Book Description
This new fifth edition of Information Resources in Toxicology offers a consolidated entry portal for the study, research, and practice of toxicology. Both volumes represents a unique, wide-ranging, curated, international, annotated bibliography, and directory of major resources in toxicology and allied fields such as environmental and occupational health, chemical safety, and risk assessment. The editors and authors are among the leaders of the profession sharing their cumulative wisdom in toxicology's subdisciplines. This edition keeps pace with the digital world in directing and linking readers to relevant websites and other online tools.Due to the increasing size of the hardcopy publication, the current edition has been divided into two volumes to make it easier to handle and consult. Volume 1: Background, Resources, and Tools, arranged in 5 parts, begins with chapters on the science of toxicology, its history, and informatics framework in Part 1. Part 2 continues with chapters organized by more specific subject such as cancer, clinical toxicology, genetic toxicology, etc. The categorization of chapters by resource format, for example, journals and newsletters, technical reports, organizations constitutes Part 3. Part 4 further considers toxicology's presence via the Internet, databases, and software tools. Among the miscellaneous topics in the concluding Part 5 are laws and regulations, professional education, grants and funding, and patents. Volume 2: The Global Arena offers contributed chapters focusing on the toxicology contributions of over 40 countries, followed by a glossary of toxicological terms and an appendix of popular quotations related to the field.The book, offered in both print and electronic formats, is carefully structured, indexed, and cross-referenced to enable users to easily find answers to their questions or serendipitously locate useful knowledge they were not originally aware they needed. Among the many timely topics receiving increased emphasis are disaster preparedness, nanotechnology, -omics, risk assessment, societal implications such as ethics and the precautionary principle, climate change, and children's environmental health. - Opens with an overview of the international toxicology scene, organizations and activities involved with both the science and regulatory framework, and a specific look at the European Union's efforts - Offers an extensive collection of chapters covering over 40 countries and their toxicological infrastructure which includes listings of major books and journals, organizations, professional societies, universities, poison control centers, legislation, and online databases - Provides the Second Edition of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry's Glossary of Terms Used in Toxicology, a carefully constructed and peer reviewed collation of critical terms in the science - Concludes with a potpourri of quotes concerning toxicology and their use in the arts and popular culture - Paired with Volume One, which offers chapters on a host of toxicology sub-disciplines, this set offers the most comprehensive compendium of print, digital, and organizational resources in the toxicological sciences with over120 chapters contributions by experts and leaders in the field

Book Description
Enormes incendios forestales y de matorrales, aguaceros gigantescos, bosques moribundos , inundaciones, catástrofes por sequías y tornados: noticias de catástrofes casi diarias en periódicos y tickers de noticias. Una serie de procesos irreversibles de destrucción y autodestrucción se están desarrollando en la naturaleza, poniendo en cuestión la supervivencia en cada vez más regiones. Estos procesos lo dejan claro: ¡la catástrofe ecológica global ha comenzado! Los responsables principales de este desarrollo son los supermonopolios internacionales, quienes en su caza por la ganancia máxima, sin piedad y a pesar de saberlo mejor, pasan por alto la necesidad urgente de protección del medio ambiente y las medidas inmediatas que se requieren agudamente.

El libro pone inequívocamente en claro: la salvación de la humanidad sólo será posible en el verdadero socialismo.

Elsevier's Dictionary of Geography
Author: Vladimir Kotlyakov
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080488781
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1073
Book Description
Geography is a system of highly developed sciences about the environment. Geographical science embracing the study of the Earth's physical phenomena, people and their economic activities has always been in need of an extensive terminology. Geographical terms are related to the terms of natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, geology, etc.) and humanities (history, economics, sociology, etc.) since geography is based on these fundamental subjects. Geography includes a number of disciplines and subdivisions which appeared along with the development of the science In spite of being very different geographical disciplines have some common tools of investigation which is maps, comparative method of exploration, remote sensing, geoinformation systems. Today very well developed terminologies of all the specialist fields of geography and related subjects exist in the main world languages. However, they are not always well-correlated. Nowadays geographical terminology requires unification and international correlation more than ever before. Hence the idea of compiling a multilingual polydisciplinary dictionary. The Dictionary consists of the basic table of terms arranged according to the order of the English alphabet with each term numbered. Each entry consists of the term in English and its equivalents in Russian, French, German, Spanish. Short definitions of terms are given in English and in Russian. The terms are supplied with the necessary grammar labels, such as gender of nouns, plural number, etc. The Dictionary combines two functions: that of a defining dictionary and that of a bilingual dictionary. These two functions are basically contradictory because usually the defining dictionary is aimed at giving one meaning of the word which is the main and essential one, while the bilingual dictionary tries to give different equivalents of a given word in the other language in order to supply the user with maximum possible translations, differing in the shades of meanings, thus giving him the possibility to choose the appropriate word. But in our Dictionary we intentionally decided to combine the two functions – defining and multilingual, because a short definition of the term and equivalents in other languages help to achieve our main aim which consists in showing the basic geographical terminology and harmonizing it in several languages. Having this into consideration we deliberately mixed two types of dictionaries in one. - Organized alphabetically via English - Provides short definition of geographical terms in English and Russian - Includes multilingual translation of terms from English to Russian, French, German, Spanish

Los de Arriba Y Sus Armas Mas Efectivas
Author: Miguel Javier
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1453564233
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
La comunidad mundial, y especialmente la de Latinoamérica, por influencia de un grupo muy pequeño de inhumanos, ha actuado por siglos inconsciente de las verdades que rigen su manera de pensar y actuar ante determinadas circunstancias ignorando el porqué de una actitud completamente inductiva. No es casualidad que abracemos con ilógico conformismo un destino que besa con labios de serpiente y acaricia con dedos de navaja los frágiles cuerpos de hombres y mujeres autómatas que inocentemente ponen en manos de sus verdugos el afilado cuchillo que traspasara sus mismas gargantas.
Los De Arriba Y Sus Armas Más Efectivas presenta, de una manera clara y responsable, las estrategias usadas en las naciones por sectores internos y externos de ilimitado poder, para dar justificación a medios de control humanos que, implementados de una manera directa, serian simplemente rechazados por sus destinatarios. Este libro lleva a reconsiderar una amplia gama de irregularidades sociales toxicas que por largo tiempo han estado impregnadas en nuestras programadas mentes lo cual ha dado como resultado un descuido de grandes proporciones, y hemos caído en el gravísimo error de percibirlas como problemas fortuitos omitiendo adjudicarles un culpable.
Mediante la recopilación de datos y eventos históricos; fabulas y experiencias verídicas, esta obra también muestra sin tapujos como los desastres naturales y sociales, contrario a lo que muchos creen, son provocados o –en gran parte-tienen que ver directamente con el opaco y poco confiable mundo de la política. Esta obra es también un homenaje a países y personas admirables que con sus firmes pisadas y decisiones irreprochables han hecho posible el rostro positivo de este libro.
