 Exposure Analysis By Wayne R. Ott, Anne C. Steinemann, Lance A. Wallace 2007 | 554 Pages | ISBN: 1566706637 | PDF | 12 MB Written by experts, Exposure Analysis is the first complete resource in the emerging scientific discipline of exposure analysis. A comprehensive source on the environmental pollutants that affect human health, the book discusses human exposure through pathways including air, food, water, dermal absorption, and, for children, non-food ingestion. The book summarizes existing definitions of exposure, dose, and related concepts and provides the mathematical framework at the heart of these conceptual definitions. Using secondhand smoke as an example, the book illustrates how exposure analysis studies can change human behavior and improve public health. An extensive section on air pollutants considers volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), fine and ultrafine particles, and the latest personal air quality monitors for measuring individual exposure. Another detailed section examines exposures to pesticides, metals such as lead, and dioxin that may occur through multiple routes such as air, food, and dust ingestion. The book explores important aspects of dermal exposure such as the absorption of volatile organic compounds while showering or bathing and exposure through multiple carrier media. The authors describe quantitative methods that have been validated for predicting the concentrations in enclosed everyday locations, such as automobiles and rooms of the home. They also discuss existing laws and examine the relationship between exposure and national policies. Defining the new field of exposure analysis, this book provides the basic tools needed to identify sources, understand causes, measure exposures, and develop strategies for improving public health.

Kennett and Andreas Fichtner English | 2021 | ISBN: 1108830749 | 505 Pages | PDF | 133 MB  Evil Archaeology: Demons, Possessions, and Sinister Relics by Heather Lynn PhD 2019 | ISBN: 1938875192 | English | 288 pages | EPUB | 4 MB An investigation into the historical and archaeological evidence of demons, curses, and possession featuring some of the most gruesome artifacts and sites ever discovered  Evidence-Based Policy: A Realist Perspective By Dr Ray Pawson 2006 | 209 Pages | ISBN: 1412910609 | PDF | 2 MB Author Ray Pawson presents a devastating critique of the dominant approach to systematic review - namely the 'meta-analytic' approach as sponsored by the Cochrane and Campbell collaborations. In its place is commended an approach that he terms 'realist synthesis'. On this vision, the real purpose of systematic review is better to understand program theory, so that policies can be properly targeted and developed to counter an ever-changing landscape of social problems. The book will be essential reading for all those who loved (or loathed) the arguments developed in Realistic Evaluation (Sage, 1997). It offers a complete blueprint for research synthesis, supported by detailed illustrations and worked examples from across the policy waterfront.  Evidence in the Psychological Therapies: A Critical Guidance for Practitioners By Chris Mace, Stirling Moorey, Bernard Roberts 2001 | 227 Pages | ISBN: 0415212480 | PDF | 2 MB Evidence-based practice is likely to dictate standards to which publicly- and insurance-funded psychotherapy will have to comply in future years. Evidence in the Psychological Therapies examines how the meaning of evidence might be established within psychotherapy, and illustrates how evidence could impact on practice across a range of clinical settings.

However, there is still a general lack of understanding of what is meant by the term 'Creative Industry', and interestingly, to date, the creative sector has not been the subject of concerted academic research. Thus, this timely book aims to inform academics, policy makers, support agencies and creative entrepreneurs about current priority issues on the Creative Industries research agenda, and platforms some of the key challenges yet to be addressed. Leading academics deal with a range of issues within the Creative Industries across different countries and contexts and the book provides valuable insights into the creative entrepreneurial process from an international perspective.
