This new reference helps readers to understand the different kinds of drugs, how they work, and how they interact with foods and other durgs. Each article discusses a particular drug's history, its purpose, what it treats, how it is used, off-label uses, differences in its use and effect among varying ethnic and social groups, side effects, and future prospects for improvements or new drugs of the same type. Also discussed are the history of the pharmaceuticals industry in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration approval process for new drugs, and the economic, political, and social issues that affect the development and sale of therapeutic drugs. Appendixes include abbreviations commonly used in prescriptions, common errors with medications, online drug databases, prescription drug assistance programs, state boards of pharmacy, pharmaceutical associations, and bibliographies"--http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504126http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504127Description: "Preface Everything that exists is made of atoms, and most of those substances contain groups of two or more of these bonded together to form molecules. Chemistry is the science of molecules. From cooking to medicine, from engineering to art, it is everywhere"--http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504127http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503126Description: "Newly updated throughout, and now covering 118 elements, this crystal-clear guide to the periodic table illuminates the basic concepts of chemistry as it traces the history and development of our knowledge of the material world. In this fascinating volume, Albert Stwertka makes complex ideas and terms easily understandable, drawing upon engaging historical anecdotes and everyday examples to clarify the text, which is complemented by numerous illustrations, many in full color. Since the second edition, many new elements have been named and discovered, including Darmstadtium, Roentgenium, and Copernicium, and the elements currently called Ununtrium, Ununpentium, Ununhexium, Ununseptium, and Ununoctium. The third edition provides thorough coverage of all these new discoveries. In addition to the new elements, Stwertka has brought the information about the elements in the second edition up-to-date, based on the latest research. He discusses a cylindrical molecule of carbon known as a "nanotube," which has become a do-all wonder substance, touted for use in everything from X-ray machines to paint. A new form of the element boron has been found that is nearly as hard as diamond. Its superior heat resistance could make it attractive for certain industrial uses. And a new particle detector using ultra-pure liquid xenon has been constructed beneath 5,000 feet of rock in Italy to detect dark matter. Stwertka also covers the 2010 Nobel-winning work on graphene, an ultrathin form of carbon that is vital for future generations of computers and touch screens, the discovery of new superconductors, and the development of new uses for the rare earth elements. Bringing the periodic table into the 21st century, this engrossing guide to the elements will fascinate everyone curious about the basic building blocks of the material world"--http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503126http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504129Description: This book serves as a hands-on guide to various poison treatments and offers supplemental public health information. Each two-page unit features concise text on the left complemented by full-color illustrations on the opposing page. The expert author distinguishes harmful toxic substances and catalogues their specific effects on the human body, plants, animals, and the surrounding environment. The handbook also addresses other topics, including biological warfare, modern toxicological methods, and threshold values. Features include: succinct, user-friendly organization so readers can navigate the content with ease; over 600 detailed images and diagrams arranged on 150 full-color plates illustrate exposures and toxicological effects on humans, plants, and animals; well-researched, objective risk analysis on toxic exposures accompanied by relevant images; extensive glossary of key toxicological terms that provide readers with the accurate information they need to avoid dangerous confusion.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504129http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=508562Description: A readable and non-specialist account of the discovery of penicillin, streptomycin and other antibiotics; recent developments and future prospects.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=508562http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504130Description: "Organic Structural Spectroscopy authoritatively presents the fundamentals of all four principal spectroscopic methods: nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy."--pub. desc.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504130http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504132Description: Like many people, Beth Terry didn't think an individual could have much impact on the environment. But while laid up after surgery, she read an article about the staggering amount of plastic polluting the oceans and decided then and there to kick her plastic habit. Now she wants to teach you how you can too.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504132http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504901Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504901http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504133Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504133http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=508564Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=508564
