Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - As she makes her daily rounds to visit her nursing home patients, a geriatrician tells us what life and death are like in long-term care, given the insights of a decade of practice. Gilah Silber, M.D., offers up candid portraits of patients, the families who surround or neglect them, and the varied personalities of facilities themselves, where treatment and care are colored by the administrative outlook and the attitudes of staff. Alongside her stories, which are by turns fascinating, funny, exasperating, and moving, Dr. Silber points up the problems and predicaments of old age and chronic illness, some of which can be 'solved' and some of which cannot. She raises searching questions about long-term institutionalized care, and shows how much the standards of business, science, and law-as well as shifting ethics-influence how we care now. In what might be termed 'self-help for the astute, ' Dr. Silber's book is a catalyst, provoking us to think creatively about aging and the end of life.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - A stranger moves into an empty house above a remote fishing port in the West of Ireland. The residents know only that he's 'from the North' and is taciturn and moody. Donal, a local man with reputed links to Republican paramilitaries, is especially suspicious. The newcomer is befriended, however, by three people: the young parish priest, Father Brian; a 12-year old lad with learning difficulties called Tony; and Tony's mother Kathleen, grateful for the stranger's kindness to her son. When it's revealed that the man, Mahood, is in fact a former RUC officer, tensions in the village rise. Father Brian, though he believes Mahood's story that he's come there to get over a personal tragedy, pleads with him to leave. But soon they're caught up in a rapid sequence of events which underline the isolated location of the village, the conflict of loyalties between the characters, and the difficulty of building trust between communities divided by centuries of hostility.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In this novel of pulp espionage, the author, Scott Shaw, takes the reader deep into the realms of Asia presenting the sights and sounds of the environment in a manner that can only be truly depicted by a writer who has lived the experiences and knows the region. This first-person, graphically explicit tale, follows a reluctant protagonist as he travels from his home in Southern California, recruited by a dubious faction of the United States government, to handle an operation that no one else would touch. Expendable, was the key phrase in his recruitment. Chalked full of unexpected plot twists, this action-packed novel follows the lead character as he transverses the realms of lust, love, anger, until he finally embraces the pure emotion of self-sacrifice -- seeking only to save the female agent who was sent with him on the mission.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The Science of Spirituality is a systematic framework integrating science, psychology, philosophy, spirituality and religion into one unified account of consciousness and the multi-dimensional nature of reality. Drawing on decades of research into esoteric and Theosophical thought, it explores the mechanisms behind reincarnation, karma, near-death and out-of-body experiences, clairvoyance and psychic phenomena, subjects mainstream science has largely left unexamined.It doesn't ask readers to abandon a scientific worldview, or a religious one, but shows where the two overlap, and where each has so far told only part of the story.Across eighteen chapters, the book builds from first principles to practical application. It begins by deconstructing the assumptions underlying both scientific materialism and conventional religion, then locates the common ground between them, before mapping out: - Consciousness itself, and how it relates to sleep, dreams and the multi-dimensional universe- The mechanics of creation and evolution, and the common ground between scientific and spiritual accounts of how life began- Space, time and the higher dimensions described by modern physics- The planes of existence and man's five bodies, and how they relate to different states of awareness- Reincarnation and karma, and the mechanics behind them- Heaven, hell, and the nature of angels, demons and ghosts- Out-of-body and near-death experiences, clairvoyance and psychic ability- The deeper laws governing good, evil and the consequences of our actions- Personal development and meditation as practical spiritual tools- The meaning of life, considered from a genuinely integrated perspectiveThis isn't a book of speculation. It draws on a substantial body of esoteric literature, including the work of Theosophical writers such as C. W. Leadbeater, alongside Henry T. Laurency and Arthur Powell, brought together into a single coherent structure that moves from theory to lived practice.For anyone who senses there's more to reality than either science or religion fully accounts for on its own, and who wants a structured way to think about consciousness, the afterlife and the paranormal rather than a scattering of disconnected ideas, this book offers a genuine starting point, whether you're new to these ideas or have been exploring them for years.…
