Book Description
This is an abridged paperback version of Frank's novel, Taking Care of Harry. Mylie O'Farrell is 19 years old. By day he works as a health care assistant in a psychiatric unit in London. Off duty, he indulges his interest in music, girls and wild nights on the town with his friends, Janus and Rich, who share a ramshackle house in Westminster they call 'The Palace'. Everything changes when ex-army officer Harry is admitted to the Unit after purportedly trying to strangle his wife, Muriel. Harry, who is suffering from melancholia, has no visitors so Mylie takes a special interest in the cantankerous old man. Through a series of stormy if humour-laden encounters, the young man and old man become friends, each allowing the other a glimpse into the deepest and most intimate secrets of their lives. This is also the story of the women in their lives, of Muriel and Tabi. As, little by little, Mylie realises that Harry is harbouring a secret terror, he sets about bringing this into the open so that his friend can be set free. It is suffused with great joy, sorrow, and a haunting sense of beauty - a funny, beautiful and poignant story that has inspired film makers and poets.

The Doomsday Calculation
Author: William Poundstone
Publisher: Little, Brown Spark
ISBN: 031644071X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
From the author of Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google?, a fascinating look at how an equation that foretells the future is transforming everything we know about life, business, and the universe. In the 18th century, the British minister and mathematician Thomas Bayes devised a theorem that allowed him to assign probabilities to events that had never happened before. It languished in obscurity for centuries until computers came along and made it easy to crunch the numbers. Now, as the foundation of big data, Bayes' formula has become a linchpin of the digital economy. But here's where things get really interesting: Bayes' theorem can also be used to lay odds on the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence; on whether we live in a Matrix-like counterfeit of reality; on the "many worlds" interpretation of quantum theory being correct; and on the biggest question of all: how long will humanity survive? The Doomsday Calculation tells how Silicon Valley's profitable formula became a controversial pivot of contemporary thought. Drawing on interviews with thought leaders around the globe, it's the story of a group of intellectual mavericks who are challenging what we thought we knew about our place in the universe. The Doomsday Calculation is compelling reading for anyone interested in our culture and its future.

Spirits Realm
Author: Ross Rozani
Publisher: Partridge Publishing Singapore
ISBN: 1543748864
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 93
Book Description
The spirit realm is just like a fantasy world, as spirits are invisible to the eyes and impossible to prove their existence. The only guide we have is from religious scriptures. The acceptance is very much dependent on the strength of faith of the one who’s seeking them. Experiences are often rebuked or circumvented, and that is how we lose the opportunity to understand the unseen’s existence. When belief and science collide, we struggle and start taking sides based on the only knowledge we have at the time and life goes on as if nothing else matters. Age is a factor that reminds us that we are mortal and will inevitably cease to be one day. Only then do we realize that we have a double life to lead, which is the physical and the spiritual life. That is when we appreciate that we do have a spiritual life that we should take care of. To unravel the mystery of the spirit world is not an easy task; it requires serious dedication and a lot of passion to eliminate baseless hearsay. Understanding and appreciation of the spiritual world and their activities are delicate, and only the strength of faith can bestow these upon us.
