Synopsis

Delve into the multifaceted dimensions of 'Chemical Warfare,' an exhaustive anthology that lays bare the complex interplay between chemistry and human conflict. This collection, without aligning itself overtly to any singular literary tradition, presents a spectrum of styles that range from technical examinations to reflective narratives, making for a compelling inquiry into the implications of chemical technologies in warfare. Each piece within the anthology is notable for its rigorous analysis and poignant insights, collectively illustrating the moral, ethical, and humanistic challenges posed by chemical warfare. The anthology brings together the intellectual rigor of Amos A. Fries and Clarence J. West, whose contributions and leadership amalgamate the pioneering research with the reflective voice of history's perennial conversation on warfare and science. Both authors have been instrumental in chronicling and dissecting the ethical complexities intrinsic to the phenomenon of chemical warfare, linking past practices with contemporary debates. This work aligns with the broader historical and cultural discourse on the militarization of science, enhancing the readers' comprehension of both the power and the perils of scientific innovation. Recommended for those seeking to unravel the intricate layers of scientific and moral inquiry, 'Chemical Warfare' stands as an essential resource. It invites readers to embark on an enlightening exploration of varied perspectives and methodologies, all within a singular corpus. This volume serves as a crucial academic tool, fostering deeper dialogue and understanding about warfare's evolving landscape and the enduring quest to balance scientific progress with ethical responsibility.

    With a reputation as the hot-air balloon capital of the world and the home of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta®, the southwestern desert city of Albuquerque frequently showcases the magic and adventure of ballooning. This legacy links back to the 1880s and a man by the name of Park Van Tassel. Through his pioneering flight, Van Tassel not only opened the skies to future generations across New Mexico, but he also opened minds to the possibility of manned flight throughout the American West. 
     
     
     
    A charismatic, P. T. Barnum–like showman, Van Tassel rose from obscurity to introduce the new science of ballooning and parachuting throughout the West. Van Tassel toured extensively—from California to Utah, Colorado, and Louisiana and later embarking on an international journey that took him to Hawaii, Australia, Southeast Asia, India, Africa, and beyond. Sky Rider weaves together the many threads of Van Tassel's extraordinary life journey, situating him at last in his rightful place among the prominent aerial exhibitionists of his time.

    A memoir about downward mobility, disability and the power of hope. 
    Sam always knew he was starting life on the back foot. When his parents split, Sam, his mother and his brother had to learn to survive in a world not built for single-parent families. Add to that Sam’s diagnosis with a form of dwarfism and the odds seemed stacked against them. As surgeons kept breaking and resetting Sam’s legs in attempts to keep him walking, disability and poverty collided, and it took all the family’s strength not to crumple in the impact. 
    With each change in circumstance – jobs gained and lost, relationships starting and ending, moving between city and country and from school to school – Sam tried to make sense of the adult decisions that kept shaking his world. Armed with hope, the support of friends and teachers, and the unwavering love of his mum, he began to claw his way to a brighter future. 
    In Broke, lawyer and disability advocate Sam Drummond weaves a poignant, stirring and deeply compassionate tale of life on the fringes. It’s a story of broken families, broken bodies and a broken system that constantly lets vulnerable Australians down.
