Awareness of the dangers of toxic components in antifouling
coatings has raised interest in the potential for nontoxic
alternatives. Marine organisms from bacteria to invertebrates and
plants use chemicals to communicate and defend themselves. This
book explores natural based antifoulants, their ecological
functions, methods of characterisation and possible uses in
antifouling. The text takes on the challenge of identifying such
compounds, designing sustainable production and incorporating them
into antifouling coatings.

Frankie Chasing Bear is caught between cultures. She wants to raise
her son Harold to revere his Lakota heritage, but she also thinks
he will need to learn the white man s ways to succeed. After the
untimely death of her husband, Frankie joins the U.S. Government s
Relocation Program and moves to Arizona. There she begins sewing a
Lakota Star pattern quilt for Harold with tribal wisdom sung, sewn,
and prayed into it.
A bed without a quilt is like a sky without stars, but neither
the quilt nor her new life comes easily to Frankie. Nick
Vandergriff, for instance, is the last man Frankie wants to trust.
He s half-Lakota but Christian, and Frankie can see no good coming
from that faith after her own parents were forced to convert at an
Indian school. Can Nick convince Frankie that white men and
Christians aren t all bad? And will Frankie learn that love is the
most important ingredient for her son s quilt and life itself?"
