Review: Edgar Rice Burroughs: The Bibliography by Dr. Robert B. Zeuschner
August 10, 2016 August 10, 2016 Michael Sellers ERBDOM
Christmas has come early for fans and scholars of Edgar Rice Burroughs, with the publication of Dr. Robert B. Zeuschner's Edgar Rice Burroughs: The Bibliography, a spectacular and passionately assembled compendium representing two decades of work spent documenting the complete catalogue of Burroughs' North American published works. Zeuschner has done far more than simply document the works of Burroughs, however — he has breathed life into the telling of the history of Burroughs' published output — a remarkable century plus run that began with the publication of A Princess of Mars in All-Story magazine in February 1912, then continued throughout Burroughs' life only to be re-born a dozen years after the author's death with the great paperback surge of the sixties, and continues until today, with new editions continuing to appear more than a century after the first book was published.
Edgar Rice Burroughs: The Bibliography clocks in at over 700 pages, the majority of them in color, and begins with a biographical sketch of Burroughs that will be familiar to most fans, but which grounds what follows in the story of a life exceedingly well lived, with its share of adventures, heartaches, defeats, and ultimately some glorious victories that fans can share. Then comes the meat of the book — a chapter on each book, tracing its life via publication, more than 2000 entries in all. Along the way are more than 500 color illustrations of the book covers and dust jackets under discussion, plus 100 interior black and white illustrations, many with inscriptions to family.
The book will be of special interest to the battalions of dedicated collectors of ERB's works, giving them a road map for the acquisition of rare titles as well as a handy means of charting and evaluating the status of their holdings. Knowing that the author is Dr. Robert B. Zeuschner one of the most respected longtime Burroughs scholars, and the publisher is Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., readers can be confident in the definitive nature of the compendium.
Finally, a note about the small treasures that are to be found inside. Aside from the illustrations, there are examples of the promotional materials used by the publishers, both for trade and public consumption, plus samples of Burroughs' correspondence, work-in-progress artwork, and other unexpected delights.
If it's not yet clear — let me make it so: I highly recommend this work as an essential companion to any fan or scholar's collections of the works of the great master of speculative fiction, Edgar Rice Burroughs. I have been waiting for years for Dr. Zeuschner, a professor of comparative philosophy and longtime Burroughs Bibliophile, to complete his epic project, and when it arrived — I found that it exceeds even my highest expectations. Its an essential and extraordinary labor of love, passion, curiousity, and insight.

Devin Brown (Salt Lake City, Utah, 30 de diciembre de 1978) es un exjugador estadounidense de baloncesto que jugó ocho temporadas en la NBA. Además jugó en la liga polaca y en la NBA D-League. Con 1,96 metros de altura, jugaba en la posición de escolta.

Carrera

Universidad
Brown jugó cuatro años al baloncesto en la Universidad de Texas en San Antonio, convirtiéndose en el máximo anotador de la historia de la universidad con 1.922 puntos. En las cuatro campañas en UTSA promedió 18.3 puntos, 7.2 rebotes, 2.7 asistencias y 1.75 robos y 32 minutos de juego en 105 partidos. Además, Brown se convirtió en el único jugador de UTSA en realizar un triple-doble en un encuentro, conseguido el 17 de febrero de 2001 ante Louisiana-Monroe Indians (33 puntos, 11 rebotes y 11 asistencias). Fue nombrado Freshman del Año en la Southland Conference en 1999, y en el mejor quinteto de la conferencia en tres ocasiones. Su número fue retirado en UTSA, siendo el primer Roadrunner que lo logra.

NBA
Debido a que Brown no fue seleccionado en el Draft de la NBA, comenzó su carrera profesional en Kansas Cagerz de la USBL. Tras ganar el Rookie del Año de dicha liga, fue invitado al campus de entrenamiento de San Antonio Spurs. Sin embargo, fue cortado antes de que comenzara la competición, pero volvió a firmar en noviembre de 2002 por dos semanas. Brown fue seleccionado en el Draft de la NBDL por Fayetteville Patriots, jugando con ellos 44 partidos y siendo nombrado MVP de la temporada y Rookie del Año, promediando 16.9 puntos con un 50% en tiros de campo, 4.1 rebotes y 2 asistencias en 24.7 minutos de juego. Firmó un contrato de diez días con Denver Nuggets y jugó 2 encuentros.

Finalmente, Brown firmó por tercera y última vez con los Spurs y apareció en 58 partidos de la temporada 2003-04, tomando un papel importante en playoffs. En el sexto encuentro de las Semifinales de Conferencia ante Los Angeles Lakers, Brown anotó 15 puntos y cogió 6 rebotes en 28 minutos. Posteriormente ganaría las Finales de la NBA derrotando a Detroit Pistons.

En la campaña 2005-06, en Utah Jazz, aumentó sus promedios hasta los 7.4 puntos, 2.6 rebotes y 1.4 asistencias. El 12 de julio de 2006, los Jazz traspasaron a Brown junto con Keith McLeod y Andre Owens a Golden State Warriors por el veterano base Derek Fisher. Los Warriors cortaron a Brown en pretemporada y el 22 de diciembre de 2006 firmó con New Orleans Hornets debido a la plaga de lesiones del equipo. En 58 partidos con los Hornets, 49 como titular, Brown promedió 11.6 puntos y 4.3 rebotes, siendo una de las principales referencias ofensivas del equipo.

El 29 de septiembre de 2007, Brown firmó un contrato de un año con Cleveland Cavaliers, promediando en la temporada 7,5 puntos, 3,4 rebotes y 2,2 asistencias por partido. En agosto de 2008 firmó contrato por dos temporadas con New Orleans Hornets.

El 25 de enero de 2010 fue traspasado a Chicago Bulls a cambio de Aaron Gray.

China Extends AD/CVD Investigation on U.S. Monoalkyl Ethers of Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol
By Huan Zhu - September 06, 2021
On August 27, MOFCOM issued notices to extend anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations on certain U.S. chemical products. The ongoing investigations, both launched in 2020, have now been extended for six months.
With regard to the CVD investigation, MOFCOM stated (link in Chinese) that:
According to the Countervailing Regulations of the People's Republic of China, on September 14, 2020, the Ministry of Commerce issued Notice No. 37 of 2020, determining to launch a countervailing investigation on the imports of monoalkyl ethers of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol originating in the United States.
Due to the complexity of this case, the Ministry of Commerce decided to extend the investigation period of this case by 6 months, in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 of the Countervailing Regulations of the People's Republic of China. The new deadline is March 14, 2022.
A separate document (link in Chinese) issued on the same day indicates that the AD investigation has also been extended for six months. The new deadline is February 28, 2022.
The anti-dumping investigation (link in Chinese) was launched on August 31, 2020, and the countervailing duty investigation (link in Chinese) started on September 14, 2020.
The products under investigation, monoalkyl ethers of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, can be used as solvent agents, dispersants and dilutants, fuel antifreeze, or extractants. As an important material for organic synthesis, they are widely used in electronic chemicals, coating materials, pharmaceuticals and pesticides, and other chemical products.
