Book Description
Meiosis, mitosis, the equator? Is the human body a direct replica of the earth? The Doldrums, Christ, and the Plantanism, Rogelio Garcia Barcala's follow up to We are Carrying a Tree Right in Front of our Face, digs deeper into the interrelation of all life in the universe, specifically here on earth . . . Are human kidneys nothing but seeds in the tree that is our body? Is the equator the magnetic seed (or catalyst) of life on earth? Barcala's use of deconstruction builds a formidable hypothesis. Using basic biology to support his ideas, Rogelio Garcia Barcala challenges the "old school" of creation theories. Welcome to philosophy of the new millennium. Gilberto Lozano Texas A&M University

Book Description
THE SUN, THE SOAP DEALERS, AND THE WASHING MACHINE, Rogelio Garcia Barcala's follow up to both "We are carrying a Tree Right in Front of our Face", and "The Doldrums, Christ, and the Plantanism" is a real jewel in the field of biology. I was reading this book with an enormous interest. Rogelio Garcia Barcala is one of the best philosophers we have in this country, at least in the particular field of biology. This book is full of surprises. Rogelio Garcia Barcala not only is an excellent writer, and a great biologist, he is a discoverer. "The Sun, the Soap Dealers, and the Washing Machine" discovers a whole new world in the field of biology. Now we know why we "breathe, why our "brain" is called "brain", and why the "branches" of a tree are called "branches". This book comes up with so many novelties that makes you tremble. M.

A work of uncanny originality, David Huddle's nineteenth book is the account of an extraordinary death trip taken by a charismatic and beloved woman, her husband, and an astonishing number of offspring, from infants to young adults. The Faulkes Chronicle explores how children grieve, and shows how the wit and courage of even the littlest brothers and sisters can be a source of resilience. Familial conversation composes an intimate requiem, transforming loss into comprehension. Only one of our finest writers could manage this delicate material. The Faulkes Chronicle is a brief, autumnal novel— made of momentary details yet with an encompassing grandeur.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
A Few Good Women is the true story of a group of women who served in the Marine Corps during World War II. They came from different backgrounds, with nothing in common but youth, naivety, health, and a desire to serve their country. Boot camp training molded them into Marines, united as one and proud of the Corps. Marine Commandant Alexander Vandergrift credited these women with freeing enough men to put the 6th Marine Division into the field. Laced with humor and wartime nostalgia, this book gives insight to the beginning of women ́s military liberation. "A candid, often graphic, personal account that provides a long-overdue salute to the valiant, innovative women who served their country well." Ted Fuller, columnist and author of "Seniors Need 12 Hugs a Day" "For me, this book was a step back in time, an honest, vivid account of what life was like for Women Marines who served in World War II. The fast-paced dialogue with clear verbal expressions make for a quick and enjoyable read." Virginia Allred, USMCWR WWII Past National President, Women Marines Association "As a former High School Teacher of Compository English, I give it an A+. ́A Few Good Women ́ is most interesting, and extremely well written." John Egan, USMC, Pearl Harbor survivor

Pages : 74
Book Description
Dear Reader, My Mom died in 1993. Not much was known about Alzheimer's at the time and we definitely didn't have the Alzheimer's drugs we do today. In fact, medical opinion was that the only way to know if someone actually died of Alzheimer's was to biopsy their brain after they died. Now they can detect the brain plaque that indicates Alzheimer's at an early stage. I'm a child of a Mom who had Alzheimer's. Every day I think about it. There's a blood test you can take to determine if you will get Alzheimer's, but I really don't want to know ahead of time. I'd rather it be like a surprise party and everyone jumps up at once. I don't want to think about it for years before it happens. I don't want to wonder if I should go out of the house with a note pinned to my blouse giving my name, address, phone number and to whom I belong. What if you don't belong to anyone?I pray they find something to stop Alzheimer's in its horrible progression. I don't care if by then I have forgotten where my keys are...I can sew them to my purse. What I care about is bigger than that. I'm a writer, I worry that I won't remember what words are. I'm an actor, I worry that I won't understand my lines. I'm a director, I worry that I won't remember how to direct. I'm a mother, I worry that I won't know my children. I'm a teacher, I worry that I will forget how to teach. I'm a school bus driver, I worry that I will forget where I am and how to get back. I'm every man, I'm every woman. Every night before I go to bed I pray that Alzheimer's will never happen to me.I moved back home to take care of my Mom who had Alzheimer's and my Dad who had severe Dementia. I didn't just write Mama, I'm Here, I lived it. Caretakers suffer along with the ones they love.-Judy Garwood
