Chirality as an environmental phenomenon was dealt with in a
thorough and interesting manner in a series of three symposia
entitled "Modern Chiral Pesticides: Enantioselectivity and Its
Consequences," sponsored by the Agrochemical Division of the
American Chemical Society and held in Washington, DC (2005),
Boston, MA (2007) and San Francisco, CA (2010). All three symposia
included speakers from industry, government and academia,
representing several European countries, China, and the United
States. Corresponding to this broad group of countries,
institutions and speakers, the range of topics touched on almost
all facets of chirality as it is manifested in environmental and
human exposure and toxicity. The 40 oral and 20 poster
presentations indeed approached comprehensive coverage: analysis of
enantiomers and other stereoisomers; preparative separation of
enantiomers; stereoselective occurrences of chiral pesticides in
environment soil and water and in wildlife and human tissues and
fluids; stereoselective degradation and metabolism of chiral
pesticides; and stereoselective toxicity.
This book is a result of manuscript contributions by some of the
oral and poster presenters to the third symposium in 2010. In
addition to symposium participants, invitations were extended to
the environmental chiral chemistry community in general, including
most of the speakers in the 2005 and 2007 symposia, in an attempt
to attain good coverage of this rather broad topic. Thus, this ACS
Symposium book will generate many new ideas from interested readers
and inform them of useful techniques for experimental exploration
of the somewhat exotic, but important, area of chiral chemistry of
pesticides.
There have been books written in the past purporting to expose the
secrets of Freemasonry. By and large these have been written by
non-Masons and have generally been somewhat negative and
antagonistic towards Freemasons and Freemasonry; missing critical
nuances and making unjustified assumptions. There have also been
books written by Freemasons and aimed primarily at new Freemasons,
as an introduction to Freemasonry, and as such have tended to go
over the heads of non-Masons. This book is written by a Freemason
specifically for the non-Mason. It does not set out in any way to
proselytise, neither does it attempt to justify the case for
Freemasonry nor to try and make Freemasonry more acceptable or
sanitised. Indeed having read the book a reader may well still
continue to be left antagonistic towards Freemasonry but at least
will be better informed and know the reasons why.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
A revelatory look back at the convulsions at the end of the Reagan
era—and their dark legacy today.
With the Soviet Union extinct, Saddam Hussein defeated, and U.S. power
at its zenith, the early 1990s promised a “kinder, gentler America.”
Instead, it was a period of rising anger and domestic turmoil,
anticipating the polarization and resurgent extremism we know today.
In When the Clock Broke, the acclaimed political writer John Ganz tells
the story of America’s late-century discontents. Ranging from upheavals
in Crown Heights and Los Angeles to the advent of David Duke and the
heartland survivalists, the broadcasts of Rush Limbaugh, and the bitter
disputes between neoconservatives and the “paleo-con” right, Ganz
immerses us in a time when what Philip Roth called the “indigenous
American berserk” took new and ever-wilder forms. In the 1992 campaign,
Pat Buchanan's and Ross Perot’s insurgent populist bids upended the
political establishment, all while Americans struggled through
recession, alarm about racial and social change, the specter of a new
power in Asia, and the end of Cold War–era political norms. Conspiracy
theories surged, and intellectuals and activists strove to understand
the “Middle American Radicals” whose alienation fueled new causes.
Meanwhile, Bill Clinton appeared to forge a new, vital center, though
it would not hold for long.
In a rollicking, eye-opening book, Ganz narrates the fall of the Reagan
order and the rise of a new and more turbulent America.

This book sets out to review the shepherd metaphor and raise the
question whether the metaphor should be the basis of the pastoral
and leadership models that are derived from the image of the
shepherd, and whether such models can be enriched by the analysis
of the said metaphor as applied to the implementation of the
shepherding responsibility described in the Old Testament. It
utilizes rhetorical criticism in consultation with metaphorical
theory to examine the given metaphor used in the models of pastoral
and leadership roles and their relationship with the shepherd
metaphor in the New Testament with the objective to both explore
the use of the shepherd metaphor in the Old Testament and examine
the use of the shepherd metaphor in pastoral and leadership models.
This includes pointing out that some of these models rely heavily
on their understanding of New Testament uses of this metaphor, and
this in turn leads to comparing the Old Testament and
pastoral/leadership models' uses of the shepherd metaphor and draws
conclusions based on this comparison.
