AND SOMEBODY GIVES A DAMN! by Captain Ashton is a collection of eye-witness accounts of events before & after the Fall of Bataan & Corregidor. The author relates his own experiences as a medical officer & Adjutant of the 12th Medical Regiment, Philippine Scouts & edits the contributions of a host of other people who describe the many bizarre & colorful events which occurred. Among them, a doctor who practiced medicine in Manila before the war. The unique situation of the nurses on Bataan is described by three of the "Angels". One (the Chief Nurse) tells about the hospitals in Manila & Hospital #1 & #2 on Bataan, another tells her experiences & escapes from Corregidor by submarine, & a poignant story is told of the final days before the Fall of Bataan. Other doctors describe the field hospitals set up in the jungle & the chaos encountered when a hospital equipped to care for 1000 patients explodes to 13,000 with a shortage of everything. The hazardous escapes from Corregidor to Australia & the Hell Ships are depicted as well as British & Dutch prisoners with cholera, complicated by beri beri. The brutality of Japanese reprisal camps is offset by the humor of Diving as Guest of the Emperor. Perusal of the Table of Contents reveals the wide variety of never-before-told incidents witnessed by these authors & the editor.

What may be a bit different about this book is that it interprets Revelation by reading its symbols and putting them in order, like a puzzle, so one may actually read what they say, essentially deciphering the book of Revelation. This approach eliminates a lot of speculation, and at the very least, renders a precise reading, however open to interpretation. The writing of Revealing the Puzzle of Revelation is clear and engaging. But its real strength lies in its take on Revelation itself, maintaining that it is an inspired work of real prophecy, some of which has seen fulfillment. It makes a case for Revelation being inspired by citing specific cases of fulfilled prophecy in history. And with that, Revelation is demonstrated to be a remarkably resilient work, and yet another way of presenting the gospel. Revealing the Puzzle of Revelation looks into many possible interpretations of John's vision, based upon popular teachings on it. But its ultimate purpose is simply to present a stable biblical reading of the prophecy, consistent with scripture.

If absence is the most compelling form of presence, then emptiness is pregnant with fullness, and the Void is not a place of darkness, but of potentially healing light. That is the unifying theme and underlying message of this wide-ranging collection of essays, brought together in this volume. The essays are drawn from fields as diverse as music, art, poetry, religion, neurobiology, dance/movement therapy, and philosophy, and many are written against the backdrop of Jungian psychotherapy. While each of the contributors brings his or her own unique perspective-and, in some cases, personal experience-to bear on the painful experience of the void state, they unanimously strike a note of unqualified optimism that we can, if we embrace that pain, return from the abyss transformed.
