Yellow Dirt is a thorough account of the past and present state of the Navajo Nation with regards to uranium mining. Through a journalistic approach Judy Pasternak weaves the story of the betrayal of the Navajo people. This book highlights the impact of environment on health and this review calls all nurses to be aware of these impacts and incorporate this type of knowledge into their practice.

In the present paper, the free vibration characteristics of nanobeams embedded in an elastic medium are investigated. Inclusion of size effects is considered in the analysis by incorporating Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity continuum into the classical Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. To include the surrounding elastic medium, the Pasternak elastic foundation model is utilized, including shear deforma...
