A Fresh Breath of Screwtape 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

If you love The Screwtape Letters, then you will love Acting Spritual. But in addition to being entertained, you will be confronted with one of the most deadly--and readily accepted--aspects of "church life" in this day and age. Legalism--our tendency to try to earn God's love rather than accept His gift of life each day--is killing our ability to live in Christian community. This is definately a message that the church needs to hear, and Von Maltitz uses this humorous series of letters as a very gentle means of presenting the truth in love.

Editorial Review:

Comic relief for weary church folks. Ian von Maltitz has lived through church yet remains a Christian. No doubt, his unique sense of humor and powers of observation have helped him thrive. This book is a humorous expose of modern-day legalism, self-righteousness, and hypocrisy in the Church. Its principal character is Self-righteous, who attempts to instruct his young protege, Sanctimonious, on how to lead his Christian life. In the style of C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters, von Maltitz pulls the mask off the modern Pharisee. This books helps you break pretenses and enjoy a healthy faith. Ian von Maltitz has been involved in Christian work since 1970. He has authored two other books and numerous articles. He lives in Colorado with his wife, Yvonne, and two children.

Editorial Review:

When Archimedes - the world-famous technologist and erstwhile deviant - finds himself naked in the middle of town, he inadvertently breaks Winton's First Rule of Artful Diplomacy: "Do not talk to fishies." Now, with an ill-mannered, highly-dependent water-dweller in his care, Archimedes must navigate a complex world filled with admen, foreign soldiers and dubiously-accredited engineers! "Archimedes' Fish" is a SteamDuck picture-book for quick-witted adults and children who have already been emotionally scarred.

Description:
Anthropogenic contaminants have been a concern in the Canadian arctic for over 30 years due to relatively high concentrations of bioaccumulating and biomagnifying organochlorine contaminants (OCs) and toxic metals found in some arctic biota and humans. However, few studies have addressed the potential effects of these contaminants in Canadian arctic wildlife. Prior to 1997, biological effects data were minimal and insufficient at any level of biological organization. The present review summarizes recent studies on biological effects related to contaminant exposure, and compares new tissue concentration data to threshold effects levels. Weak relationships between cadmium, mercury and selenium burdens and health biomarkers in common eider ducks (Somateria mollissima borealis) in Nunavut were found but it was concluded that metals were not influencing the health of these birds. Black guillemots (Cepphus grylle) examined near PCB-contaminated Saglek Bay, Labrador, had enlarged livers, elevated EROD and liver lipid levels and reduced retinol (vitamin A) and retinyl palmitate levels, which correlated to PCB levels in the birds. Circulating levels of thyroid hormones in polar bears (Ursus maritimus) were correlated to PCB and HO-PCB plasma concentrations, but the impact at the population level is unknown. High PCB and organochlorine pesticide concentrations were found to be strongly associated with impaired humoral and cell-mediated immune responses in polar bears, implying an increased infection risk that could impact the population. In beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas), cytochromes P450 (phase I) and conjugating (phase II) enzymes have been extensively profiled (immunochemically and catalytically) in liver, demonstrating the importance of contaminants in relation to enzyme induction, metabolism and potential contaminant bioactivation and fate. Concentrations of OCs and metals in arctic terrestrial wildlife, fish and seabirds are generally below effects thresholds, with the possible exception of PCBs in burbot (Lota lota) in some Yukon lakes, Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus), glaucous and great black-backed gulls (Larus hyperboreus and L. marinus), and TEQs of dioxin-like chemicals in seabird eggs. PCB and DDT concentrations in several arctic marine mammal species exceed effects thresholds, although evidence of stress in these populations is lacking. There is little evidence that contaminants are having widespread effects on the health of Canadian arctic organisms, with the possible exception of polar bears. However, further research and better understanding of organohalogen exposure in arctic biota is needed considering factors such as tissue levels that exceed effects thresholds, exposure to ''new'' organohalogen contaminants of concern, contaminated regions, and climate change.
