Overview: Fills a clear void in the available literature for superfund site management, teaching and researchMarianne Horinko Executive Vice President, Global Environment and Technology Foundation On August 7, 1978, President Carter declared a state of emergency in the community of Love Canal, New York. The President urged residents of Love Canal to evacuate, not because of a recent catastrophic event, but because of something that occurred in the 1940‘s and 1950‘s. This Niagara Falls community had been developed on land that was formerly used as a landfill. Although the landfill was closed in

Overview: About ten years after the publication of the Second Edition (1973), it became apparent that it was time for an up-date of this book. This was especially true in this case, since the subject matter has traditionally dealt mainly with the structure, properties, and technology of the various elastomers used in industry, and these are bound to undergo significant changes over the period of a decade. In revising the contents of this volume, it was thought best to keep the orig­ inal format. Hence the first five chapters discuss the same general subject matter as before. The chapters deali

Overview: Interest in the problem of interaction between radiation andastrophysical plasmas arose decades ago. Initially, this was closelyrelated to the discovery of radio emission from the Sun and Galaxywhich alerted theoretical radio astronomers to the problem of theorigin of extra-terrestrial radio emission. It has been found that theobserved radio emission from cosmic sources is generated by virtue ofthe mechanisms which work mainly in plasma (an ionized gas). Recently,the theory of generation and propagation of radiation in astrophysicalplasmas has outgrown its parent domain of theoretica

Overview: Global attention in scientific, industrial, and governmental commumtles to traces of toxic chemicals in foodstuffs and in both abiotic and biotic environ­ ments has justified the present triumvirate of specialized publications in this field: comprehensive reviews, rapidly published progress reports, and archival documentations. These three publications are integrated and scheduled to pro­ vide in international communication the coherency essential for nonduplicative and current progress in a field as dynamic and complex as environmental con­ tamination and toxicology. Until now there

Overview: Depicting NAFTA to be but a stepping stone rather than final product of regional economic integrative efforts, a chapter-specific 15-year assessment conveys the upsides and downsides of North America‘s Camelot moment.978-1-349-44197-6978-1-137-29717-4

Overview: The surge of interest in the REpresentational State Transfer (REST) architectural style, the Semantic Web, and Linked Data has resulted in the development of innovative, flexible, and powerful systems that embrace one or more of these compatible technologies. However, most developers, architects, Information Technology managers, and platform owners have only been exposed to the basics of resource-oriented architectures. This book is an attempt to catalog and elucidate several reusable solutions that have been seen in the wild in the now increasingly familiar "patterns book" style. Th

However patient’s safety remains of paramount importance and complications are unacceptable. Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) has been proven to have a lower surgical mortality and morbidity as well as a lower blood loss, a shorter hospital stay, and a better cosmetic result

Overview: How do rapid social and technological changes shape reproductive realms today?

Overview: This book demonstrates that the symbol of maternal sacrifice is the notion that ‘proper‘ women put the welfare of children, whether born, .in utero. or not conceived, over and above any choices and desires of their own. The idea of maternal sacrifice acts as powerful signifier in judging women‘s behaviour that goes beyond necessary care for any children. The book traces its presence in various aspects of reproductive health, from contraception to breastfeeding. .Pam Lowe shows how although nominally choices are presented to women around reproductive health, maternal sacrifice is used

Overview: Nearly a century has passed since Rehn performed the first successful cardiac operation by closing a right ventricular stab wound in a gravely ill patient. Moreover, it has been more than fifty years since Gross successfully corrected the first congenital cardiac malformation in 1938 by suture ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus. The introduction of the Blalock operation for tetralogy of Fallot by Blalock in 1944 greatly advanced the management and prognosis of a critically ill group of cardiac patients, and the success of this procedure further stimulated the development of conce

Overview: This book analyzes attempts by radical Spanish republicans to construct an anticlerical-nationalist vision of Spain, focusing in particular on the the mass production by the ‘anticlertical industry‘ of newspapers, novels, poems, cartoons, posters, postcards and plays put out by republican muckrakers, journalists, and politicians.978-0-230-62008-7
