The Naked Eye
Author: Dr Michael Lawless Dr Gerard Sutton
Of the five senses, vision is the most astonishing. This is how we weave our way through the world. And although the eye has evolved over millions of years to give us crystal clear vision, it is a modern day phenomenon that, in evolutionary terms, our eyesight is going backwards. Due to presbyopia, we are now dependent on reading glasses for half our lives. In parts of East Asia up to 90% of school leavers are now short‐sighted. This has been attributed to work, study and lifestyle factors as well as the ageing of the population. And whilst we all know there have been some amazing advances in modern medicine, what seems to have escaped everyone's attention is the revolution that has taken place in laser eye surgery. Two gifted Australian surgeons, Professor Gerard Sutton and Dr Michael Lawless, now recognised as being among the best ophthalmologists in the world in their field, were there from the beginning of this revolution. From London to New York, New Orleans and Bogota they...

The Naked-Eye Sky
Author: James Sowell
This guide is for the budding astronomy enthusiast who wants to learn about the night sky. You are not ready to buy a telescope or join an astronomy club, and you have some basic questions but don't want to be overwhelmed by math and physics. You are ready to take the first step, but how do you begin? This is the guide for you. Think of me as your next-door neighbor, backyard astronomer, and together we are watching the sun set and the stars come out on a crisp October evening.
The Naked-Eye Sky describes astronomical objects and explains daily, monthly, and yearly phenomena. You will learn why the Earth has seasons and the Moon goes through phases. You will meet some constellations, a few stars, and even a galaxy -- all of which you can see without a telescope or pair of binoculars. In fact, there are no pictures in this book taken with a telescope -- you only need your eyes to see the sights! -
Naked Alliances: A Richard Noggin Novel (The Naked Eye Private Investigator Series Book 1)
Author: S.K. Nicholls
A riveting romp through Central Florida, Naked Alliances air-drops you into the seedier side of Orlando that the amusement park industry tries to keep under wraps.
When a young immigrant woman and an exotic dancer are fleeing men with guns and have no place to hide, Richard Noggin, P.I., can’t turn his back on them, even if helping them makes him a target.
Richard plans to impress an aspiring politician by taking on a big white-collar case with the potential of getting him off the streets and into air-conditioned offices. Instead, he's handed a cold case and quickly finds himself sucked into a shadowy world of sex, secrets and…murder.
Marked for a bullet and stretched thin by his investigations, he reluctantly teams up with the unlikely, brassy custodian of the young woman on the run. With bodies piling up, they go undercover in a nudist resort, determined to catch the killer and bring down the mastermind of the Alliance before someone else dies.

The naked eye
Author: Morris Desmond
Here is another delightful book by a keen observer of animals (human and other) and a prolific author of some 35 books, including the groundbreaking The Naked Ape and the best-selling The Human Zoo. This collection of well-written essays recounts Morris's 30 years of travel "in search of the human species" to some 60 countries, including such places as Malta, Gibraltar, Japan, Bombay, and French Polynesia, as well as his 92-day cruise around the world. Although Morris's travels are in many ways related to his study of human and animal behavior, the renowned natural historian claims no monopoly on interpretation, summing it up best when he cautions the reader not to fall for "that propaganda about requiring advanced technical skills in order to be able to unravel the mysteries of the universe....It is amazing how much is sitting out there, just waiting to be discovered, simply by using the naked eye." This witty account is recommended for all public and academic libraries. Lee . . .
