The Planet You Inherit - Letters...

Larry L. Rasmussen

For the first time ever, love letters consciously written by elders of one geologic epoch to the young of another. 
 
 
 
Our children's and grandchildren's generation will face a different world, one affected by climate instability, mass uncertainty, and breathtaking extinction. In fact, the next generation will face the reality that human activity is changing the planet from one geological epoch to another. 
 
 
 
From this vantage point—two generations across two geological epochs facing a fundamentally changing planet—Larry Rasmussen writes to his grandchildren. As a grandfather invested in a green earth and climate justice as well as a scholar of faith-based earth ethics, Rasmussen bridges this gap between generations to write to the future about climate change, global citizenship, democracy, and legacy. In topics ranging from "A Viable Way of Life" and "Democracy" to "Where We've Come From" and "Who We Are Now," Rasmussen explores the large questions of justice, meaning, and faith, encouraging us to speak to and look to the future generation and their future world.

Saved by a Stranger -...

Lezlee Peterzell-Bellanich

Saved by a Stranger is an honest, down-to-earth, informative book inspiring hope, perseverance, and triumph for those who are facing the need for a new organ. Through great storytelling, the author helps patients and caregivers feel empowered as they face the challenges of the unknown.
After battling a rare autoimmune disorder called Primary Schlerosing Cholangitis (PSC) for eighteen years which led to cirrhosis, Lezlee Peterzell Bellanich's husband, Capt. Rob, finally received his life-saving liver transplant on September 10, 2020 at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. Today, he looks and feels like a healthy man with a new engine inside of him.
What were all of the twists and turns that led to where they are now? How does hearing amazing survival stories from other transplant patients provide hope and crucial information to those on the waitlist? How, who, and where do donated organs come from?
Saved by a Stranger unlocks the mystery of organ donation and transplantation through honest storytelling. The author not only describes their family's personal journey, which included relocating from New York to Florida at the beginning of the Covid outbreak, but also features chapters and interviews with other transplant patients and medical professionals in this field. In doing so, she hopes to increase organ donor registration, give hope to those on the transplant waitlist, and encourage all transplant centers to have regular support group meetings like the Mayo Clinic's weekly Second Chance support group for liver and kidney transplant patients and caregivers.
