I think there are many examples in this book, but I found the physical and mathematical model about the cosolvent flushing is not enough, also,I belive more details about the its actual design can help me to understand this remediation methods.

What a book. I started reading this book for a class while researching Lou Gehrig's disease. This story about Emily Bauer a woman suffering for ALS is so very powerful that I finished reading it long after the assignment was over. The book goes through in great detail the suffering she and her family endured as she was dying of this disease which still has no cure. After reading this book I realized that I have much to be thankful about. Life is precious and if your doubting it read this book and realize your life is precious and special.

I would certainly agree that this is the "worst" of the seven plays of Sophocles that still exist, but "Trachiniae" (a.k.a. "Trachinian Women" and "Women of Trachis") still has value, especially in terms of how it present Heracles, the greatest of the Greek heroes. While he is running around doing his great labors, Heracles has neglected his family. Before his last departure he promised that if he was not back in fifteen months it probably meant he was dead. Well, those fifteen months are up and his wife Deianeira is starting to get worried. However, she soon learns that her husband has not only sacked Oechalia, but that he is in love with the Princess Iole, who has been sent home ahead of him as a captive; certainly there are echoes of the Agamemnon-Clytemnestra-Cassandra triangle following the Trojan War. Determined to save her marriage, Deianeira sends Heracles a garment treated with a special salve given to her long ago by the dying Centaur Nessus, who said it would prevent her husband's love from straying. However, she is but the victim of the Centaur's own plan for revenge, because the salve proves lethal. When she learns this from her son Hyllus, the remorseful Deianeira commits suicide.

In Greek mythology it was well established that Heracles "died" on a funeral pyre: as a demi-god he could not truly die, so the fire burned away his mortal side. But in the hands of Sophocles the tale takes a certain twist. Heracles demands that Hyllus marry Iole. Sophocles presents this not as an act of repentance, but rather as a last attempt to keep Iole, using his son as a surrogate. Ultimately the question Sophocles poses is whether Heracles deserves transfiguration. In this regard it is similar to his play "Ajax," although I do not think the verdict is as clear or as positive in this play, which was performed sometime after 458 B.C. While the psychology of the characters is certainly what we expect from Sophocles, there is a touch of the cynicism we usually associated with Euripides.

White Wolf has managed to do it again! Notorious in the past for really lackluster treatment of the World of Darkness setting outside of Europe and north America, the Euthanatos book has completed a transformation that started with "Dragons of the East" and the "Akashic Brotherhood Tradition Book."

The new Euthanatos book is excellent; it's treatment of history and factions in the Death-Mages is incrementally better than it's predacessor. I enjoyed the greater detail given to the functional groups within the Euthanatoi-- the Golden Chalice, Wheel Keepers, and Albirerans.

Also, slightly more thought is put into the european and greek branches than previously, and there's brand-new material on the resurgence of the african euthanatotics of Great Zimbabwe, and details on the Aided, the celtic Euthanatoi.

The author of Revised Euthanatos also makes insightful, needful comments about what it really means to be a Thanatotic, and the distinction between playing an easy, gleeful killer, and the real challenge of playing a character who accepts, or at least tries to accept, death itself.

Mention is made of Euthanatos' dealings with wraiths, there's info on how Euthanatoi are adapting to the unpopular Avatar Storm, info on the new, ominious big movement in the Tradition (READ CLOSE, because it's in the fiction) and several pages of exciting new rotes and so forth, for those of you who're metaplot or mechanics junkies.

For those of you who buy Game Books because what you really want to read Mage novels, the Euthanatos book also should be very satisfying. The fiction is good, even if it is a perrenial idiocy to ruin good game books with excessive fiction. As usual, real game information is as usual being blurred into the fiction.

Despite this, and the awful turns in development Mage has taken since Brucato, there *have* been a few books worth buying in the line, and this is definitely one of them.

This is a darling little picture book that shows some of the most important works housed in the Museum of Fine Arts. The only reason that I can't recommend this little book with 5 stars is that it's missing a few of my personal favorites. However, it's the perfect little keepsake book for art lovers and collectors of all things Boston.

I read this novel for a class in British Orientalist literature. It's a series of letters written by a woman who travels to the East. Read it in conjunction with _Arabian Nights_, _Vathek_, _Rasselas_, and some other Orientalist tales, and you can get some interesting insights in eighteenth century England and the exotic/erotic elements of the East.

Ultramarine, the first published novel by Malcolm Lowry, tells the story of a young man's disillusioned coming of age at sea. Much of the raw material for the novel comes from notebooks Lowry kept during his own stint as a deckhand. Dana Hilliot, the young Lowryesque hero, faces the contempt of many of his fellow seamen, who view him as a spoiled upper-class poser incapable of doing a real man's work. He affects a grimly stoic front while engaging in elaborate fantasies of revenge. Lowry's description of life at sea reveals the boredom and discomfort of a long voyage, relieved only by exhausting labor, sudden danger, and occasional nights of drinking and whoring ashore. His young hero's Conrad and Melville-inspired dreams of adventure at sea are replaced by the grimy reality of a deckhand's daily life. The realistic dialogue, the description of the sea and the port cities, and the hero's fevered inner monologue hint at the richness of language that was to inform Lowry's greatest novel, Under the Volcano. The young hero's moral agonies as he struggles to remain faithful to his fiancee at home may seem comically overwrought to present-day readers, but Ultramarine's rewards certainly outweigh its few flaws. This work of Lowry's youth shows an unruly genius already testing its limits

The period of English theater that coincided with the restoration of the crown is best known for comedy. This is with good reason. The comedies of Wycherly, Congreve, Etherege, Davenant, etc. still retain their satirical bite and energy, whereas the drama of the period, especially the attempts at tragedy, appear now dated and lugubrious.
Otway, like Dryden, is something of an exception. Though not adhering to the Aristotean rules of tragedy that Dryden practiced, Otway shows in Venice Preserved a great deal of dramatic skill and competence. The plot elements may seem a bit contrived, particularly in comparison to the Greek model, but the dialogue doesn't sink into the sort of heroic, declamatory mode that characterizes so many plays of the period and that sound so laughable to a modern audience. The play was well received in its time, as was his other famous work, The Orphan. Unfortunately for Otway, playwights were not often well compensated in that era, and he like Savage, lived a life of penury.

Venice Preserved is still well regarded enough that it is still taught in many college courses that cover Restoratiion theater. Though modern productions are extremely rare, is is a work that retains power and its pathos.

I haven't knitted much out of this book yet but what I have knitted has been very successful. My whole family wants a pair of those half gloves now that I've made myself a pair. Not exactly revolutionary designs and some of them are just too froo-froo for teens but the good designs are excellent. I'll be using this book for years to come.
