In November 1989, six members of the Jesuit community of the
University of Central America in San Salvador, including the
rector, Ignacio Ellacuria, were massacred by government troops.
Twenty-five years later, this book provides the definitive account
of the path led to that fateful day, focusing on the Jesuits'
prophetic option for the poor, their role in the renewal of
Salvadoran church and society, and the critical steps that caused
them, as Archbishop Romero would put it, to "share the same fate as
the poor." Drawing on newly available archival materials and
extensive interviews, Robert Lassalle-Klein gives special attention
to the theological contributions of Ellacuria and Jon Sobrino, who
survived the massacre, and the emergence among the Jesuit community
of a spirituality that recognized the risen Christ in what
Ellacuria called "the crucified people of El Salvador." This
insight led, in turn, to the development of the most important
advance in the idea of a Christian university since the time of
Cardinal Newman. Blood and Ink tells a vital story of a religious
and university community's conversion and renewal that speaks to
the ongoing challenge of discipleship today.

Low-budget vampire horror in which two brothers become caught up in
a gruesome occult experiment dating back to the Third Reich. When
his brother Victor (Dominic Purcell) reappears after two years of
being mysteriously missing, paramedic Evan Marshall (Henry Cavill)
sets out on a revenge mission that uncovers a devilish experiment
set up by evil Nazi historian Richard Wirth (Michael Fassbender)
back in the 1930s.
This brief offers a comprehensive discussion of magnetic targeted
drug delivery of silica-coated nanodevices. Focusing on the latest
trend in pharmaceutical applications of these nanodevices, a
multidisciplinary overview is displayed, from synthesis and design
to pharmacokenetics, biodistribution and toxicology. Chapters
include design of silica-coated magnetic nanodevices; techniques
for drug loading with features applicable to biological systems;
synthesis, characterization and the assessment of biomedical issues
with both in vitro and in vivo experiments. Applications in the
treatment of different localized diseases are also addressed in
order to present the potential use of these nanosystems as global,
commercially available therapeutics.
In the field of business and management, the core concept
associated with migration sees "difference and distance" as
liabilities, whether they are national, cultural, geographic, or
semantic. While existing research is valuable, recently it has been
suggested that an emphasis on liabilities and adverse outcomes
associated with such differences may hinder our understanding of
the conditions that help to leverage the value of diversity in a
wide range of contexts. Global Migration, Entrepreneurship and
Society seeks to explore these seemingly interconnected processes,
offering a safe space to critically examine the specific political
contexts of excluded groups and develop a much-needed theoretical
and policy-related set of writings that can cast light on the
workings and complexities of processes of global migration,
entrepreneurship and societal integration.
One hundred years after the birth of Karl Rahner, the contributors
to this book ask whether and how RahnerOs theology can address new
religious and cultural realities in the twenty-first century,
particularly those realities found on what has come to be called
Othe Pacific Rim.O Stretching from California and Latin America,
and across the Pacific Ocean to Asia, this geographic region
manifests an incredible cultural and religious diversity, but also
many points of intersection and interpenetration, resulting in new
forms of religion and spirituality. The theological categories
generated by Rahner, such as the anonymous Christian and even the
notion of a world church, meet steep challenges when read in
contexts very different from that of Germany and the theological
currents of the OAtlantic.O At the same time, the encounter between
Rahner and the Pacific Rim results in fresh readings of Rahner not
previously imagined, not only in places like China and Mexico, but
even Los Angeles. Anchored by a seminal essay by Francis X.
Clooney, S.J. (Harvard), contributors, include Thomas Sheehan
(Stanford), Catherine Bell (Santa Clara), and George Griener, S.J.
(Berkeley). Each essay examines the possibilities and limitations
of RahnerOs theology in this newly configured Pacific world.
