This book is an opinionated "I-made-you-think" without "how-do-you-see-it." It is a mixture of surprising profundity and foolishness. Many categories, sayings, and scriptures are interchangeable. This book has a religious spin but is intended to help everyone focus on humble and persevering thoughts in life.

"The Ambivalent Welcome" describes how leading magazines and the New York Times covered and interpreted U.S. immigration policy, and public attitudes about the impact of immigrants on the American economy and social fabric. Rita J. Simon and Susan H. Alexander examine print media coverage of immigration issues from 1880, the onset of the new immigration, to the present, and find that most magazines, like most Americans, have vehemently opposed new immigrants.

Part One begins with a chapter providing statistics on the number of immigrants and refugees by country of origin from 1810 to 1990, and estimates of the number of illegals who have entered the United States. Chapter 2 discusses U.S. immigration acts and summarizes the major political party platforms on immigration from the mid-nineteenth century through the present. Results of all national poll data regarding immigrants and refugees since the availability of such data (1930s) are reported in Chapter 3. Part Two discusses in detail particular magazines, including "North American RevieW," "Saturday Evening Post," "Literary Digest, Harper'S," "Scribner's, Atlantic Monthly," "The Nation," "Christian Century," "Commentary," "Commonweal," "Reader's Digest," "Time," "Life," "Newsweek," "U.S. News and World Report," and the editorials of the "New York TimeS." Following a summary chapter, Appendix A provides a profile of each of the magazines, including the date of its founding, its editors and publishers, circulation, characteristics of its readers, and an assessment of its influence on immigration. Appendix B describes the major American anti-immigration movements.

A pioneer in the field of behavioral medicine, the late Thomas H. Holmes developed a set of scales that measured the impact of life changes and events on a person's health, particularly stress-related disorders. This volume collects for the first time the key research studies that emanated from the Holmes laboratory at the University of Washington from 1957 through 1981. Designed to serve as a reference book and a resource for students and scholars interested in life change research, "Life Change, Life Events, and IllnesS" provides ready access to the historical record of the Holmes psychosocial laboratory. For archival purposes, editorial revisions have been undertaken only to correct errata, update references, and establish stylistic conformity.

The first chapter, written specifically for this volume, places the work of the Holmes laboratory in historical context, probes the beginning of Holme's research hypothesis in studies of the physiology of emotions, and outlines the direction of his research program. The first group of readings review the development, testing, and validation of three innovative research instruments: The Social Readjustment Rating Scale, the Seriousness of Illness Rating Scale, and the Schedule of Recent Experience. Subsequent chapters reconstruct the initial applications of methodologies developed by Holmes and his colleagues, culminating in the formulation of a paradigm for the relationship of life change and illness susceptibility. The final papers illustrate the realms into which life change research expanded in the last decade of Holme's tenure at the laboratory.

This other side of the story is the first to show how waste products contribute positively to the economy, and to place garbage in perspective when considering the total use of America's resources. Alexander comes to this subject with 40 years of experience in making and recycling disposable products and in studying litter and municipal waste issues. He sees the garbage crisis as a political, not a physical, problem and introduces a non-cash national solution. He deals with popular misconceptions about the quantity and growth of garbage, resource consumption, forest productivity, packaging, disposal taxes, landfills, incineration and recycling. Written for open-minded lay readers, policymakers, professionals, and serious-minded students, this is an important contribution to the study of our current environmental situation.

Alexander proposes that the problem does not necessarily lie with the quantity of our resources, population growth, affluence, or with space or pollution, but rather with politics, fear, and misinformation. Alexander offers a survey of the history of garbage, considers the quantity and contents of the waste, and provides us with ways to save our nonrenewable resources. Especially compelling is the discussion of the characteristics and products of our throwaway society. Also covered is the role of packaging, measures for source reduction, the promise and problems of recycling different types of material, biodegradation, compost and litter, and the collection and disposal of municipal solid waste. In Defense of Garbage is about the politics of garbage. Reading this eye-opening book is a sure way to become part of the solution to one of the most hotly-debated problems in the world today.

This book is a detailed manual of the e-cigarette. But along with hard facts, personal experiences also provide the stimulus for this publishing effort. I have been puffing cigarettes as long as I can remember, and it was inevitable that I would not only contract a sinus, but also go through a throat surgery. Undergoing the medical procedure, I was strictly warned not to smoke for a week. Since I had no other choice, I figured out that after 29 long years, the time had come for me to say goodbye to smoking. And then I saw an ad for e-cigarettes on the internet. The particular one I saw was an ego tank type, and at that time I was simply confused as to what it really was. But somehow I managed to order it along with 18 mg strength nicotine, and I received it the next day. I took the first puff and had an epiphany The product was clean and had a superb taste. I was getting my dose of nicotine without taking in the bad stuff like tar and other carcinogens. The best part is that I could smoke at home, and anywhere else for that matter. And so I have been using e-cigarettes ever since. All the material in this book comes from my personal experience. In this 2nd Edition I updated the book and the information as this is an ever changing industry and new e cigarette devices are coming out every so often. "If I could, I would've left this e-book a 10-stars rating for offering the most complete and informative account on the best electronic cigarette kits available on the market today. "This guide enlightened me and provided me a whole lot of knowledge that personally helped me pick the right e-Cig kit and liquid for me. Now, that is stellar Thanks, Shane : )" Lynzki
