A comprehensive, down-to-earth guide for anyone diagnosed with
breast cancer. Being diagnosed with breast cancer can be scary and
confusing. There are medical terms to learn, options to consider,
and important decisions to make, all while trying to carry on with
work, family, and life. The Breast Cancer Book can't reverse a
diagnosis or make breast cancer disappear, but every page can
inform and empower you or your loved ones, no matter where you are
in the breast cancer experience. Written by three trusted
experts-an oncologist, a breast surgeon, and a two-time breast
cancer survivor-this multidisciplinary book walks you through
everything you need to know about breast cancer so that you can
make the best decisions about diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up
care. In plain, easy-to-understand language that illuminates all
the facets of this disease, the authors draw on their professional
experience and the most current scientific knowledge to * describe
the risk factors for breast cancer; * explain the various tests
used to detect cancer; * clarify the full range of treatment
options, from surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation to newer
combination therapies; * provide insight from experts in genetics,
radiation oncology, and breast reconstruction; * present
inspirational true stories of breast cancer survivors; and *
simplify complex concepts with detailed graphics, tables,
illustrations, and photographs. A crash course on breast cancer
that will help get you or anyone you love through the physical and
emotional challenges of the disease, The Breast Cancer Book will
also help readers communicate with their cancer team. Packed with
information, this compassionate guide is the most up-to-date book
available.
The first-ever multivolume treatment of the issues in legal
philosophy and general jurisprudence, from both a theoretical and a
historical perspective. The work is aimed at jurists as well as
legal and practical philosophers. Edited by the renowned theorist
Enrico Pattaro and his team, this book is a classical reference
work that would be of great interest to legal and practical
philosophers as well as to jurists and legal scholar at all levels.
The work is divided in two parts. The theoretical part (published
in 2005), consisting of five volumes, covers the main topics of the
contemporary debate; the historical part, consisting of six volumes
(Volumes 6-8 published in 2007; Volumes 9 and 10, published in
2009; Volume 11 published in 2011 and Volume 12 forthcoming in
2015), accounts for the development of legal thought from ancient
Greek times through the twentieth century. The entire set will be
completed with an index. Volume 6: A History of the Philosophy of
Law from the Ancient Greeks to the Scholastics 2nd revised edition,
edited by Fred D. Miller, Jr. and Carrie-Ann Biondi Volume 6 is the
first of the Treatise's historical volumes (following the five
theoretical ones) and is dedicated to the philosophers' philosophy
of law from ancient Greece to the 16th century. The volume thus
begins with the dawning of legal philosophy in Greek and Roman
philosophical thought and then covers the birth and development of
European medieval legal philosophy, the influence of Judaism and
the Islamic philosophers, the revival of Roman and Christian canon
law, and the rise of scholastic philosophy in the late Middle Ages,
which paved the way for early-modern Western legal philosophy. This
second, revised edition comes with an entirely new chapter devoted
to the later Scholastics (Chapter 14, by Annabel Brett) and an
epilogue (by Carrie-Ann Biondi) on the legacy of ancient and
medieval thought for modern legal philosophy, as well as with
updated references and indexes.

In this volume, Patrick D. Miller studies the Ten Commandments
as ancient document and as contemporary guide. With careful
attention to each commandment in its original context, this book
shows the reader the modern relevance of these basic principles, as
well as how the ideas of each commandment influenced the New
Testament. More than an intellectual exercise, "The Ten
Commandments" applies the call of the commandments to modern-day
issues.
Westminster John Knox Press is proud to introduce an exciting
new phase in the renowned Interpretation commentary series. Instead
of focusing on individual books of the Bible, these new volumes
will focus on the Bible's most enduring passages and most vital
themes, bringing to these topics the insight and faithful wisdom
that are longtime hallmarks of the Interpretation series. This
expanded Interpretation series will be an excellent resource for
all those who teach, preach, and study the Bible.
This is a formidable collection of previously published essays by
this distinguished Old Testament scholar. Three significant areas
of biblical studies have been a focus of the author's attention
throughout his career: the Bible in its ancient Near Eastern world,
the Psalms, and Old Testament theology. In Part I, epigraphic
discoveries are examined for the light they shed on biblical texts.
In Part II, special attention is given to the theological
significance of reading the Psalms as a collection. In Part III, a
wide range of theological issues-creation, covenant, prayer,
cosmology, canon, and especially the nature and character of
God-are taken up in various essays that suggest how biblical
theology can contribute to the larger theological enterprise.
A secret army weapon development in Utah is infiltrated by enemy
agents. An inspecting General is killed, so the FBI is activated to
solve the case.
The authors began their philosophical and scientific studies
together in 1998. In developing their theory of omnipresence-the
timelessness of mass-energy through which consciousness flows-they
concluded that even though the concept of time provided
consciousness with the ability to sequentially order events, it
didn't function as a physical reality weaved into the fabric of
space. They specifically questioned the premise of time dilation in
Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. As one thought led to
another, this inquiry eventually led to a quantum model for
momentum, movement, relativity, and gravity, uniting the physics of
Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and Werner Heisenberg. What makes
this work significant is their absolute confidence in timelessness.
Taking time out of Einstein's theories unravels the mystery
preventing Einstein's work from being explained from a quantum
perspective.
Increase your awareness of the concerns facing the black disabled
community! Disability and the Black Community addresses physical,
mental, and learning disabilities experienced across age, gender,
and ethics groups by the black race in the United States. This
unique book works to increase understanding and awareness of those
working with the disabled by mobilizing advocates, providing
alternatives for successful intervention and planning, and
encouraging research in disability and rehabilitation. A
distinguished panel of researchers and practitioners provide
commentary on topics that include selected physical disabilities,
disabled children learning and program concerns, welfare reform,
public housing issues, domestic violence, and disability curriculum
contentall in accordance with the broadening of the definition of
disability as supported by the American Disabilities Act.
Disability and the Black Community raises the level of
understanding and awareness of the complex and diverse concerns
facing the disabled and their families in the community and the
workplace. The book is at once motivational, influential, and
empowering, examining social and political issues that compound the
ordeals confronting the black disabled. Topics addressed include:
learning disabilities, academic achievements, and mental health
issues of children health disparities and access to care welfare
reform, disability, and race practice, program, and curriculum
models and much more! Disability and the Black Community is an
essential resource for health professionals and advocates who work
with the black disabled. The book keeps practitioners up to date on
what is needed in terms of funding, facilities, and resources in
order to keep the larger society and significant resource systems
appraised of the needs of the disabled.
This extremely detailed two volume set gives an overall statistical
summary of 8th Air Force fighter operations during World War II.
Covering the period of September 1942 through the end of the war in
May 1945, the story of the 8th's fighters is presented in an easy
to read format. Each volume also contains over 170 photographs of
the pilots and their aircraft. Over the years, many books have been
written about the 8th Air Force, but none have combined all the
details that appear in these volumes - volume one combines the 8th
Air Force's day-to-day operations with individual unit histories;
volume two lists all scores and ace details. Kent Miller's books
are an invaluable aid to the researcher and historian.
This volume contains lectures and invited papers from the Focus
Program on "Nonlinear Dispersive Partial Differential Equations and
Inverse Scattering" held at the Fields Institute from July
31-August 18, 2017. The conference brought together researchers in
completely integrable systems and PDE with the goal of advancing
the understanding of qualitative and long-time behavior in
dispersive nonlinear equations. The program included Percy Deift's
Coxeter lectures, which appear in this volume together with
tutorial lectures given during the first week of the focus program.
The research papers collected here include new results on the
focusing nonlinear Schroedinger (NLS) equation, the massive
Thirring model, and the Benjamin-Bona-Mahoney equation as
dispersive PDE in one space dimension, as well as the
Kadomtsev-Petviashvili II equation, the Zakharov-Kuznetsov
equation, and the Gross-Pitaevskii equation as dispersive PDE in
two space dimensions. The Focus Program coincided with the fiftieth
anniversary of the discovery by Gardner, Greene, Kruskal and Miura
that the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation could be integrated by
exploiting a remarkable connection between KdV and the spectral
theory of Schrodinger's equation in one space dimension. This led
to the discovery of a number of completely integrable models of
dispersive wave propagation, including the cubic NLS equation, and
the derivative NLS equation in one space dimension and the
Davey-Stewartson, Kadomtsev-Petviashvili and Novikov-Veselov
equations in two space dimensions. These models have been
extensively studied and, in some cases, the inverse scattering
theory has been put on rigorous footing. It has been used as a
powerful analytical tool to study global well-posedness and
elucidate asymptotic behavior of the solutions, including
dispersion, soliton resolution, and semiclassical limits.
From the most common Chinese traditions to the most arcane, this
text contains over forty different Mahjong variants with detailed
explanations and hand illustrations to appeal to beginners and
masters alike. Ever wondered what else these beautiful tiles can
do? Also included are games like Meow Meow Mahjong, Sap Tim Pun,
Ten Phases, fortune telling and more. Tom Sloper of Sloperama
Productions writes "Scott Miller has amassed an impressive amount
of information about a great many mah-jongg variants. This is a
work that all scholars and researchers of mah-jongg and games will
need to add to their libraries. It's a valuable resource that's
sure to add some branches to the family tree of mah-jongg."
