Download or read book A Match for Doctor Koekentapp written by Allen Kayle and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2011-06-28 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: And now for something completely different on the South African book scene: a slapstick Jewish comedy set in the Joburg northern suburbs. GP Dr Koekentapp is called to the Levy home to attend to a Mr Levy's kidney stone. Mrs Levy sets her eyes on the young doctor, spots the perfect marriage material for her daughter Sylvia and is delighted when the two of them are immediately attracted. But to her horror, Mrs Levy discovers that Dr Koekentapp is not Jewish. The tale complicates, involves her scheming and plotting to convert him to Judaism (witness the scene where he is circumsised to the accompaniment of a Scottish pipe band), the bizarre roles played by her family and friends to achieve this end, and the frenetic interference and bewildering hitches in his life and medical practice. Broadly funny and ribald comedy that delights in lewd word plays and allusions in which goy and Jewry alike will find common purpose. Is this another Tom Sharpe?
Download or read book The Eagle Strikes written by John P. Kincaid and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-05-29 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eagle Strikes weaves terrorism, conflict, libido, bigotry, technology, and suspense into a fact-filled fictitious novel. When The Eagle set his goal of Universal Freedom for all Mankind, he expected objection and misunderstanding, but he also knew people tired of accepting corruption in government as a way of life. A prominent and catastrophic event showing total lack of government control could easily incite rebellion. He would provide that event, and another step toward a second Golden Age of Freedom would be complete. An exceptionally well structured thriller, full of suspense, and believable. Both the climax and resolution are highly satisfying.

Why does your brain need other people? How is technology poised to change what it means to be human? In the course of his investigations, Eagleman guides us through the world of extreme sports, criminal justice, facial expressions, genocide, brain surgery, gut feelings, robotics, and the search for immortality.

Download or read book Livewired written by David Eagleman and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eagleman renders the secrets of the brain’s adaptability into a truly compelling page-turner.” —Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner “Livewired reads wonderfully like what a book would be if it were written by Oliver Sacks and William Gibson, sitting on Carl Sagan’s front lawn.” —The Wall Street Journal What does drug withdrawal have in common with a broken heart? Why is the enemy of memory not time but other memories? How can a blind person learn to see with her tongue, or a deaf person learn to hear with his skin? Why did many people in the 1980s mistakenly perceive book pages to be slightly red in color? Why is the world’s best archer armless? Might we someday control a robot with our thoughts, just as we do our fingers and toes? Why do we dream at night, and what does that have to do with the rotation of the Earth? The answers to these questions are right behind our eyes. The greatest technology we have ever discovered on our planet is the three-pound organ carried in the vault of the skull. This book is not simply about what the brain is; it is about what it does. The magic of the brain is not found in the parts it’s made of but in the way those parts unceasingly reweave themselves in an electric, living fabric. In Livewired, you will surf the leading edge of neuroscience atop the anecdotes and metaphors that have made David Eagleman one of the best scientific translators of our generation. Covering decades of research to the present day, Livewired also presents new discoveries from Eagleman’s own laboratory, from synesthesia to dreaming to wearable neurotech devices that revolutionize how we think about the senses.

Download or read book The Heart of a Champion written by Bo Schembechler and published by Spry Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bo Schembechler was a competitor. His life defined the word as appropriately as any other. He played football at Miami University (Ohio) under the legendary Woody Hayes and was eventually hired by Hayes at Ohio State. Perhaps it was there, working under Hayes, that Bo Schembechler learned the traits of integrity and hard work that would serve him so well as the head coach at Michigan and in his 37-year battle with heart disease. The fiercely competitive Schembechler defeated his mentor in his very first season at Michigan and the rivalry between two friends became one of the greatest in all of sport. He also defeated a myriad of health problems with his classic preparation and game-day intensity for nearly four decades. The Heart of a Champion is Bo's way of sharing his game plan to fight our nation's #1 killer—cardiovascular disease—and to inspire others fighting for their lives to win. Bo battled high blood pressure, arthrosclerosis, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and heart failure. He proved that a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease need not be a death sentence if you can build a team to help you put a game plan together to beat it. As you read this book, you will see how one man chose to beat all the odds, much longer than anyone could have imagined. You can learn how to fight our nation's #1 killer and share it with loved ones who may need a game plan of their own. Bo's cardiologist, Dr. Kim Eagle, gives the reader a practical and informative overview of numerous health problems and how to fight them. Bo's friends and colleagues provide an intimate perspective on his life—on and off the field—and the University of Michigan program he loved so dearly.

Then Aunt Patty’s fishing boat disappears from the docks. When she and Djuna discover it set adrift along the rocky coast, Djuna tries to save the ship, but it has been smashed to bits by the waves. Djuna is certain that what happened to the Patagonia was no accident. The old ship was murdered—and he will find out who did it.

Download or read book The Eagle s Way written by Dr. Peter Johnston and published by BalboaPress. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Eagle’s Way: The Importance of Love in Healthcare, the author, a general practitioner, looks back at the changes he has seen over fifty years of study and practice of medicine. Remarkable advances in medicine and surgery have been accompanied by the growth of alternative medicine. He sees the emergence of holistic/integrative medicine as an important development in the evolution of healthcare. In this guide, he explores the principles and philosophies of alternative medicine and its complementary relationship with traditional medicine. The underlying principle of orthodox medicine is fighting disease; in contrast, the underlying principle of alternative medicine is embracing disease, an approach consistent with the new paradigm of unity. Both principles are varied yet powerful. He believes that maintenance of scientific standards dictates that most alternative therapies will remain outside the parameters of orthodox medicine but will be complementary to it. Conventional medicine is intellectual, sensory, head-based, and extraverted in its approach, whereas alternative medicine, especially the new psychotherapies, tends to be intuitive, heartbased, and introverted. The latter tends to go with the flow rather than have set standards of treatment. Practitioners of holistic and integrative medicine using both systems are often viewed as the healers of the future. While both systems can offer help to the patient, the most powerful force in healing remains unconditional love in the form of nonjudgmental respect, care, trust, and compassion. Dr. Johnston presents this as the central core of holistic and integrative medicine in The Eagle’s Way.
