Department of State Washington File: Text: Mine Action Information Center Issues New Edition of "Smart Book"
The Mine Action Information Center at James Madison University has released the second edition of "The Landmine Action Smart Book," a primer and reference tool on the humanitarian threat posed by persistent landmines and unexploded ordnance around the world. Publication of the Smart Book, which is designed for the general public, students and the media, was funded by the U.S. Department of State's Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement. ... The well-illustrated 42-page Smart Book describes the global landmine threat, the nature of landmines, and the main pillars of humanitarian mine action: humanitarian demining, mine risk education for populations in mine affected areas, and landmine survivors assistance. It also provides information on the two international landmine treaties - the Amended Mines Protocol to the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons to which the United States is a State Party, and the "Ottawa Convention." In addition, the Smart Book examines research and development to increase the efficiency, speed and safety of humanitarian demining, including such cutting-edge technologies as the U.S.-developed "HSTAMiDS" mine detector that combines ground-penetrating radar with a metal detector, as well as explosive-detecting bacteria, bees and giant African pouch rats that may eventually augment the deminer's "toolbox." ...

Department of State Washington File: Text: U.S. Scientists Write Book for Chinese Students in American Schools
"An Illustrated Chinese-English Guide for Biomedical Scientists" was written by scientists at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Maryland, Weidong Wu, Yuh-Chin Huang, Xinchao Wang, and James Samet. Frustrated by frequent interruptions to laboratory discussions caused by confusion over the meaning of common scientific terms, they conceived the idea of a portable, practical, look-up guide much like the field guides to birdlife invented by Roger Tory Peterson. Their book has two main components: illustrations of laboratory equipment used for tasks like measuring, culturing, and separating; and a list of technical terms commonly used in laboratory life. Each tool and term is named in both simple and complex Chinese. The book also contains useful travel information for visitors to the U.S. And on an associated website (http://chinese-english.cshl.org), each of the English terms used in the book can be listened to, as an aid to learning pronunciation. ...
