Is going to heaven a guarantee if you're a good person? The entire world tries to convince us of this, but what if this is simply false? Like most people, first-time author Helen Brown struggled with life, God, and doubt. She recognized that much of what the world declares does not align with our physical and spiritual presence. It wasn't until she questioned the true meaning of our existence in this world and started to read God's word in the Bible, that the clarity started to unfold. Sharing her own investigation, Helen explains how we have been misled to believe in our own characterization of goodness and, with that, the false assurance of a heavenly afterlife. Expecting Heaven... takes you through the illusion of today's modern worldview, challenges you to contemplate your life on earth from a biblical perspective, and encourages you to think about how important it is to understand where you will spend eternity.

Knowledge and innovation (Routledge Studies in Innovation, Organizations and Technology)

This new book presents case studies from the US, the UK and Japan. Packed full of vignettes from cases studies and subscribing to a socio-cultural approach rather than the often tacit assumption that knowledge and ‘technology transfer’ is a logistical problem, this excellent volume illuminates the often misunderstood process of knowledge transfer. Arguing that partnership between public and private sector organizations can take many forms, some of which are very complicated Brown shows that 'partnership' should not be prescribed as a panacea for the delivery of complex policy in education, health and economic regeneration. Instead policy makers need to adopt a much more subtle and sophisticated concept of multi-agency partnership that acknowledges the time and effort needed to build trust and new shared practices. Taking issue with weak theories of change endemic in some policies and emphasizing the process of knowledge creation and the significance of consequent changes in the dynamics of human relations Brown conceptualizes innovation as collaboration between diverse organizations and individuals, the result of which is organizational learning. This book will be of great interest to students and researchers interested in policy studies, business and management and education, as well as policy makers engaged with communities of practice theory.

A mixed model allows the incorporation of both fixed and random variables within a statistical analysis. This enables efficient inferences and more information to be gained from the data. The application of mixed models is an increasingly popular way of analysing medical data, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. There have been many recent advances in mixed modelling, particularly regarding the software and applications. This new edition of a groundbreaking text discusses the latest developments, from updated SAS techniques to the increasingly wide range of applications. 
<ul>
<li>Presents an overview of the theory and applications of mixed models in medical research, including the latest developments and new sections on bioequivalence, cluster randomised trials and missing data.</li> <li>Easily accessible to practitioners in any area where mixed models are used, including medical statisticians and economists.</li> <li>Includes numerous examples using real data from medical and health research, and epidemiology, illustrated with SAS code and output.</li> <li>Features new version of SAS, including the procedure PROC GLIMMIX and an introduction to other available software.</li> <li>Supported by a website featuring computer code, data sets, and further material, available at: http://www.chs.med.ed.ac.uk/phs/mixed/.</li> </ul>
This much-anticipated second edition is ideal for applied statisticians working in medical research and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as teachers and students of statistics courses in mixed models. The text will also be of great value to a broad range of scientists, particularly those working the medical and pharmaceutical areas.

Provides a clear understanding of the application of mixed models, and describes the benefits to be gained from their use as well as the practical implications. Mixed models is becoming a popular method of statistical analysis used for analysing medical data, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. This method often gives improvements over conventional fixed effect models, especially when data are unbalanced. Presently there is no other book covering the application of mixed models to clinical data, making this book essential reading for those involved in this subject. Features include: * Takes a balanced view of mixed models by discussing some of the problems in their use and indicates where more conventional fixed effect models might be preferred. * Easily accessible to practitioners in any areas where mixed models are used, including medical statisticians and economists * Illustrated with numerous medical examples which clearly demonstrate the application of the theory * Extensive coverage of the underlying theory * Devotes a complete chapter to the use of software procedures and macros to fit mixed models. This title is aimed at medical, applied and bio-statisticians, along with teachers and students of advanced statistics courses in mixed models. The book is also suitable for medical scientists who need to understand the techniques used and the assumuptions which underpin their use.
