This book is a contribution to the history of ethology-not a definitive history, but the personal view of a major figure in that story. It is all the more welcome because such a grand theme as ethology calls for a range of perspectives. One reason is the overarching scope of the subject. Two great questions about life that constitute much of biology are "How does it work (structure and function)?" and "How did it get that way (evolu tion and ontogeny)?" Ethology addresses the antecedent of "it. " Of what are we trying to explain the mechanism and development? Surely behav ior, in all its wealth of detail, variation, causation, and control, is the main achievement of animal evolution, the essential consequence of animal structure and function, the raison d' etre of all the rest. Ethology thus spans between and overlaps with the ever-widening circles of ecol ogy over the eons and the ever-narrowing focus of physiology of the neurons. Another reason why the history of ethology needs perspectives is the recency of its acceptance. For such an obviously major aspect of animal biology, it is curious how short a time-less than three decades-has seen the excitement of an active field and a substantial fraternity of work ers, the addition of professors and courses to departments and curricula in biology (still far from universal}, and the normal complement of spe cial journals, symposia, and sessions at congresses.
She had "one last drink" - for the last time. And woke up three years later. And then "THEY" told her that - "THEY" had given up on her and put her away. B7 The diagnosis was Korsakov's - "Dementia from Alcohol." B7 Two doctors had certified her as incompetent. B7 Her lawyer had joined them. B7 And her best friend had signed also. "THEY" said that her brain was toast. And that she would spend the rest of her life in institutions. And that she could, of course, CHOOSE TO HAVE A MIRACLE - and go home. She chose the miracle. Meanwhile, "THEY" were preparing to sell everything - including her home. And "THEY" had even given away her beloved dog. Then THE MIRACLE HAPPENED.. AND SHE CAME BACK! This is a story of COURAGE and PERSEVERING, and The Returning makes this story also one of Faith, Hope, and Promise. ******************** This work demonstrates vividly that miracles are alive and well, and that they happen, perhaps daily, in modern times. It also provides solid evidence that miracles can be assisted, and possibly even effected, by the use of prayers, positive affirmations, and meditations. The target audience is comprised of organizations and individuals who deal with the disabled and handicapped (particularly those with brain damage), and with those who have chronic issues stemming from accidents, alcohol, and other causes. This work demonstrates the dramatic power of prayer, in the form of meditation, in effecting healing - in this instance the healing of brain damage resulting from alcoholism. It is a true story, recorded in the actual journals kept by the author from February 2003 to December 2004. FEW PUBLICATIONS ON THE MARKET TODAY CAN COMPETE WITH MIRACLE, IN TERMS OF TRUTH, AUTHENTICITY, POWER, AND EFFECTIVENESS. IT IS A FIRST-HAND ACCOUNT - WRITTEN AS IT HAPPENED.
