Author Larry Nocella terrifies readers with a suspenseful struggle for survival in the short story, “It Never Goes Away.”
The lone survivor of a mysterious catastrophe awakes to find himself buried alive in the ruins of his home.

As he pieces together the true nature of the disaster, it seems beyond imagining. Will he live long enough to find out the truth?
Includes an essay by the author about the story’s real-life inspiration.
Story and brief essay total approximately 7,000 words.

Two bestselling authors first met in a televised Caltech debate on “the future of God,” one an articulate advocate for spirituality, the other a prominent physicist. This remarkable book is the product of that serendipitous encounter and the contentious—but respectful—clash of worldviews that grew along with their friendship.
In War of the Worldviews these two great thinkers battle over the cosmos, evolution and life, the human brain, and God, probing the fundamental questions that define the human experience.
How did the universe emerge?
What is the nature of time?
What is life?
Did Darwin go wrong?
What makes us human?
What is the connection between mind and brain?

It describes the origin of science and medicine in ancient civilizations, including China and India. The first third of the book covers the early period that is considered the “classical” history of medicine. The remainder describes the evolution of modern medicine and surgery up to the present. The final chapter is a history of medical economics and explains the origin of health insurance, HMOs and medical malpractice lawsuits, subjects explained nowhere else in the medical school curriculum.
