What begins as an unexpected 3:34 a.m. wake-up call from a
long-forgotten high school acquaintance ends with Mike Thompson
behind bars-and smack in the middle of an international conspiracy.
Mike agrees to meet up with the desperate-sounding Conrad Nash, who
shares with him a series of mysterious e-mails that look to have
originated in 1966. But back in '66, the Internet and e-mail
communication as we know it would not exist for another twenty-plus
years. Stranger still, the e-mails appear to have been sent by
Vincent Hopper, their former high school teacher who has been dead
for nearly two decades. Eager to break the monotony of his daily
grind, and plenty willing to accept the cash that the paranoid
Conrad offers for his confidence and assistance, Mike begins an
investigation that leads him through a trail of riddles, lies, and
deceit and reveals scandals that test his marriage and threaten a
worldwide holocaust. Dark secrets behind the creation of the World
Wide Web link to the Cold War and through to today's War on Terror
in this provocative suspense thriller which confirms that, indeed,
the things one does today leads to the things one inherits
tomorrow.
The burgeoning of research on signed language during the last two
decades has had a major influence on several disciplines concerned
with mind and language, including linguistics, neuroscience,
cognitive psychology, child language acquisition, sociolinguistics,
bilingualism, and deaf education. The genealogy of this research
can be traced to a remarkable degree to a single pair of scholars,
Ursula Bellugi and Edward Klima, who have conducted their research
on signed language and educated scores of scholars in the field
since the early 1970s.
"The Signs of Language Revisited" has three major objectives:
* presenting the latest findings and theories of leading
scientists in numerous specialties from language acquisition in
children to literacy and deaf people;
* taking stock of the distance scholarship has come in a given
field, where we are now, and where we should be headed; and
* acknowledging and articulating the intellectual debt of the
authors to Bellugi and Klima--in some cases through personal
reminiscences.
Thus, this book is also a document in the sociology and history of
science.
"Palgrave Advances in Irish History" provides a much-needed
historiographical and interpretative overview of Irish history.
While there has always been a large amount of history written in
and about Ireland much of it has focused only on the (putative)
nation state and relations with Britain. This volume focuses not
only on political histories but offers a comprehensive account of
Irish history in its manifold aspects such as literary, labor,
medical and women's history and history of the Irish population and
diasporas, sexuality, and cultural identity, language and
traditions.
First published in 1989. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
Movement is the way that animals interact with their environment
and is under the organization and complex control of the brain and
spinal cord. Multiple central nervous systems, including cortex,
basal ganglia, cerebellum, and brainstem, interact to provide
precise motor control and integration. Damage or disease within
these systems cause profound motor disturbances in man, which can
be effectively modeled in animals to develop a better understanding
and treatment of the human condition. Animal Models of Movement
Disorders introduces a variety of methods and techniques used to
model and assess motor function in experimental animals from lower
orders, such as drosophila and c. elegans, through vertebrate
species including fish, to mammals, such as rodents and non-human
primates. The most advanced contemporary models in each system are
presented at multiple levels of analysis from molecular and genetic
modeling, lesions, anatomy, neurochemistry, to imaging and
behavior. Volume II of this detailed collection contains sections
on the basal ganglia, neo- and allo-cortical systems, cerebellar
and brain stem systems, as well as spinal cord systems.
Comprehensive and meticulous, Animal Models of Movement Disorders
serves as a valuable reference for those studying motor disorders
by covering methodologies in detail and providing the information
necessary to consider both the appropriate models and assessment
tools that can most informatively answer the key experimental
issues in the field.

The Word Biblical Commentary delivers the best in biblical
scholarship, from the leading scholars of our day who share a
commitment to Scripture as divine revelation. This series
emphasizes a thorough analysis of textual, linguistic, structural,
and theological evidence. The result is judicious and balanced
insight into the meanings of the text in the framework of biblical
theology. These widely acclaimed commentaries serve as exceptional
resources for the professional theologian and instructor, the
seminary or university student, the working minister, and everyone
concerned with building theological understanding from a solid base
of biblical scholarship. Overview of Commentary Organization
Introduction-covers issues pertaining to the whole book, including
context, date, authorship, composition, interpretive issues,
purpose, and theology. Each section of the commentary includes:
Pericope Bibliography-a helpful resource containing the most
important works that pertain to each particular pericope.
Translation-the author's own translation of the biblical text,
reflecting the end result of exegesis and attending to Hebrew and
Greek idiomatic usage of words, phrases, and tenses, yet in
reasonably good English. Notes-the author's notes to the
translation that address any textual variants, grammatical forms,
syntactical constructions, basic meanings of words, and problems of
translation. Form/Structure/Setting-a discussion of redaction,
genre, sources, and tradition as they concern the origin of the
pericope, its canonical form, and its relation to the biblical and
extra-biblical contexts in order to illuminate the structure and
character of the pericope. Rhetorical or compositional features
important to understanding the passage are also introduced here.
Comment-verse-by-verse interpretation of the text and dialogue with
other interpreters, engaging with current opinion and scholarly
research. Explanation-brings together all the results of the
discussion in previous sections to expose the meaning and intention
of the text at several levels: (1) within the context of the book
itself; (2) its meaning in the OT or NT; (3) its place in the
entire canon; (4) theological relevance to broader OT or NT issues.
General Bibliography-occurring at the end of each volume, this
extensive bibliographycontains all sources used anywhere in the
commentary.

By surpassing most traditional commentaries, Lane's work unveils
Hebrews as a sermon rendered by a concerned "preacher" to his Roman
church, which is under persecution and dangerously close to
rejecting the faith. As an exposition of encouragement and
exhortation, Hebrews addresses the central concerns of our
contemporary church as well: the felt absence of God, a climate of
uncertainty and insecurity, the tension between secular conformity
and spiritual maturity and the treat of societal perversion and
materialism to a Christian commitment. Christians are called upon
to express a faith that is rooted in the future and to continue
this life of pilgrimage with a radical new view of reality, which
is based on sure confidence in the intervention of God in daily
life. Tracing the writer's development thought by thought, rather
than verse by verse, careful attention is paid to the cultural and
historical background. This work is useful as a study guide for
groups and individuals, or for any reader who wishes a mature
understanding of the book of Hebrews.
