Setting the World Ablaze

Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and the American Revolution

Setting the World Ablaze is the story of the American Revolution and of the three Founders who played crucial roles in winning the War of Independence and creating a new nation: George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. Braiding three strands into one rich narrative, John Ferling brings these American icons down from their pedestals to show them as men of flesh and blood, and in doing so gives us a new understanding of the passion and uncertainty of the struggle to form a new nation. A leading historian of the Revolutionary era, Ferling draws upon an unsurpassed command of the primary sources and a talent for swiftly moving narrative to give us intimate views of each of these men. He shows us both the overarching historical picture of the era and a gripping sense of how these men encountered the challenges that faced them. We see Washington, containing a profound anger at British injustice within an austere demeanor; Adams, far from home, struggling with severe illness and French duplicity in his crucial negotiations in Paris; and Jefferson, distracted and indecisive, confronting uncertainties about his future in politics. John Adams, in particular, emerges from the narrative as the most under-appreciated hero of the Revolution, while Jefferson is revealed as the most overrated, yet most eloquent, of the Founders. Setting the World Ablaze shows in dramatic detail how these conservative men--successful members of the colonial elite--were transformed into radical revolutionaries.

The Virgin Way

Selama membangun Virgin Group selama 40 tahun, Richard Branson tak pernah mundur dari tantangan-tantangan yang tampaknya aneh. Ia telah bertarung dengan raksasa bisnis seperti British Airways dan menang. Ia juga pernah menghadapi Coca-Cola ... dan kalah. Branson menceritakan gaya kepemimpinannya yang unik dan menarik dalam buku ini. Pelajarilah bagaimana kesenangan, keluarga, hasrat, dan seni mendengarkan menjadi komponen kunci kesuksesan perusahaan-perusahaan Branson-atau, seperti yang biasa diistilahkan oleh para pegawainya (sambil mengedipkan mata): the Virgin Way. Gaya Virgin. Perspektif unik ini datang dari orang yang meninggalkan sekolah pada usia enam belas tahun, pernah mengidap dyslexia (ketidakmampuan membaca dan belajar), dan tak pernah bekerja pada siapa pun. Branson mungkin terkenal karena sering berpikir "di luar kotak"-sebuah istilah yang tak disukainya, namun ia menegaskan bahwa, "Kau tak perlu berpikir di luar kotak jika kau tak membiarkan siapa pun membangun kotak itu itu di sekitarmu." The Virgin Way bukan buku biasa tentang kepemimpinan. Buku ini ditulis oleh orang yang seumur hidupnya tak pernah membaca buku tentang kepemimpinan. Bersiaplah untuk terkaget-kaget. [Mizan Publishing, Referensi, Terjemahan, Bisnis, Pemimpin, Indonesia]

Radionuclides and Heavy Metals in Environment

This volume entitled "Radionuclides and Heavy Metals in Environment" contains the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) "Monitoring of Natural and Man-Made Radionuclides and Heavy Metal Waste in Environment" that was held at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JlNR), Dubna, Russia from 3 October to 6 October, 2000. Originally, it was planned to held the ARW in 1999, the year when NATO was celebrating its 50th anniversary. Few days before opening it had to be postponed because of problems in issuing visa for all the colleagues who intended to participate. The ARW was organized and conducted by the co-directors Prof. Vladimir P. Perelygin, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia and Dr. Peter Vater, Philipps Universitat, Marburg, Germany. The JlNR was chosen as the host institute of ARW because of the lack of contact and real co-operation between the former Soviet Union (FSU) countries specialists in ecology and their Western well experienced colleagues. The selection of this location and supplementary funds provided by Russian Foundation on Basic Research, Moscow, Russia, and the JINR, Dubna., Russia made it possible to attain a rather large number of participants and observers from FSU countries. The JlNR provided to all the participants of the workshop an effective car/minibus transportation Moscow-Dubna-Moscow and a rather good accommodation in Dubna.

Causes and Effects of Heavy Metal Pollution

A heavy metal is a member of an ill-defined subset of elements that exhibit metallic properties, which would mainly include the transition metals, some metalloids, lanthanides, and actinides. Many different definitions have been proposed-some based on density, some on atomic number or atomic weight, and some on chemical properties or toxicity. The term heavy metal has been called "meaningless and misleading" in a IUPAC technical report due to the contradictory definitions and its lack of a "coherent scientific basis". As discussed below, depending on context, heavy metal can include elements lighter than carbon and can exclude some of the heaviest metals. One source defines "heavy metal" as "... common transition metals, such as copper, lead, and zinc. These metals are a cause of environmental pollution (heavy-metal pollution) from a number of sources, including lead in petrol, industrial effluents, and leaching of metal ions from the soil into lakes and rivers by acid rain."
