Carlos and the squash plant.......2002-06-02

This book is extremely funny. Most of the children hate to take baths. This book has beautiful colored pages and the Spanish language is clear, fluent and well used. I recommend this book to be use in the classroom for English language learners or for dual inmersion settings.

Carlos hates to take a bath.......2000-04-02

I am a Kindergarten teacher who has read this book to many classes. They love it! Many little children relate to Carlos and his aversion to baths. I understand there are flaws in the translation, but, as a read aloud for children it scores big.

Description:
The future evolution of our agricultural landscapes and countryside is the subject of considerable debate and policy discussion, alongside which is an increasing emphasis on the inclusion of public consultation and participation within planning and decision making systems. However, communicating different proposed policy options in a manner that facilitates informed decisions from stakeholders can be far from straightforward. This is particularly true with more abstract and uncertain issues such as potential impacts of climate change. Scenarios depicting the possible outcomes of policy options provide a useful tool to evaluate the potential consequences of choices. This paper documents an approach to constructing scenarios that can incorporate potential climate change impacts, and reflect the uncertainty in climate change projections due to different environmental policies. It describes the construction of scenarios using the Humberhead Levels in the UK as a case study and portrays the scenarios using two forms of visualisation-digital photo-montage and a real-time landscape model. The method is equally applicable to other study areas across Europe where suitable data are available. Preliminary reactions from an audience to scenario images are discussed, as well as the technical and practical challenges of using visualisation techniques to support decision making.

Description:
Comparisons of organic and inorganic fertilizer effects on nematode communities depend on the specific organic fertilizer used. Field experiments were conducted during 2001 and 2002 in a squash (Cucurbita pepo) agroecosystem to determine if applying sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) hay as an organic fertilizer improved nematode communities involved in soil nutrient cycling compared to an equivalent N rate (100kgN/ha) of ammonium nitrate. Fertilizer source had minimal effect on nematode communities in 2001 when treatments were applied after a winter cover crop of oats (Avena sativa), but differences (P@?0.05) between the fertilizer sources occurred in 2002 when no winter cover cropping preceded squash. Fertilization with sunn hemp hay increased abundance of the bacterivore guilds Ba"1 and Ba"2, and increased fungivores at the end of the experiment. Compared to ammonium nitrate, fertilization with sunn hemp hay resulted in a community with lower maturity index, higher enrichment index, and lower channel index, consistent with a disturbed and nutrient-enriched soil food web undergoing bacterial decomposition. Sunn hemp hay occasionally stimulated omnivorous nematodes, but suppressed plant-parasitic nematodes relative to ammonium nitrate fertilizer. Increasing the sunn hemp hay rate to 200kgN/ha increased the abundance of bacterivores, fungivores, and predatory nematodes, and total nematode abundance compared to hay at 100kgN/ha. Fertilization with ammonium nitrate increased the percentage of herbivores, but reduced percentage and abundance of omnivores. In conclusion, sunn hemp fertilizer maintained greater numbers of nematodes involved in nutrient cycling as compared to ammonium nitrate.

Book Description

Exchange is a pervasive concept in everyday life, affecting phenomena as diverse as interpersonal relationships and market transactions. In addition, economists have used the concept in a highly specific and clearly delineated way. Against this background, Expanding the Economic Concept of Exchange sets out to expand the concept of exchange by crossing the boundaries laid down by economists and by examining the function played by deceptions, self-deceptions and illusions. The main motivation for expanding the concept of exchange was the realization that in the prototypical economic model deception is not taken into account. Hence, economists traditionally regard deception as some sort of irrationality, as a flaw in an otherwise perfectly rational process. Authors represented in this volume take a different approach examining deception as a constituent quality of exchange. This is shown by the contributions drawing on recent developments in economic theory, by those with an anthropological orientation, as well as by a contribution referring specifically to Adam Smith. An interrogation into deception is long overdue in economics. This volume prepares the ground for and makes the first contributions to explicitly acknowledging deceptions, self-deceptions and illusions as fundamental dimensions allowing us as economists to further research and develop the concept of change. A particular and perhaps unexpected focus of this volume lies on anthropology, because economics can clearly benefit from integrating selected results on deception from outside its expanding domain. It is primarily targeted at economists interested in institutional aspects of exchanges and social theory. In addition, the topic will find interested readers from anthropology, cultural studies, science studies, philosophy.

Traumatized--at work!.......2004-08-26

Sorry...I just can't buy into Hare/Wyatt theory/conclusions that many, as shorn lost lambs to slaughter seem to have done.

True, Work abuse is sad, misunderstood major problem. However, I don't believe the Hare/Wyatt dynamic duo are the ones to be writing about such an issue. Clearly they wasted ill-spent government-sponsor funds.

Right there, government funds tells me this book is not to be trusted. Hare is not to be trusted, either. Based on his grubby other photo books; he's not with the times at all. His work is archaic to say the least.

He mentions nothing of the real work abuse issue--that of those in especially the African & Mid-East nations where real work abuse occurs--routinely and severely. Human rights are not discussed in this piece of fluff (content) that is so parched in verbiage it took me over a year to finish.

There needs to be more expert writers in the work abuse field. The Hare/Wyatt crew appoint themselves as THE "Work Abuse" experts. This self-serving bias makes the work all the more distrustful and again self-gratifying.

When I bought the book I saw the Webpage, too. I was gonna call them for an appointment because of my own abuse at work that happened to also be of a physical and sexual abuse situation. After I read some of these reviews, I too, am in agreement with conclusions such as the whole 99% work-places "sukk" and only the lucky few like Hare and Wyatt get to work solo.

I'd read the article, I think {?} that one of these had written in review. Too bad Hare in another form of abusiveness preys on the opressed--just like he harrangues about in "Work Abuse."

"Work Abuse" is a sub-standard tripe but I give it a two; just in case the Hare/Wyatt crack counselors are "for real." I truly have my doubts.

I definitely know that this book of the Hare/Wyatt crusade is not geared toward the worst abused of the world & of those out there in North America.

Seriously--this book is really only geared for as trauma shrinks nowadays call: "The Worried Well." Guess it is easier for the Hare/Wyatt super-experts (of work abuse, minor) to only counsel or "coach" the least abused, than to tackle the real problems of the secret they failed to discover while spending tax dollars with their "reseerch" on work abuse--that is those who are physically & sexually abused by brutal anti-social bosses.

Former work abused; Hare abused!!!.......2004-08-26

I read this book. I cannot put any stock into anything Hare writes or says is true. He admittedly lied about at least one of his case studies -- his reason was because his readers [publishers {$$$$}] wouldn't have believed the real version. Read something that really deals with abuse (including work abuse); read Judith Herman's "Trauma & Recovery" instead of this lame rhetoric.

Hare claims he & wifey Wyatt made no money off this novel yet I find it hard to believe considering he was so worried/anxious/scared of not getting this garbage published. Why write if you can't report the truth?

Hare, himself, was an abuser toward me. [He knows why, too.] Plus, he illegally through his pal Tim Field stole an article [a positive one, no less] I'd written--about Hare & his experience with work abuse victims. Now, I know he truly is not for those most abused--physically tortured, that is, true work abused victims.

Hare? He's just trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the working public, Hare says 99% of workers are in abusive work situations. Maybe true; yet Hare's solution for the 99% who depend on this book for some assistance with their plights of abuse [though he cares not at all for work abuse/physically tortured victimd--appalling!] is essentially "learn to deal with it", "make the boss look good" & by all means: "don't make the boss mad." And second either try to circumvent the boss in an attempt to make your work place in the 1% of good work environments--YEAH, like that can be done by a peon worker with antagonistic, bully bosses. And if all else fails? Hare's advise is to -- get this: FIND ANOTHER JOB or WORK FOR ONESELF. Yes, a whole nation of sole proprietorships. The great American solution for dealing with work abuse!! Since Hare works home-alone [maybe he could make a movie about that], & is one of the lucky few who can he's deluded enough with zen to think we all can. Then it would we anarchy and we'd all die!

WOW!!!! Is that all there is to solving the work abuse dilemma? I could saved myself $25 on this ream of fish-wrap.

After I told him my case, which involved physical torture, he acted empathic when I contacted his website. Then he led me to believe for over a year he was on my side in my attempt at recovery with a pathetic social worker who I finally had sanctioned for her own "medical abuse" of me.

Work Abuse Hidden better than spousal and/or child abuse.......2004-08-10

I am reading, for the second time, WORK ABUSE - HOW TO RECOGNIZE AND SURVIVE IT by Judith Wyatt and Chauncey Hare. Work abuse is a very unpopular subject and is at least equally as widespread as is spousal abuse and/or child abuse. It is the best hidden of any abuse inflicted by one person upon another. Work abuse replicates child abuse in that the abused is scapegoated, trapped and alone without help from either inside or outside the system. Work stress is simply a euphemism for "work abuse," that hampers job quality and production as well as cripples, disables, and destroys the quality of life for millions every day and has been rampant in our society for many years.
Work abuse disempowers, dehumanizes and destroys self-esteem through systematic denial that the abuse is happening. More often than not, work abuse affects an entire organization. Society as a whole tends to reinforce work abuse and place the blame on the traumatized victims. Human resource offices (another euphemism for personnel offices) seem likely places for victims to find support. Human resource departments strictly protect the organization.
Millions of people enter the workplace every Monday saying, "is it Friday yet;" on Friday, millions more say, "thank God it's Friday." Others frequently sigh and struggle just to get inside the buildings and refer to their situations as "burn-out" and "work stress," when realistically for most of those people, the true problem is an abusive work environment.
This book explains how and why work abuse happens. It offers an understandable plan for healing, and includes in-depth case studies, exercises, and worksheets to guide the reader. This book is a must read for everyone who is now employed, has been employed, or ever plans to be employed.

Once an interested reader; advocate of Chauncey's "work"..........2004-03-30

I was the victim of work abuse to the magnitude of it being actual physical "torture"--my trauma psychologist calls it...I looked all over the inernet/libraries etc to find a book that could help me relate to my experiences that led to my being emotionally disabled with PTSD and as a result of the abuse I am physically disabled now and am in a wheelchair due to the abuse to my spine & nerves to feet/legs.

I first found Chauncey's webpage & ordered the book. Though Chauncey himself & I often made contact regarding both of our work abuse experiences, after much time, Hare actually treated me much as the shunned "scapegoat" he discusses with much detail in his book.

I really couldn't connect with this book. Period. Though they used case study examples it was hard for me to empathize when none of the victims/survivors were mentioned in the book as having been physically abused; and yet Hare told me that one really had been physically abused but Hare & wife, Wyatt, chose to not mention these dtails of that one case because as Hare explained to me,"No one would believe" the worker could have been physicaly assaulted in the curent American "workplace." Excuse me?

What is the point of writing this kind of book, Hare, if you mislead the audience right away; just so people might "believe" your book? Mr. Hare?

If you can't write the truth; what's the point?

This was the worst book I have read in years....totally unauthentic, lame, tiring, uninspired...Hare should pay us to read his book.

A survivor's reaction to "Work Abuse".......1998-01-04

Wyatt and Hare are doing for work abuse what Anita Hill did for sexual abuse. After suffering four years of chronic scapegoating and three years of subsequent post-traumatic stress disorder, "Work Abuse" finally afforded me the luxury of crying from relief. Though my professional career is over now, I can take deep comfort in knowing that what happened to me was very real and very much denied by everyone concerned. Americans are indeed being brutalized in the workforce; we blame ourselves. But this abuse can be recognized and dealt with, thereby sparing careers, lives, families, and even the abusive institutions and organizations that traumatize us. We owe much gratitude to Judith Wyatt and Chauncey Hare for their profound introduction to the dialogue on this issue of work abuse. Let the healing begin.
