Have you ever considered the fall of the American Empire? Neither did the Romans; but the Roman Empire collapsed mightily. The birth of the American Catholic Church separated from Rome? It will come. The unification of the American Catholic Church with the Progressive Christian Church—it's coming. The end of the designations Protestant and Catholic—it's time. The Reformation is over. Christians must unify and step up together to help save America before her infrastructure collapses. Norman Whitcomb is a layperson who wants to stir clergy, laypeople, and social activists alike to get both our country and church back on track. If economic imbalance gets much further out of kilter our economy will collapse. In Myopic Man, he takes the reader on his own spiritual journey and challenges others to do the same. He traces the evolution of both Hebrew and Christian religions and then to the dogma that was created that separates us. Norman believes that church dogma belongs only to the clergy that developed it, and that laypeople are much closer to agreement with the core elements of the Christian faith than clergy assume.

Beautifully illustrated throughout, Ophthalmology Lecture Notes concentrates on the most common eye problems that health practitioners are expected to diagnose and manage. The book begins with a brief introduction to ocular anatomy and eye examination, and then focuses on core conditions in ophthalmology. The highly structured text includes self assessment material at the end of each chapter, as well as a series of clinical cases at the end of the book – all designed to facilitate easy access to information, making the book an ideal resource for both study and revision, while the brand new companion website at www.wiley.com/go/james/ophthalmology features all of the book’s illustrations and images. Whether you need to develop your knowledge for clinical practice, or refresh that knowledge in the run up to examinations, Ophthalmology Lecture Notes will help foster a systematic approach to the clinical situation for all medical students and hospital doctors.
