Timeless Ripples concerns becoming beautifully oneself. The fictitious and non-fictitious characters heard a saying of, spoke with, or encountered Jesus in some way--Roman soldiers, religious leaders, farmers, innkeepers, prisoners, prostitutes, disciples, the serpent, philosophers, Judas Iscariot, and many others. Some hate Jesus, some love him, some are ambivalent, some are mystified, some are atheists, some are fanatics, etc. The story of one character interacts with the stories of othe...

Traditional ways of thinking about the teachings of Jesus are often bound to one system of thought or another. Such ways of thinking are typically greater expressions of society's thinking (whether in the church or in the world) than what Jesus taught. Jesus is Not Safe concerns some such ways, ways that a thoughtful disciple of Jesus needs to challenge.

Drug Discovery Stories, Volume Two showcases the discovery journeys of recent blockbuster drugs approved between 2023 and 2024, along with promising drug candidates. This book delves into structural biology, biological functions of targets, hit compound identification, hit-to-lead optimization, binding modes, key biological and pharmacokinetic data, and clinical results. It also covers other candidate compounds against the same targets and includes additional content based on the authors' ...

Drug Discovery Stories: From Bench to Bedside presents a collection of cases on the development of highly successful pharmaceuticals. It delves into the realm of drug discovery, exploring the structural biology and biological functions of the sought-after targets. The book covers the identification of promising compounds, their transformation from hits to leads through meticulous optimization, and the elucidation of how key compounds interact with the target (in essence, providing invaluab...

Using real-world data case studies, this innovative and accessible textbook introduces an actionable framework for conducting trustworthy data science.Most textbooks present data science as a linear analytic process involving a set of statistical and computational techniques without accounting for the challenges intrinsic to real-world applications. Veridical Data Science, by contrast, embraces the reality that most projects begin with an ambiguous domain ...

Privileged Scaffolds in Drug Discovery is the most complete and up-to-date work in the area. Covering a wide range of privileged structures, it is a perfect reference for scientists involved in targeted drug development. The editors recruited epserts from several prestigious Chinese institutions to cover the areas of antiviral drugs, chalcone, pyrimidine, (benz)imidazoles, natural product-derived privileged scaffolds, N-Sulfonyl carboxamides, kinase inhibitors, antitumor molecules, antineu...
