Описание: When Stevie Searle almost dies in the accident that kills her mother, she doesn't see a shining path or a golden light. Instead, she sees everyone she's ever slighted, waiting to take a piece of her in a cold, dark room. The person whose place she took in the queue, the schoolmate she cheated off, the bus driver she didn't pay? All waiting. All wanting to take their revenge when she finally crosses over. Stevie is fascinated by the dark room, so she sends herself there again. And again. And again.

Описание: William W. E. Slights examines the heart as described in the poetry and drama of Shakespeare`s time, showing it as the material and metaphorical centre of the early modern self. The book looks back to classical notions of the heart in sculpture and painting and to Renaissance studies of anatomy.
To show how the casuistical tradition illuminates the study of major literary works in the English Renaissance, Camille Slights traces the emergence of casuistry in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and discusses its influence on the moral imaginations of Shakespeare, Donne, Herbert, and Milton.

The fact is, you're probably not aware that someone is out there working overtime to keep you safe from the worst drinks ever devised, worse even than a kale martini or a Chlamydia on the Beach.
And it's okay to admit it, because you're not alone. So little is known about the dark world of alcohol espionage that very few have heard the story of the Flavor League: that hearty band of connoisseurs, idealists, nerds, and adult delinquents who, armed with nothing but their wits and a few impressive examples of cutting-edge pharmacology, strive tirelessly to safeguard the quality of the lubricants you rely on daily to cope with brutal first-world problems.
The story is emphatically not a dry history, some laundry list of exploits, removed from the daily lives of flesh-and-blood humans with real liver and kidney issues. In fact, it features two people real enough to stumble through the messy beginnings of a love affair while becoming legends in the field of ethanol policing: one a brilliant if somewhat erratic member of the League, the other a maverick tasting genius whose passionate hatred of vodka transforms the world of drinks. Two people who give new meaning to the word "courage". Also to the words "weird" and "obsessive."
So let me invite you to settle in with a bottle or two of your favorite libation, and drink your way into the somewhat woozy heart of wine and spirits justice, the battle against hucksters and flavor chemists and alcohol evil-doers of every stripe, including the ruthless ringleaders of UNIVOD, the shadowy organization whose iron fist controls modern Russia and its vodka supply, and at one point nearly that of the rest of the world, too.
How were the nefarious plans of these blackguards foiled? What's the best mineral water for a hangover? How do they get that horrible red color into those cherries? We've got a double shot of answers for you in this book: often shaken, sometimes stirred, sometimes even on the rocks--but always with a twist

Описание: In her latest collection of humor essays, award-winning author Diana Estill delivers twisted tales of past and present. Having grown up with an absent-minded father and a mother who refused to wear-but nevertheless tried to sell-beauty products, Estill drolly recalls her childhood angst and confusion. The author's keen observations about life and family straddle the line between satire and memoir, consistently hitting the comedic bull's eye. Besides poking fun at herself and her kin, Estill unleashes tongue-in-cheek commentary on subjects such as populating Mars, finding the "fun" in funerals, cloning Neanderthals, and store gun policies. ("If you're feeling unsafe enough to pack a shotgun for your trip to purchase pork rinds, then maybe you ought to stay home and shoot your own snacks.") Travelogues about crossing the pond ("Looking for the Loo in London") and commissioning a hot air balloon to fly across a desert ("Fatal Attractions") offer witty vacation advice. If you enjoy a good laugh, this book is one to add to your collection. Included in these 24 essays: An Apple a Day Teaches Nothing Cosmetically Confused Do These Jeans Make My Butt Look Perky? Fifty Nightshades of Grey Finding the "Fun" in Funerals Legally Stupid Life in Dad's Laboratory Psycho Hotline Separation of Church and Fate and more...
