Book Description

This book is the first comprehensive history of international efforts to protect the ozone layer, the greatest success yet achieved in managing human impacts on the global environment. Its arguments about how this success was achieved are both theoretically novel and of great significance for the management of other global problems, particularly global climate change. The book provides an account of the ozone-depletion issues from the first attempts to develop international action in the 1970s to the mature functioning of the present international regime. It examines the parallel developments of politics and negotiations, scientific understanding and controversy, technological progress, and industry strategy that shaped the issue's development and its effective management. In addition, the book offers important new insights into how the interactions among these domains influenced the formation and adaptation of the ozone regime. Addressing the initial formation of the regime, the book argues that authoritative scientific assessments were crucial in constraining policy debates and shaping negotiated agreements. Assessments gave scientific claims an ability to change policy actors' behavior that the claims themselves, however well known and verified, lacked. Concerning subsequent adaptation of the regime, the book identifies a series of feedbacks between the periodic revision of chemical controls and the strategic responses of affected industries, which drove rapid application of new approaches to reduce ozone-depleting chemicals. These feedbacks, promoted by the regime's novel technology assessment process, allowed worldwide use of the chemicals to decline further and faster than even the boldest predictions, by nearly 95 percent within ten years.

Keep me cycling.......2007-06-12

Although no book can ever agree with every bit of cycling wisdom a keen rider picks up over the years - this one goes a long way to reinforcing what has become second nature in many instances for me. In addition to that, one bit of information has totally changed the way I ride, a fab way of compensating for unequal leg length without orthotics or cleat spacing. No more sores on one side because of slipping across the seat.
As to seat setback, top tube and stem length and the way it relateds to rider centre of gravity, I must say I think that Keith Bontrager with his "myth of KOPS" (search google) has the best word, complex tho.
This guy Pruitt is pretty hot in my mind, he'd have to be to write this book.

Good Read.......2007-05-10

This book has some great information in it. I wish it would have more detailed info regarding injuries and different aches and pains. It runs through this info pretty quickly.

All in all a nice cycling reference book.

Andy Pruitt's Complete Medical Guide for Cyclists.......2007-03-11

Written for the roadie, Andies book is informative, and thorough. I recommend this book for all cycling enthusiasts.

A mixed bag - fit first, problems aplenty, not "complete".......2007-03-11

If you want a decent book about bike fit, this might be a book for you. But I have mixed feelings about this book, and overall wouldn't recommend it if you're expecting a complete medical guide for cyclists. Despite its title, this book is not "complete," as claimed. It doesn't touch on a lot of issues for riders, like riding in cold weather, for instance. Arnie Baker's book is more complete ("Bicycling Medicine"). Pruitt's main focus seems to be on bike fit, and here he seems to know what he's talking about, even if his ideal approach is inaccessible to readers of the book (you have to go to his lab and get reflectors put on you and a movie made). The book is very thin. At its best, this means the author is concise, and some of his insights are great. At its worst, the book seems superficial. The section on supplements is most troublesome. Here, the author seems compromised and conflicted. He allows a physician who has a particular view of hormones, supplementation, and athletics to essentially write in the book, and even to push his products. I was a little insulted by this. Overall, this book probably wasn't worth the money for me -- it isn't complete, and has a lot of internal deficiencies.

If you ride any kind of bicycle, you need this book........2007-01-12

Short of going to the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine and getting personally fitted, this is the best way to adjust the settings on your bike. This book takes you through all of the biomechanical factors involved with cycling, and using simple language and techniques, you'll be able to improve your bike fit and possibly eliminate a lot of pain. More importantly, you will prevent long-term physical damage.

A must have.

Realy neat Back to the Future.......2002-01-18

O.k. the real reason that I picked this book, Back to the Future is because I thought It would be a easy book since I've seen the moviw a thousand times. When I started reading it though the I noticed that something was different about it.
I liked this book so much that there is realy know certin section that I could possibley choose. I guess the reason it is, is because the book was in so much then the movie. It explained stuff that I never saw.
If you seen the movie you know that when the movie starts it begins where Marty walks in to docs house and blows up a huge speaker. In the book though it starts out with Marty already in school sitting in class. Even though there was alot of stuff added, I think my favoritr part is still where when doc. jumps from the clock tower and the lightning strikes just a Marty goes back in time.

From the supplier: Montana's economy has been on the upswing since the 1970s but problems such as low wages and low per capita income have arisen due to dramatic economic changes. The volatile growth record of the 1970s and the 1980s decades has contributed largely to the problems which are more reflective of long-term growth instead of short-term recessionary trends. Some of these changes include the occupational mix where women participation has grown, the decline in the number of those employed in the basic industries and the lower average workweek, which reflects a large number of part-timers.
