Book excerpt: Centuries have passed since civilization's brush with apocalypse. The world's greatest threats have all been silenced. There is no anger, no hatred, no war. There is only perfect peace...and fear. A terrible secret was closely guarded for centuries: every single soul walking the earth, though in appearance totally normal, is actually dead, long ago genetically stripped of true humanity. Nine years have gone by since an unlikely hero named Rom Sebastian first discovered a secret and consumed an ancient potion of blood to bring himself back to life in Forbidden. Surviving against impossible odds, Rom has gathered a secret faction of followers who have also taken the blood-the first Mortals in a world that is dead. But The Order has raised an elite army to hunt and crush the living. Division and betrayal threaten to destroy the Mortals from within. The final surviving hope for humanity teeters on the brink of annihilation and no one knows the path to survival. On the heels of Forbidden comes MORTAL, the second novel in The Books of Mortals saga penned by Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee. Set in a terrifying, medieval future, where grim pageantry masks death, this tale of dark desires and staggering stakes peels back the layers of the heart for all who dare take the journey. The Books of Mortals are three novels, each of which stands on its own, yet all are seamlessly woven into one epic thriller.

Download or read book Mortal Subjects written by Christina Howells and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide ranging and challenging book explores the relationship between subjectivity and mortality as it is understood by a number of twentieth-century French philosophers including Sartre, Lacan, Levinas and Derrida. Making intricate and sometimes unexpected connections, Christina Howells draws together the work of prominent thinkers from the fields of phenomenology and existentialism, religious thought, psychoanalysis, and deconstruction, focussing in particular on the relations between body and soul, love and death, desire and passion. From Aristotle through to contemporary analytic philosophy and neuroscience the relationship between mind and body (psyche and soma, consciousness and brain) has been persistently recalcitrant to analysis, and emotion (or passion) is the locus where the explanatory gap is most keenly identified. This problematic forms the broad backdrop to the work’s primary focus on contemporary French philosophy and its attempts to understand the intimate relationship between subjectivity and mortality, in the light not only of the ‘death’ of the classical subject but also of the very real frailty of the subject as it lives on, finite, desiring, embodied, open to alterity and always incomplete. Ultimately Howells identifies this vulnerability and finitude as the paradoxical strength of the mortal subject and as what permits its transcendence. Subtle, beautifully written, and cogently argued, this book will be invaluable for students and scholars interested in contemporary theories of subjectivity, as well as for readers intrigued by the perennial connections between love and death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary of Being Mortal Gawande starts by explaining that doctors in general are never trained to tend to the emotional needs of the patient. The only things that he learned was to identify, diagnose, treat and cure diseases that plagued modern medicine. He was trained to understand the complex science behind the human body, not the mind. He did not realize just how relevant emotions are in real life until he started practicing medicine and treating the dying. There is one case in particular that has a lasting impact on Gawande and changed his world forever. During his stay as a junior surgical resident, Gawande treated a patient by the name of Joseph Lazaroff for cancer. Science had not yet found a cure for his condition, so, not surprisingly, radiation treatment failed. There was only one last option left, and it was to perform surgery on Mr. Lazaroff. While surgery was the only real option left, the doctors were aware there was slim chance of success. In the best case scenario, the surgery would be able to extend his life for a few months, a life confined to a hospital bed. While surgery was an option, it was very high risk. There was a good chance that Mr. Lazaroff would not survive the surgery and on top of that, post-surgery complications were severe. The doctors presented the options to Mr. Lazaroff, and he chose the surgery thinking that it was his best solution. The surgery was performed and two weeks later, Mr. Lazaroff passed away due to complications from the surgery. Looking back at this story, Gawande expresses that there was a failure of the doctors to fully comprehend the reality of Mr. Lazaroff’s situation, as well as their own abilities. According to Gawande, the surgery was destined to fail before it even began. The doctors chose not to fully confront this reality of a failure, and hoped blindly for a miracle. The doctors were not able to fully communicate their concerns with the surgery to the patient. Gawande states that the real problem was not the doctors involved, the real problem lay with the professional medical institutions that granted their licenses. They were never taught to provide emotional support for a dying patient. They were never even taught to face the reality of a dying person. Gawande states that doctors are not to blame for cases like this, instead the modern medical system of schooling is. Medical schools do not prepare graduates with the training necessary for the realities of a patient’s death. Gawande’s book is an examination of how an honest and conscious look at the realities and experiences of the dying can serve to benefit them. Sometimes there is no treatment, remedy, or surgery that can save a life. It is during these times that modern medicine has no answer, and continues put lives in a greater risk than necessary, when they need to face reality and provide the best possible solution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 1903 - the exact moment is now lost to history - Sherlock Holmes proclaimed to the world he was quitting England's Capital to go into retirement on a small, wind-swept farm in the Sussex South Downs. His shocked comrade-in-arms Dr. John H. Watson was later to write, 'The decision took me utterly by surprise. I thought I had become an institution around Holmes, like his Stradivarius, or the old, oily black clay pipe and his index books.' Reluctantly Watson wrote up three recent cases yet unpublished and returned to his medical practice. Holmes retirement didn't last long. Once more his faithful Amanuensis Watson took up his pen - and his Army Service revolver. The result was three more of the most intriguing cases ever undertaken by the famous pair. All six adventures have now been brought together in this special edition. A Most Diabolical Plot. 'Not 'til the day the bugle blows for me shall I forget the most diabolical attempt ever made on my friend Sherlock Holmes's life.' The Ghost of Dorset House. 'At eight o'clock on an April evening in 1894 a ghost came upon an intruder in a great London mansion and chased him through pitch-black staterooms and corridors.' The Captain in the Duke of Wellington's Regiment. 'A ceremonial half-guard composed of six or seven men in the uniform of the Duke's Regiment was forming on the mansion's terrace, each soldier glancing through the barrel of his rifle to check for cleanliness. I turned the opera glasses on them.' Die Weisse Frau. 'McCoy was waiting with an impatient air. On catching sight of me, he trotted up with the second horse. With a glance around but hardly a word of greeting, he cantered off, remaining silent until the horses had broken a little sweat.' The Pegasus Affair. 'An envelope arrived at the surgery containing a newspaper cutting from The Eastbourne Chronicle, headed Grand National Horse Race To Be Run For The First Time Away From Aintree.' The Mystery of the Missing Artefacts. 'The heavy door of my cell swung open. Rather than the surly Turkish warder bringing a once-daily bowl of watery grey soup, a visitor from the outside world stood there.'

Book excerpt: RECOVERY OF INDIA presents a holistic view of the country's unmatched tradition, its growth through centuries of chequered history vis-à-vis its present struggle to rediscover its incomparably rich legacy in a world of cut-throat competition and mind-boggling speed of rat race that seems to run from nowhere to nowhere.

Book excerpt: 'What [Wilson] Harris is doing is to extend the boundaries of our very conception of fiction.' Robert Nye. First published in 1982, The Angel at the Gate is offered to readers as Wilson Harris's analysis and interpretation of the 'automatic writing' of 'Mary Stella Holiday': an assumed name for the secretary and patient of the late Father Joseph Marsden. 'Mary suffered from a physical and nervous malaise as The Angel at the Gate makes clear. Through Marsden - the medical care he arranged for her and the sessions he provided in Angel Inn which gave scope to her 'automatic talents' - that illness became a catalyst of compassion through which she penetrated layers of social and psychical deprivation to create a remarkable fictional life for 'Stella' (apart from 'Mary') in order to unravel the thread that runs through a diversity of association in past and present 'fictional lives.'' (From Harris's introductory 'Note.')
