    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    "Redshirts" by John Scalzi is a science fiction novel that uses metafiction to explore the lives of the crew aboard the Intrepid, the flagship of the Universal Union. The ensigns, particularly those in the security division, notice their missions often involve dangerous and absurd situations with a high mortality rate. They come to believe that they are characters in a low-budget science fiction television show, whose writers prioritize exciting and dramatic scenarios over the safety of the characters. Determined to break free from this deadly narrative, they embark on a quest to confront their creators in Hollywood. The novel is a humorous and thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between fiction and reality, the power of narrative, and the ethical considerations of those who control it.

    "The Oldest Code of Laws in the World" is a compilation of legal codes created by Hammurabi, the sixth king of Babylon, in ancient Mesopotamia. This work dates back to the 18th century BCE and is one of the earliest known examples of a legal system in human history. 
    The codes cover a wide range of legal issues, including property rights, inheritance, slavery, marriage and divorce, trade, and crimes and punishments. They provide insights into the social order and cultural norms of the time, as well as the role of law and justice in ancient Mesopotamia. 
    Hammurabi's codes were based on the principle of divine authority, with the king as the ultimate arbiter of justice. They reflected the social hierarchy of the time, with different punishments prescribed for different classes of people. The codes were also designed to promote social order and stability, with harsh punishments prescribed for those who disrupted the peace. 
    "The Oldest Code of Laws in the World" is a fascinating glimpse into the legal and moral codes of ancient Mesopotamia, and it continues to be a source of inspiration for scholars and students of history, law, and culture. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the world's greatest civilizations

    "Toward a Psychology of Being" by Abraham Maslow, published in 1962, is a seminal work in humanistic psychology. Building on his hierarchy of needs, Maslow explores the concept of self-actualization as the pinnacle of psychological development. The book shifts focus from pathology to positive aspects of human experience, emphasizing what enables individuals to thrive.Maslow identifies self-actualization with traits like autonomy, creativity, and purpose. He encourages psychologists to study positive aspects of human behavior, challenging behaviorism and psychoanalysis. The book advocates for a more holistic, human-centered psychology valuing subjective experience and individual uniqueness.Maslow's humanistic approach transcends traditional psychological boundaries, delving into existential questions about life's meaning and personal excellence. "Toward a Psychology of Being" integrates psychology, philosophy, and spirituality, offering a comprehensive perspective on the human experience.While praised for groundbreaking ideas, criticisms exist, including cultural bias in self-actualization traits. Despite this, the book's impact persists, influencing how psychologists study human behavior and well-being, fostering a positive psychology that considers strengths, aspirations, and the pursuit of personal growth.

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    At the Water's Edge by Sara Gruen tells the story of Maddie, a young American woman who travels to Scotland with her husband, Ellis, and their friend, Hank, in 1942, in search of the Loch Ness Monster. Maddie is a reluctant participant in this quest, which is fueled by her husband's obsession and his father's previous attempts to find the monster. 
      
    As the trio settles into a remote Scottish inn, Maddie finds herself increasingly isolated and out of place. The story explores themes of identity, trauma, and the clash between cultures, as Maddie struggles to navigate the complexities of wartime Scotland and the strained dynamics of her own marriage. The narrative also delves into the impact of war on individuals and communities, as rationing, blackouts, and the presence of soldiers constantly remind them of the global conflict. Maddie must also confront her own mental health issues which are exacerbated by the stress of this environment.

    These are poems about conversations that we'd like to have with ourselves and with others when our bodies and minds are fraying... 
    There's struggle and triumph, loss and humanity within the pages of this eclectic collection of verse. 
    Here's what Readers have to say: 
    "[This] collection brings together the dilemmas doctors and clinicians face through the voices of poetry in a way that is quite extraordinarily moving. It is about intersections, beliefs, power, frailty and so much more." - Ruth 
    "Words from a doctor's heart. The touch-points. The soft, comforting words, the firmness of harsh realities. Acceptance of the inevitable. Or the frustrating answers that make no sense." - Ashish 
    "Some of the stories may sound unreal to those who haven't been to crowded public hospitals in large cities. A doctor's perspective beautifully captured. Most of the poems are short stories of amazing tales. If you read poetry or short stories, don't miss out on this one." - Wonchi Murry
