Ray Charles: Man and Music Updated Edition Book

There are only a few legendary singers who have developed mass audiences while pursuing their own artistic visions: Sinatra is one; Ella Fitzgerald another. Ray Charles undoubtedly belongs in this pantheon of major musical stars.
Ray Charles: Man and Music begins with Charles�s impoverished childhood in Greenville, Florida, where tragedy struck early when the young Charles went blind at age 6 and was orphaned at age 14. Driven by his enormous talent and determination, Charles landed work playing some of the toughest juke joints in the state, fought heroin addiction, and finally landed a recording contract with Atlantic Records. Unlike other R&B singers, Charles took control of his career from its earliest days, moving on from his gospel-soul stylings of the mid-�50s to break through musical barriers, recording two country albums in the late �50s (at a time when the black presence in country music was barely felt), pure jazz, and then the powerful pop hits of the �60s. Famed music journalist Michael Lydon - a founding editor of Rolling Stone - is uniquely qualified to document Charles�s career, having interviewed Charles and followed the star�s performances since the 1960s.

The Opium Debate and Chinese Exclusion Laws in the Nineteenth-century American WestDebate Book

America's current "war on drugs" is not the nation's first. In the mid-nineteenth century, opium-smoking was decried as a major social and public health problem, especially in the West. Although China faced its own epidemic of opium addiction, only a very small minority of Chinese immigrants in America were actually involved in the opium business. It was in Anglo communities that the use of opium soon spread and this growing use was deemed a threat to the nation's entrepreneurial spirit and to its growing mportance as a world economic and military power.

Encyclopedia of Cybercrime Book

There are today no more compelling sets of crime and security threats facing nations, communities, organizations, groups, families and individuals than those encompassed by cybercrime. For over fifty years crime enabled by computing and telecommunications technologies have increasingly threatened societies as they have become reliant on information systems for sustaining modernized living. Cybercrime is not a new phenomenon, rather an evolving one with respect to adoption of information technology (IT) for abusive and criminal purposes. Further, by virtue of the myriad ways in which IT is abused, it represents a technological shift in the nature of crime rather than a new form of criminal behavior. Understanding the subject, then, is imperative to combatting it and to addressing it at various levels.

Mass Spectrometry in Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics Book

Within the pharmaceutical industry, the mass spectrometer was long considered a useful and challenging analytical tool largely limited to the specialist user. The steady movement from specialist use to general use gained considerable speed in the 1990s, particularly due to the development of practical, sensitive liquid chromatography�mass spectrometry (LC�MS) interfaces and advances in the microelectronics. The rapid proliferation of quadrupole ion trap, linear ion trap, orbitrap, quadrupole mass filter, time-of-flight, and other types of mass spectrometers has impacted the industry from the earliest stages of disease determination through the final stages of clinical testing. This book, based on an American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) session, which I was fortunate enough to chair, will examine several of the ways in which mass spectrometry continues to have a profound influence on the direction and speed of drug discovery and development, especially in the area of drug metabolism (DM) and pharmacokinetics (PK).
