Autor: Ally Breedlove , Ken Abraham

Número de Páginas: 350

AN INSPIRATIONAL AND HEARTRENDING MEMOIR ABOUT BEN BREEDLOVE, WHO SHARED HIS NEAR-DEATHEXPERIENCES AND VISIONS OF HEAVEN IN HIS VIRAL VIDEOS—WRITTEN BY HIS SISTER, ALLY BREEDLOVE. On Christmas Day 2011, Ben Breedlove’s soul went to heaven. But it wasn’t his first time there. Ben suffered from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a heart condition that posed a constant risk of sudden death. His condition, a thickening of the heart muscle, worsened over time, leaving him weak and fatigued. It also led Ben to some close calls medically, in particular cardiac arrest on four separate occasions, during which he felt the presence of angels and experienced the perfect peace of heaven. Precocious and warm, Ben was close with his family and two siblings, and forged deep relationships with his friends. He loved to wakeboard and wake surf, and he had dreams of visiting foreign countries around the world. He created the YouTube channels TotalRandomness512 and BreedloveTV, and co-created the channel OurAdvice4You, where he posted videos about everything from dating advice for girls to more serious topics like his spirituality and heart condition. Unbeknownst to his parents and family, Ben...

El día de Navidad de 2011, el alma de Ben Breedlove se fue al cielo. Pero no era la primera vez que iba allí. Ben sufría de cardiomiopatía hipertrófica (CMH), una afección cardiaca que lo mantuvo en riesgo constante de muerte súbita. En cuatro ocasiones Ben entró en paro cardiaco, y durante estas experiencias experimentó la presencia de ángeles y la incomprensible paz del cielo. Ben creó un video de dos partes llamado Esta es mi historia, en el que utilizó tarjetas para hablarle al mundo de sus experiencias cercanas a la muerte y de su llamado para ir al cielo. Cuando murió, siete días más tarde, a la corta edad de dieciocho años, su familia y el resto del mundo se encontraron por casualidad con estos videos. El mundo respondió de manera abrumadoramente positiva al mensaje compartido por Ben. La visión que Ben tuvo del cielo fue su regalo para su familia y para el mundo. Y ahora este es el regalo que la familia Breedlove nos hace a todos: una profunda mirada a la vida y a las experiencias cercanas a la muerte de Ben, a la fortaleza y la fe de un joven y, por último, a la esperanza del cielo.

Imagine Heaven

Autor: John Burke

Número de Páginas: 351

It's obvious from the bookshelves and the big screen that heaven is on everyone's mind. All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Bestselling author John Burke is no exception. For decades, he has been studying accounts of people who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). While not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of survivors clearly point to the God of the Bible and the exhilarating picture of heaven he promises. Imagine Heaven is an inspirational journey through the Bible's picture of heaven, colored in with the real-life stories of heaven's wonders. Burke compares gripping stories of NDEs to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will it look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets? This book will propel readers into an experience that will forever change their view of the life to come and the way they live life today. It also tackles the tough questions of heavenly reward and hellish NDEs. Anyone interested in NDEs or longing to imagine heaven more clearly will...

Write in Tune: Contemporary Music in Fiction

Autor: Erich Hertz , Jeffrey Roessner

Número de Páginas: 282

Contemporary popular music provides the soundtrack for a host of recent novels, but little critical attention has been paid to the intersection of these important art forms. Write in Tune addresses this gap by offering the first full-length study of the relationship between recent music and fiction. With essays from an array of international scholars, the collection focuses on how writers weave rock, punk, and jazz into their narratives, both to develop characters and themes and to investigate various fan and celebrity cultures surrounding contemporary music. Write in Tune covers major writers from America and England, including Don DeLillo, Jonathan Franzen, Zadie Smith, and Jim Crace. But it also explores how popular music culture is reflected in postcolonial, Latino, and Australian fiction. Ultimately, the book brings critical awareness to the power of music in shaping contemporary culture, and offers new perspectives on central issues of gender, race, and national identity.

On the Camera Arts and Consecutive Matters

Autor: Hollis Frampton

Número de Páginas: 353

The collected writings of artist and filmmaker Hollis Frampton, including all the essays from the long-unavailable Circles of Confusion along with rare additional material. As Hollis Frampton's photographs and celebrated experimental films were testing the boundaries of “the camera arts” in the 1960s and 1970s, his provocative and highly literate writings were attempting to establish an intellectually resonant form of discourse for these critically underexplored fields. It was a time when artists working in diverse disciplines were beginning to pick up cameras and produce films and videotapes, well before these practices were understood or embraced by institutions of contemporary art. This collection of Frampton's writings presents his critical essays (many written for Artforum and October) along with additional material, including lectures, correspondence, interviews, and production notes and scripts. It replaces—and supersedes—the long-unavailable Circles of Confusion, published in 1983. Frampton ranged widely over the visual arts in his writing, and the texts in this collection display his unique approaches to photography, film, and video, as well as the plastic and...

Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegenerative Diseases

Autor: Marie-francoise Chesselet

Número de Páginas: 416

With the unprecedented identification of new mutation mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases and the emergence of common mechanisms among diseases that were once considered unrelated, neurobiologists are poised for the development of new therapies based on high throughput screenings and a better understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms leading to neurodegeneration. In Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegenerative Diseases, Marie-Francoise Chesselet, MD, PhD, and a panel of leading researchers and neurologists from industry and academia critically review the most recent advances from different yet complementary points of view. Focusing on Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and CAG triplet repeat diseases, the authors show how studies of cellular and genetically engineered animal models have enhanced our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases and may lead to the development of new therapeutics. Topics include the role of Ab toxicity, glial cells, and inflammation in Alzheimer's disease; the formation of abnormal protein fragments across several diseases, the impact of dopamine and mitochondrial dysfunction on neurodegeneration; and the potential...

Reproductive Neuroendocrinology and Social Behavior

Autor: Ishwar S. Parhar , Tomoko Soga , Sonoko Ogawa

Número de Páginas: 315

Anti-social behaviors and social deficits induced mental disorders are critical problems in our society today. Social behaviors and interactions are shaped by experience, hereditary components (genes, hormones and neuropeptides) and environmental factors (photoperiods and metabolic signals). In addition to the classical gonadotropin-releasing hormone, RFamide peptides, kisspeptin and gonadotropin-inhibiting hormone are emerging as important regulators of the reproductive axis. These neuropeptides are evolutionarily conserved and are regulated by environmental factors. In this Research Topic, we advocate more recent advances in reproductive neuropeptides and sex steroids in the domains of social behavior including sexual and parental behavior, aggression, stress and anxiety. Using multiple species model, we also review how genes and the neuroendocrine system interact at the cell and organismic levels to contribute to social behavior in particular the epigenetic genomic changes caused by early life environment. We provide comprehensive insights of distinct neural networks and how cellular and molecular events in the brain regulate social behavior from a comparative perspective.

Before Creation, Planet Life, After Life

Autor: Donzella Ervin

Número de Páginas: 105

The purpose of this book, “Before Creation, Planet Life, After Life,” is to cause readers, especially Christians, to search for a broader perspective of Scriptures referencing man’s existence before and after death. I hope this work will initiate more thought as to when, where, and how we fit into God’s mind and final plans for us. If we embark upon this search looking at Scripture through traditional lenses, we will miss seeing the things of God, by the faith of God. He is the one who invited us saying, “If any man lacks wisdom (knowledge on any subject), let him ask of God who gives to all men liberally (holds nothing back from us)!” Yet, there are many church leaders who warn their parishioners against asking God questions concerning those things which plague their souls, even though the book of Job is a good example that God is not intimidated by our questions. Considering Job’s experience and reverence for God, while searching for answers, I believe the result of our seeking and asking will bring us the comfort and steadfastness that we so desperately need in our times of sorrow and disconnectedness. It may give us that “blessed assurance” that we have been, ...

Ojos azules

Número de Páginas: 180

Toni Morrison, ganadora del Premio Nobel de Literatura 1993, parte de la realidad de una chiquilla desgraciada para tratar temas como el concepto de belleza impuesto, la voz femenina o la infancia truncada, y lo consigue con una historia dura y deliciosa al mismo tiempo. Pecola es una niña pequeña que vive con sus padres y tiene una prima que se llama Claudia. Le gustan las muñecas y las caléndulas, que no le gustan a nadie excepto a ella. Pecola es negra y cree que es fea porque no se parece a Shirley Temple. Y tiene un truco para desaparecer cuando sus padres se pelean o su padre la molesta por las noches: piensa que tiene unos preciosos ojos azules, que todo el mundo admira su belleza y que las otras niñas la envidian. Pero ese sueño nunca se convertirá en realidad y Pecola seguirá atrapada en la triste vida que le ha tocado en suerte. Reseñas: «Una exploración de la raza y el género de la ganadora del Nobel, todo un clásico estadounidense.

Bedouin Ethnobotany

Autor: James P. Mandaville

Número de Páginas: 419

A Bedouin asking a fellow tribesman about grazing conditions in other parts of the country says first simply, ÒFih hayah?Ó or ÒIs there life?Ó A desert ArabÕs knowledge of the sparse vegetation is tied directly to his life and livelihood. Bedouin Ethnobotany offers the first detailed study of plant uses among the Najdi ArabicÐspeaking tribal peoples of eastern Saudi Arabia. It also makes a major contribution to the larger project of ethnobotany by describing aspects of a nomadic peoplesÕ conceptual relationships with the plants of their homeland. The modern theoretical basis for studies of the folk classification and nomenclature of plants was developed from accounts of peoples who were small-scale agriculturists and, to a lesser extent, hunter-gatherers. This book fills a major gap by extending such study into the world of the nomadic pastoralist and exploring the extent to which these patterns are valid for another major subsistence type. James P. Mandaville, an Arabic speaker who lived in Saudi Arabia for many years, focuses first on the role of plants in Bedouin life, explaining their uses for livestock forage, firewood, medicinals, food, and dyestuffs, and examining...

Biologie de l'homosexualité

Autor: Jacques Balthazart

Número de Páginas: 305

Si pour le sens commun l'homosexualité semble relever d'un choix, pour tous les professionnels, tant biologistes que psychologues, l'orientation sexuelle n'en est pas un. II n'est que d'entendre le témoignage des hommes et des femmes qui disent la certitude du sens de leur attirance sexuelle ou de la découverte qu'ils en ont fait à un moment donné de leur vie. Les hypothèses psychanalytiques dominantes n'expliquent pas à elles seules l'homosexualité, et n'en ont jamais fait de démonstration scientifique. Le livre de Jacques Balthazart a le mérite de faire un point très complet sur des notions peu connues de la biologie de l'orientation sexuelle qui entrent à part entière dans l'explication des homosexualités, car l'homosexualité ne peut se réduire ni à une forme particulière ni à une seule hypothèse explicative. Ce livre très rigoureux et largement documenté apporte une contribution essentielle à la connaissance des bases biologiques de l'orientation sexuelle et de l'homosexualité. II n'a aucun équivalent en langue française. II est d'une lecture indispensable pour tous les professionnels de la psychiatrie, de la psychologie, de la sexologie.
