Turn a Blind Eye is the third instalment in the gripping story of Detective Inspector William Warwick, by the master storyteller and Sunday Times number one bestselling author of the Clifton Chronicles.

As much of the world's population grows older, the quest for a "good death," has become a significant issue. For many, the right to die often means the right to die with dignity. The Inevitable moves beyond margins of the law to the people who are meticulously planning their final hours-far from medical offices, legislative chambers, hospital ethics committees, and polite conversation-and the people who help them, loved ones or clandestine groups on the Internet known as the "euthanasia underground." Katie Engelhart, a veteran journalist, focuses on six people representing different aspects of the debate. Two are doctors: a California physician who runs a boutique assisted-death clinic and has written more lethal prescriptions than anyone else in the US; an Australian named Philip Nitschke who lost his medical license for teaching people how to end their lives painlessly and peacefully at "DIY Death" workshops. The other four chapters belong to people ...

There is no despair in a seed. There's only life, waiting for the right conditions-sun and water, warmth and soil-to be set free. Everyday, millions upon millions of seeds lift their two green wings. At no time in our history have Americans been more obsessed with food. Options- including those for local, sustainable, and organic food-seem limitless. And yet, our food supply is profoundly at risk. Farmers and gardeners a century ago had five times the possibilities of what to plant than farmers and gardeners do today; we are losing untold numbers of plant varieties to genetically modified industrial monocultures. In her latest work of literary nonfiction, award-winning author and activist Janisse Ray argues that if we are to secure the future of food, we first must understand where it all begins: the seed. The Seed Underground is a journey to the frontier of seed-saving. It is driven by stories, both the author's own and those from people who are waging a lush and quiet revolu...

Sylvester Stallone has been a defining part of American film for nearly four decades. He has made an impact on world entertainment in a surprisingly diverse range of capacities - as actor, writer, producer, and director - all while maintaining a monolithic presence. With The Ultimate Stallone Reader, this icon finally receives concerted academic attention. Eleven original essays by internationally-known scholars examine Stallone's contributions to mainstream cinema, independent film, and television.

Die Perspektive des Performativen geht davon aus, dass kulturelle Phänomene und Prozesse neue Wirklichkeiten hervorbringen und nicht lediglich als Zusammenhänge von Zeichen zu begreifen sind, die es zu entziffern und zu verstehen gilt. Texte, Bilder, Artefakte, Aufführungen und Praktiken aller Art lassen sich damit neu und anders wahrnehmen. Kulturen aus der Perspektive des Performativen zu untersuchen, ermöglicht den Kulturwissenschaften ganz neue Einsichten, die auch für den Laien faszinierend sind. Erika Fischer-Lichte stellt in diesem Band das Performative als eine kulturwissenschaftliche Grundkategorie vor und liefert damit die erste deutschsprachige Einführung in die kulturwissenschaftliche Performativitätsforschung.

The New York Times bestselling debut book of poetry from Lana Del Rey, Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass. "Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some of which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason I'm proud of them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic." --Lana Del Rey Lana's breathtaking first book solidifies her further as "the essential writer of her times" (The Atlantic).

Pagan Portals - Herbs of the Sun, Moon and Planets combines herbalism with astrology and explains how the ancient herbalists like Culpeper assigned specific herbs to planetary rulers. Various characteristics were used to decide what planet ruled particular herbs. Mars is the God of War and herbs that have this planet as their ruler display aggressive properties and appearance, such as thorns or red berries or sap. Dragon trees have red resin known as Dragon's Blood. The book is divided into sections for each group of herbs. So there are seven divisions for herbs of the Sun, Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn, each containing seven herbs. Herbs of the Sun, Moon and Planets will be essential reading for herbalists and gardeners, and will also appeal to those with a general interest in the occult and astrology.

Das Buch stellt eine bisher nahezu unbekannte, aktuell noch knapp 2300 Gewebe und Kostümfragmente umfassende Textilsammlung vor, die der NS-Architekt Albert Speer in den Jahren 1940-1945 anlegen ließ. Sie diente als Vorbildersammlung für die Innenausstattung von Repräsentationsbauten, die Hitler und Speer im Zuge der Umgestaltung Berlins zur neuen Reichshauptstadt "Germania" planten. Der Entstehungszeitraum der Stoffe reicht von den 40er Jahren des 20. Jh. bis in die spätantike Zeit zurück. Der von Speer beauftragte Innendekorateur Wilhelm Hanzer erwarb sie vor allem in Italien und Frankreich, aber auch in Deutschland und Belgien. Neben einer systematischen Erfassung der Textilien, die sich derzeit im Berliner Kunstgewerbemuseum befinden, informiert der Band über die Finanzierung und Aufbewahrung der Sammlung. Die äußeren Umstände unter denen die Ankäufe in den jeweiligen Ländern erfolgten, werden untersucht und die Geschichte von Verwendung, Handel und Manufaktur von Dekorat...

2013 Reprint of 1932 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Color reproduction of Frontispiece. George Washington Carey (1845-1924) was an American physician known for a number of 1910s 'Chemistry of Life' publications, a subject which he referred to as biochemistry, particularly his 1919 "The Chemistry of Human Life". Carey combined a mixture of religion, astrology, physiology, anatomy, and chemistry, themed particularly with a mineral-based theory of human disease, to develop his theories. Carey is popular among the new-age and homeopathic circles. In the context of a person viewed as a "human molecule", Carey was the first to state that a person's body is a "chemical formula in operation." This title is divided into two parts. Part 1 is entitled the "Relation of the Mineral Salts of the Body to the Signs of the Zodiac", while Part 2 is an "Esoteric Analysis and Syn...

The classic translation of the cornerstone work of western philosophy Plato's Republic is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential works in the history of philosophy. Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors, it is an inquiry into the notion of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. During the conversation other questions are raised: what is goodness; what is reality; what is knowledge; what is the purpose of education? With remarkable lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at a depiction of a state bound by harmony and ruled by 'philosopher kings'.
