Beschreibung

Toxic Waste Trails uncovers the hidden network of global toxic waste, revealing how consumerism fuels a dangerous trade that disproportionately impacts vulnerable communities. The book explores the physical routes of waste, the legal loopholes that enable its movement, and the resulting environmental health consequences. For example, electronic waste, often touted for its recycling potential, frequently ends up illegally dumped in developing nations, exposing residents to harmful toxins. 

 
The book argues that current international regulations, like the Basel Convention, are insufficient to prevent the unethical disposal of toxic waste. Through case studies spanning Southeast Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe, the book examines instances of illegal dumping and regulatory failures. It highlights the urgent need for stronger international cooperation and a reassessment of waste management practices.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the key players involved in the global waste trade. It then delves into specific case studies to illustrate the problem's scope and impact, before finally offering potential solutions. By blending macro-level analysis of international trade with micro-level accounts from affected communities, Toxic Waste Trails provides a unique and valuable perspective on this critical current event.

Women of the American Revolution

Samantha Wilcoxson

Women of the American Revolution explores the trials of war and daily life for women in the United States during the War of Independence. What challenges were caused by the division within communities as some stayed loyal to the king and others became patriots? How much choice did women have as their loyalties were assumed to be that of their husbands or fathers? 
 
 
 
The lives of women of the American Revolution will be examined through an intimate look at some significant women of the era. Many names will be familiar, such as Martha Washington who traveled to winter camps to care for her husband and rally the troops and Abigail Adams who ran the family's farms and raised children during John's long absences. Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, popularized by Lin Manual Miranda's Hamilton, was also an early activist working tirelessly for multiple social causes. Decide for yourself if the espionage of Agent 355 or the ride of Sybil Ludington are history or myth. 
 
 
 
Not all American women served the side of the revolutionaries. Peggy Shippen gambled on the loyalist side and paid severe consequences. From early historian Mercy Otis Warren to Dolley Madison, who defined what it means to be a US First Lady, women of the American Revolution strived to do more than they had previously thought possible during a time of hardship and civil war.

Unforgettable You

Chelsea M. Cameron

Reid: According to my mother, I ruined my life the minute I quit ballet in college and destroyed her dreams of having a professional dancer in the family. My steady bartending job, friends, and fanfic hobby weren’t good enough apparently. Not that I cared what she thought anymore. Mostly. Things had been pretty conflict-free up until my new neighbor showed up and threw everything into chaos.
Sophie: I never expected to run into Reid Hayward of all people when I moved into my first off-campus apartment. To say that she isn’t thrilled to see me is an understatement. That’s fair, considering the last time we saw each other she and my sister were in the middle of a very loud breakup that I witnessed. Reid is still livid though, as if I was the one who lied to her and ended the relationship years ago.
Reid: The last time I saw Sophie Love, she was this annoying teenager who was always asking to tag along on my dates with her sister. That was a longggg time ago, because she’s all grown up now and I’m doing my very best not to notice. That becomes even more of a challenge when I discover that our beds are up against the same wall and I can hear … a lot of things. Personal, intimate things, if you know what I mean. My first instinct is to pound on the wall to get her to stop. My second is to listen.
Sophie: Mortification doesn’t begin to cover the way I feel after I realize she heard me last night. The awkward conversation after doesn’t kill me, but it does give me an idea. You see, I’ve only recently realized I’m not as straight as I always thought, and Reid works at the only sapphic bar in the state. If there’s anyone who knows about this stuff, it’s her. What if she took me under her wing and taught me how to date a woman? Reid doesn’t even like me, so it wouldn’t mean anything. Just a way to get all my nervousness and fumbling out of the way before I try to do this for real. It’s a wild idea, but what’s even wilder is that she agrees.
