The death of man is an economy of the life of man. In this book the reader is made to realize that death is slight and has nothing in its nature to hurt any living soul. All the scares associated with death are as a result of man's instinctive fear of the unknown. All that the reader needs to know to be able to live above his unfounded fear of death are compressed in this book. Death is herein unmasked at last, that every living soul might live his life in peace since he is now aware, through this book, that he is ever out of reach of death, that death has no power over the living, but only over the dead. This is a must-read piece for whoever prices peace of mind far above all other things.

When the end of life makes its inevitable appearance, people should be able to expect reliable, humane, and effective caregiving. Yet too many dying people suffer unnecessarily. While an "overtreated" dying is feared, untreated pain or emotional abandonment are equally frightening. Approaching Death reflects a wide-ranging effort to understand what we know about care at the end of life, what we have yet to learn, and what we know but do not adequately apply. It seeks to build understanding of what constitutes good care for the dying and offers recommendations to decisionmakers that address specific barriers to achieving good care. This volume offers a profile of when, where, and how Americans die. It examines the dimensions of caring at the end of life: Determining diagnosis and prognosis and communicating these to patient and family. Establishing clinical and personal goals. Matching physical, psychological, spiritual, and practical care strategies to the patient's values and circumstances. Approaching Death considers the dying experience in hospitals, nursing homes, and other settings and the role of interdisciplinary teams and managed care. It offers perspectives on quality measurement and improvement, the role of practice guidelines, cost concerns, and legal issues such as assisted suicide. The book proposes how health professionals can become better prepared to care well for those who are dying and to understand that these are not patients for whom "nothing can be done."

This book delves into the natural law that starts off where the Law of Economy of Life i.e. Death must have exhausted itself on a transiting soul.The reader is gradually, but imperceptibly, led into embracing reincarnation as a divine principle that irrefutably serves to prove the existence of God, to substantiate His perfect character, and exonerate Him from the injustice of partiality.The utility value of a deep understanding of this Law of Reincarnation as it affects the interpersonal life of the earthly men is such that every human will eventually tend to relate with every other human out of duty, to the best of his humour, love and care, towards an ever-lasting universal brotherhood, peace and harmony.

Anne Case and Angus Deaton explain the overwhelming surge in these deaths and shed light on the social and economic forces that are making life harder for the working class. As the college educated become healthier and wealthier, adults without a degree are literally dying from pain and despair. Case and Deaton tie the crisis to the weakening position of labor, the growing power of corporations, and a rapacious health-care sector that redistributes working-class wages into the pockets of the wealthy. This critically important book paints a troubling portrait of the American dream in decline, and provides solutions that can rein in capitalism's excesses and make it work for everyone.

Life on earth is currently approaching what has been called the sixth mass extinction, also known as the Holocene or anthropocene extinction. Unlike the previous five, this extinction is due to the destructive practices of a single species, our own. Up to 50% of plant and animal species face extinction by the year 2100, as well as 90% of the world’s languages. Biocultural diversity is a recent appellation for thinking together the earth’s biological, cultural and linguistic diversity, the related causes of their extinctions and the related steps that need to be taken to ensure their sustainability. This book turns to the work of Jacques Derrida to propose a notion of ‘general ecology’ as a way to respond to this loss, to think the ethics, ontology and epistemology at stake in biocultural sustainability and the life and death we differentially share on earth with its others. It articulates an appreciation of the ecological and biocultural stakes of deconstruction and provokes new ways of thinking about a more just sharing of the earth.

The Law of Karma, as a natural law, has become a rather trite concept, having been exhaustively over-romanticized, albeit superficially, through the ages and throughout all civilizations the world over. This Law of Karma is otherwise known as the principle of sowing and reaping, of give-and-take, of action and reaction, of reciprocal actions, of as-you-lay-your-bed-so-you-lie-on-it etc. In this paltry piece, a lot is succinctly condensed and compressed therein to further educate the human race on the hidden force back of human deeds and misdeeds with their attendant irreversible effects. It is our candid submission here that if any reader could go through the inner whisperings imprinted herein, he will fain think twice before ever taking any step to avenge himself, no matter the gravity of the wrong anyone might do to his person.

Introchops, as a title, is an acronym derived from INTROduction, The Law of CHange and The Law of OPpositeS - the first three chapters of a 37-chapter book wherein I have attempted to interpret the immanent divine principles that guide and sustain all of existence. Introchops introduces to the reader the natural laws as Laws of God that share the same absolute attributes with God Himself. While the laws themselves do not change, the Law of Change makes change a permanent feature of all other things that be. In chapter three, i.e. The Law of Opposites, there is a reinforcement of the eternal truth that nothing exists without its opposite, except God and His Laws i.e. the natural laws. The principles embedded in the laws are applied to the day-to-day human experiences towards a holistic insight into a definitive resolution of all the vicissitudes of human existence.

The Body Economic revises the intellectual history of nineteenth-century Britain by demonstrating that political economists and the writers who often presented themselves as their literary antagonists actually held most of their basic social assumptions in common. Catherine Gallagher demonstrates that political economists and their Romantic and early-Victorian critics jointly relocated the idea of value from the realm of transcendent spirituality to that of organic "life," making human sensations--especially pleasure and pain--the sources and signs of that value. Classical political economy, this book shows, was not a mechanical ideology but a form of nineteenth-century organicism, which put the body and its feelings at the center of its theories, and neoclassical economics built itself even more self-consciously on physiological premises. The Body Economic explains how these shared views of life, death, and sensation helped shape and were modified by the two most important Victorian novelists: Charles Dickens and George Eliot. It reveals how political economists interacted crucially with the life sciences of the nineteenth century--especially with psychophysiology and anthropology--producing the intellectual world that nurtured not only George Eliot's realism but also turn-of-the-century literary modernism.

“Timely and important . . . It should be our North Star for the recovery and beyond.” —Hillary Clinton “Sperling makes a forceful case that only by speaking to matters of the spirit can liberals root their belief in economic justice in people’s deepest aspirations—in their sense of purpose and self-worth.” —The New York Times When Gene Sperling was in charge of coordinating economic policy in the Obama White House, he found himself surprised when serious people in Washington told him that the Obama focus on health care was a distraction because it was “not focused on the economy.” How, he asked, was the fear felt by millions of Americans of being one serious illness away from financial ruin not considered an economic issue? Too often, Sperling found that we measured economic success by metrics like GDP instead of whether the economy was succeeding in lifting up the sense of meaning, purpose, fulfillment, and security of people. In Economic Dignity, Sperling frames the way forward in a time of wrenching change and offers a vision of an economy whose guiding light is the promotion of dignity for all Americans.

Economies of Death: Economic Logics of Killable Life and Grievable Death examines the economic logic involved in determining whose lives and deaths come to matter and why. Drawing from eight distinct case studies focused on the killability and grievability of certain humans, animals, and environmental systems, this book advances an intersectional theory of economies of death. A key feature of late-modern capitalism is its tendency to economically order certain human and nonhuman lives and environments, while appropriating and commodifying certain bodies and spaces in the process. Spanning the social sciences and humanities in its contributions and scope, each chapter shows how living beings and places are stripped down to the calculus of their end, with profound ethical and political implications for these entities and the world around them. From the genocide in Cambodia to the way some animals are considered ‘pets’ and others ‘food’; from September 11, 2001 and Afghanistan to the politics of redemption for prisoners and ex-racehorses in Kentucky, these case studies draw from and develop an enriched understanding of bio- and necropolitics, posthumanism, killability and grievability. In drawing together the objectification of humans, animals and environments (and the power-laden hierarchies that maintain this objectification), this volume highlights how death across these subjects informs and responds to broader geo-economic processes. This book aims to examine the reach of economies of death across such diverse subjects, challenging readers to consider the every-day calculus they make in determining whose lives mean more and why.
