Mechanisms of Atmospheric Oxidation of the Oxygenates

By: Jack Calvert,Abdelwahid Mellouki,John Orlando,Michael Pilling,Timothy Wallington

Prepared by an international team of eminent atmospheric scientists, Mechanisms of Atmospheric Oxidation of the Oxygenates is an authoritative source of information on the role of oxygenates in the chemistry of the atmosphere. The oxygenates, including the many different alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, acids, esters, and nitrogen-atom containing oxygenates, are of special interest today due to their increased use as alternative fuels and fuel additives. This book describes the physical properties of oxygenates, as well as the chemical and photochemical parameters that determine their reaction pathways in the atmosphere. Quantitative descriptions of the pathways of the oxygenates from release or formation in the atmosphere to final products are provided, as is a comprehensive review and evaluation of the extensive kinetic literature on the atmospheric chemistry of the different oxygenates and their many halogen-atom substituted analogues. This book will be of interest to modelers of atmospheric chemistry, environmental scientists and engineers, and air quality planning agencies as a useful input for development of realistic modules designed to simulate the atmospheric chemistry of the oxygenates, their major oxidation products, and their influence on ozone and other trace gases within the troposhere.

Lung and Pleural Pathology

By: Philip Cagle,Timothy Craig Allen

The first textbook to fully cover the revolution in pulmonary pathology Lung and Pleural Pathology goes beyond the scope of traditional pulmonary pathology textbooks by analyzing all of the changing paradigms that are reshaping pulmonary pathology practice. Authored by renowned pulmonary pathologists, it is the one comprehensive, up-to-date pulmonary pathology textbook that covers important new clinical approaches, including new WHO classification of lung cancer; the current status of lung cancer biomarkers; and emerging concepts in lung fibrosis and interstitial lung diseases, which have implications for newer treatments. The book also discusses the identification and characterization of recently publicized pulmonary infections. Encompassing text, abundant color figures, and multiple tables, Lung and Pleural Pathology is a practical yet complete guide to the current pathologic diagnosis of pulmonary disease, including: · Emerging pulmonary diseases · Latest classifications of lung cancer and non-neoplastic diseases · Biomarkers in lung cancer · Pediatric pulmonary pathology · Smoking-related lung diseases · Small airways disease · Acute lung injury · Pulmonary lymphomas · Lung transplant pathology Philip T. Cagle, MD is Medical Director, Pulmonary Pathology, Department of Pathology and Genomic Medicine, The Methodist Hospital Research Institute, Houston, Texas; and Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University, New York, New York. Timothy C. Allen, MD is Professor, Department of Pathology; and Director of Anatomic Pathology, The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston.

Grandview Days

A Mckeesport Memoir

By: Timothy J. Flaherty

Timothy J. Flaherty's book, Grandview Days: A McKeesport Memoir, started out as a collection of some entertaining, and some poignant memories of a Steel Valley, Pennsylvania childhood, but evolved into a much deeper and broader understanding of the complexity of our humanity, and the civilizing process of growing up. He felt compelled to tell his story because a somewhat dysfunctional upbringing like his continues to be all too common. As a child, he felt chronically unsafe due to the unpredictable, sometimes violent behavior of his father. What would be a tender and forgiving man one day could be a raging, violent tyrant the next. “The scars of childhood are not simply left behind,” says Flaherty. “Fear, hurt, and anger from the past can lead to unhealthy behaviors, anxiety, and depression. There is a tendency to repeat family of origin patterns in adulthood that makes accepting the importance of one's own childhood so critical.” However, he is convinced that no parent, as with no human being of any station in life, is unidimensional. “People are complicated by their sometimes rough treatment by the world,” he says, “which can affect their functioning as parents and as role models, but if, in the long run, one tries their best, that is nearly always seen and appreciated for what it is, and is enough.”Flaherty remembers his parents, grandparents, brothers, friends, schoolmates, neighbors, teachers, and local shopkeepers all so vividly. “Even the people who challenged or frightened us taught us hard lessons necessary for successful living,” he says. In our modern discussions of values, corporate ethics, and political accountability, he believes we would do well to remind ourselves that it is the crucible of family, neighborhood, and community that very early in our lives forces the fusion of our precious ethical mettle. The author considers that the freedom of access to information, rational thought, and the scientific (empirical) method for the slow discovery of truth are replacing narrow thinking and ontological divides that only serve to separate peoples worldwide. “We need only glance at the day's headlines to know that guilt, fear, and religious martyrdom are poor motivators of honorable and altruistic behavior,” he says. In Grandview Days, Flaherty also discusses the environmental mayhem he has lived through, such as the despoliation of the western Pennsylvania riverine areas, primarily by the steel industry of the 19th and 20th centuries, and the largest oil spill in history, when the British Petroleum deep-water drilling platform exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. The overall message he conveys is that we are all role models for the next generation of Mother Earth's guardians. A compelling, amusing, and highly motivating read, this book is sure to appeal to a wide-ranging audience.
