Brainworms

and other surprises at the margin of the impossible

By: Albert Driedger

What is a brainworm? The word evokes possibilities; is it perhaps like an earthworm, tilling the soil and making it more fertile? Or perhaps a parasite, harvesting from an organism without care for its host’s health and well-being? The brainworm could well be a new revelation: what mysteries might be contained within a book entitled Brainworms...and Other Surprises at the Margins of the Impossible? Brainworms, a series of essays, reveals the rumblings and grumblings of an unsatiable mind confronted with infinite possibilities. Ranging from topics in clinical medicine through to its underlying molecular biology and to radiation sciences and astronomy, Brainworms contains insight and wonder about the world we live in. Chronic curiosity and scientific investigation combine to reveal often surprising connections between such unlikely combinations as Galileo’s boredom, chaos, and mental health. Or consider the relationship of fifteenth-century troubadours to modern treatment of breast cancer. Perhaps the ties among honey bees, space exploration, and epigenetics are more to your interest. Possibly, you are more intrigued by linkages of sheep to muscle memory and the microbiome. Skillfully written, in a style reminiscent of nineteenth century writers and thinkers, Brainworms is an eclectic collection of short essays along a broad topical front that was inspired by the author’s observations of life in a diverse set of scientific fields. This delightful volume documents the unexpected avenues that our brains can take in their quest to explain and appreciate the grandeur of the universe and the exciting discoveries within it. Totally unpredictable and always captivating, Brainworms offers thought-provoking insight and stimulation to the scientific and unscientific alike.

The Frey Sander Connections Germans from Russia

By: Albert Frey

This book provides the genealogical connection of the Frey, Sander and extended families. The genealogical record is traced from the late 1500’s of central Europe to the Russian Steppes near what is now Odessa Ukraine and finally to the Prairies of North America. Brief historical descriptions are included to provide some insight into the reasons why the families relocated. The major part of the book traces the ancestral lines through the years and includes church and civil records as genealogical prime sources.

Multijuralism

Manifestations, Causes, and Consequences

By: Albert Breton,Anne des Ormeaux,Katharina Pistor,Pierre Salmon

At one level of generality, multijuralism is the coexistence of two or more legal systems or sub-systems within a broader normative legal order to which they adhere, such as the existence of civil and common law systems within the EU. However, at a finer level of analysis multijuralism is a more widespread or common phenomenon and a more fluid reality than the civil law/common law distinction suggests. The papers in this study are therefore rooted in the latter frame of reference. They explore various types of multijural manifestations from the harmonizing potential of international treaties to indigenous law and the use of hard and soft pluralism. In addition, the authors consider the external events which are not part of the processes of multijural adjustment but which serve to influence these processes. Included among these important external events are European integration, the growing importance accorded to human rights, the international practice of law, the growth of the Internet, the globalization of markets and the flow of immigrants. This volume represents some of the most current thinking in the area of multijuralism and is essential reading for anyone interested in the coexistence of legal systems or sub-systems.

Estuarine Circulation

Estuarine Circulation

By: Bruce J. Neilson,Albert Kuo,John Brubaker

Estuaries exist along the edge of the oceans and seas, and are char acterized by the dilution of sea water by inflowing fresher waters. The motion and interaction of these two types of water (fresh and salt water) determine the salinity distribution within the estuary and that, in turn, affects the organisms residing there. The purpose of this vol ume is to review the status of our understanding of estuarine circu lation and how the circulation patterns affect living and nonliving resources in estuaries. For many years, the primary paradigm for estuarine circulation was the two-layered net or nontidal gravitational circulation pattern first proposed by Dr. Donald Pritchard in his studies of the James River estuary. During the last decade or so, research has focused on the many variations about this theme and the factors that control the transport processes. Many of these aspects are covered in the initial papers in this volume. Water movement, of course, is of interest be cause it transports marine organisms, sediments, and pollutants. Es tuarine circulation has a significant effect on estuarine food chains, and on the distribution and abundance of organisms, such as the American oyster, that are freely transported by the currents during larval stages. The intent is to bring together many of these topics in a single volume. This volume is dedicated to Dr. Donald W.

Racism

A Selective Bibliography with Indexes

By: Albert J. Wheeler

Of all mankinds' vices, racism is one of the most pervasive and stubborn. Success in overcoming racism has been achieved from time to time, but victories have been limited thus far because mankind has focused on personal economic gain or power grabs ignoring generosity of the soul. This bibliography brings together the literature.

Discipleship Therapy

Healthy Christians, Healthy Churches

By: Albert H. Epp

A Kansan visited the church of his ancestors in Sweden. On Sunday only ten of 800 members came to worship. The churches that gave Christianity to America are now writing our obituary--unless we avoid their pitfalls! Dr. Epp sees one hope: to "disciple" people within the church (Mt. 28:18f); that is, to train followers like Jesus did his Twelve. Chapter 1 details the crippled church. The next chapters clarify foundational aspects: salvation, "following" Christ & calculating cost. Chapters 5 to 11 accent the functional aspects of the church. Sharing the faith, shining our lights via deeds of kindness & tapping into prayer-power are themes that are underscored. The exercise of forgiveness is taught, as well as the need to relate to others in Christ-like compassion. Exciting examples punctuate each lesson. Epp, a Mennonite pastor & discipler, draws on 35 years of church experience & how he discipled 128 men at his own house. Chapter 11, The Healthy Church, asserts that churches dare not drift aimlessly. It cites Search Institute regarding the value of "family religiousness" & church educational skills. It insists that worship & Bible study are best augmented with a network of small groups where caring & accountability are experienced, where peers minister to each other. This calls for a biblical strategy. The final chapter invites all church members to consider adopting 10-year goals in areas like giving, sharing faith, praying, serving, forgiving & relating to others. A Guide for Discussion Leaders is included in the book. To order DISCIPLESHIP THERAPY, contact Stairway Discipleship, Box D, Henderson, NE 68371. 402-723-4851. Price: 12.95.
