Napa Valley Vets-The Balance of Lives is the story of the makings of two veterinarians-from the classrooms of vet school into the back rooms of a small animal hospital and into the fields and horse stalls of a mobile practice in the fabled Napa Valley. It portrays the commitment of two veterinarians to a continually evolving, challenging, heart wrenching career and the requisite compromise between profession and family. Part one depicts the balancing of early practice and family life, first patients, surgeries and emergencies. Part two shows the intimacy and compassion of small animal practice. Part three is a collection of compelling cases involving all the species dealt with in a general practice. Part four centers on the horses of the Napa Valley and on the change in focus as this family grows up and moves on. Part five. "One adventure was ending, one lifetime of caring and giving, both to the practice of veterinary medicine in the Napa Valley, and to our family..."
In a time when almost any gritty topic can be featured in a young adult novel, there is one subject that is avoided by writers and publishers. Faith and belief in God seldom appear in traditional form in novels for teens. The lack of such ideas in mainstream adolescent literature can be interpreted by teens to mean that these matters are not important. Yet a significant part of growing up is struggling with issues of spirituality. The underlying problem, of course, is that there are so few writers who are willing to talk to teenagers about God, even indirectly, or who themselves have the religious literacy for the task. Spirituality in Young Adult Literature: The Last Taboo tackles a subject rarely portrayed in fiction aimed at teens. In this volume, Patty Campbell examines not only realistic fiction, but young adult literature that deals with mysticism, apocalyptical end times, and even YA novels that depict the Divine Encounter. Campbell maintains that fantasy works are inherently spiritual, because the plots nearly always progress toward a showdown between good and evil. As such, the author surmises that the popularity of fantasy among teens may represent their interest in the mystical dimensions of faith and the otherworldly. In this study, Campbell examines works of fiction that express perspectives from Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism. Distinguished YA novelist Chris Crowe provides a chapter on Mormon values and Mormon YA authors and how their novels integrate those values into their books. By looking at how spirituality is represented in novels aimed at teens, this book asks what progress, if any, has been made in slaying the taboo. Although most of the books discussed in this study are recent, an appendix lists YA books from 1967 to the present that have dealt with issues of faith. A timely look at an important subject, Spirituality in Young Adult Literature will be of interest to young adult librarians, junior and senior high school teachers, and students and instructors of college courses in adolescent literature, as well as to parents of teens.

Radical Psychological Moods Dark Fall Of Bipolar And Unstable Minds And Suicide, is meant to be a direct parallel to "the (dark) fall of man." There's a direct link (in my opinion) to the creation (not evolution) of mankind in perfect balance in the beginning, (Genesis) before the fall. Suicide, to me, is the act of futility of a life without meaning, wrongly pushed to judgment by a fallen nature that's rejected God.
