Who Rules America Now?


Book Description

The author is convinced that there is a ruling class in America today. He examines the American power structure as it has developed in the 1980s. He presents systematic, empirical evidence that a fixed group of privileged people dominates the American economy and government. The book demonstrates that an upper class comprising only one-half of one percent of the population occupies key positions within the corporate community. It shows how leaders within this "power elite" reach government and dominate it through processes of special-interest lobbying, policy planning and candidate selection. It is written not to promote any political ideology, but to analyze our society with accuracy.

Guidelines for Compost Quality


Book Description

The guidelines presented in this document apply to compost produced from municipal solid waste (MSW) or other feedstock as determined by regulatory agencies. The objectives of the guidelines are to: protect public health and the environment; encourage source separation of MSW to produce a high quality compost product; produce compost standards that are fairly consistent across Canada while accommodating different interests and issues; ensure consumer confidence; and ensure that composting develops as an important waste or resource management solution and an environmentally sound industry. The guidelines are based on the following criteria for product safety and quality: foreign matter, maturity, pathogens, and trace elements. The guidelines attempt to integrate the concept that exposure is an integral part of risk by establishing two grades (unrestricted and restricted) of material.
