with these subjects developed two goals representing two separate strategies: forbidding only harmful ingredients and additions, on the one hand, and, on the other, demanding labelling of ingredients to inform the consumer. Milk was often the focus of independent campaigns. Protecting the public from impure ingestions also became an important element in the public health movement as it develope...

The U.S. Supreme Court’s property rights jurisprudence always has had a Delphic quality. During this century, its seminal expressions have been Justice Holmes’ enigmatic “too far” language in Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. Mahon and Justice Brennan’s reliance on the amorphous conception of “investment-backed expectations” in Penn Central Transportation Co. v. City of New York. The Court’s 1999 decisi...

Contemporary buildings are expected to meet an extensive set of requirements. They must be conceived, constructed, and operated in a manner that is functionally adequate, environmentally sustainable, occupationally desirable, and economically feasible. Moreover, buildings must increasingly accommodate different user groups, a varied set of activities, and multiple indoor environmental control s...

You will never examine a patient the way you did at Final MB again. Ever. OK, maybe you will at MRCP. Then never again. The examiner who expects you to examine that way never ever does it that way himself, either. That is one of the premises, recognised by many but never discussed in polite company, on which this book is based. It does exactly what it says on the back cover: aimed at student an...

1. Ecosystem services to agriculture, such as pollination, rely on natural areas adjacent to farmland to support organisms that provide services. Native insect pollinators depend on natural or semi-natural land surrounding farms for nesting and alternative foraging resources. Despite interest in conserving pollinators through habitat restoration, the scale at which land use affects pollinators ...

As an undergraduate in search of a definitive text for my introductory biochemistry courses, I had no choice but to acquire the third edition of this book, since Dr. Stryer was not only an instructor for several of my classes, but his text was also the required text for the most popular biology course! But even if I had not been pressured to acquire the text, I would have sold all my other book...

This survey identifies and defines innovative contracting mechanisms developed in the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region and northern California. A survey of nine case studies reveals that several new mechanisms have facilitated ecosystem management, quality jobs, and administrative efficiencies, but at times innovation was hampered by Forest Service institutional structures and downsizing...

interviewing, focused physical examination, and diagnostic assessment. At a weighty 640 pages, it is unlikely to find its way into many white coat pockets — an unfortunate fact given the clarity and utility of much of the information within. The first and largest section of the book comprises 17 chapters intended to direct history taking and physical examination across all organ systems, includ...

1.: One approach to biodiversity conservation is to set aside small woodland key habitats (WKHs) in intensively managed landscapes. The aim is to support species, such as epiphytes, which often depend on old trees and are negatively affected by intensive forestry. However, it is not known whether the number of host trees within these areas can sustain species in the long term. 2.: We studied m...

that). But in earlier times, castration made a man essentially null and void in terms of the economy of genders. That is, he was no longer a man, no longer a citizen, and no longer able to participate in some religious practices. This contrast between ancient and modern gender relations and their signifiers is captured in the opening anecdote where 48-year-old Taylor's 29-year-old girlfriend bo...
