  Is it possible to be a Christian and a nurse at the same time? 
  When I first started out in my calling as a nurse, I thought the answer to that question was an easy "yes," but then as I walked the long halls of the hospital, I started to have questions:Is it ever okay to pray for a patient?Why do I feel so awkward asking for a chaplain?When death is real, does heaven have a place in the hospital? 
  I tried to find resources written by other Christian medical professionals to help me, but all I ever heard were statements on ethics and the legal repercussions of bringing "coercive" faith to the bedside. 
  Then I faced death myself in an ICU bed and learned that a lot of my fears were irrelevant in the Presence of the living God. And with that realization, I began to learn how God could make me a Christian and a nurse at the same time. 
  Facing death in an ICU bed is a high-risk education not everyone can afford, so I've collected the lessons learned during my journey in this book. These spiritual case studies can be used to help nurses bring their faith to work. 
  Discussion Questions included for small group study or personal growth.

  I Love My Computer Because My Friends Live in It is tech analyst Jess Kimball Leslie's hilarious, frank homage to the technology that contributed so significantly to the person she is today. From accounts of the lawless chat rooms of early AOL to the perpetual high school reunions that are modern-day Facebook and Instagram, her essays paint a clear picture: That all of us have a much more twisted, meaningful, emotional relationship with the online world than we realize or let on. Coming of age in suburban Connecticut in the late '80s and early '90s, Jess looked to the nascent Internet to find the tribes she couldn't find IRL: fellow Bette Midler fans; women who seemed impossibly sure of their sexuality; people who worked with computers every day as part of their actual jobs without being ridiculed as nerds. It's in large part because of her embrace of an online life that Jess is where she is now, happily married, with a wife, son, and dog, and making a living of analyzing Internet trends and forecasting the future of tech. She bets most people would credit technology for many of their successes, too, if they could only shed the notion that it's as a mind-numbing drug on which we're all overdosing.

  Blackett's War - The Men Who...

  In March 1941, after a year of unbroken and devastating U-boat onslaughts, the British War Cabinet decided to try a new strategy in the foundering naval campaign. To do so, they hired an intensely private, bohemian physicist who was also an ardent socialist. Patrick Blackett was a former navy officer and future winner of the Nobel Prize; he is little remembered today, but he and his fellow scientists did as much to win the war against Nazi Germany as almost anyone else. As director of the World War II antisubmarine effort, Blackett used little more than simple mathematics and probability theory-and a steadfast belief in the utility of science-to save the campaign against the U-boat. Employing these insights in unconventional ways, from the washing of mess hall dishes to the color of bomber wings, the Allies went on to win essential victories against Hitler's Germany.Here is the story of these civilian intellectuals who helped to change the nature of twentieth-century warfare. Throughout, Stephen Budiansky describes how scientists became intimately involved with what had once been the distinct province of military commanders-convincing disbelieving military brass to trust the solutions suggested by their analysis. Budiansky shows that these men above all retained the belief that operational research and a scientific mentality could change the world. It's a belief that has come to fruition with the spread of their tenets to the business and military worlds, and it started in the Battle of the Atlantic, in an attempt to outfight the Germans, but most of all to outwit them.
