Critical Materials takes a case-study approach, describing
materials supply-chain failures from the bronze age to present day.
It looks at why these failures occurred, what the consequences
were, and how they were resolved. It identifies key lessons to
guide responses to current and anticipated materials shortages at a
time when the world's growing middle class is creating
unprecedented demand for manufactured products and the increasingly
exotic materials that go into them. This book serves as a guide to
materials researchers and industrial end-users for finding
effective approaches to shortages of specialty materials. The
lessons in the book are also appropriate to those who use materials
and for those involved in manufacturing supply-chain management and
industrial design.
Interest in heroin is surging back after years of dormancy. Why?
Supply and demand! Drug cartels have increased the supply of
heroin, so that it is cheaper and purer than ever before. Secondly,
the Federal government's recent crack down on popular prescription
opiates like OxcyContin, Percocet, and Vicodin so they are
increasingly hard and costly to obtain on the black market. A
recent study reveals that people who had recently abused
prescription opiates are 19 times more likely to try heroin. Fueled
by a boom in supply and a decline in cost, heroin use is up around
the nation and spreading to segments of the population once
considered unlikely users. "Cool people are doing it!" Remember the
old slogan: "Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n Roll"? Heroin has a sexy
side--very sexy. Black Opium: Ecstasy of the Forbidden brings
heroin's sexy visions to life. The world of black opium is a
forbidden world where human bodies find themselves possessed and
driven by desires which consume them in the flames of hot-blooded
ecstasy, Black Opium describes every aspect of an opium smoker's
life in lurid detail. Often compared to James Joyces' Dubliners,
Farrere's Black Opium consists of seventeen compelling tales
delineating six periods in the history and use of opium. This
edition of Black Opium is a reissue of And/Or Press' 1974 Fitz Hugh
Ludlow edition, which features salacious illustrations by Alexander
King, and the addition of a foreword by Dr. Moraes.
