Online presentation hides mistakes........2005-05-07

Students that use this textbook along with their online college course should be aware that the online material has many mistakes and shouldn't be relied on to pass the course. Also some pages provided online is not printed in the textbook. You have to have the online "campuscompass" to complete the course. Some of the support pretest don't provide answers - so you don't know if you understand the material. Very shallow college material.

Book Description

Tropical and subtropical fruits, an increasingly important food source where they are grown, are becoming a valuable export, particularly to North America and Europe. However, transporting the fruit to temperate zones can be difficult, while postharvest losses in the tropics themselves can be considerable. This book is the first comprehensive volume on postharvest tropical and subtropical fruits. It covers postharvest storage, physiology and conservation for all economically important fruits. The contributors are leading researchers from Europe, Australia, New Zealand, East and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. A substantial contribution to this fast-developing area, this book is essential for horticultural students and researchers and for growers, importers and exporters of tropical and subtropical fruit.

Book Description

Modern astronomical research faces a vast range of statistical issues which have spawned a revival in methodological activity among astronomers. The Statistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy II conference, held in June 1996 at the Pennsylvania State University five years after the first conference, brought astronomers and statisticians together to discuss methodological issues of common interest. Time series analysis, image analysis, Bayesian methods, Poisson processes, nonlinear regression, maximum likelihood, multivariate classification, and wavelet and multiscale analyses were important themes. Astronomers frequently encounter troublesome situations such as heteroscedastic weighting of data, unevenly spaced time series, and selection effects leading to censoring and truncation. Many problems were introduced at the conference in the context of large-scale astronomical projects inlcuding LIGO, AXAF, XTE, Hipparcos, and digitized sky surveys.This volume will be of interest to researchers and advanced students in both fields-astronomers who seek exposure to recent developments in statistics, and statisticians interested in confronting new problems. It is edited by two faculty members of the Pennsylvania State University who have a long-standing cross-disciplinary collaboration and jointly authored the recent introductory monograph "Astrostatics." G.J. Babu is Professor of Statistics, Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and Associate Editor of the Journal of Statistical Planning & Inference and the Journal of Nonparametric Statistics. Eric D. Feigelson is Professor of Astronomoy and Astrophysics.

Helpful information, but limited in scope.......2006-08-12

This book is organized month by month. For each month, there are a few articles highlighting some very specific things to see. For instance, rafting in the canyons or watching for deer. At the end of an article, suggestions will be given for specific locales which are particularly suitable for this activity. That's all helpful information, but I was surprised by how location-specific the articles were. If you have the ability/inclination to travel around Texas to observe nature, then this book will help you know where to go and when. If you want a guide that helps you know what to look for in your own part of Texas, this guide can help, but there will be lots of articles that won't apply to your area at all.

Book Description

The Bradt guide to this popular and tranquil alternative to mainstream Mediterranean Europe focuses on Croatia's natural and cultural attractions.

Customer Reviews:

Very uneven.......2007-03-23

This book has recived very positive reviews, and not without reason. Compared to travel guides such as Lonely Planet or Rough Guide, the authors in the Bradt-series have got more freedom to form their own book. The lack of a standard format has both good and bad sides to it. One of the problems is that some authors focus very much just on the topics that interest themselves, and that is what I perceive to be a weakness in the Bradt guide to Croatia.

If you are interested in museums in the main tourist spots, then this is definitely the book for you. It focuses on the main tourist areas and on the cultural sites of these towns/cities.

However, if you are interested in places off the beaten track, you won't find much information in this book. And if you're a bit younger and want some information about nice cafés in the day-time, you won't find anything here. The same goes for night-clubs, while the authors of Bradts Guide to Serbia devotes many pages to the subject, it's a blank spot in this book.

To sum up, if you're a traveller planning to visit one or two of the most touristic sites (Dubrovnik, Hvar, Istria) just to lie in the sun or to visit museums, this book will be perfect for you. If not, you better go for the more diversified Lonely Planet's guide to Croatia.

Charming Croatia, delightfully described.......2007-03-03

Reviewed by Olivera Baumgartner-Jackson for Reader Views (2/07)

Getting only a glimpse of the frontispiece on this charming guidebook one should be excused for thinking that its subject is a Caribbean country or one of those magical, far-away islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The sandy beaches are snow-white and the water is vividly blue-green, a color that we are hard pressed to believe could truly exist in nature. Most readers will be really surprised that the cover photo actually comes from the island Cres in Croatia. Yes, Croatia is one of those relatively unknown, but exceptionally beautiful countries. It would be easy to write a clichéd, all-too-rosy book about it; yet Piers Letcher managed to do it justice without exaggerating or being too one-sided. As we learn in the Introduction, he has been visiting it for over 20 years and he evidently loves it greatly. He has also done a lot of research, which is clearly evident from the very useful General Information in Part I. This section covers all of the usual topics, from the background information to tons of practical, how-to information, even including some ideas on "how to give back" (voluntary work, charities...). The practical information section contains one of the best pieces of advice ever on how to handle the topics of the recent war in a possible conversation with the local people. "Even with a population that is now 90% Croat, as a foreigner you won't always know immediately whether you are talking to a Croat or a Serb, and even if you are sure, opinions are sufficiently divergent to be dangerous. The only really safe thing you can say, if you are asked directly, is that you're pleased it's all over, and that peace should bring prosperity." This is a tip to be remembered as it could come in handy in many similar situations just abut anywhere in the world.

The second part is The Guide, divided into seven chapters describing different regions of Croatia: Zagreb, Inland Croatia, Istria, Kvarner Bay and Islands, Northern Dalmatia, Central Dalmatia and Southern Dalmatia. Piers Letcher has a great way of mixing different elements - flora, fauna, history, humor -while describing an area, such as this inspired portrayal of the Plitvice Lakes, which happen to be one of my all-time favorites as well:

"Each of the lakes seems to be a different colour, ranging from turquoise to emerald through every blue and green you could imagine. In places the lakes seem as still and reflective as a cathedral, elsewhere they run away fast, frothing through steep gullies and shooting out from fissures in the rock. The magical noise of falling water drowns out even the shrillest of small children. On the less frequented paths it's easy to imagine the bears and wolves, as you walk across a deeply shaded bed of leaves, crunching underfoot. [...] It's inadvisable, however, to be in the wilds after nightfall - the bears and the wolves avoid the main paths and the crowds, but they do patrol out at night. [...] There have been no incidents in recent years involving tourists, but it was here, on April 16 1988 [...] that a national park warden was killed by a bear. The bear was apparently confused by a storm, and anxious to protect its cub, when it was surprised by the unfortunate warden. Being a Serb, he could probably be counted as the first victim in the Serbo-Croat war, which actually took off here in Plitvice, when the Serbs took over the management offices in March 1991."

Such vivid narratives coupled with plentiful and very detailed maps certainly make for an exceptionally useful guide book. I would highly recommend it to anybody who is lucky enough to head towards Croatia as well as to an armchair traveler ready to discover one of the better kept European secrets. For those of you who would like to understand Croatia even better, Piers Letcher put together an extraordinary list of additional reading material as well as a bunch of useful websites to visit. All of those can be found on over three pages at the very end of "Croatia, 2nd: The Bradt Travel Guide."

Helpful guide.......2006-11-14

Bradt guide is organized in a friendly format by Croatian regions. Regional and site/city specific maps along with pertinent information made exploring less confusing than our experience with other guides. Highly recommended!

Great Book.......2006-11-03

This book helped me to discover wonderful places to visit. Thanks a lot.

The best we bought.......2006-10-14

Have just returned from 2 weeks in Croatia and we cannot recommend the country, or this book, highly enough. We purchased 3 titles in all, and while each had its merits this guide was by far the most insightful into the history, culture, and sights of the country. We drove, mostly, but ditched the car in both Zagreb and Dubrovnik on the advice of this book and thought that was one of the best pieces suggestions.

Little book packs a big punch.......2006-08-24

I am traveling to Dubrovnik with a group of couples towards the end of this summer, and this book was the most comprehensive and utilitarian guide to the city and surrounding areas that I could find. With practical information (parking spots are hard to find in town and city officials aggressively tow cars and levy hefty fines) and tips on culture, day trips (new high speed ferry makes trips to nearby islands possible)and culinary options, it was the most helpful and informative guide I've found. Puts other pricier, glossier guides to shame!!

While I just baught this because I liked No Gaurantees and Second Best, I didn't like it at first. So why the 4 stars? Because I ended up liking how the book went and just the general theme. I recomend this book and the other four books in the series. I know that in one book or another anyone can identify with a main character.
