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.

This inspiring 70-mile pilgrim route starts from North Berwick on
the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh, and continues via Whitekirk's
12th century church to Dunbar. It follows the North Sea coastline
to the stunning scenery of St Abb's Head and visits Coldingham
Priory, perhaps Scotland's most important Benedictine monastery.
Enjoy impressive cliffs and dramatic sea stacks between visits to
historic fishing villages. Cross the border and enter Berwick with
its ramparts, walls and bridges across the River Tweed. The route
culminates with a barefoot crossing of the Holy Island sands to
Lindisfarne, where St Aidan founded a monastery in AD 635. Most
people will complete the route within 5 to 8 days, staying in
friendly B&Bs along the route, but it can also be done in
several shorter expeditions using train and bus. This 72-page
guidebook contains all you need to plan and enjoy the Forth to
Farne Way: route detail in sections, with distance, terrain and
refreshments where to find food and accommodation background on the
spiritual dimension, geology and wildlife planning information for
travel by train, bus, car or plane 16 pages with detailed route
mapping at 1:30,000 in full colour, with 80 photographs
rucksack-friendly and on rainproof paper.
Recalling Gurdjieff's intent for his first series: "To destroy,
mercilessly, without any compromises whatsoever, in the mentation
and feelings of the reader, the beliefs and views, by centuries
rooted in him, about everything existing in the world." For years
Gurdjieff's followers have been working, reading, struggling to
understand his writing. We are like miners chipping away at the
rocks of his books, seeking the dog he so carefully buried. That
"dog" has been waiting patiently to be disinterred, but we have
been digging with the wrong tools. A few new "shovels" and "picks"
which may be helpful are suggested in this book. They are here for
the taking; use them as you will. As a word of caution, though, be
careful when you pull the dog out. He can be, at times, a bit wild.
And let's face it, he's probably hungry after fifty years
underground. That is to say, that dog could jump up and bite the
legs right out from under some of your more treasured beliefs - or
it might even bite you somewhere dearer. The purpose of the second
series is "To acquaint the reader with the material required for a
new creation, and to prove the soundness and good quality of it."
It is a ripening of time. The seeds of Gurdjieff's Picture-form
language have been planted for over five decades, and are now ready
to burst through the soil of our Psyche to reveal the holographic
images of the messages he intended for us. And the purpose of the
third series: "To assist the arising in the mentation and in the
feelings of the reader, of a veritable, nonfantastic representation
not of that illusory world which he now perceives, but of the world
existing in reality." "And with regard to languages (Russian
andEnglish)," Gurdjieff said, "both these languages are like the
dish which is called "Moscow Solinka," and into which everything
goes except you and me, in fact everything you wish and even the
after dinner chesma (veil) of Sheherazade. And from behind that
veil Gurdjieff's hand now reaches to pull back the curtain,
enabling us to see, if we will but open our eyes to the images
hidden behind the words, the esoteric teachings of the ages through
which all things become possible. Emily and Sophia Henderson
Ernest Starling (1866-1927) was pre-eminent in the golden age of
British Physiology. His name is usually associated with his ???Law
of the Heart, ??? but his discovery of secretin (the first hormone
whose mode of action was explained) and his work on capillaries
were more important contributions. He coined the word 'hormone' one
hundred years ago. His analysis of capillary function demonstrated
that equal and opposite forces move across the capillary wall--an
outward (hydrostatic) force and an inward (osmotic) force derived
from plasma proteins.
Starling??'s contributions include:
*Developing the "Frank-Starling Law of the Heart," presented in
1915 and modified in 1919.
*The Starling equation, describing fluid shifts in the body (1896)
*The discovery of secretin, the first hormone, with Bayliss (1902)
and the introduction of the concept of hormones (1905).

In this fascinating and richly illustrated book, John Henderson
takes us into the Renaissance hospitals of Florence, recreating the
enormous barn-like wards and exploring the lives of those who
received and those who administered treatment there. Drawing on an
exceptional range of visual and documentary evidence, Henderson
overturns the popular view of the pre-industrial hospital as a
hellish destination for the dying poor. To the contrary, hospitals
of the era developed specialized, professional care; became
important centers of artistic patronage; and served a large patient
population, only ten percent of whom died during their stay. The
book explores the civic role of Renaissance hospitals, their
beautiful architecture and interior design, and their methods of
medical treatment that continue to influence healthcare practices
today.
This volume covers a variety of topics in the field of research in
strategic management and information technology. These topics
include organizational fit and flexibility and the determinants of
business unit reliance on information technologies.
In this interactive study, biblical counselor John Henderson uses a workbook approach to guide you through your marriage preparationhelping you to understand the purpose of marriage, to handle conflict, to glorify Christ in your union and finances, and to get to know your own heart and expectations. Many threats to a marriage can be identified even before the wedding takes place. Even better, God's gospel provides the means of overcoming them.
