As a WWE wrestler with millions of fans, Shawn Michaels had
adulation and all the attention he could ask for, but he found
himself longing for something more. When he became a committed
Christian at the height of his career, Shawn learned what it's like
to be a man of faith in a secular arena. Wrestling for My Life
documents Shawn's journey to finding a new way of life--one that's
marked by faith, family, and forgiveness. As you watch Shawn's
testimony unfold, you'll learn about: The power of self-discipline
The importance of finding a supportive mentor who challenges you to
be the best version of yourself The freedom that's found in true
forgiveness Praise for Wrestling for My Life: "Shawn's greatest
challenge came from deep within himself, and it's been
awe-inspiring to watch this man pull himself from the depths of his
own personal hell by immersing himself in his faith in God. I
couldn't be more amazed at the man, husband, father, and friend he
has become." -The Undertaker "I am certain that you will enjoy
getting to know Shawn Michaels from the pages within as much as I
have in his everyday life. If you read one book this year, make it
this one" -Pastor Matthew Hagee "Shawn's story is an important
reminder of life's priorities and how we choose to use our given
gifts. While I work with Shawn outside of the wrestling world, I
can still strongly attest to his perseverance, passion, and
humility. These pages offer an inside look into how he found
strength for better change." -Jeff Wayne, Executive Vice President

Groundbreaking collection of articles - drawing upon recent
advances in both discovery techniques and classification systems -
centred upon the study of early Anglo-Saxon coinage and its
iconography. Recent years have seen increasing interest being taken
by both scholars and enthusiasts in the remarkable iconography of
early Anglo-Saxon coinage. During this period there was a
remarkable diversity of intentionally ambiguous imagery conflating
the various traditions then extant in England, and indeed the sheer
quantity of types produced in post-Roman Britain prior to the
establishment of a clear political hierarchy has often been
regarded as a daunting hurdle for scholarly research. Although this
wealth of material has long been available, recent advances in both
discovery techniques and classification systems have seen a renewal
of interest in these largely neglected artefacts.This volume draws
upon these advances to establish a new benchmark for the study of
coin typologies. Going beyond the traditional studies of moneyers,
mint marks and monarchs, these essays draw upon the imagery present
upon the coins themselves to offer new insights into Anglo-Saxon
art and society.

Historians, numismatists and philologists consider fundamental
aspects of 9c political and economic history. The ninth century was
a period of upheaval in England, as the kingdoms of Mercia and
Wessex vied for supremacy, and East Anglia and Kent sought to
regain their independence, with the arrival of the Vikings
introducing a further element of unrest. This interdisciplinary
collection of papers by historians, numismatists and philologists
considers fundamental aspects of the period's political and
economic history. Alliances and treaties are a central theme,
political and monetary. A radical reassesment of events in London
in the later ninth century is presented, prompted by a detailed
examination of the numismatic evidence marshalled here along with
the written sources; it is argued that the Vikings were not in
control of the city prior to Alfred's "reoccupation" in AD 886. The
volume includes an illustrated corpus of the coinage of Berhtwulf
and another for the middle years of Alfred's reign; moneyers are
identified as witnesses to charters, and the forms of their names
are analysed according to the Old English dialects they represent.
A listing of some 500 single coin-finds forms the basis for a
discussion of the nature and extent ofmonetary use in ninth-century
England. The late MARK BLACKBURN was Keeper of Coins and Medals at
the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge; DAVID DUMVILLE is Emeritus
Professor at the University of Aberdeen. Contributors: SIMON

reader through the logical process of deduction to narrow the
diagnosis as well as the laboratory testing, physical examination
findings, and elements of the patient's history and exposures
utilized to make a diagnosis. Chapters conclude with a focused
review on a specific topic related to diagnosis, treatment, or
prognosis that the case illustrates, including references for
further reading on the topics from the literature. The Infectious
Disease Diagnosis is an outstanding resource for infectious disease
specialists, internal medicine physicians, emergency room staff,

All 23 episodes from Season 2 of the series about Superman's early
life. In 'Vortex', Clark (Tom Welling) rescues Lana (Kristin Kreuk)
from the eye of a tornado, and then discovers that the storm has
powered up his spaceship and deposited it in an exposed position in
a cornfield. In 'Heat', Clark goes into hiding after discovering
his new power of heat vision, which can have some rather startling
effects. 'Duplicity' sees Pete (Sam Jones) happening upon Clark's
spaceship in the cornfield, which forces Clark to reveal his secret
to him. In 'Red', Clark is given his high school ring which is
supposedly set with ruby, but is actually red meteor rock. The rock
has an instant and dramatic effect on him, changing him into a
wayward rebel who overspends on the family credit card and picks
fights. In 'Nocturne', Lana finds a love poem left for her at her
parents' grave by Byron Moore (Sean Faris), an elusive boy with a
dark and dangerous secret. 'Lineage' sees a mysterious woman,
Rachel Dunlevy (Blair Brown) turning up in Smallville, claiming to
be Clark's biological mother. This prompts the Kents to finally
reveal to Clark the truth about what happened when they discovered
him as a toddler in the cornfield. In 'Ryan', Clark tests his
powers to the limit to save Ryan (Ryan James), a telepathic boy who
is being used as a test subject at the Summerholt Research Facility
by the evil Dr Garner (Martin Cummins). In 'Dichotic', a gifted
student, Ian (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) has cloned himself and is
dating both Lana and Chloe (Allison Mack) at the same time. Clark
tries to warn the girls, but they attribute his interference to
jealousy. In 'Skinwalkers', Clark falls into a cave filled with
Native American inscriptions that hold the key to his true
identity. 'Visage' sees the return of Whitney Fordman (Eric
Johnson), which disrupts the relationship betwen Clark and Lana -
until his odd behaviour prompts Clark to make a shocking discovery
about his true identity. In 'Suspect', Jonathan finds himself
framed for murder after being found in possession of a murder
weapon. But Clark and Pete mount their own investigation and
discover a tangle of motives and possible suspects. 'Insurgence'
sees Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) discovering that Lionel has secretly
installed an electronic surveillance system in his mansion. In
retaliation, Lex hires crooks to install cameras in Lionel's
Metropolis office... In 'Rush', a parasitic worm infects Pete and
Chloe, turning them into wild adrenaline junkies. In 'Prodigal',
Lex tracks down his long-lost brother Lucas (Paul Wasilewski), and
brings him home to Smallville in the hope that they can buy Lionel
out and unite against him. 'Fever' sees Martha (Annette O'Toole)
fall into a coma after breathing in meteor dust. It is then
revealed that she is pregnant with Clark's brother or sister.
'Rosetta' features a guest appearance from the original Superman
movie actor, Christopher Reeve, who plays Dr Virgil Swann, a
brilliant scientist who helps Clark to receive messages from his
home planet using the Native American symbols that Clark discovered
when he fell into the cave. In 'Visitor', a new student, Cyrus
Krupp (Jeremy Lelliot) reveals to Clark that he is an alien.
'Precipice' sees Clark jumping to Lana's defence when she is almost
assaulted by a college student. He injures the student, causing him
to question the virtue of his powers, and soon finds himself facing
a lawsuit that could cost the Kents their farm. In 'Witness', Clark
tries to intervene after inadvertently witnessing the theft of a
Luthercorp truck, but is dismayed to discover that the thieves are
as strong as he is. In 'Accelerate', Lana asks for Clark's advice
after being visited by the ghost of her childhood friend, Emily
(Jodelle Micah Ferlar). But Clark realises that the little girl is
in fact a kryptonite-enhanced clone who is out to get revenge on
Lana, and wants her to drown just as she, Emily, did several years
before. In 'Calling', Dr Frederick Walden (Rob LaBelle) wakes from
his coma to find himself in possession of incredible powers, and
sets off on a dangerous mission to kill Clark. In 'Exodus', Clark
makes an amazing discovery about his origins when the spaceship
announces that it is programmed with memories of his Kryptonian
father, Jor-El (Terence Stamp). It asks him to come at sunset to
return to his family and friends and fulfil his destiny. But can
Clark leave his life in Smallville behind? 'Redux' sees Clark
coming to the rescue when a mutant, Chrissy (Maggie Lawson), starts
killing young men by sucking their youth out of them to keep
herself young, leaving them aged and lifeless.
Rocky outcrops are landscape features with disproportionately high
biodiversity values relative to their size. They support
specialised plants and animals, and a wide variety of endemic
species. To Indigenous Australians, they are sacred places and
provide valuable resources. Despite their ecological and cultural
importance, many rocky outcrops and associated biota are threatened
by agricultural and recreational activities, forestry and mining
operations, invasive weeds, altered fire regimes and climate
change. Rocky Outcrops in Australia: Ecology, Conservation and
Management contains chapters on why this habitat is important, the
animals that live and depend on these formations, key threatening
processes and how rocky outcrops can be managed to improve
biodiversity conservation in agricultural landscapes, state forests
and protected areas. This book will be an important reference for
landholders, Landcare groups, naturalists interested in Australian
wildlife and natural resource managers.
