The fifth edition of James Bonner's classic history of Georgia's
Antebellum capital features a new cover, an introduction by noted
historian Bob Wilson and a completely revised and expanded index. A
must-have for anyone with an interest in Milledgeville or the
Antebelleum South.
Citizenship in the nineteenth-century United States was an
ever-moving target. The Constitution did not specify its exact
meaning, leaving lawmakers and other Americans to struggle over the
fundamental questions of who could be a citizen, how a person
attained the status, and the particular privileges citizenship
afforded. Indeed, as late as 1862, U.S. Attorney General Edward
Bates observed that citizenship was "now as little understood in
its details and elements, and the question as open to argument and
speculative criticism as it was at the founding of the Government."
Black people suffered under this ambiguity, but also seized on it
in efforts to transform their nominal freedom. By claiming that
they were citizens in their demands for specific rights, they were,
Christopher James Bonner argues, at the center of creating the very
meaning of American citizenship. In the decades before and after
Bates's lament, free African Americans used newspapers, public
gatherings, and conventions to make arguments about who could be a
citizen, the protections citizenship entailed, and the obligations
it imposed. They thus played a vital role in the long, fraught
process of determining who belonged in the nation and the terms of
that belonging. Remaking the Republic chronicles the various ways
African Americans from a wide range of social positions throughout
the North attempted to give meaning to American citizenship over
the course of the nineteenth century. Examining newpsapers, state
and national conventions, public protest meetings, legal cases, and
fugitive slave rescues, Bonner uncovers a spirited debate about
rights and belonging among African Americans, the stakes of which
could determine their place in U.S. society and shape the terms of
citizenship for all Americans.
The widespread and increasing use of carbon nanotubes in scientific
and engineering research and their incorporation into manufactured
goods has urged an assessment of the risks and hazards associated
with exposure to them. The field of nanotoxicology studies the
toxicology of nanoparticles such as carbon nanotubes and has become
a major growth area aimed towards risk assessment of nanoparticles.
Compiled by a team of leading experts at the forefront of research,
this is the first book dedicated to the toxicology of carbon
nanotubes. It provides state-of-the-science information on how and
why they are so potentially dangerous if breathed in, including
their similarities to asbestos. The book examines various aspects
of carbon nanotubes, from their manufacture and aerodynamic
behaviour to their effects at molecular level in the lungs. It is
invaluable to the many groups involved with research in this area,
as well as to regulators and risk assessors.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and
practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the
extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases,
their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology,
agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even
cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled
