William Clark was Professor of Anatomy at Cambridge for nearly
fifty years, collecting many specimens of bones for use in the
study of comparative anatomy, physiology and osteology. These
formed a principal part of the collection that eventually became
the university's Museum of Zoology. He wished to support students
of natural sciences in acquiring knowledge from direct observation
of well arranged and accurately identified specimens. The 1,289
items, catalogued in 1862, include 128 from humans of various races
and dates. These include masks of the faces of Isaac Newton,
William Pitt and Benjamin Franklin. This focus reflects, in part,
the nineteenth-century fascination with phrenology. A regular
participant in the influential Cambridge Philosophical Society, in
May 1860 William Clark made there what Darwin perceived to be a
'savage onslaught' on his recently published On the Origin of
Species. This book reveals Clark's very different approach to
studying the tree of life.

compare with other centres, and what it can do to maintain its
present position? The book examines how the great network of
markets and institutions that make up the City operated when the
book was written, providing key chapters on the Stock Exchange,
institutional and private investors, the banking world, including
foreign and merchant banks, the commodity and money markets,
Euromarkets, Sterling and insurance. This book will be of interest
to those studying or researching in the field of economics and
finance.

and safety. From basic engineering principles to the latest
drilling technology, the text covers the fundamentals and their
real-world applications. Alphabetically arranged for quick
reference, it contains easy-to-understand descriptions and figures,
as well as oil and gas SI units and metric equivalents. Industry
newcomers and personnel with no technical background especially
benefit from the book's practical language that clearly
demonstrates the concepts behind the definitions.
Little is known about William Clarke, the author of this 1819
survey of libraries in Britain, though hints in the opening pages
suggest that he was acquainted with the activities of the Roxburghe
Club. His object is 'to assist ... the collector in his pursuit of
valuable editions of rare books'. A short survey of the major
libraries of Europe is followed by descriptions of the collections
which make up the British Museum's library, the great 'public'
libraries, including those of Oxford and Cambridge, and the
libraries of learned societies. Private libraries covered include
those of Sir Joseph Banks, William Beckford, and the duke of
Marlborough. The final portion of the work describes the content of
some great library sales (a fuller list of sales having been given
earlier in the book), from the seventeenth century to Clarke's own
time. This remains a useful source for bibliographers and those
interested in the provenance of books.

A major study of the doctrine of the Atonement from an Evangelical
perspective, showing its theological and historical significance.
The author explores the views of patristic, medieval, Reformation
and modern theologians, but the whole work is based on a profoundly
Biblical understanding. At the same time it reconciles theological
and philosophical thinking in such a way that both receive and
exercise their full rights. The Christian view of the world-order
is shown as providing the final fact of the eternal order when God
shall be seen as all in all.

Clinical Challenges in Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Special
Populations, Physiological Conditions and Pharmacogenomics focuses
on critical issues in therapeutic drug monitoring including special
requirements of therapeutic drug monitoring important to special
populations (infants and children, pregnant women, elderly
patients, and obese patients). The book also covers issues of free
drug monitoring and common interferences in using immunoassays for
therapeutic drug monitoring. This book is essential reading for any
clinician, fellow, or trainee who wants to gain greater insight
into the process of therapeutic drug monitoring for individual
dosage adjustment and avoiding drug toxicity for certain drugs
within a narrow therapeutic window. The book is written
specifically for busy clinicians, fellows, and trainees who order
therapeutic drug monitoring and need to get more familiar with
testing methodologies, issues of interferences, and interpretation
of results in certain patient populations.
Following orders from President Thomas Jefferson, Captains
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out from their wintering
camp in Illinois in 1804 to search for a river passage to the
Pacific Ocean. In this riveting account, editor Gary E. Moulton
blends the narrative highlights of the Lewis and Clark journals so
that the voices of the enlisted men and of Native peoples are heard
alongside the words of the captains. All their triumphs and terrors
are here-the thrill of seeing the vast herds of bison on the
plains; the tensions and admiration in the first meetings with
Indian peoples; Lewis's rapture at the stunning beauty of the Great
Falls; the fear the captains felt when a devastating illness befell
their Shoshone interpreter, Sacagawea; the ordeal of crossing the
Continental Divide; the kidnapping and rescuing of Lewis's dog,
Seaman; miserable days of cold and hunger; and Clark's joy at
seeing the Pacific. The cultural differences between the corps and
Native Americans make for living drama that at times provokes
laughter but more often is poignant and, at least once, tragic.
The new Must Know series is like a lightning bolt to the brain
Every school subject has must know ideas, or essential concepts,
that lie behind it. This book will use that fact to help you learn
in a unique way. Most study guides start a chapter with a set of
goals, often leaving the starting point unclear. In Must Know High
School Trigonometry, however, each chapter will immediately
introduce you to the must know idea, or ideas, that lie behind the
new trigonometry topic. As you learn these must know ideas, the
book will show you how to apply that knowledge to solving
trigonometry problems. Focused on the essential concepts of
trigonometry, this accessible guide will help you develop a solid
understanding of the subject quickly and painlessly. Clear
explanations are accompanied by numerous examples and followed with
more challenging aspects of trigonometry. Practical exercises close
each chapter and will instill you with confidence in your growing
trigonometry skills. Must Know High School Trigonometry features: *
Each chapter begins with the must know ideas behind the new topic *

Mass Spectrometry for the Clinical Laboratory is an accessible
guide to mass spectrometry and the development, validation, and
implementation of the most common assays seen in clinical labs. It
provides readers with practical examples for assay development, and
experimental design for validation to meet CLIA requirements,
appropriate interference testing, measuring, validation of ion
suppression/matrix effects, and quality control. These tools offer
guidance on what type of instrumentation is optimal for each assay,
what options are available, and the pros and cons of each. Readers
will find a full set of tools that are either directly related to
the assay they want to adopt or for an analogous assay they could
use as an example. Written by expert users of the most common
assays found in a clinical laboratory (clinical chemists,
toxicologists, and clinical pathologists practicing mass
spectrometry), the book lays out how experts in the field have
chosen their mass spectrometers, purchased, installed, validated,
and brought them on line for routine testing. The early chapters of
the book covers what the practitioners have learned from years of
experience, the challenges they have faced, and their
recommendations on how to build and validate assays to avoid
problems. These chapters also include recommendations for
maintaining continuity of quality in testing. The later parts of
the book focuses on specific types of assays (therapeutic drugs,
Vitamin D, hormones, etc.). Each chapter in this section has been
written by an expert practitioner of an assay that is currently
running in his or her clinical lab.
