This classic work by Poucher, first published in 1923, was last produced in three volumes titled, respectively The Raw Materials of Perfumery (seventh edition, 1974), The Production, Manufacture and Application of Perfumes (eighth edition, 1974) and Modern Cosmetics (eighth edition, 1974). Its popularity is well demonstrated by there having been three reprints of these editions in 1976, 1979 and 1984, respectively. The history of events can be traced by reference to the prefaces to earlier editions and those interested should study these with care since they give a fascinating insight into developments in the subject fields covered by Poucher's Perfumes, Cosmetics and Soaps over the years. It is not proposed to provide a resume here. In this Volume I, the current edition attempts to provide data about raw materials in a more formalized way than before, so that not only the history of some compounds can be checked, but also so that useful reference information can be obtained. It is particularly relevant to do this, since it is not always easy to be certain of nomenclature. Moreover, as we move towards 'ingredient labelling' (a trend not welcomed by some), a high level of uniformity will be needed. Whether this will come from adoption of CTFA terminology, use of CAS numbers or some other system is not clear. Where possible, such data have been included so that readers may identify materials more readily. Where given, CAS numbers are located in the top right-hand corner of each entry.

Aquatic Environmental Chemistry covers the composition and underlying properties of both freshwater and marine systems, and provides a sound basis for understanding both natural geochemical processes and the behaviour of inorganic pollutants in the environment. This clear and progressive introduction to the topic uses a wide range of examples to explain the behaviour of chemical species in aquatic systems.

Having been rescued from certain death by a dragon, Tan's quiet life is turned upside down when he begins travelling with Alton, the librarian. The man is so much more than just someone who reads dusty old books - he has magic at his fingertips! As his apprentice, Tan finds he has a great deal to learn in a very short period of time. With the aid of a young wolf-cat, they set off to try to stem the evil that is sweeping across the land. An unexpected coup in the castle means that Autumn, Tan's friend, must flee with her pony in the dark of the night to avoid capture. She has never been out of the village before.

After the shocking arrival of her new stepmother and horrid stepbrother, Elvie, an unloved princess, finds herself even more alone than ever before. The dreadful wounding of a young dragon changes her world forever along with that of the servant boy, Flint. To save the life of the dragon Flint has to make a promise to a rather scary witch woman known for her healing skills. The payment for her services is to swear that he will bring the young princess to the witch, but how he is going to achieve this is a mystery to him. Rumour says that the witch does not take well to broken promises. This is the beginning of a new friendship between two unlikely people whose adventures take them to secret places in the castle. There they discover they need to be one step ahead of an evil man with a black heart whose main aim in life is to capture a dragon. Elvie is shocked when the injured dragon tells her he too is lonely and he had been searching for her when he was brought down by the spear.

McDragon is a fantasy tale for children age 7 and over, which tells the story of Peter as he overcomes the taunts of the school bully. It's the day before the summer holiday, which means Peter will soon be free from bullying for 6 whole weeks. He and his family venture to the Isle of Harris to a remote cottage by a small beach to spend their holiday. There, Peter finds himself strangely drawn to some rocks on the shore that look just like a dragon. He climbs them so that he can pretend he is flying and is shocked when the rocks melt away and a magnificent black dragon emerges and speaks to him! McDragon has been waiting for the arrival of 'Petersmith' because the dragon seer has foretold that 'Petersmith' will find what has been stolen from the dragons. Peter accepts the challenge to help save the dragons from extinction and despite feeling that he is not really up to the task - after all, the school bully has branded him a cripple for as long as he can remember - he encounters some amazing creatures while on his quest, enjoying the sights and sounds of the Isle of Harris with his family. McDragon is an exciting read involving fabulous dragons, a young bullied boy, scary and mystical creatures like gargoyles and wizards, and it is all based in the beautiful, magical Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. This book will appeal to children who enjoy fantasy novels, and specifically the work of Christopher Paolini.

Modern US Army rotary wing aeromedical evacuation operations and doctrinal concepts can be traced back to the Korean and Vietnam Wars. These early concepts have formed the foundation for the current doctrine, structure, and employment of aeromedical evacuation assets on the battlefields of today. Aeromedical evacuation operations performed during the Korean and Vietnam Wars were executed in an exceptional manner. The medical personnel, hospital system, medical evacuation, and many other medical functions all contributed to the overall success of medical operations. The overall purpose of this research is to identify and describe the major historical operational factors of US Army rotary wing aeromedical evacuation system in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The successful operations of US Army rotary wing aeromedical evacuation system in each of these wars permit a historical comparison between them.
