Who, really, was Sun Myung Moon, the Korean spiritual leader seen by his followers as the returning messiah? And what was his motive for spending billions in the late 20th century on a secular media empire that included The Washington Times? My meetings with him, few and brief though they were, reinforced a conclusion reached as a "participant-observer" in his media companies from 1976 to early 2013: Sun Myung Moon understood the media challenge in the United States in ways his disciples whom he charged with running those newspapers struggled to grasp. It certainly went far beyond an exercise in large-scale public relations for a new religion. What he envisioned was much more profound. After all it was the post-World War II mass media that had redefined reality for billions of people worldwide in ways that excluded God and the essence of Judeo-Christianity. This book makes no effort to proselytize or persuade in matters of faith and Divine intervention. Such for each individual is the most personal, precious and essential knowledge. No, this is simply a record what I, a journalist, saw at the "Second Coming." - R.J. Morton
Advances in Radiation Biology: Relative Radiation Sensitivities of Human Organ Systems, Part III, is the third volume of the series "Relative Radiation Sensitivities of Human Organ Systems." It presents reviews of organ systems not included in the preceding two parts (Advances in Radiation Biology, Volumes 12 and 14). The subject matter contained in the current volume is viewed through the eyes of the radiation therapist. Although the presentations have strong clinical overtones, an effort has been made, wherever possible, also to address the radiobiological bases of radiation sensitivity of organs. The book contains seven chapters and begins with a study on radiation damage to the kidney. T...
THE BASICS: Instruction Manual for Life on Planet Earth This book makes no claim to ultimate wisdom or exclusive insights. It's simply a compilation of things people should know if they don't already, fundamental guidelines that can bring the universal quest for happiness within reach. We live in an infinite universe, and each human being likewise has limitless potential. Constant awe at that realization prompted this offering to all who might benefit. Life on Earth is brief. When we leave it behind, the record of our life experiences for better or worse will be etched in the eternal Book of Life. That said, let the future begin! - R. J. MORTON

Volume 2 of this series concentrates on the use of synchrotron radiation which covers that region of the electromagnetic spectrum which extends from about 10eV to 3keV in photon energy and is essentially the region where the radiation is strongly absorbed by atmospheric gases. It therefore has to make extensive use of a high vacuum to transport the radiation to the workstation where the presence of hard X-rays can cause extensive damage to both the optics and the targets used in the experimental rigs. The topics chosen for this volume have been limited to the disciplines of physics and chemistry.
