I loved this book.......2007-05-10

Small Scale LivestockFarming:... is a simple easy to read text containing a broad overview of many more topics with more depth than expected and providing numerous references for areas which the text is not indepth enough for your needs. This book had to be the best money spent on a starting source for related knowledge. It is highly recomended to anyone intested in this subject.

lots of frosting very little cake. .......2007-04-18

I was put off by the author so I had a difficult time finishing this book.

The section on biology was nothing more than an eighth grade biology course and really unnecessary.

It appears that information that would be easily gleaned from other sources was abundant but firsthand knowledge was seriously lacking.

I didn't like her double standards. She advises readers to "Feel free to mark up" (page 116). She prices her meat to rural buyers slightly higher than the local butcher but she would have raised her prices even higher if she had lived closer to urban buyers. I can understand pricing higher if you have to drive farther to get to the city but that's not the advice. Then, in a story on fighting a factory farm on pages 124 & 125 she dubs a local man "Joe Greed". According to the story he sued because he had planned to sell his land to the factory farm envisioning lots of dollars in his pockets but with the new zoning laws he wasn't able to. If he's Joe Greed then she's "Carol Greed" for wanting urbanites to pay more simply because they live in the city. I don't agree with either of them.

I wonder if she's taken to writing books on farming intended to sell to city folks who only dream of country living and will never know her advice is of little help.

It was the little things that made this book bothersome such as her advice to have a silage pile but according to the author a farmer needs lots of specialized equipment for this. In the book The Self-Sufficient Life and How to Live It Seymour describes how to harvest by hand. For those modern small scale farms an electric weed whacker makes it a little easier. Cut it, turn it, stack it right in the fields and cover it with a tarp, voila, a silage pile. Fence it in order to control feeding and your done, nothing special needed.

One other point that I found difficult was her statement that she followed all the guidelines to be organic but wasn't certified, but mostly she advises to call a vet. I would have excepted that advice if the author would have included some information on how to get the vet to help without the use of antibiotics. According to the author antibiotics negate an organic animal standing and it must be sold as conventional. She gives 3 or 4 treatments for ailing animals and acknowledges successes with alternative treatments even names a few but that's it. I would expect someone that was farming organically to have a wealth of knowledge and include it when writing on the subject.

Excellent Resource.......2003-10-22

My brother gave this book to me for my birthday, and it has been great. We are new to farming, and it has helped us determine how to move forward, and to plan for our operation. We're retired, but we need this to pay some income, and that is what this book is all about, making money, but doing it so you don't screw up the land. The author has lots of excellent advice not only on caring for your animals, but also on direct marketing to get a bigger share of the consumer's dollar. She writes with a down to earth style that I really appreciate.

Is This High School Biology???.......2003-08-02

I was looking for a substantial book about small-scale livestock farming, and instead I was treated to a very basic introduction to agriculture. This book would make a great high school agriculture text, but beyond that it falls short of providing any real, useful, institutional knowledge that I was looking for. For example, in the book the author reviews basic high biology concepts such as the water cycle, the food chain, and the energy pyramid. She also reminds readers how to round up or round down. And if that were not insulting enough, she then informs readers that to be a successful farmer, you must dress like a farmer; "clean bib overalls and a straw hat, or a plaid shirt, jeans, and a cowboy hat." Give me a break. Again, if you want a simplistic, new age, farming book of little practical use by an author who has less than a decade of farming experience, this book is for you. If you want a no-frills, no-fluff, useful, dirt under your nails, John Deere farmer kind of a book, I would look elsewhere and I would suggest Gene Logsdon's The Contrary Farmer.

Inspiring ............2003-05-30

I got this book only a few months ago and I must say it has been a wealth of information. I learned about toxic plants, diseases, grazing management, budgeting your opperation effiecently, and also info on different feeding scales of species. Not to mention everything on this book but it has been an eye opening experience to learn from this knowledge and then apply it to my life.

Book Description

This volume is the first book to provide a practical introduction to the synthesis of macrocyclic compounds, which can be tailored to function as selective receptors for ions and neutral molecules. It contains a wealth of detailed information that is targeted not only towards those engaged in synthesis in universities amd industry, but also at the non-specialist and the newcomer to the topic. Many of the protocols are suitable for inclusion in undergraduate practical classes. The initial chapters give full details of the synthesis of nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur containing macrocycles (eg benzo- and chiral crown ethers, cryptands and torands). Subsequent chapters give excellent coverage of the synthesis and elaboration of calixarenes, spherands, hemi-spherands and calix-spherands, and the final chapter lucidly explains the metal templated synthesis of catenanes. It is an essential text for those engaged in the synthesis of macrocyclic compounds and a perfect companion for the non-specialist keen to explore the chemistry of these exciting molecules.

Book Description

This book is an alternative and highly engaging introduction to the highlights of a typical undergraduate mathematics course. Building on very simple principles, it develops these mathematical highlights, known to every well-rounded mathematician, in an intuitive and entertaining way. The aim of the book is to motivate and inspire the reader to discover and understand some of these truly amazing mathematical structures and ideas which are frequently not fully grasped, pass unnoticed or simply swamped in an undergraduate mathematics course. For the experienced mathematician the book offers refreshing, often enlightening, hindsight. For the novice it is an exciting intellectual journey.

Good Idea for a Book, but Rife with Errors.......2006-05-26

There are relatively few books on mathematics and theoretical physics that are decidedly user-friendly. Fewer still endeavor to approach their subject from a perspective significantly different from the standard textbook approach. I was therefore eager to examine Hewson's A Mathematical Bridge, with its promise of an "intuitive journey," to see whether it could offer some fresh insights on material I already knew and perhaps shine some light on some less familiar material. I even decided to take notes while going through the book to record any ideas that the material might evoke. Sadly, my notes up to this point are largely made up of the book's errata. As a previous reviewer mentioned, some of it is simply typographical (and that does not excuse the book's editors from their oversight), though the errors that glare to the mathematically trained could serve to confuse the less prepared reader. There are also numerous errors of English that I find particularly troublesome for a book that should have been adequately proofread. Far more troublesome, however, are what appear to be errors of notation, algebraic errors, and a few faulty mathematical arguments. There are also a few other things in the book that disagree with other sources (one example being the 2x2 matrix definition of quaternions, which switches around the matrix representations of i, j, and k relative to the order presented by Arfken). Just within the book's first 80 pages, I have compiled a list of errors spanning five handwritten pages, not a very promising sign. It is a shame, since I believe the layout of the book and the plan of the covered material are both very sound. Especially considering the book's expense, I cannot recommend it to the lay reader, and I think the mathematician will only tire of its faults. I can only hope that a future edition will address and correct the errors present in this volume. For now, it is merely a book of unrealized potential, but one worthy of being given another chance.

An excellent and unusual book.......2004-06-01

This is a really unusual math book. The author attempts -- and, in my opinion, by and large, succeeds in -- the task of presenting pretty much most of the core elements of an undergrad math course in a descriptive and intuitive way -- he starts from counting and ends up with quantum mechanics!! This book differs from most math books by focusing foremost on the reasons why different mathematical structures exist, with the formalism following afterwards, by which time it is often quite obvious.

This book would not replace standard proof -- theorem style textbooks but supplements them very nicely by providing loads of insight and intuition -- things which usually can only be determined over time by practice. As such I'd recommend it to anyone who requires a substantial math element in their degree, and I wish that I had had a copy before I started analysis etc. at college.

One point to note is that although the text is often almost conversational, the book is really crammed with information and insights -- to read it properly requires a lot of hard work and thought. If you are just after a read about math without needing or wanting to know the details, then I would recommend that you look elsewhere.

Good overall, but too many small errors/typos.......2004-04-02

I have not yet finished this book, but I am quite pleased with it overall. However, the author makes a number of what seem to be typos, which the editor seems to have failed to catch--mostly in the mathematical equations which show up every now and then. For example, at one point he writes R (the set of real numbers) rather than N (the set of natural numbers)--there is really quite a large difference, and the N and R keys aren't particularly close to each other on the keyboard, either. At other times he mysteriously drops terms from equations with no explanations, which seem more like typos.

If you are a mathematical "layman," so to speak, or things like this bother you a lot, I might suggest you look for another book, to avoid confusion on the layman's part or annoyance on the part of the more knowledgable reader.

Book Description

Between 1856 and 1878, Robert A. Harrison kept a diary. Harrison, a Toronto lawyer often described as the outstanding common law lawyer of his generation, was Chief Justice of Ontario during that time and his diary is one of the most remarkable documents bequeathed to us by the nineteenth century. In it, Harrison provides detailed and intimate accounts of life and love among Toronto's upper crust, accounts that resound with ambition, passion, jealousy and rage as his life proceeds through courtships, marriages, deaths and all the throes and challenges of routine existence among the privileged classes. Not least important are behind-the-scenes insights into scores of courtroom battles fought before judges sometimes described as ignorant and thick-headed and juries who frequently succumbed to Victorian prejudices of race, gender bias, and religion.

Although unusual in his driving ambitions and his consuming need to accumulate a fortune, Harrison remained in most respects thoroughly conventional and Victorian, and his diary offers unrivalled insights into the voice of the mid-nineteenth century Toronto male: confident, conventional, and smug. Harrison is forthright in his opinions on love, courtship, marriage, sexuality, medical practice, death, drinking habits, class, servants, technology, opera, and theatre in the city. In an extended biographical introduction, Peter Oliver provides an explanation and a critical assessment of Harrison's life and career which further illuminates one man's extraordinary record of an era.
