By Dr. Patrick J. Udeh
In actuality, this book is written for the general public as well as the drinking water suppliers and professionals. However, It will also serve as research tool to water drinking water quality students, engineers, and instructors, nurses, and hospital care professionals. This book will also help water and wastewater treatment facilities who are concerned about chemicals in their water. The book is well organized to contain all and beyond, the USEPA lists of microbes, inorganic chemicals, organic chemicals, and radioactivity required to be tested by the water suppliers, who must report the test results to their customers annually in the Annual Water Quality Report (AWQR) or Consumer Confident Report (CCR). Several commercially popular bottled drinking waters were analyzed for the presence of contaminants. The results are discussed in the text.

In 20 years, what smoker will legitimately be able to claim that he or she didn't know cigarettes were harmful or addictive? And how shocked will a jury really be when it hears that a tobacco executive in the 1960s knew about the addictive nature of cigarettes? There's no real evidence that telling kids not to smoke really works. Indeed, studies have shown that it can often have the opposite effect. Children, by their very nature, love to defy authority, and spending millions on advertising to vilify the cigarette could ultimately serve to enhance its appeal. The cigarette is and will continue to be forbidden fruit. Even though the films of Hollywood's Golden Age once portrayed smoking as a normal activity, smoking no longer enjoys such popularity-and for good reason. An estimated 3.5 million people worldwide still die each year from smoking-related illnesses. Through the use of factoids and cartoons, author Gilbert M. Silva illustrates his belief that smokers are victims of what is essentially a ridiculous and deadly activity. The accompanying health statistics and description of consequences caused by the use of tobacco products are indisputable, and they deserve serious consideration. Your body will appreciate it, don't you think? " This is certainly an important topic, and I want to congratulate you on an entertaining and well-produced book." -Diane Scott-Lichter, publishing director, the American Cancer Society

After reading numerous books pertaining to the issue of how an individual might defend themselves against attack, I became curious as to why the authors really wanted their readers, or students to be attacked. Perhaps it was an ego thing. Perhaps they wanted to demonstrate the superiority of their own martial art, or style. Perhaps they wished to promote their own books as a vehicle to solicit students. All of the above seem acceptable to me, in that knowledge gained is worth the effort. Upon meeting several of these authors it became clear to me they had never even considered detection and prevention as being perfectly acceptable alternatives to having a direct confrontation. Detection is something few people ever consider. They are not trained in that area. Why should they be? They feel they are reactive and have extreme confidence in their combative skills. This is a very dangerous misconception. If you think you must change your habits, or lifestyle to protect yourself from becoming a victim, not so! Remember, I am going to instruct you on how to avoid becoming a victim, that will be quite painless. You already have the pre-conditioning necessary to become extremely effective with minimal effort on your part. The only other requisites will be your ability to see and analyze. So, with good eyesight and a fairly good brain you have all the weapons necessary to combat becoming a victim. Later on in the book I discuss the phenomena of "Reflex Reacting." This is why I know you will rapidly and logically learn and more importantly, retain the skills I am going to teach you.
