Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - On a drizzly October night in the coastal town of Santa Cruz, California, seventeen-month-old Nevaeh Buchanan drowns. Her mother, Alyssa Buchanan, is wild with rage and regret for placing her trust in her husband, Seth Buchanan, a former pro-surfer who is in the grip of addiction. Seth is adamant that he was clean the night of Nevaeh's death, but a dirty drug test contradicts his story. His parental rights stripped and criminal charges looming, he battles to prove his innocence, love, and family devotion. Adding to the couple's grief is their five-year-old daughter, Daisy, who hasn't uttered a word since her sister's death. Alyssa turns to childhood friend and local police officer, Greg Wallace, for comfort and support. Although Greg portrays heroic devotion and justice, he inwardly swims with jealousy, narcissism, and rage. He has long despised Seth, and is more than willing to meet Alyssa's needs, needs that reach far beyond friendship.Into this complex scene steps therapist Katherine Middlebrook. Her practice consumes nearly all of her time-time that is even more precious now that her mother's cancer has returned. Although teetering on burnout, she accepts three new clients: Greg Wallace, Alyssa Buchanan, and Seth Buchanan, unaware of their intertwined history. Buried deep in Katherine's past is the loss of her own child. As therapy progresses, Katherine, Greg, Seth, and Alyssa's lives and tragedies collide, awakening old demons, leading each to question truth, loyalty, and who, if anyone, can be trusted.An award winner in the South West Writer's Contest for literary and mainstream novel, Out of Breath is an exploration of parental grief, addiction, compassion fatigue, and suicide; it's the prodigal story of grace undeserved. Salluce's expertise as a psychotherapist and grief specialist enables her to create dynamic characters that will leave you breathless as you jeer their shadow sides and cheer the heroic journeys.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This work reviews the evidence from anthropology and paleontology to support the claim of evolution science that man derives from an animal ancestor and finds both the evidence and the theses of science to be faulty and riddled with contradictions and unwarranted logical leaps of faith. Likewise, many of the tenets of creationist Christianity are found to be illogical and based upon literal readings of allegorical teachings. Both sides in the current Evolution vs. Intelligent design debate are found to be seriously deficient in truth content; this work presents a third alternative point of view, one that is both rational and religious: the possibility that Man has both an animal and a divine origin.The pendulum of thought oscillates between extremes. Having now finally emancipated herself from the shackles of theology, Science has embraced the opposite fallacy; and in the attempt to interpret Nature on purely materialistic lines, she has built up that most extravagant theory of the ages - the derivation of man from a ferocious and brutal ape. So rooted has this doctrine, in one form or another, now become, that the most Herculean efforts will be needed to bring about its final rejection. The Darwinian anthropology is the incubus of the ethnologist, a sturdy child of modern Materialism, which has grown up and acquired increasing vigour, as the ineptitude of the theological legend of Man's 'creation' became more and more apparent. It has thriven on account of the strange delusion that - as a scientist of repute puts it - 'All hypotheses and theories with respect to the rise of man can be reduced to two (the Evolutionist and the Biblical exoteric account). There is no other hypothesis conceivable'! The anthropology of the secret volumes is, however, the best possible answer to such a worthless contention.…
