I always use one or two statements from this little handy book, to inspire or encourage my colleagues and or friends. Now, a friend of mine wanted to buy it, I think I have to buy one and airmail it to her in Israel.

This book is the companion to Sittig's Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals and Carcinogens, 4th edition. Hazardous chemicals listed in Sittig are the basis of this book. "This book is intended for chemists, toxicologists, laboratory technicians, manufacturers, safety professionals and government personnel involved in environmental and industrial safety and health matters."

The resource is divided into eight sections. Section 1 is the largest section and takes up half the book. You will find an alphabetical list of hazardous chemicals and their manufacturers names. It also lists the country of the manufacturer if not made in the U.S.

Section 2 (International Directory of Manufacturers of Hazardous Chemicals) is an alphabetical list by country of chemical names and their manufacturer. Each entry includes address, phone, fax, email, and website. It may also include parent company, subsidiaries/affiliates and stock listing.

Sections 3 (International Chemical Industry Organizations), Section 4 (Professional Environmental Health and Industrial Hygiene Organizations) and Section 5 (International Environmental Protection Agencies) are all organized alphabetically by country and list organization or agency name, address, phone, fax, email, and website. Some entries include a brief description of the organization. Only federal agencies are listed for the United Statesin Section 5.

Section 6 (State Environmental, Health and Occupational Safety Agencies) is organized by state or U.S. territory and includes agency name, address, phone, fax, email, and website.

Hotline or database name, responsible organization, hotline number, email, website and organization descriptions are listed. Useful websites include those from .com, .edu, .org, and .gov websites. Many of the listed hotlines from federal agencies. Many database listings include contact phone numbers, which is a great feature.

Section 8 (Poison Control Centers) is organized by state and lists organization name, address, emergency phone number or hotline, and the area served. The book also includes an index.

This is an excellent resource. It is very easy to use and includes quality sources. It will serve as a nice jumping point for further research. This reviewer gives International Resources Guide to Hazardous Chemicals: Manufacturers, Agencies, Organizations, and Sources of Information an enthusiastic recommendation to all libraries concerned with environmental and chemical safety issues.

Rhonda Gowler Greene's Jamboree Day tells of a celebration among the animals and those who journey to the party. Big, bright color illustrations by Jason Wolff pack a lively account of a forest-wide event.

This is an Excellent book for beginners. The recipes give ingredients found in American markets. This is very useful if you don't live near a rare Japanese market. If you want to learn to cook Japanese dishes, this is the best place to start.

So much information packed in such a wonderfully entertaining and informative book. This is a gem, I found this to be quite helpful in helping me learn to use the internet for reasearch and loved the section on creating a Bibliography, a great search engine delivers a great product.

I really like this book. Robin is bored. Melissa Berger becomes her friend. They sleep over. But when Robin finds Melissa reading her diary, she gets mad at her. Then Jenny moves next door.

Her dad is in love with another girl. Her mom wants to move to Texas. Neither one of them want Jenny. Jenny gets to live with her grandparents in Chicago. Melissa is Robin's friend again. But Robin will never forget her Jenny summer.

This is a book well worth reading for anyone interested in WW2, The trials that took place after the war, The Holocaust and the basis of criminal law itself.

This is a compelling story of one decent, civilized man; a lawyer, Colonel William Denson, who found himself in an almost impossible position: As lead prosecutor in the trials of the Nazi criminals at Dachau, Mauthausen and other camps--how was he to handle and balance the common, accepted practices of law and jurisprudence when faced with the almost incomprehensible crimes of the Holocaust.

The book is about Denson's personal struggle with these trials and about the trials themselves. Also, of course, about the details of the camps and the perpatrators and the victims.
These trials, along with the larger, more famous Nuremberg trials, helped establish the foundations for all the international criminal tribunals that have followed.
The book examines the political winds that blew behind the scenes of the trials and how that affected the charges brought and the final outcomes of the trials (including sentencing).

If you are interested in how humanity evolves, especially in the area of international law and punishing international criminals, I advise you to read this book.

Richard "Dutch" Hardorff is one of the most thorough and objective students of General Custer's "last stand". His love of the truth and respect for the Indian tribes and their homeland is inspiring. His writing is captivating and fresh, especially considering the extensive treatment of the subject. Mr. Hardorff provides a lively and thought-provoking perspective that one would never get from the 'history' books. Truly an exceptional book and consistent with his fine other writings.

"Language" can not adequately convey the importance/value of this book to those who seek to understand the "original meaning" of the United States Constitution. When I purchased this book, I was concerned that, upon close examination, I would discover that its purpose was to justify much of the Supreme Court's illegitimate jurisprudence over the past 100 years by misrepresenting (i.e. taking out of context) various historical documents. I quickly learned that this was indeed NOT the case. The Editor-in-Chief, Thurston Greene sums up the content of the book quite nicely in his preface, "It is strictly factual. There is no commentary, no speculation, no theorizing, no argumentation. Not a word that was written after the constitutional cake was baked . . . This book is a tool for the curious, for all those who realize how much more there is to know . . . ." Well said sir, well said.
