New Releases by Ian Jones

There is a very large body of literature on Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC), much of it is confusing and contradictory. This book consolidates all the relevant aspects to provide clinicians and especially trainees with an overview of this condition which informs clinical practice and aids critical appraisal of new research in this area. The topic of NEC is often a single chapter in a paediatric surgical or neonatology text. This book is an invaluable guide for anyone caring for neonates.

Hello there, I put together here some positive sets of lines in a layout and have them a separate thought to every other thought on the page...to help others cope. This book has a lot to offer as far as students go, and it can be a good reference book prior to going to sleep. So, having a second opinion at home where you can refer to it now and again, gives one that chance and a possible new way of looking at things. Schools are where bullies exist and it can be dished out personally or online. This book is written to get to the person some logic that may settle him or her down. Points of view exist here between the quotation marks and I hope you gain so much from this book.

A full-colour, 96 page collection of syndicated comic strips.

War has always provided a stimulus to technological development, and throughout the twentieth century this new technology was harnessed to produce increasingly deadly and malicious types of explosives in the form of booby traps, mines, delayed-action devices and mobile charges. Designed, constructed or adopted to kill or injure, these lethal mechanisms function when a person disturbs or approaches a seemingly harmless object or performs an apparently safe act. In other instances they are set off by remote control or automatically after a lapse of time. Fully illustrated with diagrams and photographs, Malice Aforethought traces the design, deployment and effectiveness of these deadly devices throughout both world wars to the Vietnam War. Expertly and compellingly written, this unique study is a tribute to the brave men who risked their lives daily to neutralise the booby traps laid in the dimly lit dugouts of the Western Front, on the beaches of Normandy, or in the dark and dangerous tunnels of Chu Chi.

The wrong place at the wrong time. That''s where John Smith finds himself in Downtown LA one Sunday evening; next he''s working with the LAPD, CIA and the FBI to track down an elusive group who are responsible for an ever-increasing number of murders in the city. On top of not knowing who they are, or how many, one of the group is talking.

Much can be known if you pursue knowledge and have up your sleeve a second opinion. Insight is valuable once found.: )

Once one goes through my quotes, one may see that I''m offering a second opinion about life in general which could aid point of view on various subjects about life. That''s really my only attempt here to support and be helpful. Gathering useful information is time well spent. Having it in paperback can be an ongoing reference book. Do Enjoy !

A body is found in woodland bordering the village of Pondswell, clearly a case of murder. Unfortunately, it is found in a spot used by the local Pagan group for their rituals. Inevitably this casts suspicion on them, and their leader, Elaine Morris, is angered enough to decide to investigate the case herself, using methods not usually employed by the police. Caught in the middle is community police constable Roger Pritchard, who lives in the village and who finds himself distinctly smitten by Elaine. He, therefore, has a foot in both camps. Who will solve the case? It''s five to two the cops, three to one the coven, and they''re under starter''s orders.

John Smith has a job to do. Hes in Las Vegas looking for a missing daughter, but he discovers quickly that if shes still alive, then shes in trouble. And thats where the problems begin.

The study of consumption in social life is growing. Moving from being a relatively unimportant part of the processes of production, distribution, and exchange, questions of how people consume and to what ends now occupy center stage. Today''s capitalism is exemplified by a global arena of consumption in which distance is no obstacle to distribution and ownership. Equally, social distinctions that accompanied classically "modern" forms of consumption are now more complex and fluid than classifications of "high" and "popular" culture allow.This book addresses the rise of consumer culture and the various attempts to explain and account for it. It considers the view that a particular generational framework was formed in the post-war period and has been carried on into the early twentieth century with particular consequences for the experience of later life. The rise of individualism, of mass consumption, leisure and lifestyles have been accompanied by the democratization of social forms and for many a corrosion of community and social cohesion. The text highlights how understanding is gained from examining the generational habits that developed in tandem with the rise of mass consumption.Drawing on historical perspectives and comparative studies, the book addresses social change with reference to generation effects and conflict. Having set the scene in terms of the literature on consumption, lifestyles and generational change, the volume poses key questions in relation to the transformation of later life that are addressed in turn by the contributors. This is a key volume as we enter the second decade of a new century.

War often provides a stimulus to technological development. Throughout the twentieth century, new technology was harnessed to produce increasingly deadly and malicious types of explosives in the forms of booby traps, mines, delayed-action devices, and mobile charges . . . often activated in the most inconspicuous places. Intended to kill or injure, these lethal mechanisms detonate when a person disturbs or approaches a seemingly harmless object. Other times they are set off by remote control. Compellingly written and illustrated throughout with photos and schematic drawings, Booby Traps! traces the design, deployment, and effectiveness of these deadly devices, as well as the lengths armies have gone to gain an edge.

When it comes to being bombed, London is unique. Although it cannot claim to be the most bombed capital city in terms of the weight of explosive detonated it has endured the most varied and unrelenting attack since the discovery of explosives. From the first Irish Republican bomb in 1867, London and its population have been under almost constant assault. Terrorism features in virtually every decade from the 1860s to the present and has caused much damage, particularly during the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, by far the greatest destruction was from the air. The Zeppelin and Gotha bomber raids in the First World War being but a foretaste of what would happen in the Second. Then the capital was devastated, firstly by the Luftwaffe''s aeroplanes and then Hitler''s ''vengeance'' weapons, the V-1s and V-2s. After the Second World War the bombers returned, in the form of the IRA and then the homegrown terrorists of 2005. Written by a former Explosives Officer who worked for the Counter Terrorism Command of the Metropolitan Police, this is the most comprehensive record of Britain''s capital under attack that has ever been compiled.

Jesus made clear statements within the gospels that leading up to His return many will be deceived by false teachers who will present a different gospel to which was given to the Early Church. In this book Russell gives a chronological historical view of the antichrist spirit that has obscured the original understanding of Scripture. The Ante-Nicene Fathers'' writings of the first 300 years of Church history have been deliberately suppressed to bolster political factions within the Church; many of the answers to denominational theological questions can be resolved in the study of the Ante-Nicene Fathers and their connection to the Disciples of Christ. They would have dealings with the Gnostic plague that would infect all denominations of the Christian faith and other world religions, many of the issues the Church is facing today are warning signs that were talked about by Jesus and the Early Church.Subjects include: Satan''s chronology of deception, Divine Kingship, Infiltration of Greek Philosophy, Gnosticism, Pseudo writers, False eschatologies, Replacement theology, Spiritual elitism, Church liberalism, Cultism, Darwinism, Communism, Nazism, Capitalism and the building of a Gnostic Social World Order. Russell Jones is a Biblical apologist, having served 5 years as the State Co-ordinator of ''Answers in Genesis'' (now known as C.M.I. Creation Ministries International) in Perth, Western Australia. He has a strong interest in Science and history, especially the question to the why, how and where the origin of various beliefs come from and who''s telling the truth? This has also led him to the question why the Church today is so divided when the Bible is supposed to be their authority and reference map to God''s plan to restore His fallen creation. Russell has found that many of the answers to denominational differences can be found within the suppressed writings of the Ante-Nicene Fathers, who were the first Biblical apologists and defenders of Christ''s teaching of the first three hundred years.

An examination of how religious identity changed in twentieth-century England, using Birmingham as a case-study to illuminate wider trends. The ongoing debate about secularisation and religious change in twentieth-century Britain has paid little attention to the experience of those who swam against the cultural tide and continued to attend church. This study, based on extensive original archive and oral history research, redresses this imbalance with an exploration of church-based Christianity in post-war Birmingham, examining how churchgoers interpreted and responded to the changes that theysaw in family, congregation, neighbourhood and wider society. One important theme is the significance of age and generational identity to patterns of religiosity amidst profound change in attitudes to youth, age and parenting andgrowing evidence of a widening "generation gap" in Christian belief and practice. In addition to offering a new and distinctive perspective on the changing religious identity of late twentieth-century English society, the book also provides a rare case-study in the significance of age and generation in the social and cultural history of modern Britain. Ian Jones is the Director of the Saltley Trust (an educational charity), Birmingham.

We address the issues for modeling problems of obtaining medical resources, such as beds and personnel, on a just-in-time basis for providing patient services in a hospital''s emergency department [ED]. Simulation modeling is one approach to solving this type of problem. However, most past ED simulations have been highly detailed models that specifically consider individual doctors, nurses, paramedics, orderlies, X-ray machines and other unique types of lab testing equipment as separate "resources." When arriving patients request any of these resources, the model queues them if the requested resources are busy with other patients or administrative duties. We argue that these previous simulation models are appropriate for operations planning. However, for operations control a much simpler simulation can be appropriate. We present a simpler model that forecasts in real time when a generic ED will need additional resources to avoid becoming overcrowded. After obtaining an ED bed (queuing if necessary), each patient''s treatment time in the ED is represented simply as an observation of a random variable. Although our model is significantly simpler than previous ED simulation models, it has been used successfully by the Vanderbilt University Adult Emergency Department to activate additional resources, including beds, nurses, and other personnel. This ED is located within a state-of-the-art medical center in a large urban area licensed to treat the highest levels of trauma with more than 50,000 patient visits each year. Our model was used in a pilot evaluation of simulation as a real-time tool for providing additional resources on a JIT basis to prevent significant overcrowding by accurately predicting when overcrowding will likely occur. This has allowed management in real time to inform nurses, assistant managers and educators with joint administrative/patient care duties to work exclusively on patients; to open additional temporary beds in hallways; and to expedite patient discharges. It has also been used to let flexible night-shift staff go home early. Since these resources are mobilized only when needed, their overall efficiency of utilization is increased. We discuss the simplifying assumptions in our simulation model and describe a comparable simulation written in a high-level simulation language, Arena [2008].
