Описание: In the museums of Urumchi, in Western China a collection of ancient mummies lay at the centre of an enormous mystery. Some of Urumchi`s mummies date back as far as 4,000 years - contemporaries of those in Egypt, but even more beautifully preserved, especially their clothing. Surprisingly, these prehistoric people were not Chinese but Caucasion, tall, large nosed and blonde with round eyes that were probably blue. Where did they come from and what were they doing in the foothills of the Himalayas?

Описание: Volume 40 of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry compiles and synthesizes current information on sulfate minerals from a variety of perspectives, including crystallography, geochemical properties, geological environments of formation, thermodynamic stability relations, kinetics of formation and dissolution, and environmental aspects. The first two chapters cover crystallography (Chapter 1) and spectroscopy (Chapter 2). Environments with alkali and alkaline earth sulfates are described in the next three chapters, on evaporites (Chapter 3), barite-celestine deposits (Chapter 4), and the kinetics of precipitation and dissolution of gypsum, barite, and celestine (Chapter 5). Acidic environments are the theme for the next four chapters, which cover soluble metal salts from sulfide oxidation (Chapter 6), iron and aluminum hydroxysulfates (Chapter 7), jarosites in hydrometallugy (Chapter 8), and alunite-jarosite crystallography, thermodynamics, and geochronology (Chapter 9). The next two chapters discuss thermodynamic modeling of sulfate systems from the perspectives of predicting sulfate-mineral solubilities in waters covering a wide range in composition and concentration (Chapter 10) and predicting interactions between sulfate solid solutions and aqueous solutions (Chapter 11). The concluding chapter on stable-isotope systematics (Chapter 12) discusses the utility of sulfate minerals in understanding the geological and geochemical processes in both high- and low-temperature environments, and in unraveling the past evolution of natural systems through paleoclimate studies. The review chapters in this volume were the basis for a short course on sulfate minerals sponsored by the Mineralogical Society of America (MSA) November 11-12, 2000 in Tahoe City, California, prior to the Annual Meeting of MSA, the Geological Society of America, and other associated societies in nearby Reno, Nevada. The conveners of the course (and editors of this volume of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry), Alpers, John Jambor, and Kirk Nordstrom, also organized related topical sessions at the GSA meeting on sulfate minerals in both hydrothermal and low-temperature environments.

Описание: -Is binge eating a problem for you? -Are you obsessed about your body size and weight? -Do you waste endless hours daydreaming and planning for thinner days? -Do you spend a great deal of time and money creating a food experience, overeating, and suffering in the aftermath? These were just a few of my personal struggles with the food. Others included-lying about how much I had eaten, running out at all times of the night to replace food that I had ravished, running out at all times of the night to complete a binge, hating people who were thin and seemingly able to eat whatever they wished, sinking into still another deep depression because of my inability to keep my resolve not to overeat, losing confidence in my ability to do anything because I was so powerless over the food. Today, I can say with a deep, deep gratitude, that God has broken the stronghold of compulsive overeating. Besides maintaining a weight loss of over 70 pounds, God has kept me binge free and abstinent for over 21 years. He is teaching me to delight in Him. He is showing me that as I follow hard after Him, He alone brings both satisfaction and peace. If you have ever struggled with compulsive overeating, this book is written for you. The daily readings are designed to keep you out of denial and into recovery. There are questions to help you to dig deeper and space for you to journal. (This space might also be used to record your daily food plan and commitment.) Abstinence from compulsive overeating is a God given gift. Believe that it is available to you. Reach out today and claim your victory. Your sister in Christ Jesus, Pat N.

Описание:
Situation Normal A.F.U.: A Flatfooted Soldier Tells All(SNAFU) is an hilarious autobiographical account of the Vietnam era. Readers might initially wonder why the need for yet another military memoir about these times., But they will find this account fresh and unique-there is an outstanding sense of irony and humor in the author's approach to the military. Nordstrom's tongue-in-cheek style lends an unexpected flavor to the events, often translating military challenges and experiences into a wry, satirical look at the Army's impact on its soldiers:
"There was another interesting thing I discovered about standing all the time. I heard somewhere that the horse and giraffe are the only animals that can sleep standing up. If that's true, I should be in the Guinness Book of Records, as I'm living proof that, given enough incentive, humans can do the same. . . . My aversion to standing for any length of time had another unintended, but positive, consequence; I found an occupation doing paperwork that also required an ability to dictate business letters, which doesn't hurt if you want to be a writer. . . . Thus, in a world searching for answers, I can recommend that everyone cultivate the arts of standing in line and sleep deprivation. Doing so will prepare them for any eventuality, from writing a novel to repelling an invasion."
The book navigates the author's fate, changing duties, and Academy training regimens. Readers receive a review of daily routines, military politics, the author's choices and decisions vital to his survival, and original methods of either beating or working with the system:
"Wanting to get ahead of the curve, I spent my meager savings on a spare set of boots, new fatigues, skivvies, and other articles that went into our wall and footlockers, and Instead, lived out of laundry bags which contained clean clothes. So, while other less prepared soldiers were busy spit shining the shoes they scuffed up during the day, I spent my time studying things like how to harass the troops (just kidding), fundamentals of leadership, radio communications, reading maps and using compasses (called orienting)." And despite nearly being kicked out of the Academy for fist-fighting (a recurrent problem), Nordstrom managed to graduate with honors.
The author highlights changing technology and Army approaches past and present, providing discussions which will prove thought-provoking to modern military participants as well as those who have never served. For example, while explaining why GPS has replaced the need for the survey training, SNAFU keeps the reader's attention by explaining how it is possible to be in two places at the same time
The author's ability to relate military protocols, incidents, accidents, ironies and interpersonal relationships via his wry and witty persona will appeal to military participants and their families as well as those who may have never seen an Army base or served in any branch of the military. And while some may criticize the lack of social commentary on the horrors of war, many will find this approach refreshing.

Описание:
For the 20th anniversary of 9/11 comes an awe-inspiring account of the schoolchildren poisoned by the toxic air left in the wake of the Twin Towers' destruction and the survivor who fought for health care for them in front of Congress and against the odds.
On September 11, 2001, high school senior Lila Nordstrom watched from her classroom's window as the Twin Towers, mere blocks away, fell. Weeks later, at the urging of local officials and assurance from the EPA, Lila and her three thousand classmates were returned to their school--even though the air was thick with toxic debris, dust, and smoke.
In this remarkable, empowering memoir, Lila shares how the illnesses and deaths of her classmates related to the effects of the 9/11 cleanup spurred her into action. She created StuyHealth and became involved in the fight for the Victim Compensation Fund, working alongside first responders and heavyweights like Jon Stewart, Hillary Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi, proving at every turn that her survivor community also deserves recognition and mental and physical health care and that her voice too deserves to be heard.
This timely tale reveals how tragedy lays bare the American health care system and how corruption and misinformation continue to fail victims of tragedies. An honest, at times humorous guide to advocating for one's self and one's community and navigating the cutthroat world of legislation and health care, Lila's story begs us to consider how we as a nation treat our vulnerable communities and how all victims of all disasters deserve care, truth, and respect. Also included is a section on the meaning of advocacy work, what it means to be an active citizen, and how to support a cause you believe in.
Описание: Geochemical Modeling for Mine Site Characterization and Remediation is the fourth of six volumes in the Management Technologies for Metal Mining Influenced Water series about technologies for management of metal mine and metallurgical process drainage. This handbook describes the important components of hydrogeochemical modeling for mine environments, primarily those mines where sulfi de minerals are present—metal mines and coal mines. It provides general guidelines on the strengths and limitations of geochemical modeling and an overview of its application to the hydrogeochemistry of both unmined mineralized sites and those contaminated from mineral extraction and mineral processing. The handbook includes an overview of the models behind the codes, explains vital geochemical computations, describes several modeling processes, provides a compilation of codes, and gives examples of their application, including both successes and failures. Hydrologic modeling is also included because mining contaminants most often migrate by surface water and groundwater transport, and contaminant concentrations are a function of water residence time as well as pathways. This is an indispensable resource for mine planners and engineers, environmental managers, land managers, consultants, researchers, government regulators, nongovernmental organizations, students, stakeholders, and anyone with an interest in mining influenced water. The other handbooks in the series are Basics of Metal Mining Influenced Water; Mitigation of Metal Mining Influenced Water; Mine Pit Lakes: Characteristics, Predictive Modeling, and Sustainability; Techniques for Predicting Metal Mining Influenced Water; and Sampling and Monitoring for the Mine Life Cycle.
