In Mortal Imitations of Divine Life, Diamond offers an interpretation of De Anima, which explains how and why Aristotle places souls in a hierarchy of value. Aristotle’s central intention in De Anima is to discover the nature and essence of soul-the principle of living beings.

How the monarchs of England and Scotland met their deaths has been a wonderful mixture of violence, infections, overindulgence and occasional regicide. In Mortal Monarchs, medical historian Dr Suzie Edge examines 1,000 years of royal deaths to uncover the Descriptions, accusations, rivalries and ever-present threat of poison that the kings and queens of old faced.
From the "bloody" fascinating story behind Oliver Cromwell’s demise and the subsequent treatment of his corpse and whether the arrow William II caught in the chest was an accident or murder, to Henry IV’s remarkable skin condition and the red-hot poker up Edward II’s rear end, Mortal Monarchs captivates, grosses-out and informs.
In school, many of us learned the dates they died and who followed them, but sadly never heard the varied-and oft-gruesome-way our monarchs met their maker. Featuring original medical research, this history forms a rich record not just of how these people died, but how we thought about and treated the human body, in life and in death.

English | 1993 | pages: 288 | ISBN: 0671711997, 0786754877 | EPUB | 0,5 mb
This is a look inside the mind of Nigel Short’s opponent in October 1993 in London for the World Chess Championship. This book tells a story of chess played at the genius level, of an extraordinary personality and of contemporary Soviet politics. Gary Kasparov is the perhaps most charismatic and articulate person to hold the world championship since Bobby Fischer, but also an active player in the ongoing Russian political drama and one of the most influential Soviet citizens, and will make a mark on the restructuring of his country. Fred Waitzkin has gained unique access to the man, living with him during the matches with Anatoly Karpov, as he defends his title from his sworn moral enemy, discussing match play in detail and even following him back to his homeland of Azerbaijan to observe his campaign for political office.
