The Army's Germ Warfare Tests over Populated Areas

In the 1970s, Americans learned that for decades they had been unsuspecting guinea pigs in a series of astonishing experiments conducted by the U.S. Army. Military researchers had been secretly spraying clouds of bacteria over populated areas in order to study America's vulnerability to biological weapons. No precautions were taken to protect the millions of people exposed, despite known risks to their health.

The Art and Folklore of Fortune-Telling with Playing Cards

“Ye are twenty-five cards.Become twenty-five devilsEnter into the body, into the blood, into the soul .”So begins a nineteenth century Italian charm making use of a small deck of playing cards. This brief-but-richly drawn book explores the practice of divination by playing cards—known as cartomancy. It reveals the “secrets in plain sight” which hide within the pips, kings, queens, and jokers of a standard deck. Explore one method of divination in-depth as you meet the “fifty-four devils”—the symbolic spirits of each card—and learn about invoking ancestral blessings for card readings, the folklore of playing cards, and how to relate fairy tales to a spread along the way.-From the back cover

The Science Beyond the Controversy

Some people suffer from chronic, debilitating disorders for which no conventional treatment brings relief. Can marijuana ease their symptoms? Would it be breaking the law to turn to marijuana as a medication? There are few sources of objective, scientifically sound advice for people in this situation. Most books about marijuana and medicine attempt to promote the views of advocates or opponents. To fill the gap between these extremes, authors Alison Mack and Janet Joy have extracted critical findings from a recent Institute of Medicine study on this important issue, interpreting them for a general audience. Marijuana As Medicine? provides patientsâ€"as well as the people who care for themâ€"with a foundation for making decisions about their own health care. This empowering volume examines several key points, including: Whether marijuana can relieve a variety of symptoms, including pain, muscle spasticity, nausea, and appetite loss. The dangers of smoking marijuana, as well as the effects of its active chemical components on the immune system and on psychological health. The potential use of marijuana-based medications on symptoms of AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and several other specific disorders, in comparison with existing treatments. Marijuana As Medicine? introduces readers to the active compounds in marijuana. These include the principal ingredient in Marinol, a legal medication. The authors also discuss the prospects for developing other drugs derived from marijuana's active ingredients. In addition to providing an up-to-date review of the science behind the medical marijuana debate, Mack and Joy also answer common questions about the legal status of marijuana, explaining the conflict between state and federal law regarding its medical use. Intended primarily as an aid to patients and caregivers, this book objectively presents critical information so that it can be used to make responsible health care decisions. Marijuana As Medicine? will also be a valuable resource for policymakers, health care providers, patient counselors, medical faculty and studentsâ€"in short, anyone who wants to learn more about this important issue.

The World of the Supernatural

"Divine Magic traces the history of mysteries and superstitions, miracles and mysticism, magic and wizardry. Drawing together tales of the supernatural across time and space, Andre and Lynette Singer make comparisons between stories from across the world, and consider the contemporary relevance of ancient beliefs. Why do reports of miraculous and unnatural events persist in an age when scientific rationality dominates our lives? Do miracles really happen? Have witches ever existed, and does medieval witchcraft have anything in common with modern African witchcraft, or with contemporary cults in Europe and the United States?" "In considering the different aspects of the supernatural - agents of good and evil: gods and goddesses, angels and saints, the devil, demons and vampires; superstitions, fortune-telling, sorcery, alchemy, ghosts and necromancers, impossible creatures and extraordinary events - Divine Magic provides the first truly accessible, thoroughly documented analysis of the supernatural."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Paperback (1 to 2 lbs)

Volume I of The Complete Sherlock Holmes starts with Holmes's first appearance. A Study in Scarlet, a chilling murder novel complete with bloodstained walls and cryptic clues, followed by the baffling The Sign of Four, which introduces Holmes's cocain problem and Watson's future wife. The story collections The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes feature such renowned tales as "A Scandal in Bohemia", "The Red-Headed League", and "The Musgrave Ritual. Tired of writing stories about Holmes, his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, killed him off at the end of "The Final Problem", the last tale in The Memoirs. But the public outcry was so great that eight years later he published the masterful The Hound of the Baskervilles, which supposedly takes place before Holmes's death.
