Discusses how the federal government's failed relief efforts in New Orleans were dictated by issues of race and class, compounded by a lack of leadership and the manipulations of large business interests willing to profit from the disaster.

The Bipyridinium Herbicides, diquat, paraquat and related compounds, have attracted considerable interest over the past twenty years. This is the first book to be devoted to all aspects of this important group of herbicides: it provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the published work in this area, and aims to put all aspects of their study into perspective. The book cites approximately 2500 references. The synthesis, chemistry, activity and applications of the herbicides are discussed in full, and toxicology, plant physiology and the mode of herbicidal action are also treated. These discourses involve a wide array of disciplines. It will prove a valuable reference to all those interested in the bipyridinium herbicides, and particularly to researchers involved in chemistry, biochemistry, biochemistry, biology, agricultural science, soil science, toxicology, medical science and environmental science. It should also be of interest to students as supplementary reading in these fields, and will be a necessary addition to many institutional libraries.

Agriculture an dthe Nitrogen Cycle provides a unique, up-to-date assessment of the role of nitrogen fertilizer in the nitrogen cycle. In it, the authors emphasize the need to maintain food and fiber production while minimizing environmental impacts where fertilizer is abundant, and the need to enhance fertilizer utilization in systems where nitrogen is limited. The book is derived from a workshop held by the Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE) that brought together the world's leading scientists to examine the nitrogen cycle and related problems.
