Teeth and Talons Whetted for Slaughter
Is a life cycle that depends on eating or being eaten compatible with a creation in which 'the heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims His handiwork'? Are animal death and extinction manifestations of a good God's majesty and power? When creating the world, did God use animal death and extinction as a means to realize his intentions? This study challenges the view that the emergence and acceptance of the theory of evolution brought a break in thinking about animal suffering in a good creation. Even before Darwin, people thought about animal suffering, about how God's goodness and good creation related to this, and about whether animals were already subject to death in paradise. Historically, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution did not form a watershed in the debate about animal suffering, nor did concerns about animal suffering only emerge with the Darwinian theory of evolution.
Biochemical Regulation of Myocardium
This special issue of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry contains original research papers as well as invited reviews dedi cated, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the inauguration of the Heart Research Group in Berlin-Buch that today forms a part there of the Max Delbriick Center for Molecular Medicine, to Professor Albert Wollenberger, founder of the Heart Research Group and for 21 years its head. The papers in this issue are written by researchers working in the field of cardiovascular research who together with Albert Wollenberger share the belief that an integrative application of advances in molecular and cellular biology will lead to new concepts for treatment and prevention...
Toxicology of the Nose and Upper Airways
The application of molecular biologic methods, recognition of neurogenic inflammatory processes, and utilization of genetic knockout animals are just some of the advances in toxicology of the upper airways in recent years. Toxicology of the Nose and Upper Airways presents a culmination of knowledge gained as a result of both human and experimental
Defending Sin
The conflict between the natural sciences and Christian theology has been going on for centuries. Recent advances in the fields of evolutionary biology, behavioral genetics, and neuroscience have intensified this conflict, particularly in relation to origins, the fall, and sin. These debates are crucial to our understanding of human sinfulness and necessarily involve the doctrine of salvation. Theistic evolutionists have labored hard to resolve these tensions between science and faith, but Hans Madueme argues that the majority of their proposals do injustice both to biblical teaching and to long-standing doctrines held by the mainstream Christian tradition. In this major contribution to the field of science and religion, Madueme demonstrates that the classical notion of sin reflected in Scripture, the creeds, and tradition offers the most compelling and theologically coherent account of the human condition. He answers pressing challenges from the physical sciences on both methodological and substantive levels. Scholars, pastors, students, and interested lay readers will profit from interacting with the arguments presented here.
Monotheism and the Suffering of Animals in Nature
This Element concerns itself with a particular aspect of the problem posed to monotheistic religious thought by suffering, namely the suffering of non-human creatures in nature. It makes some comparisons between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and then explores the problem in depth within Christian thought. After clarification of the nature of the problem, the Element considers a range of possible responses, including those based on a fall-event, those based on freedom of process, and those hypothesising a constraint on the possibilities for God as creator. Proposals based on the motif of self-emptying are evaluated. Two other aspects of the question concern God's providential relationship to the evolving creation, and the possibility of resurrection lives for animals. After consideration of the possibility of combining different explanations, the Element ends its discussion by looking at two innovative proposals at the cutting-edge of the debate.
The Truth in Small Doses
A decade ago Leaf, a cancer survivor himself, began to investigate why we had made such limited progress fighting this terrifying disease. The result is a gripping narrative that reveals why the public's immense investment in research has been badly misspent, why scientists seldom collaborate and share their data, why new drugs are so expensive yet routinely fail, and why our best hope for progress-- brilliant young scientists-- are now abandoning the search for a cure.
Pathology of the Head and Neck
This book provides a comprehensive description of the pathology of the head and neck region, concentrating especially on those pathologic entities that are unique to or characteristic of the head and neck. The new edition retains the ten chapters of the first edition, all updated and improved, and additionally contains seven entirely new chapters and a more detailed subject index. The number of illustrations has been substantially increased, and various lesions absent in the original edition have been included. Throughout, attention is paid to correlation of pathology with epidemiology, clinical features, pathogenesis, and molecular genetics. Differential diagnosis is addressed, and information is also provided on staging, prognosis, and therapy. The authors include foremost experts in the field, some of whom are senior members of the Working Group on Head and Neck Pathology of the European Society of Pathology.
Over honderd ziekten
Dit boek biedt spannende en vaak verrassende inzichten in honderd verschillende ziekten die zich in de voorbije honderd jaar hebben voorgedaan. De tijdsspanne waarop de auteurs zich richten loopt van 1923, toen de Katholieke Universiteit te Nijmegen, thans Radboud Universiteit, werd gesticht tot 2023, het jaar waarin de universiteit haar eeuwfeest viert. Elke beschreven ziekte heeft een eigen plaats binnen deze eeuw, die om wetenschappelijke en/of maatschappelijke en historische redenen is toebedeeld. Zo laat dit boek zich lezen als een reeks beschrijvingen van in de tijd geplaatste degeneratieve afwijkingen, ontstekingen, infecties, kwaadaardige gezwellen, immunologische ziekten, ontwikkeli...
En de aarde bracht voort
Dit boek helpt christenen ontdekken of en hoe orthodox geloven en evolutie kunnen samengaan. Stel dat de standaard-evolutietheorie klopt. Wat betekent dat dan voor het christelijk geloof? Voor mijn geloof? In dit boek onderzoekt dr. Gijsbert van den Brink de mogelijke gevolgen van acceptatie van de evolutietheorie voor vragen als: Hoe kijken we naar de Bijbel? Hoe zit het met lijden en dood, met Adam en Eva, met de zondeval - en hoe is de mens dan beeld van God? Sluiten bovendien toevallige mutaties de voorzienigheid van God niet uit? Van den Brink wil christenen met dit boek helpen ontdekken of en hoe orthodox geloven en evolutie kunnen samengaan.
