VG orig. red cloth in price-clipped azure dj. Endpapers toned. xv, 344 p.; 21.5 cm. `In a previous chapter, it was stated that the first Testimony Book of which we have any certain information was that compiled by Melito somewhere about 175. If by `Testimony Book' we mean a collection of testimonia arranged in chapters like those in Cyprian's Testimonia, this is a correct statement; but if we use the term in a wider sense, referring to the character of the book rather than to the form, it must be modified. The earliest book of the testimony type of which we have any direct knowledge is the Dialogue of Jason and Papiscus, in its original form the proto-type of many other apologetical works of this kind. The dialogues are one of the most interesting of the by-ways of patristic literature, and contain a very considerable amount of primitive material.' (p. 241). Binding is Hardcover.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - GIFT is a beautiful book of positive thinking made up of prose and verse which can produce an altered state of consciousness. One of intense believing. A happy place. A place of great inspiration and fearless freedom. At age 25 he wanted to inspire people and God hearing his desire took him on a 40 year journey to teach him all those lessons, this great motivator needed to know. At the beginning of his journey he experienced madness, when he was shoeless,freezing,starving,terrified and sleeping in a cardboard box behind some shops somewhere in South Australia. Slowly bit by bit God restored him and taught him to understand his fellowman. Gift was written because of a dream in which Paul Hunt the author had his uncle appear to him, urging him to write a book. Eventually he did and he says it was God that taught him how to write. Now at age 69 he has completed the mission he started over 40 years ago. It will move you.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Photopigments are molecules that react to light and mediate a number of processes and behaviours in animals. Visual pigments housed within the photoreceptors of the eye, such as the rods and cones in vertebrates are the best known, however, visual pigments are increasingly being found in other tissues, including other retinal cells, the skin and the brain. Other closely related molecules from the G protein family, such as melanopsin mediate light driven processes including circadian rhythmicity and pupil constriction. This Volume examines the enormous diversity of visual pigments and traces the evolution of these G protein coupled receptors in both invertebrates and vertebrates in the context of the visual and non-visual demands dictated by a species' ecological niche.
