Book excerpt: Twenty years ago, Reaper of Souls Kassidy Simmons battled Azra-El, the Angel of Death and won-or so she thought. Now, a number of strange and unexplained deaths are afflicting Kassidy's quiet New York town. She wishes she didn't care. But she does. Her empathic abilities are expanding beyond her control, and the intense emotions are tearing apart her relationships. They're also degrading the magical wards put in place to protect her from other Reapers and the even deadlier Wraiths-onyx-eyed henchmen of Azra-El. Allied with her longtime mentor and a college professor with ties to her past, Kassidy learns that the untimely deaths are regenerating Azra-El, and that the only way to stop him is with the Scythe of Cronus, the legendary weapon of the God of Death. To save her loved ones and reset the natural order, Kassidy must journey home and confront a past she's been running from for two decades. She'll face-off with enemies, old and new, and through a haze of fear and addiction, Kassidy will learn the secrets of her heritage, and challenge head on the one being she fears most-herself.

At the time of his murder, King was a polarizing figure -- scorned by many white Americans, worshipped by some African Americans and liberal whites, and deemed irrelevant by many black youth. In The Heavens Might Crack, historian Jason Sokol traces the diverse responses, both in America and throughout the world, to King's death. Whether celebrating or mourning, most agreed that the final flicker of hope for a multiracial America had been extinguished. A deeply moving account of a country coming to terms with an act of shocking violence, The Heavens Might Crack is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand America's fraught racial past and present.

Book excerpt: In the late spring of 1992, poet Rachel Hadas's mother died of cancer. Six weeks later, a close friend died of AIDS. The Double Legacy is a moving sequence of essays on the aftermath of these deaths in Hadas's life. A busy teacher and writer, wife and mother, daughter and friend, Hadas found her life dominated first by the two terminal illnesses of those beloved people and then by their two deaths - deaths startlingly close together in time and space. These experiences, which infused her thoughts and dreams, quickly became and for some time remained central to her writing. Interweaving her emotions with wide-ranging literary references, Hadas explores in The Double Legacy the process of mourning, the changing faces of grief, and the ways in which she incorporates the memories of her mother and friend into herself. Without relying on religious tradition, The Double Legacy is a spiritual book. It is also humane, harrowing, poetic, and ultimately uplifting.
Download or read book Family Life Trauma and Loss in the Twentieth Century written by Carol Komaromy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses personal memoir to examine links between private trauma and the socio-cultural approach to death and memory developed within Death Studies. The authors, two key Death Studies scholars, tell the stories that constitute their family lives. Each bears witness to the experiences of men who were either killed or traumatised during World War One and World War Two and shows the ongoing implications of these events for those left behind. The book illustrates how the rich oral history and material culture legacy bequeathed by these wars raises issues for everyone alive today. Belonging to a generation who grew up in the shadow of war, Komaromy and Hockey ask how we can best convey unimaginable events to later generations, and what practical, moral and ethical demands this brings. Family Life, Trauma and Loss in the Twentieth Century will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines including Death Studies, Military History, Research Methods, Family History, the Sociology of the Family and Life Writing.

Download or read book Defining Death written by Robert M. Veatch and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New technologies and medical treatments have complicated questions such as how to determine the moment when someone has died. The result is a failure to establish consensus on the definition of death and the criteria by which the moment of death is determined. This creates confusion and disagreement not only among medical, legal, and insurance professionals but also within families faced with difficult decisions concerning their loved ones. Distinguished bioethicists Robert M. Veatch and Lainie F. Ross argue that the definition of death is not a scientific question but a social one rooted in religious, philosophical, and social beliefs. Drawing on history and recent court cases, the authors detail three potential definitions of death -- the whole-brain concept; the circulatory, or somatic, concept; and the higher-brain concept. Because no one definition of death commands majority support, it creates a major public policy problem. The authors cede that society needs a default definition to proceed in certain cases, like those involving organ transplantation. But they also argue the decision-making process must give individuals the space to choose among plausible definitions of death according to personal beliefs. Taken in part from the authors' latest edition of their groundbreaking work on transplantation ethics, Defining Death is an indispensable guide for professionals in medicine, law, insurance, public policy, theology, and philosophy as well as lay people trying to decide when they want to be treated as dead.
