Mister
LONDRA, 2019. Maxim Trevelyan este atrăgător, bogat È™i cu relaÅ£ii în lumea aristocraÅ£iei. N-a trebuit să muncească niciodată È™i rareori i s-a întâmplat să doarmă singur. Toate astea se schimbă când, în urma unei tragedii, Maxim moÈ™teneÈ™te nu doar titlul nobiliar È™i averea familiei, ci È™i o mare responsabilitate — pentru care nu este deloc pregătit. Dar provocarea cea mai mare este să lupte cu atracÅ£ia nebănuită pentru o tânără enigmatică abia ajunsă în Anglia, singura ei posesiune fiind un trecut tulbure È™i periculos. Maxim descoperă treptat că fata îi inspiră o iubire cum n-a mai simÅ£it vreodată. Dar poate el s-o protejeze de primejdia care o ameninÅ...
Saracens, Demons, & Jews
These images, which reached a broad and socially varied audience across Western Europe, appeared in virtually all artistic media, including illuminated manuscripts, stained glass, sculpture, metalwork, and tapestry.".

Stories of Sickness
Our personalities and our identities are intimately bound up with the stories that we tell to organize and to make sense of our lives. To understand the human meaning of illness, we therefore must turn to the stories we tell about illness, suffering, and medical care. Stories of Sickness explores the many dimensions of what illness means to the sufferers and to those around them, drawing on depictions of illness in great works of literature and in nonfiction accounts. The exploration is primarily philosophical but incorporates approaches from literature and from the medical social sciences. When it was first published in 1987, Stories of Sickness helped to inaugurate a renewed interest in th...
The Cry of the Wolf
It was a mistake for Ben to tell the Hunter that there were still wolves in Surrey. For the Hunter was a fanatic, always on the lookout for unusual prey. Driven by an ambition to wipe out the last English wolves, the Hunter set out on a savage quest. But what happens when the Hunter becomes the hunted?
Dissection
This is a startling window into the education of American doctors in the late 19th and early 20th centuries-on both a visceral level and for its revealing cultural record. Cringe-worthy shots of medical students-bare-handed gentlemen and a few ladies in street clothes show off their scalpels, saws and textbooks-while their cadavers, mostly poor and black, are awkwardly posed, and exposed. In one stunning shot, a black woman looks out from behind the young students. "What are we to make of an African-American woman, standing, broom handle in hand, behind the dissection table, her gaze fixed on the camera?" the authors ask. More importantly, they conclude, the photo is now drawn "out of the sh...
The Catastrophic History of You and Me
If I'd known right then that this was the kid who would grow up to break my heart beyond repair, maybe I would've stayed upstairs on the phone with Tess. Maybe I would've gone to bed early. But instead I shrugged and said something really genius like 'Um, whatever'. And proceeded to fall totally, madly, crazy in love.
