 Life and Death in Healthcare Ethics: A Short Introduction By Helen Watt 2000 | 112 Pages | ISBN: 0415215730 | PDF | 2 MB In a world of rapid technological advances, the moral issues raised by life and death choices in healthcare remain obscure. Life and Death in Healthcare Ethics provides a concise, thoughtful and extremely accessible guide to these moral issues. Helen Watt examines, using real-life cases, the range of choices taken by healthcare professionals, patients and clients which lead to the shortening of life. The topics looked at include: euthanasia and withdrawal of treatment; the persistent vegetative state; abortion; IVF and cloning; and life-saving treatment of pregnant women.  Life Review: The Process of Knowing Yourself By Jeff and Christina Garland 2001 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 0415216559 | PDF | 2 MB How can understanding our past help us face the future? The key to gaining awareness of the present and preparing for the future lies in our understanding of the past, yet there is little coverage of this topic in the existing psychology and counselling literature. How can people improve themselves by greater self-knowledge? Jeff and Christina Garland break new ground in making a straightforward presentation of the theory and practice of the everyday process of life review, which is atherapeutic approach for helping clients make sense of their past, and can be used to help change undesirable behaviour and plan for the future. The theory and structure of the life review process are examined, and clinical examples of how it works in practice are given; this includes interviews both with "narrators" (people engaged in life review) and "listeners" (health and social care professionals). These examples demonstrate how professionals can use life review to help their clients overcome difficulties in their lives and face the future with confidence. Life Review will appeal to trainees and practitioners in occupational, developmental, clinical and health psychology, social work, counselling, psychotherapy and nursing.  Life Lessons From The Deep Voice Man (Fluff-Free, Self-Help Series) by Luke Jean-Louis English | March 29, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0F2ZCNCN4 | 133 pages | EPUB | 1.93 Mb Warning! This book's content is so potent; it will swiftly alter your life. You will learn:  Iantaffi, "Life Isn't Binary" English | ISBN: 1785924796 | 2020 | 240 pages | AZW3 | 541 KB 'Barker and Iantaffi have written the book we all need for this moment in time.' - CN Lester  Life In The Day by Hunter Davies English | April 19, 2018 | ISBN: 1471161315 | 384 pages | EPUB | 35 Mb Hunter Davies' childhood lived amongst the post-war dirt and grime of Carlisle was immediately hailed as a classic memoir from one of Britain's foremost columnists of the past half century. The Co-op's Got Bananas! left our protagonist at the cusp of working for one of the world's greatest newspapers - The Sunday Times. In this much-anticipated sequel, Hunter now looks back across five decades of successful writing to reflect on his colourful memories of the living in London during the height of the Swinging Sixties, becoming editor of Britain's first colour weekend supplement The Sunday Times magazine; befriending the Beatles; and interviewing (and partying with) the biggest names in television, film and theatre of the day. Hunter brings the story full circle to reflect on his years spent with the love of his life - the bestselling writer Margaret Forster, who sadly passed away in February 2016. This will not only be a colourful and enjoyable memoir of what it was like to be at the epicentre of Britain's artistic heart, but also an emotional, heart-felt tribute to family, friends and colleagues. For those captivated by The Co-op's Got Bananas!, this sequel is a must read.  Life Before Brian English | 18 July 2025 | ASIN: B0FK7VQ795 | 102 pages | EPUB (True) | 46.04 KB Before books, before the Prophets-there was panic, poultry, and a very confused Seal. Welcome to Life Before Brian, a riotous spiral of sketches set in 6000 BC, where a rag‑tag clan of proto‑philosophers keeps tripping over the universe's first self‑help manual: the Emerald Tablet. Between goat‑powered audits, feather‑licensing fiascos, and a duck who might (or might not) be Thoth, these star‑eyed villagers will prove one truth beyond doubt: if you can't yet spell then "cosmic alignment" is likely to read as "comic mis‑alignment." Part irreverent history, part Monty‑Python‑meets‑Joseph‑Campbell, this glyphostrophic romp turns mythic recursion into slapstick revelation. Each sketch descends into symbolic chaos-only to ricochet back in unexpected transcendence. By the time the Seal finally opens (while everyone's busy dancing), you'll be laughing too hard to notice your own heart has grown a spiral. Perfect for fans of satirical epics, ancient mysteries, and anyone who's ever tried to follow instructions carved on a cave wall. Decode the forgotten technology. Misplace your beliefs. Return lighter-preferably before the goat unionizes.  Camille Serchuk, "Lies of the Land: Painted Maps in Late Medieval and Early Modern France" English | ISBN: 0271097736 | 2025 | 234 pages | MOBI | 13 MB Lies of the Land examines the often-overlooked artistic roots of mapmaking practice in early modern France, offering an original perspective on discourses of accuracy and their relationship to the pictorial origins of modern mapmaking.  Lidia's The Art of Pasta: An Italian Cookbook by Lidia Matticchio Bastianich, Tanya Bastianich Manuali English | October 14, 2025 | ISBN: 0593537009 | 288 pages | MOBI | 55 Mb The ultimate pasta cookbook; 100+ authentic Italian recipes, from the bestselling author, television icon, and "doyenne of Italian cooking" (The New York Times).  Libya and the West: What Everyone Needs to Know® by Peter L. Hahn English | May 1, 2025 | ISBN: 0190223022 | 312 pages | PDF | 4.92 Mb Libya and the West: What Everyone Needs to Know® is a welcome update to the literature on Western diplomatic relations with Libya. It specifically analyzes the complicated relationships that Italy, Britain, the United States, and France developed with Libya beginning in the 1910s. On the basis of a wide range of primary and secondary sources, it offers insights into the political and socio-economic conditions within Libya that concerned Western leaders and shaped their policies. Among the crucial episodes that this book embraces are fascist Italy's military conquest and colonization of Libya; the expulsion of Axis armies from Libya and other north African states during World War II; the enthronement of King Idris in 1951; the discovery of oil in Libya in 1959. It explains the seizure of power by Muammar Qaddafi in 1969; the low-intensity military conflict between the United States and Libya in the 1980s; the Western response to Libyan acts of terrorism, including the murder of a British police officer in London in 1984 and the downing of Pan Am flight 103 in 1988; the enduring turmoil sparked by the Arab Spring in 2011; the decision by NATO powers to intervene militarily in the Libyan civil war to ensure the downfall of the Qaddafi regime; and the murder of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens at Benghazi in 2012.  Libraries, Translations, and 'Canonic' Texts: The Septuagint, Aquila and Ben Sira in the Jewish and Christian Traditions (Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism) By Giuseppe Veltri 2006 | 291 Pages | ISBN: 9004149937 | PDF | 1 MB The book deals with the field of decanonization of ancient traditions by the technique of deconstructing their original context; in particular: the process of canonization of the Greek Torah in Jewish-Hellenistic and Christian tradition and its decanonization in Rabbinic literature; the use and abuse of the translation(s) of Aquila in Patristic and Rabbinic literature and the substitution of Aquila by Onkelos in Babylonian academies; the decanonization of the book of Ben Sira in Rabbinic literature. On the basis of his analysis, the author concludes that, if a canon is the ability of a text to produce and authorize commentary deconstructing its original context by generalization, de-canonization is the inverse way of contextualizing a 'canonical' text by reconstructing the supposed original context. |
