The Historic Cumberland Plateau: An Explorer's Guide (Outdoor Tennessee Series)

Customer Reviews:

The Historic Cumberland Plateau - a great book!.......2000-10-17

I first found this book at my local library, and checked it out for the maximum renewal times just to absorb all the great details of the Cumberland Plateau. Now after buying my own copy I am wearing it out! The depth that Russ goes into and the wonderful insights into not only history, but hiking, camping, canoeing, and other outdoor activites make this book a must for any outdoor adventurer. The information he provided in this revised/updated version was very helpful in planning one of many vacations I will take in the Cumberland Plateau area in the future! Highly recommended!

Book Description

What better way could there be to discover California's abundance of attractions than by driving through the state? Frommer's California's Best-Loved Driving Tours is packed with twenty-five tours that reveal the heart of California's many diverse locales. Starting off with three tours in and near the Los Angeles area, you are encouraged to drive L.A.'s infamous freeways to get a taste of the place where locals spend a good percentage of their lives. Tour 2 takes you to the festive carnival that is Venice Beach, with stops to gawk at the bodybuilders on Muscle Beach, watch street performers, and farther on, explore the quiet canal area that Venice takes its name from. Another Los Angeles-area tour takes you on the ìRim of the World Highwayî which wanders through the woods of the San Bernadino mountains, revealing sweeping views of the land below.

The authors have selected four tours of the Southwest area that are packed with history and natural beauty. In the old gold strike town of Julien, you are encouraged to stop for a pie made with apples from the local orchard. Moving to the West, three drives showcase the splendor of the deserts in this area. Cross the desolate and stunning Mojave desert before dropping into sweeping Death Valley, and then continuing up to the White Mountains to see the bristlecone pines, the world's oldest living trees. Up in Northern California, the authors have put together a breathtaking driving tour of Yosemite National Park, as well as a varied tour of the San Francisco Bay Area's most exciting sites.

Book Description

It is estimated that 80 to 90% of drugs under development never make it to the marketplace due to insufficient clinical activity, unacceptable toxicity, rapid appearance of drug resistance, or other factors that should be, at least partially, predictable from preclinical testing. This new text asks the question, "How can we use computational methods to improve the success rate in drug development?" Computer Techniques in Preclinical and Clinical Drug Development shows how modeling makes it possible to extract the maximum amount of information and predictive value from preclinical data. Computer modeling methods from the areas of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, cytokinetics, and inhibition kinetics of multi-enzyme pathways are all discussed in this unique reference source.

Book Description

This concisely written book is a rigorous and self-contained introduction to the theory of continuous-time stochastic processes. A balance of theory and applications, the work features concrete examples of modeling real-world problems from biology, medicine, industrial applications, finance, and insurance using stochastic methods. No previous knowledge of stochastic processes is required.

Key topics covered include:

* Interacting particles and agent-based models: from polymers to ants

* Population dynamics: from birth and death processes to epidemics

* Financial market models: the non-arbitrage principle

* Contingent claim valuation models: the risk-neutral valuation theory

* Risk analysis in insurance

An Introduction to Continuous-Time Stochastic Processes will be of interest to a broad audience of students, pure and applied mathematicians, and researchers or practitioners in mathematical finance, biomathematics, biotechnology, and engineering. Suitable as a textbook for graduate or advanced undergraduate courses, the work may also be used for self-study or as a reference. Prerequisites include knowledge of calculus and some analysis; exposure to probability would be helpful but not required since the necessary fundamentals of measure and integration are provided.

Truly, a life Changer.......2001-05-05

I read this play years ago and liked it... But, it was not until I was diagnosed with Lupus and Epilepsy that I truly fell in love with the words contained within the play. Life is precious and sometimes short... As quoted from the play " Your whole life goes by---it feels like it was only a minute. You try to remember what it was you believed in. What was so important...you want to make a difference."

Well, I can guarantee that if you or a loved on is suffering from anything ranging from Cancer to a lost spirit, this play will change your way of thinking about every day life. Don't just take it as a play... Take it as advice you NEED to live by.

One of the sadest plays.......2000-03-28

This is a short play written so well. It is all about three different families in a special care centre for people with cancer. They are all describing how the feel and what they are going through. This is so sad because it makes you wonder why we are alive and how we take advantage of everyday life!

memoirs from a unique brotha.......2002-02-24

not merely a statement on being a black man in america, but on being a man period. ellison is not a militant negro nor is he a white man's negro. he is a free spirit who keeps his mind open to art , music, and life. i loved all the essays. he had cosmopolitan background growing up in oklahoma city, the product of middle-class parents. he read all types of literature, not just one kind and became a writer, simply by accident. his true love was his music. the middle third of this book proves this is the essays he wrote about jazz and opera, especially his loving tributes to milton's playhouse and charlie parker. he was a true renaissance man, who never lost the common touch. conquering any challenge that came his way...

First Class Act: Shadow of a Giant Mistaken for Invisible.......2002-02-22

Ralph Ellison, the musician and the author of the extrememly well-conceieved and paced novel "Invisible Man" (a rare instance wherein the plotting falls perfectly in sync with the decsriptive; falling, as with the eloquence and precision of the inernal mechanics into the ornate casing of a timepiece; a statement as much as a parody concering perceptions), here provides many surprises, all attesting to the immensity of his talents and array of his interests: There are articles on Jazz, BeBop, and some of best first-hand renderings upon the scene as it had developed at a period between literal non-accepatnce to a greater receptability; Eliot, as in the author's pechant and interest for the motifs, messages and stylistic of "The Wasteland"; Faulkner and the South; Historic American literary recurrances involving language, rythmic and individual, and some very valuable and erudite selections whose range -both autobiographic and literary- are as indispensable as they are of true merit and eloquence. This edition (and it is a shame there had not been more!), legitimizes the talents and perspectives of a gifted author whose legacy -although saddly never fully realized- shall always stand above any field of the discordant (as in the Wasteland), ringing more true than any pause between a jazz riff's sometimes-disquieting
strains.

Acts and Shadows
Philip K. Jason
Manufacturer: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc.
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Textbook Binding

Book Description

The imaginative literature of the Vietnam War participates-both overtly and covertly-in a struggle for national memory. First-generation Vietnam War literature, focusing on representations of combat and life in the battlefield, strove to give testimony, to write history. Later writings, in their range of genre and style, investigate and interrogate the very meaning of war. To reflect these two stages, Philip Jason divides his newest book of literary criticism into two sections: acts and shadows. In Acts, Jason provides formal and cultural readings of combat narratives-by such authors as James Webb, Larry Heinemann, and Joe Haldeman-and explores the meaning of authenticity as applied to Vietnam War texts. Shadows looks both forward and backward from the combat zone, challenging the parameters of what we define as Vietnam War literature.
