Ditch ~ verb~ to abandon or discard; of an aircraft landing on water.Flight Manager Julie Margot has been Ditched before, but never in this sense of the word! Whilst she is well accustomed to landing at international airports around the world, the rippling waters of North Hudson Bay are a new, and utterly terrifying, destination for her and everyone else on board.Finding themselves deep within the pages of their safety manuals, Julie and her crew draw on the drills and procedures that they never dreamed they would need, evacuating everyone into rafts and setting up camp on the shore as they wait to be rescued... but will they be found before tragedy strikes?On this most bizarre of layovers a new family is forming, and even a reluctant Julie cannot avoid 'caring,' that one emotion she has worked so hard to eliminate from her life. Without 'caring,' loneliness was a comfortable place, a place where the voices were quiet; but now they are back and standing firmly in the way of her happiness, which for once, she might dare to dream she can see on the horizon...Will anyone rescue her from them...?

Bas van Bavel, "Disasters and History"
English | ISBN: 1108702112 | 2020 | 242 pages | PDF | 7 MB
Disasters and History offers the first comprehensive historical overview of hazards and disasters. Drawing on a range of case studies, including the Black Death, the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 and the Fukushima disaster, the authors examine how societies dealt with shocks and hazards and their potentially disastrous outcomes. They reveal the ways in which the consequences and outcomes of these disasters varied widely not only between societies but also within the same societies according to social groups, ethnicity and gender. They also demonstrate how studying past disasters, including earthquakes, droughts, floods and epidemics, can provide a lens through which to understand the social, economic and political functioning of past societies and reveal features of a society which may otherwise remain hidden from view. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Diagnoses in Assyrian and Babylonian Medicine: Ancient Sources, Translations, and Modern Medical Analyses By JoAnn Scurlock, Burton R. Andersen
2005 | 912 Pages | ISBN: 0252029569 | PDF | 15 MB
To date, the pathbreaking medical contributions of the early Mesopotamians have been only vaguely understood. Due to the combined problems of an extinct language, gaps in the archeological record, the complexities of pharmacy and medicine, and the dispersion of ancient tablets throughout the museums of the world, it has been nearly impossible to get a clear and comprehensive view of what medicine was really like in ancient Mesopotamia. The collaboration of medical expert Burton R. Andersen and cuneiformist JoAnn Scurlock makes it finally possible to survey this collected corpus and discern magic from experimental medicine in Ashur, Babylon, and Nineveh. Diagnoses in Assyrian and Babylonian Medicine is the first systematic study of all the available texts, which together reveal a level of medical knowledge not matched again until the nineteenth century A.D. Over the course of a millennium, these nations were able to develop tests, prepare drugs, and encourage public sanitation. Their careful observation and recording of data resulted in a description of symptoms so precise as to enable modern identification of numerous diseases and afflictions.
