A Denmark native, Jens Nielson emigrated to Utah Territory in 185657. By 1880 he joined the Hole-in-the Rock expedition to settle Bluff, where he served as ward bishop for over two decades.As much a part of the landscape as the red cliffs, Bishop Nielson helped the town develop the contrasting characteristics that most impressed outsiders: dogged tenacity and kind hospitality. Bluff’s settlers were to establish peaceful relations with Native Americans in the Four Corners region and...

Why is deciding to do something sometimes so slow and difficult? How do we make decisions when lacking key information? When making decisions, the higher areas of the brain deliberately suppress lower areas capable of generating much faster but ill-considered responses while they develop ones that are more sophisticated, based on what can be gained in return. In this engaging book, the authors explore the increasingly popular neural model that may explain these mechanisms: the linear appro...

Randolph Sterling is a dedicated, tough, police detective who got sidelined due to a permanent injury. To avoid a depressing desk job, he takes up an interesting offer from his best friend from college, William Thornton, who now works in Italy for the newly formed Vatican's Miraculous Claims Investigations program (V.M.C.I.). Now he can use his veteran detective skills to tackle the exposing of alleged religious miracles. After all, he had his doubts that any God actually exists because of...
