William Fitzgerald Jenkins was an award-winning American writer
best known for his science fiction. He published over 1,500 short
stories and articles, plus many well-received novels. "Dallas" is a
western novel based on a Warner Bros. movie script of the same
name.
Originally prepared for the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk
Reduction, this is the first comprehensive assessment of global
volcanic hazards and risk, presenting the state of the art in our
understanding of global volcanic activity. It examines our
assessment and management capabilities, and considers the
preparedness of the global scientific community and government
agencies to manage volcanic hazards and risk. Particular attention
is paid to volcanic ash, the most frequent and wide-ranging
volcanic hazard. Of interest to government officials, the private
sector, students and researchers, this book is a key resource for
the disaster risk reduction community and for those interested in
volcanology and natural hazards. A non-technical summary is
included for policy makers. Regional volcanic hazard profiles, with
invaluable information on volcanic hazards and risk at the local,
national and global scale, are provided online. This title is
available as an Open Access eBook via Cambridge Books Online.
In 1793 a disastrous plague of yellow fever paralyzed Philadelphia,
killing thousands of residents and bringing the nation's capital
city to a standstill. In this psychological portrait of a city in
terror, J. H. Powell presents a penetrating study of human nature
revealing itself. Bring Out Your Dead is an absorbing account, form
the original sources, of an infamous tragedy that left its mark on
all it touched.

"We take a stand for peace, independently and collectively,
artistically and politically. In these times it is imperative not
to let slip through one's hands the opportunity to say again and
again, with whatever means possible, creative and peaceful, that
war is wrong, that love is the only path to peace, justice and
freedom, and that we will not stray from this path no matter the
consequences. This idea fed this project and I hope will feed the
minds and hearts of those who share in our efforts by reading this
book."
Increasingly, genomic-based approaches and resources are redefining
our categorization of disease, leading to new approaches to
prevention and therapy. As nurses traditionally practice
patient-oriented care, they will undoubtedly play a key role in
both developing and applying the aspects of genomic health care.
Nursing Care in the Genomic Era: A Case Based Approach is designed
to provide nurses with up-to-date and accessible information on
this powerful new approach to understanding, preventing, and
treating disease. The framework for each chapter consists of core
competencies in genetics, interwoven with stories that highlight a
particular condition and the related biological, personal, and
psychosocial issues. The chapters then go on to address the
knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for nurses and health
professionals as recommended by the National Coalition for Health
Professional Education in Genetics (NCHPEG). The text presents the
genetic components of common diseases such as cancer, diabetes,
heart disease, and Alzheimer's, and the innovative technologies
used to detect them. Understanding genomic issues and how they
affect individuals and families is the first step for nurses hoping
to make a difference when providing nursing care in the genomic
era.
This book provides an overview of The Joint Polar Satellite System
(JPSS) and the Geostationary Operational Environmental
Satellite-R(GOES-R) programs, which are meant to replace current
operational satellites. Both are considered critical to the United
States' ability to maintain the continuity of data required for
weather forecasting. Since the 1960s, the United States has used
both polar-orbiting and geostationary satellites to observe the
earth and its land, oceans, atmosphere, and space environments.
Polar-orbiting satellites constantly circle the earth in an almost
north-south orbit, providing global coverage of conditions that
affect the weather and climate. As the earth rotates beneath it,
each polar-orbiting satellite views the entire earth's surface
twice a day. In contrast, geostationary satellites maintain a fixed
position relative to the earth from a high orbit of about 22,300
miles in space. Both types of satellites provide a valuable
perspective of the environment and allow observations in areas that
may be otherwise unreachable.
The rapid spread of nanotechnology threatens to outpace knowledge
about its attendant safety and health risks. As nanotechnology
moves forward into all avenues of commerce, stakeholders from
industry, academia, labour, occupational safety and health
professions, and government must make a concerted effort to
identify and characterise the human health hazards associated with
Nanomaterials. The NIOSH continues to play an active role in this
process. This book provides an overview of the NIOSH's continuing
oversight and strategic planning of nanotechnology research and
guidance with regard to their safety and health effects.
