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.Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others. Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses. ++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Some of the more difficult environmental problems facing the
Department of Defense (DOD) include (1) chemical weapons
destruction, (2) explosive waste remediation, and (3) unexploded
ordnance clearance and extraction. It is conceivable that $50 to
$100 billion will be spent by DOD for these three programs,
offering unusual opportunities for environmental engineering and
related firms.
One of the largest, most complicated and expensive environmental problems in the United States is the cleanup of nuclear wastes. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has approximately 4,000 contaminated sites covering tens of thousands of acres and replete with contaminated hazardous or radioactive waste, soil, or structures. In addition to high-level waste, it has more than 250,000 cubic meters of transuranic waste and millions of cubic meters of low-level radioactive waste. In addition, DOE is responsible for thousands of facilities awaiting decontamination, decommissioning, and dismantling. DOE and its predecessors have been involved in the management of radioactive wastes since 1943, when such wastes were first generated in significant quantities as by-products of nuclear weapons production. Waste connected with DOE's nuclear weapons complex has been accumulating as a result of various operations spanning over five decades. The cost estimates for nuclear waste cleanup in the United States have been rapidly rising. It has recently been estimated to be in a range from $200 to $350 billion. Costs could vary considerably based on future philosophies as to whether to isolate certain sites (the "iron fence" philosophy), or clean them up to a pristine condition (the "greenfields" philosophy). Funding will also be based on Congressional action that may reduce environmental cleanup, based on budget considerations. The technologies discussed in this book include the following: (1) Processes currently being utilized; (2) Technology in the demonstration phase; (3) Processes being developed; (4) Research needs. The book presents extensive information that would be helpful to thosefirms wishing to participate in DOE programs. In Appendix II, ad-dresses, and telephone numbers of the important sites are indicated. Also, foreign nuclear contacts (with a description of their activities) are presented in Appendix III, for 24 countries. The substantial amount of money that will be spent on nuclear waste cleanup offers an excellent opportunity for engineering, equipment, chemical, instrument, and other firms.
This book discusses the practical aspects of environmental
technology organized into eight chapters relating to unit
operations as follows: Examples of subjects discussed in selected chapters include:
Technical information relating to current and potential pollution prevention and waste minimization techniques in 36 industries, with many opportunities for cross-utilization. When Wastes are reduced or eliminated, substantial economies can be realized by reduced expenditures for pollution control equipment, and lower treatment and disposal costs. Other considerations include lessened liability problems, and improved public image. The thousands of items of technological advice in the book make it a valuable reference source.
This handbook provides a comprehensive and thorough overview of technology for pollution control processes. It will be of interest to those engineers, consultants, educators, architects, planners, government officials, industry executives, attorneys, students, and others concerned with solving environmental problems. The pollution control processes are organized into chapters by broad problem areas, and appropriate technology for decontamination, destruction, isolation, etc., for each problem area is presented. Since many of these technologies are useful for more than one problem area, a specific technology may be included in more than one chapter, modified to suit the specific considerations involved.The pollution control processes described are those that are actively used today, as well as those innovative and emerging processes that have good future potential. An important feature of the book is that advantages and disadvantages of many processes are cited. Also, in many cases, regulatory-driven trends are discussed which will impact the technology used in the future.
Provides technical guidance to prevent leaks, spills, or other accidental releases of hazardous substances from fixed facilities.
