You never know when lessons from a past life will catch up with you... A few minutes before Lauren awoke; her life took a dramatic turn. She remembers dreaming of a man who was so connected to her, he could have been her other half. How does she stop the dreams that leave her confused, and missing him terribly? From the onset, Alex felt there was something different about his nightly apparitions, and allowed them to slowly develop. His dreams of meeting someone who owns a piece of his soul was becoming more intense every night, and he didn't have a clue what to do about it. Through unsuspecting twist, turns, and found objects from the past, they are now almost certain their dreams are not fantasy, and must be played out. Except for one problem... Will they be able to find each other?

Haunted Greece and Rome

Ghost Stories from Classical Antiquity

By: Debbie Felton

Stories of ghostly spirits who return to this world to warn of danger, to prophesy, to take revenge, to request proper burial, or to comfort the living fascinated people in ancient times just as they do today. In this innovative, interdisciplinary study, the author combines a modern folkloric perspective with literary analysis of ghost stories from classical antiquity to shed new light on the stories' folk roots. The author begins by examining ancient Greek and Roman beliefs about death and the departed and the various kinds of ghost stories which arose from these beliefs. She then focuses on the longer stories of Plautus, Pliny, and Lucian, which concern haunted houses. Her analysis illuminates the oral and literary transmission and adaptation of folkloric motifs and the development of the ghost story as a literary form. In her concluding chapter, the author also traces the influence of ancient ghost stories on modern ghost story writers, a topic that will interest all readers and scholars of tales of hauntings.

The Virus and the Vaccine

Contaminated Vaccine, Deadly Cancers, and Government Neglect

By: Debbie Bookchin,Jim Schumacher

Jonas Salk's polio vaccine has taken on an almost legendary quality as a medical miracle, for it largely eradicated one of the most feared diseases of the 20th century. But the story of the vaccine has a dark side, one that has never been fully told before... Between 1954 and 1963, close to 98 million Americans received polio vaccinations contaminated with a carcinogenic monkey virus, now known as SV40. A concerted government effort downplayed the incident, and it was generally accepted that although oncogenic to laboratory animals, SV40 was harmless to humans. But now SV40 in showing up in human cancers, and prominent researchers are demanding a serious public health response to this forgotten polio vaccine contaminant. A gripping medical detective story, The Virus and the Vaccine raises major questions about vaccine policy.

Holidays in the Danger Zone

Entanglements of War and Tourism

By: Debbie Lisle

Holidays in the Danger Zone exposes the mundane and everyday interactions between two seemingly opposed worlds: warfare and tourism. Debbie Lisle shows how a tourist sensibility shapes the behavior of soldiers in war—especially the experiences of Western military forces in “exotic” settings. This includes not only R&R but also how battlefields become landscapes of leisure and tourism. She further explores how a military sensibility shapes the development of tourism in the postwar context, from “Dark Tourism” (engaging with displays of conflict and atrocity) to exhibitions of conflict in museums and at memorial sites, as well as advertising, film, journals, guidebooks, blogs, and photography. Focused on how war and tourism reinforce prevailing modes of domination, Holidays in the Danger Zone critically examines the long historical arc of the war–tourism nexus—from nineteenth-century imperialism to World War I and World War II, from the Cold War to globalization and the War on Terror.

Remote

places to stay

By: Debbie Pappyn en David De Vleeschauwer

Reiskoppel Debbie Pappyn en David De Vleeschauwer trokken de wereld rond op zoek naar de meest afgelegen hotels en verblijfplaatsen. Stilte, traagheid en ruimte zijn de nieuwe luxe. In een tijdperk vol verstrooiing en fragmentering is er meer dan ooit behoefte aan afstand nemen en teruggrijpen naar de essentie. Remote - places to stay biedt je 22 weg-van-de-wereld plekken, waar je de wereld om je heen en in jezelf kunt horen en voelen en de knop even kunt omdraaien. Het zijn verblijfplaatsen die letterlijk moeilijker te bereiken en vaak afgelegen zijn - sommige zijn enkel te voet bereikbaar, andere enkel per trein, met de boot of met bush planes - maar waar je des te meer ruimte vindt voor jezelf. Van luxueus tot basic, van het Arctische Noorden tot de woestijnlandschappen in Afrika, van een elegant toevluchtsoord in de Himalaya tot een verlaten dorp in de hak van Italië. Steeds geraffineerd en met een exquise smaak. Een onvergetelijke reis met unieke beelden.

Never Give Up

Dr. Kati Karikó and the Race for the Future of Vaccines

By: Debbie Dadey

Audisee® eBooks with Audio combine professional narration and sentence highlighting for an engaging read aloud experience! Growing up in a small Hungarian town, Kati Karikó was curious about everything. As an adult, she channeled her curiosity into her work as a scientist. An mRNA vaccine had never been made before, and she faced frequent criticism and was told by other scientists she would never succeed. After many years of hard work and dedication, she figured out how to use mRNA to make a vaccine—and when a deadly virus called COVID-19 started infecting millions of people, Kati’s invention turned out to be exactly what the world needed. Never Give Up is the inspiring true story of a determined scientist who proved that a little bit of curiosity and a lot of hard work can save lives.
