Rock archives: A photographic journey through the first two decades of rock & roll

Hail to the King! These incredible photos of the youthful Elvis, taken as he prepared and performed on the Milton Berle show in 1956, capture all his sex appeal and incomparable charisma. Presley appears at the height of his glory, caught in a variety of moods. There he is, signing autographs with his arms slung casually around two girls' shoulders. Rehearsing with Uncle Miltie, he gazes pensively at the floor. Other times, he stares directly into the camera, pouting ever so slightly, or sings with the band, his face alight with laughter. Almost all the pictures seem delightfully unposed and relaxed. Though no still image can fully capture Elvis in motion, the series of performance shots do justice to the movements that set millions of teenage girls screaming -- and caused critics to attack his "suggestiveness". With his knees twisting in, his hips swiveled to the side, his arms akimbo, Elvis's dynamism and energy come vividly through the pages. The accompanying text gives all the lowdown on the show and the popular reaction to the performance. If you love Elvis tender, this book is a must.

Cementitious materials are being widely used as solidification/stabilisation and barrier materials for a variety of chemical and radioactive wastes, primarily due to their favourable retention properties for metals, radionuclides and other contaminants. The retention properties result from various mineral phases in hydrated cement that possess a high density and diversity of reactive sites for the fixation of contaminants through a variety of sorption and incorporation reactions. This book presents a state of the art review and critical evaluation of the type and magnitude of the various sorption and incorporation processes in hydrated cement systems for twenty-five elements relevant for a broad range of radioactive and industrial wastes. Effects of cement evolution or ageing on sorption/incorporation processes are explicitly evaluated and quantified. While the immobilisation of contaminants by mixing-in during hydration is not explicitly addressed, the underlying chemical processes are similar. A quantitative database on the solid/liquid distribution behaviour of radionuclides and other elements in hydrated cement systems is established on the basis of a consistent review and re-evaluation of literature data. In addition to recommended values, all underlying original experimental data and key experimental information are provided, which allows users to trace the given recommendations or to develop their own set of key values. This database is closely tied to the safety analysis of near surface disposal of radioactive waste in Belgium. It focuses on radioelements, toxic stable elements and heavy metals, which makes it relevant for investigations involving the interaction of radioactive and conventional contaminants with cement-based barriers.

1000 Record Covers

Record covers are a sign of our life and times. Like the music on the discs, they address such issues as love, life, death, fashion, and rebellion. For music fans the covers are the expression of a period, of a particular time in their lives. Many are works of art and have become as famous as the music they stand for--Andy Warhol's covers, for example, including the banana he designed for The Velvet Underground.
