5-0 out of 5 stars A readable, informative overview
This extensively illustrated book tells general, interested readers as much about the origins and nature of different types of writing as most will want to know.The short, concise chapters, typically two pages long, range over subjects as diverse as Sumerian cuneiform and modern standardized signs for travelers.The author devotes particular attention to Egyptian hieroglyphs and Chinese characters, though he provides less adequate coverage of writing systems used on the Indian subcontinent.Throughout, he emphasizes the distinction between writing systems based on sounds (alphabets) and those using symbols to represent things or concepts.He makes the intriguing point that some written languages have mixed the two together. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars A moving account of a young man facing death
As someone who is facing death myself, I was pleased to receive this short book from my parish priest because we can learn so much from the testimony of others. Andrew had great faith and thus he faced his death with dignifed acceptance and chirpiness and yet he hoped for a restoration to health, which is only natural. What struck me on reading the book is how individual is the process of death - none of us goes about our dying in the exact same way.

I too am a devout catholic and I accepted my diagnosis even though it was a huge shock. It is obvious that as Andrew comes nearer the end a kind of joy/excitement came to the fore - I too feel that way - to see the Divine Master face to face and to bow down before him and cling to his feet and not to hear "noli tangere" but instead "come to me all you who labour and are overburdened" and enter into eternal beatitude. What joy!

What is most sad and moving about this book is Andrew's youth - he was only 31 and his joie de vivre and youthful vivacity is palpable. It made me aware of how hard it must be to die young with vitality running through one's veins. I myself am only 10+ years older than Andrew when he died but having had a lot of my suffering in my life, it has been easier for me to accept death - a few years ago I reached that point in my life where, like Peter, I could only say to Christ: "Lord, where shall we go, you have the message of eternal life" - a kind of knowledge that nothing on this earth can satisfy - only seeing God face to face can bring that ultimate ecstatic happiness.

Thank you Andrew for this book - I hope to see you soon (well, not too soon!) in the company of the angels and of the saints. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars An explosively colorful portrayal of geological phenomenons
Andrew Robinson does a wonderful job of coupling easy to understand text with explosively colorful visual imagery to create a book that can be enjoyed by either the novice naturalist or the most educated expert.Iparticularly enjoyed the chapters on earthquakes and volcanoes where hegraphically depicts the geophysics behind the natural phenomenon andcouples the graphs with brilliant pictures, allowing the reader to visuallyand geophysically relate to these topics.

5-0 out of 5 stars Simple English explanations of complex disaster scenarios
I found this book fascinating.The text was easy to understand, writtenin plain English rather than pseudoscientific gibberish, and wasaccompanied by excellent maps, photos and illustrations.I wasparticularly fond of the sections regarding asteroid collisions, globalwarming, and the next ice age.(Who would have thought Regency England hada mini ice age?) ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
Theories of liberal multiculturalism seek to reconcile cultural rights with universal liberal principles. Some focus on individual autonomy; others emphasize communal identity. Andrew Robinson argues that liberal multiculturalism can be justified without privileging either. By appealing to the deeper value of meaningful life, he shows how autonomy and community are actually interdependent. He concludes by illustrating - with reference to national and ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples, and traditional communities - the policy principles that can be derived from this position.

An innovative account of the theory and practice of liberal multiculturalism, Multiculturalism and the Foundations of Meaningful Life will interest students, scholars, activists and policy makers working in areas of political theory, multiculturalism, indigenous peoples, and ethnic and religious minorities. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description

This book examines issues of organisation in resistance movements, discussing topics including the integration of the world system, the intersection of networks with discourses of identity, and the possibility of social transformation.

Drawing on a number of theorists including Deleuze and Guattari, authors Athina Karatzogianni and Andrew Robinson seek to reinterpret World Systems Theory in order to engage with issues of power, resistance, and conflict in the contemporary world. Discussing contemporary scholarship in global politics, the authors consider new and developing concepts including: global cities, bifurcations, hegemonic transitions, the relationship between capitalism and the state, the position of East Asia, and active and reactive network movements. Their analysis includes a very rich pool of empirical examples covering more than fifty countries and thirty resistance groups.

Power, Resistance and Conflict in the Contemporary World will be of interest to students and scholars looking for a comprehensive new theorization of the forces at work in global politics. The book provides a framework which crosses the boundaries between international relations, international political economy, comparative politics, conflict studies, social movement studies and critical theory, producing a study of a highly interdisciplinary scope.

This extensively revised, updated, and expanded second edition of a classic laboratory manual applies new understanding of molecular mechanisms to the rational design and development of vaccines.

New to this edition are cutting-edge chapters on two different viral vectors (Vaccinia and Semliki Forest), lactic acid bacteria for delivery of foreign antigens, incorporation of immunomodulators into plasmid DNA vaccines, construction of tetramer complexes to detect CMI responses, assessment of functional antibody responses, and the use of complete genome sequences for vaccine design. There are also chapters describing more general techniques for vaccine formulation, delivery, and assessment of immune responses, and review discussions of scale-up to manufacture, vaccine quality assurance, and clinical trials. ...
