Original Wraps, Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Second printing. A clean, tight copy. From the Preface: "One major problem posed by the use of nuclear power is the concomitant creation of highly toxic and long-lived radioactive wastes. Due to their poisonous nature and extremely long life, nearly all observers agree that high-level nuclear waste must be isolated from the environment virtually forever .Yet, as this country and others are about to embark on a vastly accelerated build-up of nuclear power plants, no assured means for the permanent containment of the wastes has been adequately proven." 50 pages. "The principal purpose of this booklet is to call attention to the nuclear waste storage problem and to promote wider citizen participation and broader public debate on whether the wastes should be generated at all and, if so, on the level of public commitment that should be made to their safe management. The booklet provides basic information about the nature, generation, and handling of radioactive wastes, the environmental and health problems posed by the wastes, and significant opportunities for concerned citizens to involve themselves in the key decisions being made now and in the next few years regarding such wastes."

Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; A Note on Style and Spelling; Introduction: Founding CEO; Notes; Bibliography and Index. "George Washington was America's first President, first Commander-in-Chief, and richest man -- a powerful model for today's leaders, from the board room to the war room. George Washignton on Leadership displays Richard Brookhiser's trademark wit and insight as he explains the techniques, style and essence of a remarkable career. Brookhiser paints a vivid portrait of Washington as general, president, and tycoon and deftly analyzes how he maximized his strength and overcame his flaws. Washington oversaw two statrups -- the army and the presidency. He chaired the most important meeting in American history -- the Constitutional Convention. He rose from being a major in the militia to become one of the most famous men in the world. At every stage in his career he had to deal with changing circumstances, from tobacco prices to geopolitics, and with wildly different classes of men, from frontiersmen to aristocrats. Washington acted as public health administrator, diversified agri-businessman, expert communicator, unflinching futurist, and brilliant manager of people. Sparkling with insight and intelligence, [the book] offers inspiration and advice for all leaders and aspiring leaders. It demonstrates that the challenges Washington faced over two hundred years ago -- in politics, war, and business -- are problems leaders continue to face in the twenty-first century, and it shows that his solutions are still as compelling as they were in his time." -- from the inner front jacket flap. "Leadership Lessons From the Father Of Our Country: WHEN THE WORLD CHANGES, CHANGE THE WORLD: Unlike many of his fellow planters, Washington looked closely at environmental and economic conditions and presciently got out of the prestige crop tobacco just as the world market headed south in 1766; DELEGATE TO INNOVATE: When, in 1789, America was crushed by debt, President Washington handed the problem to Alexander Hamilton, a 32-year-old immigrant -- because he alone had the skills to do the job; SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF: Could the address on a letter define the Revolutionary War? In July 1776, Washington thought so, and he made the enemy rewrite it twice before they got it right; CONTROL YOUR FLAWS: Washington's frequent angry flare-ups did not scar his presidency because he knew not to segue from high dudgeon into wrongful action. And, as in the case of the troublesome Citizen Genet, he learned to give his enemies enough rope to hang themselves; UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF THE OBVIOUS: As Commander-in-Chief, Washington ordered that latrines be dug and maintained -- not a routine chore for his rural soldiers -- and thus was able to maintain the health of his army; RESPECT THE POWER OF THE UNOBVIOUS: Gathering intelligence in 1776 meant sending one brave scout into enemy territory. When Nathan Hale and others died trying, Washington changed his strategy, deploying a team of spies who could lead double lives; BUILD A NETWORK OF ALLIES: Washington knew that if a leader is truly lonely at the top, he won't stay there long. When in 1778 a French officer, Thomas Consway, threatened the commander's authority, the loyal Marquis de Lafayette stepped forth and challenged Conway's sniping and carping." -- from the rear outer jacket. "This instructive account of the lesson in leadership that can be derived from George Washington's conduct in war and peace is a must for leaders, would-be leaders, and anyone who wants a good read." -- Fred I. Greenstein, Professor of Politics Emeritus, Princeton University. "No living American knows our first president more intimately than Richard Brookhiser. " -- Maj. Gen. Rober Scales (Ret.).

Paperback. Condition: New. This book features four peer-reviewed reviews on the development of fungicide resistance in agriculture.The first chapter examines how pathogens develop resistance to fungicides and reviews the ways to detect and measure resistance. The chapter also discusses mechanisms of resistance, such as target site mutation and oppression and multi-drug resistance.The second chapter builds on research covered in the first chapter and reviews the development of resistance in cereal pathogens, before presenting and evaluating a variety of anti-resistance strategies. Case studies of how data from field trials have helped illustrate the impact of different control strategies are also included.The third chapter provides a detailed overview of the use of fungicides as an effective and economic tool to control plant diseases. The chapter considers the successful development of fungicides, as well as the challenges facing future fungicide development within a more holistic and sustainable system of food production.The final chapter considers the current status of global wheat production, the impact of crop loss on food security and the emergence of the current regulatory environment surrounding pesticides. The current status of the global fungicide market and some of the major issues in its future longevity is also discussed.
