This is a comprehensive and authoritative treatise on all aspects of the theory, instrumentation and practical usefulness of electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) and associated techniques. This book reflects the significant changes that have taken place in this popular technique for the accurate determination of metals at ultratrace concentrations in a wide variety of sample types. This book provides coverage of: * The evolution of ETAAS * Heating characteristics of graphite furnace atomizers * Detailed descriptions of modern instrumentation * The use of chemical modifiers * Atomization from solids and slurries * Other specialized techniques using electrothermal atomizers * Extensive cross-referencing between chapters Comprehensive coverage combined with a descriptive style make this a key resource for graduate students in analytical chemistry, researchers in analytical atomic spectrometry and analysts who routinely use ETAAS.

If racism is embedded in everything, as many of the current understandings imply, can the concept explain anything? If the whole system is racist, is antiracism possible without dismantling everything? This book is a comprehensive response to these thorny questions. Moving beyond the classic debates in sociology, anthropology, and race studies about structure vs. agency, materialism vs. culture, and racism as intentional human act vs. racism as unintentional systemic force, Jackson argues that racism embraces all of these: structural racism influences and is influenced by individual and collective agency; material conditions motivate cultural constructions of race which in turn affect material conditions; and intentional and unintentional human actions form a dynamic social process of racial stratification. Racism, Jackson contends, is a social process which uses racial categorization to solve organizational issues related to the production and distribution of valued societal resources. Disaggregating Racism advances this argument by analytically separating racism into four constitutive components—race, social structure, power, and legitimation—and demonstrating how their interaction produces both the durability and variability of racism across time. Tracing these dynamics across four historical periods, from the colonial era to the contemporary United States, the book shows not only how racism persists, but how and why it changes—thereby restoring analytical precision to the concept and reopening the question of what effective antiracist intervention can realistically achieve.
