Many of the haikus and other shorter poems can be used as affirmations and mantras for meditation.

A Book of Revelations? Wouldn't it have been better called "The Book of Mysteries"? If you like beating your head against a wall, The Book of Revelation is for you.

The single most important question in life will be answered when we die: "Will I make it through to the other side-on the good side?" This one question-even if we have ridiculed it, even if we have tried to ignore it-will suddenly claim the attention of our entire being: "Am I saved? Am I going to heaven? Or am I going..." Don't wait until it is too late!If there is a way to be saved how foolish it would be to die without seeking it! And yet it is equally foolish to try living without the One who provides both hope and guarantee of rescue. Jesus Christ is not just the way to heaven, He is the only way to live a heavenly life down here.Salvation Basics brings answers to humanity's most pressing questions: Why do I need to be saved?How can I get to heaven?How can I get saved?How can I be sure I'm saved?How can I stay saved?How do I live now that I am saved?What are my first steps? Would you like to become a lover of God? Then, first allow Jesus Christ to love you! These are His answers...

The PACE System: An Expert Consulting System for Nursing provides a case study of the research, design, implementation, and commercial distribution of this decision support system. Beginning with a summary of PACE's twenty year development and its start as a university-based system, the author contrasts the original system with its current version to give a concrete understanding of its evolution. Further chapters discuss issues in the initial development of the knowledge base; the specific activities and efforts needed to acquire, maintain, and manage the knowledge base; how the network is maintained. The implementation, distribution, and subsequent validation of the entire clinical system is reviewed. Principles and lessons from the development of PACE are analyzed with the hope that today's researchers and developers will glean useful information from these earlier efforts.

"In a terrifically impressive collection of short short-fictions, Steve Evans takes us on a tour of the metaphorical sinkholes of suburbia. Via his observant eye and febrile imagination, we behold the mischievous and manic, the tawdry and tragic, and more. We come upon familiar scenes that then glow in a broadband delivery of hyper-realism. Second-hand books become a successful stalking strategy. A private letter-burning becomes a communal cleansing. In a final afternoon tea, a potential inheritance is consumed in gold-leaf-infused cakes. A deposit-secured wedding cake, a promised book of window paintings, a normal Bay-City tram ... never arrive." ~ Moya Costello, author of 'The Office as a Boat: a chronicle'
