Nanomaterials' unique properties offer revolutionary means to
optimize a variety of products, including electronics, textiles,
paintings and coatings, pharmaceuticals, and personal care
products. However, these same properties mean that nanoscale
materials can behave differently in the human body and the
environment than conventional materials. Nanotechnology and the
Environment provides the fundamental basis needed to assess and
understand the life cycle of nanomaterials. It begins with a
general explanation of nanomaterials, their properties, and their
uses and describes the processes used to manufacture nanoscale
materials. Subsequent chapters furnish information on the analysis
of nanomaterials in the environment and their fate and transport,
including the effects of wastewater treatment on nanomaterials. The
book discusses possible risks to human health and the environment
and the environment, and describes developing regulations to manage
those risks. Given the potential risks, the book explores the
apparent paradox of using nanomaterials in environmental
remediation. The final chapter discusses frameworks for evaluating
the balance between risk and reward as nanomaterials are
manufactured, used and released to the environment.

Now available to an English-speaking audience, this book is a
comprehensive grammar of classical Nahuatl, the literary language
of the Aztecs. It offers students of Nahuatl a complete and clear
treatment of the language's structure, grammar and vocabulary. It
is divided into 35 chapters, beginning with basic syntax and
progressing gradually to more complex structures. Each grammatical
concept is illustrated clearly with examples, exercises and
passages for translation. A key is provided to allow students to
check their answers. By far the most approachable textbook of
Nahuatl available, this book will be an excellent teaching tool
both for classroom use and for readers pursuing independent study
of the language. It will be an invaluable resource to
anthropologists, ethnographers, historians, archaeologists and
linguists alike.
