De verwoeste stad
Dramatische, personage-gedreven epische fantasie met een bespelen van horror en humor, voor volwassenen. De goden uitdagen is hun toorn uit te nodigen. Dus het is geschreven van Lachyla, de verwoeste stad, in de Codex van de Leeftijden. Maar wie leest codices? En wie gelooft de grote verhalen van de verhalenvertellers echt? Dagra doet het. Als het een verhaal over de goden is - zelfs een dode god - gelooft hij elk woord. Wanneer zijn vrijbuitersgilde een contract wordt aangeboden om de Dode landen over te steken en een begrafenisjuweel in de crypten van de Verwoeste Stad te vinden, wil Dagra er geen deel van uitmaken. Zijn metgezellen zijn niet ontmoedigd door de legende; voor hen is de onsc...

La città di sventura
La Città di Sventura è un epic fantasy oscuro con un pizzico di ironia nei personaggi e una spruzzata di orrore mischiati ad avventura e dramma, ambientato in un mondo riccamente dettagliato. Sfidare gli dei è provocare la loro collera. Così è scritto a proposito di Lachyla, la Città di Sventura, nel Codice delle Ere. Ma chi legge i codici? E chi crede davvero alle frottole dei Tessistorie? Dagra lo fa. Se è una storia che riguarda gli dei - persino nel caso di un dio morto - crede a ogni parola. Quando alla sua squadra di mercenari viene offerto un contratto per attraversare le Terre Morte e trovare un gioiello funerario nelle cripte della Città di Sventura, Dagra non vuole saperne....

The Blighted City
"To challenge the gods is to invite their wrath." So it is written of Lachyla, the Blighted City, in the Codex of the Ages. But who reads codices? And who really believes the tall stories of the Taleweavers? Dagra does. He was raised on such tales, and if it's anything to do with the gods - even a dead god - he believes every word. When his team of sellswords are offered a contract to cross the Deadlands in search of Lachyla, he wants no part of it. His companions aren't so daunted by the city's grim legend. To them, it's superstitious nonsense. Obtaining the burial jewel from the crypt of their client's ancestor could earn them the bounty of a lifetime and give their failing guild the reput...

Handbook of Medical Hallucinogens
This handbook reviews promising applications of psychedelics in treatment of such challenging psychiatric problems as posttraumatic stress disorder, major depression, substance use disorders, and end-of-life anxiety. Experts from multiple disciplines synthesize current knowledge on psilocybin, MDMA, ketamine, and other medical hallucinogens. The volume comprehensively examines these substances' neurobiological mechanisms, clinical effects, therapeutic potential, risks, and anthropological and historical contexts. Coverage ranges from basic science to practical clinical considerations, including patient screening and selection, dosages and routes of administration, how psychedelic-assisted sessions are structured and conducted, and management of adverse reactions.
The Neurology of Religion
Examines what can be learnt about the brain mechanisms underlying religious practice from studying people with neurological disorders.
Better Living Through Criticism: How to Think about Art, Pleasure, Beauty and Truth
Few could explain, let alone seek out, a career in criticism. Yet what A. O. Scott shows in Better Living Through Criticism is that we are, in fact, all critics: because critical thinking informs almost every aspect of artistic creation, of civil action, of interpersonal life. With penetrating insight and humour, Scott shows that while individual critics – himself included – can make mistakes and find flaws where they shouldn't, criticism as a discipline is one of the noblest, most creative and urgent activities. Using his own film criticism as a starting point – everything from an infamous dismissal of the international blockbuster The Avengers to his intense affection for Pixar's animated Ratatouille – Scott expands outwards, easily guiding readers through the complexities of Rilke and Shelley, the origins of Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones, the power of Marina Abramovic and 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' Scott shows that real criticism was and always will be the breath of fresh air that allows true creativity to thrive. As he puts it: ‘The time for criticism is always now, because the imperative to think clearly, never goes away.’
Dirty Birds
In late 2008, as the world's economy crumbles and Barack Obama ascends to the White House, the remarkably unremarkable Milton Ontario - not to be confused with Milton, Ontario - leaves his parents' basement in Middle-of-Nowhere, Saskatchewan, and sets forth to find fame, fortune, and love in the Euro-lite electric sexuality of Montreal; to bask in the endless twenty-something Millennial adolescence of the Plateau; to escape the infinite flatness of Saskatchewan and find his messiah - Leonard Cohen. Hilariously ironic and irreverent, in Dirty Birds, Morgan Murray generates a quest novel for the twenty-first century-a coming-of-age, rom-com, crime-farce thriller-where a hero's greatest foe is his own crippling mediocrity as he seeks purpose in art, money, power, crime, and sleeping in all day.
