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 mosses (Bryophatea, Musci) are a diverse and widely distributed
group of land plants. Mosses are attractive experimental plants
because they exhibit the traditional attributes of good model
systems (Le. ease of growth & maintenance, fast generation
time, and amenable genetics) with the added advantage of a haploid
gametophyte that allowed developmental mutants to be recovered with
relative ease. In addition, mosses with the ability to tolerate
extreme environmental conditions offer realistic models for the
analysis of environmental stress-tolerance; particularly when
compared to tracheophytes such as Arabidopsis thaliana in which
these important plant phenotypes are either not clearly expressed
or entirely lacking. And, in one of the most exciting developments
in Plant Biology, efficient homologous recombination occurs in the
moss Physcomitrella patens. The ability to perform efficient
homologous recombination (Le. gene knock-outs) in P. patens is at
present unique amongst all plants and represents an extremely
powerful technique for the functional analysis of many plant genes.
Over the past 5 years, a world-wide community of moss researchers
has evolved. A highly successful "Moss" conference has been held
annually (l998-Mumbai, India; 1999-Carbondale, IL, USA;
2000-Villars, Switzerland; 200l-0kazaki, Japan; 2002-Ambleside, UK;
2003-St. Louis, MO, USA) with "Moss 2004" planned to be held in
Frieburg Germany. These conferences have been instrumental in the
creation & development of strong collaborative ties, and the
free exchange of both ideas and materials.
- Focuses on a very physical and specific understanding of how
humans measure and interpret the measurements of the quantity of
time, unlike existing books which explore qualitative, speculative
theories currently entertained in physics and philosophy.
Since its first publication in 1970, A Survey of Israel s History
has established itself as a popular and useful text in Bible
colleges and seminaries. This revision by David O Brien, which
brings A Survey of Israel s History up to date, is certain to add
to its value and continue its popularity. A chapter on the
Intertestamental Period has been added. Numerous line-maps, charts,
and diagrams help to clarity details. An extensive chronological
chart provides an overall summary of names and dates.
Authoritative, thoroughly biblical, factually sound, and movingly
human -- A Survey of Israel s History will prove enormously helpful
to the student of the Bible, and to anyone in search of a
definitive history of the chosen people."
