Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best-known and most sensational event in Vincent van Gogh’s life is also the least understood. For more than a century, biographers and historians seeking definitive facts about what happened on a December night in Arles have unearthed more questions than answers. Why would an artist at the height of his powers commit such a brutal act? Who was the mysterious “Rachel” to whom he presented his macabre gift? Did he use a razor or a knife? Was it just a segment—or did Van Gogh really lop off his entire ear? In Van Gogh’s Ear, Bernadette Murphy reveals, for the first time, the true story of this long-misunderstood incident, sweeping away decades of myth and giving us a glimpse of a troubled but brilliant artist at his breaking point. Murphy’s detective work takes her from Europe to the United States and back, from the holdings of major museums to the moldering contents of forgotten archives. She braids together her own thrilling journey of discovery with a narrative of Van Gogh’s life in Arles, the sleepy Provençal town where he created his finest work, and vividly reconstructs the world in which he moved—the madams and prostitutes, café patrons and police inspectors, shepherds and bohemian artists. We encounter Van Gogh’s brother and benefactor Theo, his guest and fellow painter Paul Gauguin, and many local subjects of Van Gogh’s paintings, some of whom Murphy identifies for the first time. Strikingly, Murphy uncovers previously unknown information about “Rachel”—and uses it to propose a bold new hypothesis about what was occurring in Van Gogh’s heart and mind as he made a mysterious delivery to her doorstep. As it reopens one of art history’s most famous cold cases, Van Gogh’s Ear becomes a fascinating work of detection. It is also a study of a painter creating his most iconic and revolutionary work, pushing himself ever closer to greatness even as he edged toward madness—and one fateful sweep of the blade that would resonate through the ages.

Book excerpt: Since ancient times, the human outer ear, or auricle, has been considered a tool for healing, corroborated by recent scientific research. Various points on the auricle serve a double function, providing information on the condition of the internal organs and other parts of the body, while at the same time serving as a control panel that makes it possible to "change the settings" when there is a malfunction. Rather like a computer keyboard connected to a computer network, the outer ear is connected to the entire central nervous system; pressing on one of the auricle's "keys" affects the programming of the organism's self-regulatory system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weaving together lyrical history and personal memoir, Virdi powerfully examines society’s—and her own—perception of life as a deaf person in America. At the age of four, Jaipreet Virdi’s world went silent. A severe case of meningitis left her alive but deaf, suddenly treated differently by everyone. Her deafness downplayed by society and doctors, she struggled to “pass” as hearing for most of her life. Countless cures, treatments, and technologies led to dead ends. Never quite deaf enough for the Deaf community or quite hearing enough for the “normal” majority, Virdi was stuck in aural limbo for years. It wasn’t until her thirties, exasperated by problems with new digital hearing aids, that she began to actively assert her deafness and reexamine society’s—and her own—perception of life as a deaf person in America. Through lyrical history and personal memoir, Hearing Happiness raises pivotal questions about deafness in American society and the endless quest for a cure. Taking us from the 1860s up to the present, Virdi combs archives and museums to understand the long history of curious cures: ear trumpets, violet ray apparatuses, vibrating massagers, electrotherapy machines, airplane diving, bloodletting, skull hammering, and many more. Hundreds of procedures and products have promised grand miracles but always failed to deliver a universal cure—a harmful legacy that is still present in contemporary biomedicine. Blending Virdi’s own experiences together with her exploration into the fascinating history of deafness cures, Hearing Happiness is a powerful story that America needs to hear. Praise for Hearing Happiness “In part a critical memoir of her own life, this archival tour de force centers on d/Deafness, and, specifically, the obsessive search for a “cure”. . . . This survey of cure and its politics, framed by disability studies, allows readers—either for the first time or as a stunning example in the field—to think about how notions of remediation are leveraged against the most vulnerable.” —Public Books “Engaging. . . . A sweeping chronology of human deafness fortified with the author’s personal struggles and triumphs.” —Kirkus Reviews “Part memoir, part historical monograph, Virdi’s Hearing Happiness breaks the mold for academic press publications.” —Publishers Weekly “In her insightful book, Virdi probes how society perceives deafness and challenges the idea that a disability is a deficit. . . . [She] powerfully demonstrates how cures for deafness pressure individuals to change, to “be better.” —Washington Post

Book excerpt: Cliff Durfee has a"novel"way of presenting short stories. Instead of a simple collection of eleven stories, this book is a complete novel that cleverly weaves each story into the major plot. The reader has a choice. Read any story in any order, or, read the whole novel, which contains the stories. Each story is independent of the others. This book is destined to be a classic for three major reasons: 1)the stories take on a life of their own and rereading them is not only a delight, but is also enlightening; 2)one of the most interesting subjects to humans is self discovery; and this book provides the reader with a never ending parade of ""aha"" moments; 3)in the novel portion of the overall story, the mystery surrounding the grandfather, and the sometimes humorous adventures of the grandson, enjoyably pulls one through the book. One reader confessed to slowing down his reading pace to make the book last longer. This also leaves one with a dilemma-where to place a bookmark for the night since the inclination is to see what's just beyond the next page. The readers of this book include a wide range of people.So far, the readerswhohave loved this book are from 10 to 89 years old.Althoughsome peoplenaturally gravitate to allegorical and somewhat fanciful stories, this book offers everyone a way to have a more profound experience of their intuition andinner instincts.Regardless of the reader, a commoneffectis the desire to share how a particular story relates to one's life and what they got out of it. A wonderful opportunity exists for a group setting with people willing to share their own personal insights. The Foreword was written by Jack Canfield, cocreator of the""Chicken Soup for the Soul(r)""series, and the coauthor of""The Success Principles.""Years ago, Canfield endorsed Cliff's first two books and also expresses enthusiasm about this one.In the Foreword Canfield writes, ""I believe 'Stories for the Inner Ear' can lead one to a profound discovery of how to get in touch with that voice within. Somehow, Cliff has been able to capture the delicate essence of what causes the mind to dive to greater depths in the inner world."" Isabel Pichler, ten years old, is quoted on the back cover as saying: ""Fantastic book, perfect for those who like to read. I wish I had a grandfather who told me stories like that. Amazing "" Kitty Cameron, eighty-nine years old, said: ""This book should be made into a movie I was thrilled to read it and couldn't put it down. It even helped bring back wonderful memories, which is a blessing at my age."" These eleven stories lead to that mystical place you love-where your ""inner ear"" and intuition hear that wise voice within as it whispers profound answers. Connecting the stories is an overall story about a remarkable grandfather-a wise man who listens to problems, yet never gives advice. Instead, he just says, ""That reminds me of a story; do you want to hear it?""Creative solutions arise when you listen with your ""inner ear."" As Shawn seeks out his grandfather for a new story to help solve a monumental crisis, many mysteries surface. Questions arise such as how these stories can hold so many truths for so many people; how the grandfather can recall the stories word-for-word; the secret behind the blue orb's surprise appearances; and the connection between the Orion constellation, the Egyptian pyramids, and the grandfather's secrets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All seven books in John Broughton's 'Jake Conley Mysteries', now in one volume! Elfrid's Hole: After Jake Conley regains consciousness from a coma, he discovers he’s affected by synaesthesia, and that his now cross-wired brain endows him with heightened psychic powers. Jake’s research on the Northumbrian King Aldfrith takes him to Elfrid’s Hole in North Yorkshire, where - as legend relates - the king sheltered after a bloody battle. What Jake doesn't realize is that his investigation has unleashed a series of deadly paranormal events, in which Jake himself becomes the prime suspect. Red Horse Vale: Aftering discovering his newfound powers, Jake Conley has gotten himself in a world of trouble. Now, after his cross-wired brain responds to psychometry in his childhood home, he sees his mother who had died young, and decides to go on holiday to the Cotswolds. But can he unravel the curse of the Red Horse Vale? Memory Of A Falcon: Entangled between the gods of the old world and an extremist group in the new, psychic Jake Conley is struggling to find a way to stop the zealots. When a conversion attempt leads Jake’s partner Liffi to erect a heathen temple to the old goddess Freya, the fanatics of Woden’s Brethren are furious. As their retaliation sets a string of terrorist atrocities in motion, Jake and Liffi are saved by the old goddess, but their differing philosophies begin to drive them apart. Torn between ways old and new, the two need to find a way to use their new powers and bring down the enemy. The Snape Ring: Something mysterious is loose in the British Museum, and a solution is needed. Something connects the events to malevolent forces that menaces a realm beyond our own. Only one man has the power to defeat this fearsome threat, so the Ministry of Defence engages psychic investigator Jake Conley to solve the mystery. Soon after, he discovers disturbing connections to the case, including murder. Pinions Of Gold: 674 AD. Werburgh, great-niece of the Abbess of Ely, travels by night to save the abbey's treasure under a wayside cross in the kingdom of Lindsey. A cryptic inscription on the back indicates the location of the magnificent treasure. Becoming a family heirloom, the dove resurfaces at different points in history, only to be buried again. Later in the 1930's, a ghost of a family member appears, sparking off an investigation by psychic investigator Jake Conley, who is called in to solve the mystery. Together with his wife, he sets off on search for the legendary treasure, and a trail of deaths that seems to be following it. The Serpent Wand: A sinister Masonic-Templar organization - The Brotherhood Of The Wand - is planning to bring the world to its knees and create a dystopian one-government world. The price? 80% of the world's population. To achieve this aim, they are planning to harness ley lines and other ancient earth energies to reawaken the Serpent: a mythical creature known to early civilizations by different names. On the winter solstice, an apocalyptic event is to take place, and the last line of defense against the evil organization is Jake Conley - a psychic investigator with powers of retrocognition, shapeshifting and intuition. The Beast Of Exmoor: MI5 has a task for psychic investigator Jake Conley: Operation Black Panther, a mission to obtain DNA from a beast in Exmoor. Meanwhile, wealthy arms manufacturer, Dr. Aubrey Drake, and the unhinged Major Lorimer infiltrate a top-secret military research station, dreaming of creating the ultimate soldier. Soon, Jake and his psychic powers are in their crosshairs. The odds are stacked against Jake, and he needs to tap into new areas of knowledge to defeat his enemies. But will it end in failure, as it logically should, or in a karmic payback?

Book excerpt: Volume 1: The Ear (edited by Paul Fuchs) Volume 2: The Auditory Brain (edited by Alan Palmer and Adrian Rees) Volume 3: Hearing (edited by Chris Plack) Auditory science is one of the fastest growing areas of biomedical research. There are now around 10,000 researchers in auditory science, and ten times that number working in allied professions. This growth is attributable to several major developments: Research on the inner ear has shown that elaborate systems of mechanical, transduction and neural processes serve to improve sensitivity, sharpen frequency tuning, and modulate response of the ear to sound. Most recently, the molecular machinery underlying these phenomena has been explored and described in detail. The development, maintenance, and repair of the ear are also subjects of contemporary interest at the molecular level, as is the genetics of hearing disorders due to cochlear malfunctions.

Book excerpt: “A skilled science translator, Denworth makes decibels, teslas and brain plasticity understandable to all.”—Washington Post Lydia Denworth’s third son, Alex, was nearly two when he was identified with significant hearing loss that was likely to get worse. Denworth knew the importance of enrichment to the developing brain but had never contemplated the opposite: deprivation. How would a child’s brain grow outside the world of sound? How would he communicate? Would he learn to read and write? An acclaimed science journalist as well as a mother, Denworth made it her mission to find out, interviewing experts on language development, inventors of groundbreaking technology, Deaf leaders, and neuroscientists at the frontiers of brain plasticity research. I Can Hear You Whisper chronicles Denworth’s search for answers—and her new understanding of Deaf culture and the exquisite relationship between sound, language, and learning.

The horizon may shift and change all around you, but underneath it is the heart with which we move."

Images and words harmonize to evoke the mysteries of what the Navajo call the center of the world.
