Book excerpt: Having a direct line to all the knowledge and power your Higher Self possesses is pretty awesome—until you’re forced through an interdimensional portal, that is. Life is pretty good now that Gina Palmer finally fits in with the locals in Edgemont, Alabama, and all their supernatural talents. As she tests the boundaries of her extraordinary connection to her Higher Self, her reignited lifetimes-long relationship with Ben Jackson is burning bright, she’s turned her art into a profitable side gig, and her friendships are flourishing. But her newfound happiness is threatened when she investigates the appearance of a strange woman in the window of a creepy old lamp store across the street from her mother’s café. She soon uncovers one of Edgemont’s deepest, darkest secrets—an old grudge against her that has garnered otherworldly attention. Gina’s curiosity launches her into a strange new world where her paranormal power is subdued, forcing her to rely on the kindness and wisdom of strangers and her own wits to survive and find a way home. While Ben, friends, and family risk their lives to bring her back, Gina must confront the demons of her past and face a life-or-death challenge that could grant her even greater supernatural strengths—and put an end to a cycle of destruction that began millennia ago. Downright Unearthly, the second book in the Secrets of Edgemont series, is a contemporary fantasy that features romance, mystery, humor—and a dash of Southern flavor.
Download or read book Medicine s 10 Greatest Discoveries written by Meyer Friedman and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1675, Antony van Leeuwenhoek, an unlearned haberdasher from Delft, placed a drop of rainwater under his microscope and detected thousands of tiny animals in it. Leeuwenhoek proceeded to examine the microscopic activity of his spittle, teeth plaque, and feces, and as the result of his findings the field of bacteriology was born. Some two hundred years later, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Wurzburg, invited his wife to his laboratory, asked her to place her hand on an unexposed photographic plate, turned on an electric current, and showed this terrified woman a picture of the bones of her hand. And so came the discovery of the X-ray. This absorbing book is the first to describe these and eight other monumental medical discoveries throughout history, bringing to life the scientific pioneers responsible for them and the excitement, frustrations, and jealousies that surrounded the final achievements. Two distinguished physicians, Meyer Friedman and Gerald W. Friedland, have drawn on their many years of experience as well as on that of world-renowned antiquarian book dealers, physician collectors of old and new medical publications, and medical school professors to single out these medical breakthroughs from thousands of candidates, and, in several cases, to provide information never before available. Their engrossing stories of the ten most significant discoveries will be read with enjoyment by anyone fascinated by the mysteries of medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “From her head down to her gnarly (no longer!) toes, Kathie Lee is pure dame. And she’s served up a cocktail of wit and wisdom with a decidedly salty rim!”—Meredith Vieira Just When I Thought I’d Dropped My Last Egg is Kathie Lee Gifford’s triumphant laugh-out-loud celebration of forging ahead with gusto, even long after we’re old enough to know better. Age, after all, isn’t a number, it’s a state of mind, and being fertile isn’t just about having babies, it’s about being passionate and creative. Writing with the candor of a friend who knows where the bodies are buried, Kathie Lee reveals the truth every woman of a certain age knows but won’t admit: that we love our kids every second of every day but are counting the minutes till they’re ready to go off to college, that even though gravity is a constant force, not all parts of our bodies droop at the same rate, and that life and show business share one simple rule: “Don’t sit by the phone and wait for a man or a job.” Full of warmth, humor, and down-to-earth wisdom, this wonderful book is a delectable read for grown-ups of all ages. Praise for Just When I Thought I’d Dropped My Last Egg “I’ve been through a couple of calamities with Kathie Lee and nobody handles them better. You could blow her up, cook her and hang her out to dry and she will still survive and have some laughs doing it.”—Regis Philbin “Kathie Lee has always entertained me with her humor, wry wit, and penchant for pinpointing all of our very human foibles with great accuracy and hilarity. Now she does it again. This charming memoir filled with amusing anecdotes about herself and her family, friends, and colleagues brought a smile to my face but also touched me. Her insight is as remarkable as she is.”—Barbara Taylor Bradford “Gifford dishes about everything.”—The Tampa Tribune “Fans will be delighted . . . by the book’s mix of earnest life lessons and self-conscious kookiness.”—Publishers Weekly “Outrageously funny . . . [Gifford’s] quirky sense of humor shines through.”—Wichita Falls Times Record News
