Treating Chemically Dependent Families: A Practical Systems Approach for Professionals (Professional Series)
What we know about chemical dependence and families doesn't help--what does help is what we do with what we know. Our knowledge and opinions are of no value until we translate them into clinical actions the family can hear, see, and feel. Techniques and strategies are the vehicles for this translation; they bring our concepts, theories, and hunches to bear on face-to-face encounters with families, where they can do some good.
Here is a book for any helping professional who works with families suffering from the effects of chemical dependence. Dr. Edwards is keenly aware that family is where people live out their most intimate and dynamic human experiences. Professionals won't just read this book but will experience its practical, effective techniques when working with families. At the same time, they'll discover the unique, sometimes powerful, but compassionate art and craft that is chemical dependence family therapy.
Practical and extremely useful, this book offers a systems-based approach that requires no "translation" to help families recover from chemical dependence. .

Chemically Bonded Phosphate Ceramics: Twenty-First Century Materials with Diverse Applications
The first chemically bonded phosphate ceramics (zinc phosphate dental cements) were developed over a century ago. However it has only been in the last 30 years that a new breed of materials has been discovered. This book brings together latest developments in this field including several novel ceramics, from Argonne and Brookhaven National Laboratories. Coupled with further advances in their use as biomaterials, these materials have found uses in diverse fields in recent years. Applications range from advanced structural materials to oil-well cements and stabilization and encapsulation of hazardous and radioactive waste. Such developments call a single source for their science and applications. This book provides the first comprehensive account to fulfil this need. · Providing a foundation into the latest developments in chemically bonded phosphate ceramics. · Explores new CBPC's with a wide range of practical applications. · Over 30 years worth of developments and applications in the field available in a single source.

The Chemically Controlled Cosmos: Astronomical Molecules from the Big Bang to Exploding Stars
Simple chemistry governs a host of the exotic objects that populate our cosmos. For example, molecules in the early Universe acted as natural temperature regulators, keeping the primordial gas cool and, in turn, allowing galaxies and stars to form. What are the tools of the trade for the cosmic chemist and what can they teach us about the Universe we live in? These are the questions answered in this engaging and informative guide--the first book for nonspecialists on molecular astrophysics. In clear, nontechnical terms, and without formal mathematics, Hartquist and Williams show how to study and understand the behavior of molecules in a host of astronomical situations. Readers will learn about the secretive formation of stars deep within interstellar clouds; the origin of our own solar system; the cataclysmic deaths of many massive stars that explode as supernovae; and the hearts of active galactic nuclei, the most powerful objects in the universe. This book provides an accessible introduction to a wealth of astrophysics, and an understanding of how cosmic chemistry allows the investigation of many of the most exciting questions concerning astronomy today..

Chemically Induced Birth Defects, Third Edition, (Chemically Induced Birth Defects)
This thoroughly revised and updated reference addresses the drugs and chemicals causing malformations and congenital anomalies in the human fetus-comprehensively reviewing experimental studies in animals and clinical data on human development, primarily in the organogenesis period. Addressing current public health concerns over teratogens, Chemically Induced Birth Defects, Third Edition covers and condenses the 2500 new publications on developmental toxicology that appear every year. Provides comprehensive identification of teratogens by chemical, generic, and trade names. Chemically Induced Birth Defects, Third Edition · discusses the interrelation of over 4100 chemicals in current use, still in the experimental stage, or now obsolete · covers recently available drugs, such as misoprostol and fluconazole · utilizes the latest Good Laboratory Practices-conducted studies to evaluate specific agents · investigates up-to-the-minute impairments of maternal homeostasis that may lead to teratogenesis · surveys chemicals by use, distinguishing medicinals from industrial chemicals · elucidates recent research on chemicals linked to endocrine disruption · and more! Containing over 10,000 citations from the literature, Chemically Induced Birth Defects, Third Edition deserves a place on the bookshelves of all toxicologists, teratologists, pediatricians, obstetricians, gynecologists, environmentalists, biochemists, oncologists, pharmacologists, endocrinologists, and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and medical school students in these disciplines..

Beyond the 10 Minute Mold Inspection: A Guide to Mold Assessment for the Chemically Sensitive
Sometimes all it takes for people suffering from mold related illness to start to feel better . . . is upgrading an AC filter or home vacuum cleaner! We have found over and over again that most mold problems in offices or homes are easily fixed. . . but the problem first has to be located and then has to be fixed right. In this book we tell you what you need to know to not only hire the right mold inspector, but we unravel the mystery of the inspection reports. - What do the test reports mean? - What are the limitations to testing? - How much testing needs to be done? - What do the moisture numbers mean and are they useful? And what about the different kind of testing: DNA, Air-O-Cell, total spore counts, viable culture testing? What type of testing should be ordered to make sure that you can either rule out mold or find the hidden sources of illness-promoting mold and mold toxins?.
