PERSONAL DEMON Shin looks like an ordinary high school boy, but he has a terrible secret: an alien parasite has infected his body. This mysterious creature is ruthless, deadly, and utterly indifferent to human suffering...and it is beginning to assert itself over Shin. As Shin fights for control of his body, can he also hold on to his humanity?
SILENT INVASION They arrive in silence and darkness. They descend from the skies. They have a hunger for human flesh. They are everywhere. They are parasites, alien creatures who must invade—and take control of—a human host to survive. And once they have infected their victims, they can assume any deadly form they choose: monsters with giant teeth, winged demons, creatures with blades for hands. But most have chosen to conceal their lethal purpose behind ordinary human faces. So no one knows their secret—except an ordinary high school student. Shin is battling for control of his own body against an alien parasite, but can he find a way to warn humanity of the horrors to come?

How William Harvey Discovered the Circulation of the Blood
The book offers a fresh perspective on the discovery of blood circulation, attributing its origins to William Harvey’s adherence to Aristotle’s investigative methods regarding animals. It argues that Harvey’s groundbreaking work, often viewed as purely modern, is deeply rooted in ancient philosophy. This reinterpretation not only reshapes our understanding of Harvey as an anatomist but also reevaluates Aristotle's contributions to the study of animals, highlighting the interconnectedness of their ideas in the evolution of anatomical science.
