With precision and insight, John Hammond brings to life the socio-political landscape of ancient Israel, painting a vivid picture of a society on the brink of divine judgment. Through accessible analysis, this book examines the timeless relevance of Amos's call to moral responsibility and social equity. From his vivid oracles against the powerful to his profound advocacy for the oppressed, Amos challenges readers to confront issues of injustice and to seek a life rooted in integrity and faith. Ideal for students of theology, history, and ethics, Amos: Prophet of Justice and Judgment invites readers to engage with a prophetic voice that still speaks to the moral dilemmas of today's world.

The Encyclopedia of Plant Viruses and Viroids provides an up-to-date information on the viruses and viroids infecting all types of cultivated and weed plants at global level; and is unique among plant virology texts as it is organized alphabetically by the genus name of the host plant infected. It allows the reader to readily determine all of the different viruses currently reported naturally infecting the plant genus and species. Information is provided for each virus and viroids on common synonyms, current taxonomic status, geographical distribution, symptoms induced, other known hosts, means of transmission and properties of both the virus particles and the genome. Where ever the same virus is known to infect multiple hosts, host-specific information, biological properties and genome characters are presented under each host affected. The index can be utilized to identify other crops infected by the same virus, showing which other crops might be at risk of infection in the event of introduction of a virus that has not previously reported in an area, or which might serve as potential virus reservoirs for infection of more sensitive or economically important crops than the host in which it is initially identified. The taxonomy and nomenclature of the viruses and viroids are followed based on the current guidelines of the 10th ICTV Report, covering up to 2018 and also about many new viruses and viroids that have been reported but not yet recognized as species by ICTV, have been included in this Encyclopedia. The uniqueness of this Encyclopedia is that all the known viruses and viroids affecting more than 1010 plant species at global level are described and the plant species are arranged in alphabetical order of the scientific name of the plant along the relevant information on 1518 viruses and viroids and is the ready-reckoner of the global plant species and their viruses and viroids for students, scientists, teachers of Plant Pathology& Virology; and also for the crop protection professionals, agricultural policymakers, seed companies and quarantine agencies.

You work as a form teacher / tutor / mentor in years 12 or 13, or in a sixth form college.You want your hard-working students to have a better chance of getting great grades and into a top university.You know that private schools do this more easily than state institutions and you want to redress this balance.This book is for you.The author, privately educated himself, taught in a state school for his entire career and specialized in enabling his students to pass their A-levels with higher than usual grades. He also helped them to do all the preparatory work necessary to ensure a much more successful UCAS application, thus mirroring or bettering the private schools' methods.He achieved this through a combination of insight and a holistic approach. His students grew in self-esteem and took control of their own learning in a way that few of their peers imagined possible. Mind-set, organisation, study-skills, revision skills, exam technique, use of free time and study periods, work placements, University choice and writing of the personal statement were just some of the things he dealt with in his comprehensive programme. His students were taught not to work harder, simply smarter. He proved that it is possible to achieve the highest grades and a place at a Russell Group university, over and over again.This book is a comprehensive guide to achieving similar results.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

John Hammond's poems explore the in-between spaces of our lives-what we see but don't see, how we're shaped by the world's profligate, mysterious beauty, and unexpected humor. Taken from actual headlines...Roy has Heart Trouble, Trigger is Stuffed. Or from the instructions for an indoor/outdoor thermometer...A team of atomic physicists continually measures every second of every day. Inspired by the grocery store...Some drive their carts like chariots into battle. And by chickens at the night post office-inspiration for the title poem. Reflections on what we don't know about the people we love, the Sphinx on the East River, Hitchcock's magic, the exotic world of childhood, a vaudeville act in a New Orleans corner grocery. The moon. And, of course, Frank the Cat. The Night Post Office is a collection of over seventy poems about the small and enormous everyday mysteries that surround us.

Justin Fox, 15, is an excellent baseball player. He goes all out to be the best he can be. Otherwise, he's pretty average and the fact that he comes from a money-poor rural home seldom enters his mind. Near the end of this sophomore year his dog, Lucky, becomes very sick. Because of the vet's bill, he can't take his girlfriend (the beautiful, understanding Meagan) to the Spring Dance. Watch for the terrifying - yet wonderful - encounter with the grizzly bear. His best friend is Billy, a self-described 'p\spoiled brat'. Can he rally form his batting slump? What about Lucky? Will he take Meagan to the dance? Do rich brats really ever change? (JH, the primary author was fifteen when he wrote this story.)

Early in their senior year, the co-captains of a small town football team - Will and Matt, who have been bitter life-long enemies (quick to beat each other to a pulp) - are forced to cooperate as they work together to solve a mystery involving the team. Along with Will's girlfriend, Amanda, and Becky - Matt's long time best friend - they launch a fund raising campaign to purchase new athletic equipment the school cannot afford. When their funds fall short, some unlikely people pitch in to help. It is a story that examines changing relationships as the boys discover those things about life that are really most important. There is lots of action (black eyes and bruises acquired on the field and off), plenty of romance, and page after page of chuckles and smiles. (JH, the primary author was sixteen when he wrote this story.)

Originally published in 1927, this book presents a comprehensive study of the reproductive processes of the cow from the perspective of 'the relatively new subject of agricultural science'. The study provides accounts of the breeding season, the oestrous cycle, pregnancy and sterility, all incorporating detailed scientific analysis. Illustrative figures and a bibliography are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the development of agriculture and the history of science.
