Environmental Health Sciences Decision Making
Environmental health decision making can be a complex undertaking, as there is the need to navigate and find balance among three core elements: science, policy, and the needs of the American public. Policy makers often grapple with how to make appropriate decisions when the research is uncertain. The challenge for the policy maker is to make the right decision with the best available data in a transparent process. The Environmental Health Sciences Decision Making workshop, the first in a series, was convened to inform the Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine on emerging issues in risk management, "weight of evidence," and ethics that influence environmental health decision making. The workshop, summarized in this volume, included an overview of the principles underlying decision making, the role of evidence and challenges for vulnerable populations, and ethical issues of conflict of interest, scientific integrity, and transparency. The workshop engaged science interest groups, industry, government, and the academic sector.
The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Vital Records
The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Vital Records at the Connecticut State Library in Hartford covers 137 towns and comprises 14,333 typed pages. This magnificent collection of birth, marriage, and death records to about 1850 was the life work of General Lucius Barnes Barbour, Connecticut Examiner of Public Records from 1911 to 1934. In 2002, the Genealogical Publishing Company, under the General Editorship of Lorraine White, completed its transcription of the Barbour Collectionin 55 paperback volumes. As several of the volumes in the Barbour series are now out of stock, we have begun the process of reprinting those books so that the entire series can be available to our customers. Volume 7 is a transcription of the vital records of the towns of Colchester, Colebrook, Columbia, and Cornwall, and it contains the birth, marriage, and death records of about 40,000 individuals. Entries are in strict alphabetical order by town and give, routinely, name, date of event, names of parents, names of children, names of both spouses, and items such as age, occupation, and residence.
