What's the Matter with Kansas?
One of "our most insightful social observers"* cracks the great political mystery of our time: how conservatism, once a marker of class privilege, became the creed of millions of ordinary Americans With his acclaimed wit and acuity, Thomas Frank turns his eye on what he calls the "thirty-year backlash"—the populist revolt against a supposedly liberal establishment. The high point of that backlash is the Republican Party's success in building the most unnatural of alliances: between blue-collar Midwesterners and Wall Street business interests, workers and bosses, populists and right-wingers. In asking "what 's the matter with Kansas?"—how a place famous for its radicalism became one of th...
Geochemistry
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of geochemistry. The book first lays out the ‘geochemical toolbox’: the basic principles and techniques of modern geochemistry, beginning with a review of thermodynamics and kinetics as they apply to the Earth and its environs. These basic concepts are then applied to understanding processes in aqueous systems and the behavior of trace elements in magmatic systems. Subsequent chapters introduce radiogenic and stable isotope geochemistry and illustrate their application to such diverse topics as determining geologic time, ancient climates, and the diets of prehistoric peoples. The focus then broadens to the formation of the sola...
Slaying the Dragon: The History of Addiction Treatment and Recovery in America

It is a story of addiction treatment institutions from the inebriate asylums and Keeley Institutes to Hazelden and Parkside.

Cyberstalker
When the Virtual Reality Fair arrived on the SVU quad, Elizabeth Wakefield thought it sounded like an extreme waste of time. That was before Elizabeth's twin sister, Jessica, convinced her to give virtual reality a try. That was before Elizabeth saw...him. He appeared from out of nowhere, a glowing figure with an achingly beautiful face and a wickedly familiar grin. A man she once loved--and feared. A man she thought was dead. But something evil was set into motion the day Elizabeth entered virtual reality...and it's not going to stop until he says it's over. He's William White. And he's not playing dead anymore....
Excellence Beyond Compliance
Many companies limp along from day-to-day treating the quality side of the business as a necessary evil, and doing only what is minimally necessary for compliance to regulations. This kind of approach to compliance almost always results in inefficiencies and sometimes can result in a curious kind of noncompliance. Documentation created with compliance as the sole consideration often ends up confusing the employees who must use the documentation. This book looks beyond what is necessary for compliance alone to address what makes a quality management system (QMS) both effective and efficient. This book also never forgets that real people must make any QMS work; the book provides a blueprint fo...
