Book Description
Having survived a massive heart attack from which the overwhelming number of victims never recover, the author engages himself in a conversation on Why him? It is a conversation that recalls, with humor and candidness, other times in his life that he had escaped close shaves with death. It ends with an emphatic admission rooted in faith that a third factorGod, an unseen hand, a guardian angel, an ancestral spirit, etc.most certainly has always interceded on his behalf to upturn logically fatal outcomes. This is also as much an essay on Akan cultural practices as it is a commentary on Ghanaian political history.

Remembering and Disremembering the Dead
Author: Floris Tomasini
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137538287
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence. This book is a multidisciplinary work that investigates the notion of posthumous harm over time. The question what is and when is death, affects how we understand the possibility of posthumous harm and redemption. Whilst it is impossible to hurt the dead, it is possible to harm the wishes, beliefs and memories of persons that once lived. In this way, this book highlights the vulnerability of the dead, and makes connections to a historical oeuvre, to add critical value to similar concepts in history that are overlooked by most philosophers. There is a long historical view of case studies that illustrate the conceptual character of posthumous punishment; that is, dissection and gibbetting of the criminal corpse after the Murder Act (1752), and those shot at dawn during the First World War. A long historical view is also taken of posthumous harm; that is, body-snatching in the late Georgian period, and organ-snatching at Alder Hey in the 1990s.

What Happens When We Die?
Author: Sam Parnia, M.D.
Publisher: Hay House, Inc
ISBN: 1401933548
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
A critical care doctor interviews hundreds of patients about their near-death experiences, taking readers on a fascinating tour through human consciousness—and demystifying what may await us after death. Dr. Sam Parnia faces death every day. Through his work as a critical-care doctor in a hospital emergency room, he became very interested in some of his patients’ accounts of the experiences that they had while clinically dead. He started to collect these stories and read all the latest research on the subject—and then he conducted his own experiments. That work has culminated in this extraordinary book, which picks up where Raymond Moody’s Life After Life left off. Written in a scientific, balanced, and engaging style, this is powerful and compelling reading. This fascinating and controversial book will change the way you look at death and dying.

The Science of Near-Death Experiences
Author: John C. Hagan
Publisher: University of Missouri Press
ISBN: 0826273688
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
What happens to consciousness during the act of dying? The most compelling answers come from people who almost die and later recall events that occurred while lifesaving resuscitation, emergency care, or surgery was performed. These events are now called near-death experiences (NDEs). As medical and surgical skills improve, innovative procedures can bring back patients who have traveled farther on the path to death than at any other time in history. Physicians and healthcare professionals must learn how to appropriately treat patients who report an NDE. It is estimated that more than 10 million people in the United States have experienced an NDE. Hagan and the contributors to this volume engage in evidence-based research on near-death experiences and include physicians who themselves have undergone a near-death experience. This book establishes a new paradigm for NDEs.
