Sinopse

In "The West Indies and the Spanish Main," Anthony Trollope invites readers on a vivid exploration of the Caribbean and northern South America, weaving together travel narrative with astute sociopolitical observations. Trollope's literary style reflects a keen eye for detail and an engaging prose that balances humor and seriousness, while grounding his accounts in historical context. Through his travels, he examines the complexities of colonialism, indigenous cultures, and the economic factors influencing these regions, allowing a glimpse into a world transformed by European interests during the 19th century. Trollope, a prolific English author known for his influential novels and keen social commentary, was inspired by his experiences as a postal surveyor in various colonial territories. His observations on daily life, culture, and the intricate dynamics of imperialism informed his writing, making him a crucial voice in understanding the intersection of British identity and colonial presence. Such contexts greatly enriched his insights in this travelogue, lending authenticity to his reflections on the Caribbean's past and present. For readers interested in travel literature, colonial history, or Trollope's broader oeuvre, "The West Indies and the Spanish Main" is an essential work that illuminates the often-overlooked narratives of these vibrant regions. It is a profound journey that combines a personal exploration with critical analysis, appealing to both armchair travelers and scholars seeking to understand the complexities of colonial legacy.

    A rollicking history of the life and work of an unheralded genius: Dr. Solomon Snyder, whose experiments with mind-altering drugs helped change the way we think about the causes and treatments of schizophrenia.In the 1950s, the field of psychiatry had nothing to show for itself. While polio was being cured, antibiotics were being discovered, and cancer research was developing, the mental health world had no wins. Asylums were full and nobody had figured out how to fix insanity—specifically schizophrenia, the severest mental illness. Scientists became convinced that if they could engineer a pill to create madness, then they could cure it.Centered around Solomon Snyder, the psychiatrist who ultimately did identify the madness pill, and the community of doctors and researchers he worked with, THE MADNESS PILL recounts the drug-fueled quest to cure schizophrenia. A wunderkind who started medical school at 19, Snyder worked steadily for decades to replicate the illness, ultimately finding in 1970 that amphetamines could trigger a schizophrenia-like state by flooding the brain with dopamine. Five years later, he went on to discover the dopamine receptor and proved that antipsychotic drugs work by disabling dopamine neurons. Snyder’s dopamine hypothesis inspired a generation of researchers to part ways with psychoanalysis and look for the biological basis of schizophrenia and other mental disorders.Using first-hand research and interviews, THE MADNESS PILL is at once a raucous history and insightful portrait of a remarkable scientist who turned psychiatry into a respected science by transforming how mental illness is treated.

    All the Ways Our Dead Still...

    What if our dead remain with us? What if closure is not the goal? No matter what you believe about the afterlife, what if the hereafter intersects with the here and now? 
     
     
     
    Caleb Wilde, author of the acclaimed memoir Confessions of a Funeral Director, was a skeptic. The baffling stories people told him—deathbed visions of long-dead parents, visits from the other side—must be hallucinations or wishful thinking, he thought. But the more stories he heard, and the more he learned about non-Western understandings of body and spirit, the less sure he was. 
     
     
     
    All the Ways Our Dead Still Speak takes listeners on a lyrical and tender quest to encounter the hereafter. As Wilde picks up bodies, organizes funerals, and meets with grieving families in a small town in Pennsylvania, those who remain share with him—and us—what they experience in the thin places between life and death. Entwining these stories with his own as a sixth-generation funeral director, and with the findings of neuroscience and the solace of faith, Wilde creates a searching, reverent inquiry into all the ways our dead remain with us. In the process, he takes on prevailing dogmas about death: from a narrow Christian view of heaven and hell, to secular assumptions that death is the end, to pop-psychology maxims that say we all need "closure" after our loved ones die.

    In this early "Jeeves" novel, the infamous Bertie Wooster, rebuffing the assistance of his trusty manservant Jeeves, attempts to help his old chum and newt-fancier Gussie Fink-Nottle win the affections of the goofy but adorable Madeline Bassett. But without Jeeves to lend a hand, chaos ensues, and Bertie finds himself accidentally - and horribly - engaged to Madeline himself.  Right Ho, Jeeves contains a passage described by actor Stephen Fry (a Jeeves and Bertie veteran) as "the single funniest piece of sustained writing in the language".  A much beloved romp by the master of satirical comedy, the legendary P.G. Wodehouse
