In recent years, global metallurgical industries have experienced
fast and prosperous growth. High-temperature metallurgical
technology is the backbone to support the technical, environmental,
and economical needs for the growth. This collection features
contributions covering the advancements and developments of new
high-temperature metallurgical technologies and their applications
to the areas of processing of minerals; extraction of metals;
preparation of metallic, refractory and ceramic materials;
treatment and recycling of slag and wastes; and saving of energy
and protection of environment.The volume will have a broad impact
on the academics and professionals serving the metallurgical
industries around the world.

This work, first published in 1913, deals with the causes which led
to the imposition of the various taxes which were levied down to
and including the first income tax act (1799). Indeed, for an
understanding of the system of taxation of the nineteenth century a
knowledge of that which preceded it is necessary. The author begins
by an explanation of the Tudor and Stuart finances before the time
of the civil war at which point the break-down of the former
system, as well as the need for a much larger revenue, resulted in
important changes in the method of taxation.
New concepts, new ideas, and new objects diffuse through a society
in a fairly predictable, multi-stage process over an indeterminate
period of time. In recent years many social scientists representing
various disciplines have accepted the methods and findings of
diffusion research and it has attained legitimacy and prominence.
To make these findings more easily accessible, Musmann and Kennedy
have compiled a useful and timely bibliography which contains over
2,300 entries, most of which were published after 1970. Relevant
articles and monographs in English were located by the compilers
through systematic searches of online data bases and printed
indexes. A few foreign language citations are also included here.
The interdisciplinary nature of the diffusion model has allowed
social scientists to document and illustrate social transformations
in diverse fields. Recently, the processes of technology transfer
and technological change have come under scrutiny by social
scientists. Historically, technological innovations have played a
major role in the development of advanced industrialized nations.
Therefore, their diffusion, even in one society, often involves
significant social changes to both habitat and economy, and should
be a well-watched barometer. Following an illuminating
introduction, thirteen separate chapters provide full
bibliographical citations for studies in various disciplines
including: anthropology, business and economics, geography,
history, psychology, and technology, among others. Another chapter
is devoted to bibliography and research methods, and author and
subject indexes complete the volume. The most comprehensive
document of its kind in print, Diffusion of Innovations should find
a place in most libraries, especially those collecting materials in
communications, education, sociology, and the health sciences.

In a Manhattan hotel room, the "Love Nest Killings of 1908" take
place. But the mystery of who killed whom, and why, does not
unravel until we explore the lives of Katrina Taylor and Edward
Daugherty. He is a first-generation Irish American and a successful
playwright. She is a high-born Protestant, a beautiful seductive
woman with complex attitudes towards life. Their marriage is a
passionate one, but a cataclysmic hotel fire changes it into
something else altogether. Moving back and forth between the 1880s
and 1912, The Flaming Corsagefollows Katrina and Edward as other
lives impact upon theirs-their socially opposed families; Edward's
flirtatious actress paramour, Melissa Spencer; the physician Giles
Fitzroy, and his wife; and Edward's friend, the cynical journalist
Thomas Maginn. The Flaming Corsageevocatively portrays through the
lens of Albany's robust Irishtown and English-Dutch aristocracy the
seething, contradictory impulses of our humanity, lusts and furies
that know no bounds of time or place.
This rhetoric/anthology instructs college students in how to read
academic texts with understanding and how to use them as sources
for papers in a variety of disciplines. In Writing in the
Disciplines, Mary Kennedy and William Kennedy emphasize academic
writing as ongoing conversations in multiple genres, and do so in
the context of WPA Outcomes. The rhetoric chapters teach critical
reading, paraphrasing, summarizing, quoting, writing process,
synthesizing, analyzing, researching, and developing arguments. The
anthology balances journal articles with works by public
intellectuals in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities.
