An analysis of the first half of Francois Hollande's five-year
presidential term that examines the strengths and weaknesses of
presidential politics following the Left's return to power in 2012
and puts forward an interpretation of the underlying nature of
contemporary French politics, and the French Fifth Republic.

An important purpose of The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry is
to aid the understanding of distribution and chemical reaction
processes which occur in the environment. Volume 4, Part B of this
series is dedicated to Air Pollution Control Equipment, Materials
Damage, Peroxyacyl Nitrates, Semivolatile Compounds in the
Atmosphere, and Arctic Haze.
This volume brings together French and British scholars of France
to analyse one of French politics' most intellectually compelling
phenomena, the presidency of the republic. It examines the
strengths and weaknesses of that leadership as well as the way that
executive power has been established in the Fifth Republic; how
presidential power and the subsequent full scale development of
"personality politics" developed within an essentially
party-driven, democratic and, most importantly, republican system.
Hence the authors in this volume examine the phenomenon of a strong
presidency in the French republican framework. The individual
chapters focus on the presidency and upon the individual presidents
and the way in which they have addressed their own relation to the
presidencies they presided over on top of a range of other factors
informing their terms of office. A conclusion sums up and appraises
the contemporary role of the French presidency within the party
system and the republic. The project has generated a great deal of
interest in the French political studies community.
In the French Republic political leadership is normally provided by
the presidency, albeit from a very narrow constitutional base. This
volume examines the strengths and weaknesses of that leadership as
well as the way that executive power has been established in the
republican context.
Gaffney analyzes how de Gaulle came to power in 1958: The drama
surrounding the Fourth Republic's collapse, and the focus upon an
exceptional individual meant that de Gaulle was able to confer a
particular style of leadership on the Fifth Republic. The five
Presidents who came after him have each capitalized on their own
political 'persona.'

A modern guide to environmental chemistry Chemistry of
Environmental Systems: Fundamental Principles and Analytical
Methods offers a comprehensive and authoritative review of modern
environmental chemistry, discussing the chemistry and
interconnections between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere and
biosphere. Written by internationally recognized experts, the
textbook explores the chemistries of the natural environmental
systems and demonstrates how these chemical processes change when
anthropogenic emissions are introduced into the whole earth system.
This important text: Combines the key areas of environmental
chemistry needed to understand the sources, fates, and impacts of
contaminants in the environment Describes a range of environmental
analytical methodologies Explores the basic environmental effects
of energy sources, including nuclear energy Encourages a proactive
approach to environmental chemistry, with a focus on preventing
future environmental problems Includes study questions at the end
of each chapter Written for students of environmental chemistry,
environmental science, environmental engineering, geoscience, earth
and atmospheric sciences, Chemistry of Environmental Systems:
Fundamental Principles and Analytical Methods covers the key
aspects and mechanisms of currently identified environmental
issues, which can be used to address both current and future
environmental problems.

Over the course of a decade, a stream of credible scientific
reports from various government agencies, congressionally-mandated
commissions and federal research organizations have warned of the
grave vulnerability of our nation's most important asset: the
electric power grid. For millions of us, life in 21st Century
America would be all but impossible without access to electricity.
As this compendium of the government's own studies makes clear, the
protracted unavailability of the power required for all of our
critical infrastructures poses a truly existential threat to our
country and its people-unless we take practical and relatively
low-cost steps to prevent it.
We were given life to love God and others. Born in nature and to
a lost world with a determined enemy, few ever learn how to love.
Be still. Know Him who is love and wants to become love in you.
Living is a passage in time through a sea of relationships
without a map. Storms of confusion and conflict throw us off
course. Most will be lost in the sea. We cannot find our way alone.
The Word of God, the abiding Jesus and the Holy Spirit are with us
every moment, revealing and guiding us to love the way God
does.
By way of allegory, a metaphor about wild Maine blueberries, a
testimony and essay, the essential form of God's love is
illuminated in A Prophecy of Love to encourage and inspire you.
Partake of His greatest blessing and become a light for Him in your
life.

In August of 2004, an alert Maryland Transportation Authority
Police officer observed a woman wearing traditional Islamic garb
videotaping the support structures of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge,
and conducted a traffic stop. The driver was Ismail Elbarasse and
detained on an outstanding material witness warrant issued in
Chicago in connection with fundraising for Hamas.The FBI's
Washington Field Office subsequently executed a search warrant on
Elbarasse's residence in Annandale, Virginia. In the basement of
his home, a hidden sub-basement was found; it revealed over 80
banker boxes of the archives of the Muslim Brotherhood in North
America. One of the most important of these documents made public
to date was entered into evidence during the Holy Land Foundation
trial. It amounted to the Muslim Brotherhood's strategic plan for
the United States and was entitled, "An Explanatory Memorandum: On
the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America." The
Explanatory Memorandum was written in 1991 by a member of the Board
of Directors for the Muslim Brotherhood in North America and senior
Hamas leader named Mohammed Akram. It had been approved by the
Brotherhood's Shura Council and Organizational Conference and was
meant for internal review by the Brothers' leadership in Egypt. It
was certainly not intended for public consumption, particularly in
the targeted society: the United States. For these reasons, the
memo constitutes a Rosetta stone for the Muslim Brotherhood, its
goals, modus operandi and infrastructure in America. It is arguably
the single most important vehicle for understanding a secretive
organization and should, therefore, be considered required reading
for policy-makers and the public, alike.
The fifth volume of the Center for Security Policy's National
Security Policy Proceedings includes transcripts of remarks by
Michelle Van Cleave, Jeff Kueter, Ted Bromund, Mackenzie Eaglen,
Mark Groombridge, David Satter and Sarah Stern. It also includes
book reviews by Gordon Chang, Clare M. Lopez and Tom Blau.
On 8 April, 2010, President Obama and Russian President Medvedev
signed the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or "New START,"
lowering the limit on deployed strategic nuclear weapons by either
nation. The following week, President Obama hosted the Nuclear
Security Summit in Washington, D.C., the stated purpose of which
was to address "the threat of nuclear materials in the hands of
terrorists or criminals." Against this backdrop, three panels of
distinguished experts on nuclear policy convened in Washington,
D.C. to offer critical assessment of President Obama's nuclear
agenda-and weather it is compatible with maintaining an American
nuclear arsenal that can credibly, reliably, and effectively
address today's threats.
