Environmental Hazards from the Workplace Into the Community

By Helen E Sheehan

£39.95 02 Feb 2012 Hardback Rutgers University Press

When men and women who work with toxic materials get sick, everyone needs to worry. The toxic circles of industrial hazards spread in successive waves outward: from the workplace to the home, to the neighborhood, and to the community at large. These compelling essays tell how the links between cancers and working with radium, waxes, and dyes were uncovered and how poisoning from lead, mercury, dioxin, and chromium in and around the factory was detected. They document how corporations, government agencies, courts, unions, physicians, workers, and citizens have tried to ignore, evade, and finally battle the terrible legacy of industrial disease. The book focuses on New Jersey, the heart of Industrial America, where three centuries of experience with occupational and environmental disease offer hard-earned lessons to the rest of the country and the world.

Many of the contributors bring a direct personal involvement in the stories they have to tell. For example, Michael Gordon and Lynn D. Kelly represented workers and community in a major lawsuit against Diamond Shamrock over dioxin contamination; Ellen K. Silbergeld, Ph.D., a scientist at the University of Maryland, was an expert witness in the trial. Helene A. Stapinski was the reporter with The Jersey Journal who broke the story about chromium contamination in Jersey City. Dr. John J. Thorpe and Dr. John G. Lione, as corporation physicians in the oil refining industry, observed the consequences of their predecessors' efforts to prevent scrotal cancer in wax pressmen. Dr. Richard P. Wedeen has sought better ways to detect and prevent lead poisoning. Other contributors are: David Michaels, Ph.D., M.P.H., William D. Sharpe, M.D., Christopher C. Sellers, M.D., Ph.D., and Francis P. Chinard, M.D.

For anyone concerned with the environment, toxic hazards, and public health, this book will be essential reading.

Artificial Human Sensors

Science and Applications

By Peter Wide

£95.00 15 Jan 2012 Hardback Pan Stanford Publishing Pte Ltd

The importance of creating sophisticated information support to humans is increasing with society's need for supporting elderly population with limited sensing performance. This can be seen as a paradigm for increasing the support to different groups in the population, as well as a service concept to the citizens.

This can also be extended from a personal level into a global view, where a group of people can increase their information level (e.g., earthquake or tsunami warning systems). This book aims to involve human-related (based) and artificial sensing in coherence with human perception capabilities (auditory, taste, smell, vision and touch). Also, the fusion of these sensing information will be discussed. For example, how do we increase our human "fuzzy" decision capability (perception) e.g. the field of culinary art, the atmosphere in the dining room is also affecting the perception of tasting the food.

A Design Approach

By Kanakasabapathi Subramanian

£90.00 30 Sep 2011 Hardback Springer-Verlag New York Inc.

One of the biggest challenges facing engineers involved in MEMs research, development, and manufacturing is identifying a structured MEMS design methodology. Existing MEMS design literature has placed a significant emphasis on the modeling aspect of design. There is need for a book that describes a design "methodology" for MEMS. This book builds on the extensive body of literature that already exists on analytical and numerical multi-Physics "modeling" and provides a structured approach to microsystem design. "Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS): A Design Approach" focuses on the development of a standard methodology for MEMS design using Six Sigma techniques. This book will be of interest to engineering professionals, academics and researchers involved in the manufacturing, development and design of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and also to students learning MEMS design and/or practical Six Sigma methods.

Theory and Applications

By J.K. Rath

£82.00 25 Mar 2011 Hardback Taylor & Francis Ltd

While there are many available texts covering the basic principles of single-junction cells and their implementation, until now, no textbook has adequately addressed the topic of multijunction cells. Multijunction Solar Cells fills this gap in the literature, providing an in-depth description of multijunction cell science and technology. The first few chapters are devoted to the fundamental science of photovoltaics (PVs), the technology of single-junction cells, and growth and fabrication techniques. As such, the book can serve as an ideal text for students of PV science, and senior undergraduate and graduate students in applied physics, optoelectronics and related topics in PV technology.
