Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
This book demonstrates that under the leadership of President
Ronald Reagan and through the mechanism of his National Security
Council staff, the United States developed and executed a
comprehensive grand strategy, involving the coordinated use of the
diplomatic, informational, military, and economic instruments of
national power, and that grand strategy led to the collapse of the
Soviet Union. In doing so, it refutes three orthodoxies: that
Reagan and his administration deserve little credit for the end of
the Cold War, with most of credit going to Mikhail Gorbachev; that
Reagan's management of the National Security Council staff was
singularly inept; and that the United States is incapable of
generating and implementing a grand strategy that employs all the
instruments of national power and coordinates the work of all
executive agencies. The Reagan years were hardly a time of
interagency concord, but the National Security Council staff
managed the successful implementation of its program nonetheless.

Practical and provocative, Bioavailability reviews prevalent
understanding of the physical-chemical-biological mechanisms that
control the bioavailability of both organic and inorganic
contaminants in aquatic environments.
Discusses the complex issues that surround many regulatory
issues
Emphasizes the need to identify and control that portion of the
total concentration that is biologically available and can cause
adverse effects, i.e., "active"
Examines the influence of dynamic factors, such as pH, alkalinity,
and light on these mechanisms
Addresses the subject of speciation for both organic and inorganic
contaminants
As is becoming clearer and clearer, pressures on water resources in
the United States are growing, with no foreseeable end in sight.
Yet these pressures are not due to a national water scarcity. While
the Southwest faces the problems of draught, a rising population,
and over-allocation of resources, the Northeast and Northern Plains
must deal with increasingly wet weather and flooding. The greatest
challenges that the United States faces with regard to water are
regional disparities in availability, a changing climate, worsening
water quality, and, increasingly, controversies over management
strategies and policies. While many countries have adopted federal
approaches to water management, the United States has no cohesive
national water policy. In fact, the oversight of current water
policy is shared by over sixty different agencies,and the last
national water assessment undertaken in the United States occurred
over forty years ago. The lack of coordinated oversight not only
renders national policymakers unable to make informed analyses of
water quality standards and availability, it also results in large
gaps of understanding regarding variability of water resources and
how to most efficiently and effectively manage and preserve those
resources. A Twenty-First Century U.S. Water Policy culls together
independent analysis of freshwater availability; water usage in
agriculture, municipalities, tribal settlements, and energy
production; exisiting legal frameworks; environmental justice
movements; and data on water quality and climate change. The result
is a visionary proposal for a coherent and critically needed
federal water policy.
