This volume is a collection of essays analyzing different issues
concerning the nature, possibility, and desirability of heaven as
understood by the Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity. and
Islam. Topics include whether or not it is possible that a mortal
could, upon bodily death, become an inhabitant of heaven without
loss of identity, where exactly heaven might be located, whether or
not everyone should be saved, or if there might be alternative
destinations (including some less fiery versions of Hell). Chapter
authors include believers and skeptics, well-known philosophers,
and new voices. While some chapters are more challenging than
others, all are written in a style that should be accessible to any
interested reader.

The true story of a spirited young woman whose brilliant mind is
caught in the grip of mental illness, known as bipolar disorder. In
constant flux between transient euphoria and utter despair, Camille
attempts to decode her mind and treat her illness. However, she
discovers that the will of the patient is not always enough to cure
the ills of the mind, and the only way she can find a semblance of
peace is when surrounded and supported - if not understood. It is
this compassion which allows her to stay anchored in life, a buoy
ebbing and flowing with the ocean.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The liquid crystalline state may be identified as a distinct and
unique state of matter which is characterised by properties which
resembles those of both solids and liquids. It was first recognised
in the middle of the last century through the study of nerve myelin
and derivatives of cholesterol. The research in the area really
gathered momentum, however, when as a result of the pioneering work
of Gray in the early 1970's organic compounds showing liquid
crystalline properties were shown to be suitable to form the basis
of display devices in the electronic products. The study of liquid
crystals is truly multidisciplinary and has attached the attention
of physicists, biologists, chemists, mathematicians and electronics
engineers. It is therefore impossible to cover all these aspects
fully in two small volumes and therefore it was decided in view of
the overall title of the series to concentrate on the structural
and bonding aspects of the subject. The Chapters presented in these
two volumes have been organised to cover the following fundamental
aspects of the subject. The calculation of the structures of liquid
crystals, an account of their dynamical properties and a discussion
of computer simulations of liquid crystalline phases formed by Gay
Berne mesogens. The relationships between molecular conformation
and packing are analysed in some detail. The crystal structures of
liquid crystal mesogens and the importance of their X ray
scattering properties for characterisational purposes are
discussed.
The analysis of vegetables and vegetable products is now an
important part of everyday life. From the dietary point of view we
need to know both the positive and negative aspects of the
vegetables we consume - whether they have a high fibre content, for
example, or what pesticide residues are present. And from the
producers' standpoint, we need to know the methods that are being
used to develop new and better vegetables. Thus, genetic analysis
becomes important. In this book, a chapter on genetic mapping of
pea is included, together with approaches to squash and pumpkin
breeding with high carotene content. Also, there are chapters
covering the analysis of leaf protein and the oxalic acid content
of vegetables, and the analysis of vegetables consumed in tropical
Africa. All in all, it is a useful book to have on the shelf for
those interested in horticulture, human nutrition or chemical
analysis.
