Corneal refractive surgeons are likely already familiar with the
theory behind small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and the
excellent postoperative outcomes it can achieve, but they were left
without a thorough and comprehensive guide to performing the
procedure, until now. The Surgeon's Guide to SMILE: Small Incision
Lenticule Extraction is designed to provide surgeons who are
interested in starting or are already performing SMILE with a
detailed description of the preoperative assessment, surgical
technique, and postoperative management of SMILE treatments. This
book by Professor Dan Z. Reinstein, Mr. Timothy J. Archer, and Dr.
Glenn I. Carp is designed as a surgical video-fellowship, focusing
on the granular details of every aspect of patient preparation and
management with special attention to how to perform a perfect
routine SMILE procedure. The protocols and methods are sourced in
both the published scientific evidence and the extensive experience
and expertise of the authors. It also includes tips and tricks of
how to manage the full range of possible scenarios and
complications that can occur during and after a SMILE surgery. Each
process described in the book is accompanied by at least one, and
in many cases numerous, narrated video examples. Bonus! This
dynamic learning tool is supplemented by the SMILE video library
containing over 16 hours of surgical videos and tutorials. The
succinct and demonstrative style of The Surgeon's Guide to SMILE:
Small Incision Lenticule Extraction will help novice and
experienced SMILE surgeons alike learn important techniques and
improve their outcomes.
This book presents the work of leading hermeneutical theorists
alongside emerging thinkers, examining the current state of
hermeneutics within the Pentecostal tradition. The volume's
contributors present constructive ideas about the future of
hermeneutics at the intersection of theology of the Spirit,
Pentecostal Christianity, and other disciplines. This collection
offers cutting-edge scholarship that engages with and pulls from a
broad range of fields and points toward the future of
Pneumatological hermeneutics. The volume's interdisciplinary essays
are broken up into four sections: philosophical hermeneutics,
biblical-theological hermeneutics, social and cultural
hermeneutics, and hermeneutics in the social and physical sciences.

Drawing on the later writings of Martin Heidegger, the book traces
the correspondence between the philosopher's concept of technology
and Shakespeare's poetics of human and natural productivity in the
Sonnets.
Shakespeare was not a citizen of London. But the language of his
plays is shot through with the concerns of London 'freemen' and
their wives, the diverse commercial class that nevertheless
excluded adult immigrants from country towns and northern Europe
alike. This book combines London historiography, close reading, and
recent theories of citizen subjectivity to demonstrate for the
first time that Shakespeare's plays embody citizen and alien
identities despite their aristocratic settings. Through three
chapters, the book points out where the city shadows the country
scenes of the major comedies, shows how London's trades animate the
'civil butchery' of the history plays, ans explains why England's
metropolis becomes the fractured Rome of tragedy,

The need for this book has arisen from demand for a current text
from our students in Petroleum Engineering at Imperial College and
from post-experience Short Course students. It is, however, hoped
that the material will also be of more general use to practising
petroleum engineers and those wishing for aa introduction into the
specialist literature. The book is arranged to provide both
background and overview into many facets of petroleum engineering,
particularly as practised in the offshore environments of North
West Europe. The material is largely based on the authors'
experience as teachers and consultants and is supplemented by
worked problems where they are believed to enhance understanding.
The authors would like to express their sincere thanks and
appreciation to all the people who have helped in the preparation
of this book by technical comment and discussion and by giving
permission to reproduce material. In particular we would like to
thank our present colleagues and students at Imperial College and
at ERC Energy Resource Consultants Ltd. for their stimulating
company, Jill and Janel for typing seemingly endless manuscripts;
Dan Smith at Graham and Trotman Ltd. for his perseverence and
optimism; and Lesley and Joan for believing that one day things
would return to normality. John S. Archer and Colin G. Wall 1986 ix
Foreword Petroleum engineering has developed as an area of study
only over the present century. It now provides the technical basis
for the exploitation of petroleum fluids in subsurface sedimentary
rock reservoirs.
This timely guide addresses the daunting challenge of meeting the increasing demand for mental health counseling services with limited resources. An invaluable resource for counselors and administrators presenting the most current practices, models, and approaches for addressing the mental health needs of today's university students. In straightforward and clear language, James Archer Jr. and Stewart Cooper demonstrate how to organize, implement, and manage effective counseling, prevention, and development services on four year college campuses. Counseling and Mental Health Services on Campus explains how the efficient and effective models of brief therapy and group counseling are especially well-suited to the college environment and demonstrates how university programs can expand counseling services through the creative use of paraprofessionals, faculty, and staff, professional volunteers, and part-time staff. Archer and Cooper offer practical counseling approaches that will meet the needs of students with specific problems, such as substance abuse and eating disorders, as well as students with developmental concerns. The authors also suggest useful techniques and strategies for working with a variety of populations such as women, minority groups, gay, lesbian, and bisexual students, and adult learners. An innovative new approach is described which the authors call the initiator-catalyst approach and the book's illustrative examples demonstrate the application and effectiveness of this important new model.

This book is a constructive attempt at formulating a contemporary
Pentecostal theology grounded in worship and witness. The
theological vision expounded here is grounded in the Pentecostal
story with its emphasis upon the fivefold Gospel. The doxological
confession of Jesus as Savior, Sanctifier, Spirit Baptizer, Healer,
and soon coming King provide the basic organizational structure of
a Pentecostal narrative theology. Each chapter takes seriously
these central convictions and allows them to shape, form, and
reform various theological loci. Important issues such as
methodology, hermeneutics, and theology as embodied worship and
witness are addressed. The result is a vibrant and integrative
theology fueled by a dynamic spirituality.

In this state of the art study, Kenneth J. Archer provides the most
detailed and comprehensive analysis of Pentecostal Hermeneutics to
date. Archer identifies the hermeneutical filter through which the
Pentecostal story and identity is understood and meaning is made,
with specific attention given to the Central Narrative Convictions
of the Pentecostal Community. The model here proposed builds upon
the tridactic negotiation for meaning that draws upon the biblical
text, the Pentecostal community, and the role of the Holy Spirit.
Archer offers a significant paradigm for all those interested in
the topic of Pentecostal hermeneutics and its significance for
contemporary belief and practice. 'Archer has provided . . . an
insightful proposal for the kind of Pentecostal hermeneutic that is
appropriate to our contemporary context.' (R. Bauckham, Prof of NT,
Univ of St Andrew's, UK).
A true Gentleman is perceived as nothing less than that. In Damon's
life, he expresses a few exceptional traits, whether the world
notices or not. Inside this man's soft Heart, he accepts the beauty
only few can find in life, and allows it to warm his body. Souls
will meet, but they must overcome a previous encounter. A love is
difficult to replace, not mattering how great the effort to do so.
Even in hard times, he will visualize her eyes meeting his.

Collective labour law has recently been transformed. The Employment
Relations Act 1999 introduced radical reforms,including a procedure
for compulsory recognition of trade unions; additional protection
for employees dismissed while taking part in industrial action; and
changes to industrial action notices and ballots. The use of
'workforce agreements' to determine the scope of workers' rights
has been extended and the European Works Councils Directive has
been implemented in domestic law. The Human Rights Act 1998 also
has important implications for collective labour law. This new book
provides a fully comprehensive text which covers all areas of
collective labour law, statutory and common law. Relevant
international provisions are also highlighted, together with the
jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and other
international bodies. Recent developments are examined in their
thematic context, so enabling the reader to obtain an integrated
analysis of areas such as statutory rights of representation and
consultation, industrial action and union governance. Whilst this
book is intended for specialist labour lawyers, its treatment of
the subject will be accessible to those with no detailed prior
knowledge. TABLE OF CONTENTS Table of cases - Table of legislation
