Henry Marsh, en av Englands mest framstående neurokirurger, berättar här om sin långa karriär. Han har under sina trettio år i yrket räddat mångas liv, men också ödelagt andras. Hans memoarer är upplagda som en rad fallstudier och tonen är omväxlande svart, humoristisk, varm och känslosam. Marsh beskriver olika sorters hjärntumörer, alltid med utgångspunkt i en enskild människas öde. Han återger det första mötet med patienten, beskriver diagnosen, riskerna, därefter själva operationen och slutligen resultatet.

Cosa significa essere un neurochirurgo? Come ci si sente ad avere in mano le sorti di una persona, mentre ci si apre un varco tra la materia grigia che ne genera i pensieri, i sentimenti e le emozioni? E, se qualcosa va storto, come si convive con le conseguenze? È ciò che scopriremo attraverso questo audiolibro, la confessione sincera e intensa di un famoso neurochirurgo inglese che, alla luce dell'esperienza quarantennale, rievoca le vittorie nelle battaglie combattute al fianco dei pazienti, ma anche le inevitabili sconfitte, gli errori e i fallimenti.

The devastating 2019-2020 Black Summer bushfires threw the importance of our volunteer firefighters into sharp focus.

This audiobook serves as a tribute to the thousands of volunteer firies across Australia who roll up their sleeves and selflessly put their lives on the line to assist their fellow human beings.

While many books promote redistribution as an issue of fairness, Lawrence C. Marsh's Optimal Money Flow explicitly sets aside the fairness issue to argue instead that redistribution is imperative for economic efficiency, stability, and maximum economic growth. Marsh introduces his unique money flow paradigm as the replacement for other economic paradigms that have failed at addressing the situation we face today.

We need every scripture for conviction, correction, and instruction; but the scriptures that present "the things concerning himself" must have a special charm for the Christian. It is this that makes Psalm 16 so attractive, for it sets forth the moral perfections of Christ, the perfect man, as he trod the path of life through this world of sin and death.
