This volume is a piece of history. It is a document of courage,
exploration and first contact. Beyond this, it is a chronicle of
the spiritual history of a people. James Chalmers was an early
pioneer missionary with a call to reach the far-flung tribes of New
Guinea. This simple mission became heroically monumental
considering that the country was wild and unknown; the land and its
inhabitants were uncharted; and the people themselves were
headhunters! "'Wherever there are men, missionaries are bound to
go.'" Thus begins the exciting story of one of the great missions
efforts in a land and to tribal peoples who are even now considered
largely unreached. Discover for yourself the power of the gospel to
change people, mold nations and bring us into our destiny! The DNA
of these early missionaries is an important piece for us to grasp
as we step forward into the end of the ages!
The essays presented in The Ian Willock Collection on Law and
Justice in the Twenty-First Century by those who knew Ian Willock
as well as those who have been inspired by his concerns represent
the wide compass of Ianâs interests. These range from a concern
with the development of legal regulation to the relationship
between social change and the justice system, as well as his
particularly interest in the limitations on the accessibility of
the justice system. This tribute provides a microcosm of the
changes and shifts which occurred in legal education and the legal
profession in the years between 1964 and the current century. The
profound impact of Ian Willockâs life work is evident through the
wide-ranging essays in this collection.

When Congress passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, it
directed the Department of Energy to locate, study, license, and
develop a deep underground repository for high-level nuclear
wastes. As the authors of this study show, by 1987 the program was
in shambles, beset by opposition from every state that had a
potential storage site. Congress p
Time is both the ally of high-level nuclear waste (HLNW) managers
and the enemy. It is the ally because the radioactivity in elements
and isotopes decreases with age, making the waste progressively
less dangerous to human health and safety and the environment. This
rate of radioactive decline varies, in some cases diminishing by
half (the half life) in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks,
months, or years. In other cases the decay process takes centuries
or hundreds of thousands of years before the wastes are safe for
human contact. The problem as now conceptualized for HLNW managers
is simple to state if not easy to achieve. The HLNW needs to be
secured in some fashion until it decays, by virtue of its physical
nature, to safe levels. Another possible future solution, not
currently available, might be to change the ~~ructure of HLNW
through high-technology processing and thus decompose the waste
into units with different and less lengthy radioactivity. Learning
whether this processing is a future option will require patience
and generous amounts of time for research.
