This guidebook, Via Ferratas of the Italian Dolomites Volume 2, is
the second in a series of two published by Cicerone Press, which
now fully replaces the previous Cicerone guidebook, Scrambles in
the Dolomites, adding many new routes through the southern, Brenta
and Lake Garda areas.Volume two documents southern Dolomites Via
Ferrata routes in the major mountain ranges of Civetta, Schiara and
Pala as well as those to the west in the Brenta. A significant
addition (and, as far as we are aware, not previously published in
any English-language guidebook) is the inclusion of routes around
the northern end of Lake Garda and the Piccole Dolomites north of
Vicenza. Here the mountains are generally lower and you can enjoy
ferrata climbing over a much extended season, with some routes
accessible for most of the year. While volume one covered the
eastern, northern and central areas of the Dolomites, book two
completes the picture, focusing on the southern, Brenta and Lake
Garda areas.
The year 2009 is the Anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and
the 150th publication of his book on "The Origin of Species". The
ideas which Darwin stimulated lie at the heart of our understanding
of the natural world. They offer and elegant scientific account
which elicits a positive response from and gives much to theology.
Yet in recent years the Intelligent Design movement amongst
creationists in the United States in opposition, not only to
Darwinism, but also and consistently, to contemporary Western
values and to mainstream liberal theology. It is now infiltrating
the United Kingdom. In this book a group of scientists and
theologians unite to honour Charles Darwin, expressing their common
conviction that Darwinian evolution marks a very great advance in
human understanding of the world and that Intelligent Design is an
unproductive dead end. "Intelligent Faith" will be of interest not
only to thinking people with an interest in theology and science
but also to sixth formers, school discussion groups and university
societies.
Published in 1978: this book contains the text of the Select
Discourses of the author. The author covers a variety of religious
topics in these essays, including superstition, atheism and the
existence and nature of God.
Cellular proteinases and their physiological role in normal and
disease states have been the subject of great interest over recent
decades. At present, specific protease inhibitors are exploited
both as tools in unraveling the role of individual proteinases in
particular cellular processes and for the development of
chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of various disorders.
Proteinase and Peptidase Inhibition presents updated progress
reports on the characterization of a wide range of cellular
proteinases whose inhibitors may hold the key to the development of
new drugs. Introductory chapters deal with the broad enzyme
classes, inhibitor types and regulatory mechanisms governing
proteinase activity. The target enzymes themselves, together with
all aspects of their inhibition and inhibitor design, are
comprehensively described. The classification of target enzymes by
structural similarity, rather than by pharmacological effects,
provides a new and coherent platform for understanding how
inhibition of different targets can lead to the same therapeutic
outcomes. This is a valuable reference book that will appeal to
both academic and industrial researchers in the fields of medicinal
chemistry, drug design and development, pharmacology, biochemistry,
and molecular and cell biology.
