"The First Muirs of The Province of Quebec" is the first professional research effort to identify all of the early Muir's who arrived after the French and Indian War which ended in 1763. Their origins and relationships are explored and parents identified for the first time for some of them. Evidence is presented herein that the Two Millers, James and William Muir, were brothers and were possibly related to Adam and Archibald Muir. James and William's Scottish origins were discovered as were their siblings.

The Descendants of James Muir of Beloeil, Vercheres, Quebec, are documented through five generations to include all descendants that could be identified. Many of the spouses of these descendants and their parents were also identified for the first time. Many descendants migrated to Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut and Massachusetts to work in the mills that were springing up in the nineteenth century there.

The variation of French names which changed from record to record as well as the French custom of "dit" names were major challenges that had to be overcome in this research.

The descendants of Seth and John Yates documents for the first time the families of these two men using all extant records that could be located during an exhaustive search of early New England records. Seths children and grandchildren moved between Newport and Providence during the American Revolution and most of the descendants through to the early twentieth century were still found in New England except for his grandson Jonathan whose children moved to Michigan and Wisconsin and contained some very prominent individuals of their time. The daughters married into the Carder, Melvill, Burr, Cahoone, Cranston, Hammett, and other prominent Newport and Providence families. Johns line moved first to Uxbridge, Massachusetts, and within two more generations had spread to New York State, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa. These families were pioneers of their times, fought in the American Revolution, the Civil War, and participated in public affairs. One of Johns daughters married Shem Drown and his children have been documented with never before found records. His grandsons Amariah and Barzillai were pioneers in Genesee and Tioga counties, New York, leaving numerous descendants. Johns granddaughter Elizabeth married Benjamin Read and had a child who married her cousin, identified here for the first time.

Crime Scene Unit Management: A Path Forward is a must-have resource for anyone involved with forensic investigations and the search for evidence at the crime scene. The book provides standards for how to manage a crime scene so that evidence is collected and preserved without errors and includes guidelines for how to implement the standards and set up regional training programs for smaller jurisdictions with tighter budgets. Key features include examples, checklists, and flow charts for evidence handling and routing. CSIs, fire investigators, homicide investigators, accident investigators, police executives, and students of forensic science will benefit from this thorough approach to how the crime scene-and the personnel charged with tending to the evidence-should be managed.

The work of Crime Scene Investigators (CSIs) is made more complicated when the scene is contaminated by either Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives (CBRNEs) or Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs). Special considerations must be observed when working at such scenes, whether they are the result of acts of terrorism, accidents, or natural disasters. Practical Crime Scene Investigations for Hot Zones contains guidelines and best practices for keeping CSIs safe and conducting a thorough crime scene investigation in these deadly environments. A compilation of professional experiences and observations from CSIs who have encountered these challenges in the field, the book offers strategies for dealing with a host of scenarios. The expert contributors discuss practices and procedures validated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the FBI's Hazardous Materials Response Unit and Laboratory. Topics discussed include: * Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats encountered by CSIs and other personnel * Laws, regulations, and standards that apply to working in a hazardous environment * Equipment for personal protection and evidence recovery * Roles and responsibilities of personnel on the scene * Collecting, processing, and documenting evidence * Decontamination of the scene High consequence events (HCEs) have increased in recent years as terrorism and natural disasters have dominated the headlines. Enhanced with nearly 300 color photos, this one-stop reference supplies practical information to keep CSIs, first responders, HAZMAT technicians, incident commanders, and military and intelligence officials safe from the hazards they may encounter on the job.

In early March of 2020, Americans watched with uncertain terror as the “novel coronavirus� pandemic unfolded in the coastal cities of Seattle and Boston as well as around the world. No one in the heartland state of Ohio had been infected—as far as we knew, given the scarcity of tests. One week later, Ohio announced its first confirmed cases. Just one year later, the state had over a million cases and 18,000 Ohioans had died. What happened in the course of that first pandemic year is not only a story of a public health disaster, but also a story of social disparities and moral dilemmas, of lives and livelihoods turned upside down, and of institutions and safety nets stretched to their limits.  This volume tells the human story of COVID in Ohio, America’s “bellwether� state. Scholars and practitioners examine the pandemic response from multiple angles, and contributors from numerous walks of life offer moving first-person reflections. Two themes emerge again and again: how the pandemic revealed a deep tension between individual autonomy and the collective good, and how it exacerbated social inequalities. When COVID hit Ohio, it found a state divided along social, economic, and political lines. State leaders and health care institutions struggled to react to the growing emergency without much help from the federal government. Meanwhile, individuals and families were put under enormous stress. Many already marginalized and underserved communities were left behind.    Chapters address such varied topics as mask mandates, ableism, prisons, food insecurity, access to reproductive health care, and the need for more Black doctors. The book concludes with an interview with Dr. Amy Acton, the state’s top public health official at the time COVID hit Ohio.  Collectively, the volume captures the devastating impact of the pandemic, both in the public discord it has unearthed and in the unfair burdens it has placed on the groups least equipped to bear them.
