Gives an introduction to various apects of system safety. It has worksheets that can be applied at work. Nothing complicated about the book, it is very concise and easy to understand. I bought it to be introduced to system safety before reading Moriarty's system safety book.

Book Description

A book based on decades of occupational health experience in the industrial clinic setting This book focuses on the development and administration of independent facilities or departments devoted to the injured worker. Until recently, this area was a largely ignored aspect of occupational health. Now, solo practitioners, partnerships, small and large multispecialty groups, HMOs, and hospitals are showing tremendous interest in developing single purpose facilities or divisions related to this type of practice. Basic Occupational Medicine: A Guide to Developing Delivery Systems addresses the critical need for a guide that explains startup considerations, maintaining the operation, and caring for patients. Topics discussed include proper reporting and charting; the nature of examinations and screening; the role of the Physician's Assistant; working with in-plant nurses; and maintaining relationships with physicians in other departments and the community. A special section is devoted to starting up and operating a facility, including critical information such as advertising and marketing, staffing, equipment, and site location. The book also contains an index with samples of types of forms needed for this business. Basic Occupational Medicine: A Guide to Developing Delivery Systems will benefit administrators, hospital directors, group medical directors, urgent care center directors, physician's assistants, occupational health nurses, insurance carriers, and employers involved with industrial health clinics.

Book Description

Amazonian Dark Earths are not only a testament to the vanished civilizations of the Amazon Basin, but may provide the answer to how the large, sophisticated societies were able to sustain intensive agriculture in an environment with mostly infertile soils. Locally known as Terra Preta de Indio or Indian black earth, these anomalous soils are even today fertile and highly productive. Though clearly associated with pre-European settlements questions remain whether the Dark Earths were intentionally produced or merely a by-product of habitation activities. This publication provides a comprehensive review of our current understanding of these fascinating soils: their origin, properties, and management through time. These new and multidisciplinary perspectives by leading experts on Amazonian Dark Earths may pave the way for the next revolution of soil management in the humid tropics.

Book Description

With over 50% new material, this category killer is sure to go the distance When the previous edition of Hal Higdons superb training guide appeared, Grete Waitz, 9-time winner of the New York City Marathon, cheered: Higdons years of marathoning experience come through in this practical book. Aspiring or veteran marathoners will benefit enormously from its proven guidance. This new edition focuses on first marathoners, women runners, and those new to the sport; and as always, Higdon shows how to build up mileage and gives advice on running long, speedwork for distance runners, defensive running strategies, and planning for peak performance. Will get any runner across the finish line of a marathon. I highly recommend it, said Olympic-marathon gold medalist Frank Shorter. Theres plenty of sound training advice here for runners of all levels, said Ken Sparks, PhD, who achieved a marathon personal record of 2:28 at age 46.

Great for the beginning/intermediate marathoner.......2007-10-05

Sat and read this book all the way through in a sitting. Lots of fantastic practical tidbits for the first time marathoner, as well as those who have not quite qualified for Boston (yet). The August injury chapter was a favorite. Those sub 3 hour folks are probably reading something else anyways. His website is also quite good. Nice job, Hal!

For Reference and Motivation.......2007-04-09

Tons of great tips make this reference guide a must-have for marathon runners. There are also inspirational tidbits to get you back on the track.

Good to use as a guide.......2007-04-03

Hal Higdon writes well and clearly has a lot of experience to draw on. He touches on all of the main points that you need to know about when training for a marathon. I have used it in my preparation as a reference and for motiviation.
When you read the book or use it for reference, keep in mind that Higdon is just giving you his advice and opinion based on experience. It may not work for you to eat as him before a marathon or run the distances he recommends, and you may need to try something different or get advise from other sources. Said I still read in the book from time to time as he is clearly a very competent gentleman.

Good reference book!!.......2007-01-12

Excellent reference book as I train for my first marathon. Good information on a variety of related subjects, including diet, distance training, speedwork, taper, and other practical advice for being successful in completing the marathon.

Great advice.......2007-01-12

I am planning to run my first marathon this summer and I found good advice for beginners and experts alike. A great read if you are serious about distance running.

An excellent guide for beginners and experienced runners.......1999-03-20

I have read this book over and over during marathon training and post training recovery. It has given me a lot of insight from many experienced trainers. This is the best book I have found for beginning runners (I am now on to my 5th marathon) both short and long distance. There is not one chapter that did not provide helpful information.

A very efficient training guide.......1999-03-06

I bought this book to prepare my first marathon. (Indianapolis, 1997). I had a real pleasure reading it. The author covers all the aspect of marathon: History, training, personal advices, and many examples. He gives you very efficient guide lines in order not to get injured and to really enjoy running. I red it few times, trying to study it. I still read part of it to check informations. What I like a lot compared to the other books I red is the clarity of the text. It's organised to be as simple as possible and to really fit your needs. The author has also a good sense of humor. It's a great book, efficient, serious, easy to read, and fun!

Guides without Guidelines.......1998-02-11

The Marathon Guide of Hal Higdon misses what many books miss when trying to reach as many potential readers as possible: Focus. The book promises to suit everyone's needs, first time marathoners as well as experienced marathoners. Even though the book starts with chapters written especially for three different levels of marathon performance, the book looses this concentration in the following twelve chapters. The author mixes content for experienced runners with content for beginners. A confusing and weakly structured work is the consequence. Undoubtedly, the author is an experienced runner and coach. But this disposition leads more to a description on "how I did it" than to suggestions how runners should behave to train for and run a Marathon. You could expect more from a "ultimate training and racing guide".

Very detailed guide to Napa.......2001-01-29

This book provides an enormously detailed, accurate guide to Napa Valley. You can literally move from building to building along the main roads of Napa and know what sits in each one when using this guide. It provides phone numbers, hours of operation, and all that one needs to enjoy a visit to Napa. It's almost TOO detailed... if I had one complaint it would be that I wished the authors would provide some more hints on which of the many places they describe so well are REALLY worth a visit! A great companion during a trip to Napa, though.

Best for self guided Napa tour. Quips were great!.......1999-10-10

This book is a must for a self-guided Napa tour. The quips about wineries provided a view not oftern seen. Comments about the smaller producing wineries were true and personal. We met the winemaker, owner, the bookkeeper and cashier at Dutch Henry only to learn they are the only employees. The information in the book is helpful to find not only wineries but eateries too. We even dined at the French Laundry. Ask about the waiting list! Don't leave home without this book!

Legendary scout Kit Carson's sassy daughter Adaline, or Falling Star, as her Arapaho mother called her before succumbing to cholera, is mute with grief. Her widowed father has left her with his racist, cruel relatives until he returns from his Rocky Mountain expedition. But her cousins' treatment of her is more than she can bear. Instead of allowing her to go to school, they force her to work as a servant in the schoolhouse. Due to her "half-breed" status, she is barely considered human. Her mixed heritage causes her plenty of internal confusion, as well.

"I'm a mix, I reckon, of white and red blood, and also a jumbled love for free roaming and the Fruits of Civilization, which is what Doc Hempstead calls reading, writing, and geography."

Adaline's intelligence and sensitivity keep her alive when her impulsiveness provokes her to run away to find her father. Her bravery and gritty frontier resourcefulness rival her father's, but her compassion is all her own.

In this lively and touching account, Mary Pope Osborne has fictionalized the life of Kit Carson's real but little-known daughter. Osborne is the renowned author of the very popular Magic Tree House series, as well as many other books for children and young adults, including a collection of yarns about American folk heroes called American Tall Tales. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter

Book Description

LOVE AND LOYALTY PUT TO THE TESTAdaline is a fiery child--an irrepressible combination of her white explorer father Kit Carson and her Arapaho mother. When Ma dies and Pa sets off on an expedition out West, Adaline finds herself living in St. Louis with racist white relatives who call her a savage and work her like a slave.When Adaline realizes she may have been abandoned, she decides to find her own way back to her mother's people, where she is sure her father will find her. With the company of a stray dog, Adaline sets out on a journey that will either save her life--or end it...

a heroine caught between two worlds and the past and the present.......2007-06-10

A young girl who is of both white and Native American parentage is forced to live with her prejudiced, white Christian relatives after the death of her Arapaho mother and after her father, Kit Carson, leaves on a trek into the wilderness. Eventually, Adaline Falling Star escapes from this oppressive and misunderstanding environment and treks out to find her father. It a beautifully written story about a child caught between two worlds, being part of both and part of neither. She's also caught between her past with her parents and her future. She also faces a dilemma when she bonds with a mutt (also of mixed parentage), and eventually faces the same problem as her parents who abandoned her: live in the past or the present. It's a powerful, thoughtful, and beautiful young adult novel with a strong, feisty, intelligent, and tragic heroine. Based on a true story. Grade: B+

Adeline Falling Star.......2006-03-25

After the death of her mother, Adaline is sent to St. Louis by her father to live with her cousins so he can explore the West. Adaline is a wild and adventurous girl and she does not like living with her "civilized" cousins. She is treated so harshly that she runs away and tries to find her way back to where her mother's people live. During her journey, Adeline meets a lovable homeless dog and she and the little dog face many obstacles and challenges that they must overcome. Adaline Falling Star was written by Mary Pope Osborne. The author portrays the characters very well. By the end of the book they feel as if they are real. Although it was very descriptive, Adaline Falling Star was slightly boring at times. It is a good book but would not be described as a page-turner. Somebody who likes reading realistic fiction might enjoy this book.

Adaline Falling Star.......2006-03-25

Victoria Zinsmeyer
Adeline Falling Star
By: Mary Pope Osborne

11 year old, motherless Adaline finds herself living very far from home. While her father, the famous scout Kit Carson is exploring the west (which Adaline always dreamt of doing) she is in St. Louis at her cousin Silas' school. Adaline and her father think she is going to be learning there, but instead Adaline is introduced as a mute child (even though she isn't) and is made official "wood hauler and dirt sweeper". Because of Adaline's diverse heritage, she is teased and made fun of. The teachers completely overlook Adaline's intellectual ability. Finally a young girl named Lillian pushes Adaline over the edge. When Adaline finds out that her father just might have abandoned her, she shows her grief by nearly killing herself. Then she decides to run away. While Adaline is running away, she finds a dog. The two of them join together to make a great team.
In this book Mary Pope Osborne does an amazing job describing the feelings of her characters and gives great images of the characters' surroundings. Mary Pope Osborne does not use quotation marks making it hard to tell the difference if a character is speaking or thinking. In this story Mary Pope Osborne varies her style depending on the scene. At times her descriptions are shocking and graphic. For example, in one of Adaline's dreams, she dreams that bugs are eating her up. At other times her writing is a bit dull and monotonous.
The theme in this book is that it is important to take chances for the things you want in life. Adaline wants to see her father so she takes the chance of running away to see her father again.

Make a Wish.......2005-03-01
