Que sait-on de ce mouvement obscur qui est parti des milieux islamistes modestes du nord du Nigéria pour prendre de l'ampleur en réussissant l'exploit d'exporter la terreur dans les foyers des pays environnants ? Trempé dans l'univers religieux dont il revendique une certaine exclusivité, le mouvement parle un langage outrageusement hostile à la raison. Il veut se fonder une légitimité inhérente à une fausse transcendance qu'il mêle à un pragmatisme violent. A qui pourrait bien profiter cette tourmente instaurée par une des pires sectes qu'ait connues le continent africain ?

Here's your missing aquarium owner's handbook: A guide from the beginning of aquarium keeping to that of an up-to-date review of aquarium filtration processes. Whether a beginner or expert, this must-have reference work is for both freshwater and marine
There is hardly any technical library in the world in which the volumes of the Chemical Formulary (Volumes 1-34) do not occupy a prominent place. Chemists both experienced and beginner, continually refer to them. It does not duplicate any of the formulas included in previous volumes, but lists a wide array of modern and salable products from all branches of the chemical industries. An excellent reference for formulation problems. PREFACE - Chemistry, as taught in our schools and colleges, concerns chiefly synthesis, analysis, and engineering-and properly so. It is part of the right foundation for the education of the chemist. Many a chemist entering an Industry soon finds that most of the products manufactured by his concern are not synthetic or definite complex compounds, but are mixtures, blends, or highly complex compounds of which he knows little or nothing. The literature in this field, if any, may be meager, scattered, or obsolete. Even chemists with years of experience In one or more Industries spend considerable time and effort in acquainting themselves with any new field which they may enter.Consulting chemists similarly have to solve problems brought to them from industries foreign to them. There was a definite need for an up-to-date compilation of formulae for chemical compounding and treatment. Since the fields to be covered are many and varied, an editorial board of chemists and engineers engaged in many industries was formed. Many publications, laboratories, manufacturing firms, and Individuals have been consulted to obtain the latest and best information. It is felt that the formulas given in this volume will save chemists and allied workers much time and effort. Manufacturers and sellers of chemicals will find, In these formulae, new uses for their products. Non-chemical executives, professional men, and Interested laymen will make through this volume a "speaking acquaintance" with products which they may be using, trying or selling. It often happens that two Individuals using the same Ingredients in the same formula get different results. This may be due to slight deviations in the raw materials or unfamiliarity with the intricacies of a new technique. Accordingly, repeated experiments may be necessary to get the best results.Although many of the formulas given are being used commercially, many have been taken from the literature and may be subject to various errors and omissions. This should be taken into consideration. Wherever possible, it is advisable to consult with other chemists or technical workers regarding commercial production.- CONTENTS - ADDENDA, ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS - ADHESIVES - AGRICULTURAL SPECIALTIES - ALLOYS - ANIMAL PREPARATIONS - BEVERAGES AND FLAVORS - FOOD PRODUCTS - CLEANERS, SOAPS - BLEACHING, COLORING, DYEING - COSMETICS - DECOLORIZING, DEODORIZING, DISINFECTING - EMULSIONS - ETCHING, ENGRAVING, LITHOGRAPHING - EXPLOSIVES, PYROTEcHNICS, MATCHES - FIRE PROOFING, FIRE EXTINGUISHING - FLUXES AND SOLDERS; WELDING - FUELS - GLASS, CERAMICS, ENAMELS - INK, CARBON PAPER, DUPLICATORS, CRAYONS, ETC - INSECT, RODENT AND WEED DESTROYERS - INSULATION, ELECTRICAL SPECIALTIES - LACQUERS, PAINTS, VARNISHES, STAINS - LEATHER, HIDES, SKINS, FURS - CEMENT, CONCRETE, STONE AND MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION - METALS AND TREATMENT MISCELLANEOUS OILS, FATS, GREASES, LUBRICANTS, CUTTING OILS - PAPER AND PULP - PHARMACEUTICAL AND PROPRIETARY PREPARATIONS - PHOTOGRAPHY - PLASTICS, CELLULOID, CELLULOSE ESTERS, COMPOSITIONS - PLATING - POLISH, ABRASIVES, METAL CLEANERS - REPAIRING, RENOVATING, REMOVING STAINS - RESINS, GUMS, WAXES - RUBBER - RUST PREVENTING, PICKLING - SILK, RAYON, COTTON, FIBRE - SIZING AND STIFFENING, SOFTENERS - WATERPROOFING - TABLES - REFERENCES CONSULTED - INDEX -
