Primary immunodeficiency diseases, first recognized 60 years ago, are inherited disorders that affect human adaptive and innate immunity. In most cases, affected individuals experience recurrent infections, but they may also suffer from autoimmune diseases and malignancies. This third edition of Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases provides readers with the historic and scientific background, clinical presentations, immunologic characteristics, and the molecular/genetic underpinnings of this rapidly enlarging class of diseases. With up-to-date diagnostic tools and therapeutic options - from prophylactic anti-infective measures to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and gene therapy - this volume will remain an authoritative resource on this increasingly important area.

Three decades of dizzying change in China's economy and society have left a tangible record of successes and failures. Less readily accessible but of no less consequence is the story, as illuminated in this book, of what China's reform has done to its people as moral and spiritual beings. Jiwei Ci examines the moral crisis in post-Mao China as a mirror of deep contradictions in the new self as well as in society. He seeks to show that lack of freedom, understood as the moral and political conditions for subjectivity under modern conditions of life, lies at the root of these contradictions, just as enhanced freedom offers the only appropriate escape from them. Rather than a ready-made answer, however, freedom is treated throughout as a pressing question in China's search for a better moral and political culture.

Celebrated theologian, preacher and author C. I. Scofield explains descriptions of Christian qualities in the New Testament, and the Gospels of Christ in this excellent Bible study and devotional book. In this superbly detailed examination of the New Testament, Scofield demonstrates how dispensationalism can aid Christians in receiving the true meaning of the scriptures. Making careful distinctions between the gospels and the nature of Christian belief, Scofield demonstrates how God divided the various gospels over time, and explains how to distinguish between these divisions. Throughout this work we observe how the author supports his words with frequent quotations of the scripture. We learn how the believer must act when adhering to Christ's teachings, and of how the Christian may please God and receive his blessings. Holding to beliefs in God in spite of life's trials, adhering to the principles of moral virtue, and understanding the fundamental truths of the Bible are emphasized.
