This edited and abridged version deals principally with Douglas's second expedition to what are now the States of Oregon and Washington and the Province of British Columbia in the years 1824-27. In the whole of that vast territory there were not more than 400 Europeans, almost all of whom were engaged in the fur trade, and Douglas's account of his travels is full of interest to naturalists and historians and gives a marvelous picture of what life was like in the huge wilderness before the primeval forest was exploited. He endured much and recorded some extraordinary adventures and achievements. He was the first man to climb one of the peaks of the Canadian Rockies, and the first man to climb the Blue Mountains and Mount Roa in Hawaii. 191 pages plus bibliography.

Q. Why write a book on the law? A. Because of the gospel. When Jesus began his ministry the first sermon he preached issued the following command: 'Repent and believe in the gospel'. But of what were people to repent? Is there a clear moral standard in the Bible that reveals the holiness of God, the sinfulness of man, and the purity of new life in Christ? Yes, there is. The place of the moral law in relation to the gospel has become on of the most controversial issues for the evangelical church today. The end result is that less than 1% of church members can list the ten commandments. It is sadly true that some preach the law without the gospel. Some preach neither the law nor the gospel. However, no matter how hard one tries, one cannot genuinely preach the gospel without the law. It is hoped that this small volume may be used to God in awakening zeal for his glory, encouraging faithful preaching, promoting wise living, and initiating true revival.

[Cited in Martin Parr and Gerry Badger, The Photobook: A History, Volume II. (London and New York: Phaidon, 2006).] From Parr and Badger: "Davies focuses on the changing industrial landscape, shaped by the Industrial Revolution and the exigencies of two world wars. Following World War II, this landscape began to change radically, as heavy industry was replaced by newer light industry, and manufacturing and mining were superseded by service industries. Social housing, too, changed the face of British cities, as housing patterns based on the cottage gave way to tower blocks. From around 1960 to 1980, the face of the UK changed more than it had done in the previous 80 years or so. As one practising the objectivity of the New Topographic mode, Davies allows his pictures to speak for themselves, yet by focusing on patterns of land usage, he asks questions about the kinds of political and economic forces that determine the often poor results of allowing full reign to the market."

Java is a powerful and fast maturing development platform used to create client/server applications on any platform. XML is the most recent markup language, a standard format for the universal sharing of data and an intrinsic part of all major development both on the Web, and in the wider business community. Enterprise web applications are increasingly combining Java and XML technologies to provide more efficient ways to integrate Internet presence with business systems in the world of e-commerce. 
This core professional compendium breaks down into three main sections. The first presents the basic XML standards, Java APIs and programming tools for handling XML. The second part presents a selection of Java techniques which make up the building blocks for XML-based applications. The section is Java-centric, and presents the common scenarios for XML data I/O, building on the basic tools presented in part one. The final and largest section of the book shows how XML applications can be built on top of the techniques shown in part two, and demonstrates how XML can be used to solve real programming problems. 
If you want a hefty box of XML manipulation tools at your disposal and would like to discover how the language could be used in your Java applications, then this book is for you.

The release of the 1.3 version of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) represents the evolution of Sun Microsystems' server-side development platform into a more mature and sophisticated specification. Servlets 2.3 gain events and filtering; JavaServer Pages (JSP) 1.2 gain a new XML syntax and enhancements to the custom tag mechanisms; and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 2.0 has some significant changes to its container-managed persistence model, as well as support for asynchronous processing with the new message-driven beans. 
 This book demonstrates how to design and construct secure and scalable n-tier J2EE applications, using JSP and servlets for the web tier and EJBs for the business logic. It also covers J2EE Connector Architecture that allows you to easily integrate your J2EE applications to enterprise information systems. 
 This book covers: 
<li>The J2EE container architecture and runtime services 
</li>
<li>Web component development with Servlets 2.3 and JavaServer Pages 1.2 
</li>
<li>Business logic components with EJB 2.0, including container-managed persistence, EJB QL, and message-driven beans 
</li>
<li>Underlying J2EE technologies for distributed development - RMI, JDBC and JNDI 
</li>
<li>Introduction to Web Services covering SOAP, SwA, WSDL, and UDDI 
</li>
