Understanding Risk to Wildlife from Exposures to Per- and
Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS) provides the most recent
summary of toxicity data relevant to mammals, birds, reptiles, and
amphibians, and provides values for use in risk assessment
applications. Predicting the bioaccumulation of PFAS in terrestrial
wildlife (including humans) has proven to be extremely complex. As
a group, PFAS act differently than traditional non-ionic organic
molecules, where PFAS can break down and reform, whereas some are
demonstrated to be extremely persistent. Where sufficient data are
provided, this book establishes toxicity reference values (TRVs),
which are derived to assist in characterizing environmental sources
of contamination and making risk-based decisions. Features:
Provides toxicity reference values (TRVs) for vertebrates (mammals,
birds, amphibians) for PFAS, where sufficient data are available,
and includes objective supporting background information. Assigns a
level of confidence to each TRV to provide the risk assessor with
an understanding of the relative uncertainty associated with each
value. Presents toxicity data in the formats of scatter diagrams
and tables for quick review and assessment. Provides TRVs relevant
for screening and decision making This book serves as a useful aid
for risk assessors and managers in those industries that have sites
contaminated with PFAS, consultants tasked with evaluating risks at
such sites, and staff at regulatory agencies at various
governmental levels, who need to know how much contamination is
considered safe for wildlife. It will also appeal to researchers
with an interest in filling the gaps in the current toxicological
data for PFAS exposure.
The My Lai Massacre was the most publicized incident subjected to
military law during the Vietnam War, but military lawyers in all
the service branches had their hands full with less-publicized
desertions, drug use, rapes, fraggings, black marketeering, and
even small claims. William Allison reveals how the military justice
system responded to crimes and infractions both inside and outside
the combat zone and how it adapted to an unconventional political,
military, and social climate as American involvement escalated. In
taking readers to war-torn Vietnam, Allison's study depicts a
transitional period in the history of the Uniform Code of Military
Justice, which was revised in 1968. Reflecting American beliefs in
discipline and efficiency in military operations, the Code and its
implementation were viewed as an integral facet of pacification and
counterinsurgency programs. As Allison makes clear, military law
and justice in Vietnam were not intended merely as behavioral
controls but were also promoted to the Vietnamese as American
ideals: respect for the rule of law and an example of the best that
democracy had to offer. American military law and lawyers made near
- daily contact with the Vietnamese people, and those interactions
open an unusual window on the war and also shed light on
contemporary military operations and nation-building missions.
Based on deep research into wartime archives and interviews with
participants in that conflict (including his own father, a Marine
Corps lawyer who served in Vietnam), Allison offers a reflective
and well-rounded picture of daily life for military lawyers in
Vietnam. That portrait also illuminates the complexities of trying
to impose military law and justice on a foreign culture not
accustomed to Western-style democracy. As Allison shows, while the
difficulties were great and military justice may have fallen short
of its goals, as in the My Lai case, military lawyers conducted
themselves with honor in Vietnam. And as military crimes in Iraq
dominate today's news and military justice in a combat zone
continues to challenge our democratic ideals, his book provides
critical insight into the historical process that underlies
American military law today.

Law, 1600-1926, brings together foreign, comparative, and
international titles in a single resource. Its International Law
component features works of some of the great legal theorists,
including Gentili, Grotius, Selden, Zouche, Pufendorf,
Bijnkershoek, Wolff, Vattel, Martens, Mackintosh, Wheaton, among
others. The materials in this archive are drawn from three
world-class American law libraries: the Yale Law Library, the
George Washington University Law Library, and the Columbia Law
Library.Now for the first time, these high-quality digital scans of
original works are available via print-on-demand, making them
readily accessible to libraries, students, independent scholars,
and readers of all ages.+++++++++++++++The below data was compiled
