Inaugurated fifty years ago as a key component in the Manhattan Project, Oak Ridge National Laboratory remains one of the nation's premier research institutions. This profusely illustrated volume, written for a non-scientific readership, chronicles the history of the laboratory from its origins to the present day. Leland Johnson and Daniel Schaffer begin their narrative in 1943 when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built ORNL in the hills of East Tennessee to produce plutonium for atomic weapons. After World War II, ORNL became a center for fundamental scientific research under the successive management of the Atomic Energy Commission, the Energy Research and Development Administration, and the Department of Energy. Since 1945, the laboratory's contributions to national defense have been balanced by its investigations in many other areas, including nuclear medicine and environmental research. As the authors demonstrate, Oak Ridge National Laboratory represents the concerns of the American scientific establishment in microcosm. The facility was part of the flourishing of "big science" that began in the 1940s, and the workings of ORNL clearly illustrate the ties between scientific research and military concerns that continued well into the post-World War II era. Now that the Cold War is over, the laboratory's activities have embarked in directions that reveal the nation's new priorities in science, the environment, and technology. Thus this book, by offering a window into the past and present activity at Oak Ridge, allows the reader to glimpse the larger trends within the scientific community.

What has happened to millions of people worldwide? Was it really a massive alien abduction? World leaders and the news media are saying that people from the Andromeda Galaxy have taken them as part of a cultural exchange. Central News Agency Investigative Reporter Robert Wallace believes that he has uncovered the biggest news story since World War II. He found a Bible in a desk drawer belonging to a missing co-worker. A note that was written to "Whoever finds My Bible" leads Wallace to believe that The Missing People were taken up in what many Christians called The Rapture. Wallace begins a long investigation as he teams up with like-minded people who heard the stories of Christ taking believers out of the world before his return, but they had failed to believe them. They now had become new believers in Christ. They were constantly under persecution by the world's new leader, Paolino Esposito, and his followers. During his research, he reconnects with his former girlfriend, and the two of them fight to get the message out to a world that is being led astray. Their travels take them from America to Europe and finally to Jerusalem to face the wrath of Paolino Esposito as armies of the world gather in Israel for a final showdown at Megiddo. Will Israel fall to her enemies? Will the new believers be overtaken by the forces of the evil one? Find out by reading Daniel Schaffer's first Novel, "The Missing: The Andromeda Connection."

For the past 20 years, the Third World Academy of Sciences (Twas) has been at the forefront of efforts to promote science and science-based developments in the developing world. This history of Twas, the first of its kind, seeks to examine the forces that led to the creation of the Academy and that have sustained its growth and development ever since. This is a history of an organization that has made a difference in the advancement of science in the developing world and one that has been operated largely by and for scientists from the South. It provides a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities that have driven science in the South over the past two decades and offers a window on the progress that has been made and the enormous amount of work that still needs to be done.
