This book analyzes and elucidates the nature of predictable changes on the world's agricultural system caused by the so-called greenhouse effect. Its aim is to educate students at the undergraduate level about how the climatic factors affecting agriculture may be modified in the future, and what practical adaptations might be undertaken to prevent or overcome any possible adverse impacts on our ability to feed the world's population. The book draws on several complimentary disciplines, including atmospheric science, hydrology, soil science, crop physiology, and resource economics, and integrates the relevant aspects of these fields.

Book Description

A Conspiracy of Optimism explains the controversy now raging over the U.S. Forest Service’s management of America’s national forests. Confronted with the dual mandate of production and preservation, the U.S. Forest Service decided it could achieve both goals through more intensive management. For a few decades after World War Two, this “conspiracy of optimism” masked the fact that high levels of resource extraction were destroying forest ecosystems.

The effects of intensive management—massive clear-cuts, polluted streams, declining wildlife populations, and marred scenery—initiated several decades of environmental conflict that continues to the present. Hirt documents the roots of this conflict and illuminates recent changes in administration and policy that suggest a hopeful future for federal lands.

Confusion and Clearcuts.......1998-09-15

In the current debates over resource management and environmental degradation, the role of government and its interaction with its various constituencies is very important. A Conspiracy of Optimism effectively examines the multiple mandates of the United States Forest Service since World War II and how under increasing political and economic pressure it has chosen to satisfy the demands of politicians, the logging industry, and outdoor recreationalists. What emerges from this well-documented and cogently written monograph is a portrait of mismanagement, confusion, and overharvest taking place beneath and behind the oft-stated and repeated mantras of sustainable yield. Anyone seeking to understand the logging controversies of the current day must read this book.

Book Description

This revised edition of NOLS Wilderness First Aid reflects the changing field of wilderness medicine. Designed as a field textbook for the NOLS wilderness first aid curriculum, it helps train outdoor leaders to prevent, recognize, and treat common medical problems and to stabilize a severely ill or injured patient for evacuation. A vital resource for outdoor enthusiasts, this book covers fundamental topics in first aid--patient assessment, shock, soft tissue injury, burns, fractures and dislocations, and chest, head, and abdominal injury. It explains how to handle environmental problems posed by heat, cold, water, altitude, and poisonous plants and animals. Also discussed are issues related to expedition medicine as well as leadership, teamwork, and communication for rescue groups. While risk can be minimized through good judgment, skills, and experience, being prepared for emergencies in the wild is an essential component of good outdoor leadership.

This is the book I carry on long expeditions. I carry a little tiny book by Tilton on short trips, but on longer trips I like this book because it covers just about everything I know how to manage (I'm a WFR and I'm the local SAR Commander.)

Your best backcontry companion!.......2004-09-09

Even with some professional first aid training under my belt, this book gave me the confidence to trust in my abilities (in all types of situations). A must have on any backcountry trip!

Fabulous!.......2004-02-20

I have read different books on the topic of wilderness first aid, but this book is the best ever. Although hands on training can not replace any book, this book is a course by it self and will definitly help you through any course on the matter of wilderness first aid.
If you are serious about wilderness survival, this book will be of great value to you.
The level of this book is easy to read and very easy to understand for anybody. It is very obvious that they know what they are talking about.

Excellent intermediate/advanced resource.......2000-03-22

I read this after completing the American Red Cross Standard First Aid and Adult CPR courses. This book assumes some basic first-aid knowledge and takes you to the next step with a deeper level of material, specifically focused on wilderness first aid techniques. Traditional first aid courses and materials like those taught by ARC assume an urban setting where paramedics and hospitals are minutes away. This book is geared toward the care of patients where such help is hours or days away. It covers effective assessment, treatment and evacuation techniques, as well as assessing urgency of evacuation. Included is information on the frequency of various kinds of illness/injuries in the wilderness based upon years of experience at NOLS. In addition to the standard subjects like shock, soft tissue injuries, broken bones, venomous bites & stings, etc., it discusses diagnosis of difficult abdominal symptoms, gender-specific illnesses/injuries, and stress on the rescuer. The illustrations are clear and the text is highly readable. I recommend this book to any serious outdoor enthusiast or leader.

Phyllis Reynolds Naylor earned countless fans with the touching morality of Newbery Award-winning Shiloh and the laugh-out-loud realism of Achingly Alice. But aficionados may be surprised to find that Naylor's Sang Spell reads more like a haunting mystery. Grieving over the sudden death of his mother, Josh Vardy is reluctantly hitchhiking to Dallas (to begin a new life with his aunt), when he is mugged and left beside a remote mountain road. A woman driving a horse and cart takes him to a strange, fog-bound, primitive village, where there are no cars or telephones or electricity. The homespun villagers turn out to be a long-lost people of mixed ethnicity, called Melungeons. They accept Josh into their community, but will only answer his questions with evasiveness and enigmas. Mavis, a broad-shouldered young woman his own age, befriends Josh when he is put to work with the others gathering ginseng, a valuable root they refer to as "'sang" and trade once a year to Chinese merchants. Over and over again Josh tries to escape--by road and by river--but finds that somehow all routes lead back to this village that time has forgotten. When Josh finally joins in the villagers' rituals and celebrations, his feelings of despair about his own future begin to transform and heal. And after his loyalty to the Melungeons is tested, Josh finds that he is free at last to make the decision to leave. (Ages 11 to 15) --Patty Campbell

Book Description

trapped in a world that time forgot

Josh is hitchhiking his way from Massachusetts to Dallas and a new life he didn't ask for and doesn't want, when he is beaten, robbed, and abandoned beside a remote mountain road. He awakes in a strange, primitive village called Canara, seemingly hidden from the modern world, with no cars or telephones or electricity.

But are the people of Canara Josh's rescuers or his jailers? As he slowly heals from his injuries and the tragedy he has been running away from, Josh begins to realize that Canara is far stranger than just an isolated community passed over by time. How can hills and trees shift in place, and even buildings appear and then vanish? Why can't he escape from Canara? And does he really want to?

Awesome!!!!!!!!.......2007-10-13

This book was so good just when you thought you had it figured something else happened. This book was what I call a page turner. It ws sooooooooooooooo hard to put down. YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK

NOT a kid's review.......2007-04-09

I read this book about 3 years ago and LOVED IT. I was trying to think of books I've read in the past, and this book is still in my top 5. I don't remember the details very much, but I remember that I finished the book in three days, and that says a lot about it because I'm not a very good reader. I couldn't put it down!
Ever since, I've been looking for a book like this one; it kept me interested and eager to know what was going to happen next.

I recommend this book for younger and older readers. I'm going to read it again, I'm sure. =)

Did not enjoy it........2005-08-21

Ok, maybe it's because I'm 16 and therefore older than the usual readers of this book, but I didn't really like it. The reason I read it is because after doing some digging in my family history, I found out that I'm Melungeon. That's also another reason I didn't like this book. If these people are supposed to be from Virginia or around the area...where are their accents? The only trace of correct dialect was when they called ginseng 'sang'. Maybe she had them speak such perfect English because the book is intended for a younger audience but it still bothered me. And maybe if she had invented another group of people for this story, I wouldn't have been so affected by the idea that Melungeons are these 'magical' people in a completely different world. Which they aren't. They, or I should say 'we', are just normal human beings with an interesting past. So, anyway, if you're 10 years old, not from Virginia, and NOT Melungeon, then I'm sure you'll enjoy this book. As for me, it was a waste of time.

Aaron's Sang Spell Book Review 4 stars.......2005-02-10

I read the book, Sang Spell by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. The book was pretty good and is one of the best books I ever read. I liked the book because it is a book that takes place in a different world, Canara and it is about a boy my age. Sang Spell is about two-hundred pages long and has seventeen chapters. The book is about a boy named Josh Vardy who is hitchhiking to Dallas, Texas from Boston, Massachusetts. He is hitchhiking because his Mom was killed in a car accident and he is not living with his Dad. He is going to Dallas so he can live with his Aunt. He was supposed to take a hike in the Appalachian Mountains with one of his friends then go to Dallas. Instead, the hike was cancelled and he decided to hitchhike there so he would have something to talk about when he arrived at his new school. Josh was hitchhiking and a man beat him up when he didn't pay him for the ride. After he got beat up, the guy stole his four hundred dollars and his shoes, which were worth more than one hundred dollars. Josh still had the plane ticket to go to Dallas and some money he had in his front pocket. Josh had asked to go with a woman in a horse and buggy and she took him to Canara. Later, he found out when he was beaten up that his rib were broken. He has learned the town's customs and traditions. He worked for his food by doing chores and made friends with members of the village. Kaspar is trapped in Canara along with Josh and has many conflicts with Josh and even threatens to kill Josh if he doesn't help Kaspar get out of Canara. Josh wanted to go home and tried leaving but he couldn't find a way out. Read this excellent book and find out what happens to Josh and see if he makes it to Dallas. My favorite character was Josh because he went through lot of trouble and had a lot of action and conflicts with Kaspar.
