Intervention and Reflection: Basic Issues in Medical Ethics

Good Review
The shipping was remarkably fast!! It is a text for a class so it isn't something I am thrilled about reading, but it is a good book if you are looking for something for medical ethics.
  
  











  



  
Memories, Dreams, Reflections
C.G. Jung

Vintage, 1989

Intensity-his mind was flooded with profound ideas
This book is sublime, a GEM. In his subjective view of the world -"with half closed eyes and somewhat closed ears, to see and hear the form and voice of being" he arrived at an inspiring insight about life: supreme meaning of being can consist only in the fact that ...
  
  











  



  
The Mindful Brain: Reflection and Attunement in the Cultivation of Well-Being

Sand County Almanac (Outdoor Essays & Reflections)
Aldo Leopold

Ballantine Books, 1986

Leaving a light footprint on the good earth
I re-read Leopold's Sand County Almanac every couple of years or so. It's not just a beautifully poetic celebration of the land. Its defense of a new sense of moral responsibility to the environment, spelled out in the book's "The Land Ethic," is a bracing tonic ...
  
  











  



  
The Sandman Vol. 6: Fables and Reflections
Neil Gaiman

Vertigo, 1994

One of the best in the series!
To me, this is one of the best volumes in the series. It's a collection of eight separate stories of varying lengths, almost all with an historical connection. (To more or less real people, that is.) And there's no frame story for a change. "Three Septembers and a ...
