Blind Man's Eclipse is three novellas that explore without flinching fundamental questions about how we live with ourselves and one another: Does capital punishment truly serve the greater good? Can obesity be beautiful - and, more important, what is beauty? Would the world be a better place if we had one religion instead of many? Taut, succinct, and infused with great feeling and detail, each story enters psychological shadows in search of why people think and act as they do when confronted with issues that define shared existence. This collection prompts deep thought while it intrigues and entertains. In reaching for the light while moving through the dark, it is sure to linger in the reader's mind well after the last page has been turned.

Most users of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) approach it differently than physicians, because they employ informal knowledge, based on their experiences, beliefs, and values. Jonathan Davis stresses that, although physicians also use informal knowledge from their clinical experience to understand patients and their needs, they rely on formal knowledge, based on science, to understand medicine. Thus, if CAM is going to become a legitimate part of health care, physicians must insist that scientific research prove its safety and efficacy.

The first comprehensive study of the use of compound words in Old English poetry, homilies, and philosophy, Joinings explores the effect of compounds on style, pace, clarity, and genre in Anglo-Saxon vernacular literature. Jonathan Davis-Secord demonstrates how compounds affect the pacing of passages in Beowulf, creating slow-motion narrative at moments of significant violence; how their structural complexity gives rhetorical emphasis to phrases in the homilies of Wulfstan; and how they help to mix quotidian and elevated diction in Cynewulf's Juliana and the Old English translations of Boethius. His work demonstrates that compound words were the epitome of Anglo-Saxon vernacular verbal art, combining grammar, style, and culture in a manner unlike any other feature of Old English.
