The book begins by revealing new ideas about how and why embolic
stroke and heart attacks share a common history involving clot
formation. The only distinction between the two diseases is where
the clot finally stops. If in the brain, it results in a stroke; if
in the heart muscle, a heart attack. Thus the first portion of the
book (Chapters 1-4) documents how the mechanism of clot formation
was studied through the eyes of a lifelong research scientist who
was not a stroke expert, but a stroke survivor. Described in those
chapters are entirely new ideas about how and why clots form, and
how to prevent them. While my four years of stroke investigation
(so far) was unfolding, I simultaneously carefully recorded my
daily observations as I experienced an embolic shower-type of
stroke. My goal was to assemble a guide for all stroke victims
alerting them what to expect, and also my evaluation of a number of
treatment modalities, nutrients/supplements etc., designed to save
money and frustration to newcomers to the stroke world as well as
the initiated. The big difference between this and other accounts
of embolic stroke is that in this case it is framed in the context
of an aging body. If you do not already know, this distinction is
important since there is a fine line between the effects of aging
and the effects of stroke. The upshot of this book is to offer my
evidence to the reader that stroke and heart attack are largely
avoidable diseases. My thought is, if the reader thinks what I say
makes sense, they can take the recommended action starting today to
minimize their risk. And it is so incredibly simple and virtually
cost-free.

The linkage of development aid to the promotion of human rights, democracy and good governancewas a striking departure in the post-cold war foreign policies of Northern "donor" governments. Uniquely, this book provides a systematic and comparative investigation of policies and practices in the 1990s to promote political reform in Southern '"ecipient'"countries by four donors, the governments of Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States, plus the European Union.The use of both carrot and stick ( that is democracy assistance and aid sanctions) is examined andsharp criticism of current practice offered.
Comprehensive in scope, this carefully crafted introductory grammar
of Biblical Hebrew offers easy-to-understand explanations, numerous
biblical illustrations, and a wide range of imaginative, biblically
based exercises. The book consists of thirty-one lessons, each
presenting grammatical concepts with examples and numerous
exercises judiciously selected from the biblical text. These
lessons are accompanied by eleven complete verb charts, an
extensive vocabulary list, a glossary of grammatical terms, and a
subject index. In this second edition Timothy Crawford has updated
the text throughout while preserving the Page Kelley approach that
has made Biblical Hebrew so popular over the years.

One of the barriers involved in teaching students of Biblical
Hebrew about the Masorah is the lack of introductory literature on
the subject. Although a lot of information about the Masorah is
available in print, most of it is in technical professional
journals or encyclopedia articles. Scattered about in disparate
sources, often not in English, this literature is easier to ignore
than it is to incorporate into introductory Hebrew classes. As a
result, most students of Biblical Hebrew complete their studies
without any background on the Masorah. This volume fills this gap
by providing an introduction and glossary to the Masorah of the
Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. Although the volume could be used
by any student of the Hebrew Bible, it is specifically designed to
be helpful for students who are just learning Hebrew. Thus it can
serve as an important parallel text for second semester or second
year Hebrew courses. The introductory chapters give an overview of
the field of Masoretic studies and explain the mechanics of using
the Masorah of BHS. The annotated glossary provides students with
definitions and explanations for most of the terms used in BHS,
including examples.
