Carl Wilhelm Scheele and Torbern Bergman
This book tells the story of two of the most important figures in the history of chemistry. Carl Wilhelm Scheele (1742–1786) was the first to prepare oxygen and realise that air is a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen; he also discovered many important organic and inorganic substances. His fellow chemist and good friend, Torbern Bergman (1735–1784), was one of the pioneers in analytical and physical chemistry. In this carefully researched biography, the author, Anders Lennartson, explains the chemistry of Scheele and Bergman while putting their discoveries in the context of other 18th-century chemistry. Much of the information contained in this work is available in English for the first time.
Surgeon General's Warning
What does it mean to be the nation's doctor? In this engaging narrative, journalist Mike Stobbe examines the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General, underlining how it has always been an anomaly within the federal government with a unique ability to influence public health. But now Surgeon Generals compete with other high profile figures, like the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Furthermore, in an era of declining budgets, when public health departments eliminate tens of thousands of jobs, some argue that a lower-profile and ineffective surgeon general is a waste of money. Tracing stories of how surgeons general such as Luther Terry, C. Everett Koop, and Jocelyn Elders created policies and confronted controversy in response to issues like smoking, AIDS, and masturbation, Stobbe highlights how this office is key to shaping the nation's health and explains why its decline is harming our country's well-being.

Man Without a Face
The mouen ( play) Man without a Face is a dramatic biography of the greatest pharmacist who ever lived , probably he is the father of the chemical as well as of the pharmacological industry. He is the discoverer of the most important gases; oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine gas, fluorine gas, discoverer of barium oxide, of manganates and permanganates, and many other chemical compounds in the inorganic field. He is the discoverer of the most important acids in organic chemistry as: citric acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, pyrotartaric acid, mucic acid, lactic acid, uric acid. He discovered glycerol in the olive oil, and he discovered many other things we can not enumerate them all.. This book from this writer also contains the stage play about John F. Kennedy. This is the first, and probably the only stage play about JFK in the world..
Villages in the Future
Life in rural communities is bound to change with historically unprecedented speed in the coming decades. How will this change be guided by local, national and global policies in order to enhance the livelihoods of rural inhabitants and to overcome the growing division of rural and urban areas? The contributions in this publication, ranging from scientific papers to short reports from practitioners, are grouped around 4 major themes: political and institutional frameworks to foster rural development; natural resources management; broadening the technological base of rural economies; and improved linkages between urban and rural areas. The overall message is unanimous: there is a promising future for the rural areas worldwide if adequate policies can be enforced and more efficient and fair institutions can be created.
