The 19th ESACT meeting was to highlight the novel capabilities of
the industry to move the products towards the clinic and was
attended by a wide range of workers in the industry and for many it
was their first ESACT meeting. The meeting was started with a
session on Transcription to Secretion with a notable set of
presentations on the emerging issues. The other sessions that
followed Therapeutic Cell Engineering, Gene Medicine, Cells to
Tissue, Protein products and Process Technology guided the
delegates through the advances made for the progression of the
biotechnology towards the industrial application of the products
from cells. The meeting was supported by some exceptional invited
speakers from around the world whose contributions complemented the
emerging technologies and the changes being made at the industrial
end of the ESACT spectrum.
The fifth edition of "Vascular Surgery" has been thoroughly
revised, enlarged and updated. Written by an international panel of
experts, this atlas presents indications for each procedure,
detailed technical analysis for the operation, and a summary of its
post-operative complications. The authors have made great efforts
to highlight potential pitfalls and danger areas in each operation
and give advice on avoidance of complications.
An amazingly succinct and accessible answer to the question 'What
is enlightenment?' - from one of America's most prominent teachers
of Insight Meditation. One of today's most highly regarded Insight
Meditation teachers describes the process of enlightenment in a way
anyone can understand - demonstrating in clear language why we
operate with the illusion of separation, how we can move out of it
to the realization of emptiness and no-self, and how we can live
from that state of awakening.
"Anatta" is the Buddhist teaching on the nonexistence of a
permanent, independent self. It's a notoriously puzzling and
elusive concept, usually leading to such questions as, "If I don't
have a self, who's reading this sentence?" It's not that there's no
self there, says Rodney Smith. It's just that the self that is
reading this sentence is a configuration of elements that at one
time did not exist and which at some point in the future will
disperse. Even in its present existence, it's more a temporary
arrangement of components rather than something solid. "Anatta "is
a truth the Buddha considered to be absolutely essential to his
teaching. Smith shows that understanding this truth can change the
way you relate to the world, and that the perspective of
selflessness is critically important for anyone involved in
spiritual practice. Seeing it can be the key to getting past the
idea that spirituality has something to do with self-improvement,
and to accessing the joy of deep insight into reality.
Keywords in Australian Politics is much more than a dictionary. It
outlines the main meanings of over one hundred words essential to
understanding contemporary Australian politics. Political language
is often used without explanation in the media, public debate,
textbooks and lectures. Here at last is a book that provides
Australians with the necessary information to use these terms with
confidence in public discussion and debate, from the dinner party
to the end-of-semester essay. This book defines each keyword,
highlights links between different keywords, outlines the main
debates concerning each keyword and indicates how they came to be
part of Australian political language. Although the book is
arranged alphabetically, systematic cross-referencing allows
readers to follow their own trails of enquiry. This book is
essential reading for everyone who wants to understand Australian
political culture and ideas.
Contemporary Politics in Australia provides a lively and
wide-ranging introduction to the study of Australian politics.
Written by a diverse range of experts, the book offers a
comprehensive overview of current theories, debates and research in
Australian political science and looks forward to new developments.
It encompasses not only formal and institutionally based politics,
but also the informal politics of everyday life, including the
politics of Australian culture and media. The book is divided into
six key sections that cover: * political theory * politics in
everyday Australian life * elections * participation and
representation * the Australian state * contemporary political and
public policy issues Contemporary Politics in Australia challenges
the assumption that the study of Australian politics can be dry,
descriptive or uncontroversial. Rather, it encourages an
understanding of politics in Australia as contested ground.
Featuring a glossary of key terms and a companion website, it is
essential reading for students.
