Annotated Environment Bibliography Abram David Becoming Animal An Earthly Cosmology Vintage 2011 David Abrams first book The Spell of the Sensuous hailed as revolutionary by the Los Angeles Times as daring and truly original by Science has become a classic of environmental literature Now he returns with a startling exploration of our human entanglement with the rest of nature As the climate veers toward catastrophe the innumerable losses cascading through the biosphere make vividly evident the need for a metamorphosis in our relation to the living land For too long weve ignored the wild intelligence of our bodies taking our primary truths from technologies that hold the living world at a distance Abrams writing subverts this distance drawing readers ever closer to their animal senses in order to explore from within the elemental kinship between the human body and the breathing Earth The shapeshifting of ravens the erotic nature of gravity the eloquence of thunder the pleasures of being Abram David The Spell of the Sensuous Perception and Language in a MoreThanHuman World Vintage 2012 David Abram draws on sources as diverse as the philosophy of MerleauPonty Balinese shamanism Apache storytelling and his own experience as an accomplished sleightofhand magician to reveal the subtle dependence of human cognition on the natural environment He explores the character of perception and excavates the sensual foundations of language whicheven at its most abstractechoes the calls and cries of the earth On every page of this lyrical work Abram weaves his arguments with

for Compassionate Conservation University of Chicago Press 2013 For far too long humans have been ignoring nature As the most dominant overproducing over consuming bigbrained bigfooted arrogant and invasive species ever known we are wrecking the planet at an unprecedented rate And while science is important to our understanding of the impact we have on our environment it alone does not hold the answers to the current crisis nor does it get people to act In Ignoring Nature No More Marc Bekoff and a host of renowned contributors argue that we need a new mindset about nature one that centers on empathy compassion and being proactive This collection of diverse essays is the first book devoted to compassionate conservation a growing global movement that translates discussions and concerns about the wellbeing of individuals species populations and ecosystems into action Written by leading scholars in a host of disciplines including biology psychology sociology social work economics political science and philosophy as well as by locals doing fieldwork in their own countries the essays combine the most creative aspects of the current science of animal conservation with analyses of important psychological and sociocultural issues that encourage or vex stewardship The contributors tackle topics including the costs and benefits Berry Thomas Mary Evelyn Tucker The Sacred Universe Earth Spirituality and Religion in the Twentyfirst Century Columbia University Press 2009 A leading scholar cultural historian and Catholic priest who spent more than fifty years writing about our engagement with the Earth Thomas Berry possessed prophetic insight into the rampant destruction of ecosystems and the extinction of species In this book he makes a persuasive case for an interreligious dialogue that can better confront the environmental problems of the twentyfirst century These erudite and keenly sympathetic essays represent Berrys best work covering such issues as human beings modern alienation from nature and the possibilities of future regenerative forms of religious experience Asking that we create a new story of the universe Berry Wendell Michael Pollan Bringing it to the Table On Farming and Food Counterpoint 2009 Only a farmer could delve so deeply into the origins of food and only a writer of Wendell Berrys caliber could convey it with such conviction and eloquence Long before Whole Foods organic produce was available at your local supermarket Berry was farming with the purity of food in mind For the last five decades Berry has embodied mindful eating through his land practices and his writing In recognition of that influence Michael Pollan here offers an introduction to this wonderful collection Drawn from over thirty years of work this collection joins bestsellers The Omnivores Dilemma by Pollan and Animal Vegetable Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver as essential reading for anyone who cares about what they eat The essays address such concerns as How does organic measure up against locally grown What are the differences between small and large farms and how does that affect what you put on your dinner table What can you do to support sustainable agriculture A progenitor of the Slow Food movement Wendell Berry reminds us all to take the time to understand the basics of what we ingest Eating is an agriculture act he writes Indeed we are all players in the food economy Brown Lester R World on the Edge How to Prevent Environmental and Economic Collapse Earth Policy Institute 2011 We are facing issues of nearoverwhelming complexity and unprecedented urgency Our challenge is to think globally and develop policies to counteract environmental decline and economic collapse The question is Can we change direction before we go over the edge Corb ey Raymond and Annette Lanjouw The Politics of Species Reshaping our Relationships with Other Animals Cambridge University Press 2013 The assumption that humans are cognitively and morally superior to other animals is fundamental to social democracies and legal systems worldwide It legitimises treating members of other animal species as inferior to humans The last few decades have seen a growing awareness of this issue as evidence continues to show that individuals of many other species have rich mental emotional and social lives Bringing together leading experts

worldrenowned environmental activist and physicist In Earth Democracy Shiva updates the struggles she helped bring to international attentionagainst genetic food engineering culture theft and natural resource privatizationuncovering their links to the rising tide of fundamentalism violence against women and planetary death Starting in the 16th century with the initial enclosure of the British commons Shiva reveals how the commons continue to shrink as more and more natural resources are patented and privatized As our ecological sustainability and cultural diversity erode so too is human life Shiva Vandana Making Peace with the Earth Pluto Press 2013 In this compelling and rigorously documented exposition Vandana Shiva demolishes the myths propagated by corporate globalization in its pursuit of profit and power and shows its devastating environmental impact Shiva argues that consumerism lubricates the war against the earth and that corporate control violates all ethical and ecological limits She takes the reader on a journey through the worlds devastated ecolandscape one of genetic engineering industrial development and landgrabs in Africa Asia and South America She concludes that exploitation of this order is incurring an ecological and economic debt that is unsustainable Making Peace with the Earth outlines how a Shiva Vandana Water Wars Privatization Pollution and Profit Paperback South End Press 2002 While draught and desertification are intensifying around the world corporations are aggressively converting freeflowing water into bottled profits The water wars of the twentyfirst century may matchor even surpassthe oil wars of the twentieth In Water Wars Privatization Pollution and Profit Vandana Shiva the worlds most prominent radical scientist the Guardian shines a light on activists who are fighting corporate maneuvers to convert this lifesustaining resource into more gold for the elites In Water Wars Shiva uses her remarkable knowledge of science and society to outline the emergence of corporate culture and the historical erosion of communal water rights Using the international water trade and industrial activities such as damming mining and aquafarming as her lens Shiva exposes the destruction of the earth and the disenfranchisement of the worlds poor as they are stripped of rights to a precious common good In her passionate feminist style Shiva celebrates the spiritual and traditional role water has played in communities throughout history and warns that water privatization threatens cultures and livelihoods worldwide Shiva calls for a movement to preserve water access for all and offers a blueprint for global resistance based on examples of successful campaigns Shiva Vandana Stolen Harvest South End Press 2000 In this remarkable book Vandana Shiva effectively contrasts corporate commandandcontrol methods of food production with the small farmer economy that predominates in the third world especially in her native India In contast to what many here in the US might perceive as the conventional wisdom Shiva makes a strong argument that local small scale agriculture is superior to the agribusiness model for a number of reasons First Shiva points out that many of the productivity gains attributable to the Green Revolution were achieved by dramatically increased inputs of fertilizer seed and water When one compares units of input with units of output however native practices produce higher yields especially when one takes into account the multiple uses derived from a single product For example mustard oil is a vital product used by many of Indias poor for cooking seasoning medicine and other uses But it has been banned by the Indian government under highly suspicious circumstances in order to allow imports of soybean oil products While giant corporations benefit from expanded sales native industries have been destroyed contibuting to poverty and malnourishment Shiva discusses the commercial fishing and aquaculture shrimp farming practices that inevitably result in environmental destruction and reduced catches She compares this shortsighted approach with traditional Indian fishing techniques that have successfully sustained themselves for generations while protecting important ecosystems such as mangrove forests Shiva discusses corporate patenting of seeds which insidiously transforms the cooperative ethic of seed sharing into a criminal offense The author supports a noncooperation movement in India that is resisting corporate attempts to claim ownership of seeds that have been cultivated by countless generations of farmers Shivas sacred cow mad cow metaphor effectively and appropriately contrasts agribusiness with small farming Indias sacred cows live in harmony with the environment performing multiple services and producing multiple products for the community whereas mad cows are a grotesque manifestation of an industrial system obsessed with uniformity technology and profit Shiva also touches on the topic of genetic engineering GE and discusses the threat it poses to biodiversity food safety and human health The Afterword to the book alludes to the WTO protests in Seattle Shiva believes this watershed event proves that people are becoming more aware of the dangers of unaccountable corporate power yet she believes that positive change is possible This opening of consciousness to new possibilities may be attributable to the extraordinary work of people like Vandana Shiva whose intelligence and compassion is abundantly evident in this book

Common Ion Effect Last updated January 24 2018 83445 PM PST Share Page ID Contributed by Jim Clark Former Head of Chemistry and Head of Science at Truro School in Cornwall Skills to Develop Recognize common ions from various salts acids and bases Calculate concentrations involving common ions Calculate ion concentrations involving chemical equilibrium The commonion effect is used to describe the effect on an equilibrium involving a substance that adds an ion that is a part of the equilibrium Introduction The solubility products K sp s are equilibrium constants in hetergeneous equilibria ie between two different phases If several salts are present in a system they all ionize in the solution If the salts contain a common cation or anion these salts contribute to the concentration of the common ion Contributions from all salts must be included in the calculation of concentration of the common ion For example a solution containing sodium chloride and potassium chloride will have the following relationship mathrmNa K Cl label1 Consideration of charge balance or mass balance or both leads to the same conclusion Common Ions When ceNaCl and ceKCl are dissolved in the same solution the mathrm colorGreen Cl ions are common to both salts In a system containing ceNaCl and ceKCl the mathrm colorGreen Cl ions are common ions mathrmNaCl rightleftharpoons Na colorGreen Cl mathrmKCl rightleftharpoons K colorGreen Cl mathrmCaCl_2 rightleftharpoons Ca2 colorGreen 2 Cl mathrmAlCl_3 rightleftharpoons Al3 colorGreen 3 Cl mathrmAgCl rightleftharpoons Ag colorGreen Cl For example when ceAgCl is dissolved into a solution already containing ceNaCl actually ceNa and ceCl ions the ceCl ions come from the ionization of both ceAgCl and ceNaCl Thus ceCl differs from ceAg The following examples show how the concentration of the common ion is calculated Example PageIndex1 What are ceNa ceCl ceCa2 and ceH in a solution containing 010 M each of ceNaCl ceCaCl2 and ceHCl SOLUTION Due to the conservation of ions we have mathrmNa Ca2 H 010 ce M but beginalignat3 ceCl textrm010 due to NaCl mathrm020 due to CaCl_2 mathrm010 due to HCl mathrm040 M endalignat Exercise PageIndex1 John poured 100 mL of 010 M ceNaCl 100 mL of 010 M ceKOH and 50 mL of 020 M ceHCl solutions together and then he made the total volume to be 1000 mL What is ceCl in the final solution mathrmCl dfrac01 Mtimes 10 mL02 Mtimes 50 mL1000 mL 0020 M Le Ch â teliers Principle states that if an equilibrium becomes unbalanced the reaction will shift to restore the balance If a common ion is added to a weak acid or weak base equilibrium then the equilibrium will shift towards the reactants in this case the weak acid or base Example PageIndex2 Consider the leadII ion concentration in this saturated solution of PbCl 2 The balanced reaction is PbCl_2 s rightleftharpoons Pb2 _aq 2Cl_aq Defining s as the concentration of dissolved leadII chloride then Pb2 s Cl 2s These values can be substituted into the solubility product expression which can be solved for s begineqnarray K_sp Pb2 Cl2 s times 2s2 17 times 105 4s3 s3 frac17 times 1054 425 times 106 s sqrt3425 times 106 162 times 102 mol dm3 endeqnarray The concentration of leadII ions in the solution is 162 x 10 2 M Consider what happens if sodium chloride is added to this saturated solution Sodium chloride shares an ion with leadII chloride The chloride ion is common to both of them this is the origin of the term common ion effect Look at the original equilibrium expression again PbCl_2 s rightleftharpoons Pb2 aq 2Cl aq What happens to that equilibrium if extra chloride ions are added According to Le Ch â telier the position of equilibrium will shift to counter the change in this case by removing the chloride ions by making extra solid leadII chloride Of course the concentration of leadII ions in the solution is so small that only a tiny proportion of the extra chloride ions can be converted into solid leadII chloride The leadII chloride becomes even less soluble and the concentration of leadII ions in the solution decreases This type of response occurs with any sparingly soluble substance it is less soluble in a solution which contains any ion which it has in common This is the common ion effect A Simple Example If an attempt is made to dissolve some leadII chloride in some 0100 M sodium chloride solution instead of in water what is the equilibrium concentration of the leadII ions this time As before define s to be the concentration of the leadII ions Pb2 s label2 The calculations are different from before This time the concentration of the chloride ions is governed by the concentration of the sodium chloride solution The number of ions coming from the leadII chloride is going to be tiny compared with the 0100 M coming from the sodium chloride solution In calculations like this it can be assumed that the concentration of the common ion is entirely due to the other solution This simplifies the calculation So we assume Cl 0100 M label3 The rest of the mathematics looks like this beginequation beginsplit K_sp Pb2Cl2 s times 01002 17 times 105 s times 000100 endsplit endequation therefore beginequation beginsplit s dfrac17 times 10500100 17 times 103 textM endsplit label4 endequation Finally compare that value with the simple saturated solution Original solution Pb2 00162 M label5 Solution in 0100 M NaCl solution Pb2 00017 M label6 The concentration of the leadII ions has decreased by a factor of about 10 If more concentrated solutions of sodium chloride are used the solubility decreases further Adding a common ion to a system at equilibrium affects the equilibrium composition but not the ionization constant Common Ion Effect with Weak Acids and Bases Adding a common ion prevents the weak acid or weak base from ionizing as much as it would without the added common ion The common ion effect suppresses the ionization of a weak acid by adding more of an ion that is a product of this equilibrium Example PageIndex2 The common ion effect of H 3 O on the ionization of acetic acid The common ion effect suppresses the ionization of a weak base by adding more of an ion that is a product of this equilibrium Example PageIndex4 Consider the common ion effect of OH on the ionization of ammonia Adding the common ion of hydroxide shifts the reaction towards the left to decrease the stress in accordance with Le Ch â teliers Principle forming more reactants This decreases the reaction quotient because the reaction is being pushed towards the left to reach equilibrium The equilibrium constant K b 1810 5 does not change The reaction is put out of balance or equilibrium Q_a fracNH_4OHNH_3 At first when more hydroxide is added the quotient is greater than the equilibrium constant The reaction then shifts right causing the denominator to increase decreasing the reaction quotient and pulling towards equilibrium and causing Q to decrease towards K Common Ion Effect on Solubility Adding a common ion decreases solubility as the reaction shifts toward the left to relieve the stress of the excess product Adding a common ion to a dissociation reaction causes the equilibrium to shift left toward the reactants causing precipitation Example PageIndex5 Consider the reaction PbCl_2s rightleftharpoons Pb2aq 2Claq What happens to the solubility of PbCl 2 s when 01 M NaCl is added SOLUTION K_sp17 times 105 Q_sp 18 times 105 Identify the common ion Cl Notice Q sp K sp The addition of NaCl has caused the reaction to shift out of equilibrium because there are more dissociated ions Typically solving for the molarities requires the assumption that the solubility of PbCl 2 is equivalent to the concentration of Pb 2 produced because they are in a 11 ratio Because K sp for the reaction is 1710 5 the overall reaction would be s2s 2 1710 5 Solving the equation for s gives s 16210 2 M The coefficient on Cl is 2 so it is assumed that twice as much Cl is produced as Pb 2 hence the 2s The solubility equilibrium constant can be used to solve for the molarities of the ions at equilibrium The molarity of Cl added would be 01 M because Na and Cl are in a 11 ration in the ionic salt NaCl Therefore the overall molarity of Cl would be 2s 01 with 2s referring to the contribution of the chloride ion from the dissociation of lead chloride begineqnarray Q_sp Pb2Cl2 18 times 105 s2s 012 s Pb2 18 times 103 M 2s Cl approx 01 M endeqnarray Notice that the molarity of Pb 2 is lower when NaCl is added The equilibrium constant remains the same because of the increased concentration of the chloride ion To simplify the reaction it can be assumed that Cl is approximately 01M since the formation of the chloride ion from the dissociation of lead chloride is so small The reaction quotient for PbCl 2 is greater than the equilibrium constant because of the added Cl This therefore shift the reaction left towards equilibrium causing precipitation and lowering the current solubility of the reaction Overall the solubility of the reaction decreases with the added sodium chloride References Harwood William S F G Herring Jeffry D Madura and Ralph H Petrucci

What are identical molecules 1 favorite I dont know what identical molecules are but these are by thoughts Since from the word identical the molecules should have the same number and kind of atoms attached in the same way Since in stereochemistry the isomerism is due to spacial orientation all stereochemical isomers are identical Is my thinking correct What factors determine whether two molecules are identical or not organicchemistry stereochemistry improve this question edited Oct 6 17 at 1444 TAR86 4259 1 7 26 asked Oct 3 13 at 046 Rajath Krishna R 1283 10 34 47 add a comment 1 Answer active votes 8 accepted Identical compounds have the same chemical and physical properties and other properties too Of the two types of stereoisomers diastereomers nonmirror image stereoisomers are clearly nonidentical Consider the isomers of tartaric acid Mesotartaric acid and tartaric acid have different melting points 165 C and 171 C respectively They also have different acidities The and isomers enantiomers are more challenging but they are distinguishable by one physical property the way they rotate planepolarized light If the two molecules were identical they would not be isomers we would not be able to distinguish them If they are distinguishable they are not identical improve this answer answered Oct 3 13 at 238 Ben Norris 341k 7 79 144 add a comment Your Answer Sign up or Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password By clicking Post Your Answer you acknowledge that you have read our updated terms of service and cookie policy and that your continued use of the website is subject to these policies Not the answer youre looking for Browse other questions tagged organicchemistry stereochemistry or ask your own question

Old Hospital In Hyde Park Is Now A Memory April 25 2011 at 154 pm Filed Under Demolished Doctors Hospital Dr James Desnick Hyde Park Illinois Central Hospital Pam Zekman Stony Island Avenue Credit AP CHICAGO CBS A 95yearold hospital in the Hyde Park neighborhood has been torn down after closing amid a scandal and sitting vacant for 11 years The hospital building at 5800 S Stony Island Ave was originally known as Illinois Central Hospital and more recently as Doctors Hospital It opened in 1916 and occupied a proud place in the treelined shadow of the Museum of Science and Industry But after sitting idle since the spring of 2000 the hospital met with the wrecking ball between February and this month As the Hyde Park Progress blog recalled the facility started out both as a public hospital and a free medical facility for all Illinois Central Railroad employees The railroad sold the hospital in 1973 and it became Hyde Park Community Hospital then Doctors Hospital the blog recalled In 2000 the owner of Doctors Hospital eye care physician Dr James Desnick filed documents in US Bankruptcy Court He said the forprofit hospital had racked up 60 million in debts including a 47 million mortgage for the building 96 million for a line of credit and 31 million in unpaid bills to employee and suppliers The hospital closed with little warning on May 11 2000 CBS 2 Investigator Pam Zekman reported that day that employees didnt find out until they came to work and patients at the 240bed hospital were all transferred out without much warning that day One patient complained that she was never given back her wheelchair and breathing machine Desnick had been the subject of multiple investigations by Zekman going back to 1988 Federal agents seized hundreds of boxes of records after CBS 2 reported on unnecessary cataract surgery at his Desnick Eye Center but he ended up selling the center while still under federal investigation Desnick bought Doctors Hospital in 1992 At the time he was praised for saving a desperately needed medical facility on the South Side He also ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for US Senate in 1996 But after the hospital closed Desnick suffered more fallout In a settlement with the US Attorneys office he was ordered to pay 14 million on claims that the hospital submitted fraudulent billings and used a system of kickbacks to recruit patients who might not have been sick Desnick did not admit to any wrongdoing in the 23page settlement which was issued in December 2000 CBS 2 reported at the time For more than a decade afterward the hospital sat vacant In 2008 the University of Chicago which by then owned the land announced plans to have the Classical Revivalstyle building torn down for a new Marriott Hotel and Fairfield Inn Landmarks Illinois reported The hotel plan was later scrapped in favor of a new planned hotel on the site of the Harper Court shopping center on Harper Avenue off 53rd Street The U of C later announced plans to use the land for an early childhood education campus for its Lab School according to the Hyde ParkKenwood Community Conference Preservationists fought the demolition and alternative plans were issued for reuse of the building according to Landmarks Illinois But demolition ultimately went ahead Do you have any memories of the old hospital Share them below Our Newsletter Sign up and get our latest headlines delivered right to your inbox Most Viewed 5YearOld Drowns At Bolingbrook Holiday Inn Chicago Bears Philadelphia Eagles Five Things To Watch During Todays Playoff Game Why Ald Ed Burke May Have Been Allowed To Have 23 Guns In Government Building Smoke Detectors Available For 99 Cents At 11 Home Depot Locations This Weekend North Central Basketball Player Blaise Meredith Flies FaceFirst Into Backboard I Got A Little Higher Than I Expected Leidy CalderonRojas 15 Missing From Humboldt Park Two Patients Get TripleOrgan Transplants The Same Day At University Of Chicago Medicine CTA Completes New 280 Million 95th Street Red Line Station Man Attacked And Robbed By Teengers At Illinois Medical District CTA Station Small Fire On Chicago Flight Caused By ECigarette
