The Sacred Disease
￥40.79
It is thus with regard to the disease called Sacred: it appears to me to be nowise more divine nor more sacred than other diseases, but has a natural cause from the originates like other affections. Men regard its nature and cause as divine from ignorance and wonder, because it is not at all like to other diseases. And this notion of its divinity is kept up by their inability to comprehend it, and the simplicity of the mode by which it is cured, for men are freed from it by purifications and incantations. But if it is reckoned divine because it is wonderful, instead of one there are many diseases which would be sacred; for, as I will show, there are others no less wonderful and prodigious, which nobody imagines to be sacred.

Ancient Medicine
￥40.79
The art of Medicine would not have been invented at first, nor would it have been made a subject of investigation (for there would have been no need of it), if when men are indisposed, the same food and other articles of regimen which they eat and drink when in good health were proper for them, and if no others were preferable to these. But now necessity itself made medicine to be sought out and discovered by men, since the same things when administered to the sick, which agreed with them when in good health, neither did nor do agree with them.
Aphorisms
￥40.79
Life is short, and Art long; the crisis fleeting; experience perilous, and decision difficult. The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself, but also to make the patient, the attendants, and externals cooperate.
Epidemics
￥40.79
Early in the beginning of spring, and through the summer, and towards winter, many of those who had been long gradually declining, took to bed with symptoms of phthisis; in many cases formerly of a doubtful character the disease then became confirmed; in these the constitution inclined to the phthisical. Many, and, in fact, the most of them, died; and of those confined to bed, I do not know if a single individual survived for any considerable time; they died more suddenly than is common in such cases. But other diseases, of a protracted character, and attended with fever, were well supported, and did not prove fatal: of these we will give a description afterwards.
Fiul risipitor
￥68.75
Se spune c? ?nceputurile pot fi uneori ca o cea?? de nep?truns. A?a este ?i cazul acestei pove?ti, care ?ncepe cu apari?ia unei noi specii, probabil ?n urm? cu dou? mii de ani. Specia nu are ?nc? un nume – nimic nu are ?nc? unul – dar are capacitatea de a numi lucruri.Asemenea oric?rei alte noi specii, starea acesteia este fragil?. Num?rul membrilor s?i este mic, iar teritoriul pe care ?l ocup? este redus la o bucat? din estul Africii. Popula?ia sa cre?te treptat, dar apoi, destul de probabil, aceasta se diminueaz? din nou – unii ar spune c? asta se ?nt?mpl? ?ntr-un mod aproape fatal – ajung?nd la doar c?teva mii de perechi.Membrii speciei nu sunt neap?rat foarte rapizi sau puternici sau fertili. Ei sunt ?ns? nemaipomenit de descurc?re?i. Progresiv, ei ?ncep s? exploreze teritorii cu diferite climate, diferi?i pr?d?tori ?i diferite tipuri de v?nat. Nici una dintre constr?ngerile aduse de habitat sau de geografia locului nu pare s? ?i afecteze prea tare.

What a Piece of Work
￥63.67
This is a small book on a large subject: What is special about human beings? Hamlet mused, 'What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! how like a god!' but went on to speak of 'this quintessence of dust'. Helen Oppenheimer prefers to start with the dust and move to the glory: we really are animals - and from these animals has come Shakespeare. People are indeed 'miserable sinners' - and also magnificent creatures.The author does not disguise that she is a Christian theologian whose subject is ethics, but she writes equally for non-Christians. Her invitation to the reader is: Here is a way of looking at things that I find exciting and convincing - I hope you do too.
