What if a device installed in our bodies could make us our best selves? What if all of the Earth's wild animals lived next door with a fence as the only barrier? What if 'freedom' no longer existed? And nobody else thought it was wrong? In the First Republic of Equality (FRE), the Consul controls every aspect of the citizens' lives. What they know. How they eat. Where they go. Every regulation serves the common good. Regan Salvatore has spent her sixteen years trying to be good to others, follow the rules, make her family proud. She's never thought twice about the way things are. For the last year, Regan’s been busy falling for her boyfriend, Grant Halden. He's a computer prodigy who has been away all summer working on a secret Consul project with his father. On the first day of school, Regan meets a new student from the farmlands. Beau Conway immediately intrigues her. Every time she talks to Beau, Regan finds herself looking at the world in a different light. He teaches her about forbidden history, wide open spaces, and making her own choices. Regan starts to wonder if humanity deserves something more. Regan, her family, and friends notice the beginnings of societal decay. Little do they know, the country is on the verge of collapse. The Consul develops a plan to save it: Mogul. Researchers boast that this breakthrough in technology and medicine can enhance any person's aptitudes and ensure optimal health. Once they have Mogul installed in them, people start acting... strange. Upon noticing her loved ones' sudden aberrant behavior, Regan senses that something almighty is coming. Grant assures her that she can trust the Consul. Yet Regan is compelled to do what she believes is right. With forgotten ideas permeating her mind, Regan quests to find the truth- but is it already too late?

The Chemistry and Technology of Furfural and its Many By-Products

The Chemistry and Technology of Furfural and its Many By-Products

By: K.J. Zeitsch

This book is a "world first", since the furfural industry has been traditionally secretive to the point of appearing shrouded in clouds of mystery. Even renowned encyclopedic works have published but scant and often erroneous information on the subject. Striking a healthy balance between theory and practice, the book leads the reader from reaction mechanisms and kinetics to the technology of making furfural by various old and new processes, using conventional raw materials or sulfite waste liquor. Detailed discussions of means of increasing the yield are of great chemical and technological interest as well as of immense economic importance. From furfural proper, the treatise shifts to the fascinating field of wanted and unwanted by-products ranging from largely unutilized carboxylic acids to troublesome impurities such as 5-methyl furfural and 2-furyl methyl ketone, and then to extremely valuable serendipitous flavor compounds such as diacetyl and 2,3-pentanedione. A wide variety of derivatives are discussed; considerable space is devoted to polytetrahydrofuran, an important building block of stretchable synthetic fibers, while furan resins from both furfural and furfuryl alcohol are given the attention commensurate with their industrial importance. Notable supplementary chapters cover the in-line measurement of furfural, the treatment of furfural waste water, and various aspects of corrosion. A chapter on the applications of furfural elaborates not only traditional uses in extracting petroleum and vegetable oils but also the sensational discovery that furfural is a highly effective "indirect nematocide". Without becoming toxic, it changes the microflora of the soil by stimulating bacteria antagonistic to nematodes, thereby reducing the nematode population to zero, at an unprecedented low price. It is believed that this application will be the principal outlet for furfural in the future. A comprehensive list of physical properties, some never published before, make the book an indispensable companion for producers, users and researchers alike.

Skyjack

By: K J Howe

The electrifying sequel to THE FREEDOM BROKER, featuring Thea Paris, a kidnap and ransom specialist.

Lisa Gardner says THE FREEDOM BROKER is 'clever and gritty' and Peter James calls it 'spellbinding'. If you like David Baldacci's King and Maxwell series, you will love this. When Thea Paris's flight is hijacked over the Libyan Desert, her first priority is the two former child soldiers she is escorting to a new life in London. As an international kidnap specialist, Thea Paris negotiates for hostage release as part of her job. She knows one wrong move could lead to deadly consequences. After she is forcibly separated from the boys and the other passengers, Thea and her tactical team quickly regroup. And in their desperate search for the hostages that follows, unearth a conspiracy involving the CIA, the Vatican and the Sicilian Mafia, and a plot far more sinister than Thea could ever have imagined.
