Wait Until Sunset
In 1941, John Paquette decided to enlist in the U.S. Army to fulfill his one-year military obligation. He planned to enter college on a football scholarship after he completed his service. The Japanese had other plans and after December 7, 1941, John found that he was in the army for the duration. Trained to fly C-47 transports, John found himself in the South Pacific for 18 months and won the Distinguished Flying Cross and 16 Air Medals. After the war he returned home, raised a family, and lived an honorable life. Only in recent years has he felt the need to examine his life and try to find patterns and meaning within it. This book is about the search for that meaning. The Greeks believed that only at sunset could the day be evaluated. Only at the end of life, could its significance be appreciated. Standard edition with Black & White photos, maps, and illustrations.
Tsetse Biology and Ecology
Domestic livestock in Africa are of importance not only as a source of milk and meat but also as a source of animal traction enabling farmers to cultivate larger areas, with crops providing the staple foods. Trypanosomosis, a parasitic disease transmitted cyclically by the tsetse fly (Glossina spp.), is arguably still the main constraint to livestock production on the continent, preventing full use of the land to feed the rapidly increasing human population. Sleeping sickness, the disease caused in humans by species of Trypanosoma, is an important and neglected disease posing a threat to millions of people in tsetse-infested areas. Often wrongly thought of as a disease of the past, the preva...

William James on the Stream of Consciousness
William James (1842-1910) was "a towering figure in the history of American thought"without doubt the foremost psychologist this country has produced." That was the opinion of Gordon Allport, a Harvard professor and one-time president of the American Psychological Association. However, few Americans living in this third millennium have ever heard of James, despite the fact that his profound insights into the human psyche are now more urgently needed than ever before. But before James' insights can once more become available, a barrier to their reception must be removed. What barrier? The pervasive contradictions in his writings. To rescue his insights from their entangling contradictions, th...
Heart of the Mystery
William Ross is full of discontent. His life is stuck in neutral-and it's drifting out of control. He has an ex-wife who disdains him, parents that he avoids, and a job that he can't stand. Sympathetic friends have drifted away. Will is reduced to relying on baseball and alcohol for solace. At age forty, he's no closer to solving the problems of being a "grown up" than he's ever been. A conversation with an old friend leads him on a strange exploration of forces that shaped him, and continue to influence him to the present day. William uncovers uncomfortable truths about his family-and about himself. He learns of the invisible forces that shaped his choices in ways that he never imagined. He tries to find a way out of his discontent. Heart of the Mystery explores some of the most basic questions about our individual lives. What should we keep from the past? What should we throw away? How can we find fulfillment and happiness? This first novel by Robert E. Burtt explores these perplexing issues and comes to a surprising conclusion.
