It is becoming more obvious in recent years that carbohydrates present a new dimension in drug design for targeting specific diseases. Carbohydrates birthed a whole new vocabulary into chemistry, biochemistry and related disciplines -- a new language in the form of distinct characters and images providing professional chemists not in the area of carbohydrates to become familiar and knowledgeable on the topic. Carbohydrate Drug Design provides the indispensable understanding of the mutual challenge between carbohydrate-based drugs and the deadly diseases which they target. Carbohydrate Drug Design discusses pre-clinical studies and clinical trials of carbohydrate-based drugs, drug delivery and pain managements, biocompatibility, clearance and metabolic pathways of carbohydrate drugs, and actual medical devices employing carbohydrates. The invasion of cancer cells, protein-glycan interactions and their inhibitors, new carbohydrate-based therapeutics, crystal structure of antibodies with unusually high affinity for carbohydrates, and a number of other features of carbohydrate drugs are also comprehensively covered. Galactomannans and hyaluronans, as well as thio-, imino- and carba-sugars are particularly considered in respect to their structural and functional impacts.

Steam Trains and Jigsaw Puzzles strikes most people as an intriguing title. The origin is simple,however my trainspotting youth has been synchronized with a later interest in jigsaw puzzles. The result is expensive I have a collection of over 250 jigsaws depicting British steam railways. The conclusion is impossible there are over 500 steam railway jigsaw puzzles to collect and they are being supplemented annually. The Liverpool & Manchester Railway marked the arrival of the true passenger railway service in 1830 and presented jigsaw manufacturers with another subject on which to focus. Prior to this date the jigsaw experience, started by John Spilsbury in c1760, was restricted to subjects such as religion, geography, history, monarchs, the alphabet and art. Many characteristics combine to form the basis of nostalgic images buried indelibly in the minds of people who travelled in the steam railway age. Manufacturers have not been slow to tap into this nostalgia and produce jigsaws aimed at stirring those memories and inviting people to reflect on past experiences, good, bad or indifferent. Chad Valley, Victory, Good Companion,Falcon, Waddingtons and Arrow are just a few manufacturers who produced steam railway jigsaws in the past. Most of these companies are now a distant memory while others are in foreign ownership. Equally famous names such as Wentworth, Ravensburger (Germany), House of Puzzles, Gibsons, JR Puzzles and King Puzzles (Holland) continue the manufacturing tradition. Output is generally superb thanks to the efforts of fine railway artists such as Terence Cuneo, George Heiron, T. E. North, Don Breckon, John Austin, Barry Freeman and Malcolm Root. The book is aimed at anyone with an interest in jigsaw puzzles and at those enthusiasts and aficionados who refuse to allow those evocative memories of the Golden Age of Steam to die.

Um convite imediato. Uma decisão eterna. É fácil encontrar gente que se diz cristã. É igualmente fácil encontrar quem frequente alguma igreja. Mas até que ponto vai, de fato, o compromisso com Deus? Quem está disposto a enfrentar o desafio do Evangelho e levar uma vida semelhante à de Jesus? Afinal, aceitar o convite do Mestre — "Siga-me!" — não significa apenas a certeza de salvação; implica também a missão de carregar a própria cruz. Em Siga-me, David Platt (uma das mais destacadas lideranças cristãs da nova geração nos Estados Unidos) defende que a magnitude do chamado de Jesus só é ignorada por quem alimenta uma religiosidade superficial. É preciso abandonar o próprio ser para viver em Cristo e para Cristo. Este livro é um convite à jornada rumo à vida eterna daqueles que, por conhecê-lo verdadeiramente, vivem como discípulos e dedicam-se a proclamar o Reino.

David Platt, autor de Radical, éxito del New York Times, investiga: ¿«Qué quiso decir realmente Jesús cuando dijo: "Sígueme"?». Para muchos cristianos, seguir a Jesús es mejor visto desde lejos. Queremos ser discípulos mientras serlo no se entrometa en nuestro estilo de vida, en nuestras preferencias, en nuestras comodidades e incluso en nuestra religión. ¿Y si realmente tomáramos el tiempo de mirar a Jesús a los ojos y ver quién es él realmente? ¿Qué tal si en verdad escuchamos las palabras que Jesús está pronunciando? La invitación de Jesús para seguirle fue --y todavía es-- una invitación a una relación marcada por abnegación, intimidad personal, ambición resuelta y alegría infinita. Cuando las personas en verdad se comprometen con esta invitación personal de Jesús a seguirlo, todo cambia, puesto que es digno de toda nuestra confianza y todo nuestro afecto. Edificando sobre las lecciones de Radical, este libro nos motivará a todos a experimentar el gran propósito para el cual hemos sido creados: Exaltar la gloria de Dios esparciendo el evangelio de Cristo por toda la tierra, --para hacer discípulos que harán discípulos. David Platt, author of the New York Times bestselling book Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream, wants to know "What did Jesus really mean when He said, ''Follow me''?" For many Christians, following Jesus is seen as best done from a distance. We want to be disciples as long as doing so does not intrude on our lifestyles, our preferences, our comforts, and even our religion. But what if we really took the time to look Jesus in the eye and see who He truly is? What if we really listened to Jesus'' words and heard what He is truly saying? Jesus'' invitation to follow Him was--and still is--an invitation into a relationship marked by self-denial, personal intimacy, single-minded ambition, and ultimate joy. When people truly engage with Jesus'' personal invitation to follow Him, everything changes, for He is worthy of all our trust and all our affections. Building on the lessons in Radical, this book will motivate all of us to experience the grand purpose for which we have been created: to exalt the glory of God by spreading the gospel of Christ--to make disciples who are making disciples.

David Platt, autor bestseller del New York Times, embarca al lector en un viaje desgarrador, espiritual e introspectivo por los barrios empobrecidos de las montañas del Himalaya. Con una gran pasión y sorprendente vulnerabilidad, Platt desafía a los lectores a marcar la diferencia en un mundo lleno de necesidades urgentes, comenzando en sus propias ciudades. Mientras dirigía un grupo en una larga caminata por las montañas del Himalaya, el autor bestseller y pastor David Platt, se sorprendió de las necesidades humanas que iba descubriendo en el camino, fue una experiencia tan dramática que "cambió la trayectoria de mi vida", comenta el autor en el libro. Al encontrarse con un hombre que había perdido un ojo por una simple infección, al ver la trata de niños en las ciudades y muchos otros sucesos inolvidables, vio cara a cara a las personas detrás de los números estadísticos y lo obligó a luchar con lo que él pensaba que era la fe. En Algo tiene que cambiar / Something Needs to Change, Platt invita a los lectores a participar tanto en la caminata como en la travesía de buscar respuestas a preguntas difíciles como, "¿Dónde está Dios cuando hay sufrimiento?" "¿Qué hace que mi religión sea mejor que la de otra persona?" y "¿Qué pienso acerca del sufrimiento eterno?" Platt ha creado un mensaje indeleble sobre lo que significa dar tu vida por el Evangelio: dejar de hablar sobre la fe y empezar a vivirla verdaderamente".

El autor de Radical, un éxito de ventas del New York Times, desafía a los cristianos a liberarse del evangelio actual que prostituye a Jesús por comodidad, poder, prosperidad y política, y a buscar por completo el verdadero evangelio que exalta a Jesús por encima de todo. El pastor David Platt cree que nos hemos vuelto muy buenos siguiendo un evangelio realmente malo, uno que adora las ideas estadounidenses sobre la verdad bíblica. Es hora de que los cristianos desilusionados, desalentados y divididos, y la próxima generación, sigan a Jesús hacia un futuro diferente. Tenemos que elegir: un evangelio estadounidense o el evangelio bíblico. División mundana o unidad de otro mundo. Compromiso con los ídolos de nuestro país o compromiso con el llamado de Dios en nuestras vidas. En No te detengas, Platt alienta a los seguidores de Jesús a tomar los riesgos necesarios y encontrar una recompensa inimaginable mientras: Trabajamos a favor, no en contra, unos de otros, especialmente cuando no estamos de acuerdo. Cambiamos el rumbo de siglos de división racial en la Iglesia Confiamos en toda la Palabra de Dios con convicción mientras amamos con compasión a todos los que nos rodean Hacemos justicia con bondad y experimentamos la buena vida según Dios Hacemos nuestra parte en la difusión del evangelio a todas las naciones del mundo Podemos experimentar la maravilla completa de Jesús y la belleza trascendente de su Iglesia aquí y ahora. Pero para hacerlo, algunas cosas deben ser diferentes. Empecemos no con “esa gente”, sino con cada uno de nosotros. Con el evangelio en nuestros corazones y Dios como nuestro premio, sigamos adelante y no nos detengamos. u200b u200b The New York Times bestselling author of Radical challenges Christians to break free from an American gospel that prostitutes Jesus for comfort, power, prosperity, and politics—and fully pursue the true gospel that exalts Jesus above all. Pastor David Platt believes we’ve gotten really good at following a really bad gospel—one that worships American ideas over biblical truth. It’s time for disillusioned, discouraged, and divided Christians, and the next generation, to follow Jesus into a different future. But we have to make a choice: an American gospel or the biblical gospel, worldly division or otherworldly unity, compromise with the idols of our country or commitment to God’s call in our lives. In Don’t Hold Back, Platt encourages followers of Jesus to take necessary risks and find unimaginable reward as we: Work for, not against, each other, especially when we disagree Turn the tide on centuries of racial division in the church Trust all of God’s Word with conviction while loving everyone around us with compassion Do justice with kindness and experience the good life according to God Play our part in spreading the gospel to all the nations of the world We can experience the full wonder of Jesus and the transcendent beauty of His church here and now. But in order to do so, some things need to be different. Starting not in “those people,” but in each one of us. With the gospel in our hearts and God as our prize, let’s press on and don’t hold back.

Una llamada compasiva a la contracultura en un mundo de pobreza, matrimonios del mismo sexo, racismo, esclavitud sexual, inmigración, persecución, aborto, huérfanos, pornografía. Bienvenido al frente de batalla. A todo lugar al que nos dirigimos hoy en día, los frentes de batalla están puestos: el matrimonio tradicional contra el matrimonio homosexual, la pro-vida contra pro-elección, la libertad personal contra la protección gubernamental. De repente la cultura cambió al punto donde ya no se mide lo que está bien y lo que está mal con la verdad universal sino con la opinión popular. Las conversaciones difíciles sobre la homosexualidad, el aborto, y la libertad religiosa siguen infiltrándosen en nuestros trabajos, iglesias, escuelas y en nuestros hogares. Mientras tanto los cristianos en todas partes se hacen la misma pregunta: ¿Cómo se supone que tenemos que responder a todo esto? En Contracultura, el autor de éxito del New York Times, David Platt, muestra como los cristianos deben participar activamente en cuestiones como la pobreza, la explotación sexual, el matrimonio, el aborto, el racismo y la libertad religiosa y desafía a todos a ser voces apasionadas y constantes para Cristo. El frente de batalla ya está puesto y ha llegado la hora en que los cristianos se levanten para entregar un mensaje del evangelio que es más radical incluso, que los temas más polémicos de la actualidad. A compassionate call to counter culture in a world of poverty, same-sex marriage, racism, sex slavery, immigration, abortion, persecution, orphans, and pornography. Welcome to the front lines. Everywhere we turn, battle lines are being drawn—traditional marriage vs. gay marriage, pro-life vs. pro-choice, personal freedom vs. governmental protection. Seemingly overnight, culture has shifted to the point where right and wrong are no longer measured by universal truth but by popular opinion. And as difficult conversations about homosexuality, abortion, and religious liberty continue to inject themselves into our workplaces, our churches, our schools, and our homes, Christians everywhere are asking the same question: How are we supposed to respond to all this? In Counter Culture, New York Times bestselling author David Platt shows Christians how to actively take a stand on such issues as poverty, sex trafficking, marriage, abortion, racism, and religious liberty and challenges all to become passionate, unwavering voices for Christ. The lines have been drawn. The moment has come for Christians to rise up and deliver a gospel message that’s more radical than even the most controversial issues of our day.

Student book that accompanies the six-session Bible study.

The earliest Christians had the privilege of bearing the name of Jesus Christ to enemies of the gospel. They were residents of the Roman Republic, but also citizens of heaven. They were persecuted for their faith, but were unashamed of the gospel. They knew him whom they believed and were persuaded he was able to deliver them from evil. Fast-forward twenty centuries. Spiritual temperatures are again dropping. These citizens of heaven are now resident throughout the world, and are being granted the privilege of the early saints. As nations grow ever more hostile to Christ and his followers, Jesus summons those who bear his name to be unashamed. He is the only hope of salvation for all who repent and believe. In Unashamed of the Gospel, authors Matt Chandler, R. Albert Mohler Jr., John MacArthur, Thabiti Anyabwile, Mark Dever, Kevin DeYoung, J. Ligon Duncan III, John Piper, and David Platt come together for the gospel to encourage Christians with Paul''s pastoral plea to Timothy: "do not be ashamed about the testimony of our Lord" (2 Timothy 1:8).
