Loophole

Robert Pollock

Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

Coronet/Hodder

Dr. Pollock's years as a physician took him from the fishing lanes of Alaska to the wilds of Newfoundland, going through a stint at a Cincinnati hospital and a pilot tryout in California, which he flunked because they said he wasn't a fit flyer, something he went on to do regardless of their criticism for another forty years or so. This book contains predominantly stories related to his professional career, the more eccentric of his medical experiences, but there are also tempting tales of extracurriculum drinking, working at odd jobs, flying and being a friend of women of some very out of the way streets, like those of Halfway, Oregon.

Religion is as old as humanity itself, and religious belief is a uniquely potent force that has molded nations, driven empires, and advanced civilizations. Many religions are an inextricable thread in the fabric of their believers' cultural identities. Some have endured for centuries, standing the test of time, war, and social strife to determine the course of history and directly influence the way people live, love, fight, and govern. Now more than ever, as our world gets smaller and smaller, it is important to understand the diverse beliefs and traditions that make up the world's great tapestry of faiths.No one knows exactly how many religions exist today, but it is in the thousands, and that number is always changing, as new religions continually evolve from old. World Religions is the perfect introduction to the world's major (and many of the minor) faiths. Using clear, accessible language, author Robert Pollock outlines the histories, forms of worship, holy writings, and belief systems of each religion. Readers will also learn how the religions are practiced today, from significant festivals, rituals, and customs, to the roles important religious leaders and sacred places play, to the impact and influence each faith has had on society as a whole.Whether you're interested in researching your own religion or you want to learn more about how other people worship, World Religions is a fascinating introduction to the beliefs that have shaped-and continue to shape-our world.
