"All pain vanished." "I went through this dark, black vacuum at super speed." "There was a feeling of utter peace and quiet, no fear at all." "I was in a very dark, very deep valley. Later I thought, 'Well, now I know what the Bible means by the valley of the shadow of death because I've been there.'" "After I came back, I cried off and on for about a week because I had to live in this world after seeing that one." "It opened up a whole new world for me . . . I kept thinking, 'There's so much that I've got to find out.'" "I heard a voice telling me what I had to do go back-and I felt no fear."-- Moody presents medical cases along with a look at religious teachings and their afterlife possibilities.

by R. Preston McafeeThis book presents introductory economics ("principles") material using standard mathematical tools, including calculus. It is designed for a relatively sophisticated undergraduate who has not taken a basic university course in economics.

The focus of this book is on the conceptual tools and not on fluff. Most microeconomics texts are mostly fluff and the fluff market is exceedingly over-served by $100+ texts.
