Corridor O was a suite of rooms in an aging hospital that no longer exists. The novel is a brutal work, in the sense that death from malignant disease is brutal. The book has, however, a mesmerizing yet macabre beauty. The march of cancer cells across the field of a microscope can have the vibrant radiance of a stained glass window.In the beginning of the story, Jack Fleming,M.D. immerses himself in his work as a clinical oncologist. He is able to tolerate the pain and suffering afflicting his patients by keeping intellectual distance from them. But then Dr. Fleming himself develops an illness. During his convalescence, he is forced to confront the reality of what is happening to his patients on Corridor O.Dr. Fleming attempts to find some theological or philosophical justification for the events depicted in this book. Unable to make a leap into faith, Fleming is consumed by the despair he is forced to witness.Corridor O leads to conclusions perhaps difficult to accept. The taste of the forbidden fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil can leave a bitter taste indeed.Jack Fleming was a talented young physician who ventured too far into the darkness. Only the sympathetic reader can decide if his story deserves to be told.
Panoramic, authentic, explosively dramatic—this is the breathtaking new series The First Americans, which began with Book I, Beyond The Sea Of Ice. Now the heroic great hunter Torka, his woman Lonit, and his adopted son Karana emerge from a land forbidden to all men, a land where mountains walk and spirits speak. Across the fierce glacial tundra Torka leads his people—survivors of a horrifying natural disaster—to a winter camp where many bands gather to hunt the great mammoth. There he and his followers encounter an evil more dangerous than the wild lands—the magic man called Navahlk, who vows cruel destruction of the bold hunter Torka. To survive they must draw upon the courage of one brave boy who will grow to manhood and see with his mind’s eye where the sun’s light has led them—to the dawn of man on the American continent.

This book explores the historical interconnections between Bengal, Burma, and Yunnan (China), and views the corridor as a transregion that exhibits mobility, connectivity and diversity as well as place-based ecogeological uniqueness. With a focus on the concept of corridor geographies that have shared human and environmental histories beyond sharply demarcated territorial sovereignties of modern individual nation-states, it presents the variety and complexity of premodern and modern pathways, corridors, borders, and networks of livelihood-making, local political alliances, trade and commerce, religions, political systems, and colonial encounters. The book discusses crucial themes including environmental edgings of human-nonhuman habitats, transregional migratory routes and habitats of megafauna, elephant corridors in Yunnan–Myanmar–Bengal landscape, framing spaces between India and China, Tibetan–Myanmar corridors, transboundary river systems, narratives of a Rohingya jade trader, cross-border flow of De’ang’s fermented tea, householding in upland Laos, cultural identities, and trans-border livelihoods. Comprehensive and topical, with its wide-ranging case studies, this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of history, routes and border studies, sociology and social anthropology, South East Asian history, South Asian history, Chinese studies, environmental history, human geography, international relations, ecology, and cultural studies.
