This book is a current, comprehensive and holistic assessment of
the challenges facing a developing African state within the global
context and is an up-to-the-minute review of the state of the South
African environment. From bio-diversity to GM crops, from policies
to attitudes, this insightful view is presented in James Clarke's
accessible and entertaining manner. He looks at air, water (incl.
marine), soil, nature conservation, urban environment, population
dynamics (incl. AIDS) and solid waste management. The 'soil'
chapters examine forestry and natural forests, erosion, pesticides
including South Africa's return to using DDT, and battles with
locusts. The urban chapter looks optimistically at urbanisation
both globally and locally.

Francis, an informa company.
Legions of bluegrass fans know the name Otto Wood (1894-1930) from
a ballad made popular by Doc Watson, telling the story of Wood's
crimes and his eventual end at the hands of the local sheriff.
However, few know the history of this Appalachian figure beyond the
larger-than-life version heard in song. Trevor McKenzie
reconstructs Wood's life, tracing how a Wilkes County juvenile
delinquent became a celebrated folk hero. Throughout his short
life, he was jailed for numerous offenses, stole countless
automobiles, lost his left hand, and escaped state prison at least
four times after a 1923 murder conviction. An early master of
controlling his own narrative in the media, Wood appealed to the
North Carolina public as a misunderstood, clever antihero. In 1930,
after a final jailbreak, police killed Wood in a shootout. The
ballad bearing his name first appeared less than a year later.
Using reports of Wood's exploits from contemporary newspapers, his
self-published autobiography, prison records, and other primary
sources, McKenzie uses this colorful story to offer a new way to
understand North Carolina and the South during this era of American
history.

New designer drugs, access to databases, and changing availability
of samples for analysis have changed the face of modern forensic
toxicology in recent years. Forensic Toxicology: Drug Use and
Misuse brings together the latest information direct from experts
in each sub-field of the discipline providing a broad overview of
current thinking and the most innovative approaches to case
studies. The text begins with an in-depth discussion of pharmaco
epidemiology, including information on the value of nationwide
databases in forensic toxicology. The use and abuse of drugs in
driving, sport and the workplace are then discussed by industry
experts who are conducting case work in their field. Not only are
new drug groups discussed (NPS), but also their constantly changing
impact on drug legislation. Synthetic cannabinoids, khat and
mephodrone are discussed in detail. Following a section devoted to
legislation and defence, readers will find comprehensive chapters
covering sample choice reflecting the increasing use of hair and
oral fluid, and also the less commonly used sweat and nail
analysis. New and old case examples are compared and contrasted in
the final part of the book, which will enable readers to understand
how drugs impact on each other and how the interpretative outcome
of a case are dependent on many aspects. From use of pharmaceutical
drugs in a clinical setting, through smart drugs to new
psychoactive drugs, this book documents the wide range in which
drugs today are abused. This book will be an essential resource for
postgraduate students in forensic toxicology, and for researchers
in forensic toxicology laboratories who need the latest data and
knowledge.
