Scientists who specialize in the study of Mississippi Valley earthquakes say that the region is overdue for a powerful tremor that will cause major damage and undoubtedly some casualties. The inevitability of a future quake and the lack of preparation by both individuals and communities provided the impetus for this book. Atkinson brings together applicable information from many disciplines: history, geology and seismology, engineering, zoology, politics and community planning, economics, environmental science, sociology, and psychology and mental health to provide the most comprehensive perspective to date of the myriad impacts of a major earthquake on the Mississippi Valley. Atkinson addresses such basic questions as What, actually, are earthquakes? How do they occur? Where are they likely to occur? Can they be predicted, perhaps even prevented? He also addresses those steps that individuals can take to improve their chances for survival both during and after an earthquake.

Atkinsons' "Mind and Body" is a fine little medical work from the dawn of the 20th century. It speaks at length of faith healing, mesmerism, suggestion, hypnotism (strictly speaking in a medical setting) and the various healing rites of antiquity.It is full of secondary references and lengthy quotes and proposes the use of suggestion in varied therapeutic settings; some of which are still considered useful to this day.

At the turn of the 20th century New Thought proponents sought to use mysticism to unleash the forces of the universe in themselves. WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON was one of the most influential thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy. He promises in this book: - To show you how to cultivate memory in such a way as to improve your entire life - His method is not geared to mere recollection of facts - To teach a holistically "correct seeing, thinking, and remembering - His method trains the eye as well as the ear to improve your ability to recall names, faces, numbers, music, facts, and much more - To show how important the function of the mind is that has to do with the retention of mental impressions - Why the recall of faces, names, facts, events, and circumstances is the measure of one's ability to accomplish anything "In the higher activities of thought, the memory comes as an invaluable aid to the individual in marshalling the bits of knowledge he may have acquired and passing them in review before his cognitive faculties--thus does the soul review its mental possessions." --William Walker Atkinson
