Wonderful book from a new author!
I enjoy reading books from new authors, even though most are "rough" at best.This is one that really suprised me!

Michael Ball's first novel is expertly told.The story is intense and extremely professional.The characters are well developed and interesting, and the plot is presented in a very believeable manner.

This is probably the best book from a new author that I have ever read!If Ball isn't soon considered one of today's top authors, I will be very suprised!

You will not be disappointed with this one, I assure you!

Excellent Story!!
I picked up a copy of "Brothers Seven" at my local bookstore and am glad that I did!The story is extremely clever, with a huge amount of suspense!The characters are very interesting, and readers can understand their different points-of-view.
The story deals with greedy businesses and their upper management doing whatever they can to make a profit.The Brothers Seven take justice into their own hands to teach corporate America that there is more to life than profits.
I don't want to spoil the story for anyone, but it is an extremely satisfying and entertaining book!
I will be looking for more books from this author! ... Read more

Product Description
Hardbound. New legislation enacted in many countries and regions of the world during the 1980s requires that laboratory animal use be reduced, refined and replaced wherever possible, for ethical and scientific reasons, in line with the Three Rs concept put forward by W.M.S. Russell and R.L. Bnurch in 1958, in The Principles of Humane Experimental Technique. This Congress provided an opportunity for a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the publication of this book, and for a coming together of many of those who are actively pursuing the implementation of the Three Rs in the interests of good science and humane science. Current uses and future prospects for the use of laboratory animal procedures and non-animal methods in the biomedical sciences are considered in five themes: the development of replacement alternative methods; the validation and regulatory acceptance of alternative test methods; reduction alternatives and the testi ...

Product Description
Michael Ball's book is an illuminating study of the parables in the New Testament. Parables contain within them the pattern of human nature and the pattern of God's response, containing, says the author, both beauty and risk. This is a risk which involves thinking about the impossible as far as our own behaviour is concerned. For example, the casting out of the precious son from the vineyard in St Matthew is not a violent affair. We drive him out with our indifference, with carelessness, with protective routines and with ugliness. Out of such simple ideas, Michael Ball has constructed a spiritual theology of genuine originality. In this the idea of risk is central. God's risk of creation and its purpose. God has risked His plans and He has risked his own being in His Son. Fundamental to risky thinking in the Bible is the sacrifice of the most precious. Other examples of risk examined by the author are Abraham leaving his home and his lands for the unknown. ... Read more
