Up until now; Dr. Ware has lived a simple; reclusive life as a forensic doctor. But when bizarre corpses show up on his doorstep; and the ministry of death imposes new; demanding guidelines; the good doctor will learn there is much more to the world around him than he ever bargained for.With art by one of serbiarsquo;s leading and most prolific artists comes an Edward-Gorey-acid-nightmare full of transhumanism; gore; and nightmarish delight.

Invaluable Perspective on Who We Were After 9/11By David MarlattWhen the competition for a 9/11 memorial was announced less than 2 years after the attacks. the site itself was still being cleaned up. wounds were still open. foreign wars were building. the drama was still unfolding. There was a lively debate whether a competition to design a memorial without historical perspective or societal consensus was simply too soon. Jettisoning itself into this stew of raw emotions. the competition drew about 5200 entries. more entries than any other design competition in history. and as a result. it offers us today a fascinating time capsule that captures who we were and what we were thinking shortly after those events that instantly changed our world. The actual winning entry is not relevant to this book; the real story is (stories are) the manner in which the events of 9/11 are reflected in the 5000+ "mirrors" that are the entries.Using a very personal first person style. Les Levine has organized the entries by themes such as "memorials That Move." "Imagining Beyond Boundaries." "Memorial Imaging." and others. He provides personal commentary and excerpts of interviews he conducted with many of the designers. Through this exploration of how 9/11 should be memorialized (some cliche and some highly original). we understand and appreciate the complexity of our reaction to it as a society. Thanks to this book. we can see ourselves at that moment through the creativity of these artists. architects and others who offered their own distillations of that day. and perhaps it is this virtual time capsule of 5000 ideas with their companion guide that form a true and durable 9/11 memorial.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. With an undeniable passion and appreciation of this historic event ...By Ben BakasWith an undeniable passion and appreciation of this historic event. the author has painstakingly organized. assembled. and shed light on some of the more intriguing and unusual ideas that resulted from the 9/11 Memorial Competition. Some of the concepts presented are rather far-fetched and unrealistic while others are very thought provoking and engaging. As an architect and designer. I truly appreciate the care that was taken to research and prepare this compendium of unique memorial ideas. A must read for anyone searching for hope and inspiration and interested in seeing how others cope with tremendous loss via expressions through design.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Dedication of Heart and Soul to a Most Revered UndertakingBy Big AlIn all fairness. you dont have enough stars for me to rate this book. That is simply because Mr. Levine. in his many months of research in writing this book. selected me. one of the 5.201 World Trade Center Memorial Site designers from around the world. to be one of the 180 designers that he included in the book. I know what went into his effort. which is a passionate extension of what each of the designers went through.
