MRI/DTI Atlas of the Human Brainstem in Transverse and Sagittal
Planes presents a detailed view of the human brainstem in DTI/MRI.
It is the first ever MRI or histological atlas to present detailed
diagrams of sagittal views of the brainstem. Presenting data of
unprecedented quality, images are juxtaposed with detailed diagrams
in the transverse and sagittal planes. The atlas features a 50
micron resolution for the GRE and 200 microns for the FAC and DWI,
8000 times higher than that seen in a clinical MRI and 1000 times
higher than that seen in a clinical DTI scan, all based on one
brain. This atlas is important for neuroscientists, neurosurgeons,
pathologists, anatomists, neurophysiologists, radiologists,
radiotherapists (e.g., for cyberknife guidance), and graduate
students in neuroscience.
First published in 1993, completely rewritten, this second edition
includes a list of all 210 countries of the world and all of the
islands, with comments on the existence of insect and spider
collections, both public and private. These listings are arranged

collections listed under the public collection with which they are
registered. Part II of the directory is an alphabetical list of the
codes assigned to each of the collections described in Part I. This
list is also cross-referenced to variations of the codes used in
other works, which will eliminate any confusion over this
duplication. This classic work provides a ready reference to all
collections and is required by all insect and spider systematists.

We live in a time of troubling challenges to the security and
permanence of marriage and family. Differences exist among children
of God on the issues of marriage, divorce, and remarriage. Families
have been rocked by the harsh realities of divorce. Churches have
faced questions of meaning and application of the Biblical text
which have sometimes resulted in division. And yet, to the credit
of men and women of varying opinions, many are still asking sincere
questions about the teaching of the Bible on this important topic.
"Is it Lawful?" represents the effort of thirty men over a period
of more than two years. It is the product of men seeking Truth on
vital issues that threaten families, churches, and eternal souls.
Care has been taken to assemble material that will aid in honest
study of questions concerning divorce.
