Comprehensive Biomaterials II, Second Edition, Seven Volume Set
brings together the myriad facets of biomaterials into one
expertly-written series of edited volumes. Articles address the
current status of nearly all biomaterials in the field, their
strengths and weaknesses, their future prospects, appropriate
analytical methods and testing, device applications and
performance, emerging candidate materials as competitors and
disruptive technologies, research and development, regulatory
management, commercial aspects, and applications, including medical
applications. Detailed coverage is given to both new and emerging
areas and the latest research in more traditional areas of the
field. Particular attention is given to those areas in which major
recent developments have taken place. This new edition, with 75%
new or updated articles, will provide biomedical scientists in
industry, government, academia, and research organizations with an
accurate perspective on the field in a manner that is both
accessible and thorough.
COINTELPRO. An acronym for Counterintelligence Program, this is
the code name the FBI gave to the secret operations aimed at five
major social and political protest groups--the Communist party, the
Socialist Workers Party, the Ku Klux Klan, black nationalist hate
groups, and the New Left movement. Spying on America, the first
book to chronicle all five of the operations, tells the story of
how the FBI, from 1956 until COINTELPRO's exposure in 1971,
expanded its domestic surveillance programs and increasingly
employed questionable, even unlawful, methods in an effort to
disrupt what amounts to virtually our entire social and political
protest movement. Violations of citizens' constitutional rights
were rampant, and the secret operations actually resulted in a
number of deaths. At the time, neither the public nor the news
media knew anything about COINTELPRO. In vivid detail, Spying on
America demonstrates that the system of checks and balances
designed to prevent such occurrences was simply not
functioning--until an illegal act uncovered the secret
activities.
The book opens with the daring raid of a Media, Pennsylvania FBI
office by a group that adeptly used its booty--about 1,000
classified documents--to make COINTELPRO operations public. The
burglars, who called themselves the Citizen's Commission to
Investigate the FBI, used sophisticated methods (the FBI never
caught up with them), releasing copies of incriminating documents
to the media at carefully timed intervals. Spying on America draws
on newspaper and magazine articles, interviews with many of the
people involved, and FBI memos to trace the historical beginnings
and operating methods of COINTELPRO efforts against each of the
five targeted groups. In vivid detail, the author re-creates the
reactions of the bureau--including the subsequent policy
changes--as well as the response of the news media and the
resulting shift in public attitudes toward the FBI. Finally, Davis
looks at the possibility of similar operations in the future. In
the context of our current, heightened state of socio-political
awareness, it is difficult to comprehend how so many unlawful deeds
could have been committed without the public's knowledge. Spying on
America makes us aware of how easily such activities can occur--and
in doing so, helps us prevent them from happening again.
