Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Whims of the Ages: The Moon the Mother of All Things; The Day of Doom and the Flight of the Gods The moon to the ancient world never ceased to be the land of mystery from which our religious whims and witch craft have been drawn. Everything which occurred, every sight and sound was an omen for evil or good from the crow ing of the cock to the muttering of fire upon the hearth, and all the antics of sun and moon were imitated and called divine mysteries, and all the trees, plants and fruits which had any likeness or affinity were dedicated to the moon for their virtues and healing properties. Astrology arose from the belief of a connection between the heavenly bodies and the life of man and the influence of the stars on human destiny, and in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries the astrologers were still in high repute. And all magic names, words, formulas, talismans and amulets but represent the talisman of the new moon, the great magician, cheat and trickster. Lunacy in ancient belief was due to the influence of the moon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Arthur s Whims written by Hervé Guibert and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Arthur's Whims" is the tale of "a modern saint," a love story born of a childhood dream of being "alone on a boat with a boy, a friend." Arthur and his beloved Bichon-a young man who, after drinking Arthur's tears, becomes pregnant with his child-drift through a stream of identities and circumstances: birdcatchers for a French taxidermist; sailors shipwrecked in an ice fortress; explorers of the Isles of Traitors, Babies, and Sadness; famous magicians in Oklahoma; religious and medical marvels. It is an anarchic, outrageous novel, in the tradition of Edgar Allan Poe and Comte de Lautréamont, now available in English for the first time in translation by Daniel Lupo. This edition includes Hervé Guibert's essay "The Bear," in which he compares his books to rooms in a house, writing: "Arthur's Whims would be the library of the house, and the bedroom of a child who will never be." It is "a true adventure novel in the tradition of the genre, or what I believed to be its tradition, with great journeys, disasters, shipwrecks, cataclysms."

Book excerpt: The Whims of the Ages: The Moon the Mother of All Things; the Day of Doom and the Flight of the Gods Authored by J. M. Woolsey: Superstitions are chronic complaints, deep rooted and die hard. The moon to the ancient world never ceased to be the land of mystery from which our religious whims and witchcraft have been drawn. Everything which occurred, every sight and sound was an omen for evil or good from the crowing of the cock to the muttering of fire upon the hearth, and all the antics of sun and moon were imitated and called divine mysteries, and all the trees, plants and fruits which had any likeness or affinity were dedicated to the moon for their virtues and healing properties. Astrology arose from the belief of a connection between the heavenly bodies and the life of man and the influence of the stars on human destiny, and in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries the astrologers were still in high repute. And all magic names, words, formulas, talismans and amulets but represent the talisman of the new moon, the great magician, cheat and trickster.

Download or read book Estrogens and Memory written by Karyn M. Frick and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A book about the influence of estrogens on memory would have been unthinkable as recently as 30 years ago. Although a few small studies in the late 1970's reported a beneficial effect of estrogens on memory in human women (Hackman and Galbraith, 1976; Fedor-Freybergh, 1977), examination of the role of estrogens in memory did not truly capture more widespread attention until the pioneering work of Barbara Sherwin and colleagues in 1988 and beyond. In her initial paper, Sherwin showed that bilateral removal of the ovaries (aka surgical menopause) led to impaired short-term and long-term memory, whereas treatment of surgically menopausal women with estradiol alone, testosterone alone, or estradiol plus testosterone prevented this decline (Sherwin, 1988). As a search for the terms "estrogen" and "memory" in PubMed illustrates, well over 2000 papers have been published on the subject of estrogens and memory in the ensuing decades. The vast majority of these studies have focused on the hippocampus, a bilateral medial temporal lobe structure essential for the formation of episodic memories, particularly those with spatial, contextual, relational, temporal, and recognition components (Olton et al., 1979; Morris et al., 1982; Kim and Fanselow, 1992; Squire, 1992; Cohen and Stackman, 2015; Tonegawa et al., 2015; Eichenbaum, 2017). Although various forms of learning and memory are mediated by numerous brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex, medial temporal lobe cortices, amygdala, striatum, and cerebellum, the hippocampus has received the lion's share of attention due to its central importance for episodic memory formation. Hippocampal damage produces profound retrograde amnesia for facts and events, as well as anterograde amnesia for new information and impairments in spatial navigation (Winocur, 1990; Anagnostaras et al., 2001; Clark et al., 2002; Gilboa et al., 2006). Hippocampal dysfunction in middle-aged and aged subjects is a primary contributor to age-related memory decline (Golumb et al., 1996; Grady et al., 2003; Apostolova et al., 2010; Burke and Barnes, 2010; Small et al., 2011; Yassa et al., 2011), and has also been implicated in the cognitive impairments observed in diseases such as schizophrenia and depression (Small et al., 2011; Nakahara et al., 2018; Santos et al., 2018; Ott et al., 2019). Moreover, the hippocampi of patients with Alzheimer's disease are substantially atrophied and burdened with copious amounts of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, the hallmark pathologies of this insidious disease (Hyman et al., 1984; Walsh and Selkoe, 2004; Selkoe and Hardy, 2016). As such, understanding how estrogens influence hippocampal functioning may provide important insights not only about the fundamental neurobiology of memory processes, but also into the etiology of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases"--

Soon after, three cops are gunned down. A multi-state manhunt is underway for a cop killer on the loose. And Dr. Tessa Thorpe, a veteran's counselor, is caught up in the chase. Donald Darfield, an African-American Iraqi war vet, war-time buddy of the beaten man, and one of Tessa's patients, is holed up in a mountain cabin. Tessa, acting on instinct, sets off to find him, but the swarm of law enforcement officers get there first, leading to Darfield's dramatic capture. Now, the only people separating him from the lethal needle of state justice are Tessa and ageing blind lawyer, Nathaniel Bodine. Can they untangle the web tightening around Darfield in time, when the press and the justice system are baying for revenge? Justice Gone is the first in a series of psychological thrillers involving Dr Tessa Thorpe, wrapped in the divisive issues of modern American society including police brutality and disenfranchised returning war veterans. N Lombardi Jr. is the author of compelling and heartfelt novel The Plain of Jars.

Book excerpt: The Third and Final book of the Secret Country Trilogy! Three things have the power to destroy the Secret Country: the Border Magic, the Crystal of Earth, and the whim of the dragon. The cousins Ted, Laura, Ruth, Patrick, and Ellen have faced the first two; now, summoned back to the Secret Country, they must face the third. The Country's most trusted counselors now know that the five are impostors, somehow thrust into the roles of royalty, but no one knows who has been playing with their destinies.

But getting to them, and speaking with them, is more complex and dangerous than it seems…. “Pamela Dean’s Secret Country books are required reading for anyone who loves fantasy. Get them!”—Will Shetterly, author of Dogland
