Product Description
Environmental fate is a term describing the behavior (i.e., transport and degradation) of a chemical released into the environment. The Datalog, Chemfate, Biolog, and Biodegradation databases provide a valuable source of data for estimations and modeling of environmental fate and exposure evaluations, as well as structure-reactivity, persistence, and transport correlations. This data is necessary for predicting the environmental behavior of chemicals and estimating the environmental or occupational exposure.All of these databases store and retrieve data and provide a fast, flexible means for environmental fate data users to access critical information. ...

Outstanding resource and guide
The volume of information contained in this book is impressive. As a newcomer to the area of animal rights, I cannot think of a better place to start. This book provides both a comprehensive research tool, and an excellent overview of the many aspects of animal rights.
The ability to compare the general content and tone of several books on a particular topic is very useful. Scanning through the entries is informative and thought provoking, in large part due to the author's comments and questions. Without claiming one side or the other, he challenges many traditional ways of thinking about the issues involved, and introduces alternative views. I found myself prompted to look at other aspects of animal rights that I had not considered before. An outstanding resource for anyone interested in any aspect of animal rights. ... Read more

Rock on Record Collectors
This is an awesome reference guide. Let me first say that I am not a hard core record collector. I have about 600 albums and a few 45s. I found Goldmine Record & Prices the perfect reference book to help me identify and price my collection. It's easy to use and compact so that I can carry it with me when I go looking for records to add to my collection. And the price is great when you consider that there are almost 30,000 records listed. Plain and simple: It's the best value out there.

Rock and roll and Frank Sinatra
Goldmine magazine officially recognizes two forms of popular music: rock and roll and Frank Sinatra.On occasion, it grudgingly concedes the existence of other things, like R&B, country, and rock and roll.Oh, wait--I already mentioned rock and roll.So, it's no surprise that this price guide avoids most of the "adult pop" people who sold tons of vinyl from the late 50s through the early 1970s--folks like Johnny Mathis, Ray Conniff, Vicki Carr, Mantovani, and Percy Faith.The premier denouncer of rock among pop singers, Frank Sinatra, is included, however, though Perry Como, who had many times more hits, is nowhere to be found.The Beatles are mentioned any number of times in the introduction, because, naturally, anyone consulting a record price guide will want to know about all things Beatles.Cliche City, U.S.A.Well laid-out, anyway, and useful for cross-indexing years of release for albums and 45s not listed herein.Goldmine's anti-"pop" bias, though, is a problem. ...
