Jesus is the most influential person who ever lived. But for many
of us, he has ceased to be a real person. We've sanitised him with
pious jargon, framed him in stained glass, and reduced him to a
religious puppet who floats through biblical landscapes dispensing
Christian cliches and nice advice. It's time for a fresh look at
the man this book describes as "a square peg in a society of round
holes." Whether you're new to Jesus or just want to rediscover him
with fresh eyes, this is the book for you. No dry theological
treatise, it's written in an engaging, sometimes even humorous,
style. In short, readable chapters, you'll get a tour of important
background info and fascinating history that will bring to life the
era in which Jesus lived. Then you'll read about his birth, his
adult ministry and teaching, and the crucial last week of his life
on earth. You'll catch a glimpse of the impact and excitement as
news of Jesus spread around the world. And finally, you'll be
inspired to think about what Jesus means for us today.
It s the bestselling book ever. It s been translated into more than
2,000 languages. It s changed people s lives around the world. No,
it s not Thin Thighs in 30 Days . . . it s the Bible Yet the Bible
remains about as well-understood to many people as your typical
software license agreement---and about as exciting. That s too bad,
because the Bible is exciting, and it doesn t have to be a mystery.
Whether you re new to the Bible and think the book of Job is a
guide to finding the perfect career, or your rusty Bible knowledge
needs a spit-and-polish, or you just want a fresh look at the book
you ve read so many times, this is the book for you. No dry
theological treatise, it s written in an engaging, humorous style
you will enjoy. In short, readable chapters, the authors first
answer some basic questions: Who wrote the Bible? Is it accurate?
How do you find your way around it? And how did Noah fit all those
animals into the ark anyway? (Well, maybe not that, but there s
still plenty of trivia in there.) Then they take you on a guided
tour from Genesis to Revelation, summarizing important people,
events, and themes. You ll get a good foundation for understanding
and an excitement for reading this most important of books, the
Bible. The title says it all It s an inspiring trailer for the Best
Book in the World. Read it front to back or just dip in---either
way it does the biz. ---Rob Lacey, author of the word on the
street, actor and broadcaster"

Fletch (Chevy Chase), a reporter with a habit of assuming different
disguises, flies to the enormous Louisiana home left to him in a
will, only to find it a ruin. Before he can leave, a woman drops
dead and he becomes embroiled in a murder mystery. Sequel to the
1985 original.
This book outlines the interaction of cadmium with the proteome and
signalling molecules of mammalian cells. Chapters from expert
contributors cover topics such as cadmium chemical biology,
membrane receptors and transporters for cadmium and cadmium
complexes, and targets of cadmium toxicity. Students and
researchers working in bioinorganic chemistry will find this book
an important account.
Applied Photochemistry encompasses the major applications of the
chemical effects resulting from light absorption by atoms and
molecules in chemistry, physics, medicine and engineering, and
contains contributions from specialists in these key areas.
Particular emphasis is placed both on how photochemistry
contributes to these disciplines and on what the current
developments are. The book starts with a general description of the
interaction between light and matter, which provides the general
background to photochemistry for non-specialists. The following
chapters develop the general synthetic and mechanistic aspects of
photochemistry as applied to both organic and inorganic materials,
together with types of materials which are useful as light
absorbers, emitters, sensitisers, etc. for a wide variety of
applications. A detailed discussion is presented on the
photochemical processes occurring in the Earth's atmosphere,
including discussion of important current aspects such as ozone
depletion. Two important distinct, but interconnected, applications
of photochemistry are in photocatalytic treatment of wastes and in
solar energy conversion. Semiconductor photochemistry plays an
important role in these and is discussed with reference to both of
these areas. Free radicals and reactive oxygen species are of major
importance in many chemical, biological and medical applications of
photochemistry, and are discussed in depth. The following chapters
discuss the relevance of using light in medicine, both with various
types of phototherapy and in medical diagnostics. The development
of optical sensors and probes is closely related to diagnostics,
but is also relevant to many other applications, and is discussed
separately. Important aspects of applied photochemistry in
electronics and imaging, through processes such as
photolithography, are discussed and it is shown how this is
allowing the increasing miniaturisation of semiconductor devices
for a wide variety of electronics applications and the development
of nanometer scale devices. The final two chapters provide the
basic ideas necessary to set up a photochemical laboratory and to
characterise excited states. This book is aimed at those in
science, engineering and medicine who are interested in applying
photochemistry in a broad spectrum of areas. Each chapter has the
basic theories and methods for its particular applications and
directs the reader to the current, important literature in the
field, making Applied Photochemistry suitable for both the novice
and the experienced photochemist.

Peter Gripton relates his life story from early days in wartime
Liverpool through his school days and an exciting career with the
British Army to retiring in rural Hampshire.
For the past 20 years, Peter Ward has been at the forefront of
popular science writing with books such as the influential and
controversial Rare Earth. Ward, with his signature blend of
eloquence, humour and learned insight, vividly details the latest
scientific findings, cutting-edge research and intrepid new
theories on the subject of alien life and the possible
extraterrestrial origins of life on Earth. In lucid entertaining
prose, Peter Ward once again challenges our notions of life on
earth (and beyond).
