Because every single one of us will die, most of us would like to know what—if anything—awaits us afterward, not to mention the fate of lost loved ones. Given the nearly universal vested interest in deciding this question in favor of an afterlife, it is no surprise that the vast majority of books on the topic affirm the reality of life after death without a backward glance. But the evidence of our senses and the ever-gaining strength of scientific evidence strongly suggest otherwise.
In The Myth of an Afterlife: The Case against Life after Death, Michael Martin and Keith Augustine collect a series of contributions that redress this imbalance in the literature by providing a strong, comprehensive, and up-to-date casebook of the chief arguments against an afterlife.

This is a great slim volume about Prokofiev with photos, illustrations, sketches of costume designs, and quotes from musical scores. The book also offers a schmaltzy and highly ludicrous little epitaph about how the battle could have helped towards reconciliation between the combatabts which seems totally out of place.
Readers expecting something to the standard of Ernle Bradford's excellent The Great Siege, Malta 1565 will be sorely disappointed.. C. I usually really enjoy David Baldacci, but this book was a huge disappointment. My favorite recipes from the CROCKPOT section are Tropical Tilapia, Baked Cashew Chicken, No Flour Chocolate Lava Cake and Cheese Crisps. Everyone has had a broken heart. And now I understand Promoted Pins! The author gives a lot of specific examples and ideas for people with websites and products. His narrati
