This very basic textbook aims to provide nursing students with the essential bioscience they will need to complete their Common Foundation Programme.

The book will explore the relevant basic scientific principles, apply these principles to clinical situations and then ask review questions. For anyone who has not studied science before this will be an excellent introduction to the key concepts of chemistry, physics and biology, as applied to nursing.

The story describes the formative years of the life of Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and an allusion to the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology, Daedalus.

One of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.

Joyce James was inspired to write "Crazy Christians," hoping it will help Christians make better choices and good decisions. At the same time she shares some of her most intimate experiences with God. Her background as a pastoral Christian counselor and minister of the gospel has exposed her to people who have made poor choices "in the name of God." This has caused some to see God and Christianity in a negative light. We hope that you enjoy the light-hearted and more serious parts of the book while reading it.
