Bøger af Robert Bishop

In his writing debut, Bishop cleverly crosses genres and twists a riddle to weave a suspenseful story of men tossed about by time. The story is set in motion by a man named Colby Wagner, who receives a notebook containing the unlikely recipe to time travel. As it becomes clear that the notebook is not a hoax, but a very serious reality, Wagner tenaciously forges a new future for himself, built upon the possibilities. Yet, in order to secure his legacy, Wagner is forced to find the men that brought him the notebook. This forces a similarly uncouth young man, Jonathan Pence, into the role of unsuspecting hero. Alongside two others, Pence must prepare to be sent back in time to do what has already been done. In a world of improbability, the rules seem moot, trust is found as quickly as it is fought, weaknesses are overcome or quickly exploited, and destiny is both doubted and decided. With mystery and peril surrounding them, the hapless players each are on a path headed toward a critical point, wherein, just for a moment, they will be faced with the choice of becoming masters of their own fate or underlings to it.

The book is divided into four parts; the first deals with the fundamental principles of fractals, diffusion and nonlinear dynamics; the second with drug dissolution, release, and absorption; the third with epirical, compartmental, and stochastic pharmacokinetic models, with two new chapters, one on fractional pharmacokinetics and one on bioequivalence; and the fourth mainly with classical and nonclassical aspects of pharmacodynamics. The classical models that have relevance and application to these sciences are also considered throughout. This second edition has new information on reaction limited models of dissolution, non binary biopharmaceutic classification system, time varying models, and interface models.

Each chapter addresses the most common problems encountered in a particular space living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, office, or hall and presents solutions and sample layouts, as well as numerous color photos showing transformed spaces "before" and "after" that illustrate small-space design tips. she finally offers a practical, user-friendly guide to decorating small spaces so they look stylish, beautiful, and larger than their actual dimensions. Setting out from the premise that it doesn't take lots of money to achieve a warm and inviting atmosphere, she delivers practicality and inspiration that's affordable.

This Festschrift honours the dedicated book historian and medievalist Gabriele Müller Oberhäuser. Her wide ranging scholarly expertise has encouraged and influenced many adepts of the book. The essays in this volume reflect the variety of her interests: The contributions range from Chaucer's Fürstenspiegel to the value of books in comedy, from the material book to the magical book in religious and literary cultures, from collaborative efforts in manuscript production to the relations of distributors of books across national and ideological boundaries, from the relations between the makers of books to the relation of readers to their books.

As computational hardware continues to develop at a rapid pace, quantitative computations are playing an increasingly essential role in the study of biomolecular systems. One of the most important challenges that the field faces is to develop the next generation of computational models that strike the proper balance of computational efficiency and accuracy, so that the problems of increasing complexity can be tackled in a systematic and physically robust manner. In particular, properly treating intermolecular interactions is fundamentally important for the reliability of all computational models. In this book, contributions by leading experts in the area of biomolecular simulations discuss cutting-edge ideas regarding effective strategies to describe many-body effects and electrostatics at quantum, classical, and coarse-grained levels.

The present book is no ordinary anthology, but rather a workroom in which anthropologists and philosophers initiate a dialogue on trust and hope, two important topics for both fields of study. The book combines work between scholars from different universities in the U.S. and Denmark. Thus, besides bringing the two disciplines in dialogue, it also cuts across differences in national contexts and academic style. The interdisciplinary efforts of the contributors demonstrate how such a collaboration can result in new and challenging ways of thinking about trust and hope.

The book shows how Deleuze's work contributes to contemporary debatesin each of the major areas of philosophy: metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, andpolitical philosophy. Hughes begins by examining Deleuze's style, aiming toexplain and justify Deleuze's often complex and challenging use of language byplacing it within a discussion of the ends and methods of philosophicalinquiry. He goes on to examine each of the major fields of philosophy throughDeleuze's key concepts, showing how Deleuze challenges, articulates andcontributes to contemporary debates in a way that has practical applicationsfor anyone doing philosophy today.

Now in its 15th edition, this proven, market leading book remains a favorite among readers of all backgrounds for its clear, concise treatment of international trade and finance theory. Using a wealth of contemporary examples and practical applications, INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS vividly demonstrates the relevance of theory to real-world economic issues and policy questions. Discussions are presented both verbally and graphically, making the book highly accessible even if you have little economics background. As you will soon discover, "If it's clear, concise, and contemporary, it has to be Carbaugh.

Multimedia Based Instructional Design is a thoroughly revised and updated second edition of the best selling book that provided a complete guide to designing and developing interactive multimedia training. While most training companies develop their training programs in many different technological delivery media computer based, web-based, and distance learning technologies this unique book demonstrates that the same instructional design process can be used for all media. Using just one process reduces cycle time for course development and also reduces costs.

Two boys, Colin Monro a Protestant and Tom O'Neill a Catholic, both born at the beginning of the Second World War become blood brothers in the innocence of childhood friendship. Both boys grow into men with the expectations of their communities, Colin becoming an Officer in the Parachute Regiment and Special Air Service, Tom a solicitor and a leader of the Provisional IRA. Through their eyes and those of their family and friends we experience the influence of a closed environment on the social history of a Province, which can lead to mans' inhumanity even to the people they love.
