Die Ems-Chemie ist eines der bekanntesten Industrieunternehmen der Schweiz und der wichtigste private Arbeitgeber in Graubünden. Ursprünglich hiess sie Holzverzuckerungs A.G. und war ein Kind der Kriegswirtschaft. Mit öffentlichen Mitteln gebaut und betrieben, stellte sie Ersatztreibstoff aus Holzabfällen her. Als Benzinimporte nach dem Krieg den teuren Treibstoff überflüssig machten, räumte der Bund dem Emser Werk eine subventionierte Übergangsfrist ein. Bis 1955 musste es sich am Markt positionieren – oder dichtmachen. Die waghalsige Transformation zu einem rentablen Chemie-Unternehmen steht im Zentrum dieses Buches. Dank hartnäckiger Recherchen kann die Autorin zeigen, wie Firmengründer Werner Oswald mithilfe deutscher Berater und Spezialisten mit NS-Vergangenheit eine Kunstfaserproduktion aufbaute. Um neue Absatzmöglichkeiten für den Treibstoff zu schaffen, stieg er auch ins Waffengeschäft ein. Ingenieure aus Peenemünde, dem Geburtsort von Hitlers «Wunderwaffe» V2, entwickelten in Ems eine Rakete, andere konstruierten Zünder und Minen, während Schweizer Chemiker an einer Napalm-Variante tüftelten, die später in Kriegen in Burma, Indonesien und im Jemen eingesetzt wurde.

What do nylon stockings and atomic bombs have in common? DuPont. The chemical firm of DuPont de Nemours pioneered the development of both nylon and plutonium, playing an important role in the rise of mass consumption and the emergence of the notorious “military-industrial complex.” In this fascinating account of the lives and careers of Du Pont’s chemical engineers, Pap A. Ndiaye deftly illustrates the contribution of industry to the genesis of a dominant post–World War II “American model” connecting prosperity with security. The consumer and military dimensions of twentieth-century American history are often studied separately. Ndiaye reunites them by examining Du Pont's development of nylon, which symbolized a new way of life, and plutonium, which was synonymous with annihilation. Reflecting on the experiences and contributions of the company's engineers and physicists, Ndiaye traces Du Pont's transformation into one of the corporate models of American success.

A close study of the visual record left by political visits following disasters Presidents Herbert Clark Hoover and George Walker Bush were challenged many times during their political careers. On Floods and Photo Ops: How Herbert Hoover and George W. Bush Exploited Catastrophes focuses on the visual record of two such tests: the relief efforts led by Commerce Secretary Hoover during the 1927 Mississippi River flood and the Bush team's response to Hurricane Katrina. By concentrating on these two historic events, Paul Martin Lester discusses political photography, particularly the use of photo ops during catastrophes. He illuminates the evolution of a genre and explores the differences and similarities between these two American politicians. Hoover and Bush reached the pinnacle of political achievement, only to lose in the court of popular opinion. From two photo ops that occurred almost eighty years apart, Lester offers a model for close readings and comparisons of images in practicing visual history. Under Lester's examination, these otherwise unremarkable photographs speak volumes about political response to natural disasters. He offers readers not just a deeper appreciation of these pictures but a methodology for seriously studying photographs and what they can reveal about a historical moment. Paul Martin Lester is a professor of communications at California State University, Fullerton. He is the author of Visual Communication: Images with Messages and Photojournalism: An Ethical Approach and coeditor of Images That Injure: Pictorial Stereotypes in the Media.

When did "chemical" become a dirty word? Forty or so years ago, chemistry -- which had been recognized as a miracle-making boon to humanity - somehow became associated with warfare, sinister food additives, "toxins" and pollution. It's a situation that Dr. Joe Schwarcz aims to put into perspective. Yes, there's a downside to chemistry, he says, but this is dwarfed by its enormous benefits. Dr. Joe's new collection of commentaries will inspire an appreciation for the science of everyday life, and equip you to spot the muddled thinking, misunderstandings and deceptions in media stories and advertising claims. Does organic food really always equal better food? Are vaccines dangerous? Will the latest health fad make you ill? Do expensive wrinkle creams do the job? What are the best ways to avoid cancer? The answers to such questions often lie in an understanding of the chemistry involved. Ask Dr. Joe. Science, Sense and Nonsense celebrates chemistry's great achievements, lambastes its charlatans, and explores its essential connections to our wellbeing. And does so in authoritative, highly readable, good humoured style.
