Examines endocrine toxicologya (TM)s increased importance in environmental safety issues due to legislative directives established over the past ten years.

With contributions by international experts in academia, chemical manufacturing, government research laboratories, regulatory agencies, and private consulting, this guide explores the potentially damaging influence of environmental agents on the endocrine system.

Covering all principal areas of EPA concern, Endocrine Toxicology, Third Edition provides:

• putative endocrine disruptors and mechanisms of endocrine toxicity
• the history and status of the regulatory process
• mechanisms of toxic effects in various hormonal systems
• comparisons of the endocrine responses in humans, livestock, and wildlife
• testing methods in mammalian, fish, avian, and amphibian models
• valuable insight into the approaches of various personnel in the field, including: government officials who make and oversee policy; scientists in charge of development and validation of testing methods; basic researchers who identify toxic mechanisms; and manufacturers responsible for environmentally benign product certification

The primary goal of science is to "get it right," meaning that scientists seek to accurately document the world as it is. While erroneous conclusions and flawed theories can and do occur, they can only be tolerated as long as reliable mechanisms of self-correction exist, but an array of recent evidence suggests that this is not always the case. This book offers a behavioral science perspective on how scientific practice becomes compromised and provides recommendations for improvement. Broadening the discussion of research integrity beyond replication, publication biases, statistics, and methods, this book addresses the full complexity of the issue and serves academics and policy makers concerned with the reliability and validity of scientific findings across the social sciences. It tackles challenges presented by published reports and textbooks, addresses the ways that institutional review boards (IRBs) can influence the course of research, and discusses the weaknesses of meta-analysis, which is often recommended as a possible corrective measure for suboptimal scientific practice. The book concludes with an organizing framework to investigate how scientists' behaviors can impact the reliability and validity of scientific research.

My name is Julie, and I am the last person alive on this island. I am what you might call shipwrecked, except for the fact that I came here on an airplane. I guess that makes me plane-wrecked, or just wrecked, or something. What matters, is the fact that I am here, and I have no way of leaving. Ever... After I arrived here, one night, everything changed. It wasn't guns or bombs. It wasn't tanks and artillery that killed. It was inevitable. A virus either mutated or was created that had no antidote, and it spread worldwide. As days turned into weeks, and then into months, the virus showed no signs of abating. Entire countries were dying or had died. Civilization didn't go out with a bang, as many thought it would, it died with a whimper. Follow me along as I faces the trials and problems of waking up and surviving on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. An island 3,000 miles from the continental United States. 3,000 miles from home... I hope whoever reads this doesn't mind, but I have to write down what's been going on before I go. My future prospects are grim at best. I can expect to die here from malnutrition or starvation, if not something worse. I will die alone, as it may be 100 or more years before anyone ever comes here again. Assuming there is anybody else alive out there.

One night, everything changed. It wasn't guns or bombs. It wasn't tanks and artillery that killed. It was inevitable. A virus either mutated or was created that had no antidote, and it spread worldwide. As days turned into weeks, and then into months, the virus showed no signs of abating. Entire countries were dying or had died. Civilization didn't go out with a bang, as many thought it would, it died with a whimper. Follow an average young lady along, in the third book of the "Tales of New Hope" series, as she goes from surviving in a St. Louis suburb, to walking the Oregon Trail in search of a brighter future.

Entire countries were dying or had died. Civilization didn't go out with a bang, as many thought it would, it died with a whimper. Somehow, some managed to live. Join them now, in this introduction to the "Tales of New Hope" series, as they struggle to survive in a new world... Alone

At one time, I was known as James S. Fitzgerald, Petty Officer Furst-Class, United States Coast Guard. I came down with the killer virus that killed nearly everyone on earth, but I didn't die. After my cross-country journey in Book #1, "After The Last Virus," I had found a comfortable life in a small northwestern town. That is, until I heard a radio call from some fellow coasties, pleading for help. They were stuck on an Aleutian island in Alaska. Suddenly, I found myself facing my "Next Challenge."
