Quest For Gold

Quest For Gold

Circa 1991 my father sent me a journal written by his great Uncle Leo, who at the tender age of 19 left home with his brother George to seek their fortune in the goldfields of the Yukon Territory. The 40-page journal chronicled their 1898 trek and was an honest account of their daily grind. I found the story so compelling that I fleshed out the journal and brought to life the people and places the boys encountered along the way. The story is about family, friendship and the bond created through adversity and misfortune.This narrative also brings to life the last great adventure of the 19th century. A time where the Wild West gave birth to the dawn of the modern age. It is a historical piece which speaks to the heart of the reader through it's two main characters.The novel follows the Healy boy's extraordinary 10,000-mile journey west across the northern states to Seattle and then northward on their boat ride to Skagway Alaska. Their hardship truly begins on their climb up the Chilkoot Pass where 70 men are killed on Palm Sunday morning by a series of avalanches. The push over the pass is halted while 2,000 stampeders look for survivors. After carrying 4,000 lbs. of supplies over the pass, the Healy's spend the next few months at the source of the Yukon River building a boat before sailing the next 500 miles down the Yukon River towards Dawson City in search of gold.

It is estimated that forty-five to fifty percent of all Americans will suffer a mental disorder at some time during their lives. Increasingly, the treatment for these disorders is management with one or more psychiatric drugs, often prescribed by general practitioners. In Pillaged Ronald William Maris evaluates the psychiatric medications commonly used to treat several major types of psychiatric disorders - including depression and mood disorders, bipolar disorders, anxiety disorders, and psychotic disorders - asking “do they work as advertised?” and, more importantly, “are they safe?”Answers to these questions are more ambiguous than we might think, Maris explains, because drug manufacturers tend to minimize the adverse effects of their products. Furthermore, the underlying neurobiological theories of how psychiatric drugs work are complex, poorly understood, and often conflicting. Still Americans spend tens of billions of dollars a year on antidepressants and antipsychotics alone.While Maris questions the rampant prescribing of psychiatric medications especially in young people, Pillaged does not suggest that anyone cavalierly discontinue potentially beneficial psychiatric medications without the advice of a qualified mental health professional. The book acknowledges that psychiatric medications are often necessary in treating some psychiatric conditions, but it reminds readers of medication’s potential for degrading one’s quality of life, contributing to self-destructive behaviors, and even leading to death in a vulnerable minority of patients. Maris advocates an open and honest discussion of data on psychiatric drugs, their effects, and their dangers, and he reminds readers of available alternative, nondrug treatments for psychiatric disorders. By reviewing the history and effects of medications for mental disorders, Maris hopes to educate health care consumers and prescribers to make careful, informed decisions about the treatment of psychiatric disorders.

Knowledge and Environmental Policy

Knowledge and Environmental Policy

William Ascher; Toddi Steelman; Robert Healy

MIT Press
2010

An analysis of the challenges involved in incorporating science and other kinds of knowledge into making environmental policy.During the George W. Bush administration, politics and ideology routinely trumped scientific knowledge in making environmental policy. Data were falsified, reports were edited selectively, and scientists were censored. The Obama administration has pledged to restore science to the policy making process. And yet, as the authors of Knowledge and Environmental Policy point out, the problems in connecting scientific discovery to science-based policy are systemic. The process-currently structured in a futile effort to separate policy from science-is dysfunctional in many respects. William Ascher, Toddi Steelman, and Robert Healy analyze the dysfunction and offer recommendations for incorporating formal science and other important types of knowledge (including local knowledge and public sentiment) into the environmental policymaking process.The authors divide the knowledge process into three functions-generation, transmission, and use-and explore the key obstacles to incorporating knowledge into the making of environmental policy. Using case studies and integrating a broad literature on science, politics, and policy, they examine the ignorance or distortion of policy-relevant knowledge, the overemphasis of particular concerns and the neglect of others, and the marginalization of certain voices. The book's analysis will be valuable to scientists who want to make their work more accessible and useful to environmental policy and to policymakers who want their decisions to be informed by science but have had difficulty finding scientific knowledge that is useful or timely.
