The Heart and Other Monsters
Author: Rose Andersen
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 163557515X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
"Impossible to put down. It haunts me still.” -Alex Marzano-Lesnevich, author of The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir A riveting, deeply personal exploration of the opioid crisis-an empathic memoir infused with hints of true crime. In November 2013, Rose Andersen's younger sister Sarah died of an overdose in the bathroom of her boyfriend's home in a small town with one of the highest rates of opioid use in the state. Like too many of her generation, she had become addicted to heroin. Sarah was 24 years old. To imagine her way into Sarah's life, Rose revisits their volatile childhood, marked by their stepfather's omnipresent rage and their father's pathological lying. As the dysfunction comes into focus, so does a broader picture of the opioid crisis and the drug rehabilitation industry in small towns across America. And when Rose learns from the coroner that Sarah's cause of death was a methamphetamine overdose, the story takes a wildly unexpected turn. As Andersen sifts through her sister's last days, we come to recognize the contours of grief and its aftermath: the psychic shattering which can turn to anger, the pursuit of an ever-elusive verdict, and the intensely personal rites of imagination and art needed to actually move on. Reminiscent of Alex Marzano-Lesnevich's The Fact of a Body, Maggie Nelson's Jane: A Murder, and Lacy M. Johnson's The Other Side, Andersen's debut is a potent, profoundly original journey into and out of loss.

Eaters of the Dead
Author: Kevin J. Wetmore, Jr.
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 1789144450
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Spanning myth, history, and contemporary culture, a terrifying and illuminating excavation of the meaning of cannibalism. Every culture has monsters that eat us, and every culture repels in horror when we eat ourselves. From Grendel to medieval Scottish cannibal Sawney Bean, and from the Ghuls of ancient Persia to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, tales of being consumed are both universal and universally terrifying. In this book, Kevin J. Wetmore Jr. explores the full range of monsters that eat the dead: ghouls, cannibals, wendigos, and other beings that feast on human flesh. Moving from myth through history to contemporary popular culture, Wetmore considers everything from ancient Greek myths of feeding humans to the gods, through sky burial in Tibet and Zoroastrianism, to actual cases of cannibalism in modern societies. By examining these seemingly inhuman acts, Eaters of the Dead reveals that those who consume corpses can teach us a great deal about human nature—and our deepest human fears.

Death by Corporation
Author: Brian Moench
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781792171956
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 507
Book Description
All the reviews are in! ExxonMobil, Volkswagen, and Big Pharma hate this book. Monsanto hates this book so much they are trying to genetically modify it. Big Pharma thinks this is the worst book ever written because their pills won't cure it, and the chemical corporations are trying to spray all the copies of this book with pesticides to try and kill it. McDonald's, Burger King, and Arby's are grinding this book up and feeding it to cattle. Wall Street CEOs are throwing this book off the decks of their yachts. If he could read, Donald Trump would build a wall around this book, because it contains facts. And the public will definitely hate what's in this book, which is exactly why they need to read it.Businesses, especially large corporations, are becoming more and more controlling influences in the global economy, in governments, and in public policy throughout the world. In fact, corporations have become almost soulless monsters in the singular pursuit of profit, perpetrating, even feeding off human misery, threatening every aspect of human life--the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the health care we receive, and even the survival of humankind itself. Dr. Brian Moench reviews the historic and current inhumane behavior of well known corporations, offering shocking detail and insights about the pharmaceutical, chemical, financial, pesticide, biotech, food processing, lead, gun, asbestos, and fossil fuel industries. A common denominator among them is that despite scientific and empirical evidence of the danger and lethality of their products, these industries successfully fought off meaningful regulation for many decades, and many are still succeeding today. Why is it that corporations run by seemingly accomplished and talented, if not admirable people, end up behaving like psychopathic, Frankenstein monsters, where profit eclipses all other considerations, including the literal survival of the human population? In today's world, with the global reach of corporations, and their technological capability for destruction, those unrestrained pathologic urges are hurtling us all toward consequences unimaginable, and a future irredeemable. What must we do to save ourselves before its too late?
