Sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction, and for Gary Renard, best-selling author of The Disappearance of the Universe, such was the case. In 1992, two "ascended masters" appeared before him to impart the teachings from A Course in Miracles. Before their arrival, Renard had never heard of this modern spiritual text. Over the next nine years they met with him frequently to teach him its complexities.

The clash of armies in the American Civil War left hundreds of thousands of men dead, wounded, or permanently damaged. Skirmishes and battles could result in casualty numbers as low as one or two and as high as 10s of thousands. The carnage of the battlefield left a lasting impression on those who experienced or viewed it, but in most cases the armies quickly moved on to meet again at another time and place. When the dust settled and the living armies moved on, what happened to the dead left behind?

Según datos de la OMS, el suicidio es la segunda causa de defunción entre las personas jóvenes, con un total aproximado de 800 000 muertes al año a nivel mundial.

The first book that explains how to open to the immensity of living with death—and how participating fully in life is the perfect preparation for whatever may come next. In Who Dies?: An Investigation of Conscious Living and Conscious Dying, the Levines provide calm compassion rather than the frightening melodrama of death. A meaningful insight how to participate fully in life as the perfect preparation for whatever may come next, be it sorrow or joy, loss or gain, death or a new wonderment at life.

A morte, destino comum a todos os seres vivos, é tabu na cultura ocidental. Organizado por Teresa Vera de Sousa Gouvêa e Karina Okajima Fukumitsu, psicólogas especialistas em luto, este livro reúne treze relatos nos quais os autores compartilham, de maneira sensível e poética, experiências de vida em que a presença da morte lhes trouxe aprendizados transformadores. Entre os temas abordados estão: a morte súbita e a morte lenta; a morte em idade precoce e aquela em idade avançada; a perda de um pai e a perda de um filho; a morte esperada e aquela que interrompe planos.

On an average day in America, seven young people aged 19 or under will be shot dead. In Another Day in the Death of America, award-winning Guardian journalist Gary Younge tells the stories of the lives lost during the course of a single day in the United States. It could have been any day, but Younge has chosen November 23, 2013. Far from a dry account of gun policy in the United States or a polemic about the dangers of gun violence, the book is a gripping chronicle of an ordinary but deadly day in American life.

"It takes an entire lifetime to learn how to die", wrote the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca (c. 4 BC-65 AD). He counseled readers to "study death always", and took his own advice, returning to the subject again and again in all his writings, yet he never treated it in a complete work. How to Die gathers in one volume, for the first time, Seneca's remarkable meditations on death and dying. Edited and translated by James S. Romm, How to Die reveals a provocative thinker who speaks with a startling frankness about the need to accept death or even, under certain conditions, to seek it out.
