Told in an achingly beautiful voice, Salleys Kitchen conveys the story of a tender first love among brutal racial hatred. Set among the sandhills of a western South Carolina cotton farm it is ripped from the actual events that occurred in that region during the late 1960s. With painstaking realism, the story paints an intense portrait of life as a black person during the Jim Crow Era in the South. Seen through the eyes of a young white boy, lovingly raised since an infant in the southern black culture, his unique point of view articulates his struggle to enter adulthood as a white, black person.

Drugs produced by molecular biological techniques, called the 'biologics', differ from the usual chemical medications. Their optimum use, and the detection and managemenet of adverse events, pose a significant challenge to the clinician. Licences for new biologics continue to be granted for the likes of rituximab, abatacept and certocizumals pegol. Intensive research is also defining new areas in which these drugs will be used in the future, increasing the number of practitioners using biologics. As the use of these drugs increases around the world, so the level of information needed by primary care practitioners and specialist prescribers needs to be expanded The Handbook of Biological Therapy provides the practising clinician with a practica guide to the use of Tumour Necrosis Factor Blocking Therapy (TNF-blockers), and important new class of biologic therapy for rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis. It is a comprehensive distillation of the authors' clinical experience with these drugs, combined with data from diverse databases offering practical advice on their uses, specific indications, supporting clinical trial data and safety issues, with the aim of making the use of these drugs easier for the busy clinician. All of the authors have been involved from the beginnings of the clinical trial programmes with these drugs and continue to use them in daily practice.

'In the Beginning' is the second in a series of stories about the fictional Sullivan family. This irrepressible family begins with an indentured servant coming to the New World before the United States became a nation. 'In the Beginning' chronicles the struggles of an Irish immigrant arriving in Charles Town, South Carolina around 1737. It follows his settling in the wilderness of the Central Savannah River Area between South Carolina and Georgia. In vivid detail it describes the family's involvement in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and the war for racial equality that continues today. Set in the sand hills of western South Carolina, it documents the extraordinary history of the region, and brings to light the important part this 'backcountry' area played in helping the American colonies gain independence from Great Britain. Much like the story of the United States, this story offers a plethora of hardships and mistakes endured by this family as they sought life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Whether you are a pilgrim, Bible student, or intending tourist, this is quite a different book about the Holy Land. It is a reflective travelogue written as a journal of an in-depth study tour and is a remarkable treasury of encounters, conversations, discussions, observations, and analyses of biblical and current events in Israel from Dan in the north to Beersheba in the south. Added to that is the author’s thrilling account of a bicycle safari through the Jordanian desert to Petra, culminating in a hike up Mount Sinai!

In stinging realism, Mr. Weeks' fictional story offers a tender love story set among the brutal racism that gripped his home in the western sand hills of South Carolina during the late 1960s. With authentic and vivid depictions of the racial vitriol of that time, it is a must read for those that did not live through this period. Given the drama that presently grips our nation, recalling those unspeakable atrocities is a timely reminder of a past to which we must never return.

How do intra-project risks interact and how can we take those interactions into special consideration? Let's look at a famous example of how multiple-risk materializations led to one of the world's best-known disasters, the sinking of the RMS Titanic on 15 April 1912. In this case, almost every conceivable known unknown (risks) that could occur did occur, with a couple unknown unknowns as well.

Bruce Bishop and his wife Lindy blundered into the adventure tourism industry in the late eighties and never looked back. For thirty years they led tour groups in Australia and later in North America and Europe and dealt with numerous awkward and challenging situations. But the many life-changing experiences and fun times shared with people they met along the way far outnumbered any hiccups.This story takes you on four-wheel-drive buses through difficult terrain in outback Australia, Far North Queensland and Alaska, then explores further into North America, and culminates in European bicycle tours. Bruce's love of the unique buses they used shines through this story, as does the rich array of characters who toured with him.
