Bharat Nalluri directs this British spy thriller, spin-off of the BBC television series starring Peter Firth. During a seemingly routine handover, terrorist suspect Adem Qasim (Elyes Gabel) escapes from MI5 custody and goes on the run. As disgraced former head of MI5 Harry Pearce (Firth) is also missing, it is left to his protégé Will Holloway (Kit Harington) to find Harry and stop the alleged impending terrorist attack on the capital city. The cast also includes Jennifer Ehle, Lara Pulver and David Harewood.

An Introduction to the Mathematics of Finance: A Deterministic Approach, Second edition, offers a highly illustrated introduction to mathematical finance, with a special emphasis on interest rates. This revision of the McCutcheon-Scott classic follows the core subjects covered by the first professional exam required of UK actuaries, the CT1 exam. It realigns the table of contents with the CT1 exam and includes sample questions from past exams of both The Actuarial Profession and the CFA Institute. With a wealth of solved problems and interesting applications, An Introduction to the Mathematics of Finance stands alone in its ability to address the needs of its primary target audience, the actuarial student.

This self-contained module for independent study covers the subjects most often needed by non-mathematics graduates, such as fundamental calculus, linear algebra, probability, and basic numerical methods. The easily-understandable text of Introduction to Actuarial and Mathematical Methods features examples, motivations, and lots of practice from a large number of end-of-chapter questions. For readers with diverse backgrounds entering programs of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, the Society of Actuaries, and the CFA Institute, Introduction to Actuarial and Mathematical Methods can provide a consistency of mathematical knowledge from the outset.

When Life Is in Jeopardy: How Doctors Detect and Treat the Most Common Life-Threatening Conditions, by physician and medical researcher Stephen Garrett Marcus, is a comprehensive, yet easy-to-read book about the life-threatening conditions and complications that are the most common causes of serious illness, injury and death in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

When Life Is in Jeopardy tells the entire story of diseases, injuries and their complications, including initial symptoms, making the diagnosis, initial treatments, treatment to prevent or treat relapses, benefits and risks of treatments, the outlook for survival and recovery, experimental treatment, and, if necessary, treatment to relieve suffering if a cure or remission becomes unlikely or impossible.

The book is divided into four sections: "Life-Threatening Diseases" explores the most common life-threatening diseases including the most common cancers, stroke, heart diseases, cirrhosis, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
"Life-Threatening Injuries" explains how emergency physicians and surgeons evaluate and treat chest, abdominal and head trauma.
"Life-Threatening Complications" discusses the large number of dangerous complications that can occur as a direct result of a serious disease or injury or as a side effect of medical or surgical treatments.
"Clinical Trials" gives information about how new treatments are tested by responsible medical researchers and how a person can identify and enroll in a clinical trial of an experimental treatment.

The focus of this book is on the medical and surgical treatments of illnesses and injuries and their complications. Although it would be preferable, to prevent a disease or injury rather than treat it, preventive measures are usually beside the point once the disease or injury has struck. Prevention discussed in this book emphasizes prevention of disease progression or recurrence, and prevention of complications of a disease or its treatment.

Common questions a person will have when facing a life-threatening illness are "how can I regain or keep my health," "how can I survive and recover from setbacks and complications," and, for some diseases, "how long have I got to live." This book seeks to point out that a disease or complication does not come with fixed odds for partial or full recovery or with a defined period for that disease to reach a cure, stay in remission, or prove fatal. Each person is an individual and, for some reasons unknown, and for many reasons related to getting the very best medical care available, some people can be cured of their disease or survive and enjoy life's normal activities for an extended period, while other people succumb to their disease quickly. Every person is an individual and not a statistic. The fight for life is always an option.

This empowering work, When Life Is in Jeopardy, offers information, insight, candor, and-ultimately-hope.

This book provides the reader with one of the most critical tools the fight for life requires: information.
