Greg Goode, "Real-World Nonduality: Reports From The Field"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 199935351X | EPUB | pages: 192 | 0.5 mb
Eleven people tell us how the 'direct path' approach as described by Sri Atmananda Krishna Menon (1883 -1959) became woven into their daily lives. In these essays you will find a mirror of your own journey. None of the writers are claiming enlightenment or liberation and yet we can each find something in these essays to learn from and identify with.The writers explain in engaging detail how this approach enriched and refreshed their enquiry and their established practice, be it Sufism, Buddhism, Christianity, Western philosophy, Advaita Vedanta or 'new age'. As Greg Goode writes in the introduction to Real-World Nonduality, "Readers may find it a useful springboard to look at nonduality from different angles or learn that someone else is experiencing the same issues they are going through"

Tim Whitmarsh, "Reading Heliodorus' Aethiopica"
English | ISBN: 0198792549 | 2022 | 320 pages | EPUB | 777 KB
Heliodorus' Aethiopica (Ethiopian Story) is the latest, longest, and greatest of the ancient Greek romances. It was hugely admired in Byzantium, and caused a sensation when it was rediscovered and translated into French in the 16th century: its impact on later European literature (including Shakespeare and Sidney) and art is incalculable. As with all post-classical Greek literature, its popularity dived in the 19th century, thanks to the influence of romanticism. Since the 1980s, however, new generations of readers have rediscovered this extraordinary late-antique tale of adventure, travel, and love. Recent scholars have demonstrated not just the complexity and sophistication of the text's formal aspects, but its daring experiments with the themes of race, gender, and religion. This volume brings together fifteen established experts in the ancient romance from across the world: each explores a passage or section of the text in depth, teasing out its subtleties and illustrating

Radiopharmaceuticals in the Management of Leptomeningeal Metastasis
English | 2022 | ISBN: 303114290X | 436 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 42 MB
This book reviews the current clinical practice of leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) diagnosis and treatment, which is predominately by intrathecal chemotherapy and/or in combination with external beam radiotherapy. LM is a refractory lethal complication of many human malignancies when neoplastic cells grow in the meninges.The use of penetrating emissions from radionuclides has the advantages of visualizing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow and ablating meninges at shallow depths and has been used to diagnose CSF flow anomalies and to treat LM. The scientific bases of using radionuclides inside human CSF and ablating LM will be discussed within the text, with results from established and completed clinical trials to explore optimal use of radionuclides to diagnose and treat LM. Many limitations of current practices of treating LM are also discussed, as well as potential avenues of overcoming these limitations. This book is an ideal guide for clinical researchers in the practice of treating leptomeningeal metastasis including radiologists, neurologists, oncologists and radiotherapists as well as their associates.
