Best Selling Books by Michael Bliss

This edition of a landmark work of scholarship includes both a new preface by the author and a new foreword that places the book in its historical context. When insulin was discovered in the early 1920s, even jaded professionals marveled at how it brought starved, sometimes comatose patients with diabetes back to life. Defying the average timeline, the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded for its discovery. To recount the fascinating story behind the discovery of insulin, in this classic work Michael Bliss draws on archival records and personal interviews with witnesses to the events. He unearths scientists'' memoirs and confidential appraisals of insulin by members of the Nobel Committee, bringing science to life and resolving a longstanding controversy about scientific collaboration at its most fractious and fascinating: who among the Canadian team of Frederick Banting, Charles Best, James Collip, and John Macleod ultimately deserves credit for the discovery of insulin? Or is credit due farther afield--to Georg Zuelzer in Berlin, E.L. Scott in Chicago, Israel Kleiner in New York, Nicolas Paulescu in Bucharest, John Murlin in Rochester? Bliss''s life-and-death saga illuminates one of the most important breakthroughs in the history of medicine. With a new preface by the author and a foreword by historian Alison Li, this enlarged edition celebrates the lasting impact of insulin''s discovery and ongoing importance.

One of Canada''s best-known and most-honoured biographers turns to the raw material of his own life.

If we think about growing in love we tend to think that what we have or want just gets larger and larger. That is not what the Bible teaches. The Song of Solomon uses the story of Solomon and his Shulammite bride, to illustrate how the love of a believer for his Lord and Savior grows and matures from first love, to personal love, to abiding love, to transforming love, to mature love. It is a story that illustrates the joy and blessing of an intimate relationship with Christ and how one leaves the bondage to self and becomes free to serve and follow the Lord.

The papers consist of manuscripts and typescripts together with some research materials for M. Bliss'' books: ''The Discovery of Insulin'' (McClelland & Stewart: 1982) and ''Banting: a Biography'' (McClelland & Stewart: 1984). The remainder of Michael Bliss'' papers are being donated to the University Archives.

As Australia took up its role as an elected member of the United Nations Security Council for 2013-2014, the challenges ahead were all too apparent. Dynamics between the five permanent members were particularly tense. Options for elected members to make a serious contribution appeared more limited than ever. The Council was unable to find consensus on how to address the most pressing threats to international peace and security.As Political Coordinator forAustralia''s Security Council delegation across the Council''s 2013-2014 term, Michael Bliss had a unique insight into the workings of the Council, into Australia''s contributions, and into the relationships and diplomacy that underpinned the outcomes achieved. This monograph, published six years after Australia''s fifth Council term concluded, seeks to contextualise Australia''s work during its term, and to track how those contributions have endured and resonated in subsequent years.As a senior officer of Australia''s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, a specialist in multilateral affairs, an experienced diplomat and international lawyer, and an unrelenting optimist, Bliss is well placed to tell this recent story of Australian diplomacy. In doing so, he makes a compelling case that it is in Australia''s interests to seek to again "serve with distinction" as an elected member on the Security Council, in 2029-2030.

The book of Malachi deals with hidden problems, problems that are eroding the people''s relationship with God. These problems arise when the events of daily life do not match their understanding of what a loving God would do. While they may be aware of the problems on some surface level, they are totally unaware of how their hearts have begun to whisper against God and have accused Him of all sorts of evil thoughts and intentions. God comes to His people, through His servant Malachi, and brings these problems to the surface, and, more importantly, reveals how to heal each one.
