Using movies to explore faith and spirituality issues is in vogue today, but it’s difficult to find the time to show and discuss a full-length film in most adult or youth classes or groups.

Mraz provides an introduction, related Scripture passages, carefully selected film segments (with VCR counter num

Round things like pebbles and puddles and marbles and bubbles remind Little Goose of something, but he can’t remember what it is.

But Turtle’s round rock isn’t quite right, and neither are the flies that buzz ’round Frog’s head, nor Mouse’s round house, deep down in a hole.Only when he returns home does Little Goose remember what makes him feel cozy and comfy, and happy, too: that most special place within the soft circle of his ma

By ignoring gender issues, historians have failed to understand how efforts to control women--and women’s reactions to these efforts--have shaped political and social institutions and thus influenced the course of Russian and Soviet history. These original essays challenge a host of traditional assumptions by integrating women into the Russian past. Using recent advances in the study of gender, the family, class, and the status of women, the authors examine various roles of Russian women and offer a broad overview of a vibrant and growing field.

Variant Haemoglobins – A Guide to Identification is based on the premise that any single diagnostic technique offers only a very provisional identification of a variant haemoglobin.

This book covers 150 normal and variant haemoglobins that have been studied and carefully documented.Variant Haemoglobins has four introductory chapters followed by an invaluable atlas. The introductory chapters coverthe genetics
