Rising from the Flames
Although medical advances have remarkably increased the survival rate of the severely burned, such patients still encounter physical and psychological pain and disability, disfigurement, and social rejection. Rising from the Flames examines the experience of the severely burned as survivors confront it, not just as a medical event but as a human ordeal involving social, cultural, psychological, and medical trauma. It discusses the causes of burns, the physiology of injury and healing, the forms of isolation burn patients endure, and the cultural meaning attached to burns and burned persons.

Steindrekinn
Skáldsagan Steindrekinn (e. The Gargoyle, 2008) er eftir Andrew Davidsson og birtist hér í íslenskri þýðingu Sölva Björns Sigurðssonar. Á myrkum vegi um miðja nótt hrapar bifreið í gljúfur. Illa brenndur sleppur ökumaðurinn lifandi frá slysinu. Hann þolir óbærilegar kvalir og sársaukafulla meðferð á sjúkrahúsinu í þeirri einu von að verða nægilega hraustur til að fremja sjálfsmorð. Þá birtist hin leyndardómsfulla Marianne Engel myndhöggvari. Hún fullyrðir að þau séu elskendur frá fyrra lífi, í Þýskalandi á miðöldum. Hann málaliði og leiguþý og hún skrifari og nunna í klaustrinu Engelthal. Marianne segir ævintýraríkar sögur frá fyrra lífi þeirra, m.a. frá Íslandi og Japan. Því meira sem þær fléttast saman, sljóvgast ruddaskapur hans og vantrú – brátt neyðist hann til að trúa hinu ótrúlega.
