Book Description
With its easy-to-read and personal style, this book provides some intriguing new explanations of the physiology of death and the dying experience.--Susan Blackmore, PhD, Author of Dying to LiveDying is the last conscious experience undergone by each person. But what do the dying experience? In the last few decades a good deal of publicity has surrounded people who have been close to death and then reported intense experiences that seem to suggest a supernatural existence beyond death. Does the conscious mind somehow continue to exist after the body has passed away? Mortal Minds answers these questions.Dr. G. M. Woerlee explains how the normal functioning of the human body near death can generate beliefs in the reality of the supernatural and life after death. An anesthesiologist with more than twenty years of hospital experience, Dr. Woerlee has been struck over the years by the similarities between the body's symptoms under anesthesia and its reactions near death. Among the issues he addresses are the sensations of being disembodied that those near death often describe, the perception that mind and body are separate components of existence, whether there is such a thing as a soul, the physical effects of decreased oxygen to the brain, and the visions that the dying sometimes report, from rapturous experiences of eternal peace to diabolical dreams.While not dismissing near death experiences as mere hallucinations, Dr. Woerlee is also careful to point out that even powerful psychological impressions by themselves do not constitute scientific proof of life after death. Taking this balanced, objective stance, he succeeds in conveying a better understanding of the dying process and helping us all to realize the nature of these final experiences.G. M. Woerlee (Leiden, The Netherlands) is an anesthesiologist affiliated with the Rijnland Hospital in Leiderdorp, The Netherlands, and the author of two books on anesthesiology.

Book Description
A frustrated muse unwittingly casts a spell that materializes her in mortal form—right in front of her latest ungrateful charge. Alexandra has had it with the arrogant, unappreciative humans she is obligated to inspire. It's not a muse's job to invent ideas for them! When a flash of temper sends her own words through her latest charge's fingers, her connection to faerie is severed, entrapping her in mortal form. Surviving among the humans long enough to find her way home means relying on the mercy of her entitled, ungrateful assignment. Worse, she has to be nice to him. Even though her predicament is entirely his fault. With a looming deadline and a relentless case of writer's block, the last thing Brett needs is an uninvited houseguest. Especially one who appeared in his office out of nowhere with an amnesiac act that rings false from the get-go. But what's he supposed to do—throw her out on the street? Alexandra upends his routine and steals his writing time. But the sparks between them ignite his imagination, and soon she's all he can think about. "Allie and Brett are captivating and their chemistry is magnetic. The story is sweet, magical, and marvelously twisty." —Lightning City Book Reviews Mortal Musings is a steamy fish-out-of-water paranormal romance, where forced proximity helps turn enemies to lovers. Happily Ever After guaranteed. Download today and let the binge reading begin!
