Book Description
An award-winning exploration of the presence of the dead in the lives of the living A common remedy after suffering the loss of a loved one is to progress through the “stages of grief,” with “acceptance” as the final stage in the process. But is it necessary to leave death behind, to stop dwelling on the dead, to get over the pain? Vinciane Despret thinks not. In her fascinating, elegantly translated book, this influential thinker argues that, in practice, people in all cultures continue to enjoy a lively, inventive, positive relationship with their dead. Through her unique storytelling woven from ethnographic sources and her own family history, Despret assembles accounts of those who have found ways to live their daily lives with their dead. She rejects the idea that one must either subscribe to “complete mourning” (in a sense, to get rid of the dead) or else fall into fantasy and superstition. She explores instead how the dead still play an active, tangible role through those who are living, who might assume their place in a family or in society; continue their labor or art; or thrive from a shared inheritance or an organ donation. This is supported by dreams and voices, novels, television and popular culture, the work of clairvoyants, and the everyday stories and activities of the living. For decades now, in the West, the dead have been discreet and invisible. Today, especially as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, Despret suggests that perhaps we will be willing to engage with the dead in ways that bring us happiness despite our loss. Despret’s unique method of inquiry makes her book both entertaining and instructive. Our Grateful Dead offers a new, pragmatic approach to social and cultural research and may indeed provide compassionate therapy for those of us coping with death.

Book Description
The Grateful Dead, one of the most meticulously documented rock bands, significantly influenced American music and popular culture. Its popularity has endured for three decades despite mixed critical reception. Jerry Garcia, thought of among many as a musical icon and spokesperson for more than one generation of fans, was often equally scorned by various critics. This collection of scholarly essays attests to the varied fields of interest the band and its followers, known as Deadheads, have affected, including psychology, law, and ethnomusicology. The contributions explore the diversity of the culture of fans, empirically analyze the music, apply literary criticism to the lyrics, and explore Dead-related philosophical and theological concepts — in other words, they are as eclectic as the myriad Grateful Dead fans themselves. Appealing to Grateful Dead scholars, fans, and collectors alike, these twenty-two essays are grouped by subject, and each essay includes a bibliography of resources for further research.

Book Description
A collection of short stories; crime, sci-fi, fantasy, realism, and satire by the Hans Christian Andersen of adult fiction. Questioning The Unknown. When we gaze up at the stars, the question that eludes Mankind, is there life on other worlds? Maybe on some far-away planet, there are other beings like ourselves also wondering if they too are alone, and maybe one day our paths may cross, and when it does, we may have to ask ourselves another question, do we embrace peace or go to war? Well, there's an old saying that comes to mind, seek, and you shall find. They may already be among us. Peace On Earth. The ghouls were miserable and scared. Their master was losing his evil influence, and it was driving them crazy with despair. It was a sad day indeed when there was peace on Earth. When people reunited, and there was love in the world. Races intermingled, and mixed babies were born. Nations got together, and there was one flag for us all. It was a very cold day in Hell. Jokers Are Wild. As he laid down his cards, four kings and a jack, the banker gave me a superior smile, then his greedy paws reached out for the pot, but I stopped him and turned over my cards and watched the joy drain out of his face as I showed him a straight flush. “Better luck next time.” Someone threw down a dollar and told the scarecrow, “And don't forget your bus-fare home.” Live And Die In New York. It was Christmas Eve, and the streets were alive with festive joy. Wise guys killed and got smoked, couples drank and got drunk, and the virgins got laid. But for the perverts, pimps, junkies, and whores, and the shyster lawyers that represented them all, and the cops that were tasked with upholding the law. It was just another day. And a variety of other stories with characters you would love, hate, and enjoy. The writer has a humorous mind. His dialogue and characters are sharp. A unique talent that doesn't waste words. An entertaining read...
