Sir Wilfred Thomason Grenfell (1865-1940) was a medical missionary to Newfoundland and Labrador. Adrift on an Ice-Pan tells the story of Grenfell's 1908 travels by dog sled in Newfoundland to see a patient who needed immediate attention. Greenfell took a short-cut across a frozen bay, but the ice broke up beneath him, leaving him stranded with his dogs on an ice floe drifting out to sea."The unimaginative title suggests nothing of the spirit that dominates this little book... It is a story of service and courage, told with manly simplicity, and now and then a touch of real humor." -The Boston Herald

Adrift on an Ice-Pan by Wilfred Thomason Grenfell "A citizen of Britain is before you, once a student in this University, now better known to the people of the New World than to our own. This is the man who fifteen years ago went to the coast of Labrador, to succor with medical aid the solitary fishermen of the northern sea; in executing which service he despised the perils of the ocean, which are there most terrible, in order to bring comfort and light to the wretched and sorrowing. Thus, up to the measure of human ability, he seems to follow, if it is right to say it of any one, in the footsteps of Christ Himself, as a truly Christian man. Rightly then we praise him by whose praise not he alone, but our University also is honored. I present to you Wilfred Thomason Grenfell, that he may be admitted to the degree of Doctor in Medicine, HONORIS CAUSA."

Many appreciate Richard P. Feynman's contributions to twentieth-century physics, but few realize how engaged he was with the world around him -- how deeply and thoughtfully he considered the religious, political, and social issues of his day. Now, a wonderful book -- based on a previously unpublished, three-part public lecture he gave at the University of Washington in 1963 -- shows us this other side of Feynman, as he expounds on the inherent conflict between science and religion, people's distrust of politicians, and our universal fascination with flying saucers, faith healing, and mental telepathy. Here we see Feynman in top form: nearly bursting into a Navajo war chant, then pressing for an overhaul of the English language (if you want to know why Johnny can't read, just look at the spelling of "friend"); and, finally, ruminating on the death of his first wife from tuberculosis. This is quintessential Feynman -- reflective, amusing, and ever enlightening.
