The Meaning of the Earth describes an almost unknown revolution that took place in London the 1970s. A revolution where a bloody power struggle raged for many years before its decisive battle ended with a tremendous sacrifice. But no lives were lost in this revolution, just as it was unmarked by rebellious pathos and public calls to violence. Nor did it intervene in contemporary society. Instead it toppled a regime internalised in western individuals. It led to the death of the decrepit and irretrievably dialectically animated spirit that had set the historical revolutions in motion, inspired them and drove them on. It ended too the Christian-influenced and increasingly secular salvation history, and opened a new evolutionary chapter. Its two revolutionaries, Gilbert & George, emerge not unscathed but nonetheless victorious from this inner power struggle. Wolf Jahn's text tells of their world revolution of the soul in the twentieth century and its fruitful results in the form of a new creation and anthropogenesis.
Engaged, W.S. Gilbert’s most popular stage work after the comic operas he produced in collaboration with Arthur Sullivan, is a farcical comedy that has long lived in the literary shadows – although wildly neglected today, the play influenced literary names as great as George Bernard Shaw, and directly inspired Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. Centring on a rich young man’s search for a wife and his uncle and best friend’s attempts to hinder him, the play toys with conventional notions of love and sincerity. In this edition, which also contains notes and an essay by the undisputed authority on W.S. Gilbert, Andrew Crowther, Engaged deserves to step out into the spotlight once more. 'The laughter was almost incessant.' The New York Times 'The satirical comedy of Mr Gilbert has all the sting, smack and strength of neat brandy… a sudden gulp of it is apt to take one’s breath away.' The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News
You've heard of the Rescue Rangers. Now meet the Mouse Watch. Six months after being recruited to the Mouse Watch, brave mouse Bernie and shy rat Jarvis are now officially Level One agents and are getting along like cheese and crackers! They've already completed their first successful mission, and now it's now back to basic training with the goal of moving up the ranks in the Mouse Watch. But more pressing matters are at hand (or rather, at paw). A mysterious radio transmission reveals that the S.S. Moon, a long-lost spy vessel, may still lie hidden under the sea. Legend has it that on board the ship is an energy source called the Milk Saucer that could save-or destroy-the planet. The Mouse Watch must get to it before it falls into the claws of their evil nemesis, R.A.T.S!
A masterpiece of the genre in which Inspector Hazlerigg must unravel a gruesome murder at the heart of the double-crossing, high-stakes microcosm of a London law firm.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a global concern for which there is no cure. This special issue of Cells Tissues Organs presents possible engineering approaches to circumvent various aspects of SCI. It presents topics related to bioelectric medicine and ultrasound as well as their potential ability to interface with or regenerate neural tissue. Additionally, several biomaterial-related issues are presented, including hydrogel selection with a special emphasis on swelling and intraspinal pressure, the use of nanoparticle technology in the spinal cord, and fibrous materials for neural stem cell implantation and drug delivery. Two ground-breaking articles highlight the importance of considering oligodendrocyte response in engineering approaches and modulation of the inflammatory response following SCI. Engineering Approaches to Spinal Cord Injuries is of special interest to clinicians who wish to translate up-and-coming research areas to the clinic, basic researchers collaborating with engineers, and the engineers themselves. The reader will become aware of promising approaches that may in the future become vital to the treatment of SCI.
