The overall scope of this new series will be to evolve an
understanding of the genetic basis of (1) how early mesoderm
commits to cells of a heart lineage that progressively and
irreversibly assemble into a segmented, primary heart tube that can
be remodeled into a four-chambered organ, and (2) how blood vessels
are derived and assembled both in the heart and in the body. Our
central aim is to establish a four-dimensional, spatiotemporal
foundation for the heart and blood vessels that can be genetically
dissected for function and mechanism. Since Robert DeHaan's seminal
chapter "Morphogenesis of the Vertebrate Heart" published in
Organogenesis (Holt Rinehart & Winston, NY) in 1965, there have
been surprisingly few books devoted to the subject of
cardiovascular morpho genesis, despite the enormous growth of
interest that occurred nationally and inter nationally. Most
writings on the subject have been scholarly compilations of the
proceedings of major national or international symposia or multi
authored volumes, without a specific theme. What is missing are the
unifying concepts that can often make sense out of a burgeoning
database of facts. The Editorial Board of this new series believes
the time has come for a book series dedicated to cardiovascular mor
not only as an important archival and didactic reference phogenesis
that will serve source for those who have recently come into the
field but also as a guide to the evo lution of a field that is
clearly coming of age.
Voices of Enlightenment have long counseled modern men and women to
flee authority, including authority claimed by the church. Aspiring
to substitute rock-ribbed law for human, or even divine, authority,
today's legal minds pursue a "rule of law, not of men." Any
possibility of authority is almost everywhere assimilated to the
threat of authoritarian abuse. Civilizing Authority counters the
flight from authority with the claim that it is precisely authority
itself that offers a barrier against authoritarianism. The book's
authors share the insight that humans cannot increase, or even long
survive, without authority, and they observe, from along a broad
spectrum of perspectives, that all phases of our human living
depend on authority. Families, churches, clubs, monasteries,
unions, cities, and states - human living would be unrecognizable
without them, and they all depend upon authority and authorities.
Still, what is "the authority experience?" What are we obeying when
when we give willing assent to authority? The ten authors of
Civilizing Authority, Chrisitians of diverse belief and
professional discipline, unite here to explore the ways in which
authority, though elusive, remains possible - indeed, exigent - in
a post-Christian world. Refusing to conflate genuine authority with
positions of power or prestige, they probe the deep, and perhaps
transendental, sources of authority. Friendship, solidarity,
liberty, and perhaps even belief - these, the authors suggest, may
be the true springs of the authority that is the principle of
increase in human living.
When ten-year-old Derek and eight-year-old Sam move with their
family to Virginia, they have no idea what adventures the summer
will bring. As the brothers explore their creaky old house and the
deep surrounding woods, they uncover a sixty-year-old mystery of a
valuable coin collection stolen from the local museum. Join the
boys as they spend their summer running from danger and searching
the woods, secret caves, rushing waters, and hidden passageways for
treasure and the rare 1877 Indian Head cent coin
Recommended for ages 7-12.
Young brothers Sam and Derek have a knack for uncovering mystery
and adventure. When they visit Richmond's St. John's Church for a
reenactment of Patrick Henry's famous liberty speech, they stumble
upon a hidden piece of history. As the boys and their friends dig
deeper, they find clues from America's founding fathers like George
Wythe and Thomas Jefferson and a secret plot to steal a treasure
from our nation's past. Join in the mystery as the search races
from the from the cemeteries of Richmond to the streets of Colonial
Williamsburg.
