Download or read book The Collectors of Lost Souls written by Warwick Anderson and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This riveting account of medical detective work traces the story of kuru, a fatal brain disease, and the pioneering scientists who spent decades searching for its cause and cure. Winner, William H. Welch Medal, American Association for the History of Medicine Winner, Ludwik Fleck Prize, Society for Social Studies of Science Winner, General History Award, New South Wales Premier's History Awards When whites first encountered the Fore people in the isolated highlands of colonial New Guinea during the 1940s and 1950s, they found a people in the grip of a bizarre epidemic. Women and children succumbed to muscle weakness, uncontrollable tremors, and lack of coordination, until death inevitably supervened. Facing extinction, the Fore attributed their unique and terrifying affliction to a particularly malign form of sorcery. In The Collectors of Lost Souls, Warwick Anderson tells the story of the resilience of the Fore through this devastating plague, their transformation into modern people, and their compelling attraction for a throng of eccentric and adventurous scientists and anthropologists. Battling competing scientists and the colonial authorities, the brilliant and troubled American doctor D. Carleton Gajdusek determined that the cause of the epidemic—kuru—was a new and mysterious agent of infection, which he called a slow virus (now called a prion). Anthropologists and epidemiologists soon realized that the Fore practice of eating their loved ones after death had spread the slow virus. Though the Fore were never convinced, Gajdusek received the Nobel Prize for his discovery. Now revised and updated, the book includes an extensive new afterword that situates its impact within the fields of science and technology studies and the history of science. Additionally, the author now reflects on his long engagement with the scientists and the people afflicted, describing what has happened to them since the end of kuru. This astonishing story links first-contact encounters in New Guinea with laboratory experiments in Bethesda, Maryland; sorcery with science; cannibalism with compassion; and slow viruses with infectious proteins, reshaping our understanding of what it means to do science.
Download or read book Soul Collector Damion written by J. Ahner and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-25 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come with me to a world that when you die, your soul cannot pass on until it is extracted by the soul collectors-Demons created from the greatest evil, the dark lord, whose only purpose of existence is to collect the souls of the dead. Once a soul is collected, soul collectors will help the soul traverse to the afterlife. They come to you, like reapers of death when your time is coming to an end. By using special blue stones, they possess, created from the scorching obsidian terrain of hell mixed with powerful demonic blood, they extract the soul from a body and carry it within a special bag where the soul will remain until it is sent to the "other side" to face judgment. However, if a soul isn't extracted, it is in danger of being devoured by soul eaters, creatures resembling a motley array of beasts and objects that hunt, hungrily, the souls of the living and of the dead. No one knows where they came from, only that they disrupt the balance of the cycle of souls. It is left to the soul collector's discretion whether or not to kill them and retrieve the souls they consume. For it is the duty of a soul collector as a warrior to guard the innocent, destroy the wicked, and end the suffering. But a soul collector's soul is incapable of feeling love or compassion for another being, for their hearts were ripped from their chests to prevent such emotions from clouding their judgment. They have no name and are simply referred to as "demons" or "soul collectors," because they are outcasts, hated by all mortals; simply because of their destiny. They are looked upon as disgusting vile creatures, deserving not the affection of the very people they are sworn to protect. Denied by the people they protect, they hold true, a hatred for all, except their own kind, and even then they are very selective. Until one woman's kindness changed everything.
