Easter Island is a popular exotic tourist destination, and you can find many of the modern amenities we take for granted. There's also a growing population of several thousand, mostly mainlanders. But a mere 55 years ago, Easter Island had none of these. In 1952, Darío Verdugo-Binimelis, an idealistic Chilean physician, and his wife, Adriana, pulled up stakes and brought their four young sons to Easter Island for what would become an incredible adventure and educational experience for the family. Appointed by the Chilean Ministry of Health to serve a two-year stint as the island's sole physician, Dr. Verdugo had the responsibility for the health of the island population of about eight hundred, and he also affectionately ministered to the patients isolated in the islands leper colony. Dr. Verdugo has written a lyrical memoir of culture shock melting into affection for the native "Pascuenses" and their simple, carefree culture. He reflects on the day-to-day struggles amid stunning natural beauty and on strengthened family ties and deep friendships reinforced by the profound isolation of this tiny island sitting by itself in the middle of the vast South Pacific. Life and Solitude in Easter Island adds a unique personal and family perspective to the growing body of Easter Island literature, and complements the material found in scholarly texts or in tourist guides. This is an updated English edition of the original Spanish-language memoir, Vida y Soledad en Isla de Pascua, published in Chile in 1999.

“A great blueprint for changing your life . . . This book provides food for the body and for the soul.” —Pamela A. Popper, PhD, ND, author of Food Over Medicine By combining her decades-long study of both nutrition and scripture, Cyd Notter has created The “Plan A” Diet to serve as a message of hope to those who are nutritionally confused, suffer with declining health, or continually flit from one failed diet plan to another. The book provides a simple, achievable answer for permanent weight loss and improved health, as well as useful insights for dealing with resistance to change. Research confirms that plant-based nutrition is more powerful in restoring health than drugs or surgery, and is proven to be the only diet capable of reversing our number one killer: heart disease. Readers ready to take an active role in their health are equipped with a meal plan, tips for evaluating conflicting information, and an optional transition strategy. Prayer and biblical support has also been included to encourage people of faith. By correlating today’s unbiased science with the wisdom of applicable scripture, the book illustrates why God’s first prescribed diet for mankind—His “Plan A” Diet—remains the ideal food to this day.
