Delving into the recent discovery of the brain's immune system, Dr
Monty Lyman reveals the extraordinary implications for our physical
and mental health. Since the birth of modern medicine, we have
fundamentally misunderstood our immune system. Although the brain
and the body have always been treated as separate entities - in
separate hospitals - the science now shows that they are intimately
linked. Startlingly, our body's immune system can access our brain
and directly alter our mental health, changing our mood and
behaviour. This has opened up a new frontier in human health. Drugs
designed to treat arthritis have been found to treat certain kinds
of depression. Incredibly, brushing your teeth properly can reduce
brain inflammation, and thereby reduce the risk of dementia. And we
are now beginning to understand how infections in childhood can
lead to neurological and psychiatric disorders such as tics and
OCD. In The Immune Mind, Dr Monty Lyman explores the fascinating
connection between the mind and the immune system, as well as the
body's microbiome. A researcher in the cutting-edge field of
immunopsychiatry, Lyman argues we need to change the way we treat
disease and the way we see ourselves. For the first time, we have a
new approach to medicine that treats the whole human being.

Secret Service agent James Bond (Sean Connery) is sent to Jamaica to investigate the murder of one of his colleagues. It transpires that the island is being used as a base for the terrorist organisation SPECTRE, who, under the guidance of the despotic Dr No (Joseph Wiseman), have developed technology to divert rockets launched from Cape Canaveral. The first big-screen outing for 007 features original Bond Girl Ursula Andress emerging from the ocean in memorably revealing swimwear.
This incisive book examines the interaction between international
climate law and international trade law for the promotion of
renewable energy. Alessandro Monti utilizes the emerging principle
of mutual supportiveness to inform and guide his analysis of the
specific interactions between climate and trade law in the
renewable energy sector. The book makes a meaningful contribution
to the literature within public international law, engaging with
scholarly discourse on the fragmentation of international law and
providing an in-depth analysis of the theoretical context against
which the principle of mutual supportiveness is emerging. Chapters
examine the WTO jurisprudence on renewable energy subsidies,
propose specific solutions to improve the alignment between climate
and trade law, and build a case for the development of
climate-friendly trade policies. Taking account of the multifaceted
interactions between international climate and trade law, Monti
highlights the implications of trade disputes on renewable energy
and the promotion of climate objectives. Addressing the specialized
legal regimes of both climate and trade law, Promoting Renewable
Energy will prove a valuable resource to students and scholars of
environmental, trade, and energy law. International policy
officers, legal practitioners and NGOs working on climate, trade
and energy policies will also benefit from its examination of
relevant legal frameworks.
This insightful book discusses the interaction of sector-specific
regulation and competition policy. In particular, it identifies
emerging trends and reflects on the nature of network regulation in
the energy and telecom industries. Expert contributors examine the
recent European Electronic Communications Code (EECC), as well the
relevant regulatory framework in the electricity and pharmaceutical
sectors. Chapters consider key topics, such as the recent antitrust
investigations concerning the excessive price of off-patent drugs
and the impact of digitalization on the future of network
industries. The book also assesses several examples of the complex
relationship between sector-specific regulation and competition
policy; a relationship constantly swinging between complementarity
and conflict. Providing a comparative analysis of EU competition
policy at both the EU and national levels, this timely book will be
a valuable resource for scholars and students of EU competition
policy. It will also be beneficial for practitioners, specialising
in the regulation of the telecom, energy and pharmaceutical
industries.

Vicente Ferraz directs this war drama based on real events of World
War II. Set during the winter of 1944, a Brazilian Expeditionary
Force on a minesweeping patrol in Italy find themselves lost in a
land far from their base in the mountains. As they embark on an
horrific journey back to camp they come across two army deserters;
one Italian and one German. Forming an unlikely group of renegades
the men set about crossing the infamous Road 47 to achieve safe
passage to their futures.

`I was on a train, and a German soldier began shouting at me and poking me in the ribs with his machine gun. I just thought that was it, the game was up . . .' Downed airman Bob Frost faced danger at every turn as he was smuggled out of France and over the Pyrenees. Prisoner of war Len Harley went on the run in Italy, surviving months in hiding and then a hazardous climb over the Abruzzo mountains with German troops hot on his heels. These are just some of the stories told in heart-stopping detail as Monty Halls takes us along the freedom trails out of occupied Europe, from the immense French escape lines to lesser-known routes in Italy and Slovenia. Escaping Hitler features spies and traitors, extraordinary heroism from those who ran the escape routes and offered shelter to escapees, and great feats of endurance. The SAS in Operation Galia fought for forty days behind enemy lines in Italy and then, exhausted and pursued by the enemy, exfiltrated across the Apennine mountains. And in Slovenia Australian POW Ralph Churches and British Les Laws orchestrated the largest successful Allied escape of the entire war. Mixing new research, interviews with survivors and his own experience of walking the trails, Monty brings the past to life in this dramatic and gripping slice of military history.
This book challenges the perception of chemistry as too difficult
to bother with and too clinical to be any fun. Cathy Cobb and Monty
L. Fetterolf, both professional chemists and experienced educators,
introduce readers to the magic, elegance, and, yes, joy of
chemistry. From the fascination of fall foliage and fireworks, to
the functioning of smoke detectors and computers, to the
fundamentals of digestion (as when good pizza goes bad ), the
authors illustrate the concepts of chemistry in terms of everyday
experience, using familiar materials.
The authors begin with a bang--a colorful bottle rocket assembled
from common objects you find in the garage--and then present the
principles of chemistry using household chemicals and friendly,
nontechnical language. They guide the reader through the basics of
atomic structure, the nature of molecular bonds, and the vibrant
universe of chemical reactions. Using analogy and example to
illuminate essential concepts such as thermodynamics,
photochemistry, electrochemistry, and chemical equilibrium, they
explain the whys and wherefores of chemical reactions. Hands-on
demonstrations, selected for their ease of execution and relevance,
illustrate basic principles, and lively commentaries emphasize the
fun and fascination of learning about chemistry.
This delightful and richly informative book amply proves that
chemistry can appeal to our intuition, logic, and--if we're willing
to get down and dirty--our sense of enjoyment too.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This insightful book assesses emerging trends in the role of
economic analysis in EU competition policy, exploring how it has
substantially increased in terms of both theories and methods.
Expert contributors examine the jurisprudence of the EU Court of
Justice, which has become more supportive of effect-based analysis
in EU competition policy. Chapters consider key topics including
the role of economic analysis in relation to defining the relevant
market, the challenges of competition policy enforcement in the
telecom and digital markets, and economic methods to estimate
damages in cases of private enforcement of EU competition law. The
book also discusses the challenges faced by judges in reviewing the
economic evidence relied on by competition agencies in their
decisions and how these may be overcome. Providing a comparative
analysis of EU competition policy at both the EU and national
levels, this book will be a valuable resource for scholars and
students of EU competition policy. It will also be beneficial for
practitioners specialising in competition law and economics.
Granting rebates to a customer or refusing to supply a competitor
are examples of ordinary commercial practices, which become
'abusive' under Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the
EU (TFEU) when carried out by 'dominant' firms. This topical book
provides an up-to-date account of the emerging trends in the
enforcement and interpretation of this provision at both the EU and
national level. Employing a range of case studies, this
illuminating book adds a cross-country perspective to the ongoing
debate surrounding the scope of application of Article 102 of the
TFEU; a debate largely caused by its ambiguous wording. Besides
analyzing the case law of the EU Courts and EU Commission that
determine what conduct falls in the 'abuse' box, a number of
chapters examine the active contribution of national courts and
competition authorities in the ongoing process of shaping the
meaning of this legal provision. Astute and discerning, this book
will appeal to academics and researchers in the areas of EU
competition law and policy. Its practical examples will also prove
beneficial to practitioners and national competition authorities.

This new edition sets out an account of EU law that includes not
only that law's established features, but captures its development
in recent years and the challenges facing the European Union. With
dedicated new chapters on climate change, data protection, free
movement of capital, and the EU's relations with other European
States, topics such as the Union's response to covid-19 and the
Ukraine crisis are addressed in detail. As with previous editions,
the new edition integrates case law, legislation, academic
materials and wider policy contributions in a way that broadens
students' understanding of the law and prompts greater critical
reflection on the limits, challenges, and possibilities of EU law.
It seeks to set out EU law not so much as a series of laws to be
learned but as something that stimulates heavy debate about some of
the most contentious and significant issues of our time.
