Written by an international team of ophthalmic practitioners, this authoritative book is a vital resource not only for ophthalmic professionals, but for any healthcare professional who cares for patients with eye problems. In the ten years since the first edition was published, practice has moved on, as has the evidence for practice.

Mythalyria is under Outcast siege, with modern weapons brought out of the past. Surviving members of the League of Two Hundred are imprisoned behind it's granite walls. President Webster has gone insane, obsessed with his own immortality. Secretly he plans to eliminate all competition for the power he now holds. Can Jack, Ayvee, and Jason free the League, before their deranged leader opens the Citadel's doors to the host of Blood Drinkers? Or before the City is destroyed, by renegades from their own ranks?
In the World, But Not of the World explores the threefold tension among Alasdair MacIntyre's prognosis for Western society; the desires of some for a social transformation with a Christian moral vision at the sacred centre; and a "baptist" understanding of Christianity as essentially voluntary, non-sacralist discipleship. Andrew Fitz-Gibbon uses five contemporary Christian social thinkers, from different traditions, as conversation partners. Through his examination of these thinkers, Fitz-Gibbon explores how the church may continue to truthfully narrate the Christian story in the midst of the moral tensions of late-capitalist Western society. His creative conclusion is that the church at the beginning of the twenty-first century can move toward a resolution of the central tension of "being in the world, but not of the world" through a synthesis of the believers' church tradition and an affirmation of communitarian liberal democracy.
