A Leg to Stand on

Editura: VINTAGE

Anul aparitiei: 2020

From the bestselling author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat - Here the doctor becomes the patient as Dr. Sacks chronicles the mountaineering accident which left him with the uncanny feeling of being "legless," and raises profound questions of the physical basis of identity. "One of the great clinical writers of the 20th century." -- The New York Times Book Review In A Leg to Stand On , it is Sacks himself who is the patient: an encounter with a bull on a desolate mountain in Norway has left him with a severely damaged leg. But what should be a routine recuperation is actually the beginning of a strange medical journey when he finds that his leg uncannily no longer feels like part of his body. Sacks's brilliant description of his crisis and eventual recovery is not only an illuminating examination of the experience of patienthood and the inner nature of illness and health but also a fascinating exploration of the physical basis of identity. This 1984 classic is now available in an expanded edition with a new foreword, written by Kate Edgar, executive director of the Oliver Sacks Foundation.

Squadron insignia, camouflage, heraldry, nose-art and command markings varied significantly between squadrons, giving a wide variety of color schemes. The profiles, based on photos, diaries and other wide-ranging documents, are accompanied by brief histories of each squadron, the development of respective heraldry and information on each aircraft profiled.The author, Michael Claringbould, is world-renown for his expertise in respect to the A-20 in the Pacific, stemming from his direct involvement in locating and recovering one from New Guinea in 1984.

Where Grieving Begins: Building Bridges After the Brighton Bomb - A Memoir

Editura: PLUTO PR

Anul aparitiei: 2021

An enduring peace is only possible through a genuine understanding of the past. To understand the Troubles is to set them in the context of the historical root causes of the conflict, in order to grapple with its pain and its horrors; to grieve and then, perhaps, to heal. Where Grieving Begins is the memoir of Patrick Magee, the man who planted the 1984 Brighton bomb - an attempt by the Provisional IRA to kill the British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, and her cabinet. In an unflinching reckoning with the past, Magee recounts the influences and events of his life. He chronicles the profound experience of meeting Jo Berry - whose father was one of five people killed - and the extraordinary work they have done together. A chasm of misunderstanding endures around the Troubles and the history of British rule in Ireland. This memoir builds a bridge to a common understanding. It is written in the belief that much is possible, even in the face of profound differences, when there is a genuine commitment to honesty, inclusion and dialogue.

Toxic

Editura: ThunderPoint Publishing Limited

Anul aparitiei: 2014

On the morning of December 4th 1984, municipal workers in Bhopal, India, were clearing some 4,000 dead bodies and thousands of animal carcasses from the streets following the world's worst industrial accident. The toxic cloud that caused the massive death toll formed when water poured into a tank of improperly stored methyl isocyanate (MIC). It doesn't look dangerous. And you can't smell it until it's too late. You can only hope it's not sitting around anywhere near you . . . In the Scottish city of Dundee, life and all its complications are proceeding much the same as usual. The recklessly brilliant DI Donna Davenport, struggling to hide her bi-polarity from police colleagues and get over the break-up with her partner Libby, has been suspended from duty for a fiery and inappropriate outburst to the press. DI Evanton, an old-fashioned, hard-living misogynistic copper has been newly demoted for thumping a suspect, and transferred to Dundee with a final warning ringing in his ears and a reputation that precedes him. And in the peaceful, rolling farmland of Fife a deadly store of MIC, the toxin that devastated Bhopal, is being illegally stored by a criminal gang smuggling the valuable ...

Energy Future Fossils and Beyond

Editura: Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc.

Anul aparitiei: 2017

We cannot survive in a world where oil is $200 per barrel and where prices are dictated by a cartel and influenced by Wall Street. The free industrialized world, the glorious oil industry, and developed and developing countries have all fallen victim to greedy oil price crises. The worst year was 2008; our energy security, which the IEA defines as the "uninterrupted availability of energy sources at an affordable price," was harmed. Yet the average price of crude oil in 2010-2014 was over $100 per barrel, only to sharply decline to $56 by the end of 2014, followed by an ongoing struggle to reach $50-a price which is considered "acceptable" by the industry. Since 2015 and until fall 2017 crude oil price still kept below the $50 level. Energy Future puts the oil and gas industry's past and present in context in order to introduce an alternative future. This future is based on three main pillars defined by the author as ENERGY GPS: geopolitics = accessible, prices = affordable, and supply = available. Moty Kuperberg is a graduate of the department of Middle Eastern history at the University of Haifa (1984), and he holds a postgraduate degree in business administration and shipping ...
