Handbook of Animal Radio-Tracking

An excellent resource!.......2003-03-14

Mech's book is an excellent resource when radio-tracking critters. I kept the book with me in the truck as I tracked down the endangered kit fox in California. The books gives a good overview of what telemetry is and a nice section on tracking from the air - which I used several times. Any radio-telemetry tracker needs this book in the glove box.

Book Description

Few countries are so dominated by a single geographical feature as the Land of the Lake. Lake Malawi follows the dramatic contours of the Great Rift Valley for a distance of 585km; it is up to 100km wide in parts, and it covers more than 15% of Malawi's surface area. Enclosed by sheer mountains and edged by seemingly endless palm-fringed sandy beaches, Lake Malawi is the most beautiful of Africa's great lakes, and the indisputable focal point of Malawi's tourist industry.

There is much truth in the phrase 'The Warm Heart of Africa'. Not only do the climate and lush vegetation of the lakeshore conform effortlessly to every stereotype image of tropical Africa, but the people of Malawi exude a warmth and friendliness that make most visitors feel instantly at home.

This guide includes up-to-date practical information, including transport, visas and accommodation, health and safety in detail, exploring on and around Lake Malawi, communicating in Chichewa and 32 fully revised computer-drawn maps and town plans.

Book Description

This book provides a uniform depth of coverage for all body systems, yet is still a brief. Emphasis is placed on essential fundamental concepts, applications and terminology without excessive detail. This book is known for its clarity of presentation and its outstanding illustration program. Innovative pedagogical elements and a tightly integrated supplements package make this new edition an excellent choice for a brief Anatomy and Physiology introduction. All body systems and organs are discussed. For college instructors, students and readers in allied health, biology, and physical education.

'A supreme example of literary bravado'.......2003-02-09

The introduction claims this is an extraordinary book and it surely is. It does bare some resemblance to 'The Life and Opinions of Tristam Shandy' but is markedly more inventive, more engaging. Partly it is because it is two stories entwined but also disengaged. And each is of great complexity - the one being a truly captivating mystery but one that progresses ever so slowly, almost catching me unawares and making me wonder - for a while - if this wasn't the first detective story, and the other being the musings of the character of the title - Tomcat Murr. Yes, a cat actually writes the story! By the end of the novel - and it was a long and slow read for me - every character was someone I felt totally at sympathy with (which is not something I could say for the characters in Tristam Shandy). ...

I found this novel a long, hard read - the ideas and interrelationships are dense. But by the end of it I loved all the characters, they are part of my family. It is no wonder that Hoffmann had such a great impact in the world of music - his writing can get right under your skin - well, it certainly got under mine. I will read this novel again. It is simply so good, so captivating...

A Masterpiece.......2002-12-20

A remarkable example of the simply astoundig gifts of Hoffmann's writing, one of the few unquestionable genius in literature's history. E.T.A Hoffmann manages to blend, with overpowering skill and boldness, fantasy, wittiness, irony, sharp political criticism and lyricism, giving to the cultivated reader an endless cornucopia of sophisticated, intelligent gladness.

The first Post-Modern novel?.......2001-10-09

Hoffmann was one of the most influential writers of the early 19th cventury. A composer and critic as well as writer of often bizarre fiction, Hoffmann set the tone for much of Romantic literature (especially the combination of the bourgeois and the supernatural), and provided the plots for operas and ballets (including Offenbach's Tales of Hoffmann and Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker). This novel, which intersperses the memoirs of a cat (appropriately named Murr) with the "random pieces of wastepaper" the cat shredded out of a biography of the composer Kreisler (Hoffmann's alter ego?). In the late 20th century, we came to take the idea of intercutting two unrelated narratives for granted as a Post-modern breakdown of narrative authority. Yet here is the same device, in 1820! Just when you're emotionally invested in one story, it abruptly shifts back to the other. Moreover, Murr's "cat's eye view" of human interaction turns the entire book into a sly critique of the declining aristocrats and rising bourgeois of Europe at the time. A brilliant, compelling, often hilarious read. You'll understand why Schumann, Brahms, and so many others thought of Hoffmann as their favorite writer.

Great, weird book by German romantic master.......2001-02-01

I learned about ETA Hoffman by reading some articles he had written on Mozart and Beethoven (the A in is name is for Amadeus, he idolized Mozart). Little did I know that he he was a brilliant and captivating writer of fiction as well. Although markedly less frightening than many of his short stories (such as the Sandman), this book is nevertheless exciting as well as thought provoking (Hoffman makes about 400 references to the literature and music of the his time and before). Additionally, it an example of literary bravado I have not seen elsewhere, namely, the writing of two books in one. In it, a bourgeois 'genius' of a tomcat (murr), creates a wonderful palimpset by writing on shreds of the biography of brooding romantic composer Johannes Kriesler. As such, interspersed betwee the cat's opinions are excepts of the rather odd story of Krieler and his friends, such as the magician Master Abraham. Each time either of the two stories begins building to a climax, Hoffman pulls the rug out from under you and changes narratives. The only fault I find with the book is that it is unfinished (Hoffman wanted to publish a third volume which would tie up loose ends), it even ends mid-sentence. Regardless, this is a wonderful book, and I would recommend it to just about anyone.

A great book for lovers of Romantic eccentricity.......2000-02-01

This book, as the cover states, is probably one of the strangest novels of the 19th century. It is actually two books: the autobiography of the very self-important tomcat Murr which is in turn written on random back sides of a biography of Hoffmann's alter ego, the Kapellmeister Kreisler (see his Kreisleriana). Hoffmann is a master of building up your interest and sympathy in one storyline and then abruptly turning to the other, leaving you hanging and wanting more. The book is very entertaining and the translation is great, with very helpful notes at the end (there are many quotes in the book which were well known at the time, but these days...). I highly recommend this book to any one who is interested in early romanticism, fantastic flights of imagination and biting satire. The only possible problem with this work is that it is unfinished and the end of the second of three projected books does leave you hanging somewhat.
