The identification and quantification of the widespread occurrence of trace organic chemicals at minute concentrations in the aqueous environment impacted by human activities is a result of rapid advances in environmental analytical chemistry. The body of knowledge regarding the characterization, fate and transport of these chemicals of emerging concern (CECs) in the natural water environment and engineered water treatment processes, as well as their toxicity, has grown substantially over the last two decades. Recently, the focus in the environmental chemistry community has shifted from these CEC parent compounds to the fate, transport, and toxicity of transformation products, which are generated through abiotic and biotic mechanisms in natural systems and during engineered advanced water treatment processes. This two-part book focuses on the studies and recent advancements towards the development of more harmonized strategies and workflows using non-target and suspects screening methods, including suitable bioassay approaches to assess the overall relevance of transformation products. Volume I covers the relevance of transformation products and international strategies to manage CECs, new methods for a comprehensive assessment of transformation products, and the fate and transport of transformation products in natural systems. This book is ideal for environmental scientists and engineers, particularly chemists, environmental engineers, public health officials, regulators, other chemistry-related professionals, and students.

Knives Out meets Belladonna in this gorgeously gothic queer YA horror and dark romance about an inherited estate, murderous relatives, and a garden with a taste for blood, from the New York Times bestselling author of Don't Let the Forest In and The Boy Who Steals Houses.

Evander has lived like a ghost in the forgotten corners of the Hazelthorn estate ever since he was taken in by his reclusive billionaire guardian.

He can never leave, he can never go in the gardens and he can never be alone with Laurie, the boy who tried to kill him seven years ago.

But when his guardian is murdered and Evander inherits Hazelthorn, Laurie may be the only one who can help him find the killer.

As dark secrets unravel, moss bleeds though the walls, poisonous mushrooms flourish beneath the floorboards, and Evander must discover what he's really inherited before Hazelthorn's garden demands to be fed.

Few conversational topics can be as significant as our troubles in life, whether everyday and commonplace, or more exceptional and disturbing. In groundbreaking research conducted with John Lee at the University of Manchester UK, Gail Jefferson turned the microscope on how people talk about their troubles, not in any professional or therapeutic setting, but in their ordinary conversations with family and friends. Through recordings of interactions in which people talk about problems they're having with their children, concerns about their health, financial problems, marital and relationship difficulties (their own or other people's), examination failures, dramatic events such as burglaries or a house fire and other such troubles, Jefferson explores the interactional dynamics and complexities of introducing such topics, of how speakers sustain and elaborate their descriptions and accounts of their troubles, how participants align and affiliate with one another, and finally manage to move away from such topics. The studies Jefferson published out of that remarkable period of research have been collected together in this volume. They are as insightful and informative about how we talk about our troubles, as they are innovative in the development and application of Conversation Analysis. Gail Jefferson (1938-2008) was one of the co-founders of Conversation Analysis (CA); through her early collaboration with Harvey Sacks and in her subsequent research, she laid the foundations for what has become an immensely important interdisciplinary paradigm. She co-authored, with Harvey Sacks and Emanuel Schegloff, two of the most highly cited articles ever published in Language, on turn-taking and repair. These papers were foundational, as was the transcription system that she developed and that is used by conversation analysts world-wide. Her research papers were a distinctive and original voice in the emerging micro-analysis of interaction in everyday life.
