You should never fall in love with a flyer. You should only be in love with flight. ? That’s the rule that Roxy Loewen – aviatrix, and protégé of the great Amelia Earhart – always lives by. Until she falls hard for fellow pilot Jocco Zomack and he leads her into a whole heap of trouble. From African skies to a cellar in Madrid, from the Berlin Olympics to the last flight of the Hindenburg, from gun running to the heist of the century, Roxy is just one step ahead of the Nazis – and one loop-de-loop from disaster. ? “A barrel-rolling barn-burner of a book! Roxy's got a tender heart with a steel jacket, and the skill and courage to bring her in on a wing and a prayer.?A good thing, because this girl doesn't pack a parachute." —Diana Gabaldon

外科医生讲述器官移植这一精密手术创造奇迹的过程。 "With When Death Becomes Life, Mezrich has performed the perfect core biopsy of transplantation—a clear and compelling account of the grueling daily work, the spell-binding history and the unsettling ethical issues that haunt this miraculous lifesaving treatment. Mezrich's compassionate and honest voice, punctuated by a sharp and intelligent wit, render the enormous subject not just palatable but downright engrossing."—Pauline Chen, author of Final Exam: A Surgeon’s Reflections on Mortality A gifted surgeon illuminates one of the most profound, awe-inspiring, and deeply affecting achievements of modern day medicine—the movement of organs between bodies—in this exceptional work of death and life that takes its place besides Atul Gawande’s Complications, Siddhartha Mukherjee’s The Emperor of All Maladies, and Jerome Groopman’s How Doctors Think. At the University of Wisconsin, Dr. Mezrich creates life from loss, transplanting organs from one body to another. In this intimate, profoundly moving work, he illuminates the extraordinary field of transplantation that enables this kind of miracle to happen every day.When Death Becomes Life is a thrilling look at how science advances on a grand scale to improve human lives. Mezrich examines more than one hundred years of remarkable medical breakthroughs, connecting this fascinating history with the inspiring and heartbreaking stories of his transplant patients. Combining gentle sensitivity with scientific clarity, Mezrich reflects on his calling as a doctor and introduces the modern pioneers who made transplantation a reality—maverick surgeons whose feats of imagination, bold vision, and daring risk taking generated techniques and practices that save millions of lives around the world.Mezrich takes us inside the operating room and unlocks the wondrous process of transplant surgery, a delicate, intense ballet requiring precise timing, breathtaking skill, and at times, creative improvisation. In illuminating this work, Mezrich touches the essence of existence and what it means to be alive. Most physicians fight death, but in transplantation, doctors take from death. Mezrich shares his gratitude and awe for the privilege of being part of this transformative exchange as the dead give their last breath of life to the living. After all, the donors are his patients, too.When Death Becomes Life also engages in fascinating ethical and philosophical debates: How much risk should a healthy person be allowed to take to save someone she loves? Should a patient suffering from alcoholism receive a healthy liver? What defines death, and what role did organ transplantation play in that definition? The human story behind the most exceptional medicine of our time, Mezrich’s riveting book is a beautiful, poignant reminder that a life lost can also offer the hope of a new beginning.

A tévéproducer Laurie Moran boldog, amikor A gyanú árnyékában cím?, megoldatlan b?nügyekkel foglalkozó reality-drámájának kísérleti epizódja sikert arat. ?s most megtalálta az ideális esetet, mely a k?vetkez? rész témája lehet: ez A Hamupip?ke-gyilkosság. Amikor Susan Dempsey-t, a gy?ny?r? és tehetséges Los Angeles-i egyetemistát holtan találták, a gyilkosság számos kérdést vetett fel. Miért parkolt az autója kilométerekre a holttestét?l?

Szakhmáry Zoltán, a tehetséges fiatal f?ldbirtokos t?bb száz hold f?ld?n gazdálkodik a Kiskunságon. Nem éri be az elmaradott f?ldm?vel?i módszerekkel, modernizálni akar. Mindezt azonban úgy, hogy k?zben saját társadalmi osztályához is ragaszkodik, ? dzsentriként akar mintagazdaságot létrehozni. A lehetetlent kísérti, mint egyébként minden dolgában. Ezt tetézi magánéleti konfliktusa: szeretik a n?k, és ? is odavan a szerelemért, de afféle "egyasszonyos ember", mondta róla maga Móricz. Olyan ember, akinek egyszerre csak egy n? fér meg a vágyaiban: bárhogy rajong is a feleségéért, ha mégis beleszeret valaki másba, akkor már csak érte, a szeret?jéért fog megveszekedni, élni és halni.

Ami ezután t?rténik, az minden, csak nem megjósolható. Hiába kombinál az olvasó, el?bb-utóbb leesik neki, hogy ebben a szokványosnak látszó szerelmi háromsz?gben igazából semmi sem szokványos. ?s felesleges lenne arra intenünk, hogy inkább ne kedveljen meg egyetlen szerepl?t sem – úgyis képtelen lesz ellenállni.

Here lies entombed the renowned King Arthur in the island of Avalon. – Inscription found at Glastonbury in the late 12th century King Arthur most probably never existed and if he did we know precious little about him, and yet he is one of the most famous Britons, while Excalibur and Camelot are perhaps the world’s best known sword and castle, and Hollywood doesn’t tire of returning to the world of Arthurian romance – another major movie is to be released in 2016. So, what’s the truth behind King Arthur? How did the legends take hold? And why have they endured for so long? Long before the Marvel Universe there was the universe of Arthurian romance and King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table examines the fact and the fiction behind Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin, Guinevere, Galahad, among others, as well as the quest for the Holy Grail. Beginning in the 12th century, the book explores what factual basis there is for the tales and how the characters, stories and motifs developed through histories, epic poems and prose tellings. The book also charts the revived interest in Arthurian romance in the 19th century and considers how the tales still hold the popular imagination today. Illustrated with more than 180 colour and black-and-white artworks and photographs and maps, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is an expertly written account of where literature, mythology and history meet.

One terrorist, six hostages, a single bombing…?nothing out of the ordinary for task force operatives Alexandra Lansing and Mark Praed. With one exception; this request comes from the High Council on Kyree. An appeal from Kyree for task force help is peculiar enough for a planet where non-violence is practiced by all its citizens, but the Council is very specific in their choice of task force personnel: Mark Praed. Praed is baffled by the request. This is the same planet where his birth to a well born Kyreen female caused a galactic scandal, forcing his human father to flee Kyree with his half-human infant. The operatives travel to Kyree and meet with the High Council’s leader, Dame Ruthanon. Her orders are clear: the hostages are to be released and the terrorist captured, all without the use of violence. Alex and Praed are soon caught up in something more devious than the straight-forward capture of a terrorist. Nothing is as it appears, and what should have been a simple operation turns into a tangled mess of falsehoods, secret associations and hidden agendas.
