Every day, funeral director Caitlin Doughty receives dozens of questions about death. The best questions come from kids. What would happen to an astronaut's body if it were pushed out of a space shuttle? Do people poop when they die? Can Grandma have a Viking funeral?
In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, Doughty blends her mortician's knowledge of the body and the intriguing history behind common misconceptions about corpses to offer factual, hilarious, and candid answers to thirty-five distinctive questions posed by her youngest fans. In her inimitable voice, Doughty details lore and science of what happens to, and inside, our bodies after we die. Why do corpses groan? What causes bodies to turn colors during decomposition? And why do hair and nails appear longer after death? Readers will learn the best soil for mummifying your body, whether you can preserve your best friend's skull as a keepsake, and what happens when you die on a plane.
Beautifully illustrated by Diann Ruz, Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? shows us that death is science and art, and only by asking questions can we begin to embrace it.
Описание: An award-winning western novelist (North to Yesterday, Wanderer Springs) with decidedly liberal political leanings writes a spiritual autobiography unlike any other. The author grew up in a small west Texas town, attended seminary, became a war correspondent in Vietnam, and taught creative writing and literature for 40 years at Trinity University in San Antonio. With a deep sense of the irony of his project, he sets out to explain how the Bible came to be, delving into historical misconceptions, errors in translation, political and cultural biases, as well as the editorial failings of the Bible's many authors - and yet, he arrives at a place of ultimate faith. Holy Literary License is not anyone's traditional Sunday School material, but contemporary, open-minded Christians will find the book both enlightening and inspirational - and at times, intensely humorous. Flynn, the author of Growing Up A Sullen Baptist, is known for his wry wit and his humane insight. This work is his masterpiece.

Half a galaxy away, Captain William Riker and the crew of the Starship Titan have made contact with the reclusive Caeliar--survivors of a stellar cataclysm that, two hundred years ago, drove fissures through the structure of space and time, creating a loop of inevitability and consigning another captain and crew to a purgatory from which they could never escape.

But even gods may come to understand that they underestimate humans at their peril.

In A DREAM OF MORTALS, Thorgrin and his brothers struggle to break free from the grips of the pirates, and to continue their search for Guwayne at sea. As they encounter unexpected friends and foes, magic and weaponry, dragons and men, it will change the very course of their destiny. Will they finally find Guwayne?
Darius and his few friends survive the massacre of their people--but only to find that they are captives, thrown into the Empire Arena. Shackled together, facing unimaginable opponents, their only hope for survival is to stand and fight together, as brothers.
Gwendolyn wakes from her slumber to discover that she and the others have survived their trek across the Great Waste--and even more shocking, that they have come to a land beyond their wildest imagination. As they are brought into a new royal court, the secrets Gwendolyn learns about her ancestors and her own people will change her destiny forever.
Erec and Alistair, still captive at sea, struggle to break free from the grips of the Empire fleet in a bold and daring nighttime escape. When odds seem at their worst, they receive an unexpected surprise that might just give them a second chance for victory--and another chance to continue their attack on the heart of the Empire.
Godfrey and his crew, imprisoned once again, set to be executed, have one last chance to try to escape. After being betrayed, they want more than escape this time--they want vengeance.
Volusia is surrounded on all sides as she strives to take and hold the Empire capital--and she will have to summon a more powerful magic than she's ever known if she is to prove herself a Goddess, and become Supreme Ruler of the Empire. Once again, the fate of the Empire hangs in the balance.
With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A DREAM OF MORTALS is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.

Описание: The lives of an unhappily married retired medical specialist with apparent dentin and a deceptively prim nurse with secrets to hide are forever changed by the events of a stormy winter night in the fictional city of Redfern near Toronto. Add in a drug-dealing fly fisherman, egotistical police officers, a nagging wife, ambitious lawyers, a shady newspaper reporter, a Muslim physician, and a professor of moral philosophy, all of whose lives become intricately intertwined because of those same events, and you still have only part of this fast-paced thriller chok full of lies, deceptions and secrets. Medical mysteries abound while deep questions of morality, religion, and philosophy are hotly debated but left largely unanswered. The intrigue is compounded by adventures in Northern Ontario, upstate New York, the Grand Canyon, and Macchu Picchu.
