Guns or Butter : The Presidency of Lyndon Johnson

The World Health Organization and the Government of Ghana calculate that 1.8 - 2.2 million deaths occur every year due to food poisoning and waterborne illness.

More than one-in-every-three people in the US and Canada suffer from a foodborne illness every year.

This book covers some of the bacteria, spores, parasites, viruses and infectious agents that are responsible. It also covers fungal infections, toxic agents and additives that can lead to illness or death.

It shows readers the places where food poisoning can occur and also identifies the food supply chain as a major culprit since it prefers to be "self-regulated" rather than submitting to rigorous government inspection.

Also, bioterrorism is not being properly guarded against.

This book covers practical ways to reduce death rates. It questions why governments are reluctant to regulate and recommends that they take back their responsibility to guard the health of their citizens by mandating industry to adopt rigorous end-of-production-line testing, in addition to forcing the adoption of new technologies which can save the lives of everyday people.

The Sony Alpha NEX-7: The Unofficial Quintessential Guide provides a wealth of experience-based information and insights for owners of this exciting new camera. Authors Carol F. Roullard and Brian Matsumoto team up to help the new user navigate past the confusion factor that often comes with complex and powerful camera equipment.

This book explores the features and capabilities of the camera in a way that far surpasses the user's manual. It guides you through the camera features with step-by-step setting adjustments and detailed how, when, and why explanations for each option. Every button, dial, switch, and menu configuration setting is explored in a friendly manner, with suggestions and tips for setup according to various shooting styles. The informative text is illustrated with screenshots and example images throughout, making it easy to follow along.

The authors cover everything from the basic features of the camera to numerous advanced photographic applications. The first section of the book teaches the new user to start taking pictures immediately by using the camera's Intelligent Automatic mode. The second section covers how to begin taking more control by switching to the semi-automatic modes. Finally, you'll learn to take full manual control of the camera, allowing you to break some "rules" and capture images that are a unique reflection of your creative personality.

Carol and Brian go beyond just the camera itself and share how third-party software and optional accessories can improve on the camera's standard commands. You'll even learn how the electronic viewfinder, the fixed mirror, and Sony's novel shutter design improve the camera's utility for critical scientific photography (i.e., photomicrography and photography through the telescope).

The Sony Alpha NEX-7: The Unofficial Quintessential Guide will allow you to really take control of your camera, to push the envelope, and to have fun.
