The Control Of Nature
by John McpheeThese three essays center around man's influence on nature and how it (nature) fights back. The First essay centers on New Orleans and how man's influence has contributed to it's now demise. Though written in 1989, Mcphee's research pretty much describes how Katrina, or in the case of the book, a theoretical storm, could have been made much less destructive had development been much less. The second article discusses efforts in Iceland to cool lava with saltwater and stop the destruction of a town. The third describes Los Angeles's expansion and possible demise due to run off and mud slides from the San Gabriel mountains. His premise in all three articles basically is, nature will ultimately have the last word in it's ultimate design.
Christ the Answer
by Father SullivanFather Peter Sullivan in Christ the Answer presents a Catholic apologetic for why Jesus Christ is the answer for people in the modern world. He begins his discussion by explaining the philosophical, scientific, rational and ontological reasons for the existence of God. After this, he explains why Christ is God by exploring the truth of the gospels and the veracity of the gospel writers. In his exegesis, he discusses the unique qualities of Christ, His own revelation of His divinity and the nature of His death and resurrection. These points further point to Christ's divinity. Sullivan's ends his discussion by presenting reasons why belief in Christ and following His teachings will help to solve humankind's existential crisis and moral decay. In support of this premise, he discusses the modern day occurrences in Fatima and Lourdes. This book examines the reasons for unbelief and provides rational explanations. His extensive footnotes and references substantiate his points and provide readers with ways to get additional information. Even though this work is scholastic, it is written in a straightforward manner so that non-academic readers are able to understand the material. In addition, he gives study outlines and summaries for each chapter to help readers better navigate the content. For more sophisticated readers, the work ends with two appendixes on science and God. Even though this book is written by a Catholic, much of its content is of interest and of value to non-Catholic readers as well.

Forever Ours: Real Stories of Immortality and Living from a Forensic Pathologist
by Janis Amatuzio[From the Book Jacket] As a physician, forensic pathologist, and coroner for several Minnesota counties, I have had the extraordinary privilege of caring for families and their loved ones when death comes suddenly, unexpectedly, or traumatically. My job is to speak for the dead, to solve the mystery of "What happened?" However, I have occasionally been faced with mysteries I cannot solve or explain. These experiences always baffle me, partly because as a scientist I seek to reach a reasonable degree of medical certainty, a rational explanation. But I have come to realize that for some experiences there is no explanation, just a deep knowing that I have encountered the Divine. - JANIS AMATUZIO, MD

The Year of the Intern
by Robin CookThe nurse is desperate. "Dr. Peters, the patient has stopped breathing and he doesn't have any pulse." "I'm on my way." Dr. Peters, in his fifteenth day of internship, is running again. True, he has been trained to run, through high school, the Ivy League, and a prestigious eastern medical school. Now he has run all the way to Hawaii for his year as an intern. He has run away from the pressure and competition of the mainland medical system. He is tired-tired and scared. And with good reason. After two weeks on call, his exhausted nervous system is in rebellion. Worse yet, three years of the best medical training this country has to offer have taught him too little of practical value. He knows less than a nurse about medication; his surgical knots won't hold; all his knowledge about Schwartzman reaction and other esotérica is useless in the practical hurly-burly of daily hospital life. As for the man who has stopped breathing- "What time did he die?" Peters asks the nurse. "He died when you pronounced him dead, Doctor." Some parts of Hawaii do not disappoint. The climate and the girls are joyful. But in his attempt to grow as a doctor, Peters on his own. As posstesor of a medical degree he is called "Doctor" he is a stage prop, a human mechanism holding retractors through endless operations, staring at the back of the surgeon, unable to see, to learn. On the ward, senior doctors see to it that Peters does the work-ups-fills out charts, draws blood, the "scut" work-and handles night calls. Thus Peters alternates between frustrating days and panic-filled nights. In the emergency room it is much the same. Amid the banality of common colds, backaches, and surfing lacerations, Peters delivers a baby, handles the multiple wreckage of an automobile accident, and deals as best he can with patients who need years of psychiatric care rather than a few hurried minutes with an intern.
