Do we really need nuclear power? This is one of the most urgent and controversial questions of the present time. Is it really a safe, cheap, and clean energy source that will solve our energy problems? Or is it so dangerous that we would be better off without it? Can we not rely on familiar sources like coal and oil, wind and solar power, for all our energy needs? And in this way would we not avoid all the hazards of nuclear radiation and at the same time reduce the risk of nuclear war? The decision, however, is not just a matter of science, technology, and economics. It also depends on what we believe about the ultimate purpose of life, the relation of men to each other and to nature. Is our aim to increase our standard of living, without limit? Should we plunder the earth to do this, without a thought for future generations? Do the earth's forest and minerals belong equally to all men, or do they belong only to the country where they are found? Or just to those people who own the land? Should we use them only to supply our real needs? What indeed counts as a need, when at least person in eight is starving? In this booklet we will look for answers within the context of Christian beliefs that have shaped our European civilization. Many of our conclusions will of course be acceptable to those of other faiths who share our concern about the development of mankind and the conservation of the earth. . . . .Peter E. Hodgson (1928 - 2008) was a British physicist, who also wrote about the philosophy of physics and social issues. A committed Roman Catholic, he worked closely with the Templeton Foundation, the Newman Society, and other organizations to promote the integration of science and religion. He encouraged Roman Catholic scientists to integrate their studies and belief and to publicize their work. He emphasized the need for the Church to be thorough and professional about any scientific advice it took and scientific comment it made.

Over a century ago a series of shocking mutilation murders took place in a squalid, overcrowded district of Victorian London. Five women fell victim to a man driven by rage and violent fantasy. The newspapers of the day gave him a chilling nickname, a name that evokes images of gas-lit foggy streets and a top-hatted sinister figure carrying a Gladstone bag. From the outset, the murderer attained almost mythical status merely by virtue of his name and his uncanny ability to avoid detection. The legend of Jack the Ripper was born. Peter Hodgson's detailed and entertaining overview of Ripper lore in fact, film and fiction analyses the fiend's awesome legacy. He explores the institutions and the individuals: the Jewish community and their rituals with meat, the scandal-prone royal family, the Victorian police and their simplistic methods of investigation, the streetwalkers and their trade. This book compares the fiction with the reality of those ghastly events, and clearly shows how the real killer has been transformed into a creature of the mind-the 'other' Jack the Ripper. Examination of the victims' mutilations reveals the true nature of 'Jack's' grotesque fantasies. This aspect-coupled with his elementary anatomical knowledge-is used in conjunction with the FBI's appraisal of the case to construct a unique psychological profile. From the long list of candidates the author reveals his prime suspect for the role of the world's most infamous serial killer.
