Book Description

The first edition of this book, popular around the world, is surpassed only by this new Second Edition. Improvements such as new and revised exercises, a broad range of practical and relevant case studies, and expanded theoretical concepts make this even better for users of statistics. The book emphasizes the practical application of statistics and provides examples in various fields of environmental and agriculture sciences. Because it uses simple, non-mathematical language to present statistical techniques, the reader requires only a familiarity with elementary algebra and mathematical notations to understand and apply the concepts described. This logically organized book covers the following topics: Part 1 introduces statistical concepts as they apply to different fields of environmental and agriculture sciences and provides descriptive measures of central tendency and variability; Part 2 covers probability and sampling concepts used in inferential statistics; Part 3 presents parametric methods in hypothesis testing, which include research designs; Part 4 discusses a number of nonparametric techniques; Part 5 explains tests of association and prediction; and lastly, analysis of change over time is detailed in Part 6. The appendices contain statistical tables for reference purposes.

Robert Torrance, a literary scholar, gathers nature writing from all times and locales, ranging from the creation stories of Native American people to the lyrics of the Chinese T'ang dynasty poet Li Bai, from the letters of the ancient Roman poet Epicurus to the travel memoirs of the colonial American naturalist William Bartram. Torrance accompanies each selection with a headnote addressing such matters as the natural-symbolic representation of love in the Song of Solomon and the asceticism of the ancient Japanese poet Betsugen Enshi. The result is a literary reference work of the first order, one that should become a standard textbook for many years to come. --Gregory McNamee

Book Description

Encompassing Nature is the first anthology of nature writing to include representative works from the world's myriad cultures

Since ancient times, human cultures have invented literary forms and traditions to express the mysteries and delights of living on earth. Charting the history of these forms, Encompassing Nature reveals that nature writing as a literary genre predates the nineteenth- century influences we associate with Wordsworth and Thoreau.

Encompassing Nature begins with the myths and songs of ancient civilizations. It concludes with writers in the Western tradition, such as Gilbert White, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and William Bartram-the historical moment where other anthologies of nature writing only begin. With broad vision and intellectual scope, Robert Torrance assembles a wealth of texts in an encyclopedic anthology that will stand both as an authoritative reference work and as an illuminating book of sheer joy.

This is THE benchmark anthology of Nature Writing.......1998-05-27

Unlike most of the titles one would find listed in the ever-growing "Nature Writing" sections of our bookstores, this one is truly 'foundational'--it begins with childrens's stories, includes selections from the very best of the anthropological literature, ranges from Mesopotamia to India, Japan to China, & then offers the most inclusive represtentative selection of writings (religious, epic, scientific, poetic) from the West, beginning with the ancient Greeks and ending in the early 18th century. Many of the translations are new and quite stunning (see especially the Petrarch and Dante), the historical introductions and commentaries are models of concision, and the volume is graced by the most complete and detailed index imaginable. This is a book that will reset the ways in which people think about "Nature Writing" for decades to come.

Customer Reviews:

A very poor guide!.......2004-02-03

The name is VERY misleading. There is very little in it about Canada and only those resorts that are AANR members get listings. There are no nude beaches listed. Should be called The AANR Club Guide. A waste of money.

If this is what you are in to..........2002-08-28

This book is only for those interested in organized, family- oriented, recreational naturism in campgrounds and resorts around the U.S. If you are looking for any information on beaches or other areas to go naked, this is NOT the book for you! What little information about nude beaches that is included is woefully inadequate, so don't be fooled by the cover!

Need more info.......2001-10-11

Not really detailed enough to help -- several web sights that give you this much or more info on these places -- and they are FREE -- but if you want something to travel with (as I did) -- then by all means -- take it along -- just call ahead to be sure things have not changed too much --

good guide to have, needs just a little more information........2001-01-01

I've got the 20th edition, haven't used it yet but it seems reasonably thorough. For your money you get a travel guide that covers just about everything briefly without being too wordy. You do not get a picture book although there are some, generally small, photographs not of the pornographic sort of people and of some of the sites. I do wish that they did a better job of telling which resorts and clubs admit singles. At least you get websites, email and mail addresses and phone numbers to contact each location.

excellent starting point for nude recreation.......1999-12-12

The American Association of Nude Recreation (AANR) is a well established organization for clothing free/optional recreation, and one of the jewels in the AANR crown is this book.

The book thoroughly outlines each club in the US and Canada. Items such as addresses, phone numbers, and amenities of each club are meticulously detailed. So, if you're looking for a camp with a heated pool, tennis courts, sauna or snack bar, you'll easily find it herewithin.

Like many naturist/nudist publications, the book starts off with a brief intro about naturist/nudist lifestyles and why anyone would enjoy or consider a nude vacation. It is NOT a book outlining the social/political or health reasons for going nude, nor are the pictures within titillating or erotic (just like nude resorts-my favorite quote: "one nude draped on a divan is erotic; 100 nudes in line for potato salad are NOT"). It is an extremely detailed and well-researched guide to clothing free recreational areas; oh that TEXTILE CAMP GUIDES should be this thorough!

While no beaches are highlighted in this book (there is a WORLD guide for that), it is a perfect starting point for anyone considering a nude vacation.
