1902 biography. Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, orator, author and leader of the African-American community. He was freed from slavery as a child, and after working at several menial jobs in West Virginia, earned his way through an education at Hampton Institute and Wayland Seminary. Upon recommendation of Hampton founder Sam Armstrong, as a young man, he was appointed as the first leader of the new Tuskegee Institute, then a teachers' college for blacks.
One of the outstanding advantages of TPE's can be summarized in a single phrase: They allow rubberlike articles to be produced using the rapid processing techniques developed by the thermoplastic industry. The commercial development of TPE's enabled the rubber industry to utilize new processing techniques including blow molding, comolding and coextrusion, hot melt coating of pressure sensitive adhesives, and direct injection molding. New products, new processing techniques, new properties, and new applications have been experienced in the last decade. All this is reflected in this general introduction to the subject.

Thermoplastic elastomers are one of the fastest growing material groups. They can be processed like thermoplastics but their properties are close to those of vulcanized elastomers. New products, new processing techniques, new properties, and new applications have developed since the publication of the 2nd edition. All these developments are reflected in the new edition of this well-established standard work. A unique and comprehensive, up-to-date guide to all scientific and technical aspects of thermoplastic elastomers - indispensable for everyone working in this field.
The European Union's ineffectual actions during the Balkan wars of the 1990s have led to increasingly loud calls for this political and economic giant to develop an effective military arm - an integrated force capable of dealing with conflict in Europe's backyard and projecting military power globally. Toward a European Army offers a comprehensive analysis of this European defence project: its origins, purpose, and goals.
