East of Malta, West of Suez

Britain's Mediterranean Crisis, 1936-1939

By: Larry Pratt

We are a very rich and a very vulnerable Empire, and there are plenty of poor adventurers not very far away who look upon us with hungry eyes.' This is how Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain underlined England's acute imperial predicament in 1938 when he was about to launch his policy of European appeasement. What was the relationship between Empire and appeasement in British foreign policy in the last years of the inter-war peace? How did Britain's exposed overseas interests in the Far East, in the Middle East and in the Mediterranean influence diplomatic policies taken in London at the time of the Rhineland occupation, the Anschluss, the Munich crisis, the Prague coup of March 1939, or the invasion of Poland six months later? How closely was the policy of appeasement tied to the burden of global military weakness, and what was the impact of strategic advice on Cabinet decision-making in the Chamberlain era?

The Potential Distribution Theorem and Models of Molecular Solutions

By: Tom L. Beck,Michael E. Paulaitis,Lawrence R. Pratt

An understanding of statistical thermodynamic molecular theory is fundamental to the appreciation of molecular solutions. This complex subject has been simplified by the authors with down-to-earth presentations of molecular theory. Using the potential distribution theorem (PDT) as the basis, the text provides a discussion of practical theories in conjunction with simulation results. The authors discuss the field in a concise and simple manner, illustrating the text with useful models of solution thermodynamics and numerous exercises. Modern quasi-chemical theories that permit statistical thermodynamic properties to be studied on the basis of electronic structure calculations are given extended development, as is the testing of those theoretical results with ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The book is intended for students taking up research problems of molecular science in chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, nanotechnology and biotechnology.

Pediatric Psychopharmacology

By: Lawrence Scahill,Christopher Kratochvil

When the first edition of Pediatric Psychopharmacology published in 2002, it filled a void in child and adolescent psychiatry and quickly establishing itself as the definitive text-reference in pediatric psychopharmacology. While numerous short, clinically focused paperbacks have been published since then, no competitors with the scholarly breadth, depth, and luster of this volume have emerged. In the second edition, Christopher Kratochvil, MD, a highly respected expert in pediatric psychopharmacology, joins the outstanding editorial team led by Dr. Martin and Dr. Scahill. In the new edition, the editors streamline the flow of information to reflect the growth in scientific data since the first edition appeared. The overall structure of the book remains the same, with major sections on underlying biology; somatic interventions; assessment and treatment; and special considerations.

IRISChemical Information Database

By: Lawrence H. Keith

The Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) is the EPA's most comprehensive database for hazardous environmental chemicals. Updated quarterly, it covers five major subject categories: Chronic health hazard assessment for noncarcinogenic effects Carcinogenicity assessment for lifetime exposure Health hazard assessments for varied exposure durations U.S. EPA regulatory actions Supplementary data, references, and synonyms IRIS (Integrated Risk Information System) Features: Our version of the IRIS database is available at a significant savings over the government's version and features powerful searching capabilities, printing and exporting features, and automatic installation... Data for this package is compiled into a series of alphabetized searchable files that comes complete with a menu-driven search program to make finding information quick and painless. The database also features an automatic installation program and can generate reports as printed copies or electronic files ready for import into a word processor. Load as much or as little of the information you need from the database for fast results on your personal computer. When your IRIS quarterly updates arrive, simply load the new disks on your computer and the latest version of the complete IRIS database is at your fingertips. Even better, our version of the IRIS database is available at a significant savings over the government's version, and features powerful searching capabilities, printing and exporting features, and automatic installation. The most comprehensive data available for hazardous substances... IRIS (Integrated Risk Information System) features comprehensive information for about 500 hazardous regulated and unregulated substances. This number increases every three months with the addition of new files and revisions to existing information. Unlike other databases that provide summaries or abbreviated data, IRIS gives you extensive textual and numeric information complete with EPA contacts and full references. IRIS is the database to use to obtain the critical toxicity, regulatory, risk assessment, medical, chemical and physical property data you'll need for risk evaluations, regulatory decisions, and other uses. And with its quarterly updates, your information never grows old. Chronic health hazard assessments include reference doses for chronic oral exposure and inhalation exposure. Carcinogenicity assessment data includes evidence for classification as to human carcinogenicity; quantitative estimates of carcinogenic risk from oral exposure and inhalation exposure; and EPA documentation, review, and contacts. Health hazards assessments provide information from EPA's Drinking Water Health Advisories (including health advisories for children and adults, organoleptic properties, taste and odor, analytical methods for detection in drinking water, water treatment, documentation and EPA contacts). What Does IRIS Provide? Complete U.S. EPA regulatory action data is presented for: Clean Air Act (including NAAQS, NESHAP, and NSPS) Safe Drinking Water Act (including MCLGs, MCLs, and SMCLs) Clean Water Act Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) (including Appendix 9) Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) (including Superfund data) Reportable quantity data for the release of substances into the environment IRIS's supplementary data includes important information such as: Acute health hazard information (e.g., toxicity, medical conditions) Physical and chemical properties (e.g., formula, vapor pressure, flash point) References and synonyms IRIS Chemical Information Database is one of the most important reference sources available for toxicologists, chemists, chemical engineers, ecologists, environmental scientists, regulators, industrial hygienists, occupational physicians, government administrators, emergency response personnel, hazardous material response teams, lawyers, union representatives, insurance companies, commercial realtors and lending institutions, property pre-acquisition auditors, analytical laboratories, and libraries. System Requirements: To use the IRIS Chemical Information Database, you need IBM® or IBM-compatible equipment with 640K RAM and a hard drive with 2 to 15MB of available disk space (depending on the number of disks you load). DOS 2.0 or higher is also required. Diskettes can be ordered in either 5.25" or 3.5" formats. The IRIS Chemical Information Database is an annual subscription product updated on a quarterly basis. A user's manual is included in the subscription price. Each update will be automatically sent to you unless you cancel your subscription. Because each update replaces the previous version of the IRIS database, you can be sure that you will receive the most current version, including searching, printing, and installation capabilities, regardless of what time of year you initially subscribe. Subscription renewal information for 1993 will automatically be sent to current subscribers.

Vaccines for Biodefense and Emerging and Neglected Diseases

By: Alan D.T. Barrett,Lawrence R. Stanberry

The last 20 years has seen a rapid increase in infectious diseases, particularly those that are termed "emerging diseases" such as SARS, "neglected diseases" such as malaria and those that are deemed biothreats such as anthrax. It is well-recognized that the most effective modality for preventing infectious diseases is vaccination. This book provides researchers with a better understanding of what is currently known about these diseases, including whether there is a vaccine available or under development. It also informs readers of the key issues in development of a vaccine for each disease. - Provides a comprehensive treatise of the agents that are responsible for emerging and neglected diseases and those that can be used as biothreats - Includes the processes such as the vaccine development pathway, vaccine manufacturing and regulatory issues that are critical to the generation of these vaccines to the marketplace - Each chapter will include a map of the world showing where that particular disease is naturally found

Creating Built Environments

Bridging Knowledge and Practice Divides

By: Roderick Lawrence

Built environments are complex, emergent, systemic, and require contextual analysis. They should be understood before reconsidering how professionals and researchers of the built environment are educated and trained to reduce the gap between knowledge, practice and real-world circumstances. There is an urgent need to rethink the role of policy makers, researchers, practitioners and laypeople in the construction, renovation and reuse of the built environment in order to deal with numerous environmental/ecological, economic/financial and social/ethical challenges of providing a habitat for current and future generations in a world of continual change. These challenges are too complex to be dealt with only by one discipline or profession. Combinations of different types of knowledge, knowing in praxis and tacit knowledge are needed. This book presents and illustrates recent innovative contributions with case studies focusing on five strategic domains and the interrelations between them. These transdisciplinary contributions apply concepts, methods and tools that facilitate convergence and concerted action between participants collaborating in policy definition and project implementation. The methods and tools include experiments in living-labs, prototypes on site and virtual simulations, as well as participatory approaches including citizen science, the development of alternative scenarios, and visioning plausible futures.

Passport to World Band Radio 1998

By: Lawrence Magne

Elegant rusticity meets unpretentious luxury in the work of this award-winning architecture firm. Howard Backen, award-winning principal of the architecture firm Backen Gillam Kroeger, is at the center of a popular movement in home design that emphasizes comfort over pretension and elegant simplicity over complication that tends to serve the ego of architects. This volume, the first on his work and that of the firm, is an artful exploration of that this aesthetic, featuring farmhouses in the Napa Valley, hilltop homes, seaside retreats, and lakeside hideaways. Throughout the work, a sense of intimacy, warmth, and informality pervades. Natural materials, such as wood, stone, and brick form the foundations, walls, and ceilings of these subtly luxurious spaces, while nature itself plays a considered role that is at once complementary and also intricately conjoined with the work. Long vistas open outward toward sun-drenched valleys from the window-lined wall of a bedroom in one home, while more immediate scenes of steeply rising hillsides and hidden lakes appear from just beyond the back stoop--and the rough-hewn-board dock--of another. Sensitive, alluring, and wonderfully resonant with the suggestion of invitation, the work of Backen Gillam Kroeger is both thrilling to the eye and restorative to the soul.
