Cancer, a global health crisis, is projected by WHO to cause 10 million deaths by 2020, with a mortality rate of one in six. This has spurred intensive research for innovative treatments. Cancer arises from genetic abnormalities triggering uncontrolled cell division, presenting distinct hallmarks. Both inherited and acquired mutations transform cell behavior, resulting in abnormal growth, reproduction, and death. Environmental toxins and spontaneous mutations contribute to genetic changes, while hereditary factors predispose some individuals. Despite rapid advancements in targeted treatments and immunotherapy, therapy resistance remains a formidable challenge due to the disease's heterogeneity. Understanding cancer biology is crucial for developing effective treatments. This book provides a comprehensive overview, covering basic cell biology, genetics, cancer development mechanisms, immune system involvement, diagnostic methods, treatment modalities, including emerging therapies, and challenges like drug resistance. Geared towards students and researchers in biology, medicine, and oncology, it offers vital insights into combating this complex disease.

This book fills a critical need for sound science about dinosaurs from a biblical viewpoint, focusing on the five major dinosaur groups. Dinosaurs are in the news every day, as well as viewed in museums and on science channels. Unfortunately, these portrayals always push an evolutionary agenda. This book counters those arguments with solid, accurate, and biblically-based science: Explains the latest findings in dinosaur biology, behavior, extinction, and more Covers the complete spectrum of dinosaur-related topics, from the earliest dinosaur discoveries to debate over why they went extinct Provides a visually stunning, dynamic exploration into the history of dinosaurs through the most current discoveries few have seen before! Because of secular books and television shows, many Christians have struggled to explain how dinosaurs fit in the biblical timeline. The word “dinosaur” is not found in the Bible, which has caused some well-meaning Christians to turn to secular science for explanations, including more speculation than actual fact. Unfortunately, this misdirection has caused many people to lose faith in the Bible, especially the young generation. This book will restore faith in the Word of God as it connects the Bible with science. Read and discover how dinosaurs are part of God’s creative glory!

The Bible says the universe is just thousands of years old, and yet we can see stars that are billions of light-years away. Until now, creation scientists have not had a satisfactory answer to this puzzle, but the new cosmology outlined in this book offers a fresh and scientifically sound solution. Though he challenges some traditional creationist theories, Dr. Humphreys takes Scripture very straightforwardly, upholding its inerrancy and the idea of a young universe as he explains days one through four of creation week. This book not only contains an easy-to-read popular summary of this new cosmology, but also two technical papers which were very well received at the Third International Conference on Creationism. In this enlightening book Dr. Humphreys answers questions such as: How do you explain distant starlight in a young universe? How should a creationist answer the challenges that arise when faced with traditional cosmology? Doesn't distant starlight prove evolution?
