"BREAD, CASH, dosh, dough, loot, lucre, moolah, readies, the wherewithal: call it what you like, money matters." This is probably a sentence people would expect least of all from a professor of history. The odds are, however, no more than just odds. The sentence does come from a historian-and an Oxford-educated Harvard historian, too-opening the introduction to his book. While this is unconventional and even taboo for many professional historians, it does make the reader better disposed towards reading this book of history.

AND GOD said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them havedominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."The Bible tells us that man was created to be like God, and to hold authority over ever creature in the world.It is said that thus we were created, and thus we were to become. However, it is only the earth that we hold dominion over,and our power cannot go beyond the limits that were set from the beginning. Hence, we are like God, but we still are not God.Being humans, we have a limited ability to create other beings, and we cannot create androids that would perfectly match humans.Nor do we wish to do so, because we still want to claim dominion over every creeping thing on earth - including androids.

WHEN YOU read success stories, there always appears a sentence about hardships in one form or another: Life is a constant repetition of hardships that appear at every stage. As people strive to live and maintain a comfortable life, they realize that life is actually a series of struggles. Many Yonseians may be confused or anxious about their future careers; even if they have clear goals, they are not sure what is waiting ahead of them. Although students may already be highly educated, they still prepare for the national examination or work harder to accumulate more experience to make themselves more marketable. Despite all the obstacles that will need to be overcome, there is always hope. Like the old saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining. To all who need a little hope or inspiration, The Yonsei Annals recommends three books about people who surmount their own trials and limitations.

WHAT IF everyone on earth disappeared tomorrow? What would happen to the world? What will become of nature without man? *The World Without Us* speculates how nature will digest our remnants, the works of man. Alan Weisman’s detailed account of how nature will handle our inventions makes us aware of our crimes against nature - the remnants that might last forever.
