This book is the first dictionary of Hong Kong English. It includes only words and word senses that are particular to Hong Kong English, legitimizing it as a variety in its own right. While the main focus is on contemporary language use from all domains of Hong Kong life, historical terms and references are covered as well. Entries are designed according to state of the art lexicography and show pronunciation, source language, frequency, authentic usage, and cultural conceptualizations. The dictionary also provides a brief history of Hong Kong English, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, historical place names and their current equivalents, words of Hong Kong origin now in international use, as well as further reference material. Patrick J. Cummings has taught English and science in Hong Kong for more than a decade. Hans-Georg Wolf is chair professor for development and variation of the English language at Potsdam University, Germany.
In the course of the fourth century, millions of bronze coins were struck in the Roman Empire: an area extending from modern Britain to Egypt. The iconography present in these modest remnants of a distant past provides a fascinating insight into the realities, hopes and desires not only of the common people, but also of those who ruled over them. It is possible to identify with a remarkable degree of precision where, when and by whom coins of this period were struck. Traditional numismatic works rely heavily on a textual description and assume that one has a perfectly preserved specimen. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given their age, the majority of coins encountered are worn or incomplete, making identification difficult. However, as demonstrated by this work, a closer study of their composition and iconography yields more than enough information to identify all but the most poorly preserved specimens.

After perusing the pages of this book, I don't think there is a better book out with regard to Salvation. This book has much clarity. No one can read the information on these pages and misunderstand why there is a Jesus, what He did, and why He came. All that are unsaved need this book. All those that are saved need to purchase this book for their unsaved love-ones. Elder Flamer tells of what sin is and how it came into this world. After Adam sinned, she makes it clear that "All" have sinned and come short of the Glory of the Holy God. She tells you what you have to do in order to make it right with God. Jesus has done all it is He was sent in the earth to do. It's now up to sinner man to do his part. This book is also a reminder to the Body of Christ to not become complacent in your salvation. It's easy today to become Churchy. Thank you Elder Flamer for writing this book, for it will change many, many lives.God bless you. Dr. Janie Watkins, Author of ITS TIME TO BE BLESSED
These are but a few of my recollections of the Cotter Mill from its 1958 Fremont County, Colorado inauguration to the year 2000 when General Atomics obtained the mill, four sections of industrial and rural real estate, assets and obligations for the sum of $1,000,000, or the value of a couple of neighboring homes. Contrary to popular opinion, early Cotter was not welcomed with open arms by Canon City society. As a matter of fact early employees were openly referred to as, "The unwelcome foreign element." Individual and collective efforts changed the atmosphere, especially when Cotter conveyed bargain basement priced water to a beleaguered private golf course. (29) Lynn Boughton was Cotter's Assistant Chief Chemist from 1958 to 1964 and Chief Chemist until he resigned in 1979. Lynn was my husband. We were in love and happily married for fifty-two years. We were also business partners, best friends, and sounding boards. On the subject of Cotter, Lynn talked-I listened; especially when our real estate was included in a Super Fund site, when his illness appeared related to nuclear exposure, and even more closely when his illness was proven to be indisputably caused by working with nuclear material; an illness that took his life in 2001. My memory is reasonably good, but certainly not flawless. My comments should not be taken as fact but as probably not too far wrong. After Lynn's death, I donated thousands of his documents to The University of Colorado Boulder Archives. ***** The future rests on the past but new ownerships, new administration, new bureaucracies always believe they start with a "clean slate" ignoring the past as they persist in repeating the same mistakes. In dealing with nuclear materials, mistakes affect, not only fortunes, but the health and property of neighbors and future generations. Deyon Boughton

Today the name Broderick Crawford means nothing to twenty-first century young people. As far as they're concerned, All The King's Men is a miserable movie starring Sean Penn! They have absolutely no idea that way back in the twentieth century Broderick Crawford was a highly-paid major box-office Hollywood film star who made over ninety motion pictures. He also won the prized Academy Award Oscar for "Best Actor In A Starring Role". On top of that he starred in an enormously successful, blockbuster television series that ran for decades in world-wide syndication making him an unpaid babysitter for an entire generation of baby boomers. In the pages of this book, the reader will discover an extraordinary actor and film star with an incredible body of work. He enjoyed a durable career in show business spanning forty-five years that hit Hollywood's lofty heights and bottom-scraping depths more than once.
Cancer Medicine: Drug Discovery and Development, is an essential text in the science which bridges the gap between laboratory and bedside medicine. The typical cancer medicine text book discusses pathology and treatment of neoplasms. This book takes an entirely different approach, and while it briefly describes certain neoplasms, it focuses on the discovery and development of anticancer agents. It details the procurement of plant materials from various remote parts of the earth, such as Africa, their extraction processes, application into animal cancer models and further development in human clinical trials. Novel research methods are discussed, and while this book does not assert itself as a terminal text, it challenges the young and older scientists to a path of medicinal creativity, especailly in its area of focus (cancer), where further research and discoveries are desperately needed. Furthermore, it serves as a guide of further inquiry into the discovery and development of pharmaceutical agents for challenging parasitic infections, such as malaria, and viral ailments such as HIV-AIDS.
This collection of essays by John Stuart Mill includes his masterwork of political philosophy On Liberty, together with other notable and acclaimed works. A famed philosopher, essayist and economist, John Stuart Mill has since the nineteenth century been revered for his succinct insights on matters of society. He developed the philosophy of utilitarianism, which remains a subject of serious study to this day. This compilation contains four principle works by Mill: On Liberty - the classic essay by Mill, and his most known. In this treatise Mill attempts to reconcile the need for civilized control and authority with the human need for personal liberty and expression. Individuality is, according to Mill, precursor to many of the higher pleasures of existence - a just society must therefore make provisions for such to occur, while remaining sufficiently ordered.
