Six hundred million Chinese in 1950, and double that today. Eight hundred million Africans on the eve of the third millennium, and probably three times that in 40 years. Humankind under threat from a third world population explosion. Industrial societies enfeebled by depopulation and the opposing risk of a population implosion. Pension systems hard-pressed by aging populations. Northern societies living in entrenched fear of invasions from the east or south, be it history’s yellow peril or the more recent open floodgates from across the Mediterranean or Rio Grande, turning a convenient blind eye to their own ancestral past as invaders, with their most overwhelming wave (toward North America) being a matter of recent history. For the past 50 years, population issues have dogged our contemporaries and they remain as live an issue as ever.

This is a groundbreaking new work from a leading scholar in the field of international relations. Offering a highly original analysis of world events, especially in the light of the Iraq War, Kees van der Pijl explores the history and development of relations between major countries in the international community, and the impact that successive wars and changes in the global political economy have had on the way states relate to each other today. Tracing the liberal state structure back to the closing stages of the English Civil War and settlement in North America, he argues that the rise of the English-speaking West has created rivalries between contender states that are never entirely put to rest. With each round of Western expansion, new rivalries are created. Offering a truly global analysis that covers every area of the world—from Europe and America to China, the Middle East, Latin America and Russia—he analyses the development of international relations after World War II, and questions whether the neoliberal project and its human rights ideology have collapsed back into authoritarianism under the guise of the "war on terror."

Cutting through over half a century of historical build-up, this new and convincing account of World War II uses a global perspective to explain the complicated course in military terms. Black, a distinguished military historian , bucks the current trend to demilitarise and gives due weight to the campaigns and battles that made up the war. In doing so he challenges common interpretations and includes new insights to make this one of the most exciting new histories of the Second World War. Covering all the main areas of conflict, the chronological approach includes analysis of attacks at land, air and sea and a comparison of military resources.

Plastics are now being used on a large scale for the packaging of fatty and aqueous foodstuffs and beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. This is evident for all to see on the supermarket shelves, margarine is packed in polystyrene tubs, beer is packed in PVC bottles and meats and bacon in shrink-wrap film. Foods are also increasingly being shipped in bulk, in plastic containers. Additionally, there is the area of use of plastics utensils, containers and processing equipment in the home and during bulk preparation of food in producing factories, at home and in restaurants and canteens. Thus it is likely that some transfer of polymer additives will occur - adventitious impurities such as monomers, oligomers, catalyst remnants and residual polymerisation solvents and low molecular weight polymer fractions - from the plastic into the packaged material with the consequent risk of a toxic hazard to the consumer. The actual hazard arising to the consumer from any extractable material is a function of two properties, namely, the intrinsic toxicity of the extracted material as evaluated in animal feeding trials (not dealt with in this book) and the amount of material extracted from the polymer which enters the packed commodity under service conditions, i.e., during packaging operations and during the shelf life of the packaged commodity at the time of the consumption. This book covers all aspects of the migration of additives into food and gives detailed information on the analytical determination of the additives in various plastics. It will be of interest to those engaged in the implementation of packaging legislation, including management, analytical chemists and the manufacturers of foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics and also scientific and toxicologists in the packaging industry.

Unique in its direct and comprehensive approach, this Third Edition presents a working knowledge of biomechanical principles for use in the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunction. Three sections address the biomechanics of musculoskeletal tissues and structures, the biomechanics of all human joints, and applied biomechanics. The book features contributions from a variety of disciplines including orthopaedic surgery, physical therapy, occupational therapy, hand surgery, physical medicine and rehabilitation, sports medicine, biomechanical engineering and anesthesiology. This edition's new introductory chapter explains the importance of biomechanics study and includes the "International System of Units" appendix. A new section on "Applied Biomechanics" includes chapters on fracture fixation; arthroplasty; standing, sitting, and lying; and gait. Boxes with biomechanical computations promote comprehension of biomechanical principles. Practical examples and clinical case studies apply biomechanical knowledge to practice.

Teledermatology: A User's Guide was written to provide practical information for those individuals contemplating or planning a teledermatology program or expanding their current use of teledermatology. It focuses on the practical aspects of teledermatology implementation while providing a comprehensive treatment of the topic. Discussions include: business models and reimbursement issues; the current status of teledermatology research; the integration of teledermatology into dermatology residency training programs; ethical considerations; confidentiality issues; and the "art of teledermatology." It explores the technical aspects of teledermatology and describes the differences between live interactive techniques and store and forward techniques. This book is intended to provide both novice and seasoned teledermatologists with comprehensive and practical information on teledermatology. Many of the chapter authors are among the world experts in teledermatology and have developed successful and viable teledermatology programs. The knowledge presented here is based on the lessons they have learned in the course of teledermatology development.

This book details the graphical system developed by the Welding Institute to prevent hydrogen cracking. The system is based upon the determination of the carbon equivalent (CE) via equations that are provided. This CE is then used with the hydrogen content introduced during welding to set the horizontal axis of a nomograph. One then draws a line upwards from the appropriate CE value (determined by the CE and H content) until it intersects a line defining preheat level being used. A horizontal line is then drawn from the intersection point of the CE line and preheat line until it hits a line defining the combined plate thickness (which is determined by the part geometry). A vertical line is then down from this intersection point until it hits another horizontal axis at a point which identifies the proper heat input. This system thus allows one to determine the appropriate heat input based upon the CE of the steel, the H level introduced in welding (which is determined by the welding process and variables such as the proper handling of electrodes), the amount of preheat and the part geometry. Data on the Martensite start temperature is provided, as this is required to set some preheat temperatures. Data on hydrogen diffusion is also provided, which is needed to set bake out requirements to eliminate any hydrogen that may be present. British standards are used for the specific steels that are mentioned, so conversion is necessary to apply this data to steels defined by other standards.
