Winner, 2001 Lewis Mumford Award for Outstanding Scholarship in the Ecology of Technics sponsored by the Media Ecology Association (MEA). and Winner, 2001 Marshall McLuhan Award for Outstanding Book in the Field of Media Ecology, sponsored by the Media Ecology Assoication (MEA).

Media critics remain captivated by the modernist myth of the new: they assume that digital technologies such as the World Wide Web, virtual reality, and computer graphics must divorce themselves from earlier media for a new set of aesthetic and cultural principles. In this richly illustrated study, Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin offer a theory of mediation for our digital age that challenges this assumption. They argue that new visual media achieve their cultural significance precisely by paying homage to, rivaling, and refashioning such earlier media as perspective painting, photography, film, and television. They call this process of refashioning "remediation," and they note that earlier media have also refashioned one another: photography remediated painting, film remediated stage production and photography, and television remediated film, vaudeville, and radio..

The latest break through research from US EPA scientists in 2007 shows that indoor mold problems do actually cause asthma. Conversely, proper removal of mold can significantly reduce the symptoms of asthma. We review these incredible new findings and explain what YOU can do to fix the problems and heal the child. Such fixes do NOT have to be expensive. Sometimes all it takes is stopping a water leak causing the mold and upgrading your AC filter! Sounds simple. NOT. A major problem is that most mold remediation is improperly done. Mold professionals have been taught by the chemical companies that using EPA cleaners approved for household use is bad for business. . . because using these cleaners is hard work. Rather they are taught to use commercial chemicals called biocides to simply spray on mold leaving dead mold that is no less of a health problem than live mold (according to the EPA.) And leaving chemical residues that can result in a house much sicker than what they started with. Did you know that the total training for a mold remediation contractor to become a Board Certified Mold Remediation professional is 3 days? Is it no wonder than most mold remediation work fails? Improper mold removal and improper use of chemical biocides can actually worsen or even be the cause of childhood asthma as well as other ailments for both children as well as adults. In this book we explain how to identify mold related problems and how to best fix them using environmentally, safe techniques. The author, Gary Rosen, is a Ph.D. biochemist and state licensed building contractor who restores mold and water damage homes and businesses to safe and healthy places to live and work for children and mold sensitive individuals. Dr. Rosen is the author of 4 books on mold including the popular "When Traditional Medicine Fails: Your Guide to Mold Toxins" available on Amazon.com.

Effective and enduring site restoration involves professionals from many branches of science and engineering. Geologists, hydrologists, chemists, microbiologists and meteorologists all play a part in remediation efforts-as do civil, chemical, mechanical and environmental engineers. When the time comes for all-important design calculations, that's where conflicts between disciplines become apparent. Due to certain differences in educational training, the ability of environmental professionals to perform or review design calculations varies. Bridge the gap with Practical Design Calculations for Groundwater and Soil Remediation. Jeff Kuo's hands-on experience as a consultant and teacher of soil/groundwater remediation informs this collection of the most practical and relevant working information. Written in a user-friendly, "cookbook-style" format, readers can promptly access the necessary information. More than 200 equations, coupled with tables and figures, allow a clear understanding of purposes and procedures.
