Customer Reviews:
If you like carving birds, you'll love this book!.......2005-08-08
This book, plus the three others in this series, are a super find for anyone doing bird carving. They include background info on each bird, instructions and most importantly, a pattern showing the side view, the top view and front view. Tips on making feet, how to texture and burn your bird are covered and suggestions for mounting are included. I am in a weekly woodcarving club and I have seen the owl, hummingbird and the robin carved from patterns in this book and they looked really good. I carved a pair of chickadees that I am very proud of. This book shows only bird patterns, Lehman's other books cover other birds, plus a few animals. You really need to get all of his books for yourself--and to make yourself popular with other carvers. My only complaint, and it is just a minor one, is that I wish that information on painting the completed projects had been included.
Book Description
Step-by-step manual with full-size patterns for nine basic projects: three scarlet tanagers, group of robins, male cardinal, female cardinal, scissor-tailed flycatcher, blue jay, American gold-finch. Also general instructions, including how to make accurate carvings of any of the 800 American birds. 75 photographs and 22 full-page diagrams.

Book Description
This book examines a range of localized approaches to planning and policy as they emerge in England in the 1990s, situating the role of formal planning, and the development plan in particular, in addressing wider issues of local governance. It pioneers the empirical application of the institutionalist approach to policy analysis in relation to four policy areas--housing, economic development, transport, and waste--showing how such an approach can go beyond traditional analytical foci on organizations and procedural rules. The book combines conceptual innovation with detailed empirical evidence on issues of key current concern.

Book Description
"Hamid Mowlana, for decades, has been one of the foremost trackers and analyzers of global communications--their volume, character, and impact. No one is more qualified to explain these increasingly important and central issues to a wide public." --Herbert S. Schiller, New York University The rapid changes in the way we communicate across the globe continue to alter the many facets of society. Both interdisciplinary and intercultural in its approach, Global Communication in Transition examines the human dimensions and technological imperatives of international communications. Author Hamid Mowlana provides a comprehensive analysis beginning with the rise of modern political systems and the interactions of various cultures, through the expansion of social organizations and the growing global infrastructure. This unique perspective on global communication is organized around a number of basic concepts such as history, power, community, legitimacy, and language. By analyzing the political, economic, and cultural implications of communication today, within the broader concepts of such issues as community, Mowlana provides a new paradigm for the study of international communication. This auspicious text covers the history, theories, processes, and issues of international communication. Advanced undergraduates and graduate students in political science and international relations as well as communication will benefit greatly from the insightful scholarship offered in Global Communication in Transition.
Book Description
After the devastation of World War II, Germany and Japan built national capitalist institutions that were remarkably successful in terms of national reconstruction and international competitiveness. Yet both "miracles" have since faltered, allowing U.S. capital and its institutional forms to establish global dominance. National varieties of capitalism are now under intense pressure to converge to the U.S. model. Kozo Yamamura and Wolfgang Streeck have gathered an international group of authors to examine the likelihood of convergence—to determine whether the global forces of Anglo-American capitalism will give rise to a single, homogeneous capitalist system. The chapters in this volume approach this question from five directions: international integration, technological innovation, labor relations and production systems, financial regimes and corporate governance, and domestic politics.
In their introduction, Yamamura and Streeck summarize the crises of performance and confidence that have beset German and Japanese capitalism and revived the question of competitive convergence. The editors ask whether the two countries, confronted with the political and economic exigencies of technological revolution and economic internationalization, must abandon their distinctive institutions and the competitive advantages these have yielded in the past, or whether they can adapt and retain such institutions, thereby preserving the social cohesion and economic competitiveness of their societies.

Important book.......2005-08-16
Very interesting collection of essays, highly recommended if one wants to understand more on what is currently happening in Germany and Japan (i.e. important changes that will inject new dynamism in these two "fallen angels").

Pollution Kills More than Car Accidents........2005-09-20
Ten years ago, Mr. Ward was predicting some of the weather-related occurrences we have seen in the past few months. He blames it on certain atmospheric disturbances which multiply and may cause another extinction of life on earth.
Ozone is a form of oxygen which blocks the sun's damaging ultraviolet radiation. This thinning of the world's ozone level was first detected in 1985, twenty years ago, and is being destroyed by man-made compounds leaking into the atmosphere. CFCs were polluting and destroying ozone molecules. If the ozone continues to be depleted due to the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, increased amounts of ultraviolet radiation will bombard the earth continuously, and cause a higher rate of cancer in humans.
It's because of the changeds of levels of critical gases such as CO2 (carbon dioxide) and water vapor. Our planet stays warmer in large part known as the greenhouse effect called global warming. It will increase the spread of deserts and cause droughts and reduce water supplies.
In 1995, Mr. Ward predicted that this global warming is sure to lead to massive environmental changes over much of the earth. Even if detailed understanding of global warming still defies prediction, generalities emerge. It will cause the seas to rise to dangerous depths. The ice caps will melt and increase sea levels. The rate and extent will decide mankind's fate.
The faster the oceans rise and erode land, the greater incidence for loss of life. We've seen this already in New Orleans, where most of the occupants were forced to leave this historic town for a time, and Thailand where land lose and deaths were terrifically tragic.
Twice in distant past, catastrophic extinction caused the end of evolution. Our first mammalian ancestors survived, some 250 million years agao. The second great mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs perished. It was thought to have been caused by earth's collision with an asteroid.
He declares tht the signs for a third mass extinction have alrady started on our planet. We need to find some way to save the rich diversity of life and birds now endangered by changes and climate. We must strive to preserve life as we know it before our own extermination by poisoning from the air we pollute.
Peter D. Ward is a paleontologist in Seattle (where the 'think tank' for intelligent thinking exists) and is associated with the University of Washington. In 1991, he wrote ON METHUSELAH'S TRAIL: LIVING FOSSILS AND THE GREAT EXTINCTION. He follows this END OF EVOLUTION with FUTURE EVOLUTION in 2001). In 2004, his mastrepiece was GORGONS: PALEONTOLOGY, OBSESSION, AND THE GREATEST CASTROPHE IN EARTH'S HISTORY. They are all parts of this book, which is a bit over my head.
A bit too Informative.......2003-03-12
This would definitely be the book for someone to read if they have the time and want to know just about everything from the Paleozoic to the Mesozoic, along with issues of extinctions facing humans today. Mr. Ward goes quite in-depth with all his information to give a very full picture of how our predecessors lived when they graced the Earth, along with the cause of their demise and eventually ours if we don't slow the destruction being done to the environment. The language is easy to read and understand, with the exception of the occasional not so well explained term (KT boundary, etc.). Interesting overall if you have an interest in the life from the start of the Paleozoic to current times and have time to spare.
END OF EVOLUTION MASS EXTINICT & BIODIVERSITY.......2003-03-11
END OF EVOLUTION MASS EXTINICT & BIODIVERSITY by WARD,PETER is a brilliant look into the history of planet Earth and the life that once inhibited this planet. Throughout the history mass extinctions have occured resulting in the destruction of old world also resulting in the evolution of a new world. Throughout the book Dr. Ward describes these mass extinctions and warns of another mass extinction that may take place if Human Beings are not careful. I strongly advice anyone who is remotely interested in Geology or in any sciences to read this book!

Book Description
Minorities and Media is a highly readable analysis of the ways in which the mass media have portrayed minorities in the United States since the late nineteenth century. The book examines the ways in which the media have reinforced racial stereotypes, and provides an analysis of current trends which reflect the growing recognition of ethnic diversity. The authors conclude that the increasing racial diversity of the United States and continued audience segmentation will reduce the role of communication media in transmitting and developing the common culture of American society.
