Venedig, 1741. Der berühmte Komponist Antonio Vivaldi legt seine letzte Beichte ab. Und sie ist von großem Interesse für die Mächtigen in Staat und Kirche. Fast drei Jahrhunderte später verfolgt der junge Violinist Lucio Torres die Spuren der geheimnisumwobenen letzten Partitur des großen Komponisten. Doch die rätselhaften Dokumente, die er in alten Archiven findet, bergen gefährliche Geheimnisse, für die sich bald auch die skrupellose Bruderschaft der „Fraternitas Charitatis“ interessiert.

One night, young Tom is awoken by noises outside his house. He peeps out of the window and what should he see but pirates. And stranger still - they're girl pirates stealing the front of his house! Tom joins their pirate adventure across the high seas to an island where some rather lazy and silly grown-up pirates are guarding their treasure.

The food technologist who wishes to produce a gelled product is faced with two basic options for achieving the desired effect; whether to use a protein or a polysaccharide. Although a gel can be formed by either a protein or a polysaccharide, the resultant gels have different Polysaccharide gels are characterised by their fine texture and transparency which is achieved at a low polymer concentration. They can be formed by heating and cooling, pH adjustment or specific ion addition . Protein gels are characterised by a higher polymer concentration (5-10%) and are formed almost exclusively by heat denaturation. Before reaching a final decision, the technologist must take a number of factors into consideration. The purpose of this book is to help the technologist in his choice by providing fundamental practical information, in one book, on the properties of gels (and factors which influence them) for both types of biopolymer. To help the reader, each chapter is (wherever possible) organised in the same way so that, for example, information on structure will always be available in section 2. The examples in the Applications section of each chapter are not meant to be exhaustive, but to illustrate the various ways in which the particular polymer can be used to form a gelled product.

"This book will help undergraduate psychology students to write practical reports of experimental and other quantitative studies in psychology. It is designed to help with every stage of the report writing process including what to put in each section and recommendations for formatting and style. It also discusses how to design a study, including how to use and report relevant statistics. As such, the book acts both as an introduction and reference source to be used throughout an undergraduate course."--Jacket.

The book examines the entrenched belief in military dominance as a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy, despite growing public support for reduced overseas involvement. It argues that this perspective is rooted in the domestic political landscape shaped during World War II and the Cold War. The author, Peter Harris, contends that for the U.S. to adopt a more balanced global role, significant domestic reforms and a shift in strategy towards restraint are essential. The text outlines potential changes necessary for this transformation and how they can be achieved.

Addressing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Peter Harris explores whether Christians can maintain their belief in an all-good, all-powerful God amidst suffering.

Through philosophical discussions, he emphasizes the importance of free will in understanding pain and offers a pastoral perspective on grief, presenting a hopeful view of God's response to human suffering. This book invites deep reflection on faith during challenging times.
