Zac and Mia
by A. J. BettsWinner of the 2012 Australian Text Prize "When I was little I believed in Jesus and Santa, spontaneous combustion, and the Loch Ness monster. Now I believe in science, statistics, and antibiotics." So says seventeen-year-old Zac Meier during a long, grueling leukemia treatment in Perth, Australia. A loud blast of Lady Gaga alerts him to the presence of Mia, the angry, not-at-all-stoic cancer patient in the room next door. Once released, the two near-strangers can't forget each other, even as they desperately try to resume normal lives. The story of their mysterious connection drives this unflinchingly tough, tender novel told in two voices.
Zac y Mia
by A. J. BettsValiente y poco convencional, describe el fuerte apego a la vida que surge cuando se padece una enfermedad grave. Si bien el ambiente frío y aséptico de una clínica es el último lugar donde una pareja de adolescentes esperaría iniciar una relación significativa, a veces el azar nos sorprende con encuentros fortuitos que marcan nuestro destino. Convaleciente de un trasplante de médula, Zac lleva semanas solo y aburrido en el hospital cuando en la habitación contigua ingresan a Mia, una impetuosa chica de su edad. A los golpecitos en el tabique del principio les sigue el intercambio de notas por medio de las enfermeras y, finalmente, en el silencio de la noche, la comunicación a través de Facebook. Paulatinamente, una amistad surgida de la necesidad da paso a una atracción muy especial que, sin embargo, se verá expuesta a una dura prueba cuando más adelante la realidad cotidiana interponga unos obstáculos con los que Zac y Miano contaban. Narrada con un fresco sentido del humor, autenticidad y delicadeza, Zac y Mia es una historia excepcional sobre dos chicos cuyo prometedor futuro se tambalea bajo sus pies. Una novela íntima y conmovedora que mantiene al lector en vilo hasta el final. La crítica ha dicho...«El poder curativo de la amistad, el amor y la familia hacen que este relato divertido y filosófico sobre la enfermedad en la adolescencia resulte sobresaliente.»Kirkus Reviews «Con una estructura elegante y un estilo y lenguaje carentes de toda afectación, los personajes de esta novela quedan grabados en la memoria del lector y permanecen en ella durante largo tiempo.»Jurado del Premio Ethel Turner «Betts retrata el cáncer como algo duro, que da miedo, pero que se puede derrotar -o, por lo menos, soportar- si uno no se enfrenta a él en solitario. Sus protagonistas, un chico que se aferra a la vida y una chica que se da cuenta de que nopuede evitar que su vida cambie, tienen una enorme fuerza.»Publishers Weekly «Cuando empieces este libro, no podrás dejar de leerlo.»The Hoopla

Drop Dead Healthy: One Man's Humble Quest for Bodily Perfection
by A. J. JacobsFrom the bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically and The Know-It-All comes the true and truly hilarious story of one person's quest to become the healthiest man in the world. Hospitalized with a freak case of tropical pneumonia, goaded by his wife telling him, "I don't want to be a widow at forty-five," and ashamed of a middle-aged body best described as "a python that swallowed a goat," A.J. Jacobs felt compelled to change his ways and get healthy. And he didn't want only to lose weight, or finish a triathlon, or lower his cholesterol. His ambitions were far greater: maximal health from head to toe. The task was epic. He consulted an army of experts-- sleep consultants and sex clinicians, nutritionists and dermatologists. He subjected himself to dozens of different workouts--from Strollercize classes to Finger Fitness sessions, from bouldering with cavemen to a treadmill desk. And he took in a cartload of diets: raw foods, veganism, high protein, calorie restriction, extreme chewing, and dozens more. He bought gadgets and helmets, earphones and juicers. He poked and he pinched. He counted and he measured. The story of his transformation is not only brilliantly entertaining, but it just may be the healthiest book ever written. It will make you laugh until your sides split and endorphins flood your bloodstream. It will alter the contours of your brain, imprinting you with better habits of hygiene and diet. It will move you emotionally and get you moving physically in surprising ways. And it will give you occasion to reflect on the body's many mysteries and the ultimate pursuit of health: a well-lived life.

Neuropsychological Neurology
by A. J. LarnerEssential to the management of patients suffering from neurological disorders is an understanding of the cognitive aspects of these conditions. This book begins with an outline of the various cognitive domains and how they can be tested, before covering in depth the cognitive deficits seen not only in prototypical neurodegenerative cognitive disorders (Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementias, Huntington's disease, prionoses), but also in other common neurological disorders which may be complicated by cognitive impairment (stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, brain tumours). This book is an essential reference text for all neurologists, not just those with an interest in cognitive disorders; and for general physicians and specialists who deal with any endocrine, metabolic, vascular, or infective disorders which may compromise cognitive function.

The Symbolism of the Tarot: Philosophy of Occultism in Pictures and Numbers
by P. D. Ouspensky A. L. PogosskyNo study of occult philosophy is possible without an acquaintance with symbolism, for if the words occultism and symbolism are correctly used, they mean almost one and the same thing. Symbolism cannot be learned as one learns to build bridges or speak a foreign language, and for the interpretation of symbols a special cast of mind is necessary; in addition to knowledge, special faculties, the power of creative thought and a developed imagination are required. One who understands the use of symbolism in the arts, knows, in a general way, what is meant by occu1t symbolism. But even then a special training of the mind is necessary, in order to comprehend the language of the Initiates, and to expess in this language the intuitions as they arise.
