why my wife had to die brian verity

The terrifying fact is this: Huntingtonâ ™s disease leads to physical and mental deterioration. There is no cure. It is handed down genetically, with a 1:2 chance of inheritance that cannot be determined until the disease shows itself, often not until the sufferer is in their 40s. Many do not know they have the gene or are at risk of passing it on. Those who do know, because a parent has suffered from it, may wait a lifetime before finding out whether they are safe or not. The prospects are horrific. After his first marriage failed, Brian Verity had a breakdown and married the woman who nursed him back to health. Within a few years, she began showing the signs of Huntingtonâ ™s that he had seen in other members of her family and that he had a morbid fear of. Having fallen in love with her in hospital, he now found himself repelled, fearful of his own psychological fragility and inability to cope and yet committed to protecting her from the terrible distress that lay in wait. In his view, assisted dying was her only option. Was he right? Stephen Games, who edited this book, was in contact with Brian Verity in the year before he died, and is available to talk about the raw issues raised by the author and about the wider context of the book.

After the success of How Did Long John Silver Lose His Leg?, Dennis Butts and Peter Hunt take their forensic lenses to more mysteries that have troubled readers of children s books over the centuries. Their questions range from the historical to the philosophical, some of which are puzzling, some of which are controversial:- Why does it seem there are no Nursery Rhymes before 1744?- Why did God start to die in children s books long before Nietzsche noticed it?- Why are the schoolgirls at Enid Blyton s St Clare s so horrible?- Why are there so many dead parents littering children s books?- Why does C.S. Lewis annoy so many people?The book also explains why an elephant captures Adolph Hitler, who was Biggles s great love, and whose side G.A. Henty was on in the American civil war, and delivers a plethora of erudite, entertaining answers to questions that you may not have thought of asking. And notably, of course, it reveals why William George Bunter, the Fat Owl of the Remove, was never permanently removed from Greyfriars School.

Profesori Brian Cox a Jeff Forshaw vás v tejto fascinujúcej knihe vezmú na vedeckú výpravu naprieč storočím fyziky od čias Einsteina až po Hawkinga a ešte ďalej – až k samotným hraniciam nášho poznania najzáhadnejších výtvorov prírody – čiernych dier. V srdci našej Galaxie je miesto, v ktorom dochádza k búrlivému narušeniu priestoru a času – miesto, kde sa zrážajú zákony gravitácie, kvantovej fyziky a termodynamiky, a jeho tajomstvá stále čakajú na odhalenie. Čierne diery sú 4 miliónkrát väčšie ako Slnko. Ide o prirodzené výtvory gravitácie, ktoré vznikajú, keď sa príliš veľa hmoty zrúti do primalého priestoru. A predsa, hoci ich prírodné zákony predpokladajú, nedokážeme ich opísať. Pôvodne sa dokonca tvrdilo, že neexistujú, a Einstein veril, že v ich vnútri sa skrýva koniec času. V posledných rokoch však výskum značne pokročil a objavilo sa hlboké spojenie medzi gravitáciou a kvantovou teóriou. Vďaka tejto knihe sa oboznámite s čiernymi dierami tak, ako nikdy predtým a dospejete k prekvapivému záveru, že pravda o nich môže byť ešte bizarnejšia, ako sa predpokladalo – možno nás spájajú s inými vesmírmi.

This book by the author of Why Am I Afraid to Love? contains insights on self-awareness, personal growth and communication with others. Why do people continually hide their real selves from the people around them? Why are so many so insecure and afraid to open up? The answer, explains John Powell, is that maturity is reached by communicating and interacting with others. This book considers the consequences our real self faces if no one else ever finds out what we are like. In this enduring classic, the companion to Why Am I Afraid to Love?, John Powell explains how to be more emotionally open, and shows how people adopt roles and play psychological games to protect their inner selves. The courage to be our real selves can be developed, and then we can begin to grow. Now newly designed for a fresh audience, Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am? is as relevant as it has been for twenty years. With a proven track record, it continues to speak to the needs and aspirations of people today. It is best included in self help sections of general bookshops, but also has a religious appeal.

Whether it was those who fell prey to the ravages of disease or the ill-conceived attempts to cure them, cruel punishments or the ever-swinging pendulum of religion, this book delves into them all and proves that as harsh and unpredictable as nature could be, humanity could often be much worse. Strange Ways to Die in the Tudor Age is an intriguing, morbidly fascinating and at times mildly irreverent look at the way our ancestors shuffled off this mortal coil. Perfect for history lovers and those with a penchant for the macabre alike, this book offers a safe glimpse at mortality that is sure to have readers questioning how on earth humanity has lasted this long.
