Book Description
In the field of ecology there has been a surprising lack of adequate tools for making the abundant literature published in English linguistically available to the Spanish-speaking world, and vice versa. The present dictionary has been compiled in order to fill this gap. The intense cooperation of a professional translator and an ecologist has produced a work which combines thorough scientific treatment with pragmatical evaluation of needs.
The user of this dictionary will find ample terminology on plant ecology and complementary sciences such as plant physiology, edaphology, biostatistics, environmental science, forestry, climatology, plant geography etc., both in English and in Spanish, with concise definitions or explanations, as well as corresponding or equivalent terms in the other language.
This book is particularly valuable for investigators, teachers, students and translators of ecology, plant and environmental sciences, and useful for any person studying, defending or interested in the life conditions of land plants.

Book Description
The 2,900-mile shoreline of Lake Superior offers some of the most beautiful scenery in the world: stunning juxtapositions of shape, color, and texture, from the birch and evergreen forests of Minnesota's north shore and the maple-clad slopes of Wisconsin to Ontario's granite outcrops and Michigan's sandstone shelves. Inhabited by hundreds of species of mammals, birds, and insects, the diverse ecosystems around Superior have also experienced human habitation for millennia.
In Lake Effect, writer Erika Alin explores both the natural and the human landscapes of Lake Superior, meditating on the rich geological, historical, and cultural events that have shaped the region. She begins her journey around Superior at the mouth of the St. Louis River near Duluth and continues along the shores of the lake to Temperance River State Park, Grand Marais's Artist's Point, and Lake Superior Provincial Park. Following the Michigan and Wisconsin coasts, Alin visits the Keweenaw Peninsula, the Porcupine Mountains, and Chequamegon Bay, before concluding at the south shore's Brule River.
Inspired by these and other places on the lake, Alin's engaging essays delve into such diverse topics as the origins of river names, early Native American settlement, the exploits of seventeenth-century French-Canadian voyageurs, the breeding habits of ring-billed gulls, the contributions of women botanists, Canada's Group of Seven painters, and aboriginal rock art. A holistic and deeply personal reflection on Superior's shoreline, Lake Effect reveals a profound sensitivity to the natural world and a penetrating historical imagination.
Erika Alin is a teacher, writer, and photographer who lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her writings have appeared in numerous journals and magazines, and her photographs of Lake Superior have been included in many exhibits.
Customer Reviews:
Finally some North Shore nature writing.......2004-07-04
For all the love the people of the Midwest have for Lake Superior and the Minnesota North Shore, you'd think more people would have written...and published...about their experiences there. But there is a noticeable lack of current nature writing about the lake. This book does a great job of filling in. The various chapters take a rough clockwise journey around the lake, stopping to deeply elucidate one natural history phenomenon after another. For fans of Lake Superior, this is a very welcome and very important book.

Book Description
When young Ernal Foster spent his life savings to build a juniper-hulled sportfishing boat in 1937, he gave birth to what would become the multimillion-dollar charter fishing industry on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Today, Ernal's son, Captain Ernie Foster, struggles to keep the family business alive in a time of great change on the Outer Banks. Hatteras Blues is their story--a story of triumph and loss, of sturdy Calvinist values and pell-mell American progress, and of fate and luck as capricious as the weather.
Within the engaging saga of the rise and decline of one family's livelihood, Tom Carlson relates the high-adrenaline experience of blue-water sportfishing and the precarious early development of Hatteras Village in the heart of "Hurricane Alley." In recording this story, the author unexpectedly finds himself becoming part of it. Struggling to come to terms with the illness and death of his wife to a degenerative disease, Carlson learns a lesson from the Fosters--and the townspeople--in how to prepare for absence and loss, and then how to grieve with some measure of grace and dignity.
Customer Reviews:
Good Read.......2007-03-02
A compelling storyline full of facinating bits and pieces about North Carolina's coastal heritage. It's a must read for NC fishermen.
A warm first-person survey which at times reads with the quiet drama of fiction........2007-01-07
HATTERAS BLUES: A STORY FROM THE EDGE OF AMERICA is part biography and part regional history: it uses the experiences of one long-time fisherman on North Carolina's outer banks to reveal the issues of a fading industry and the development of Hatteras Village in the heart of Hurricane Alley. Tom Carlson's involvement with his subject leads him to the heart of a family and a town's struggles and faith in a warm first-person survey which at times reads with the quiet drama of fiction.

Makes me want to move.......2006-08-17
Great book. I love to hear the stories of the people in this book, of course the fishing is always good. The weather and the constant movement of the cape was and is totally intriguing.
Hatteras Blues touches the heart of what it means to love the sea.......2006-08-09
I have been visiting the North Carolina outer banks since 1970. I did not think anyone had as much love or reverence of this special place as I, but I was wrong. Tom Carlson in Hatteras Blues has established himself as a true devotee of these narrow islands off the Carolina coast. He captures the lure of isolated and wind-worn beaches and ever-changing off shore waters where fishermen (and women) from the smallest North Carolina towns to the largest international cities have searched for prize bill fish, bull drum, cobia and a host of other species for several decades. The reader is absorbed in the story of the Fosters and others who fought the harshness of life on the outer banks to create a thriving charter fishing industry that today is being challenged by corporations and those uncaring of the outerbanks special culture. Carlson is a waterman by birth and a "Banker" by choice. Hatteras Blues is a heartfelt story of great loss, love, spirit, transformation and hope set in one of the most magical places on planet Earth. Rates with Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea for bringing to life the conflicts, the turmoil and the serenity of what it means to be a part of the sea and the coast. Highly recommended.
A book about Charter Fishing.......2006-04-29
This is a very well researched book about the history of charter fishing off Hatteras Island. The author combines archive research with annecdotes collected from his repeated trips to the island. The reader also has a feeling of sadness as the author's wife slowly succumbs to MS while he is doing his research.
Well worth the time to read.

Book Description
Ivy is the story of a 12-year old girl who finds herself homeless on the streets of San Francisco when she and her father are evicted from his artist loft. Living outdoors because there no adequate shelters for single fathers, they chance upon the rundown house of an eccentric elderly couple. Filled with realistic touches and magical moments, the book is bound to touch all readers. Each chapter is introduced with a beautiful drawing by illustrator, Marilyn Bogerd.
Customer Reviews:
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS EVER!!!!.......2003-12-02
I think Ivy really puts you in her shoes because if you have a city life in a apartment or house, it's very hard to imagine what hardships homeless people go through. I think this book gives you another point of view of life. This is a very suspenseful book that pulls you into it. I would definitely recomend this book to anyone who is looking for a suspenseful book to take up spare time and/or entertain themselves.

this book is truely amazing story for readers of all ages. It brings homelessness to light in through a novel, but in a very real way....It is a subject everyone needs to be more conscious of and Mrs. Brenner is a both a gifted author and a gifted teacher.
A heartwarming story.......2000-07-26
I think that IVY, A TALE OF A HOMELESS GIRL IN SAN FRANCISCO, is an excellent introduction to the topic of homelessness in an urban environment. It's a heartwarming story that reduced this fifty year old to tears. Ivy will defintely cling to you!
Ivy teaches.......2000-07-13
My 12 year old daughter and I read Ivy: Tale of a Homeless Girl in San Francisco together. I thought that I knew about homelessness, but this well written story taught me about feeling homeless. It was a catalyst for discussions with my daughter. My 10 year old son sat close enough to listen as I read aloud. He appreciated the book as much as we did. The vocabulary is rich, and the author weaves a fine story. The illustrations capture the noises, smells,and emotions of Ivy's experiences. We look forward to sharing the book with friends.
A Reality Check.......2000-06-17
From a grandmother's perspective, it is an enlightening book, not only for young people, but all ages. The book is harsh enough in presenting the reality of some peoples lives, but the writing has touches of warmth which holds the reader's interest. Even though it is fiction, the book is a reality check for human behavior.
