Intellectual property has a vast, perplexing and diverse
vocabulary, and this enriching Dictionary provides a starting point
for understanding new concepts and crafting precise definitions to
meet the needs of a particular case. Not only are new words and
phrases being coined as technology changes and the law follows, but
also the international scope of intellectual property means that IP
lawyers will encounter foreign words and phrases. With over 1000
expressions defined clearly and entertainingly, this book should be
the first reference point to understanding intellectual property
terminology. It will be particularly helpful to practitioners when
they encounter expressions they have not seen before which they
need to understand the true meaning and definition of. Students
finding unfamiliar terminology and concepts will also appreciate
the instant explanation available from this essential resource.
The Christian faith is something people practice. The Church prays,
listens to the Scriptures, celebrates the sacraments, cares for the
suffering, and liberates the oppressed. This is where the task of
theology begins. In "Love Makes No Sense", each chapter engages
central issues of theology but remains focused on the Christian
life. Although it is a book about doctrine-Christian teaching-it
insists that one cannot present a doctrine of the Trinity, or
Incarnation, or anything else in the abstract. Teaching divorced
from everyday life is not Christian teaching. This does not mean
this book is primarily 'practical' as opposed to 'theological'. It
is an invitation to Christian theology that refuses to separate the
two. The aim of this book is not to satisfy the intellect, but to
train its readers through approachable theological teaching to live
the love that Christian theology proclaims. Suitable for people
looking to explore Christian theology more deeply, be they
life-long Christians who want a deeper understanding of their
faith, new Christians, or those who are interested in the Christian
faith and looking to find out more.
We can't truly participate in prayer, or worship, or the
sacraments, or the reading of Scripture, and so on, in a way that
is divorced from the doctrine of the Trinity, or the Incarnation,
or the Resurrection. Following on from its predecessor, Love Makes
No Sense each chapter in this book deals with central issues of
Christian practice, and presents an introduction to Christian
doctrine without losing focus of the lived Christian life. The book
sets forth central aspects of Christian living and practice that
are the natural expression of those doctrines when they are
understood properly as a lived phenomenon.

John Barton and Peter Groves present a range of chapters by leading
scholarly voices from the worlds of biblical studies and the
Church, looking at the study of the New Testament within and around
the Church and the impact it has had and can have on Christian
theology. The essays in the volume adopt a style of critical
engagement with biblical texts, through the prism of a modern and
living Church. The focus of the volume is thus not only upon the
New Testament itself, but upon how reading the New Testament is
important for dialogue within the Church and within Christian
denominations. Among the highly distinguished contributors are John
Barton, Eric Eve, Mark Goodacre, Christopher Rowland, and Rowan
Williams.

This collection features five peer-reviewed reviews on managing
bacterial diseases of poultry. The first chapter provides a brief
overview of Campylobacter in poultry production and the routes of
transmission from bird to human. It considers current and future
challenges in controlling Campylobacter, as well as the control
measures implemented to reduce the occurrence of infection in
poultry flocks. The second chapter discusses economically-important
enteric diseases and disorders of poultry. The chapter highlights
the aetiology of these diseases and explores more sustainable
alternatives to promote gastrointestinal health, such as
plant-derived extracts, organic acids, prebiotics and probiotics.
The third chapter provides an overview of best practices to manage
disease outbreaks in poultry. It reviews current disease
preventative measures, health monitoring procedures, as well as
disease investigation techniques. The fourth chapter reviews the
emergence and re-emergence of several infectious pathogens in
poultry production and the consequent need to improve current
biosecurity measures in poultry flocks to ensure optimal animal
health and welfare. The final chapter considers the main
alternatives to antibiotics in preventing zoonoses and other major
pathogens in poultry. The chapter reviews the sector's use of
prebiotics and related compounds, as well as the beneficial effects
of their use.
To meet growing demand, the FAO has estimated that world poultry
production needs to grow by 2-3% per year to 2030. Much of the
increase in output already achieved has been as a result of
improvements in commercial breeds combined with rearing in more
intensive production systems. However, more intensive systems have
increased the risk of transmission of animal diseases and zoonoses.
Consumer expectations of sensory and nutritional quality have also
never been higher. At the same time consumers are more concerned
about the environmental impact of poultry production as well as
animal welfare. Drawing on an international range of expertise,
this book reviews research on poultry health and welfare. Part 1
begins by reviewing the range of diseases and other health issues
affecting poultry. It then goes on to discuss ways of preventing
and managing disease such as breeding, and means of attenuating the
immune system. The second part of the book discusses welfare issues
such as management of breeding flocks, housing, transport and
humane slaughter techniques. Achieving sustainable production of
poultry meat Volume 3: Health and welfare will be a standard
reference for poultry and food scientists in universities,
government and other research centres and companies involved in
poultry production. It is accompanied by two further volumes which
review safety, quality and sustainability as well as poultry
breeding and nutrition.
Grace - the free, unconditional and limitless love of God - is one
of the epic words of the Christian faith and a key part of what is
most distinctive about it. It lies at the heart of what is
proclaimed in the Gospel, but is not well understood, even by
Christians. For centuries, Christians have laboured under two
opposing misunderstandings: the Catholic view: We must strive to be
good in order to deserve God's love, or the Protestant view:
Humankind is so sinful, we can do no good at all. To set a great
imbalance right, this volume explores what grace is; how it flows
from an understanding of the Trinity; how it becomes visible in the
life of Christ; grace in creation, human freedom and the Church;
ways of thinking about grace and living the life of grace.
Written by top food critics Peter and Colleen Grove as a reference
book for those in the catering industry, it is also a book that is
a must for anyone interested in food. The reader is taken on a
journey back in time to the very start of our love of herbs and
spices and offers fascinating insights into how our food - and
taste buds - have changed over the years. A richly illustrated
chapter called, "Exotic Foods, Herbs and Spices A - Z" offers
interesting snippets about the history as well as the culinary
traditions and medicinal effects of food, herbs and spices around
the world. You can even try to make Chicken Tikka Masala using the
recipe from the winner of the 2002 CTM Award in the United Kingdom.
As organisers of National Curry Week it is perhaps inevitable that
curry features quite heavily but if chapter titles like, 'History
of the Ethnic Restaurant in Britain', 'Dean Mahomed - First Man of
Curry', 'Origins of Curry - Is it really English?', 'On the Trail
of the Tandoor', and 'The 'Currification' of the World' make your
mouth water then this is certainly the book for you. .
This work, perhaps for the first time, provides a description of
the great variety of proposals at EEC level for the reform and
harmonisation of intellectual property law. It addresses patents,
copyright and neighbouring rights, trade marks, biotechnology,
semiconductor chips, topography right, industrial designs and plant
breeders' rights. Save as required for the purpose of shedding
light on the EEC proposals, it does not attempt to examine member
states' national laws. In the case of industrial designs, where no
harmonisation has yet been proposed, a very brief survey of
national jurisdictions is presented. There is a useful appendix of
documents, a bibliography and index. This practical handbook will
prove invaluable to practitioners, both in the IP field and
non-specialists, seeking up-to-date information on European
developments, including solicitors, barristers, patent agents and
trade mark agents in private practice, commerce and industry
throughout the EEC and in Member States' major trading partners.
