Biological Effects of Low-Level Exposures, more commonly referred
to as BELLE, began as a conference in May 1990. Its members are
committed to the enhanced understanding of low-dose responses of
all types to human exposures to chemical and physical agents,
whether of an expected or paradoxical nature.
The focus of BELLE encompasses dose-response relationships to toxic
agents, pharmaceuticals, and natural products over wide dosage
ranges in both in vitro systems and in vivo systems, including
human populations. While BELLE promotes the scientific
understanding of low-level effects, its primary goal is the
scientific evaluation of existing literature and ways to improve
research and assessment methods.
This book brings together eastern and western scholarship on a
controversial subject: a catastrophic inundation of the Pontic
basin which might have inspired the biblical story of Noah's flood.
In 35 papers, many previously unavailable in English, experts in
oceanography, marine geology, paleoclimate, paleoenvironment,
archaeology, and linguistic spread offer data and arguments for or
against the flood hypothesis. Appendices include 600 radiocarbon
dates from the region, obtained by USSR and western labs.
This book contains the proceedings of a symposium held at the
College of Charleston, Charleston, South Carolina, USA, 16-20 June
1986. The seed for this symposium arose from a group of
physiologists, soil scientists and biochemists that met in
Leningrad, USSR in July 1975 at the 12th Botanical Conference in a
Session organized by Professor B. B * Vartepetian. This group and
others later conspired to contribute to a book entitled Plant Life
in Anaerobic Environments (eds. D.D. Hook and R.M.M. Crawford, Ann
Arbor Science, 1978). Several contributors to the book suggested in
1983 that a broad-scoped symposium on wetlands would be useful (a)
in facilitating communication among the diverse research groups
involved in wetlands research (b) in bringing researchers and
managers together and (c) in presenting a com-: prehensive and
balanced coverage on the status of ecology and management of
wetlands from a global perspective. With this encouragement, the
senior editor organized a Plan ning Committee that encompassed
expertise from many disciplines of wetland scientists and managers.
This Committee, with input from their colleagues around the world,
organized a symposium that addressed almost every aspect of wetland
ecology and management.

Stimulated by Noah's Flood Hypothesis proposed by W. Ryan and W.
Pitman in which a catastrophic inundation of the Pontic basin was
linked to the biblical story, leading experts in Black Sea research
(including oceanography, marine geology, paleoclimate,
paleoenvironment, archaeology, and linguistic spread) provide
overviews of their data and interpretations obtained through
empirical scientific approaches. Among the contributors are many
East European scientists whose work has rarely been published
outside of Cyrillic. Each of the 35 papers marshals its own
evidence for or against the flood hypothesis. No summary or overall
resolution to the flood question is presented, but instead access
is provided to a broad range of interdisciplinary information that
crosses previously impenetrable language barriers so that new work
in the region can proceed with the benefit of a wider frame of
reference.
Based on Dr. Wrighta (TM)s classic major reference, Handbook of
Pediatric Neuroophthalmology outlines the latest findings in
diagnosing children's eye diseases and their treatment options.
Distilling the essentials of ocular manifestations of pediatric
neuroophthalmologic disorders and diseases into a portable,
complete and authoritative pocket reference, this handbook offers a
complete picture of how to best treat pediatric patients.
Specifically, the introductory chapters on the specifics of
pediatric ophthalmology (embryology, post-natal development and the
pediatric exam) will help newcomers to pediatric practice fully
grasp the subtle differences in pediatric care. The chapters are
written by leading experts in the field and are presented in a
user-friendly format, relying on heavily illustrated in color
plates, clinically helpful tables, charts, and decision-making
guidelines. This approach will enable the practitioner (whether
specialist or generalist) to make the most accurate diagnosis and
choose the most effective treatment option.

Warren S. Gilbert grew up on the streets of Chicago, and no one
expected him to accomplish much. Even so, his athleticism paved the
way for him to attend Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, and his
intellect led him to Rush Medical College. While most people would
have been happy with graduating and becoming a successful
physician, he grew bored and moved to Nevada for a fresh start.
But as time passed, he sought more meaning out of life - and he
found it when various branches of the armed services began calling.
With his country seeking help from qualified doctors and terrorism
on the rise, he joined the US Naval Reserve.
But everything changed when terrorists attacked the United
States on September 11, 2001. What was supposed to have been a
detour turned into a career that would lead to some of his most
memorable and meaningful moments.
Join Gilbert as he looks back at serving his country, fighting
terrorists, and excelling as a member of the US Naval Reserve and
then as a physician serving with the Marine Corps. It was all part
of pulling double duty as a rifleman and doctor.
