The Mostly Invisible Boy (Casey Grimes)
★ Silver, Wishing Shelf Book Awards! ★ Bronze, Readers' Favorite International Awards Contest! This "wildly imaginative" (Book Pipeline) "splendid conception" (Kirkus) from upstart author AJ Vanderhorst celebrates the transformative power of courage, tenacity and a little skill with a battle-axe. Set in an alternate USA where monsters prowl, this debut novel is told from the perspective of mostly-invisible-but-still-hopeful Casey Grimes. Eleven-year-old Casey is stubbornly friendly, but he's eternally the new kid at Vintage Woods Middle School. Students look right through him-and they're not faking. Casey doesn't know why he's mostly-invisible, but when he scales a colossal oak, he disco...
Two Lives
This is a story of two lives based on historical research and facts. This is the eventful lives of Mijndert van der Horst (Miek) and Francisca Siffels. Miek fought in Spain as a member of the International Brigades against Franco. His combat experience came in the resistance with good stead: he committed attacks with Jan Bone Camp, Hanny Schaft, Jan Brasser and Gerrit Jan van der Veen, including the infamous raid on the Weteringschans prison. Because her husband had committed adultery with her sister, Francisca Siffels, she reported her husband to the headquarters of the SD in the Euterpestraat Amsterdam. The betrayal was not confined to Miek; all known Zaanse communists were named at the SD. Several of them were arrested and executed. Ton van der Horst (1954) is a curator of ship models at the National Maritime Museum. He has several books to his name, mostly on maritime historical subjects. Because of his personal involvement in the subject of the two lives-his grandfather was the brother of Miek, who was a Van der Horst-this story had to be written.

Hemolymph Proteins and Functional Peptides
Recent molecular studies have revealed an overwhelming role of hemolymph proteins and functional peptides in invertebrate physiology. This is mainly due to the large assortment of biomolecular factors each with a different structure and function. In addit
Ultrashort Laser Pulses in Biology and Medicine
Learn about the many biological and medical applications of ultrashort laser pulses. The authors highlight and explain how the briefness of these laser pulses permits the tracing of even the fastest processes in photo-active bio-systems. They also present a variety of applications that rely on the high peak intensity of ultrashort laser pulses. Easy-to-follow examples cover non-linear imaging techniques, optical tomography, and laser surgery.
The Messenger of the Lord in Early Jewish Interpretations of Genesis
The focus of this book is on early Jewish interpretations of the ambiguous relationship between God and ‛the angel of the Lord/God’ in texts like Genesis 16, 22 and 31. Genesis 32 is included since it exhibits the same ambiguity and constitutes an inseparable part of the Jacob saga. The study is set in the wider context of the development of angelology and concepts of God in various forms of early Judaism. When identifying patterns of interpretation in Jewish texts, their chronological setting is less important than the nature of the biblical source texts. For example, a common pattern is the avoidance of anthropomorphism. In Genesis ‛the angel of the Lord’ generally seems to be a ki...
