The books of the twelve Minor Prophets are some of the least studied by Christians today, but they contain some of the great themes of Scripture, such as God's mercy and judgment, His covenant with Israel, the day of the Lord, and the coming of the Messiah. Arguing for a canonical unity that recognizes the Minor Prophets as one cohesive composition, Michael Shepherd explains the historical meaning of each verse of the twelve books and also provides guidance for application and preaching. Pastors, teachers, and serious students of Scripture will find a wealth of insights for understanding the Minor Prophets. - from publisher.

Conceptual Issues in Psychological Medicine is a collection of papers written by the celebrated psychiatrist, Michael Shepherd, who was one of the originators of psychiatric epidemiology in the UK and a leading social psychiatrist of his generation. He designed and implemented some of the first systematic studies into what are now widely recognised clinical syndromes. His extensive research experience and his advocacy of a scientific approach to social psychiatry form the basis of the essays contained in this book. Covering such issues as the development of research strategy and the difficulties involved in completing psychiatric studies, Shepherd's papers address many of the issues currently facing professionals in this field. He writes authoritatively and engagingly on clinical syndromes, the history of ideas and the use of the epidemiological approach in psychiatry. Conceptual Issues in Psychological Medicine stimulates and informs the reader in equal measure; it will be a welcome addition to the bookshelf of any practitioner of medicine.

When it comes to solving cases, tough-guy private investigator Paul Doyle is equally adept at throwing haymakers and one-liners.

He'll have to think his way through this case...and thinking has never been his strong suit.As the bullets fly and a trail of bodies appear to be linked to Cherry's disappearance, Doyle believes he's getting close to the truth. And when the killing gets personal, he knows he may be the next one in the killer's crosshairs.

After acute nervous tissue injury. Regional analysis of the water diffusion changes after A23187 treatment proved difficult because of microscopic slice movements and partial volume effects. Control data, however, suggested that the distinct cytoarchitecture of hippocampal regions influences the observed diffusion properties of water. To assess the validity of the hippocampal slice model, a final study measured water diffusion in human hippocampal slices procured from epilepsy patients. This human tissue had normal electrophysiological responses and exhibited similar water diffusion properties to rat hippocampal slices. Data in this dissertation indicate that water diffusion studies in rat hippocampal slices have clinical relevance and provide interesting insights into the diffusion properties of water in normal and acutely injured brain. This work should aid the development of working models of water diffusion in nervous tissue, leading to an improved clinical utility for diffusion MRI.
