Anticosti: The Untamed Island

McGraw-Hill/Ryerson

This is the story of the Highland Scots who sailed to Pictou, Nova Scotia, in 1773. These intrepid emigrants went for many reasons: the famine of the previous spring, pressures of population growth, intolerable rent increases, trouble with the law, and the raw hunger of landless men to own land of their own. Upon arrival at Pictou they found they had been deceived. The promise of prime farming land turned out to be virgin forest. Only the kindness of the Mi'kmaq and the few New Englanders already settled there enabled them to survive until they learned how to exploit the forests and clear land for themselves. But survive they did, and their prosperity encouraged shiploads of emigrants, many fellow clansmen, to join them, making north eastern Nova Scotia a true New Scotland.

Multimedia Environmental Models: The Fugacity Approach, Third Edition, takes a broad approach of viewing chemical behavior in the total biosphere of connected biotic and abiotic compartments. Chemicals are subject to the laws of "mass balance," a constraint that provides the opportunity to establish quantitative expressions for chemical fate that are central to chemical management and regulatory legislation. 
This book employs both the conventional concentration-based procedures and those based on application of the more elegant and powerful concept of fugacity to characterize equilibrium, steady-state distribution, and time-dependent transport between environmental phases such as air, water, and soil. Organic chemicals are emphasized because they are more easily generalized when assessing environmental behavior. 
Features 
Illustrates professional approaches to calculating the fate of chemicals in the environment 
Explicitly details all worked examples in an annotated step-by-step fashion 
Presents real-life freely downloadable models of use to government, industry, and private consulting professionals and students alike 
Clarifies symbols and notation

This is the moving story of the mass migration that brought a million Irish men and women to Canada in the first half of the nineteenth century. After leaving conditions so bad that one witness described how “they wandered into towns and died in the streets,” many arrived penniless, hoping to “make good” in the new world. In one tragic year, 5,000 died at sea and another 5,400 got no farther than a grave on Grosse Île. But, despite the countless daily hardships facing settlers in a harsh new land, by the time of Confederation the Irish were the second-largest ethnic group after the French.

Physical-Chemical Properties and Environmental Fate Handbook on CD-ROM

Assessing chemical fate locally, regionally, and globally is complicated by the large (and increasing) number of chemicals of potential concern, by uncertainties in their physical-chemical properties, and by lack of knowledge of prevailing environmental conditions. Reported values of properties often conflict. Some are measured accurately, some approximately, and some estimated by various correlation schemes from molecular structure. In some cases, units or chemical identity are wrongly reported. When you need to use such data, you must be able to select the "best" or "right" values. Physical-Chemical Properties and Environmental Fate Handbook on CD-ROM brings together physical-chemical data for similarly structured groups of chemical substances which influence their fate in the multimedia environment of air, water, soils, sediments, and resident biota. This continually updated CD-ROM synthesizes the comprehensive five-volume set of the Illustrated Handbook of Physical-Chemical Properties and Environmental Fate for Organic Chemicals - and includes 100 new compounds -covering:monoaromatic hydrocarbons, chlorobenzenes, and PCBspolynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated dioxins, and dibenzofuransvolatile organic chemicalsoxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur-containing compoundspesticides

Transport and transformation processes as well as physical-chemical properties are key for determining the exposure and effects of various chemicals to humans and other organisms. The Handbook of Physical-Chemical Properties and Environmental Fate for Organic Chemicals, Second Edition on CD-ROM brings together all four volumes of the recently published print edition into a user-friendly and fully searchable digital reference. The handbook presents environmentally relevant physical-chemical property data pertaining to numerous groups of chemical substances, culled from peer-reviewed journals and other valuable sources on over 1200 chemicals. It also provides new data on the temperature dependence of selected physical-chemical properties, allowing scientists and engineers to perform better chemical assessments for climatic conditions outside the most commonly reported 20-25-degree range.
