Good Book for the thought. Keeps you focused on exact budget instead of impulse spending.

I can't tell you want a godsend this book has been to me.......1998-10-23

My wife and I squabbled for years over who was spending too much. There never seemed to be enough money, no matter how much we both earned. After reading this book, we were able to budget effectively for this first time. And it doesn't take that much time. What's best is we have more money left over, and we don't argue about money anymore!

Book Description

During the last 100 years, the worldwide yields of cereal grains, such as wheat and rice, have increased dramatically. Since the 1950s, developments in plant breeding science have been heralded as a "Green Revolution" in modern agriculture. But what factors have enabled and promoted these technical changes? And what are the implications for the future of agriculture? This new book uses a framework of political ecology and environmental history to explore the "Green Revolution's" emergence during the 20th century in the United States, Mexico, India, and Britain. It argues that the national security planning efforts of each nation were the most important forces promoting the development and spread of the "Green Revolution"; when viewed in the larger scheme, this period can be seen as the latest chapter in the long history of wheat use among humans, which dates back to the neolithic revolution. Efforts to reform agriculture and mitigate some of the harsh environmental and social consequences of the "Green Revolution" have generally been insensitive to the deeply embedded nature of high yielding agriculture in human ecology and political affairs. This important insight challenges those involved in agriculture reform to make productivity both sustainable and adequate for a growing human population.

ASIN: B000OKKZOW

Book Description

The Standard Model of the electromagnetic and weak interactions offers no explanations for the origin of the fermion mass and mixing parameters, except that they arise from Yukawa couplings, which are free parameters of the Model. The problem is worse when the question of neutrino masses is considered and, despite its remarkable success on many fronts, the Standard Model cannot explain some important experimental observations. In particular, it is not possible to describe the phenomena of neutrino oscillations that has been uncovered in recent years and, from a particle physics viewpoint, this provides the most convincing evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. Following the trend of the previous workshops, we focus also on the presentation of the current status of the main accelerator and non-accelerator neutrino mass experiments (such as Super-Kamiokande, and SNO), the future experimental projects (e.g., MiniBoone) and some of the phenomenology related to them, as well as reviews of the theoretical and phenomenological ideas related to the question of neutrino masses and related topics such as the explanation for the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe.

God, the English biologist J.B.S. Haldane once observed, has an inordinate fondness for beetles--and, for that matter, for all the other little bugs and insects that abound on the earth. Sue Hubbell, a beekeeper-turned-essayist, shares that fondness, and after reading her notes on camel crickets, gypsy moths, and water striders, among other creatures, you will as well. Hubbell's appreciation extends even to bugs that we find noxious ("Silverfish," she writes, "are gregarious, sociable animals, liking their own company so much that they often eat one another"), although she admits to harboring a few favorites among the innumerable insect orders, notably bees, of course, and daddy longlegs spiders, whose "otherness" she rightly prizes. --Gregory McNamee

Book Description

Insects are, as E. O. Wilson says, "the little things that run the earth." Each is unique. Hubbell mixes science and poetry as only she can to bring insects from every order to life: butterflies, midges, gnats, ladybugs, longlegs, flies, bees, silverfish, katydids, dragonflies, crickets. It's essential reading if you want to know who is really running the earth.

Curious Sue on Bugs.......2007-03-24

Hubbell, Sue. 1994. Broadsides From the Other Orders: A Book of Bugs Random House Reprinted Edition 276 pages, ISBN # 0-679-75300-1
Broadsides From the Other Orders: A Book of Bugs is an amazing book about bugs that combines entomological facts with personal experience. Sue Hubbell is not an entomologist, but her book is quite credible because of her collaboration with notable entomologists, her experience as a writer about bugs and her fieldwork. Hubbell is an accredited Bee journalist and her works A Country Year and A Book of Bees, was recognized by The New York Times Book Review as notable books of the year.
In this book, Hubbell takes her curiosity for bugs and made it a work of art. Her inquisitive nature for bugs can be seen from chapter to chapter, as she explores and learns about various bugs and their relative orders. It is organized into thirteen chapters, in which they are written in narrative/natural history style. In each chapter one learns of a new insect in which there would be information about their life cycle, feeding behavior, mating habits, defense mechanism, phenotypic appearance and ancestry. In no particular order, the chapters are about Butterflies, Midges and Gnats, Katydids, Water Striders, Syrphid Flies, Camel Crickets, Daddy Long Legs (not strictly an insect), Dragonflies, Black Flies, Lady Beetles, Bravo Bees, Silverfish and the Gypsy Moth.
In each chapter there are interesting facts such as; "For every pound of us there are 300 pounds of bugs (p17)," "In bug design: the poorer the vision, the larger the antennae; the more powerful the vision, the shorter the antennae (p164)," "bees have hairs growing between the facets of their compound eyes, and when the hairs are removed experimentally, the bee is unable to fly accurately (p165)." You would also be exposed to entomological terms such as metamorphosis, type specimen, sexual dimorphism, aposematic coloration and Batesian and Mullerian mimicry. Furthermore, Hubbell's addition of myths, childhood experiences with bugs, creative drawing and poetry; brings humor and charm to the book. After all, it is the little bit of everything and her curiosity, which makes this book enlightening, seductive, memorable and unique.
I am a first timer at studying insects and I can pretty much say that after reading this book I am more knowledgeable about bugs; and have realized that they are beautiful mysterious creatures. I have learned a lot of things and had fun doing it, because as a visual learner Hubbell's book was alluring and picturesque because of the creative drawings. I do believe Sue Hubbell's purpose was to share her curious passion for bugs, while educating readers about the basics, which I think she did quite well. I must say reading this book definitely peaked my interest in studying bugs, because she presented the facts in an interesting and quite unforgettable fashion, plus the book is well written. I especially liked her journalistic style and felt that the information presented was thorough and precise.
Although, Hubbell's book was thorough from chapter to chapter, I do believe that she should have written about more bugs. Instead of every chapter being about an insect/bug, Hubbell could have separated her chapters by insect orders and lump the insects that belonged in that order together. For example, there was one chapter about butterflies and another one on gypsy moths; she should have put these two together, which would leave room for new bugs.
However, I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning about insects and who are afraid of insects and think them as creepy; because by the time you are completed you would have second thoughts and fall in love with them.

More research.......2004-02-09

I love studying insects and Ms. Hubbell's book makes a pretty interesting addition to my collection. Her research on the lady beetles and black flies are nothing to complain about. However, recent studies have concluded that Darwin's pepper moth research is flawed, and in Ms. Hubbell's own words "For years biologists taught their students that the viceroy butterfly,...was a prime example of an edible Bastian mimic. ...and all the lecture notes and guidebooks will have to be rewitten." Maybe she needs to rewrite her own notes? Other than the lock-step Darwinianism, Ms. Hubbell make a compelling argument for the closer study of insects from the custest to the most annoying. A very good read from someone who obviously adores her subject and makes it interesting for the layman (latin names and all!).

Great essays.......2003-11-22

This is a neat book. Hubell takes a look at a number of insects that we're all familiar with (butterflies, ladybugs, daddy longlegs, black flies, silverfish, katydids, dragonflies, crickets, and more) and has a short essay on each, taking us past just the basics that field guides provide to understand and appreciate more about the lives and behaviors of these animal. There are also neat little fun facts like history of the names, european stories of the insects, etc. Her writing style is easy to read yet there is a balance between technical/biological facts and fun easy anecdotes/stories. Its all woven together so its not like you're reading a text book but you're stil learning a lot. There are lovely drawings sprinkled in throughout the book. Overall I really enjoyed the book and have gained some neat new knowledge that otherwise I would not have encountered.Here's a quick tidbit: for the eastern katydid - the latin name translates as "That being which has wings like a camellia leaf." Neat - makes me look a little differently at the katydid too. I loved this book - highly recommeded for any nature lover.

excellent popular book on insects and other arthropods.......2001-03-03

Hubbell is clearly pasionate about insects and their relatives, and that passion shows in this outstanding book on invertebrates. Combining personal experience with solid entomological fact, Hubbell presents to the average reader fascinating glimpses of a number of invertebrate groups, such as water striders, dragonflies, daddy longlegs, and butterflies. Hubbell shows the life stories of these groups, the role they play in nature, and the people whose lives they affect. Whether beautiful or hideous, valuable or a pest, Hubbell shows them all to be fascinating creatures. Despite that many of them are quite common, some such as black flies too common, the authors show that mysteries still exist with these creatures, how sometimes relatively basic aspects of their lives and roles in nature are mysteries.

This book is very readable and while not too technical is filled with lots of interesting and accurate facts and a wealth of personal experience on the part of the author. If you ever wanted to know more about the butterflies in your garden, the dragonflies wizzing by you over the local lake or pond, or that daddy longlegs in the attic or toolshed, this is the book for you.

A Great Appreciation for Life in its Many Forms.......2000-06-09

As a young boy I was an avid collector of insects. No specialty - six legs were the only requirement. By about age ten I had exhausted the children's section of the central library and was given the rare honor to check out books from the adult section. Thick books with small print and detailed drawings of insects in their varied life stages. After recently reading Sue Hubbell's book, I wondered why I had wandered away from my early passion.

She describes chapter by chapter the fascinating life that we call bugs. Hubbell begins with Order Lepidoptera, the butterflies, among the more acceptable insects. Other chapters explore midges and gnats, ladybugs, daddy longlegs, black flies, bravo (killer) bees, water striders, silverfish, dragonflies and damselflies, gypsy moths, syrphid flies, and camel crickets. The detailed ink drawings scattered throughout the text are quite good.

Reading Broadsides is great fun. Hubbell is intelligent and has a great appreciation for life in its many forms. She introduces us to entomologists (a fascinating life form in themselves) and we share their enthusiasm for their particular study. We take part in a butterfly census in the Rockies, search for ladybug aggregations in the Sierra foothills, track katydids in the Midwest with sophisticated audio electronics, and closely observe an aging daddy longlegs. We discover how University of Kansas acquired a remarkable collection of water striders from a private collector. We learn that classifying insects is not a simple matter; insect evolution has been amazingly complicated, leading to unending debate regarding proper taxonomy. Obviously biodiversity is out of control.

More importantly, Hubbell helps us see the world through the eyes (sometimes many eyes) of individual insect species. I was fascinated by the complex and exhausting mating dance of silverfish. She may have even created a new genre: insect eroticism. (I look at silverfish differently today - but I still chase them away from my books.) Somehow Hubbell even manages to present biting black flies with some sympathy and understanding. Her personal observations - as when stooping over small puddles in early spring to admire the graceful performance of water striders - reveal a world that so often we ignore in our hurry and concern with bigger things.

This is a relaxing book to read. Each chapter largely stands alone and could be read in any sequence, but nonetheless the chapters combine to tell a fascinating story. I highly recommend Broadsides.

Full of useful insight and information, and mid-depth analysis of racing mechanics. It helps to know some automotive lingo (I've had to look up a few words), but this is technical enough for the engineers to enjoy, yet written plainly enough that anyone can benefit from reading it.

I lost count how many times I re-read this book........2003-08-05

I first got this book with I was only a kid doing DE's and track days. At that time I found the book to be helpful but way too advanced for me. Now 2 years later with karting races and Skip Barber I often find myself re-reading sections of the book and understanding more. I won't be surprised to re-read it again as I get deeper into the skippy school race series.

Quite a book that have always been there with me throughout my new born racing life.

This guy decreased my lap times an average of 2-3 seconds!.......2002-09-16

Very important reading for anyone who claims to know anything about race car driving. From going through and understanding what was said (and I was helped immensely by reading a couple of the more technical volumes Mr. Smith has written), I was able to increase my ability to consistently drive closer to the edge.

If you already own a copy of this bible, and you want a new one, I've found it's possible to get signed copies directly from Carroll if you look online hard enough!

Obviously, this book is a stand-out in motorsport history, as far as technique and promotion of understanding what really goes on in a driver's helmet, behind the wheel of a beast he's trying to tame. (Then again, if you've read Mr. Smith's other books, you know there's no reason for that much struggle). For any motorsport finatic, officionado, or simply someone who is interested in it all, CHECK OUT THIS BOOK. You will learn a lot and be able to associate with what's being said. This book is worth about 500 hours of seat-time to a newbie in this game.

I love this guys attitude!.......2002-04-01

Carroll Smith does an excellent job of laying everything out on the table in this book. He does a great job of giving insite to less glories sections of racing. Highly recommend.

Drive to Win.......2002-01-20

Mr. Smith explains why corner entry is the most important phase of any corner. But it was his explanation of the corner exit technique that helped me the most. He delves into this subject more than any other book I've read. And he explains why it is so important to lap times. After tuning my car's chassis to deliver the recommended exit attitude, I took the car to Texas World Speedway for a lapping session. As I exited turn two I nearly let go of the steering wheel and raised my fist into the air and yelled YAHOO! It was FAST! And you know it as soon as you hit it. You won't need the stopwatch. If you're not applying the principles in this book, you won't beat anyone who is. My highest possible recommendation.

Great For Quick Reference.......2004-11-23

I am a fan of the Lonely Planet line, and this map is no exception. For what it is, it is excellent. The map is a laminated, accordion-fold map of the portions of Oahu and Honolulu that most people want to visit. It is a great size and format, but would be even better if it was just a bit shorter to make it better able to fit in pockets. The only reasons that I gave it four instead of five stars is that not all Honolulu is depicted, making it less than totally useful for exploring out of the way places (although it does cover Waikiki and downtown Honolulu well, redeeming it largely), and the scale is generally so small as to be difficult to read, especially while driving, the exceptions being the downtown Honolulu and the Waikiki maps, which are altogether excellent and very user-friendly.

I do recommend this map to people visiting Hawaii. It will be perfectly adequate for 99 percent of all tourists, but if you plan on venturing beyond downtown Honolulu or Waikiki, you need to consider a more comprehensive map. The single most useful map for most travelers to Oahu is the Nelles Maps edition titled "Honolulu and O'ahu," which I recommend highly. The only drawback to the Nelles map is that it is a full-size fold-out map, making it a bit unwieldy at times; therein lies the reason that I use both the Lonely Planet and Nelles maps, this map is best for on the go, quick reference use, while the Nelles map is best for trip and route-specific planning.
