John Wiley & Sons Tainted Earth Smelters Public Health and the Environment Critical Issues in Health and Medicine Paperback
Trade Review"Tainted Earth stands out as a compelling demonstration of just how central lead and copper smelters were to the making of our modern science and regulation of environmental pollution in the United States. The research and writing on display are smoothly woven and in places, inspired." -- Christopher Sellers * Stony Brook University *"Sullivan’s comparative study is unique; she sets many of the regulatory problems of smelters into a firm analytical framework that will be useful for many years." -- Christian Warren * Brooklyn College *"Tainted Earth provides a detailed history, with a technical focus, of the environmental impact of three metal smelters located in Tacoma, Washington, El Paso, Texas, and Kellogg, Idaho. This is a well-documented story, providing a warning to other nations where the smelters now glow." * Choice *"Sullivan weaves compelling stories of communities where children's health was irreversibly damaged by heavy metal pollution following smelting industry efforts to downplay and obfuscate the risks of pollution, and efforts to stave off environmental regulation. Well-written and engaging...Tainted Earth will appeal to students oand professionals across a variety of fields, including public health, history of science, toxicology, geography, and environmental policy." * Global Public Health *"Marianne Sullivan's Tainted Earth makes a major contribution to the complex history of smelter smoke." * Pacific Northwest Quarterly *Table of ContentsList of FiguresAcknowledgmentsIntroduction1.

Taylor & Francis Inc Inverse Engineering Handbook
Book SynopsisInverse problems have been the focus of a growing number of research efforts over the last 40 years-and rightly so. The ability to determine a cause from an observed effect is a powerful one. Researchers now have at their disposal a variety of techniques for solving inverse problems, techniques that go well beyond those useful for relatively simple parameter estimation problems. The question is, where can one find a single, comprehensive resource that details these methods?The answer is the Inverse Engineering Handbook. Leading experts in inverse problems have joined forces to produce the definitive reference that allows readers to understand, implement, and benefit from a variety of problem-solving techniques. Each chapter details a method developed or refined by its contributor, who provides clear explanations, examples, and in many cases, software algorithms. The presentation begins with methods for parameter estimation, which build a bridge to boundary function estimatioTrade Review"…serves as a good introduction and tutorial for this important area of applied mathematics.

This foundational textbook provides the scaffolds to allow students to understand the environmental regulatory infrastructure, and how to create partnerships to solve environmental problems ethically and implement successful environmental programs.Trade Review'As a natural resource manager and professional, the book, while environmental management focused, is still relevant, as many of the trends and discussions occur in my world the same as they appear in the environmental management sphere. It's a great book for being able to begin to understand the ever changing and evolving world of environmental management, and I'm glad Professor Lame and Dr. Marcantonio wrote this book to keep the material relevant.' Ben Weise, Contra Costa Resources Conservation District'Environmental Management offers sage advice, grounded in practical realities, for ethical and effective management of pollution and natural resource problems. Lame and Marcantonio have written a fantastic textbook, filled with real-world examples and concrete lessons, that instructors will find valuable for training future environmental leaders.' David Konisky, Indiana University'Bill Gates believes that environmental issues - climate disruption, in particular - are the most important issues facing companies, and thus the managers running them. Environmental Management: Concepts and Practical Skills is an extremely timely book addressing the challenges that executives will face in the decades to come. It is useful to college professors, students, and practitioners in their careers.' Jeff Anstine, North Central College'In an era when environmental management is often clouded by partisan politics and rhetoric, this book is a breath of fresh air teaching the next generation how to manage for the environment.' Rosemary O'Leary, University of Kansas'The textbook is full of insightful details, from emphasizing that environmental management is managing both people and nature, to highlighting the importance of understanding the scale, effect, and history of an issue at hand, and using past knowledge to inform decisions while anticipating future conditions. It challenges prospective and seasoned environmental managers with tough but necessary questions, evaluating your effectiveness and inclusion of equitable practices.'
