Book Description

The importance of understanding complex toxicological and chemical properties of hexavalent and trivalent chromium has increased rapidly over the last few years as state and federal regulators reevaluate environmental standards. The risk management of chromium-contaminated soils continues to be a very dynamic process that presents interesting challenges. Chromium in Soil discusses the challenges faced by those investigating and remediating chromium-impacted soils and groundwater. The chapters address numerous ground-breaking developments in various fields of environmental chromium research, including toxicity, chemistry, environmental fate and transport, remediation technology, and health-based cleanup standards.

Book Description

The papers in this volume cover a wide range of subjects covering the most recent developments in Celestial Mechanics from the theoretical point of nonlinear dynamical systems to the application to real problems. We emphasize the papers on the formation of planetary systems, their stability and also the problem of habitable zones in extrasolar planetary systems. A special topic is the stability of Trojans in our planetary system, where more and more realistic dynamical models are used to explain their complex motions: besides the important contribution from the theoretical point of view, the results of several numerical experiments unraveled the structure of the stable zone around the librations points. This volume will be of interest to astronomers and mathematicians interested in Hamiltonian mechanics and in the dynamics of planetary systems.

Book Description

The Human Impact on the Natural Environment has become the classic student text on how human activity has changed and continues to change the face of the Earth. The fifth edition maintains the structure of the previous editions as it examines the human role in natural processes and systems. Areas covered include animals, vegetation, soils, landforms, water, the atmosphere, and climate. The book also considers future implications, particularly global warming.

The text and references of this edition have been updated throughout. The book includes new or expanded sections on species decline, pollution, sea level, ozone depletion, and climate change, as well as an expanded guide for further reading. It provides a comprehensive view of the major environmental issues facing the world today and gives students of the environment an essential introduction to the impact of humans on the Earth.

Textbook coverage that doesn't read like a textbook.......2001-07-01

Goudie's book covers both past and present human impacts on every conceivable component of the Earth -- on vegetation, animals, landforms, soil, water, climate, and the atmosphere. One of the strengths of this book is, of course, the great breadth of the topics it covers. Another strength is the use of clear concrete examples, with plenty of maps, graphs, and other visual presentations of relevant information. And finally, and most importantly, this book stands out because of the clarity of the writing, which is straight-forward and devoid of both technical jargon and judgmental phrasing.

This would make a great textbook for a college course, and yet would also make a wonderful reference or pleasure reading book for the curious. Not many books can make such a claim!

Book Description

Avid sport fishermen will treasure this book—which is nearly as beautiful as the objects it describes. Fly-tying is a highly prized fisherman’s craft, but it’s also an art form, wonderfully captured in this volume’s hundreds of color photos. Each of 100 fly patterns is presented in a two-page spread: an enlarged photo and textual description on the left-hand page, complemented with a set of step-by-step, clearly captioned photos on the facing page. In addition, fishing enthusiasts will find sections on fly-tying tools and materials plus general instructions for getting started. The author, a well-known fly-tier and sport fisherman gives instructions on making traditional trout and salmon flies—all of them fish catchers of proven effectiveness in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Examples vary in complexity, with patterns to fit every skill level from novice to expert fly-tier. Here are dry flies, nymphs and bugs, wet flies, streamers, and hairwings—a virtually complete selection of traditional and up-to-date examples of the art. The book’s hidden spiral binding keeps its pages opened flat, which makes it ideal for reference at the workbench. More than 600 color photos.

Fantastic for Fly Fishermen.......2007-09-06

This is a great book, especially if you want to learn flies that will catch the trout and salmon. It is really good for beginners to intermediate fly tiers. And the old-timers can learn new patterns. Probably won't need any other trout fly tying book for quite some time with this one.

Did not receive.......2007-07-10

I will be contacting you in the near future as I did not receive my book. It was apparently delivered to the wrong address or stolen from my box. As I understand it, reimbursement or replacement is your responsibility.

Nice pictures........2007-05-25

Nice pictures and material lists, but for a novice like me it would have been helpful to me to have had included a hook number or at a least hook type.

A very practical book, Easy to follow........2007-04-14

It's easy to follow, and has great patterns. I'm a newbie to fly tying and picked up a small assortment of recommended books. This one is the one I prefer to use most often. The others are ok. This one is just a cut above due to the fact it's easy to use, to tie dynamite flies.

Very nice book to have .......2007-03-25

Very usefull for beginners covers many important patterns with detailed instructions.
Cover many important dry flies, nymps, wet, streamers as well as Hairwings for trouts and for salmons.

Who can crack complicated ciphers faster than a speeding bullet? Or leap tall gondolas in a single bound? It's a supercomputer, it's an Olympic athlete, no, it's Blue Avenger, a.k.a. David Schumacher, Norma Howe's 16-year-old self-made superhero. Blue is back for another round of everyday miracle making in Howe's deliciously clever sequel to The Adventures of Blue Avenger. This time our hero is on the hunt for the true author of Shakespeare's plays--was it really William Shakespeare? Or could it have been the obscure 17th Earl of Oxford, Edward De Vere? While he searches for clues to the history mystery, Blue also manages to score a trip to Venice, foil the foul dog-napping of his grammy's beloved Shih Tzu, and discover a sure-fire way of securing the copyright of his friend Louie's stolen video game idea. But even as he saves the world bit by bit, Blue can't help but wonder what it will take to finally win the trust and love of his friend and crush, the fair Omaha Nebraska Brown. Cracking the code of her heart may end up becoming Blue's biggest challenge.

Like its predecessor, Blue Avenger Cracks the Code is full of engaging, interlocking plot lines that Howe juggles nimbly and matches up neatly by book's end. Has learning through fiction ever been so fun? Full of facts and factoids, Code will have teens running out to research the 17th Earl of Oxford and trying their hands at Francis Bacon's Bi-Lateral Cipher. As always, the Avenger's adventures are true Blue, and very cool. Stay tuned for the next installment! (Ages 12 and older) --Jennifer Hubert

Book Description

What do an amorous Shih Tzu, a computer game, and the complete works of Shakespeare have in common?

Maybe nothing. Or maybe everything. It's a mystery...some would say a code. A code that only an adept code-cracker like Blue Avenger (aka David Schumacher), secret champion of the underdog, modest seeker of truth, and fearless innovator of the unknown, would even think about trying to decipher. And it couldn't come at a better time. Having accomplished several seemingly impossible missions, Blue is now a superhero without a cause, directionless and nearly girlfriendless. When he is offered a chance to visit Venice, it seems the forces of nature have aligned, and like all good and noble superheroes, Blue must choose to accept his mission.

hmmmm..........2006-12-19

i think the below reviewer's writing is a fairly good reflection of his intellectual capacity.

don't trust his judgment, it's a great book-- he just wasn't able to appreciate it.

the writing is not "boring," and the writer does not use "random" words. her style is excellent, a refreshing respite from the dull writing that fills most "young adult" books these days.

Blue Avenger: Cracks the Code
By: Norma Howe

This is the second book I read this trimester. The is book is about how David who changed his name to Blue Avenger is trying to figure out a lot of different codes and figure out his love life. Blue is 15 and he has a girlfriend named Omaha. In the beginning of the book he gets a chance to send Omaha to Italy to see his dad. She comes back very disappointed, her dad told the story about how they a banded her. After that Omaha and Blue weren't going steady anymore. Meanwhile Dr. Wood is getting Blue into a new mystery about Shakespeare. He said it was all written by "Edward de Vere" the 15th earl of Oxford. So later in the book he finds out that that the information is false and that Edward de Vere never really existed. And Shakespeare really was "Edward de Vere", but now Dr. Wood and Blue are going to go to Europe to investigate. Read the book to find out if Blue or Dr. Wood is right; also find out what will happen with Omaha and Blue.

This book was very boring to read because everything went very slow and book never seemed to progress. I couldn't feel like I was in the book because all of characters seemed so unreal. The main conflict did not interest me; it was about Shakesphere and love. I hate both of those kinds of books. The characters were not realistic because they have the most unreal thing happen and they act like nobody ever would. The ending to the book sucked because nothing really happened all that happened was somebody won an argument big whoop.

The author's voice was in the third person. The author used a lot of random words that I didn't understand or don't make since in the sentence. The author didn't really use many different characteristics. I think the author used too much description and not enough dialogue. The tone of the book was very monotone. Nothing really seemed to happen. I think the author should have done more dialogue in the book.

If I had to rate this book I would give it a 5/10 because it was really boring and in comparison the was really slow and had no point to it. I would definitely not recommend this book to anyone because it was horrible, boring and nothing ever really seemed to happen.

I think this qualifies and the worst book I read and if I wasn't forced to continue reading it I wouldn't have. I think the author could have made the book more interesting if he rewrote the thing with a good storyline. This was the absolute worst book EVER!!! Don't read it.

Blue Avenger Cracks the Code.......2004-07-30

In Norma Howe's first book, THE ADVENTURES OF BLUE AVENGER, her main character David Schumacher changes his name to "Blue Avenger" and becomes a self-made hero. In the sequel, BLUE AVENGER CRACKS THE CODE, the adventure continues.

The book opens as Blue is reading through his father's old books, which have remained untouched since his death three years before. The last book on his list is THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, and Blue begins to wonder who the real Bard was. Could it have actually been Shakespeare or was it Edward De Vere, the relatively unknown 17th Earl of Oxford? Blue, his best friend Louis DeSoto, and Louis's sister Drusie all travel to Venice in order to solve this enigma.

The three friends navigate through many mysteries on this fateful trip. When the time comes for them to board the plane for their long journey home, you wonder if they will be able to resume their normal lives --- or will author extraordinaire Howe treat us to yet another installment? One can only hope that Blue will have more codes to crack in the near future.

So can Blue find enough evidense to prove that Edward De Vere really did write the Shakespearian plays?

Blue Avenger Strikes Again.......2000-09-02

In this book, the sequel to The Adventures of Blue Avenger, Blue continues his exploits to save humanity from crime and corruption. His adventures take him from Oakland, California, to Venice, Italy, and along the way he meets many new friends. This book has many more characters than the first, which makes it even more interesting. The entire plot is intertwined with the mystery of whether or not William Shakespeare really wrote the famed Shakespearean plays. Many conjecture that Edward De Vere, an English earl, was actually the author of Shakespeare's plays. Although this book wasn't as funny as the first, the mystery makes it an even better book. Both books in the series are quick reads, but well worth the time for anyone, especially teenage readers.
