A three-volume set of documentaries examining different aspects of
the drug trade. 'Ecstasy Bandits' (2010), profiles the scientists
responsible for the development of so-called 'designer drugs',
including Ecstasy, in recent times. 'Cocaine Bandits' (2008),
examines the way drug barons in the border region between the US
and Mexico are increasingly using paramiltary forces to achieve
their aims. Finally, 'Weed Bandits' (2003), examines both sides'
views in the campaign to allow the planting of industrial hemp in
the United States. In the pro camp, celebrity activists including
Woody Harrelson, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ralph Nader put
forward the argument that American farmers, already finding it hard
to survive in today's economic climate, are being criminalised for
going into competition with their rival synthetic manufacturers.
Behind many of the challenges facing us today is a failure of
leadership. This is not a new problem. Yearning for wise guidance
and effective authority is a perennial human longing. We need
leaders who are credible, competent and committed. But many leaders
seem to be caught up, even consumed, with their own power and
agendas. Some see the leadership crisis as an intellectual problem,
believing we lack a clear theory of leadership. Others view the
breakdown of leadership as a result of increasing deficiency in
moral character. Most leadership books today revolve around the
concepts of motivation, inspiration, empowerment, and teamwork.
Helpful as these themes might be, they miss something more
fundamental. Leadership needs a theological foundation, that will
be useful for shaping the undergirding principles, and evaluating
current leadership theories and practices. We need to view
leadership from the vantage point of God. In Rooted Leadership,
John E. Johnson explores how Christian theology provides an
overarching leadership framework and applies that theory to
leadership practices. Spiritual reflection, guided by scripture,
points us to the very center of leadership--God--and the purpose of
leadership--that we might display his glory. All the best forms of
leading take their cues from who God is, his purposes, and his ways
of working with people that he has progressively revealed. Building
on three decades of research, study, and experience as a global
leader, Johnson surveys the landscape of contemporary leadership
theory, unpacks the assumptions and beliefs that underly current
trends, and responds by offering a robust approach to leadership,
founded on the character, work, and words of God.
"A fitting biography of one of the most brilliant, acerbic, and
under-appreciated astrophysicists of the twentieth century. John
Johnson has delved deeply into a rich and eventful life, and
produced a rollicking account of how Fritz Zwicky split his time
between picking fights with his colleagues and discovering amazing
things about our universe."-Sean Carroll, author of The Big Picture
Fritz Zwicky was one of the most inventive and iconoclastic
scientists of his time. He predicted the existence of neutron
stars, and his research pointed the way toward the discovery of
pulsars and black holes. He was the first to conceive of the
existence of dark matter, the first to make a detailed catalog of
thousands of galaxies, and the first to correctly suggest that
cosmic rays originate from supernovas. Not content to confine his
discoveries to the heavens, Zwicky contributed to the United States
war against Japan with inventions in jet propulsion that enabled
aircraft to launch from carriers in the Pacific. After the war, he
was the first Western scientist to interview Wernher von Braun, the
Nazi engineer who developed the V-2 rocket. Later he became an
outspoken advocate for space exploration, but also tangled with
almost every leading scientist of the time, from Edwin Hubble and
Richard Feynman to J. Robert Oppenheimer and Subrahmanyan
Chandrasekhar. In Zwicky, John Johnson, Jr., brings this
tempestuous maverick to life. Zwicky not only made groundbreaking
contributions to science and engineering; he rose to fame as one of
the most imaginative science popularizers of his day. Yet he became
a pariah in the scientific community, denouncing his enemies, real
and imagined, as "spherical bastards" and "horses' asses." Largely
forgotten today, Zwicky deserves rediscovery for introducing some
of the most destructive forces in the universe, and as a reminder
that genius obeys no rules and has no friends.
John Johnson (1777 1848) worked for a private press at Lee Priory,
Kent, which published limited editions of poetry, prose and
pamphlets, but was not financially successful. Moving to London in
1824, Johnson produced this two-volume work on printing, which had
become a popular topic in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries. As with Hansard's Typographia of 1825 (also available in
this series), his knowledge of the history of printing is largely
derived from secondary works, particularly those of Dibdin. The
work was published in several formats, and contemporary reviewers
noted Johnson's highly ornate typography and use of engravings more
than the contents. Volume 1, in which Johnson was assisted by
Richard Thomson, Librarian of the London Institution, covers the
history of printing. It lists printers working in England up to the
end of the sixteenth century, with bibliographical details of
titles known to have been published by them.

modern students of printing, as it deals with the practical aspects
of the print trade. It includes numerous specimens of type in
different alphabets, and explanations of type casting and
imposition. It also describes how to manage a print shop, as well
as the different kinds of press, including recent inventions such
as the Stanhope, Columbian and Albion, and ends with a brief
account of steam presses and stereotype.
This volume covers the full spectrum of modern structural virology.
Its goal is to describe the means for defining moderate to high
resolution structures and the basic principles that have emerged
from these studies. Among the topics covered are Hybrid Vigor,
Structural Folds of Viral Proteins, Virus Particle Dynamics, Viral
Gemone Organization, Enveloped Viruses and Large Viruses.
* Covers viral assembly using heterologous expression systems and
cell extracts
* Discusses molecular mechanisms in bacteriophage T7 procapsid
assembly, maturation and DNA containment
* Includes information on structural studies on antibody/virus
complexes
