It is the most pitiful thing. Verschoyle's blood mounts to his face. ' "Won't you shake hands with me?" asks he. "Would you shake hands with such as me?" returns she with a hard, forced little smile, sadder than any tears. "Miss Royce! I wish you would not speak to me like that!" exclaims Anthony, his manhood rising in arms. Taking her hand in spite of her, he holds it firmly, and with the usual warmth that one would show to a friend. Poor, poor little soul! God help her! "Do you think I judge you?" says he. "I judge him." "No." She puts up one hand quietly. "No, I suppose you cannot see it... but if he is not, in my sight, the most righteous man on earth, he is certainly--the dearest! " She turns and goes quietly to the open window; as she steps into the veranda she looks back. "You will burn it, I think," says she. "If you don't--you know the consequences." Verschoyle shakes his head. "Oh yes--you will! you will!" Moving away, a last word comes from her: "Of course you will." She disappears in the night. CHAPTER XVI. "Where are thy terrors, Conscience? Where thy justice?" SHE is gone, and Anthony is left alone, the letter still within his grasp. For a long time he stands motionless, forgetful of the fact that he is standing, gazing with frowning brows into the fire. What an infernal scoundrel! His mind seems a blank but for this one thought. It seems to swallow up all others. What, indeed, is there to think of but Fenton's...

Excerpt from A Point of Conscience, Vol. 2 of 3 The day is waning, and already the stall holders are able to say to themselves that undoubtedly the bazaar has been a success. And, indeed, it would have ended without a hitch anywhere, but for Carry - poor Carry, who, as a rule, only tumbles into one catastrophe to find another.

Neuroscience has made considerable progress in figuring out how the brain works. We know much about the molecular-genetic and biochemical underpinnings of sensory and motor functions. Recent neuroimaging work has opened the door to investigating the neural underpinnings of higher-order cognitive functions, such as memory, attention, and even free will. In these types of investigations, researchers apply specific stimuli to induce neural activity in the brain and look for the function in question. However, there may be more to the brain and its neuronal states than the changes in activity we induce by applying particular external stimuli. In Volume 2 of Unlocking the Brain, Georg Northoff addresses consciousness by hypothesizing about the relationship between particular neuronal mechanisms and the various phenomenal features of consciousness. Northoff puts consciousness in the context of the resting state of the brain thereby delivering a new point of view to the debate that permits very interesting insights into the nature of consciousness. Moreover, he describes and discusses detailed findings from different branches of neuroscience including single cell data, animal data, human imaging data, and psychiatric findings. This yields a unique and novel picture of the brain, and will have a major and lasting impact on neuroscientists working in neuroscience, psychiatry, and related fields.

Excerpt from Point of Conscience, Vol. 3 of 3 'And now the heaven is dark, and bright, and loud With wind, and starry drift and moon and cloud, And night's cry rings in straining sheet and shroud: What help is ours if hope like yours be none?' 'After all, Anthony, I find I must leave here this evening. Horrid grind, but can't be helped. A telegram from a lawyer-fellow of mine.' This is a distinct lie, but even the best of us lie sometimes - distinctly! 'My dear fellow, I'm so sorry.'
