Woman of Substances
Journalist Jenny Valentish takes a gendered look at drugs and alcohol, using her own story to light the way.Mining the expertise of 35 leading researchers, clinicians and psychiatrists, she explores the early predictors of addictive behaviour, such as trauma, temperament and impulsivity.Drawing on neuroscience, she explains why other self-destructive behaviours – such as eating disorders, compulsive buying and high-risk sex – are interchangeable with problematic substance use.From her childhood in suburban Slough to her chaotic formative years in the London music scene, we follow her journey to Australia, where she experiences firsthand treatment facilities and AA groups, and reflects whether or not they are meeting the needs of women.Woman of Substances is an insightful, rigorous and brutally honest read.In Australia it was nominated for a prestigious Walkley Book Award. 'Employing expert interviews and research, each rich personal episode is contextualised within the under-examined issue of women's substance abuse.Detailed, insightful and told with a feature writer's narrative flair' Bookseller and Publisher. 'Engages readers with storytelling while presenting scientific findings and theories in a way that is accessible to a broad audience' Broadsheet. 'Part monograph, part memoir, part Ginsbergian howl of outrage at a culture in which gender bias is a tenet.It is a work of compellingly articulate anger' The Australian. 'In straightforward, lively prose she relates even her darkest moments without self-pity or aggrandisement, and often with a streak of gallows humour, leading to more laugh-out-loud lines than you might expect' The Saturday Paper. 'We need books like this, and writers like Valentish, to give voice to our frustrations and concerns, to help legitimise and mobilise' Kill Your Darlings. 'Valentish's passion lies in exploring the underlying causes and their effects and, in the most female of ways, offering companionship and reassurance for her readers' The Monthly. 'Doesn't mince her words' Sydney Morning Herald.

Using Economic Incentives to Regulate Toxic Substances
Using case studies, the authors evaluate the potential attractiveness of incentive-based policies for the regulation of four specific toxic substances: chlorinated solvents, formaldehyde, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants. Originally published in 1992, the authors provide a compelling demonstration of the role of case studies in determining the appropriate regulatory approach for the specific toxic substances.This is a valuable title for students concerned with environmental issues and policy making.

What are ion substances and molecule substances?
Ion substances are compounds made up of positively and negatively charged ions, such as sodium chloride (NaCl) or calcium carbonate (CaCO3). These substances are held together by electrostatic forces between the ions. Molecule substances, on the other hand, are made up of covalently bonded atoms, such as water (H2O) or carbon dioxide (CO2). These substances are held together by sharing electrons between the atoms. In summary, ion substances are composed of charged ions held together by electrostatic forces, while molecule substances are composed of covalently bonded atoms held together by shared electrons.
-
To which substances do the elementary substances belong?
Elementary substances belong to the category of pure chemical elements. These are the basic building blocks of matter and cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical reactions. Examples of elementary substances include hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and iron. Each element is defined by its unique atomic structure and properties.
-
Why do polar substances dissolve in polar substances?
Polar substances dissolve in polar substances because they have similar intermolecular forces. Polar substances, such as water, have a partial positive and partial negative charge, which allows them to form hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules. When a polar substance is added to a polar solvent, the partial charges on the solvent molecules attract and surround the solute molecules, causing them to separate and disperse evenly throughout the solvent. This allows the polar solute to dissolve in the polar solvent, forming a homogeneous mixture.
-
To which substances do the elemental substances belong?
Elemental substances belong to the group of pure substances, which are made up of only one type of atom. These elemental substances are the building blocks of all matter and cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Examples of elemental substances include hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and gold.

Psychedelic Wisdom : The Astonishing Rewards of Mind-Altering Substances
Over the past decade, many famous entrepreneurs and celebrities have begun to open up about their life-changing experiences with psychedelics that led to their personal successes.But less well-known are the wisdom-bringing psychedelic experiences of many top psychologists, psychiatrists, researchers, and others who have taken what they learned from their entheogenic experiences and applied it in their professions, leading to therapeutic advancements, scientific discoveries, and healing for thousands. In this profound book, Dr. Richard Louis Miller shares stories of psychedelic transformation, insight, and wisdom from his conversations with 19 scientists, doctors, therapists, and teachers, each of whom has been self-experimenting with psychedelic medicines, sub rosa, for decades.We hear from scientific psychonaut Amanda Feilding, founder of the Beckley Foundation; ethnobotanical explorer Dennis McKenna; research advocate and head of MAPS Rick Doblin; and the “Sunshine Makers”: Tim Scully, the scientist taught to make LSD by Owsley Stanley, and Michael Randall, the leader of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love.We learn about recasting “bad trips” as unfamiliar challenges from psychedelic swami Dr. Allan Ajaya, therapeutic uses of MDMA from “the love doctor” Charley Wininger, decades of insights from psychedelic professor Thomas B.Roberts, as well as several others. Revealing the psychedelic wisdom uncovered in spite of decades of the “War on Drugs,” Dr. Miller and his contributors show how LSD and other psychedelics offer a pathway to creativity, healing, innovation, and liberation.

Substances, Welfare, and Social Relations : Breaking Stigma, Pursuing Hope
Substances, Welfare, and Social Relations uses intimate, complex portraits to tell the stories of people who have lived some part of their life course while using or recovering from using substances (such as alcohol or illicit or prescription drugs) and also being part of a family and experiencing poverties. Through these multifaceted stories, layered with a critical analysis of welfare policy, the book probes the deeply entrenched stigma of living with addiction and in low income.Amber Gazso’s work revolves around the three-principles idea that (1) addiction is part of everyday life; (2) if we believe that people are not their addictions, then stigmatizing addiction has no place in society; and (3) destigmatizing addiction and providing better, more imaginative programs and services invites and supports actionable hope.Reflecting on qualitative data, both narrative interviews and policy discourse, Substances, Welfare, and Social Relations illuminates how stigmas can be overturned through a collective praxis of hope.

Can organic substances split and combine with other substances?
Yes, organic substances can split and combine with other substances through chemical reactions. For example, organic compounds can undergo processes such as hydrolysis, where they split into smaller molecules by reacting with water. Additionally, organic substances can also combine with other substances through synthesis reactions, where new organic compounds are formed by combining smaller molecules. These chemical reactions are fundamental to the behavior and properties of organic substances in living organisms and in the environment.
-
Why do substances dissolve in other substances or not?
Substances dissolve in other substances when the intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent are strong enough to overcome the forces holding the solute together. This allows the solute particles to become surrounded by solvent particles and spread out evenly throughout the solvent. On the other hand, substances may not dissolve in a particular solvent if the intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent are not strong enough to overcome the forces holding the solute together, or if the solute and solvent have incompatible polarities.
-
Which substances float?
Substances that are less dense than the liquid they are placed in will float. This includes materials such as wood, plastic, cork, and ice.
