A Pensioner's Lament takes the reader behind the "seen", exposing pension-abuse and fraud made possible initially by bureaucratic incompetence. It reveals fiduciary irresponsibility on the part of administrators and trustees of New Jersey's public pensions and deception in that State's Office of the Attorney General. The author's five-year unsuccessful pursuit of simple justice challenges the TPAF's simplistic interpretation of its own regulations. The reader sees what the author wrote and how his correspondents reacted. A Pensioner's Lament takes two appellate judges to task for neglecting to consider the author's legal arguments. Opinions of scholars and law professors are quoted. And, as he unravels his own adventure in the Garden State, the author comments on law, semantics, statutory interpretation etc. This documented revelation of administrative misfeasance and judicial malpractice will capture the attention and interest of public school educators everywhere. Law students, lawyers, judges and future pensioners will likewise find this legal affair of an unintimidated retiree truly riveting. Timely in its allusions to, and comments on, abuse on the part of trusted professionals, A Pensioner's Lament cries out for a reform of the American judiciary and for the "thorough and efficient" non-partisan supervision of the fiduciaries of public pension funds.

Explorations in Basic Biology is a self-contained laboratory manual designed for one- or two-semester introductory biology courses for non-biology and mixed biology majors. The exercises are appropriate for three-hour laboratory sessions, but are also adaptable to a two-hour laboratory format. Ideal for students with little hands-on science laboratory experience, this student-friendly text provides clear background information and directions for conducting laboratory activities. Students not only learn basic biological information but also gain experience practicing laboratory techniques. The Twelfth Edition has been updated with new content, including several new or modified figures and procedures that have been clarified wherever necessary to facilitate student learning, a new Appendix, and guidelines for writing a scientific paper. Several exercises also feature significant improvements.

The ideal accompaniment to any microbiology, virology, human biology and allied health course, The Guide to Infectious Diseases by Body System, Second Edition is a mini atlas of microbial diseases afflicting humans. Organized by body system, each unit presents a brief introduction to the anatomical system and the bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic organisms infecting the system. Full-color anatomical illustrations are labeled with the diseases' signs and symptoms. Each unit also provides brief descriptions of each disease, their cause, and treatments. This book makes an excellent infectious disease primer and quick reference for any microbiology, anatomy and physiology, or human biology student. Introduction by Jeffrey Pommerville: For many students entering the allied health and nursing fields, connecting infectious diseas with anatomy is a very necessary and rewarding experience. As I write this second edition, I have seen how important it is for my students to understand how an infectious agent causes a change from good health (disease) in the human body. Therefore, I have put together this short Guide to Infectious Diseases by Body System to help students understand the relationships between infectious agents and human body systems. Since some disease affect more than one body system, I have tried to match diseases with the more likely body system affected. The 16 anatomical units can be used with any text. Each unit begins with Background material. Then, the relationship between Signs and Symptoms and the body part affected is indicated in a body system illustration. The important section on Pathogenesis describes the cause, development, and effects of an infectious disease. Each unit ends with a brief synopsis of Treatment options for the infection.
