Over the last decade our view of chemistry has evolved substantially. Whereas individual researchers previously focused on specific areas of chemistry, such as inorganic, organic, etc. we now take a more holistic approach. Effective and efficient research projects now incorporate whatever aspects of the chemistry subdisciplines that are needed to complete the intended work. The main group elements have always been used in this manner. Depending on the use of the elements, the resulting work can be described under any heading of chemistry. The group 13 elements have been special in this regard...

Since 1982, more than 400 executions have taken place in Texas. No other state in the nation executes its citizens like Texas, a state that clearly has a love affair with the death penalty.

Born in the New Orleans suburb of Metairie, Louisiana, David Atwood's childhood playground was the French Quarter. His carousel consisted of daily rides on the Algiers' ferry.

With the familiar landmarks erased and once active neighborhoods shrouded...

David Atwood reminds us that the past is never lost, that it lives on inside the present moment. Blending snapshots from a Southern, Boomer-generation boyhood with meditations on the present moment in millennial America, these poems are suffused with wisdom, gentleness of spirit, love, and hope.
