Описание: A deep, weird and uncanny tale --Sheila Heti A book to devour--Iain Reid Sinister good fun --Lee Henderson Gripping and unassumingly smart --Lauren OylerA journalist with a history of bending the facts uncovers a story about a medical breakthrough so astonishing it needs no embellishment--but behind the game-changing science lies a gruesome secret. A respected byline in the culture pages of the venerable New York magazine The Bystander, journalist Whitney Chase grapples with a mysterious compulsion to enhance her coverage with intriguing untruths and undetectable white lies. She calls it the creep--an overpowering need to improve the story in the telling. And she has a particular genius for getting away with it. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, Whitney yearns to transition from profiling rock stars and novelists to covering the stories that really matter. When a chance encounter brings her face-to-face with a potentially massive story about a game-changing medical discovery, Whitney believes she's finally found a story that doesn't need any enhancement. The brilliant and charismatic doctor behind the breakthrough claims she's found the Holy Grail of medical science: a synthetic blood substitute that, if viable, promises to save millions of lives, and make her corporate backers rich beyond measure. But when Whitney's investigation of this apparent medical miracle puts her on the trail of a string of grisly fatalities across the country, she becomes inexorably tied to a much darker and more nefarious story than even she could imagine. Set against the ramp-up to the US invasion of Iraq and the decline of print journalism, Michael LaPointe's panoramic, ingeniously plotted debut paints an affecting portrait of an increasingly unequal twenty-first century, exploring how deceitfulness, self-enhancement, and confidently delivered lies can be transfused into fact and constitute a broader violence against the social fabric and public trust.

Описание:
How to reach the broadest possible audience in the shortest period of time AND hold them? Computer programming is developing and progressing in a tsunami of rapid advance. Satan decides it's time to broaden the horizons, to go "High-Tech."
Detective Inspector James "Rocky" Rockson has marginal interest in and understanding of computers. Then something unexpected happens during the course of what should be a routine open-and-shut investigation into the suicide of Miles Standish, a famous Silicon Valley computer developer and genius.
While investigating the suicide, Rocky and his partner come face to face with "Anastasia," designed to be a "home use" version of an advanced "computerized personal assistant."
Unknown to Rocky, Anastasia-renamed Lilith-has ability, programming, and functionality far beyond the capability of normal computers. Performing complex reasoning, in-depth planning while executing strategic moves, and showing a frightening artificial intelligence along with enhanced learning capability, Lilith displays alarming abilities and powers. Can Rocky solve the real purpose of Satan's App?
About the Author: FW LaPointe resides in the Great Pacific Northwest. The inspiration and idea for Satan's App comes from imagining where technology could take us: "A phone that is directly connected to Satan mass-marketed and readily available to everyone. ALL you want is a 'click away.' Think of the possibilities."

Описание:
At this very moment you are not only holding a book; you are holding the testimony of my life and my struggle with schizophrenia.
If you should decide to read it you will take a journey through a horrific tragedy through the eyes and mind of a paranoid psychotic man, years of hospitalization; psychotropic medications with side effects that sometimes seemed worse than the schizophrenia, reconstructive surgeries and a trial that held my freedom in the balance.
You'll read of the years of continued drug and alcohol abuse, the self defeating sabotaging of good things in my life, even when I was not aware of how I was destroying any hope of recovery. To be perfectly honest; I did not know if I wanted recovery. All I could feel was guilt and shame.
Then it happened; a supernatural experience with the Lord of all the earth. That night I received my salvation. Now I had hope My life has not been the same since that night. Yes, there was still ups and downs and four more years of hospitalization, but this time it was different; I had a whole new outlook.
Today I am a totally free man and it is all because of Jesus.
If you decide to read this book I hope you will not be disappointed.

Описание:
Fiction. ...AND THIS IS THE CURE follows Allison Winter, public radio pop-culture journalist and former riot grrrrrl as she regains custody of her adolescent daughter, Hanna, following the murder of her ex-husband. She is unprepared to deal with either the demands of parenting or the fury of her ex-husband's religiously conservative, grieving family, so she pulls up roots and moves Hanna from Winnipeg to Toronto. Allison's sweet-natured partner, Eden, struggles to take on the day-to-day parenting while Allison resumes her career and avoids the chaos building at home. Despite all efforts, tensions swell and Hanna's rage over her disrupted life eventually erupts in episodes of violence.
Allison's past histories--as a frontwoman for a riot grrrrrl band and her earlier history as a runaway from a conservative Christian family--return to haunt her present life. Her former bandmates want to reunite for a tour of Japan, and her sister demands help in caring for their difficult and aging mother. Allison decides it would be best for them all to return to Winnipeg, but this only sparks a whole new chapter of familial conflict, and precipitates a disastrous event that forces Allison to confront her estranged relationship with her mother and come to terms with her own troubled past.
...AND THIS IS THE CURE is a novel about the weight of unresolved baggage--its pain and trauma--and working through the process of healing and moving on.

Описание:
This story of Native American History, told by a Native American, provides a new perspective on the iconic legend Sitting Bull.
Now in paperback, this is the only book on Sitting Bull written by a lineal descendant of the famous Hunkpapa Lakota chief. Ernie LaPointe is the great-grandson of Sitting Bull, and he presents the family tales and memories told to him about his great-grandfather in this compelling monograph. In many ways, the oral history differs from what has become the standard and widely accepted biography of Sitting Bull. LaPointe explains the discrepancies, how they occurred, and why he wants to tell his story of Tatanka Iyotake.
This book is powerful. It is a Native American voice, telling Native American History, for all people to better understand a culture, a leader, and a man.
