Dilemmas in the gas industry -- Gas as a symbol : visual images of chemical weapons in the popular press -- The reestablishment of the gas taboo and the public debate : will gas destroy the world?The advent of poison gas in World War I shocked Britons at all levels of society, yet by the end of the conflict their nation was a leader in chemical warfare. Although never used on the home front, poison gas affected almost every segment of British society physically, mentally, or emotionally, proving to be an armament of total war. Through cartoons, military records, novels, treaties, and other sources, Marion Girard examines the varied ways different sectors of British society viewed chemical warfare, from the industrialists who promoted their toxic weapons while maintaining private controStudies in war, society, and the military.World War, 1914-1918Chemical warfareGreat BritainGases, Asphyxiating and poisonousWar useGreat BritainHistory20th centuryElectronic books.World War, 1914-1918Chemical warfareGases, Asphyxiating and poisonousWar useHistory940.4/0941Girard Marion1037981MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451476403321A strange and formidable weapon2459276UNINA00914nam a2200289 i 450099100289487970753620021022143814.0960610s1979 it ||| | ita b11724572-39ule_instLE021FD222391ExLDip.

These 30 islands and inlets create a barrier along a 200-mile stretch, protecting the mainland and the coastal bays from storms and heavy waves. The land on these islands is among the most expensive acres of real estate on the planet, and most of the islands are now heavily developed and populated, though some natural areas remain. This book looks first at the geological aspects of this barrier-inlet system, which is very young in terms of the history of our planet, only about 3,000 years, appearing since the great glaciers melted and sea level reached near its present position. Hurricanes have had a significant impact on this coast, although they are less frequent here than along most of the Gulf of Mexico. There are very few sand dunes on these flat, narrow islands"--Provided by publisher.Barrier Islands of the Florida Gulf Coast Peninsula :the most complicated barrier island system in the worldBarrier islandsFloridaGulf CoastGeologyFloridaGulf CoastBarrier island ecologyFloridaGulf CoastGulf Coast (Fla.)GeographyGulf Coast (Fla.)Environmental conditionsBarrier islandsGeologyBarrier island ecology975.9Davis Richard A.Jr.,1937-103204MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807408703321Barrier Islands of the Florida Gulf Coast Penninsula4092140UNINA
