Published shortly before the author's death in 1919, The Journal of a Disappointed Man presents a remarkable memoir that addresses struggles with poverty, inadequate education, and the creeping paralysis of multiple sclerosis. Yet author W. N. P. Barbellion manages to write with uplifting eloquence and passion of his love for family, natural history, music, and literature. Told with a thoroughly modern voice, the unjustly overlooked Journal is reprinted here with its posthumous successor, A Last Diary. This edition features a thoughtful Introduction by H. G. Wells, who writes of the book's exquisite beauty.
W. N. P. Barbellion (1889-1919), whose real name was Bruce Frederick Cummings, was a naturalist who worked in the Entomology Department of London's Natural History Museum. Upon attempting to enlist in the British Army during World War I, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The discovery of his disease intensified the tenor of his journal-keeping, and his frank and articulate reflections on coping with a fatal illness remain a powerful testament to his life and struggles.

Great morning run gloves
Color: (001) Black / Black / Reflective, Size: Large
Absolutely love these gloves and they are perfect for a fall morning run or as an extra layer inside a mitten I have noticed under armour gloves seem to run slightly small but the large fit ne perfect and id consider my hand a little on the smaller side these fit perfectly snug

Lightweight, good touchscreen functionality, poor sewing quality
Color: Black (002)/Black, Size: Small, Color: Black (002)/Black, Size: Small
I really liked these gloves. They are thin, but provided a fair amount of warmth. The touch screen worked great. I also thought the little pocket was a great addition. The downside is the second time I wore them, the seam on the thumb split. Not sure if it was a defect in just this pair or a recurring thing as my size was sold out when I attempted to exchange them.
