    This is the fifth book in the George Melville Mystery series and as such sees our eponymous hero Melville embark on yet another mission for SIS (MI6). This further exciting adventure sees the team working independently, and then together as they join together in the new world via Haiti or the Queen Mary to face their biggest challenge in America, where they are faced with not only the evil of ancient Voodoo magic, but the American government itself as the plot against the president embroils them into an FBI/Secret Service civil war which has the power to bring American and British relationships to a new low just before the outbreak of World War 2, and conceivably pave the way towards America becoming a Nazi stooge. The team will encounter new and powerful dangers as they search for ways to rescue the president, and they will even risk their own government disowning them and an international incident at sea as we see them embark once again on, A George Melville Mystery.

    This highly original collection of 47 lyrical and narrative poems is written around two themes - unknowingness and transcendence. It begins with the short poem "Prelude," which describes a universe where all is in motion and of humans "knowing neither where we journey/ nor why/ but looking to the arc of the sun/ and grateful for its rising." The final poem is "the Dante Tattoo" which concludes with the transcendent -- "this unexpected glimpse/ from Dante's more perfect and far-seeing vista." It includes powerful and moving poems, as well as surprising lyrical pieces about nothing more than the happiness of being alive.

  • - A friendly guide to coding, no experience required

    Getting started with programming can be an intimidating challenge. Most books and tutorials assume lots of previous knowledge, skip over jargon and new concepts, and use examples that only make sense if you already understand programming. This book is different. It gives you an introduction to programming in Python from the ground up, starting with tips on installation and setting up your programming environment, and moving through the core parts of the Python language in a logical order. Dr. Jones has drawn on his many years experience teaching programming to produce a book that will guide you through the language step by step in simple terms. The book doesn't assume any previous knowledge, and introduces fundamental programming concepts like variables, loops and functions using simple terms and easy-to-follow examples that you can run and modify. The book takes a unique approach to practical exercises. Rather than simply presenting you with the solutions, it shows you how large, complex programs are gradually built up from simple building blocks, explaining the role of every line. You can download the examples and exercise solutions - edit, modify and run them yourself. What you'll learn from this book: How to install Python and set up your programming environment How to work with strings, numbers and variables How to understand and fix error messages How to read and write data in files How to processing large amounts of data with lists and loops How to write useful and reliable functions How to controlling the flow of your programs with conditions How to store data in dicts for lightning-fast processing How to find useful modules and figure out how to use them Praise for Dr. Jones' previous books "I actually have this book to thank for easing me into programming which is now something I do everyday as part of my profession." "The most useful guide to Python I've found" "Exceedingly clear and rife with examples. The author talks about a rather dull subject ... in a clear and informative manner." About the author Dr. Jones trained as a biologist and started his programming career by learning Perl. He started teaching programming to other people shortly after that, and quickly branched out into other languages including Python. Since then he has taught programming to hundreds of beginners, specializing in courses for people without a traditional computer science background. His teaching philosophy is that programming courses must be friendly, approachable, and focussed on practical results. Dr. Jones currently teaches programming in his position of Lecturer in Bioinformatics at Edinburgh University. He is the author of two previous programming books: Python for Biologists and Advanced Python for Biologists. This is his first programming book for a general audience.

    Learning to program is one of the best investments that you can make for your research and your career. Python for biologists is a complete programming course for beginners that will give you the skills you need to tackle common biological and bioinformatics problems. Why learn programming? Maybe you see colleagues writing programs to save time and deal with large datasets. Maybe your supervisor has told you that you need to learn programming for your next project. Maybe you've been looking at job ads and noticed just how many of them are asking for programming skills. Table of contents In chapter one, you'll learn why Python is a good choice for biologists and beginners alike. You'll also learn how to install Python for your operating system and how to set up your programming environment, complete with links to all the free software you'll need. In chapter two, you'll learn how to manipulate text (including DNA and protein sequences) and how to fix errors in your programs. Exercises: calculating AT content, splicing introns. In chapter three, you'll learn how to read and write data to and from files. You'll also learn how to deal with file paths and the FASTA file format.Exercises: splitting genomic DNA, writing a FASTA file. In chapter four, you'll learn how to process many pieces of data in a single program and more advanced tools for sequence manipulation. Exercises: trimming adapter sequences, concatenating exons. In chapter five, you'll learn how to make Python even more useful by creating your own functions, including the best ways to test those functions in order to speed up development. Exercises: Analyzing the amino acid composition of protein sequences. In chapter six, you'll learn how to write programs that can make smart decisions about how to handle data and how to make your programs follow complex rules. Exercises: filtering genes based on multiple criteria. In chapter seven, you'll learn an incredibly powerful tool for working with patterns in text - regular expressions - and how to use it to search in DNA and protein sequences. Exercises: filtering accession names and calculating restriction fragment sizes. In chapter eight, you'll learn how to store huge amounts of data in a way that can still allows it to be retrived very efficiently. This allows simplification of much of the code from previous chapters. Exercises: translating DNA sequences to protein. In chapter nine, you'll learn how to make your Python programs work in harmony with existing tools, and how to polish up your programs so that they're ready for other people to use. Exercises: counting k-mers, binning DNA sequences by length. About the author Dr. Martin Jones has been teaching biologists to write software for over five years and has taught everyone from postgraduates to PIs. He is currently Lecturer in Bioinformatics at Edinburgh University.

    This is the third book in the George Melville Mystery series and as such sees our eponymous hero Melville, now a fully-fledged operative working for SIS (MI6) embark on his first full mission under the guidance and not so careful eye of hapless spy and team leader, Mad Dog. Once again the story embraces the murky world of pre-second world war espionage, and moves from underneath a quaint church in Ely, to the Greek islands, to Paris, Rome and Palestine, and sees Melville, having been made team leader, face a stark choice of supporting his team and his country, or ensuring his beloved wife and child are kept alive. From the chaotic violence of pre-war Palestine, to the cold-hearted world of espionage and double agents, the team once again face adventure and dangers as they search for the Emerald Tablet, and encounter once again, A George Melville Mystery.

    Python is rapidly becoming the standard language for many talks in scientific research, and is particularly popular in biology and bioinformatics. One of the great strengths of Python is the ecosystem of tools and libraries that have grown up around it. This book introduces the novice biologist programmer to tools and techniques that make developing Python code easier and faster and will help you to write more reliable, performant programs. Written by a biologist, it focusses on solving the problems that students and researchers encounter every day: How do I make my program run faster? How can I be sure that my results are correct? How do I share this program with my colleagues? How can I speed up the process of writing my code? Chapters include: Environments for development - learn how you can take advantage of different tools for actually writing code, including those designed specifically for scientific work. Organising and sharing code - learn how Python's module and packaging system works, how to effectively reuse code across multiple projects, and how to share your programs with colleagues and the wider world. Testing - learn how automated testing can make your code more reliable, how to catch bugs before they impact your work, and how to edit code with confidence. Performance - learn how to make your code run quickly even on large datasets, how to understand the scaling behaviour of your code, and explore the trade offs involved in designing code. User interfaces - learn how to make your code more user friendly, how to design effective interfaces, and how to automate record-keeping with Python's logging system. About the author Martin started his programming career by learning Perl during the course of his PhD in evolutionary biology, and started teaching other people to program soon after. Since then he has taught introductory programming to hundreds of biologists, from undergraduates to PIs, and has maintained a philosophy that programming courses must be friendly, approachable, and practical. In his academic career, Martin mixed research and teaching at the University of Edinburgh, culminating in a two year stint as Lecturer in Bioinformatics. He now runs programming courses for biological researchers as a full time freelancer. Praise for Martin's previous books "Great, great book. I think this is the perfect book for any biologist to who wants to start learning to code with Python... I didn't know a command-line from a hole in the ground when I first opened up this book, and mere days later I was impressing my colleagues with my own DNA analysis programs." "Zero to writing useful programs in a weekend... Python for Biologists arrived last Thursday, 6/16/16, I spent the whole weekend glued to my laptop in a 2 1/2 day frenzy of coding, and I just finished it -- and came on Amazon to order the next one!" "One of the BEST coding books I've used in a long time. Direct applications in bioinformatics. I bought the advanced python book too." "The most useful guide to Python I've found...I've tried a few Python books, and this is by far the best for me."

    This is the sixth and final book in the series, and sees our intrepid hero now leading his own team as part of the famous Section D in British Secret Intelligence, leading them behind enemy lines to occupied Norway and France, in two daring exploits under impossible circumstances. But although the war was still raging, far more important and dangerous events overtake them as they face their final and most challenging mission as the Hand of Destiny. Their mission is simple, to save the world from nuclear annihilation, and becoming the slaves of Hell under the extremely evil rule of Baal. To defeat him, and his dreadful criminal organisation, The Bengal Quince Corporation, they will have to overcome significant challenges; including time itself. With more twists and turns than ever before, we see the team unite after their near-death experiences in the war in Europe, taken to the sheer opulence of the Vatican, and embroiled in a battle to save the best of them against a cruel and powerful attack from Baal. The trail will take them across Europe, Tibet, India, Russia and America; and even into Limbo itself to face the monster Baal. The denouement sees them decades later, with just minutes to spare facing the surreal moment just before World War Three, being the Cuban Missile Crisis. The question is though, can they actually save mankind; and who are the Pathfinder and Seymour? For the final time for this series, we see our eponymous heroes embark for the dramatic conclusion of, A George Melville Mystery.

    A.F. Atkinson's first and exploratory visit to Palestine - as it was then - came when he was in his early 40s and just a few months before the Second World War started. The 'diary' he kept from that date - in the form of bi-monthly letters back home to churches that were published faithfully in Intelligence magazine - form a remarkable historical record of one man's passion to spread the gospel in general, but in particular to the Jewish people that he loved with the love of Christ.This book, which includes all the letters as well as his own testimony, has been published to be much more than just an interesting archival account, but a help and an encouragement to all who read it who feel a call from the Lord to do His work in whatever field that may be.As it was for A.F. Atkinson, it may be a lonely work, it may be a costly work, it may be a challenging work which even seems to bear relatively little fruit this side of heaven, but the call remains loud and clear nevertheless: "Go, labor on; spend, and be spent; Thy joy to do the Father's will; It is the way the Master went; Should not the servant tread it still?" (Horatio Bonar)."

    This collection includes three full-length plays, WEST MEMPHIS MOJO, SQUATS, and DARK RIVER, and one short play, OLD SOLIDERS. WEST MEMPHIS MOJO: Set in a black barbershop in Arkansas, 1955, WEST MEMPHIS MOJO sings the unsung heroes of the blues tradition. A young songwriter, working as a shoeshine boy, collaborates with the shop owner and a small-time recording artist to create new blues tunes. Amidst racial tensions and the politics of the white-owned music industry, this play explodes with the conflicts surrounding each character's pursuit of the American dream. SQUATS: A diverse group of homeless people, from a pregnant teenager to a thirty-year-old mental patient to a street musician in his forties, struggle to survive. DARK RIVER: Explores what happens when a family business has unintentionally poisoned their town. OLD SOLIDERS: It is Armistice Day, 1962. Three veterans of the World Wars exchange army stories, lament the vagaries of age, and wait for the arrival of Harry, their old army buddy. OLD SOLDIERS is about friendship, loyalty, and the very personal realities of war. WEST MEMPHIS MOJO "WEST MEMPHIS MOJO ... written with skill and wit by Martin Jones, is set in a barbershop in West Memphis, Arkansas, in November, 1955, when rock and roll was starting to take off - when, that is, white record companies and other entrepreneurs were making forays into rhythm and blues ... The story is a simple one, though none the less powerful for that ... What matters most of all, of course, is the absolute authenticity of character and emotion. Mr Jones is a very good writer ..." -Edith Oliver, The New Yorker SQUATS "... SQUATS portrays what it is to be young and human in a world defined by poverty, homelessness, mental illness, prostitution, domestic abuse, arson, alcoholism, suicide, teen-age pregnancy and AIDS. But SQUATS is neither preachy nor overdone. It doesn't take on a shopping list of societal ills. Rather, they are the landscape for the characters. Problems intertwine and contribute to each other. Though this landscape is bleak, the plot and the quirky characters are not ... It is written with insight and compassion." -Barbara Bartels, The Times Record DARK RIVER "... DARK RIVER concerns a failing family business that has inadvertently poisoned the waters ... DARK RIVER is an environmental Crime and Punishment ... Yet DARK RIVER transcends mere allegory. Jones uses pollution as a metaphor for the sins of the fathers ..." -W D Cutlip, Casco Bay Weekly

    'This book is a remarkable and often inspirational tour de force. Martin Jones confidently moves between theories of political economy and stories of regional and urban policy, using each to inform the other. He brings the uneven geographies of England to life, showing how they are reproduced in practice, while also offering the prospect of alternative futures.'- Allan Cochrane, The Open University, UK Offering a geographical political economy analysis, this book explores the mechanisms, institutions, and spaces of subnational economic development. Martin Jones innovatively examines how policy-makers frame problems and offer intervention solutions in different cities and regions.Drawing on different approaches to state intervention, neoliberalism, crisis and contradiction theories, and notions of depoliticisation, this book explains policy failure and how it is impacted by flux surrounding economic development. With constant changes to legislation, institutional initiatives, and ministerial responsibility, local and regional economic development is shown to be at a critical crossroads.Theoretically innovative and empirically focused, this timely book is a must-read for researchers and policy-makers of urban geography, regional development, political economy and public policy.

  • - A Practical Guide for Those Involved in Leading Worship
    af Martin Jones
    93,95 kr.

    It is both an honour and a privilege to be called to lead others in worship of God but so often this call is accompanied by feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and even fear. This handbook deals honestly with these issues and reflects on some Biblical characters who had similar reservations when they received God's call to service.It's a book for worshippers and for those who lead worship. It seeks to offer some practical advice and guidance to both worship leaders and worship teams to help and encourage in areas such as: planning and leading the worship time; facilitating Spirit-led worship that flows; recognising hindrances to worshipping freely; knowing what, when and if you should speak during the worship time; leading worship in small groups; rehearsals. Above all I hope that it will help release you into greater depths of freedom and intimacy, and better equip those of you who lead others in worship as you respond to God's call and invitation to worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
