Book excerpt: A beloved romance that offers a distinctive—and distinctly entertaining—take on Valentine’s Day. The Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre was supposed to be the end for Al Capone’s rivals. Instead, it turned out to be a second chance. For James Sheridan Rafferty, it’s turning out to be an eternity of second chances, one year after another. Assistant prosecutor Helen Emerson is plagued by a bad dream she can never quite remember, a nightmare that seems to be part of someone else’s life. Then a man who calls himself Rafferty comes knocking on her door… Just like he’s had every Valentine’s Day since 1929, Rafferty has fortyeight hours in which to fall in love and redeem himself. This former gangster thinks that Helen might just be the gal for him, but he has to find out who’s trying to kill her if either one of them is going to have any kind of chance at all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the early 1990s, a small group of "AIDS denialists," including a University of California professor named Peter Duesberg, argued against virtually the entire medical establishment's consensus that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was the cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Science thrives on such counterintuitive challenges, but there was no evidence for Duesberg's beliefs, which turned out to be baseless. Once researchers found HIV, doctors and public health officials were able to save countless lives through measures aimed at preventing its transmission"--
Download or read book The Poets on the Classics written by Stuart Gillespie and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ernst Cassirer occupies a unique space in Twentieth-century philosophy. A great liberal humanist, his multi-faceted work spans the history of philosophy, the philosophy of science, intellectual history, aesthetics, epistemology, the study of language and myth, and more. The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms is Cassirer's most important work. It was first published in German in 1923, the third and final volume appearing in 1929. In it Cassirer presents a radical new philosophical worldview - at once rich, creative and controversial - of human beings as fundamentally "symbolic animals", placing signs and systems of expression between themselves and the world. This major new translation, the first for over fifty years, brings Cassirer's magnum opus to a new generation of students and scholars. Volume 2: Mythical Thought considers the role of myth in human thought and expression. Cassirer examines the main features of morphology of myth before tackling the relationship between myth and self-consciousness. He argues that human beings' experience of the world around them is charged with affective and emotional significance, as desirable or hateful, comforting or threatening. It is this type of meaning which underlies mythical consciousness and explains its disregard for the distinction between appearance and reality. From mythical thought religion and art develop, Cassirer argues, making the mythical view of the world the earliest form of philosophical expression. Correcting important errors in previous English editions, this translation reflects the contributions of significant advances in Cassirer scholarship over the last twenty to thirty years. Each volume includes a new introduction and translator's notes by S. G. Lofts, a foreword by Peter Gordon, a glossary of key terms, and a thorough index.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Zodiac, Auto Focus, and Black Fire. SO CLOSE TO SHORE, SO FAR FROM FORTUNE. WITH THE DISCOVERY OF GOLD, THEY CAME. San Francisco, 1849. Some arrived by land, but most came by sea. From packet to clipper, the first steamers, and even a stolen paddlewheeler, ships of every kind poured in through the Golden Gate. Packed to the gills with passengers and bursting to the brim with valuable cargo, they crowded Yerba Buena Cove. The perfect harbor in every way except one fatal flaw—its shallow waters offered no passage to shore. Fever overtook even the heartiest of men. Passengers and crew alike jumped ship and swam ashore. Within sight of their prize destination, a thousand majestic vessels were left adrift. Each incapacitated vessel’s fate locked in by the next. Some dedicated captains remained aboard these derelict hulks, in a short time forming a fantastic floating city, Graveyard Harbor. Families, commerce, intrigue, and crime all thrived and died within its skeletal framework. Among them were captains held hostage by their own cargo, families that could not afford nor find housing on land, criminals hiding out from the law, and their pursuers hot on their heels. A LANDLOCKED CAPTAIN. A KILLER WHO LOOKED LIKE CHRIST. HIS UNFORTUNATE DOPPELGÄNGER. THE BLOODTHIRST OF SAN FRANCISCO’S FIRST VIGILANTE SOCIETY. AND THE TEXAS RANGER TURNED SAN FRANCISCO SHERIFF. WOULD CRIME, JUSTICE OR VIGILANTISM PREVAIL? Illustrations by the author.
