Zeven miljoen patiënten wereldwijd, zeventigduizend in Nederland. De ziekte van Parkinson is even raadselachtig als ingrijpend. Het is een ziekte die veel inzicht biedt in de enorme complexiteit van de hersenen: bepaalde hersencellen sterven langzaam af, waardoor beweging, uiterlijk en gedrag veranderen. Er bestaan nog geen medicijnen tegen, maar doktoren, onderzoekers en patiënten zijn aanhoudend op zoek naar manieren om deze onvoorstelbaar verreikende ziekte te genezen. De Amerikaanse wetenschapsjournalist Jon Palfreman schreef met Hersenstormen niet alleen een toegankelijke, wetenschappelijke reis door het internationale hersenonderzoek van dit moment – waarin doorbraak en terugslag elkaar afwisselen in het offensief om de ziekte te overwinnen –, hij brengt ook de belevingswereld van de parkinsonpatiënt heel dichtbij. Palfreman verzamelde talloze ervaringen en verhalen van ‘parki’s’: van de balletdanseres die haar lichaam met een truc weer vrij kan laten bewegen tot de ‘frozen’ patiënt die geen meter loopt, maar verbluffend moeiteloos kan fietsen. Zij spreken openhartig met Palfreman omdat hij weet waarover hij het heeft: enige tijd geleden werd bij hem zelf parkinson vastgesteld. Nooit eerder verscheen een boek dat met zo veel inzicht, gevoel, precisie en kennis van zaken zowel de persoonlijke kant van Parkinson als de laatste stand van zaken in het wetenschappelijk onderzoek beschrijft. Ook de Nederlandse arts Bas Bloem speelt een rol in Hersenstormen. Zijn organisatie, ParkinsonNet heeft inmiddels al ruim 2700 professionals aan zich weten te binden, en met ParkinsonTV weet hij een grote groep patiënten te motiveren om hun ziekte zo lang mogelijk te bevechten.

Semakin hari masalahnya semakin besar," kata Ayah. Suara Ibu lebih pelan. "Mereka bukan 'masalah'-mereka anak-anak kita." "salah satu dari mereka," sahut Ayah. "Yang satu lagi berbahaya. Racun. Tapi kita tidak tahu yang mana." Bencana besar membagi zaman menjadi dua: masa Sebelum dan Setelah. Empat abad kemudian, tak ada saksi mata tersisa. Namun efeknya masih terlihat pada reruntuhan tebing, dataran hangus, dan tentu saja fenomena kelahiran para manusia kembar: pasangan kembar Alpha dan Omega. Para Alpha akan menjadi golongan elite, hidup dalam kenikmatan dan keamanan. Sementara para Omega yang lemah-karena memiliki gen mutan-diasingkan dan ditekan masyarakat Alpha. Cass dan Zach terlahir kembar, dengan kondisi fisik sama-sama sempurna. Tapi mereka tetap tak terhindar dari pemisahan. Sebab Cass punya rahasia besar: sesuatu yang menjadi kelemahan sekaligus kelebihannya. Rahasia Cass bisa mengubah kesenjangan dunia ini. Hanya saja Cass dan Zach harus memilih: akan saling mengalahkan atau bekerja sama? Dan jika salah langkah, mereka bisa berhadapan dengan kematian.

From the award-winning journalist and author, a lyrical, raw and humane investigation of dementia that explores both the journeys of the people who live with the condition and those of their loved ones After a diagnosis of dementia, Nicci Gerrard’s father, John, continued to live life on his own terms, alongside the disease. But when an isolating hospital stay precipitated a dramatic turn for the worse, Gerrard, an award-winning journalist and author, recognized that it was not just the disease, but misguided protocol and harmful practices that cause such pain at the end of life. Gerrard was inspired to seek a better course for all who suffer because of the disease. The Last Ocean is Gerrard’s investigation into what dementia does to both the person who lives with the condition and to their caregivers. Dementia is now one of the leading causes of death in the West, and this necessary book will offer both comfort and a map to those walking through it. While she begins with her father’s long slip into forgetting, Gerrard expands to examine dementia writ large. Gerrard gives raw but literary shape both to the unimaginable loss of one’s own faculties, as well as to the pain of their loved ones. Her lens is unflinching, but Gerrard honors her subjects and finds the beauty and the humanity in their seemingly diminished states. In so doing, she examines the philosophy of what it means to have a self, as well as how we can offer dignity and peace to those who suffer with this terrible disease. Not only will it aid those walking with dementia patients, The Last Ocean will prompt all of us to think on the nature of a life well lived.

*SHORTLISTED FOR THE KIRKUS REVIEW AWARDS FOR NON-FICTION & LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS FOR TRANSLATED LITERATURE* 'Extraordinary. It is about death, but I can think of few books which have such life. It shows us what love is' Max Porter, author of Grief is the Thing With Feathers and Lanny 'There is no one quite like Naja Marie Aidt' Valeria Luiselli 'Devastating, angry, challenging, fragmented and filled with the beautiful hope that the love we have for people continues into the world even after they're gone' CultureFly 'A book about death that pulses with life' The Lady 'Fragmented, poetic, informative and truthful, Aidt faces the greatest loss we can ever know with all the force of great elegy writers like Anne Carson and Denise Riley. Essential' Polly Clark, author of Larchfield and Tiger _______ "I raise my glass to my eldest son. His pregnant wife and daughter are sleeping above us. Outside, the March evening is cold and clear. 'To life!' I say as the glasses clink with a delicate and pleasing sound. My mother says something to the dog. Then the phone rings. We don't answer it. Who could be calling so late on a Saturday evening?" In March 2015, Naja Marie Aidt's 25-year-old son, Carl, died in a tragic accident. When Death Takes Something From You Give It Back is about losing a child. It is about formulating a vocabulary to express the deepest kind of pain. And it's about finding a way to write about a reality invaded by grief, lessened by loss. Faced with the sudden emptiness of language, Naja finds solace in the anguish of Joan Didion, Nick Cave, C.S. Lewis, Mallarmé, Plato and other writers who have suffered the deadening impact of loss. Their torment suffuses with her own as Naja wrestles with words and contests their capacity to speak for the depths of her sorrow. This palimpsest of mourning enables Naja to turn over the pathetic, precious transience of existence and articulates her greatest fear: to forget. The insistent compulsion to reconstruct the harrowing aftermath of Carl's death keeps him painfully present, while fragmented memories, journal entries and poetry inch her closer to piecing Carl's life together. Intensely moving and quietly devastating, this is what is it to be a family, what it is to love and lose, and what it is to treasure life in spite of death's indomitable resolve.

We tend to believe we have agency over our bodies, our minds and even our deaths. Yet emerging science challenges our assumptions of mastery: at the microscopic level, the cells in our bodies facilitate tumours and attack other cells, with life-threatening consequences. In this revelatory book, Barbara Ehrenreich argues that our bodies are a battleground over which we have little control, and lays bare the cultural charades that shield us from this knowledge. Challenging everything we think we know about life and death, she also offers hope - that we find our place in a natural world teeming with animation and endless possibility.

Eternal Traces Talented cardiologist Meryt Brownstone doesn't have the luxury of getting involved with people. When she's not in the lab pursuing her experimental work with synthetic blood, she's involved with a man: first name Uncle, last name Sam. As an ex-military officer who still works as an undercover mercenary for the U.S. government, this means personal drama is something Meryt can do without, and living under the radar is de rigueur. But the solitude of her carefully orchestrated life is broken when Dr. Rene Daniels mysteriously appears. Drawn to her blood research, he joins her in the laboratory. Meryt finds herself attracted against her better judgment and is mesmerized by his smart-aleck charm and his piercing blue eyes. Meryt's plan to avoid personal drama flies out the window as she battles her feelings and her better judgment. Love may be within her reach, but she is perplexed by Rene's odd behavior. Meryt isn't the only one with secrets and hidden agendas. When she is called to duty on a secret mission in Sudan, the adventure begins. Old secrets as well as lost ones come to light. Soon Meryt is catapulted down a mysterious path--a bloody path she may have traveled before. As Meryt is caught in a race against time and unknown enemies, her world is turned upside down when she uncovers parallels between her life and that of ancient Nubian Queen Nitocris, who fought for her homeland and for a man she loved. If Meryt can't figure out her true mission and its relationship to ancient Egypt quickly, she will be doomed to relive the same bloody ending.

From a young age, Tofik Dibi feels "it"—a spirit, or djinn, that follows him everywhere. Where "it" goes, "they" go—his classmates, his colleagues, all the people who fear and hate "it," his homosexuality. The son of Moroccan immigrants, Dibi was elected to the Dutch Parliament in 2006 at just twenty-six years old. During his six years in office, he fought for the equal rights of Dutch Muslims against a political elite that cast them as misogynists, homophobes, and, after 9/11, terrorists. But Dibi himself never came out publicly as queer—until he wrote Djinn. A bestseller upon its publication in Dutch in 2015, it tells the poignant, at times heartbreaking, story of Dibi's coming-of-age as a gay Muslim man with humor and grace. From his Amsterdam childhood to his experiences in New York City clubs and internet chatrooms to his unlikely political ascent, Djinn explores contemporary issues of race, religion, sexuality, and human rights in and beyond Europe. Yet it also promises readers who may not see themselves reflected in popular culture—like Dibi as a young man—an all-too-rare sense of visibility and recognition.

Two women's decision to save a child during WWII will have powerful reverberations over the years. Chiara Ravello is about to flee occupied Rome when she locks eyes with a woman being herded on to a truck with her family. Claiming the woman's son, Daniele, as her own nephew, Chiara demands his return; only as the trucks depart does she realize what she has done. She is twenty-seven, with a sister who needs her constant care, a hazardous journey ahead, and now a child in her charge. Several decades later, Chiara lives alone in Rome, a self-contained woman working as a translator. Always in the background is the shadow of Daniele, whose absence and the havoc he wrought on Chiara's world haunt her. Then she receives a phone call from a teenager claiming to be his daughter, and Chiara knows it is time to face up to the past.
