As US-Russian relations scrape the depths of cold-war antagonism, the promise of partnership that beguiled American administrations during the first post-Soviet decades increasingly appears to have been false from the start. Why did American leaders persist in pursuing it? Was there another path that would have produced more constructive relations or better prepared Washington to face the challenge Russia poses today?With a practitioner's eye honed during decades of work on Russian affairs, Thomas Graham deftly traces the evolution of opposing ideas of national purpose that created an inherent tension in relations. Getting Russia Right identifies the blind spots that prevented Washington from seeing Russia as it really is and crafting a policy to advance American interests without provoking an aggressive Russian response. Distilling the Putin factor to reveal the contours of the Russia challenge facing the United States whenever he departs the scene, Graham lays out a compelling way to deal with it so that the United States can continue to advance its interests in a rapidly changing world.

Chemical Reports and Memoirs on: Atomic Volume, Isomorphism, Endosmosis, Contrast of Colors, Latent Heat of Steam and Artificial Formation of Alkaloids is a scientific book written by Thomas Graham. The book contains a collection of chemical reports and memoirs that cover various topics related to chemistry. The first topic covered in the book is atomic volume, which is a measure of the space occupied by atoms in a substance. Graham's report on atomic volume discusses the determination of atomic volumes for different elements and how they can be used to understand the properties of substances.The second topic covered in the book is isomorphism, which is the phenomenon where two or more substances have the same crystal structure. Graham's report on isomorphism discusses the principles behind this phenomenon and how it can be used to identify different substances.The third topic covered in the book is endosmosis, which is the movement of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane into a solution containing a solute. Graham's report on endosmosis discusses the principles behind this phenomenon and how it can be used to understand the properties of solutions.The fourth topic covered in the book is the contrast of colors, which is the phenomenon where two or more substances have different colors when they are combined. Graham's report on the contrast of colors discusses the principles behind this phenomenon and how it can be used to identify different substances.The fifth topic covered in the book is the latent heat of steam, which is the amount of heat required to convert a unit mass of water into steam at a constant temperature. Graham's report on the latent heat of steam discusses the principles behind this phenomenon and how it can be used to understand the properties of steam.The final topic covered in the book is the artificial formation of alkaloids, which are naturally occurring organic compounds that have a basic nitrogen atom. Graham's report on the artificial formation of alkaloids discusses the principles behind this process and how it can be used to synthesize alkaloids in the laboratory.Overall, Chemical Reports and Memoirs on: Atomic Volume, Isomorphism, Endosmosis, Contrast of Colors, Latent Heat of Steam and Artificial Formation of Alkaloids is a comprehensive scientific book that covers a wide range of topics related to chemistry. It is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the field of chemistry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Near the end of the nineteenth century, Standard Oil millionaire Henry Morrison Flagler ventured to St. Augustine, Florida, America's Oldest City, and transformed it into an exotic travel destination for the social elite. He raised magnificent, fanciful Spanish Renaissance hotel palaces on what had been orange grove and salt marsh. Then he connected his creation with the outside world by building a modern railroad system. Flagler's hotels stand as monuments to innovation in architecture and engineering. They were the first large buildings in the United States constructed of poured concrete, and they pioneered use of novel amenities like electric lights, steam heat, and elevators. They are still a vital part of modern St. Augustine. The Ponce de Leon, Flaglers preeminent hotel, now houses Flagler College; the Alcazar now holds the City Hall and the Lightner Museum. Only the Casa Monica (previously called the Cordova) is presently a hotel.
