This powerful book is about one of the most controversial realities in our modern world: the existence of slave labor in the 21st century, with millions of people today living in horrendous conditions of abuse and subjugation. It is the heroic story of missionary priest Fr. Christopher Hartley who, inspired by the Gospel, committed his life to fight for such workers in the sugar cane industry of the Dominican Republic so they could live and die with the human dignity that was denied them. When he arrived in 1997, Fr. Hartley carried out intense work of evangelization and, calling on the social doctrine of the Church, denounced the situation of slavery of his faithful: he proclaimed it in a s...
Phosphorus compounds play a leading role in several major industries and an auxiliary role in many others. They are components of adhesives, cosmetics, detergents, foods, fertilizers, flame retardants, fluorescent lamps, matches, medicines, paints, pesticides, plastics, rust-proofing compositions, semiconductors, and many other industrial materials. This book summarizes the key features of phosphorus chemistry, biochemistry, and technology. Providing a comprehensive, well-organized, and effective resource for scientists and engineers working with phosphorus, it includes topics such as oxyphosphorus compounds, carbophosphorus compounds, azaphosphorus compounds, and metallophosphorus compounds.
J. R. Hartley's best-known catch to date is the public imagination. Here are his elusive fishing recollections told in a series of sometimes vividly comic chronological cameos, ranging period and location from York school days in the early 1930s through memorable outings on stream, spate river and loch to startling conclusion half a lifetime later on a Scottish summer night. Complimented by his protege Patrick Benson's evocative illustrations and with his anglers expertise lightly threaded throughout, J. R.'s story will touch every fly fisherman's experience. But it is book too that will appeal to everyone even those who have never held a rod, for the engaging point that emerges of the ultimate reluctant hero.

Organophosphorus Chemistry provides a comprehensive annual review of the literature. Coverage includes phosphines and their chalcogenides, phosphonium salts, low coordination number phosphorus compounds, penta- and hexa-coordinated compounds, tervalent phosphorus acids, nucleotides and nucleic acids, ylides and related compounds, and phosphazenes. The series will be of value to research workers in universities, government and industrial research organisations, whose work involves the use of organophosphorus compounds. It provides a concise but comprehensive survey of a vast field of study with a wide variety of applications, enabling the reader to rapidly keep abreast of the latest developme...
This book presents the work of the artist Paddy Hartley, in particular as it is reflected in Project Facade, 1914FACES2014 and Hartley's Surgical Sculptures and Face Corsets. These projects are all concerned with the face, and with the ways in which it can be repaired, manipulated and recontextualised. Hartley's striking work incorporates surgical and pharmaceutical equipment as well as steel, scrap metal, digital embroidery and textiles in order to set out a critique of how we think about the face today. That critique is rooted in history, particularly the history of the facially injured servicement of the First World War and the pioneering treatment they underwent. Paddy Hartley: of Faces and Facades brings together this work in book form for the first time, presenting previously unpublished texts, drawings and photographs which document a remarkable creative process and a history that is still insufficiently explored.

Keratin fibres, particularly wool fibres, constitute animportant natural raw material in textiles due to their comfort andthermal proprieties. Wool coloration demands an understanding ofthe complex nature of the interplay between wool fibre chemistry,morphology and the coloration processes. The Coloration of Wool and other Keratin Fibres is acomprehensive treatment, written by leading international experts,of the chemistry and chemical processes involved in wool dyeing,printing, preparation and finishing. The book covers: the chemical and physical structure of wool keratin fibres,detailing their complex heterogeneity and the subtle links betweenfibre structure and dyeability the coloration o...
