Book Description
Water is a paramount determinant of quality of life. The WHO experts believe that the sickness and death rates of the world population could be reduced by 75% by maintaining good quality of drinking water. That is why thirty-one leading scientists and specialists from fifteen countries gathered in November 2003 at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on "Modern Tools and Methods of Water Treatment for Improving Living Standards" in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, to discuss the scientific concepts and practical means for the solution of the complex social, economic and ecological problems associated with water purification, consumption, conservation, and protection. All this is covered in this book of proceedings of the NATO ARW.
This book contains four parts. In Part 1, the readers will find recent advances in drinking water treatment in the United States, biological control in water-cooling towers, analytical control of drinking water quality, and the use of radionuclides for monitoring global contamination. In Part 2, some innovative methods and tools, such as electrochemically-stimulated sorption and sorption-membrane methods, a bubble-extraction method, fibroid sorbents, in-situ oxygen curtain technology, use of ion-exchange membranes, electrochemically-generated silver and copper ions and colloidal gold for water purification and post-purification are presented. In Part 3, recent studies into the treatment of wastewaters could be found. Among them: water reclamation and recycling in Danish industry, biocide polymers as a new opportunity in water treatment, optimization of galvanic wastewater treatment processes, efficiency of nitrification and denitrification processes in wastewater treatment plants, electrochemical processes for wastewater purification employing fluidized beds of particles, cold plasma as a new tool for purification of wastewater from chemical contaminants, bacteria and viruses. In Part 4, examples of management of water resources in the United Kingdom, Bulgaria, Poland, Croatia, and Romania using a variety of case studies are presented. Also, the important issue of industry-university cooperation for postgraduate education and training in the water treatment area is discussed.
We believe that this book will be helpful to the international community of scientists, specialists and students dealing with water treatment, purification, conservation and protection.

Book Description
Sites contaminated with explosive compounds, pesticides, herbicides, PCBs, and other aromatic compounds present formidable technical, regulatory, and financial challenges. The application of bioremediation technologies at such sites offers the promise of cost-effective site remediation that can serve as a key component of a well-formulated strategy for achieving site closure. This volume presents the results of bench-, pilot-, and field- scale projects focused on the use of biological approaches to remediate problem compounds, such as RDX, HMX, TNT, DDT, 2,4-D, nitro- and chlorobenzenes, nitroaniline, chloroaniline, hexachlorobenzene, PCPs, PCBs, and dichlorophenol in soils and groundwater. This book is part of the eight-volume proceedings from the 1999 International In Situ and On-Site Bioremediation Symposium held in San Diego, April 1999.

Description:
Four emergent plants (helophytes, synonyms emersion macrophytes, marsh plants, etc.) Phragmites australis, Juncus glaucus, Carex gracillis and Typha latifolia were successfully used for degradation of TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene) under in vitro conditions. The plants took up and transformed more than 90% of TNT from the medium within ten days of cultivation. The most efficient species was Ph. australis which took up 98% of TNT within ten days. The first stable degradation products 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene (4-ADNT) and 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2-ADNT) were identified and analysed during the cultivation period. [^1^4C] TNT was used for the detection of TNT degradation products and their compartmentalization in plant tissues after two weeks of cultivation. Forty one percent of ^1^4C was detected as insoluble or bound in cell structures: 34% in roots and 8% in the aerial parts. These results open the perspective of using the above-mentioned plants for the remediation of TNT contaminated waters.

Oprah Book Club® Selection, May 1999: Astrid Magnussen, the teenage narrator of Janet Fitch's engrossing first novel, White Oleander, has a mother who is as sharp as a new knife. An uncompromising poet, Ingrid despises weakness and self-pity, telling her daughter that they are descendants of Vikings, savages who fought fiercely to survive. And when one of Ingrid's boyfriends abandons her, she illustrates her point, killing the man with the poison of oleander flowers. This leads to a life sentence in prison, leaving Astrid to teach herself the art of survival in a string of Los Angeles foster homes.
As Astrid bumps from trailer park to tract house to Hollywood bungalow, White Oleander uncoils her existential anxieties. "Who was I, really?" she asks. "I was the sole occupant of my mother's totalitarian state, my own personal history rewritten to fit the story she was telling that day. There were so many missing pieces." Fitch adroitly leads Astrid down a path of sorting out her past and identity. In the process, this girl develops a wire-tight inner strength, gains her mother's white-blonde beauty, and achieves some measure of control over their relationship. Even from prison, Ingrid tries to mold her daughter. Foiling her, Astrid learns about tenderness from one foster mother and how to stand up for herself from another. Like the weather in Los Angeles--the winds of the Santa Anas, the scorching heat--Astrid's teenage life is intense. Fitch's novel deftly displays that, and also makes Astrid's life meaningful. --Katherine Anderson

Strange but Interesting.......2007-10-08
I read this because it was one on Oprah's booklist so I wanted to check it out. This book is about a goofy mother and her goofy daughter's relationship with each other. The mother committed murder so the daughter was put into foster care and lives with a variety of goofy people. I won't tell you how it ends because I don't want to spoil it for you. I found it to be pretty unbelievable and exaggerated, but maybe that's just me. Not one I would recommend.
Good book.......2007-10-07
I really liked White Oleander. This was a fast paced interesting book almost all of the way through. The author could have left maybe the last 50 pages or so out. The book was great up until the last few chapters, and then it became repetetive. I would recommend this book though, and did pass it along.
white oleander.......2007-10-05
Enjoyed this dark read very much. I actually bought it for my younger sister who wants "gripping" and "tabu", but with resolution.
Poet as Poison.......2007-09-30
This novel tells the story of Ingrid, a poet who knows how to manipulate those around her, as well as the English language. Ingrid, much like the flower of the story, is beautiful but deadly. Overcome with passion one night, she murders her lover and ends up in prison.
This is when the real heart of the story takes over: her daughter Astrid, abandoned to a series of foster homes because of her mother's imprisonment, must learn the rules of each new household while trying to find her own way in the world. Each time she hopes to find a loving family and the nurturing she needs, but instead encounters circumstances that force her to become a toughened survivor, a person very different from her mother.
This is a beautifully written, heart-breaking novel that I recommend heartily to anyone who loves a good story and appreciates wonderfully poetic writing. Fitch uses all the elements of the Los Angeles setting to bring the despair of her characters to life. As readers, we yearn for Astrid to find happiness, but Fitch has a bleaker cast to her tale, which makes it all the more engrossing. This is the author's true strength; she can write about circumstances such as manipulation, torment, and estranged feelings between a daughter and her mother and make them absolutely riveting.
In "White Oleander," Fitch has written a wonderful first novel. Don't miss her great follow-up, "Paint It Black: A Novel." It's clear from Fitch's writing that she is no one-hit wonder, but instead a wonderfully talented writer, who's sure to be on the literary scene a long time.
A girl's journey.......2007-09-27
I really enjoyed this book and go back to re-read every so often. It offers so much, complex at times and sometimes beautifully lyrical - you just want to go back and re-read passages that are worthy of savour and deep thought. At times, the main character can be a tad victimised (you wonder what else can happen to one person?!) but there wouldn't be a story without the struggle and the emotional demands. A great read!
