They made an honest living, raised children with strong values, and created a better life for the family. But they had to confront an unthinkable challenge when their second daughter, Melissa, was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia.

The family would witness Melissa's excruciating treatment before she lost her battle at age twelve.

In this memoir, the author chronicles his life from his humble beginnings growing up in the province of Bulacan, Philippines, falling in love, and immigrating to the United States.

At its core, however, the book is about his beloved daughter and includes snippets from her personal diary. Woven throughout the story are the author's reflections as well as Melissa's poignant poems and heartbreaking last writings.

Within twelve short years, Melissa was able to teach others life lessons that highlighted the value of being kind, selfless, and loving. She was also able to find self-fulfillment, which enabled her to courageously and confidently express her willingness to join her Creator. Having had more than thirty years to reflect on her life, her father tells her story-as well as his.

After Milly asks her grandma about the cloth, she is led on an exciting adventure guided by an uninhibited potato and other imaginary root vegetable friends, where she learns to accept others, even when they are different from her.

In this delightful read with me children's book with an important message, a group of imaginary root vegetable friends guide a little girl through her questions about differences, life, and others around her.

Developments in neuroscience are turning sci-fi scenarios into reality, and causing us to revisit some of the philosophical questions we have been asking ourselves for centuries.

Science fiction often takes its inspiration from the latest science . . . and our oldest questions. After all, the two are inextricably linked. At a time when advances in artificial intelligence are genuinely leading us closer to a computer that thinks like a human, we can't help but wonder: What makes a person a person?

Countless writers and filmmakers have created futuristic scenarios to explore this issue and others like it. But these scenarios may not be so futuristic after all.

In the movie Inception, a group of conspirators implants false memories; in Until the End of the World, a mad scientist is able to read dreams; in 2001: A Space Odyssey, a supercomputer feels and thinks like a person. And in recent years, the achievements described in leading scientific journals have included some that might sound familiar: implanting memories using optogenetics, reading the mind during sleep thanks to advanced decoding algorithms, and creating a computer that uses deep neural networks to surpass the abilities of human thought.

In NeuroScience Fiction, neuroscientist and author Rodrigo Quiroga reveals the futuristic present we are living in, showing how the far-out premises of 10 seminal science fiction movies are being made possible by discoveries happening right now, on the cutting edge of neuroscience. He also explores the thorny philosophical problems raised as a result, diving into Minority Report and free will, The Matrix and the illusion of reality, Blade Runner and android emotion, and more.

A heady mix of science fiction, neuroscience, and philosophy, NeuroScience Fiction takes us from Vanilla Sky to neural research labs, and from Planet of the Apes to what makes us human. This is a book you'll be thinking about long after the last page--and once you've read it, you'll never watch a sci-fi blockbuster the same way again.
