FIRST TO CARE: 125 YEARS OF THE ORDER OF ST JOHN IN NEW ZEALAND, 1885-2010 brings to life the history of one of our most ubiquitous and vital charitable organisations. The heavily illustrated book provides a vivid account of public-spiritedness, enterprise and innovation by people involved in St John over the past 125 years, peppered with occasional disputes and setbacks along the way. St John invented and popularised 'first aid' as we know it. It provided medical assistance from the sidelines of our sports fields from as early as 1891 and it played a leading role in disaster relief from its formative days. From humble beginnings it established a nationwide ambulance service that today is the envy of the St John fraternity worldwide.
This book investigates the way in which the 'actualistic ontology' - i.e., the fact that God and human agents are beings-in-act in a covenant relationship - that underlies the Church Dogmatics of Karl Barth affects his conception of ethical agency. It analyses this effect along three paths of inquiry: knowing what is right (the noetic dimension), doing what is right (the ontic dimension), and achieving what is right (the telic dimension). The first section of the book explores the discipline of theological ethics as Barth construes it, both in its theoretical status and in its actual practice. In the second section, the ontological import of ethical agency for Barth is considered in relation...
Postgraduate Course 1997, Nantes, 3 to 7 July. In January 1997, John Libbey Eurotext first published this course organised by the European Association of Gastroenterology and Endoscopy (EAGE) for young doctors and researchers, and given by the leading European specialists in the field. As well as the annual course, EAGE also wanted to hold provincial courses with a high scientific content. This is the course given by Professors Galmiche and Gournay last July in Nantes. The aim of these lectures is to present the latest advances in basic and clinical research into gastroenterology and hepatology.
John Libbey Eurotext is continuing to publish the gastroenterology course organised in Europe by leading international experts. The July 1999 course will examine the latest progress in treating the inflammatory bowel disease and digestive endocrine tumours with which doctors are often confronted. The following aspects are discussed: Epidemiological and genetic aspects; The immunological basis of inflammatory bowel disease; Extra-intestinal symptoms; Types of treatment. Edited by Professor Galmiche, chairman of the EAGE, the book gathers together biological and clinical information in a synthetic form aimed especially at young practitioners throughout Europe.
This book provides a comprehensive update on the state of the art in cancer immunology, which has rapidly evolved from a field of clinical research into an established discipline of oncology. The key recent developments in immuno-oncology are all covered, from the ever-changing immunological and regulatory frameworks to the most promising therapeutic concepts. Themes include combination therapies and personalized medicine, as well as identification of biomarkers to guide the clinical development of new approaches and to pinpoint the optimal treatment for each patient. The book acknowledges the continuing dynamic nature of the field as reflected in the development of next-generation immunotherapies that are already in clinical testing. Cancer Immunotherapy Meets Oncology is dedicated to the lifetime achievements of Christoph Huber, founder and chair of the Association for Cancer Immunotherapy (CIMT). It is also a tribute to those researchers and clinicians who are striving to develop novel diagnostics and tailored immunotherapies for the benefit of cancer patients.

Admiration & Challenge explores the character of Karl Barth's theological relationship with John Calvin by analyzing Barth's use of Calvin's arguments in his theological construction, which is simultaneously «anti-modernist» and «modern.» The first part of this book is devoted to a theological and historical analysis of Barth's engagement with Calvin, while the second part includes a thematic analysis of Barth's use of Calvin in two major doctrines - the doctrine of the knowledge of God and the theme of law and gospel.
