Katy and Carl board an old sailing ship in hopes of a better life; they have dreams of profiting from the 1800s Gold Rush in the United States. Once aboard the ship christened History, they have a grand adventure shared with Lars, First Mate Sanford, supercargo Jim Bone and the stern Captain Keely. With Katy's take-charge attitude, she and Carl help all the sailors on the ship learn better cooperation and ultimately achieve their goal of reaching the gold mines. Along the way they must deal with arguments (and even gunfights) among the crew, pirates, slave traders, frightening weather conditions, and, possibly, spirits from ship voyages of the past. Throughout the journey, which truly is the focus of this story, the crew and passengers learns valuable history related to the Gold Rush told to them by a most interesting fellow traveler. You will find that during the voyage, Katy and Carl, along with other members of the crew, learn valuable life lessons and end up wiser and more mature than when they began. History-Sailing toward Gold is the first in a series about the California Gold Rush.

Determining the presence of different types of toxic compounds (or xenobiotics) in food requires precise analytical methodologies. Examples of these techniques include separation techniques coupled to mass spectrometry, Variations in methods used depend on the physicochemical properties of each xenobiotic being tested for. Advances in the Determination of Xenobiotics in Foods explains recent developments in the field of xenobiotic determination in food. Readers are introduced to xenobiotic testing techniques through extensive reviews. Chapters also cover details about contaminants coming from food contact materials (such as plasticizers, food additives, polymer monomers/oligomers and non-int...
Neurotoxicity of Halogenated Organic Compounds, Volume 10 covers three groups of Halogenated Organic Compounds (Chlorinated, Brominated, and Fluorinated Compounds) that are legacy and emerging contaminants, providing background information, characteristics, physicochemical properties, environmental contamination, and human exposure. Specific chapters covered in this release include Perspective on Halogenated Organic Compounds, The Neurotoxicity of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Neuroendocrine Effects of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Mechanisms of PCB Neurotoxicity: AHR and THR Dogma meet RYR reality, Microbiome and the Neurotoxicity of Brominated Flame Retardants (BFRs), and much more...
