What sustains you through Life's greatest trials? Take a walk through adversity into the abounding love of the Lord Jesus Christ with Anna Sherman and Juan Cassementos as they face life, death and one of the greatest horrors of our time: Abortion. Enter the City of New Orleans with its hot, steamy atmosphere and gracious Old World charms, sit back, relax and enjoy the journey. My name is Patricia Dixon and I am a native of the city of New Orleans. I am a retired, black Occupational Therapist who was inspired to write this book following the abortion of a friend of mine many years ago. My friend, who is now deceased, was an atheist and this led me to wonder how such an event might inspire faith in God. To my knowledge, my friend did not recover from her experience before she died. My own personal views on abortion were pretty radical before I became a Christian. Coming to faith in Jesus Christ, my personal Lord and Savior, inspired the events in this book. Currently, I am a graduate student working on a Professional Writing Masters degree at the University of Houston where I live now following last year's disaster in New Orleans. I am also working on another book, titled "The Millennial Conspiracy" which is also in this same Christian genre.

First published in 1997, this book contributes to our understanding of the way our society responds to issues of death and dying. The trans-disciplinary research which informs this discussion is situated in the disciplines of bioethics and palliative care. Postmodern notions of discourse and power are used to explore the organizational approach of one hospice (Karuna Hospice Service) to working with the dying. In modern, Western technological societies, biomedicine is the dominant discourse which underpins our care of the terminally ill. Bioethics has recently emerged as a discipline concerned with resolving the many ethical dilemmas arising from such a physiological, technologized approach to death. Rather than add to such studies, this research looks into the direction of alternative ways of responding to the dying in our community. KHS was chosen for this research as it presented the possibility of a holistic and spiritual alternative to the positivist, reductionist hegemony of scientific medicine. The research focus is on establishing and describing this difference, and exploring how such an organization could maintain resistance to mainstream medicine. The research findings are shared with the intent of using the material and insights gained to explore important issues presently arising in bioethics and palliative care, for example the recent critique of Principalism in bioethics and the methodological difficulties restricting research into spirituality for palliative care.

This book examines the theory, law, and reality of preemption choice. The Constitution's federalist structures protect states' sovereignty but also create a powerful federal government that can preempt and thereby displace the authority of state and local governments and courts to respond to a social challenge. Despite this preemptive power, Congress and agencies have seldom preempted state power. Instead, they typically have embraced concurrent, overlapping power. Recent legislative, agency, and court actions, however, reveal an aggressive use of federal preemption, sometimes even preempting more protective state law. Preemption choice fundamentally involves issues of institutional choice and regulatory design: should federal actors displace or work in conjunction with other legal institutions? This book moves logically through each preemption choice step, ranging from underlying theory to constitutional history, to preemption doctrine, to assessment of when preemptive regimes make sense and when state regulation and common law should retain latitude for dynamism and innovation.
