Ground-breaking reference explaining the biological properties of nerve cell membranes from a unifying physical perspective Without neglecting the known theories…
of nerve impulse propagation, Physics of Nerves and Excitatory Membranes focuses on the less known features of nerve cell membranes, such as their mechanical, caloric and optical properties. Based on these properties, the author then develops an electromechanical theory of pulse propagation, offering the most plausible explanation yet for some unresolved questions regarding the effects observed during general anesthesia. Physics of Nerves and Excitatory Membranes is didactically written and includes information on: The structure and electrical properties of nerves, dimensions and mechanical properties of the nerve pulse, and optical changes during the action potential Cable theory, voltage gating, the Hodgkin-Huxley model, and protein ion channels Membrane structure and melting, phase behavior, domains, and rafts, and the influence of pressure, voltage, drugs, proteins, pH, and ionic strength Heat capacity, sound propagation, relaxation timescales, and capacitance and capacitive susceptibility The emergence of solitary nerve pulses in a biological membrane under physiological conditions Voltage-gated and mechanosensitive lipid channels, temperature sensing, and selectivity of lipid channels Physics of Nerves and Excitatory Membranes is of prime interest for biophysicists studying biomembranes as well as for neurobiologists and clinical researchers studying anesthesia. Its accessible style makes it very well suited for teaching the subjects that it covers.

This note surveys the international governance of global business from the nineteenth century until the present day, emphasizing and explaining…
its fragmented nature. In the nineteenth century a core principle of international law was that the property of foreigners could not be taken without full compensation. The expropriation of foreign direct investment by the Soviet Union in 1917, shattered existing international property law, and there was no consensus on a replacement. After World War II an International Trade Organization was envisaged alongside the IMF and the World Bank as the third leg of the Bretton Woods agreement, but the U.S. Congress refused to ratify the ITO Treaty. Various attempts by the United Nations and other bodies to create codes of conduct for multinationals failed due to divergent beliefs and policies between the West and developing countries. After 1979 there was a general relaxation of national controls over multinationals, while international agencies such as the World Bank and the IMF experienced a loss of legitimacy. The note goes on to discuss multilateral and bilateral investment treaties, the impact of the global financial crisis on tightening financial regulations, international governance on the natural environment and human rights, and the impact of digitalization on global regulation.

'For all those who have understood that doubt and free thinking are failings of your faith, Brian's book will help…
you live fuller and breathe easier.' Glennon DoyleSixty-five million adults in the US have dropped out of active church attendance and about 2.7 million more are leaving every year. In the UK, surveys indicate that religious belief is also declining - and yet a surprising number of people still pray. Faith After Doubt is for all those who feel that their faith is falling apart.Using his own story and the stories of a diverse group of struggling believers, Brian D. McLaren, a former pastor and now an author, speaker, and activist shows how old assumptions are being challenged in nearly every area of human life, not just theology and spirituality. He proposes a four-stage model of faith development in which questions and doubt are not the enemy of faith, but rather a portal to a more mature and fruitful kind of faith. The four stages - simplicity, complexity, perplexity and harmony - offer a path forward that can help sincere and thoughtful people leave behind unnecessary baggage and increase their commitment to what matters most.'In this important book, my friend and colleague Brian McLaren helps you find a deeper and wiser faith that is enriched by doubt instead of threatened by it.' Fr Richard Rohr

a Beverly Hills playboy—but as it spirals into a nightmare, he finds himself in a fight for his life. Inspiration for the #1 Netflix series The Lincoln Lawyer. Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers—they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence, it's about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it's even about justice. A Beverly Hills playboy arrested for attacking a woman he picked up in a bar chooses Haller to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years. It is a defense attorney's dream, what they call a franchise case. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career.

To escape without being burned, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal—this time to save his own life.

They Will Go is a story for our time, told with sometimes brutal emotional honesty and always with compassion."óJennifer Haupt, author of In the Shadow of 10,000 HillsSet in rural Oklahoma, Into Captivity They Will Go tells the story of Caleb Gunter, a boy whose mother has convinced him he is the second coming of Jesus Christ and that together they are destined to lead the chosen into the Kingdom of Heaven.Believing the Seven Seals detailed in Revelation have been opened, he and his mother flee their home to join a tongue-speaking evangelical church and to prepare for the end of the world, but after tragedy ensues, Caleb must rebuild his life without the only support he has ever knownóhis mother and the church.An exploration of familial bonds and extremist faith, Into Captivity They Will Go is a whirlwind bildungsroman that reveals the fragility of a child's identity. It is at once a study of guilt and redemption, and a book of how shattered trust can yet still lay the foundation for an entire life."Into Captivity They Will Go is an immersive novel, capturing Calebís mindset in a way that is believable and heart-wrenching. Its visceral events grapple with topics of abuse, blind faith, and moral gray areas. As a microcosm of an apocalyptic present, Milliganís clear understanding of Revelation provides a theological framework for his narrative that is compelling and terrifying." óHolly Jordan, Foreword Reviews"[I]t is an intense and propulsive novel exploring what it means to be alive and spiritual in a world ignoring such ideas. I loved its rich imagery, its crystal-clear prose, and its strangeness." óBrandon Hobson, National Book Award Finalist and author of Where the Dead Sit Talking"In a story like this, about Christian extremism in modern rural America, it'd be easy to go into ironic dark parody or grim horror, but Milligan skirts both of those and shows all the people involved as humans instead." óMolly Ringle, author of Lava Red, Feather BlueNoah Milligan's Into Captivity They Will Go is a spectacular next read: it combines the deft characterizations of Ann Patchett with the imaginative stylings of Anthony Doerr, but sets them in the dry landscapes of Tony Hillerman. Make it your book club pick: everyone will be talking about it for weeks to come.Noah Milligan's other books:Five Hundred PoorAn Elegant Theory
