The Dunningans have been through a lot as a family. Mama Dunningan has two children, a son and a daughter, but she gives the daughter away. Lies and Deceit will reveal why she did what it. Meanwhile, things grow farther apart between Mama and Daddy Dunningan. They hope things can be put back to normal, but what is normal for the Dunningans? The past always keeps popping up like flies at a picnic. Now Malise, the daughter that was given away, is going through her own personal dilemma. She finds out something about her current boyfriend that she don’t know how to deal with. She loves him so much and is willing to look the other way. Then a blast from the past comes up. Cilas is trying to contact Malise and tell her something that she desperately needs to hear, but Malise doesn’t want to hear it because of the way he treated her. Malise then receives a phone call from Cilas’s uncle who says that Cilas has been in a serious accident and Cilas wants to see her. Malise is torn about what she should do but doesn’t want to make any waves with her current boyfriend. Douglas has ticked off the wrong woman, and there is hell to pay. Now that the chain has been broken in the Dunningan family, no one saw this coming. Can they all put it back together or has the time come for everyone to do what is best for them and move on? Sometimes things happen for one reason or another. All we or anyone can do is deal with the hand that has been dealt and pray that all goes well.

In this book A.D. Lee charts the rise to dominance of Christianity in the Roman empire. Using translated texts he explains the fortunes of both Pagans and Christians from the upheavals of the 3rd Century to the increasingly tumultuous times of the 5th and 6th centuries. The book also examines important themes in Late Antiquity such as the growth of monasticism, the emerging power of bishops and the development of pilgrimage, and looks at the fate of other significant religious groups including the Jews, Zoroastrians and Manichaeans.
What are the different muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes and how are they distributed in the airways and molecular signalling mechanisms? What is their function in neurogenic and non-neurogenic control of the airways and in inflammatory mechanisms? How is their gene expression regulated? The great importance of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors for the pathophysiology and treatment of chronic inflammatory obstructive airways diseases calls for a comprehensive and integrated overview of the current knowledge to address such questions, to discuss the role of these receptor subtypes in diseases such as asthma and COPD, and to present novel perspectives on antimuscarinic drug development. The present book is the worthy result of this need. It points out innovative insights into the hitherto poorly understood role of postjunctional muscarinic M2 receptors in airway smooth muscle contraction and sheds some light on the novel concepts of antimuscarinic drug development, with special reference to the l
Heritage languages, such as the Turkish varieties spoken in Berlin or the Spanish used in Los Angeles, are non-dominant languages, often with little prestige. Their speakers also speak the dominant language of the country they live in. Often heritage languages undergo changes due to their special status. They have received a lot of scholarly attention and provide a link between academic concerns and educational issues. This book takes a language contact perspective: we consider heritage languages from the perspective of their history, their structural properties, and their interaction with other surrounding languages.
This book presents and analyzes the essential data on nanoscale metal clusters dispersed in, or chemically bonded with polymers. Special attention is paid to the in situ synthesis of the nanocomposites, their chemical interactions, and the size and distribution of the particles in the polymer matrix. Numerous novel nanocomposites are described with regard to their mechanical, electrophysical, optical, magnetic, catalytic and biological properties. Their applications, present and future, are outlined.
In response to the catastrophic destruction of Syria’s ancient city of Palmyra, a UNESCO world heritage site, a group of major international scholars gathered to focus on the art, archaeology, and history of the beleaguered site and present their latest findings. Their papers, given at a symposium at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in May 2016, have been collected in this fascinating and important publication. They are accompanied by a moving tribute by Waleed Khaled al-Asa‘ad to his father, Khaled al-Asa‘ad, the Syrian archaeologist and head of antiquities for the ancient city of Palmyra who was brutally murdered in 2015 while defending the site. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana} Palmyra: Mirage in the Desert, published simultaneously in English and Arabic, is the latest volume in the Metropolitan Museum symposium series. It is a major contribution to the knowledge and understanding of this multicultural desert—located at the crossroads of the ancient world—that will help preserve the memory of this extraordinary place for generations to come.
Written by Dennis Coon and Art VanDeventer of Thomas Nelson Community College, this added-value study aid offers a handy reference to the "Gateways" concepts that appear at the start of each chapter. Focusing on key principles and these "transformative" ideas in psychology, the booklet provides an overview of core concepts and helps students understand how different parts of psychology are connected. Students can use the visual guides to preview material, to understand how topics relate to one another, and for review by testing their mastery of the material. The booklet also provides a list of relevant chapter-specific Web sites, related articles in the InfoTrac College Edition online library, and links to the PsychNow! 2.0 and Psyk.trek 2.0 CD-ROMs.
