A German-American Elite Network in the Post- Cold War Era Outlook and Conclusion."Based on impressive multi-archival work and a keen sense for a good narrative, the author introduces us to the complex, interlocking networks of the little-known Atlantik-Brücke and the American Council on Germany, and explores their significance for strengthening the crucial post-1945 United States - West German relationship that continues to resonate to this day. A fantastic addition to our understanding of the 'Transnational Transatlantic' in the 20th century" - Giles Scott-Smith, Roosevelt Chair in New Diplomatic History, Leiden University, The Netherlands "This original and insightful book explores how, via soft-power diplomacy, two transatlantic networks worked to improve and solidify West Germany's relationship with the United States in the aftermath of World War II. This is transnational history at its best" - Deborah Barton, Assistant Professor of History, University of Montreal, Canada Revisiting the relationship between the USA and Germany following the Second World War, this book offers a new perspective and focuses on the influence of two organisations in accelerating West Germany's integration into the Atlantic Alliance. Tracing the Atlantik-Brücke and the American Council on Germany's (ACG) origins to the late 1940s and tracking their development and activities throughout the 1950s-70s, this book covers new ground in German-American historiography by bridging public and private relations and introducing central actors that have previously been hidden from academic debate. The author unveils and examines dense transatlantic elite networks that allowed Germany to re-join the 'community of nations,' regain sovereignty, and become a trusted member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). Analysing transatlantic relations through the lens of the intertwined history of the Atlantik-Brücke and the ACG, this book explores public-private networks on a transnational level, providing valuable reading for those studying political history, European and American post-war relations and the Cold War.

In contrast to some conventional pollutants, they are continuously delivered at low levels, which might give rise to toxicity even without high persistence rates. These chemicals are designed to have a specific physiological mode of action and to resist frequently inactivation before exerting their intended therapeutic effect. These features, among others, result in the bioaccumulation of pharmaceuticals which are responsible for toxic effects in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. It is extremely important to know how to remove them from the environment and/or how to implement procedures or treatments resulting in their biological inactivation. Although great advances have been made in their detection in aquatic matrices, there remains limited analytical methodologies available for the trace analysis of target and non-target pharmaceuticals in matrices such as soils, sediments, or biota. There are still many gaps in the data on their fate and behavior in the environment as well as on their threats to ecological and human health. This book has included nine current research and three review articles in this field.Environmental economicsbicsscResearch and information: generalbicssc5-fluorouracilactivated sludge (AS)antibiotic resistanceantibiotic resistance genesantibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB)antibioticsantibiotics, antibiotic resistanceaquatic compartmentsbacterial communityBDD anodechromatographic methodsconstructed wetlandsconstructed wetlands (CWs)conventional wastewater treatmentscyclophosphamidecytostatic drugdetermination of pharmaceuticalsdetermining target pollutants in plant materialsdevelopment of methodsecotoxicityelectrochemical oxidationelectromigration techniquesendocrine disrupting compoundsenvironmental and biological samplesenvironmental contaminantsenvironmental pollutionenvironmental risk assessmentfate in the environmentfate in WWTPsfluoxetinegreen chemistryhydroponic cultivationifosfamideintermediatesionic liquidsLC-MS/MS analysislincomycinmianserinmigrationmonensinmunicipal wastewater treatment plantsparoxetinepharmaceutical residuespharmaceuticalspharmaceuticals in the environmentpharmaceuticals occurrencepharmaceuticals toxicitypoultry farmsremoval efficiencyresidualrisk assessmentroxarsonesample preparationsertralinesewage sludgesoilsolid phase extractionSpirotoxspread of resistancesul genessulfamethoxazolesulfonamidestetracyclinestoxicityultra-high performance liquid chromatographywastewaterwastewater treatment plants (WWTPs)wastewatersEnvironmental economicsResearch and information: generalKumirska Jolantaedt1290947Kumirska JolantaothBOOK9910557113103321Pharmaceutical Residues in the Environment3021677UNINA02764nim 2200493Ka 450 991014889260332120251107144612.00-00-743275-5(CKB)3710000000923825(BIP)033678455(ODN)ODN0001224012(EXLCZ)99371000000092382520171102d2011 uy 1enguruna---|||||spwrdacontentsrdamediacrdamediacrrdacarrierCrash /J.

When our narrator smashes his car into another and watches a man die in front of him, his sense of sexual possibilities in the world around him becomes detached. As he begins an affair with the dead man's wife, he finds himself drawn with increasing intensity to the mangled impacts of car crashes. Then he encounters Robert Vaughan, a former TV scientist turned nightmare angel of the expressway, who has gathered around him a collection of alienated crash victims and experiments with a series of erotic atrocities, each more sinister than the last. But Vaughan craves the ultimate crash – a head-on collision of blood, semen, engine coolant and iconic celebrity.When our narrator smashes his car into another and watches a man die in front of him, his sense of sexual possibilities in the world around him becomes detached.
