The New Testament writers use spatial language and imagery to
portray our relationship with God, speaking both about God or
Christ in us, and us in them. Believers are also described as
possessing and participating in divine qualities such as life and
glory. Both aspects are prominent in John's Gospel and letters.
However, outside the Pauline writings, union with Christ has hardly
been addressed in New Testament scholarship. Dr. Clive Bowsher
seeks to redress this balance in Life in the Son. In John's Gospel,
the oneness of the Father and Son is described as the Father and
Son being 'in-one-another.' Clive Bowsher's study shows that union
with Christ in John's Gospel and letters is the in-one-another
relationship of believers with the Father and Son by the Spirit -
the intimate, loving, relational participation of the believer and
God, each in the life, affections, ways and work of the other.
Insightful and accessible, Bowsher's study also explores
connections with the shape of sonship, and with covenant and the
life of the age to come. This new volume in the NSBT series fills a
significant gap in the literature and promises to be a blessing to
pastors, preachers and scholars alike.

Plant Biochemistry focuses on the molecular and cellular aspects of
each major metabolic pathway and sets these within the context of
the whole plant. Using examples from biomedical, environmental,
industrial and agricultural applications, it shows how a
fundamental understanding of plant biochemistry can be used to
address real-world issues. It illustrates how plants impact human
activity and success, in terms of their importance as a food supply
and as raw materials for industrial and pharmaceutical products,
and considers how humans can benefit from exploiting plant
biochemical pathways. All chapters in this second edition have been
substantially revised to incorporate the latest research
developments, and case studies include updates on progress in
developing novel plants and plant products. The artwork, now in
full color, superbly illustrates the key concepts and mechanisms
presented throughout. Key features: Presents each topic from the
cellular level to the ecological and environmental levels, placing
it in the context of the whole plant. Biochemical pathways are
represented as route maps, showing how one reaction interacts with
another both within and across pathways. Includes comprehensive
reading lists with descriptive notes to enable students to conduct
their own research into topics they wish to explore further The
wide-ranging approach of this book emphasizes the importance of
teaching and learning plant biochemical pathways within the
framework of what the pathway does and why it is needed.
Illustrates the fundamental significance of plants, in terms of
their importance as a food supply, as raw materials and as sources
of novel products. Plant Biochemistry is invaluable to
undergraduate students who wish to gain insight into the relevance
of plant metabolism in relation to current research questions and

Over the course of the last ten years the issue of debt has become
a serious problem that threatens to destroy the global
socio-economic system and ruin the everyday lives of millions of
people. This collection brings together a range of perspectives of
key thinkers on debt to provide a sociological analysis focused
upon the social, political, economic, and cultural meanings of
indebtedness. The contributors to the book consider both the lived
experience of debt and the more abstract processes of
financialisation taking place globally. Showing how debt functions
on the level of both macro- and microeconomics, the book also
provides a more holistic perspective, with accounts that span
sociological, cultural, and economic forms of analysis.

Essays dealing with the question of how the theory and practice of
archaeology should engage with the recent past. Heritage, memory,
community archaeology and the politics of the past form the main
strands running through the papers in this volume.The authors
tackle these subjects from a range of different philosophical
perspectives, with manydrawing on the experience of recent
community, commercial and other projects. Throughout, there is a
strong emphasis on both the philosophy of engagement and with its
enactment in specific contexts; the essays deal with an interest in
the meaning, value and contested nature of the recent past and in
the theory and practice of archaeological engagements with that
past. Chris Dalglish is a lecturer in archaeology at the University
of Glasgow. Contributors: Julia Beaumont, David Bowsher, Terry
Brown, Jo Buckberry, Chris Dalglish, James Dixon, Audrey Horning,

What happens to the cultural politics of human rights when
atrocities are rendered calculable, abuses are transformed into
data, and victims become vectors? As human rights organisations
have increasingly embraced information technologies this
'datafication' of rights has become both a reality and a pressing
concern, one inextricably tangled up with questions regarding the
broader political valences of human rights. Combining contemporary
social and cultural theory with archival research and original
ethnographic work, Josh Bowsher resituates recent critiques of
human rights within ongoing theoretical discussions concerning
informational capitalism, digital culture and the politics of data.
Critically analysing the contemporary human rights movement as an
informational politics, Bowsher provides a new conceptual agenda
for both exploring and overcoming the limits of human rights in an
era shaped by the data flows, network infrastructures and
informational logic of late capitalism.

The Guildhall has been the centre of the local government of the
City of London since the 12th century. Major archaeological
excavations took place between 1985 and 1999, and evidence from
these is combined with historical and architectural analysis to
create an integrated history of the Guildhall. Beginning with the
first hall of the 12th century, the book describes later halls and
precinct buildings from the 14th to the 20th centuries. Good
organic survival preserved evidence in an 11th- and 12th-century
parish churchyard and for a number of adjacent timber houses. This
wide-ranging volume highlights other themes from the medieval and
later periods, including evidence for medieval Jewish occupation,
the cloth market of Blackwell Hall, inns, craft activity and two
parish churches.

List What came first - dogs that look like their owners or owners
that look like their dogs? I wanted a dog... This one was perfect!
Nobody wanted him because he looked scruffy.... but I'm a scruffy
guy so that suited me just fine. After picking out the scruffiest
dog at the pound, the narrator is surprised to find that Scruff
isn't what he initally seemed. He doesn't want to catch sticks...
or roll in the mud or swim in the pond. What could be the problem?
It turns out that Scruff just loves being pampered! So the narrator
goes along with it. They wash, brush, trim and polish together,
until they are anything but scruffy! In their newly groomed state
they go to the dog show... and win the prize for the dog that looks
most like its owner! A funny story that is sure to charm dog-mad
little ones and their parents.
Prostate cancer continues to be a major threat to men's health, the
second most common cancer in men, in many countries. Therefore it
is increasingly important that those faced with difficult clinical
questions make the right decisions. Since the first volume was
published in 2000, many debates persist but new controversies have
also emerged, reflected in the chapters of this new volume. New
authors have been recruited to give their insight into newer areas
of this controversial topic.
"Challenges in prostate cancer "provides a series of
state-of-the-art review articles, each of which addresses and
answers a contentious question. It includes chapters on medical and
surgical management of all stages of prostate cancer, clinical
investigation, epidemiology, clinical trials and basic scientific
research and covers issues such as the genetic basis of cancer,
clinical economics and influence.
The authors have used their expertise to distil the available
evidence into practical advice to be used by busy urologists in
their day-to-day practice. And as well as being an overview of
current practice many chapters attempt to give insights into the
future direction of prostate cancer research and clinical
management.
