The best stories of all are the amazing tales of the Old Testament, but people often feel intimidated. It’s the Bible, right? The language seems hard to understand, and what’s with all those genealogy lists? Luckily, Jacob Klein is here to help, with warm, friendly, accessible versions of the Old Testament stories you need to know. Find out about the chaos of the Tower of Babel, Samson’s strength and how he lost it, and why, although Solomon was the wisest king of legend, he still made mistakes. You’ll be enthralled by the events leading to the destruction of Jerusalem, and you’ll cheer as the Jews rebuild. But most of all, you’ll be immersed in a world in which sin existed…but there was no salvation. This wonderful book illuminates the prophecies that pointed toward the arrival of the Messiah and the hope for humankind in Jesus Christ. Entertaining, compelling, and inspiring, this book is the perfect jump-start for your faith journey.
If you’re a Christian, you know that Jesus took the sin of all mankind upon Himself, to offer redemption and everlasting life to those who believe in Him. But did you know that in His own time, the Jews expected the Messiah to be a military leader who would liberate them from Rome? Our current understanding of Jesus and His role was very different from that of His contemporaries and the first disciples. This accessible, compulsively readable book tells the story of Jesus’ life with different twists. You’ll be enthralled by Jesus’ teachings, appreciate the significance of His power to perform miracles, and dig deeper into the meaning of some of His best-known parables. You’ll see the connections between Jesus and the prophecies of the Old Testament. You’ll walk alongside His first disciples and become entangled in the plot that led to His arrest, trial, and death. But most of all, you’ll see that although Jesus was obedient to His father in heaven, he bucked convention in his life on Earth—from the Romans and the Sanhedrin to everyday Jews and sometimes even His close friends, Jesus was perceived as a rebel who broke new ground in faith and action. Whether you are new to your faith journey or revisiting a well-loved road, this compelling guide to Jesus’ life and times is the extra insight you need to spark your soul.
This volume contains nineteen survey papers describing the state of current research in discrete and computational geometry as well as a set of open problems presented at the 2006 AMS-IMS-SIAM Summer Research Conference Discrete and Computational Geometry--Twenty Years Later, held in Snowbird, Utah, in June 2006. Topics surveyed include metric graph theory, lattice polytopes, the combinatorial complexity of unions of geometric objects, line and pseudoline arrangements, algorithmic semialgebraic geometry, persistent homology, unfolding polyhedra, pseudo-triangulations, nonlinear computational geometry, $k$-sets, and the computational complexity of convex bodies.
The fourth edition of Phacoemulsification provides a comprehensive discussion of the subject, from its history, to phaco-hardware, such as machines and pumps, and phaco-software, for example fluidics, software-assisted torsional phaco; to viscosurgical devices, surgical techniques, premium IOLs and management of complications. With contributions from international specialists and almost more than 800 images and illustrations, this book describes in detail new techniques and developments in the treatment of cataracts. A DVD ROM is included covering aphakic bullous keratopathy, traumatic dislocation of IOL, glued IOL reloaded, aniridia with subluxated cataract and glaucoma, and much more.
The premier comprehensive textbook in the field, Yaffe and Aranda’s Neonatal and Pediatric Pharmacology, Fifth Edition, provides an authoritative overview of all aspects of drug therapy in newborns, children, and adolescents. It offers evidence-based guidelines for safe, effective, and rational drug therapy, including specific recommendations for all major drug classes and diseases. Now in a vibrant two-color format, this fully revised reference is an indispensable resource for pediatricians, neonatologists, pediatric residents, and fellows in different pediatric subspecialties, including neonatal medicine and pediatric critical care.

This volume is a collection of refereed expository and research articles in discrete and computational geometry written by leaders in the field. Articles are based on invited talks presented at the AMS-IMS-SIAM Summer Research Conference, "Discrete and Computational Geometry: Ten Years Later", held in 1996 at Mt. Holyoke College (So.Hadley, MA). Topics addressed range from tilings, polyhedra, and arrangements to computational topology and visibility problems. Included are papers on the interaction between real algebraic geometry and discrete and computational geometry, as well as on linear programming and geometric discrepancy theory.
