America''s longest-running manga reaches Volume 40! After all his time together with the goddesses, Keiichi is finally leaving Earth with them on an exciting getaway together. But they''re not taking a trip to Heaven . . . instead they''re headed straight for Hell! To reach Hagal, the usurper of Hild''s infernal throne (it''s more like an infernal boardroom, actually . . .), Keiichi must help Belldandy, Urd, and Skuld defeat the door wardens that stand between them and their adversary. But when even the first guardian is the mistress of elemental darkness, you know things aren''t going to be easy!
Ever since a cosmic phone call led to five literal young goddesses Belldandy, Urd, Skuld — and, like occasional vowels, Peorth and Lind — to live in college student Keiichi's residence, his personal life has been turned upside down, sideways, and sometimes even into strange dimensions! After the drama of the familiar, we return to the comedy of the even more familiar, as Oh My Goddess! goes back to school — Nekomi Tech, that is, only to find the campus festival tradition has lost none of its lunacy. Tamiya and Otaki are bringing all their idol graces to the stage in a karaoke contest, with a special surprise entrant from way back... versus the indescribable voice of Belldandy! Plus your fan art and letters!
Andra wakes up from a cryogenic sleep 1,000 years later than she was supposed to, forcing her to team up with an exiled prince to navigate an unfamiliar planet in this smart, thrilling sci-fi adventure, perfect for fans of Renegades and Aurora Rising. When Andra wakes up, she's drowning. Not only that, but she's in a hot, dirty cave, it's the year 3102, and everyone keeps calling her Goddess. When Andra went into a cryonic sleep for a trip across the galaxy, she expected to wake up in a hundred years, not a thousand. Worst of all, the rest of the colonists--including her family and friends--are dead. They died centuries ago, and for some reason, their descendants think Andra's a deity. She knows she's nothing special, but she'll play along if it means she can figure out why she was left in stasis and how to get back to Earth. Zhade, the exiled bastard prince of Eerensed, has other plans. Four years ago, the sleeping Goddess's glass coffin disappeared from the palace, and Zhade devoted himself to finding it. Now he's hoping the Goddess will be the key to taking his rightful place on the throne--if he can get her to play her part, that is. Because if his people realize she doesn't actually have the power to save their dying planet, they'll kill her. With a vicious monarch on the throne and a city tearing apart at the seams, Zhade and Andra might never be able to unlock the mystery of her fate, let alone find a way to unseat the king, especially since Zhade hasn't exactly been forthcoming with Andra. And a thousand years from home, is there any way of knowing that Earth is better than the planet she's woken to?

Crystallography Made Crystal Clear is designed to meet the need for an X-ray analysis that is between brief textbook sections and complete treatments. The book provides non-crystallographers with an intellectually satisfying explanation of the principles of how protein models are gleaned from X-ray analysis. The understanding of these concepts will foster wise use of the models, including the recognition of the strengths and weaknesses of pictures or computer graphics. Since proteins comprise the majority of the mass of macromolecules in cells and carry out biologically important tasks, the book will be of interest to biologists.Provides accessible descriptions of principles of x-ray crystallography, built on simple foundations for anyone with a basic science backgroundLeads the reader through clear, thorough, unintimidating explanations of the mathematics behind crystallographyExplains how to read crystallography papers in research journalsIf you use computer-generated models of proteins or nucleic acids for:Studying molecular interactionsDesigning ligands, inhibitors, or drugsEngineering new protein functionsInterpreting chemical, kinetic, thermodynamic, or spectroscopic dataStudying protein foldingTeaching macromolecule structure,and if you want to read new structure papers intelligently; become a wiser user of macromolecular models; and want to introduce undergraduates to the important subject of x-ray crystallography, then this book is for you.
