The author has drawn together almost all published methods since 1975 on the determination of anions in all types of matrices. He presents the methods in a logical manner so that the reader can quickly gain access to the method and types of instrumentation available.
Considerable social changes are underway as more women, particularly mothers, enter and remain in paid employment. The authors explore these changes (which include an increase in dual-earner families, declining fertility, and growing problems of work-life 'balance'), both comparatively and specifically in a number of European countries (Britain, France, The Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Portugal). Original survey data, and qualitative evidence, is deployed in a series of cutting-edge chapters written by national and international experts.
As only a few books have been published on the matter of toxic materials in water it occurred to the author that a comprehensive volume dealing with all aspects of this subject was overdue. In this book there is a complete discussion of world literature on the determination of metals, non-metals, organic substances, organometallic com pounds, together with organic carbon parameters and radioactive elements in river, stream, lake and pond sediments, marine and estuarine sediments, river and sea fish, crustacea and molluscs, phytoplankton and sea and river weeds. Much very detailed work has been carried out on this subject over the past 20 years and a review of this work is timely in view of the increasing interest to chemists, environmentalists and others concerned with the quality of our environ ment. The presence of organic and inorganic substances in river and oceanic sediments is due in part to man-made pollution, and monitoring the levels of these substances in sediment and sediment core samples provides an indication of the time dependence of element concentration over large time spans. Contamination of sediments is found not only in rivers but also in estuarine sediments and sometimes in oceanic sedi ments, and this sediment analysis provides a means of tracking elements from their sources through the ecosystem."

Inequality in its many forms is becoming an ever greater problem in
modern society. The revised edition of this popular book explains
why it is so important to understand class and stratification, and
how the tools used to analyse these divisions can help us to
understand and confront problems of inequality.
This third edition of "Class and Stratification" has been
extensively revised, expanded and updated, incorporating
discussions of contemporary economic and social change. It includes
discussions of political and economic neoliberalism and its impacts
as well as developments in social theory, such as the emphasis on
'individualization' and the 'cultural turn'. New to this edition is
a chapter focusing on 'cultural' approaches to class analysis,
which together with established approaches are used to explore new
developments in social mobility, educational opportunity, and
social polarization.
The book will be essential reading for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students in the social sciences seeking to understand the changing face of social inequality. By highlighting the damage increasing inequality is causing to the social fabric, the book reveals the important part class continues to play in our lives today.
