Hyperlinked lists of substances and properties lead directly to the documents and make the electronic version an easy-to-use source of semiconductor data. In the new updates III/44A and III/44B, links to existing material in III/41 or to related documents for a specific substance are also included.

Trevor Callaway, a successful romance novelist and Ernest Hemmingway wannabe, is fishing off the coast of Chub Cay in the Bahamas when he hooks into a world-class marlin. After hours of fighting the fish, he is disappointed when the fish seems to die before he can boat and release it. Upon close inspection he discovers the fish has died because something has cleanly cut off its tail. Not wanting to waste the magnificent fish, Trevor and his boat crew, Richie and Dave, two ex street people that he rescued from a golf course in Key West, decide to haul it to Bimini to have it smoked. Little do they know that the fish responsible for the marlin's death is lurking close by and follows the bleeding marlin's blood trail. The fish, an ancient barracuda with failing eyesight, almost immediately begins to affect the lives of visitors and natives of the tropical paradise.

Dr. Tom Clayton, a highly respected chiropractic physician in the small community of Deerfield, Illinois, unexpectedly finds himself a defendant in a law suit having been accused of inducing a stroke and subsequent death of Nancy Holt by adjusting cervical vertebrae in her neck.. After enduring a tense jury trial Tom devotes his life and practice to educating people as to the many advantages of alternative approaches to the treatment of disease as opposed to the use of toxic drugs and invasive surgery. Not only does he educate patients in his office but soon finds himself conducting open seminars in a local school auditorium. He takes dead aim at the pharmaceutical industry exposing the cholesterol myth, discussing several successful approaches to cancer treatment without the devastating effects of chemotherapy, surgery or radiation and introduces proven methods of halting the progression of Alzheimer=s Disease. Other topics include the multitude of toxins we inhale, inject, ingest and absorb on a daily basis, the evils of sugar and an unique approach to osteoporosis. The book is factual, absorbing and thought provoking for everyone interested in their health.

There is something missing in the culture of today's business operations that endangers all of us, Generals and Soldiers alike. If what appears to be a majority of "Generals (Corporate top managers)" continue on this self destructive course most of the "soldiers in the field" will end up bleeding even more by the loss of jobs and the destruction of the organizations that many are still very loyal to. Management's efforts to eliminate as many individuals from the customer contact part of business is a trend that is creating an environment where business is giving up on the people part of business. These business leaders are creating an "interface" that involves ordering, shipping, billing and paying for the product with as little human interaction as possible. In my travels around the world, I have found this is NOT the trend customers want, need or desire. The news item at the beginning of the Introduction chapter of this book is a large hint as to what customer's really want. There are active Web sites designed to aid customers in by-passing the "automated response customer service and answering systems" many companies use as insulation between themselves and direct customer contact. If markets.no we should say... Customers.wanted or needed these kinds of systems or services why is there such a booming market in the development of ways to get around them? The company that combines human contact and relationships with technology of today and tomorrow will be the company that becomes the next GM or Microsoft of the world. The question is who or where is this company going to be located. In the West or East, it does not matter that much to me but in a world where economics will drive theempires of the future, we better start taking notice.
