"This book is only for people who like joy, absurdity, passion, genius, dry wit, youthful folly, amusing historical arcana, or telescopes." --Rivka Galchen, author of Little Labors and American Innovations
In 1666, an astronomer makes a prediction shared by no one else in the world: at the stroke of noon on June 30 of that year, a solar eclipse will cast all of Europe into total darkness for four seconds. This astronomer is rumored to be using the longest telescope ever built, but he is also known to be blind--and not only blind, but incapable of sight, both his eyes having been plucked out some time before under mysterious circumstances. Is he mad? Or does he, despite this impairment, have an insight denied the other scholars of his day?
These questions intrigue the young Gottfried Leibniz--not yet the world-renowned polymath who would go on to discover calculus, but a nineteen-year-old whose faith in reason is shaky at best. Leibniz sets off to investigate the astronomer's claim, and over the three hours remaining before the eclipse occurs--or fails to occur--the astronomer tells the scholar the haunting and hilarious story behind his strange prediction: a tale that ends up encompassing kings and princes, family squabbles, obsessive pursuits, insanity, philosophy, art, loss, and the horrors of war.
Written with a tip of the hat to the works of Thomas Bernhard and Franz Kafka, Adam Ehrlich Sachs' The Organs of Sense stands as a towering comic fable: a story about the nature of perception, and the ways the heart of a loved one can prove as unfathomable as the stars.

Описание:
This book is written for every Christian whose faith life is stuck in neutral; for everyone whose faith life is plateaued, and especially for who for everyone who wants to reach for the higher levels of what is possible in relationship with God through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit.
This book is built on the premise that Christianity contains within its teachings a blueprint for living the longest, healthiest, happiest, wealthiest, fullest and most intelligent life possible, and that all comes to us by living in a close personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. So this book draws out the scriptures from both the Old and New Testaments that point the way to building materials and steps needed to build a most excellent life-enhancing relationship with God.
Spiritual health is comprised of a mixture of knowledge, faith, and application, in the daily practice of Christianity that all together lead to the development of close personal relationship with God. Many scientific studies have demonstrated that improved mental, physical, and emotional health and wellbeing are wonderful side benefits to true spiritual health; and other studies have shown that tending well to our mental, physical, and emotional health contribute to our spiritual health. Because spiritual health is inextricably intertwined with physical, mental, and emotional health this book takes a holistic approach to spiritual development that will help the reader take full advantage of the wide range of blessings that come to a person who lives in a close personal relationship with God.

Rick describes catastrophic fires, including one at a major oil refinery where eight firefighters died and another at a high rise office building where three more lost their lives, and he shares the story of the radical group Move and the bomb the city dropped on their row-home compound that killed eleven people, including five children. He also pays tribute to 9/11 and the courageous New York City Fire Department.
A Firefighter's Story is an homage to a remarkable profession and the men and women who take it on, told through the story of one of their own....

Описание:
There's a silent epidemic in western civilization, and it is right under our noses. Our jaws are getting smaller and our teeth crooked and crowded, creating not only aesthetic challenges but also difficulties with breathing. Modern orthodontics has persuaded us that braces and oral devices can correct these problems. While teeth can certainly be straightened, what about the underlying causes of this rapid shift in oral evolution and the health risks posed by obstructed airways?
Sandra Kahn and Paul R. Ehrlich, a pioneering orthodontist and a world-renowned evolutionist, respectively, present the biological, dietary, and cultural changes that have driven us toward this major health challenge. They propose simple adjustments that can alleviate this developing crisis, as well as a major alternative to orthodontics that promises more significant long-term relief. Jaws will change your life. Every parent should read this book.
