Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st edition, 1st printing ; xx, 101 pp. : illustrations, mostly black and white ; 24 cm. ; ISBN: 0060510870 (acid-free paper) LCCN: 2002-17854 ; OCLC: 48958319 ; LC: HQ1735.6; Dewey: 305.42/09581 ; blue cloth with silver lettering, in photographic dustjacket ; "'We have been forgotten, and we need the right to speak. If no one hears what we say, nothing will change.' In 1997, during the Taliban's repressive rule, award-winning photographer Harriet Logan went to Afghanistan and encountered a group of extraordinary women whose strong characters and dreams for the future made an indelible impression on her. Despite the peril to her life and theirs, she captured their lives in a series of striking photographs. The women risked their safety b y speaking to and being photographed by her because they felt that the outside world needed to know what was happening to them. The images of women from 1997 contrast sharply with those from the 1970s, when they were free to dress as they wished, speak up for their rights, and pursue their educations alongside men. After the Taliban's defeat at the end of 2001, Logan returned to Afghanistan, where she found many of these women again and met others. These courageous and intelligent women shared with her stories of unimaginable sadness and abiding strength through the long years of war and uncertainty. Zargoona, a widow, reveals that she could not afford to treat her cancer because Taliban law prevented women from earning a living. Nahed, a schoolteacher, has vowed never to marry because even her own brothers beat her, Durkhanai, the daughter of a famous television anchor-woman, tells how she experienced the joys of family life and the pain of lost freedom all at once: 'We were like birds in a cage. For me, maybe my cage was good -- my home was full of happiness. We love each other here and we are not hungry. But outside it was terrible.' Nine-year-old Sanam rejoices that she can carry her doll without being beaten for idolatry . Latifa lost her foot when she stepped on a mine and subsequently left her house only four times during Taliban rule. She begs of women across the world: 'Please help us Afghan women. We have just come out of a dark period into the sunshine. Learn from us so that what we have suffered will never happen again.' Logan's photographs reveal the world of these women, from portraits of them at home to the war-torn landscapes of Kabul and its marketplaces newly brimming with beauty products. This stunning journey in text and image will open the reader's eyes to the Afghanistan of yesterday, today, and tomorrow."--dustjacket ; remainder mark at bottom, else FINE/FINE. Book.

Neuware - Stabilization and Solidification of Hazardous, Radioactive, and Mixed Wastes provides comprehensive information on waste characterization, waste form design approaches, contaminant transport and leachability, testing methods for stabilized waste forms, case studies, and regulatory considerations. It covers all systems used for stabilization and solidification of wastes, discusses the interactions between contaminants and stabilizing components, and provides guidelines for the selection of bonding materials for stabilization. It also demonstrates how to design a stabilized waste form and includes a section on statistical techniques for generating response surface models for large, complicated applications.

A significant collection documenting the 1935 Saar plebiscite, compiled by Spence, a British intelligence officer on the international force which oversaw it. The Saar was carved off in the Treaty of Versailles, and its resounding vote to rejoin Germany was a major triumph for the Nazi government. The personal photographs give a compelling insight into the event and the popular enthusiasm for reunion. The collection opens with the telegram summoning Spence to the War Office, his trunk label, and a personnel list of the British contingent, followed by his railway Ausweis and a French consulate sauf-conduit. Ephemera includes an unused ballot form, a cancelled polling card, and Spence's pass and badge for entry to the Wartburg count. The photographs show armoured cars and troops on the streets, voters at polling booths, and exhausted vote-counters surrounded by discarded ballots. Other images include swastika flags on the streets, a window displaying a poster of Hitler among Christmas garlands, and a Deutsche Front rally at the airfield, where rain left more umbrellas than flags visible. Group portraits feature the British contingent, signed by commander-in-chief Major General J. E. H. Brind and others, and the commission in session, signed by president Geoffrey Knox and Yugoslav member Milovan Zoricic. The collection closes with a letter from Bernard Paget at the War Office, congratulating Spence on "the excellent work you did for us in the Saar. The Director of Military Operations and Intelligence is writing to General Brind to express his appreciation, but I should like to send mine to you direct. Now you must get into Staff College". Spence passed Staff College and became an instructor at Sandhurst after returning from the Saar. During the Second World War, he served with the BEF in France and as a liaison officer in Canada and the USA. From 1948 to 1950 he was colonel in charge of administration at the British Joint Services Mission in Washington. He died in 1960. The collection is accompanied by two 1934 pamphlets: The Responsibilities and Duties of the League of Nations towards the Saar, printing a speech made by Saar Gauleiter Joseph Bürckel, and an official War Office handbook Notes on the Saar, For Issue down to Platoon Commanders. 8 landscape quarto album leaves with mounted telegrams, other documents and ephemera, and 68 original photographs, mainly smaller formats, but a few larger group portraits. Leaves removed from a cloth-hinged post-bound album, neat punch holes to each leaf, the mounted materials all in very good condition.
