This book should be of interest to introductory and general text for students in chemistry, physical chemistry and physical sciences.

Agrochemical products and adjuvants are of vital importance in agriculture, to protect food and fibre crops from weeds, insect pests and diseases, in order to feed and clothe the growing world population. In recent years there have been increasing pressures to produce agrochemical formulations which have a lower environmental impact and are safer in use. Enormous changes have taken place in the chemistry and technology of agrochemicals over the last twenty years or so and this book provides a timely review of the most important area of technology in the development of new products. This book covers issues around international product quality and safety standards and describes the current and likely future trends which will carry the industry forward into the next millennium. It brings together well known international experts with many years of practical experience from agrochemical companies, consultancies, academic institutions and regulatory bodies. Chemists and technologists involved in developing new or improved agrochemical formulations will find this book an essential reference in the course of their work. The book will also be of interest to those working in research and development departments of raw material suppliers, as a concise review of this important field.

You see them all the time, their pants hung low, underwear showing, tattoos on chests and arms. They are repeatedly seen handcuffed on the late breaking news. These images branded in our psyches are of young African-American males. Although these images dominate newscasts, there are many young African-American males leading positive and productive lives. The title "Help Them Pull Their Pants Up" is used literally and figuratively. There are young brothers literally needing to pull their pants up, but there are also young brothers figuratively needing help in pulling their personal and professional pants up.

In this groundbreaking book for both mentors and communities, Gilbert A. Knowles, suggests ways to:

Become more effective mentors through trust, inspiration, and motivation (TIM) Evaluate potential obstacles Work against drugs, school dropouts, and crime And much more

Knowles beseeches Americans to overcome negative impressions of young brothers so they can collectively "Help Them Pull Their Pants Up,"

The inspiration for this volume lies in Edisbury's Practical Hints for Absorption Spectrometry which was published 17 years ago. Dr Edisbury was a founding member of the Photoelectric Spectrometry Group, served as its first Secretary and edited the Bulletin for many years. His wisdom, humour and pragmatism was evident in early meetings of the Group and in the first issues of the Bulletin, and these qualities were distilled in the writing of Practical Hints. In 1977, the Committee of the Group, which by then had been re-named The UV Spectrometry Group, decided to make use of the expertise available amongst the members of the Group in writing some monographs on the practice of UV and visible spectrometry. Working parties were set up which formulated and produced the first two volumes of the series on Standards in Absorption Spectrometry and Standards in Fluorescence Spectrometry. The success of these volumes lead the present Committee of the Group to set up a new Working Party in 1981 to plan a modern version of Edisbury's book. The idea really caught fire' at the first meeting of the Working Party, when ideas sufficient to fill ten vol umes were put forward. We would not pretend to emulate Edisbury's unique style, but hoped to produce a readable book for the newcomer to UV -visible absorption spectrometry, and perhaps to improve the technique of more experienced users."
