Residential Exposure Assessment: A Source Book is the result of a
multiyear effort known as the Residential Exposure Assessment
Project (REAP) which was initiated by the Society for Risk Analysis
and the International Society of Exposure Analysis. This textbook
is the primary product of the REAP and it contains contributions
from over 30 professionals from a variety of disciplines such as
chemistry, biology, physics, engi neering, industrial hygiene,
toxicology, pharmacology, and environmental law, reflecting the
diverse knowledge and resources necessary to assess and manage
potential exposures occurring in and around the home. Expert
working groups were organized for each of the 13 chapters to
address such issues as U. S. legislation relevant to products used
in and around the residence, methods for measuring and modeling
exposures across multiple pathways and routes, and distributional
data available for key residential exposure factors. This volume is
a compendium of information about predictive methods and tools,
monitoring methods, data sources, and key variables that
characterize exposures in the residential setting. It presents
approaches for doing exposure assessments in and around all types
of residences. The purpose of the Source Book is to provide a
resource for use in educational programs and for "practitioners" of
residential exposure assessment. Accordingly, this book is intended
for risk assessors, exposure assessors, students, initi ates new to
the concept of risk assessment, industrial hygienists assessing
health hazards in the home, engineers, and monitoring specialists."
Tracing the history of the category of antisocial personality disorder, this study reveals its emergence is linked to particular kinds of governing, rather than simply to advances in the human sciences or a means of social control. David McCallum examines key legal and institutional developments in Australia, the U.K, and the U.S. as well as parallel developments within psychiatry and psychological medicine. Applying a social theoretical analysis to this material, he challenges our assumptions about the formation and control concepts of dangerousness and personality.
First Published in 1990. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &

This book provides a reference tool for the increasing number of
scientists whose research is related to sensor network security. It
is organised into sections, each including chapters exploring a
specific topic. Topics covered include network design and modeling,
network management, data management, security and applications.
Australian education, like the society which it serves, is
characterized by fundamental social differences and inequalities.
This book confronts the more mundane practices and theories which
produced modern systems of education. Rather than looking at the
grand informing values of liberalism which were supposed to have
guided education planners, the book focuses on the practical
administration of the school population and its attempts to produce
an efficient and outwardly fair structure of educational provision
for all sections of the population.

1950s drama in which a detective is reassigned to the position of
Juvenile Liaison Officer for the city of Liverpool and sets about
tackling youth crime. Truman (Stanley Baker) is initially unhappy
with his new position, feeling that it will thwart his attempts to
catch the arsonist doing a great deal of damage to the city. Things
improve when he meets and falls in love with Cathie Murphy (Anne
Heywood) through the misbehaviour of her younger siblings. However,
the misdemeanours of the older brother of the Murphy family,
Johnnie (David McCallum), are of a more serious nature and Truman
will have to use all of his personal and policing skills to try and
keep the family together.
The Palgrave Handbook of the History of Human Sciences offers a
uniquely comprehensive and global overview of the evolution of
ideas, concepts and policies within the human sciences. Drawn from
histories of the social and psychological sciences, anthropology,
the history and philosophy of science, and the history of ideas,
this collection analyses the health and welfare of populations,
evidence of the changing nature of our local communities, cities,
societies or global movements, and studies the way our humanness or
'human nature' undergoes shifts because of broader technological
shifts or patterns of living. This Handbook serves as an
authoritative reference to a vast source of representative
scholarly work in interdisciplinary fields, a means of
understanding patterns of social change and the conduct of
institutions, as well as the histories of these 'ways of knowing'
probe the contexts, circumstances and conditions which underpin
continuity and change in the way we count, analyse and understand
ourselves in our different social worlds. It reflects a critical
scholarly interest in both traditional and emerging concerns on the
relations between the biological and social sciences, and between
these and changes and continuities in societies and conducts, as
21st century research moves into new intellectual and geographic
territories, more diverse fields and global problematics.
