Peter Currie’s The Tent in the Desert walks modern readers through a comprehensive understanding of the Tabernacle, putting in simple terms the significance of its detailed construction and its centrality to ancient Jewish life.

Ephesians 5:19 exhorts Christians to speak to one another “in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.” Ten Great Hymn Writers and Their Hymns introduces readers to the great wealth of hymns and spiritual songs we have inherited from past generations, focusing on the stories of seven men and three women—including a child prodigy, a believer who converted after a wild and reckless youth, and one who was blind from childhood—but the main focus is on their hymns, which should continue t...

Zebrafish are widely considered an excellent model system for vertebrate development. The embryo is transparent, thereby enabling visualization and use of labelling and transgenic approaches. Moreover, because of the ease of inducing new mutations in zebrafish and similarity with the human genome, this organism may be used effectively for disease studies. For example, mutant zebrafish are being utilized for testing drugs that will combat a range of human diseases, from Alzheimer's and canc...

This Atlas provides the main outlines of Islamic history from the immediate pre-Islamic period until the end of 1920, that is, before most parts of the Muslim world became sovereign nation states.Each map is accompanied by a text that contextualises, explains, and expands upon the map, and are fully cross-referenced.

Atmospheric and climatological studies are becoming more and more important in day-to-day living. Winds and ocean current owe their existence to the thermodynamic imbalances that arise from the differential heating of the Earth and air by the sun. Accounting for heat exchanges with the atmosphere and ocean is essential in any predictive model of the ocean and/or atmosphere. Thermodynamic feedback processes in the atmosphere and ocean are critical to understanding the overall stability of t...
