Rich, spoiled little Sing Lo demands to see the most fabulous sight Peking has to offer — the immense Imperial Elephant. Since the old Emperor died the elephant hasn’t slept a wink, and Sing Lo is sure he can cure the animal’s insomnia. He showers the elephant with tempting gifts — sweet buns, a soothing drink, a silk pillow — yet the elephant still can’t sleep, and Sing Lo has nothing more to give. Or does he? This lovely story is enhanced by Jude Daly’s gorgeous, richly hued illustrations, which evoke the splendor of Imperial China.

"If ever there was need and opportunity for Christians to shape culture, it is now," write Charles W. Colson and Nigel M. de S. Cameron. The contributors to "Human Dignity in the Biotech Century" make the case that biotechnology is the next front in the battles over ethics and public policy, and Christians need to bring their influence to bear on the debates. These twelve essays, contributed by scholars and leaders who are part of Colson’s Wilberforce Forum, alert readers to the ethical and legal challenges we face in the new genetics, involving embryo research, stem cell research, clonin

In recent years a growing number of proteases have been identified that catalyse peptide bond hydrolysis in the plane of the cellular membrane. These so-called intramembrane-cleaving proteases (I-CLiPs) are involved in a diverse range of cellular processes, including cell regulation, signalling, quorum sensing, protein processing, lipid metabolism and the unfolded protein response. Some I-CLiPs play critical roles in diseases such as Alzheimer s and viral infection. The authors, who are all world leaders in this exciting field of cell biology, provide an overview of the various proteases inc
