High-quality resource.......2007-07-12

I was impressed by the overall quality of this book. I wanted an easy-to-use resource book to identify the hundreds of insects I routinely see at my central Texas home, and that's what I got and more! The book was clearly organized with well written description of insects, and in center of book were 63 pages of beautiful, high-quality color photos of the 381 most common insects found in Texas. My only constructive suggestion would be that the "Life Cycle" commentary did not always provide the life expectancy of specific insects.

Very Helpful.......2006-04-29

This book is very helpful in identifying common Texas insects. Our children love to look up bugs in this book. The only bad thing is having to flip back and forth from the color pictures to the description of the insect. Otherwise, a good book.

A Field Guide to Texas Insects.......2000-05-05

I found this book to extremely useful for quick field identifications. The pictures are great, as is the accompying descriptive text. The book is well organized so looking up a particular insect is easy. Also the book not only describes various insects but also gives vital information about them, such as their life cycles, impact on man and the enviroment, where they can be found, and what they eat.

Needs revising.......2004-10-09

Informative...yes. Entertaining...kinda.
BUT, the author is heavily into chemical solutions. There is no mention of environmental consequences of pesicides, integrated pest management, or organic solutions. Many of the photos were too unfocused, poorly lit, or grainy to be of much use.
This book needs a major overhaul.

Perfect for the average house - entertaining & comprehensive.......1999-09-30

This book is perfect for Texas homeowners who want to identify, learn about and control bugs. The writing is entertaining and an amazing number of bugs are included. Loads of pictures.

VERY informative and funny too!.......1999-07-08

"Critters" is a delightful book and an invaluable resourse for gardeners, homeowners and anyone likely to come in contact with insects. It is beautifully illustrated, informative and a really good read, to boot!

Customer Reviews:

Book contains invasive weeds which should not be planted.......2000-05-18

I have not read this undoubtedly excellent book, but at least one of the shrubs in it is a serious invasive weed in the Northeast and Upper Midwest of the US. This plant is Lonicera tatarica. Other Loniceras--esp. L. japonica--are among the worst forest weeds in the southeast, and they are monopolizing habitat and killing native plants. There are so many wonderful horticultural plants available that is should not be necessary to plant ones that escape, invade, and degrade. Do not plant exotic honeysuckles such as L. tatarica that have a tendency to escape.

Book Description

Volume 1 of the landmark Flora of New South Wales, published with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney, was first published in 1990, and describes the naturally occurring and naturalized ferns, cycads, conifers, and some of the flowering plants of this state. This revised edition responds to wide-ranging revisions to taxonomy and the discovery or identification of new plant species--such as the "living fossil" Wollemi pine. It includes a 64-page insert that lists all the updates to the information within the book, including taxonomic changes, new species descriptions, new data about species, and changes to keys. The reference list, glossary, and index have all been revised.

Book Description

Wetlands are unique and fragile environments that provide a transition between aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Focusing on freshwater wetlands with emergent vegetation, this book considers productivity in relation to communities of animals and plants and their environments, mineral cycling, hydrology, and management. The contributors emphasize the biological interactions and processes underlying the structure and functioning of wetlands, revealing the need to appreciate the dynamics of the system to establish appropriate management and conservation practices. Based largely on research carried out during the International Biological Programme, this unique synthesis brings together a wealth of information, which until now had been widely dispersed in the literature and often difficult to locate. This comprehensive volume will be an important resource for all those concerned with the ecology, management and conservation of these sensitive natural habitats.

Book Description

Tetsuo Nozoe, while working in Formosa from 1926-1948, initiated the field of nonbenzenoid aromatic compounds. Nozoe describes the growth of Japanese science and academic institutions during the 20th century. Nozoe presents the "Majima organic chemistry tree" which illustrates Japanese academic connections starting with the early 20th century chemist-scholar Riko Majima. Also included are 79 photographs and many pages from Nozoe's autograph books which date back to the early 1950's.

Book Description

This book provides a comprehensive account of the state-of-the-art in predicting turbulent and transitional flows by some of the world's leaders in these fields. It can serve as a graduate-level textbook and, equally, as a reference book for research workers in industry or academia. It is structured in three parts: Physical and Numerical Techniques; Flow Types and Processes; and Future Directions. As the only broad account of the subject, it will prove indispensable for all working in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), whether academics interested in turbulent flows, industrial researchers in CFD interested in understanding the models embedded in their software (or seeking more powerful models) or graduate students needing an introduction to this vital area.

Download Description

Turbulence modelling is a critically important area in any industry dealing with fluid flow, having many implications for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes. It also retains a huge interest for applied mathematicians since there are many unsolved problems. This book provides a comprehensive account of the state-of-the-art in predicting turbulent and transitional flows by some of the world's leaders in these fields. It can serve as a graduate-level textbook and, equally, as a reference book for research workers in industry or academia. It is structured in three parts: Physical and Numerical Techniques; Flow Types and Processes; and Future Directions. As the only broad account of the subject, it will prove indispensable for all working in CFD, whether academics interested in turbulent flows, industrial researchers in CFD interested in understanding the models embedded in their software (or seeking more powerful models) or graduate students needing an introduction to this vital area.
