Immunology is a nodal subject that links many areas of biology. It
permeates the biosciences, and also plays crucial roles in
diagnosis and therapy in areas of clinical medicine ranging from
the control of infectious and autoimmune diseases to tumour
therapy. Monoclonal antibodies and small molecule modulators of
immunity are major factors in the pharmaceutical industry and now
constitute a multi billion dollar business. Students in these
diverse areas are frequently daunted by the complexity of
immunology and the astonishing array of unusual mechanisms that go
to make it up. Starting from Dobzhansky's famous slogan, "Nothing
in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution", this book
will serve to illuminate how evolutionary forces shaped immunity
and thus provide an explanation for how many of its counter
intuitive oddities arose. By doing so it will provide a conceptual
framework on which students may organise the rapidly growing flood
of immunological knowledge.

Drawing on nearly thirty years of experience in critiquing sermon
delivery, Jacks here offers a practical, hands-on approach to
writing sermons that consider listeners first. Jacks gives samples
and examples of writing that effectively captures and holds an
audience's attention, and he offers practical tips and suggestions
intended to help each of us find a preaching style and voice of our
own. He also shows how to translate the jargon of theological
textbooks into everyday language, suggests methods for rewriting
sermons to avoid some of the pomposity of sermonic proclamation,
and demonstrates ways to retell biblical narratives in fresh and
imaginative ways. Just Say the Word! Writing for the Ear is a
valuable resource that will help pastors and lay leaders
communicate as effectively as possible the faith that is ours to
share.
This volume gives pastors and worship leaders practical lessons in
disciplined, interpretive speech that will enhance the living
quality of Scripture for listeners today. Jacks discusses the
practical techniques of effective oral interpretation --phrasing,
emphasis, imagery, and vocal gesture --and covers important matters
of voice and diction --pronunciation, articulation, and vocal
control. Other communication tips include ways to restructure
Scripture readings, a chart listing trouble areas in voice and
diction, and much more.
A BBC radio full-cast dramatisation of this much-loved classic
adventure about a dog named Buck. In Yukon, Canada during the 1890s
Klondike Gold Rush, strong sled dogs were in high demand. Buck is
stolen from his comfortable home in California and sold into
service as a sled dog in Alaska. He becomes progressively feral in
the harsh environment, where he is forced to fight to survive and
dominate other dogs. Sold to a group of inexperienced gold hunters,
he is eventually saved by John Thornton, with whom he forms a deep
bond. Exciting and action-packed, The Call of the Wild explores the
timeless relationship between man and dog, and the draw of
primitive instincts that pull Buck away from humanity towards the
wilderness. Starring Robert Jack, Finn Den Hertog, Robin Lane, Nick
Underwood and Melody Grove.
"Focus on Personal Finance" is a brief, 14-chapter book, covering
the critical topics in Personal Finance courses. This 4-color,
paperback text is designed and written to appeal to a range of
ages, life situations, and levels of financial literacy.
A unique aspect of this text is its active approach. This text
will not only get your students thinking about their current
situation and financial goals, but also to put these in writing to
use as a guide and revise over the course of their lives. The more
a student involves themselves in the assessments, exercises and
worksheets provided, the more they will discover about their
current habits and how to improve them for greater financial
freedom.
Students have many different financial goals, but none are more
important than having a basic understanding of financial issues and
peace of mind with regard to their decisions. The ultimate goal of
Focus on Personal Finance is to get students to this point as a
first step to achieving the many financial goals they have set for
themselves.
