Book Description
I am an old sorcerer who has lived too long and was seduced by darkness for a long time. I discovered the light in the words. Some time ago, I found a text that made me reflect and has inspired this manuscript. It started like this: My name is Leirbag. I have fought alongside great wizards, warriors and elves, but no one tells a story about me. I suppose it's because my race is considered savages, murderers, deformed and a long list of unpleasant adjectives. But I am also part of the great stories that became legendary. If you haven't already guessed who I am, I'll tell you that I'm a despicable orc with a desire for revenge. Dagburz, dark land is an epic fantasy novel that tells the battles from the perspective of the most dastardly being of all. Using a direct narrative with a unique style, the author aims to give the story a different approach to the adventure classics, but respecting its essence.

Book Description
Set in the midst of the Mongolian invasion of medieval Russia, Buyan tells a powerful story of love and loss as one man embarks on a dangerous quest, fighting his way through soldiers, spirits, and even ancient gods in a desperate attempt to be reunited with his wife. The grandson of Genghis Khan, Batu, and his Golden Horde have just begun a ruthless march across Siberia. Batu intends to spread his Mongolian empire all the way to Europe and to conquer the great city of Novgorod. Meanwhile, the Teutonic Knights of Europe spread the Crusades eastward, burning cities one by one in their unstoppable advance. But in the midst of all this fighting, a small village in Nenetsia is attacked, and a simple hunter named Maansi tragically loses the love of his life. Determined to be reunited with his wife, Maansi travels toward the sea in search of the mythical island of the dead—Buyan. But the path to Buyan is fraught with not only bloodthirsty warriors and religious zealots, but also ancient spirits who have been angered by the war as well as the unforgiving gods of old. Still, desperate to see his wife’s face again, Maansi will not let anything stand in the way of his quest to find Buyan.

The Amazing Language of Medicine
Author: Robert B. Taylor
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319503286
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
This book tells the intriguing and often colorful stories of the medical words we use. The origins of clinical and scientific terms can be found in Greek and Latin myths, in places such as jungles of Uganda and the islands of the Aegean Sea, in the names of medicine’s giants such as Hippocrates and Osler, and in some truly unlikely sources. In this book you will learn the answers to questions such as: • What disease was named for an American space flight? • Do you know the echoic word for elephantine rumbling of the bowels? • What drug name was determined by drawing chemists’ notes out of a hat? • What are surfer’s eye, clam digger’s itch, and hide porter’s disease? This book can give you new insights into the terms we use every day in the clinic, hospital, and laboratory. Knowing a word’s history assists in understanding not only what it means, but also some of the connotative subtleties of terms used in diagnosis and treatment. The Amazing Language of Medicine is intended for the enrichment of physicians, other health professionals, students, and anyone involved in clinical care and medical science.
