Reese covers every facet of safety and health management with real-world examples and strategies. He provides succinct yet thorough coverage of important and timely concepts and practices commonly used in the safety field. More than just a text filled with information, this is a true how-to book.

Book Description

Developed and used by attorneys at the prominent law firms of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP and Hale and Dorr LLP, this expert, interactive software system allows practitioners to dramatically reduce costs and improve efficiency. Kluwer Global Law Practice Systems enables the user to quickly generate draft international agreements via an interactive computer dialogue. Once the user answers the questions prompted by the software, the computer automatically creates a draft contract tailored to the information provided. As the user enters the information, warnings pop up on screen if any aspect seems unusual or contrary to local advice and laws. The wide range of possible contracts includes + licensing, + distribution, + commercial agency, + value-added reseller, and + sale of goods. This software offers two major benefits: (1) Cost reductions: This system eliminates the need to use local firms in foreign jurisdictions at the initial drafting stage. The contracts created by this system provide the local counsel memoranda and precautionary notes for every country covered. They are also updated. This enables users to ask the right questions of local counsel to limit the costs associated with over-extensive reliance on outside advice. (2) Increased efficiency: This system produces an initial draft more quickly than starting from scratch, working from a form book, or cutting and pasting forms from past deals. It also removes the risk inherent in these other methods that the contract used as a template is flawed, inappropriate, or outdated. It standardises contracts so that contracts associated with a company become consistent. Finally, it allows more junior practitioners to produce the first draft of a contract and to do so without extensive supervision, thereby freeing senior personnel to focus on more complex matters. Other potential benefits include: employee education, development of a better electronic infrastructure, and improved staff confidence. The face of the legal practice is changing. The increased focus on bottom line means cost reductions and efficiency are more important than ever. In this vein, Kluwer Global Law Practice Systems represents the wave of the future.

Book Description

Melanism: Evolution in Action describes investigations into a ubiquitous biological phenomenon, the existence of dark, or melanic, forms of many species of mammals, insects, and some plants. Melanism is a particularly exciting phenomenon in terms of our understanding of evolution. Unlike many other polymorphisms, the rise of a melanic population within a species is a visible alteration. Not only this, but melanism may sometimes occur dramatically quickly compared to other evolutionary change. Examples of melanism include one of the most famous illustrations of Darwinian natural selection, the peppered moth. This book, the first written on melanism since 1973, gives a lucid and up-to-date appraisal of the subject. The book is divided into ten chapters. The first four chapters place melanism into its historical and scientific context, with illustrations of its occurrence, and physical and genetic properties. Chapters 5-9 look in more detail at melanism in moths and ladybirds, explaining the diversity of evolutionary reasons for melanism, and the complexities underlying this apparently simple phenomenon. The final chapter shows how the study of melanism has contibuted to our understanding of biological evolution as a whole. Written in an engaging and readable style, by an author whose enthusiasm and depth of knowledge is apparent throughout, this book will be welcomed by all students and researchers in the fields of evolution, ecology, entomology, and genetics. It will also be of relevance to professional and amateur entomologists and lepidopterists alike.

Clear and informative.......2001-09-17

Having read this book You are fully updated on the melanism phenomenom. It gives a very detailed and refreshing critical orientation on melanism among butterflies and especially the critical review on the classical peppered moth story is very interesting and informative for both laymen and scientists. And in addition a chapter on what is known about melanism among ladybirds is included giving the most comprehensive information available to day. After reading it You know a lot more about evolution in action just outside Your door!

Book Description

In her enthralling novels of literary suspense, Carol Goodman writes stories that resonate with emotion set in lush landscapes that entice the senses. Now, with The Ghost Orchid, a narrative that seamlessly weaves together the past and the present, Goodman creates her most lyrical and haunting work to date.

For more than one hundred years, creative souls have traveled to Upstate New York to work under the captivating spell of the Bosco estate. Cradled in silence, inspired by the rough beauty of overgrown gardens and crumbling statuary, these chosen few fashion masterworks–and have cemented Bosco’s reputation as a premier artists’ colony. This season, five talented artists-in-residence find themselves drawn to the history of Bosco, from the extensive network of fountains that were once its centerpiece but have long since run dry to the story of its enigmatic founder, Aurora Latham, and the series of tragic events that occurred more than a century ago.

Ellis Brooks, a first-time novelist, has come to Bosco to write a book based on Aurora and the infamous summer of 1893, when wealthy, powerful Milo Latham brought the notorious medium Corinth Blackwell to the estate to help his wife contact three of the couple’s children, lost the winter before in a diphtheria epidemic. But when a séance turned deadly, Corinth and her alleged accomplice, Tom Quinn, disappeared, taking with them the Lathams’ only surviving child.

The more time she spends at Bosco, the more Ellis becomes convinced that there is an even darker, more sinister end to the story. And she’s not alone: biographer Bethesda Graham uncovers stunning revelations about Milo and Corinth; landscape architect David Fox discovers a series of hidden tunnels underneath the gardens; poet Zalman Bronsky hears the long-dry fountain’s waters beckoning him; and novelist Nat Loomis feels something lingering just out of reach.

After a bizarre series of accidents befalls them, the group cannot deny the connections between the long ago and now, the living and the dead . . . as Ellis realizes that the tangled truth may ensnare them all in its cool embrace.

Chapter One

I came to Bosco for the quiet.

That’s what it’s famous for.

The silence reigns each day between the hours of nine and five by order of a hundred-year-old decree made by a woman who lies dead beneath the rosebushes—a silence guarded by four hundred acres of wind sifting through white pines with a sound like a mother saying hush. The silence stretches into the still, warm afternoon until it melts into the darkest part of the garden where spiders spin their tunnel-shaped webs in the box-hedge maze. Just before dusk the wind, released from the pines, blows into the dry pipes of the marble fountain, swirls into the grotto, and creeps up the hill, into the gap- ing mouths of the satyrs, caressing the breasts of the sphinxes, snaking up the central fountain allée, and onto the terrace, where it exhales its resin- and copper-tinged breath onto the glasses and crystal decanters laid out on the balustrade.

Even when we come down to drinks on the terrace there’s always a moment, while the ice settles in the silver bowls and we brush the yellow pine needles off the rattan chairs, when it seems the silence will never be broken. When it seems that the silence might continue to accumulate—like the golden pine needles that pad the paths through the box-hedge maze and the crumbling marble steps and choke the mouths of the satyrs and fill the pipes of the fountain— and finally be too deep to disturb.

Then someone laughs and clinks his glass against another’s, and says . . .

“Cheers. Here’s to Aurora Latham and Bosco.”

“Here, here,” we all chime into the evening, sending the echoes of our voices rolling down the terraced lawn like brightly colored croquet balls from some long-ago lawn party.

“God, I’ve never gotten so much work done,” Bethesda Graham says, as if testing the air’s capacity to hold a longer sentence or two.

We all look at her with envy. Or maybe it’s only me, not only because I didn’t get any work done today, but because everything about Bethesda bespeaks confidence, from her slim elegant biographies and barbed critical reviews to her sleek cap of shiny black hair with bangs that just graze her perfectly arched eyebrows—which are arched now at Nat Loomis, as if the two of them were sharing some secret, unspoken joke—and set off her milk-white skin and delicate bone structure. Even Bethesda’s size—she can’t be more than four nine—is intimidating, as if everything superfluous had been refined down to its essential core. Or maybe it’s just that at five nine I loom over her and my hair, unmanageable at the best of times, has been steadily swelling in the moist Bosco air and acquired red highlights from the copper pipes. I feel like an angry Valkyrie next to her.

“Magic,” says Zalman Bronsky, the poet, sipping his Campari and soda. “A dream. Perfection.” He releases his words as if they were birds he’s been cupping in his hands throughout the day.

“I got shit-all done,” complains Nat Loomis, the novelist. The famous novelist. I’d had to stop myself from gasping aloud when I recognized him on my first day at Bosco—and who wouldn’t recognize that profile, the jawline only slightly weaker than his jacket photos suggest, the trademark square glasses, the hazel eyes that morph from blue to green depending (he once said in an interview) on his mood, the tousled hair and sardonic grin. Along with the rest of the world (or at least the world of MFA writing programs and bookish Manhattan), I had read his first novel ten years ago and fallen in love—with it, with its young, tough, but vulnerable protagonist, and with the author himself. And along wi

Excellent! .......2007-08-30

I loved this book. The details and plot really drew me in. I am fascinated with Victorian era and I could tell that this book was very well researched. Great for people who love gothic mysteries. Wonderful read, couldn't put it down!! Would also make an excellent movie, I am waiting for it!

Worth reading, but not worthy of her talent.......2007-08-08

Goodman isn't as good as she could be, again. As always, she writes beatifully and creates a wonderful situation, but the resolution is sitcom-predictable and thus undermines the rest of the book. I wish that Goodman would develop the courage to let her ideas unfold: she pulls herself up short again and again.

A light summer read shouldn't be this hard!.......2007-06-26

I picked this book up in the bookstore because I was drawn to the cover design.I had never read any of Carol Goodman's books before. I wanted a quick enjoyable summer read! If I put this book down for a few days, I had to think too much to figure out where I was at in the story when I picked it back up. I found her writing technique a tad cumbersome. The book was OK, but it will not go on my great books list.

A fun and fast read.......2007-06-11

I have read all of Ms. Goodman's novels so far, and she never disappoints. I enjoy reading a mix of nonfiction (particularly history) and novels, and I just finished reading a very intense, 750-page historical biography so I wanted something rather lighter and easy to enjoy. THE GHOST ORCHID totally fit the bill. I read it in less than a day, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Ms. Goodman's stories always have a compelling mystery, in this case a ghost story, with likable and relatable characters. She also weaves in interesting cultural themes, in this case Italian garden design and Native American mythology. (Trust me, though it sounds random, the combo works.) Plus, as someone who grew up in Upstate New York, I always appreciate her small town NY settings, too!

Mystery,history and romance all rolled into one!!!.......2007-05-29

I thoroughly enjoyed this combination mystery, historical fiction and romance novel all rolled into one. I loved the vivid descriptions of the crumbling Bosco estate with it's own beauty of overgrown gardens and crumbling statues. The ill-fated séance was an interesting twist. I did however have a bit of trouble at times with the rambling plot. I always enjoy novels set in the late 1800's to early 1900's and this was a good one.

I would recommend this book to my friends and am going to read The Lake of Dead Languages, which has been on my list for some time now.

I would rate this book 4 out of 5 for great writing and interesting plot
