Kohler A Political Biography of Walter J

Kohler A Political Biography of Walter J

McCarthy and Eisenhower Nelson Lucey and Proxmire-they were all giants of state and national politics in the 1950s. Yet the period also produced Walter J. Kohler Jr. a three-term governor who in the words of the Milwaukee Journal was the most dominant force in Wisconsin politics of his era. In this highly readable biography personalities and events of the 1950s are discussed as are some of the issues that still divide contemporary Democrats and Republicans in the twenty-first century. Walter Kohler was one of two men to gather 1 million votes for governor in Wisconsin through the end of the twentieth century. He is credited with helping create the Eisenhower presidency both by his support in Wisconsin's critical presidential primary and by organizing the nation's Republican governors to endorse Ike in the run-up to the 1952 GOP Convention. He signed the largest income tax cut in percentage-rate terms at any level of government between Coolidge and Kennedy. He fought for a vast expansion of Wisconsin's highway system and in 1952 launched what became a national crusade for traffic safety. He paved the way for coordination of Wisconsin's now-unified university system; took the battle for civil rights to Wisconsin's shipping hotel manufacturing and other industries and became the first governor in two decades to fulfill his constitutional duty to enact a reapportionment of the state legislature. Fossedal also captures Kohler as political anti-hero. In an age when Americans long for self-governance by our political and corporate officials Kohler's integrity as a man may be as arresting as his acts as governor. | Kohler A Political Biography of Walter J

Rebuilding America's Cities

Rebuilding America's Cities

A growing cooperation between the public and private sectors indicates that the tasks of redevelopment are too large and complex for either sector to accomplish alone. Some people maintain that government can do few things right; others are equally distrustful of the private sector. As used here the private sector is considered to be all that is not government. Each of the success stories illustrated is in part a road to recovery although none appear to have been influenced by a purpose that broad. Paul R. Porter and David C. Sweet present stories of progress in self-reliance that concern neighborhood and downtown recoveries school improvement job generation a regained fiscal solvency novel financing techniques helping tenants to become homeowners and a successful venture in self-help and tenant management in crime-infested neighborhoods. The successes stem from the diverse community roles of Yale University a medical center the world's largest research organization the Clorox Company a gas company an insurance company a newspaper neighborhood and downtown organizations city governments and two religious organizations - the Mormon Church and the tiny Church of the Savior. These stories are located throughout the United States including Akron Baltimore Brooklyn Cincinnati Cleveland Columbus Fort Wayne Indianapolis Milwaukee New Haven Oakland Pittsburgh St. Louis St. Paul Salt Lake City Springfield Mass. Tampa and Washington D. C. The editors have gathered the work of professionals known in the field of urban studies: James W. Rouse Donald E. Lasater Rolf Goetze Dale F. Bertsch Joel Lieske Eugene H. Methvin James E. Kunde T. Michael Smith Robert Mier Carol Davidow Jay Chatterjee June Manning Thomas Norman Krumholz Larry C. Ledebur and Robert C. Holland. | Rebuilding America's Cities

Handbook of Chemical Regulations Benchmarking Implementation and Engineering Concepts

Handbook of Chemical Regulations Benchmarking Implementation and Engineering Concepts

The first book of its kind Handbook of Chemical Regulations: Benchmarking Implementation and Engineering Concepts introduces the concept of global harmonization and interlinks between regulations and examines the reasons behind major requirements for chemical manufacture article production and distribution importation and usage. A compendium of environmental health and safety and engineering concepts for global harmonization the book provides a road map between regulations from the European Union the United States and other countries who adopt similar regulations. As with any road map not every feature along the road is mapped; however what is shown are the markers leading to a point where more effective stewardship of your industrial development and chemical usage base is possible. The book discusses the Eurpoean Union’s Regulation (EC) No 1907/ 2006 - Registration Evaluation Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) the Eurpean Union’ s Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 for classification labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures and the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) perspectives for Safety Data Sheet (SDS) development and product labeling. In addition the United States Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) and Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) are presented as regards TSCA new substance review critiera and FIFRA required labeling. This compendium of information aids in the successful integration and implementation of the regulatory requirements—an integration that should lead to more efficient and effective business decisions. Rather than reacting to one regulation at a time making policy decisions that reflect the underlying conceptual framework of GHS will lead to safer products and safer industrial production sites. Based on a framework for regulatory standards this easy-to-read guide helps you understand the scientific concepts that are inherent in chemical usage and their interplay globally. | Handbook of Chemical Regulations Benchmarking Implementation and Engineering Concepts
