PRENTICE/HALL

Since the Second World War, Europe has undergone a continual invasion: wave after wave of American popular culture. The diffusion of American culture in Europe is both a European story about America and an American story about Europe. This work examines this cross-cultural phenomenon from the European viewpoint. Nearly two dozen European experts in their respective fields offer an invigorating, engaging, and open-minded examination of America as perceived with the acute insight of the interested European outsider―a fruitful tradition that stretches back to Lafayette, de Tocqueville, and Goethe, to name three. Of interest to scholars, students, and general readers alike.
The book's focus is both sensuous and intellectual: how America is seen (The Image); heard (Popular Music); perused (The Written Word); digested (Food); learned from its common ways (Social Customs); perceived by minorities (Ethnic Cultures); and taken as an instrument of change (Americanization). It is the first book of its kind published in the United States. It is rich with selected, up-to-date critical bibliographies in areas for which very little information is otherwise available. In sum: a cogent, cross-cultural analysis of how U.S. popular culture exposes both European dreams of well-being and nightmares of discontent. These are insights which deserve to be savored.

Bioavailability, Bioaccessibility and Mobility of Environmental Contaminants (Analytical Techniques in the Sciences (AnTs))

This book covers all aspects of bioavailability, as related to environmental contaminants. After a discussion of the definition of bioavailability and its context, focus is placed on the role of risk assessment and bioavailability. Methods of analysis are then discussed including a range of atomic spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques for metal analysis and chromatographic approaches for persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The occurrence, properties and eco-toxicity of POPs and metals in the soil/sediment environment are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the uptake of POPs and metals by plants (phytoextraction). Examples of POPs and metals in the environment are reviewed. 
Methods to assess the bioavailability of POPs and metals in the environment are discussed. The particular approaches considered are: <ul>
<li>non-exhaustive extraction techniques</li> <li>single extraction techniques</li> <li>sequential extraction techniques</li> <li>use of cyclodextrin and surfactants</li> <li>in-vitro gastrointestinal methods including physiological-based extraction test</li> <li>the use of bioasssays including earthworms.</li> </ul>
Finally, selected case studies highlight the importance of determining the bioavailability of POPs and metals.

Extraction Techniques in Analytical Sciences

This book coves one of the most important areas in analytical sciences, extraction techniques for organic compounds in environmental and related matrices. This text discusses all of the key stages for analysing a sample for organic compounds from the initial sampling protocols, the range of different extraction techniques for solid, liquid and air samples through to the final chromatographic analysis. 
The topics covered include: <ul>
<li>Initial steps for solid, aqueous and air sampling.</li> <li>Extraction techniques for aqueous samples, including LLE, purge and trap, SPE, SPME, SBSE, SDME, membrane microextraction and MPES.</li> <li>Extraction techniques for solid samples, including Soxhlet, 'Soxtec', Shake-flask, sonication, PFE, MAE, SFE and MSPD.</li> <li>Extraction techniques for air sampling, including whole air, enrichment approaches and desorption techniques.</li> <li>Pre-concentration approaches for post-extraction.</li> <li>Practical aspects for chromatographic analysis (GC and HPLC) of organic compounds.</li> <li>Quality assurance aspects of analysis.</li> <li>Health and safety considerations.</li> </ul>
Key features include: <ul>
<li>Up-to-date information on the latest development in extraction techniques for organic compounds in environmental and food matrices.</li> <li>Ideal for use as a self-study guide, as the basis of a taught course or guided reading for new 'early-career' researchers.</li> <li>Includes a guide for the reader to other sources of information.</li> </ul>
Extraction Techniques in Analytical Sciences is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as providing an invaluable starting point for individuals undertaking applied research in the fields of analytical, bioanalytical, environmental and food sciences. The Analytical Techniques in the Sciences series of books provides coverage of all of the major analytical techniques and their application in the most important areas of physical, life and materials science. Each text is presented in an open learning/distance learning style, in which the learning objectives are clearly identified. the reader's understanding of the material is constantly evaluated by the use of self-assessment and discussion questions.

This book covers one of the most important areas in analytical sciences, i.e. that of extraction techniques for organic compounds in environmental and related matrices, e.g. food. This text discusses all of the key stages for analysing a sample for organic compounds from the initial sampling protocols through to the range of different extraction techniques used for solid, liquid and air samples and finally through to the final chromatographic analysis. The text provides detailed information on specific extraction techniques to prepare samples for organic compound analysis. 
The topics covered include the following: <ul>
<li>Initial steps for solid, aqueous and air sampling.</li> <li>Extraction techniques for aqueous samples, including LLE, purge and trap, SPE, SPME, SBSE, SDME, membrane microextraction and MEPS.</li> <li>Extraction techniques for solid samples, including Soxhlet, "Soxtec", shake-flask, sonication, PFE, MAE, SFE and MSPD.</li> <li>Extraction techniques for air sampling, including whole air, enrichment approaches and desorption techniques.</li> <li>Pre-concentration approaches for post-extraction.</li> <li>Practical aspects for chromatographic analysis (GC and HPLC) of organic compounds.</li> <li>Quality assurance aspects of analysis.</li> <li>Health and safety considerations.</li> </ul>
Key features include the following: <ul>
<li>Up-to-date information on the latest development in extraction techniques for organic compounds in environmental and food matrices.</li> <li>Written in the AnTS style, it is ideal for use as a self-study guide, as the basis of a taught course or guided reading for new "early-career" researchers.</li> <li>Includes a resources section to guide the reader to other sources of information.</li> </ul>
Extraction Techniques in Analytical Sciences should prove invaluable to students who are studying university-level courses – "undergraduate- to postgraduate-taught". The text will also prove invaluable as a key starting point for individuals undertaking applied research in the fields of analytical, bioanalytical, environmental and food sciences. The Analytical Techniques in the Sciences series of books provides coverage of all of the major analytical techniques and their application in the most important areas of physical, life and material sciences. Each text is presented in an open learning/distance learning style, in which the learning objectives are clearly identified. The reader's understanding of the material is constantly evaluated by the use of self-assessment and discussion questions. Series Editor: David J. Ando
