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 Ian’s 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 Willock’s 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.
