Dragons are a girl's best friend / by Frost, Isla,author.;
"Welcome to post-revolution Las Vegas. Now a haven for gambling, debauchery, and supernaturals. Of course, it's the idiot humans with new magics of their own that cause the most trouble. That's where I come in. My job as a rookie cop in the Rapid Response unit is to deal with the ongoing teething problems of the magic revolution. Teething problems which often involve actual fangs, among other things. But as one of the idiot humans myself, and saddled with an oddball magic that's frequently more hazard than help, that's easier said than done. Oh, and the ill-tempered dragon? She's my police partner. (Ditto on the more hazard than help thing.) So when some jackass comes up with the bright idea to take the entire city hostage? Yeah, I'm in way over my head. But my adoptive family is right in the crosshairs, and I didn't become a cop to sit on my hands while others suffer. You'd better wish me luck. Warning: This urban fantasy series contains danger, mayhem, humor, and heart, with characters you'll fall for--including a vampire with an unbeating heart of gold, a book-hoarding dragon who eats criminals for breakfast, a mysterious supernatural who' as hot as the desert he slunk out of, and a human heroine who'll fight to save them all. Dive into this thrilling new world for a feel-good, action-packed adventure with a dash of slow burn romance."--Amazon.com

Radium girls, women and industrial health reform : 1910-1935 / by Clark, Claudia.(CARDINAL)211221;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-280) and index.Watch Alice glow: the New Jersey radium dialpainters -- The unknown God: radium, research, and businesses -- Something about that factory: the dialpainters and the Consumers' League -- A "hitherto unrecognized" occupational hazard: the discovery of radium poisoning -- A David fighting the Goliath of industrialism: compensation in New Jersey and Connecticut -- Is that watch fad worth the price?: industrial radium poisoning and federal courts and agencies -- Gimme a gamma: iatrogenic radium poisoning -- We slapped radium around like cake frosting: dialpainting in Illinois."In the early twentieth century, a group of women workers hired to apply luminous paint to watch faces and instrument dials found themselves among the first victims of radium poisoning. Claudia Clark's book tells the compelling story of these women, who at first had no idea that the tedious task of dialpainting was any different from the other factory jobs available to them. But after repeated exposure to the radium-laced paint, they began to develop mysterious, often fatal illnesses that they traced to conditions in the workplace. Their fight to have their symptoms recognized as an industrial disease represents an important chapter in the history of modern health and labor policy. Clark's account emphasizes the social and political factors that influenced the responses of the workers, managers, government officials, medical specialists, and legal authorities involved in the case. She enriches the story by exploring contemporary disputes over workplace control, government intervention, and industry-backed medical research. Finally, in appraising the dialpainters' campaign to secure compensation and prevention of further incidents -- efforts launched with the help of the reform-minded, middle-class women of the Consumers' League -- Clark is able to evaluate the achievements and shortcomings of the industrial health movement as a whole"--Page 4 of cover.1410L

on their home. Engineering design and economic guidance on what constitutes feasible and cost-effective retrofitting measures for flood-prone residential and non-residential structures are presented. Elevation, relocation, dry floodproofing, wet floodproofing, and the use of levees and floodwalls to mitigate flood hazards are discussed. This edition was updated to be more user-friendly and concise, the overall length of the publication has been shortened.
