Richard Wesley Cole was a seventh-generation American whose family
got caught up in America's Civil War. He enlisted as a foot soldier
with the 3rd Mississippi State Infantry in October 1863 and, less
than a year later, became a horseman with George's Regiment,
Mississippi Cavalry, which later became the 5th Mississippi Cavalry
in General Nathan Bedford Forrest's Cavalry Department. Richard
proudly rode with Forrest until Richard was killed on 12 April
1864, at the Battle of Fort Pillow in Lauderdale County, Tennessee.
Richard's story is a history of his family, a partial history of
the 5th Mississippi Cavalry, the 22nd Mississippi Infantry, and the
30th Mississippi Infantry, and is a history of the war itself seen
through the eyes of Richard and his family. When news reached Black
Hawk, Mississippi, that Confederate troops in South Carolina had
fired on Fort Sumter, the men and boys of the village were excited
about the possibility of war with the North and bragged that if war
came, it wouldn't be long before the Yankees were defeated and sent
scurrying back home. The men and boys misunderstood what war would
be like, but Richard's wife, Eliza, didn't and her worst fears
would be realized as the war decimated her family. Eight days after
the surrender of Fort Sumter, a volunteer state militia company was
formed in Black Hawk. Richard's oldest son, a son-in-law, and two
future sons-in-law enlisted with the company. Richard's second son
ran away from home in February 1862 and joined the Confederate
Army. Eight months later, Richard left home for the war. Richard
and his family lived through the most tumultuous period in our
Nation's history. They experienced firsthand the hardships and
horrors of a nation at war with itself and it affected them for the
rest of their lives.
Emphasizes the importance of choosing the correct project and
defining This newly revised and expanded reference/text describes
the economics and organization of project development, from overall
venture managem ent to plant start-up, and considers offshore
endeavors, risk analysis, and environmental permits and
regulations. Projecting costs using t he chemical engineering plant
index, Planning, Estimating, and Control of Chemical Construction
Projects, Second Edition supplies a rational method for easy cost
projection and is a superb reference for cost, p roject, chemical,
civil, plant, mechanical, and industrial engineers; and project,
construction, and business managers; and an excellent tex t for
upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these discipl
ines.
"Equine Pharmacology" combines highly practical therapeutic
guidance with reliable scientific background information to provide
a clinically relevant resource. Taking a body systems approach to
the subject, the book offers the equine clinician with fast access
to drug options for a given disease, with additional information
available for reference as needed. Logically organized to lead the
reader through the clinical decision-making process, "Equine
Pharmacology" is a user-friendly reference for pharmacological
information in the horse. The book begins with a general review
section presenting the principles of antimicrobials, anesthesia,
analgesics, anti-parasitics, foals, fluid therapy, and drug and
medication control programs. The remainder of the book is devoted
to a body systems approach to therapeutics, allowing the reader to
search by affected system or specific disease to find detailed
advice on drug therapy. "Equine Pharmacology" is an invaluable
addition to the practice library for any clinician treating equine
patients.
Micronucleus is defined as the small nucleus that forms whenever a
chromosome or its fragment is not incorporated into one of the
daughter nuclei during cell division. It is concluded that
micronucleus assay can be used for risk prediction, screening,
diagnosis and treatment of various chronic diseases. In this
Micronucleus Assay: An Overview, the applications of micronucleus
assay will be discussed. Ionisating radiations, ultraviolet rays,
geogenic or anthropogenic pollutants can induce mutagenic,
teratogenic or carcinogenic effects due to the induction of micro
or macrolession over DNA. Several models have been used to measure
the mutagenic and clastogenic effect of such agents. As such, the
authors focus on one of these models: the micronucleus test. The
micronucleus test can assess abnormalities earlier in the drug
discovery pipeline, making structure/genotoxicity connection a
possible system for drug characterization. Additionally, the
authors provide knowledge about micronucleus assay and its usage in
occupational toxicology studies. It is now recognized as one of the
most successful and reliable assays for genotoxic carcinogens. The
authors go on to present an overview of the evaluation of
micronucleus assay by flow cytometry, reviewing the studies
published in the international literature so far that employ
different experimental designs for a variety of purposes. Humans
can become exposed to a variety of chemical substances that can
have adverse biological effects, and the sub-lethal genotoxicity
can have the most far reaching and severe consequences like cancer
or abnormal progeny as per the cell type involved. Hence, the
penultimate chapter focuses on the significance of identifying and
predicting potential genotoxic agents by using laboratory markers,
thus regulating and preventing exposure to cancer causing agents In
the concluding review, generation of micronucleus assay in the bone
marrow cells of mice induced by various clastogenic chemicals,
drugs, and radiation are elaborately elucidated. Bone marrow cells
are easily susceptible to oxidative damage and sensitive to various
clastogenic as well as aneugenic agents.
Building A Modern Financial System provides penetrating insights
into the upheavals in Indonesia, and explains the kinds of policies
that can lead to the development of a modern financial system in a
large, relatively underdeveloped country. The study covers all
facets of the financial system, emphasising the role of the
monetary authorities, the transition from government-dominated to a
predominantly private banking system, and the rapid expansion of
the capital market. Indonesia is a particularly interesting case
because its economy and financial system was in shambles in the
mid-1960s owing to political adventurism and economic
mismanagement. Until more recently sensible economic policies and
growth-promoting reforms provided a sound financial system and a
balanced expansion of agriculture and industry. However since the
mid-1990's the stability of the Indonesian system has once again
been called into question.

Asian Money Markets traces the evolution of money markets in seven
key economies of East and Southeast Asia: Hong Kong, Indonesia,
Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore. It asks how
government policy affected the performance of the markets over
several decades. Several very different approaches emerge, with
important consequences for financial sector development. Countries
pursuing market-oriented development strategies, including those in
transition from socialist to market economies, need effective
financial systems that include efficient money markets. This book
should dispel the view that a government can quickly develop money
markets; the most complex markets described here started with new
government policies more than twenty years ago, and are still
evolving to meet new challenges. Asian Money Markets will be of
interest to scholars of development finance, financial officials
and advisers, and anyone who wants to learn from the experience of
some of the most dynamic economies in the world.
