Summary

- This edition is unique;- The translation is completely original and was carried out for the Ale. Mar. SAS;- All rights reserved.The Biography of Satan is a book by Kersey Graves, first published in 1879. In this provocative work, Graves explores the historical, mythological, and theological origins of the figure known as Satan, arguing that the concept evolved through the interplay of ancient mythologies, cultural superstition, and ecclesiastical authority. Drawing on comparative religion and early history, he presents Satan not as an independent supernatural being, but as a construct shaped by religious power and fear. Graves places the blame for the persistence of the Devil myth squarely on the institutions that benefited from maintaining belief in eternal punishment and moral dualism. This work reflects the 19th-century freethought movement's skepticism toward orthodox Christianity, particularly its more fear-based doctrines. As with his better-known book The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors, Graves challenges traditional dogma and urges readers to question inherited beliefs. The book remains a bold and controversial critique of religious literalism, appealing to readers interested in the intersection of mythology, philosophy, and historical inquiry.

    Richard Hatch, known to millions of sci-fi fans as Captain Apollo and Tom Zarek, recorded an audio book of his memoirs of both the original and re-imagined versions of Battlestar Galactica. His experiences on both versions of Battlestar Galactica are vividly recalled as he shares many indelible memories of the iconic actors he appeared alongside, and the challenges and barriers one of the most expensive shows in TV history faced at a time when networks were highly sceptical of Sci-fi in general.  
    Hatch passed away in 2017 and this audio book gives us his recollections and gave Richard Hatch the opportunity to reflect, on the two very different Battlestar series, and the life changing journey he had taken over 35 years ‘From Apollo to Tom Zarek’.

    A touching and intimate correspondence between Anderson Cooper and his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, offering timeless wisdom and a revealing glimpse into their lives 
    Though Anderson Cooper has always considered himself close to his mother, his intensely busy career as a journalist for CNN and CBS affords him little time to spend with her. After she suffers a brief but serious illness at the age of ninety-one, they resolve to change their relationship by beginning a year-long conversation unlike any they had ever had before. The result is a correspondence of surprising honesty and depth in which they discuss their lives, the things that matter to them, and what they still want to learn about each other. 
    Both a son’s love letter to his mother and an unconventional mom’s life lessons for her grown son, The Rainbow Comes and Goes offers a rare window into their close relationship and fascinating life stories, including their tragedies and triumphs. In these often humorous and moving exchanges, they share their most private thoughts and the hard-earned truths they’ve learned along the way. In their words their distinctive personalities shine through—Anderson’s journalistic outlook on the world is a sharp contrast to his mother’s idealism and unwavering optimism. 
     An appealing memoir with inspirational advice, The Rainbow Comes and Goes is a beautiful and affectionate celebration of the universal bond between a parent and a child, and a thoughtful reflection on life, reminding us of the precious insight that remains to be shared, no matter our age.

    Who should read this book? Someone on their way out the door for their first or an early career health emergency and disaster risk management (HEDRM) experience, regardless of role, or someone who is trying to support one who is, or who does it all of the time and wants to know that they are not alone 
    What does this book tell the reader? It provides the shock of jumping into the cold water of health emergency and disaster risk management (HEDRM), without the risk of drowning; it focuses on practical aspects of the experience of doing the work that guidelines and playbooks (as important as they are) do not address 
    Who else might be interested in this book? People keen to understand how HEDRM happens in the context of highly communicable diseases, or about how global public health, emergencies, aid, and development mix, or medical history... the technical and contextual curious 
    Who should NOT read this book? Anyone who is looking for gory details 
    What is the main strength of this book? It is a raw view of the experience of conducting such responses at the clinical: public health interface, with some lessons durable across emergencies 
    What is the main weakness of this book? It carries all of the biases of such experiences. There is a lot not said; the book has snapshots and cannot relate the 10,000,000 events during the year not described 
    What is new in the 2024 edition? In print and e-book, overdue editing without loss of content, a forward that reflects on the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of themes in the book, and in the print edition available on www.amazon.com, a series of essays stepping back and exploring the ways in which people interact with the threat of infectious diseases that defines our willingness and readiness to meet them
