The environment is "in." Global warming. Ozone depletion. Toxic waste. Acid rain. Concern that we are sinking ever deeper into "environmental debt" has sown the seeds of a growing U.S. Green Movement, transplanted from Europe. Unfortunately, all of the current talk and activity do not add up to a coherent environmental strategy on the part of government, industry, and environmental organizations. Here is the first book to explain why only a preventive environmental strategy can work, because growing population, consumption, and industrialization cripple current, rather haphazard, remedial efforts. Authored by two leading experts, this book shows how our society can make more with less, be more competitive and less polluting, while maintaining our standard of living by reducing and eventually eliminating the production of wastes and pollutants from industry, commerce, homes, farms, institutions.… This may seem far-fetched, but be prepared to discover in these pages that there can be a middle ground between ecology and economy—and that you can help achieve it. You’ll find data and examples—facts few have had access to before—that any person can use, from engineers in industry to office workers to activists. Every concerned citizen will also want to consider the authors’ innovative suggestions for taxing wastes and using the proceeds to help companies and communities switch to new industrial processes. Also, you should evaluate their proposals to require meaningful waste and toxicity information on product labels, to make bans on chemicals and products a more credible and available corrective measure, and to secure permanent, high-level government support for pollution prevention. But, above all, this book is a self-help book for all whose home is Earth. An ounce of pollution prevention that’s worth a pound of environmental cure. A way for concerned individuals to become agents for change in the marketplace, the workplace, and the voting place. Read on.

Sprawl Kills is a hard-hitting book with a new market approach for replacing sprawl with Healthy Places. It explains why America is balanced precariously on the edge of a cliff, teetering as it looks at two distinct futures. One where citizens are empowered as consumers and voters to get real housing, community and transportation choices for leading healthier, physically active lives, while the other is fraught with obesity, exclusion, worsening traffic, and disappearing greenspace. You will learn how to fight corrupt sprawl politics, identify sprawl shills, and kill sprawl before it kills you.

The increasing use of powder metallurgy techniques to make an almost infinite variety of materials and products places greater emphasis on utilization of sophisticated experimental techniques. Usually research and development efforts initiate the use of newly developed equipment and analytical procedures. Indeed, the contents of this book are strongly linked to research endeavors, in both the academic and industrials worlds. However, this volume can serve a much needed function in industrial applied powder metallurgy. Although many research ers will find the contents of great value, the technical personnel more involved with production, quality control, customer services and product design now have at their dispo sal a means to learn about the potential uses of several very important techniques. With today's "knowledge explosion" the present set of papers greatly facilitates the comprehension and adoption of new procedures. If powder metallurgy is to continue its rapid rate of growth in virtually all segments of industry, then the transition of modern equipment and procedures from tools of research and development laboratories to everyday plant operations and applications must be hastened. The editors hope that this volume aids in this process, as well as assisting students and researchers by providing a ready source of up-to-date useful information.

Every American feeling anxious, concerned, and frightened about the COVID pandemic will benefit from reading Pandemic Blunder: Fauci and Public Health Blocked Early Home COVID Treatment. This book will help everyone protect their health by becoming better informed about medicines for preventing and curing the COVID infection. Pandemic Blunder is the first book to explain in detail how and why the federal government failed to do what medicine has always done: promote and support the earliest medical treatment that people can use in their home. Missing from current government actions is the early home/outpatient treatment for COVID that keeps people out of hospitals. The result was a pandemic blunder of massive proportions.Pandemic Blunder contains considerable medical information and data to support a number of proven safe, cheap generic medicines and protocols that knock out the coronavirus when given early. Read about the pioneering, courageous doctors who have been using innovative approaches to prevent their COVID patients from needing hospital care and facing death. The book includes many expert opinions from doctors who support the view that 70 to 80 percent of COVID deaths - many hundreds of thousands - could have been prevented. Don't be victimized by disinformation and propaganda from mainstream media. Learn how corrupt forces are aiming to make billions of dollars from expensive medicines and vaccines, and how hundreds of thousands of deaths could have-and should have-been prevented Dr. Joel S. Hirschhorn has decades of experience working on health issues and is a member of the two medical organizations most active in advocating for early home COVID treatment, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, and America's Frontline Doctors. He wrote Pandemic Blunder to stop the blundering. It is not too late. We can prevent more deaths from COVID.
