New Releases by Robert Kraus

The Bible is a portrait of love painted on a canvas of forgiveness and reconciliation. We don''t always see that portrait in the relationships closest to us, however. Robert Kraus wrote Family Forgiveness and Reconciliation to help bridge the gap between what we see in the Bible and what we see in our families. For this, his second book, Robert welcomed input from eight talented individuals with a combined pastoral experience of over 200 years. In easy-to-read chapters, he paints an achievable portrait of love as he describes the benefits of forgiveness and reconciliation. Concise and engaging stories illustrate various facets of this very important topic, which provides insight for resolving minor yet painful issues, such as missing a birthday or anniversary, as well as major offenses like infidelity or deceit. Part One lays the biblical foundation. Part Two offers practical, insightful guidance, enabling readers to understand the power and joy associated with forgiveness and reconciliation. Family Forgiveness and Reconciliation is the perfect choice for anyone looking for an uplifting reading experience.b

This book is designed to introduce the reader to the field of NMR/MRI at very low magnetic fields, from milli-Tesla to micro-Tesla, the ultra-low field (ULF) regime. The book is focused on applications to imaging the human brain, and hardware methods primarily based upon pre-polarization methods and SQUID-based detection. The goal of the text is to provide insight and tools for the reader to better understand what applications are best served by ULF NMR/MRI approaches. A discussion of the hardware challenges, such as shielding, operation of SQUID sensors in a dynamic field environment, and pulsed magnetic field generation are presented. One goal of the text is to provide the reader a framework of understanding the approaches to estimation and mitigation of low signal-to-noise and long imaging time, which are the main challenges. Special attention is paid to the combination of MEG and ULF MRI, and the benefits and challenges presented by trying to accomplish both with the same hardware. The book discusses the origin of unique relaxation contrast at ULF, and special considerations for image artifacts and how to correct them (i.e. concomitant gradients, ghost artifacts). A general discussion of MRI, with special consideration to the challenges of imaging at ULF and unique opportunities in pulse sequences, is presented. The book also presents an overview of some of the primary applications of ULF NMR/MRI being pursued.

A lonely little mouse has to be resourceful in order to bring his family back together.

A lonely little mouse has to be resourceful to bring his family back together. In a series of delightfully imaginary achievements, “nobody’s mouse” transforms himself into the beloved hero of his mother, father, sister, and brand-new baby brother. In their very first collaboration, Robert Kraus and Jose Aruego give charm and validity to one of childhood’s more difficult experiences. Tender and catchy, Robert Kraus’s rhyming text, combined with Jose Aruego’s large, vibrantly clever illustrations, makes for a storytime classic.
