Time's Last Gift by Philip José Farmer Pdf

Twenty-first-century scientists make shocking discoveries on an expedition to the prehistoric age in the Hugo Award–winner’s “mystery within a mystery” (Wired). In 2070 AD, anthropologist John Gribardsun assembles a team of scientists to travel back in time to the prehistoric world of 12,000 BC. Their unprecedented mission—one that could never be repeated—is to learn about the primitive Magdalenian culture. They are willing to risk anything to finally uncover the origins of human civilization. But they could never have imagined what their findings reveal . . . or the effects they will have on the future. After emerging from their timeship, the other members of the crew begin to suspect something out of the ordinary about their enigmatic leader. As Gribardsun adapts to their primitive surroundings with remarkable ease, it is almost as if he belongs . . . Time’s Last Gift is set in Philip José Farmer’s expansive fantasy world that interweaves the lives of Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper, James Bond, Flash Gordon, and other larger-than-life characters.

The Last Gift of Time by Carolyn G. Heilbrun Pdf

From the author of Writing a Woman's Life comes an inspirational reflection on aging and the gift of life in your 70s and beyond. When she was young, distinguished author and critic Carolyn Heilbrun solemnly vowed to end her life when she turned seventy. But on the advent of that fateful birthday, she realized that her golden years had been full of unforeseen pleasures. Now, the astute and ever-insightful Heilbrun muses on the emotional and intellectual insights that brought her "to choose each day for now, to live." There are reflections on her new house and her sturdy, comfortable marriage; sweet solitude and the pleasures of sex at an advanced age; the fascination with e-mail and the joy of discovering unexpected friends. Even the encroachments of loss, pain, and sadness that come with age cannot spoil Heilbrun's moveable feast. They are merely the price of bountiful living.

Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman Pdf

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “This is the most important book ever written about time management.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of WorkLife What if you stopped trying to do everything, so that you could finally get around to what counts? Nobody needs to be told there isn’t enough time. Whether we’re starting our own business, or trying to write a novel during our lunch break, or staring down a pile of deadlines as we’re planning a vacation, we’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and ceaseless struggle against distraction. We’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient and life hacks to optimize our days. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the question of how best to use our ridiculously brief time on the planet, which amounts on average to about four thousand weeks. Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern obsession with “getting everything done,” Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing that many of the unhelpful ways we’ve come to think about time aren’t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we’ve made as individuals and as a society—and that we can do things differently. Embrace your limits. Change your life. Make your four thousand weeks count.

Filled with practical advice on responding to the requests of the dying and helping them prepare emotionally and spiritually for death, Final Gifts shows how we can help the dying person live fully to the very end.

The Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author boldly reimagines the Jules Verne classic Around the World in Eighty Days in this outrageous sci-fi fantasy. The famous adventurer Phileas Fogg was not at all what he seemed—and his legendary journey was far more remarkable than previous accounts let on.

Now Fogg himself recounts what really happened behind the scenes of his trip around the world as he executes a major phase of the Eridanean war. Readers will discover the true origins of Fogg, Passepartout, Captain Nemo, and other Jules Verne characters. The Other Log of Phileas Fogg is set in Philip José Farmer’s expansive fantasy world where Sherlock Holmes, James Bond, Flash Gordon, and other larger-than-life heroes all intersect.
