This book analyzes power in new, more complex ways, and incorporates current cutting edge debates in patients' ability to resist medical power. Part One is devoted to sociolinguistic and cognitive approaches to doctor-patient discourse. Chapters analyze the patterns of talk that are produced by the situational demands of the medical setting and provide a detailed examination of the interplay of clinical reasoning and language use in the organizational context of health care delivery. Part Two examines the production of doctor-patient communication. Chapters address the social production of doctor-patient discourse, examine the relationship between social structure and social interaction, and explore the relationship between power and resistance.

Long-time residents of Newport, Oregon report seeing a feeble light in the tower of the defunct lighthouse at Yaquina Bay. They ascribe this to the presence of the ghost of Muriel Trevenard, a teenaged girl who, in the years after its abandonment in 1874, went alone into the lighthouse to retrieve a dropped handkerchief and was never seen again. Lischen M. Miller gives body and form to the apocryphal tale of Muriel in the "Pacific Quarterly" in 1899. And now Alexandra Mason brings Muriel's tale into the present. We hear Muriel's thoughts of her (non)existence since her death, as she is trapped in the lighthouse and in an endless limbo. Young Amelia Allen and her father Hal visit Newport and see Muriel's light from their condo across the bay. When they visit the museum, Muriel takes a chance and materializes to them. Amelia senses that a personal mission is now hers, to help put Muriel to rest-and she discovers that Muriel is actually a distant ancestor. Romance blossoms between Hal and Letty, the lighthouse curator, as Amelia learns the ritual to transport the spirit of Muriel to a resting place in the Eureka Pioneer Cemetery, where she sleeps peacefully-or maybe not? Illustrated by Lila Pasarelli."THE LIGHTHOUSE GHOST is the Mother of all Ghost Stories, well-written with a can't-put-down plot." - M. C. Arvanitis, author of Hank of Twin Rivers Series."A fun and loving tale of a girl who wanted to find the proper burial place for Muriel, the ghost girl who lived in Yaquina Bay Lighthouse. Eureka Cemetery was just the spot, as its first known burial was John Jessup, 1879, the Assistant Lighthouse Keeper of Yaquina. Mason brings to life activity around the Newport area, piquing our curiosity and interest to keep us rapidly moving through this exciting story " -- Paula Wenell, former Manager Assistant, current Board Member of Eureka Pioneer Cemetery of Newport, Oregon

Beginning with rumors in 1943, the legend of the Philadelphia Experiment has now grown to the point where it has captured the imagination of an entire generation. In decades past, science fiction pursued the cutting edge of consciousness with the quest to transcend the speed of light and engage the culture of outer space. Today, the Philadelphia Experiment has become humanity's prime example in the effort to understand how consciousness interfaces with the cold hard quantum facts of life. It has long since been established by science that parallel universes exist. The problem has been that no one knows how to penetrate or experience them save for the testimony of those who have been labeled insane. The Philadelphia Experiment Murder: Parallel Universes and the Physics of Insanity brings an entirely new view to the horizon. Prompted by a vigorous and thorough investigation of the circumstances surrounding the murder of Phil Schneider, parallel worlds come into focus though studying the nature of insanity itself. In past attempts to understand Einstein's Unified Field Theory, consciousness has too often been omitted in the equation, yet consciousness is the very reason for observing its existence. Now, consciousness leaks new clues to the mysteries of the Philadelphia Experiment through the martyrizing of one of its proponents.
