The Last of the Time Machines & It's Paradise, by God!
Published by CUSTOM BOOK PUBLICATIONSThe Last of the Time Machines describes a machine that can pick up traces of the earth's atmosphere 'recorded' on its surroundings - as in a tape-recorder - but to use it one must work in real time. Moreover, travel in it is limited by modern construction and to those places it can reach, so it must be provided with wheels and a scissor-lift to raise it to upper storeys. With miniaturization anyone can have one, and the police use it for solving crimes. But this creates such chaos on the roads that it is finally banned, except for its inventor, who is allowed to keep his own, using it for fulltime research into his two major questions about the past. In It's Paradise, by God! angels in Heaven - incarnations of historical figures - must repeatedly go down to Earth to play through past history, or God, The Old Man, will become upset. They try to revolt by 'learning their parts' wrongly, but God tricks them with a special entertainment he has devised.

The Image of Christ in Russian Literature
Vladimir Nabokov complained about the number of Dostoevsky's characters "sinning their way to Jesus." In truth, Christ is an elusive figure not only in Dostoevsky's novels, but in Russian literature as a whole. The rise of the historical critical method of biblical criticism in the nineteenth century and the growth of secularism it stimulated made an earnest affirmation of Jesus in literature highly problematic. If they affirmed Jesus too directly, writers paradoxically risked diminishing him, either by deploying faith explanations that no longer persuade in an age of skepticism or by reducing Christ to a mere argument in an ideological dispute. The writers at the heart of this study underst...
A History of Organ Transplantation
A History of Organ Transplantation is a comprehensive and ambitious exploration of transplant surgery—which, surprisingly, is one of the longest continuous medical endeavors in history. Moreover, no other medical enterprise has had so many multiple interactions with other fields, including biology, ethics, law, government, and technology. Exploring the medical, scientific, and surgical events that led to modern transplant techniques, Hamilton argues that progress in successful transplantation required a unique combination of multiple methods, bold surgical empiricism, and major immunological insights in order for surgeons to develop an understanding of the body's most complex and mysteriou...
