Until now, information regarding chemical spill clean-up was
available only through manufacturer's literature from an individual
firm, or scattered in the traditional textbooks on remediation
engineering and hazardous waste management. Survey of Chemical
Spill Countermeasures provides a one-stop source of information on
how to clean up spill sites in safe, acceptable ways. Because of
the ever-growing need to maintain constant vigilance over hazardous
chemicals and potential leaks and spills, this reference will
become an important source for the practicing environmental
engineer and field technician.
Survey of Chemical Spill Countermeasures provides operators with
useful information on how to clean up sites, including controlling
leakage, containment of spills on land and water, and ways to
safely transfer and store the contaminants. Additionally, the book
includes up-to-date information on containment and treatment
technologies, from dredging and vacuuming, to solid and vapor
treatment systems.
Examining the analytic tools of scholars in religious studies, as
well as in related disciplines that have shaped the field, this
updated textbook includes cultural approaches from anthropology,
history, literature, and critical studies in race, sexuality, and
gender. Each chapter is written by a leading scholar and includes:
· the biographical and historical context of each theorist ·
their approaches and key writings · analysis and evaluation of
each theory · a list of key terms · suggested further reading
Part One: Comparative Approaches considers how major features such
as taboo, texts, myths, and ritual work across religious
traditions. This section explores the work of Mary Douglas, Phyllis
Trible, Wendy Doniger, Catherine Bell and, new to this edition,
Tomoko Masuzawa, whose contributions reveal the colonialist
assumptions of the comparative, world religions model. Part Two:
Examining Particularities analyzes the comparative approach through
the work of Alice Walker, Charles Long, and Caroline Walker Bynum,
who all suggest that the specifics of race, body, place and time
must be considered. Part Three: Expanding Boundaries examines
Gloria Anzaldúa’s language of religion, as well as the work of
Judith Butler on performative, queer theories of religion, Saba
Mahmood, whose work considers postcolonial religious encounters,
secularism, and the relationship between “East” and “West”.
New to this edition is Jasbir Puar’s work on work on affect,
gender, sexuality, and disability. Along with a list of key terms,
each section now includes an introduction highlighting the
contributions of each thinker and their relation to previous
theories that dominated the field.
This text crafts a trinitarian theology that reorients theology
from presumptions about the immateriality of the Trinity toward the
places where the Trinity matters-material bodies in historical
contexts and the intersecting ways political and theological power
structures normalize and marginalize bodies on the basis of
material difference.

This is the first reader to gather primary sources from influential
theorists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries in one place,

occurring in the field of religious studies. Each chapter focuses
on a major theorist and contains: * an introduction contextualizing

theorist's innovative methodological approach(es) * discussion
questions to extend and deepen reader engagement Divided in three
sections, the first part includes foundational comparative debates:
* Mary Douglas's articulation of purity and impurity * Phyllis
Trible's methods of reading sacred texts * Wendy Doniger's
comparative mythology * Catherine Bell's reimagining of religious
and secular ritual The second part focuses on methodological
particularity: * Alice Walker's use of narrative * Charles Long's
critique of Eurocentricism * Caroline Walker Bynum's emphasis on
gender and materiality The third section focuses on expanding
boundaries: * Gloria Anzaldua's work on borders and languages *
Judith Butler's critique of gender and sex norms * Saba Mahmood's
expansion on the critique of colonialism's secularizing demands
Reflecting the cultural turn and extending the existing canon, this
is the anthology instructors have been waiting for. For further

Offering a groundbreaking and intelligent discourse on Canada's
national sport, this collection of more than 35 interviews with
current and former NHL players, coaches, executives, and famous
commentators explains and expounds on the enigmatic relationship
hockey has long maintained with Canadians, and its relationship
with national identity and culture. Written by celebrated hockey
star Paul Henderson--known widely as the scorer of Canada's
"Greatest Goal" in 1972--with a foreword by current Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, each interview and account captures the spirit of
hockey and its role as a unifying force across 33 million
Canadians, and includes the sport's most-loved icons, greatest
plays, notorious brawls, and the infamous poll of great Canadians
in history that placed outrageous commentator Don Cherry ahead of
Alexander Graham Bell.
