Concern about acid deposition, commonly referred to as acid rain, as a widespread pollution problem with severe ecological consequences has heightened public awareness. Many authorities fear that acid deposition may be the worst environmental crisis of our industrialized society because of both the global implications and possible widespread, irreversible damage to lakes, soils, and forested ecosystems. Neither state nor international boundaries are exempt from the transport and deposition of airborne pollutants resulting from local and distant emission sources. The dilemma and debate will continue as long as society requires fossil fuels for its energy needs without regard to emission constraints. This book started as a modest attempt to provide a status report on atmospheric transport, the chemical processes which produce acidifying agents, and resultant ecological and economic consequences. The materials in this book have been substantially revised from those presented at the conference in 1983. It became obvious that additional chapters were required when sudden and profound changes occurring in European forests were reported. It is felt that perhaps such damages could be an early warning to forested ecosystems in the northeastern United States and Canada as well as other places throughout the world. Most importantly, it is essential that gained scientific knowledge be translated into required legislation - a section on Policy Issues was incorporated to address these concerns. It is hoped that the reader will become informed and concerned enough to be involved in ll this IIglobal debate. Donald D. Adams Halter P.

Angels of Light: A Trip Of Terror And Faith is about a man with a mysterious and tragic past and the incredible way that he finally comes to grips with it. It seems that Bill's past is a completely different life compared to the one he is enjoying now. The semi-retired Green Beret's memories of various covert operations and the sudden and tragic death of his wife Megan, is nothing but fleeting. He now lives a quiet life while being a good father to Jenny, his daughter and only surviving family member. Little does he know of the looming events through which he will learn that there is no escape from his past unresolved issues. Jenny gets kidnapped upon her first trip away from Bill's loving protection. It is no surprise that Bill unleashes every tool available to him to discover who abducted his one and only child. Former enlisted men who became a part of his life in Viet Nam now join forces with him to get Jenny back. The abductors hold Jenny captive until Bill's neighbor and friend who works for the government give them the codes that unlock a Pandora's box of the United States government's most classified information. Thus begins the mission through which a series of staggering revelations will take place that will resolve Bill's past, clarify his present, and ultimately change his life forever.
