Kamelia Detig-Karlou: Sustainability has always been very present for me as a chemist. My studies were about recycling PET bottles, which was revolutionary at the time. When I joined the BMW Group in 2002, my areas of interest were in surfaces, powder coating and zero emissions technology i...
Connie and I wanted to freak out and rail against the bagel gods, but we didn’t have a backup option, so we zipped off to a make-up and special effects shop in Newtown, did a quick consult and then sped off to the Chemist for some black eye shadow to boot. A mere five hours ...
Gary Renegar Hilton portrays Shangri-La as a mystical, harmonious valley enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. Eleanor McKnight Set in the troubled years before World War Two, the book tells of a community in a lamasery (a monastery for Tibetan lamas), in the lost Tibetan val...
