Book Description

The primary purpose of this proceedings is to look at a common body of water shared by Canada and the US and to summarize knowledge about the dynamics of this system with a primary focus of land use, water management, and bridging the gap between researchers and the public.

From the preface:

Lake Champlain spans two states, Vermont and New York, as well as two nations, the United States of America and Canada. Such a large body of water facing a wide variety of environmental stresses cannot be put on the path of restoration without the concerted efforts of motivated stakeholders. In order to be effective, however, these stakeholders must not only be dedicated to their own goals, but more importantly, be aware of, fully understand, and support the efforts of a myriad of other goals brought to the table by other dedicated groups. While easier said than done, Lake Champlain has and will continue to benefit from the cooperation and partnerships spanning international to local venues. This monograph represents the result of one of many partnerships between the United States and Canada; specifically the 2002 Spring Symposium sponsored by the Lake Champlain Research Consortium that was hosted by the Missisquoi Bay Watershed Corporation (Corporation Bassin Versant Baie Missisquoi) at the Fort Saint-Jean Campus, May 20-23, 2002. The focus of this meeting was to bring together a wide variety of stakeholders to not only learn about new developments and research in the basin, but to forge new and stronger bonds for future cooperation and management of this truly great lake.

Book Description

Barnett's Manual has become the industry standard, demystifying every aspect of bicycle repair by emphasizing detail, logic, and measurement. The manual, published in four volumes and printed on perforated, grease-resistant paper, can be used by both bike mechanics and the serious DIY-er. Each chapter is structured logically for maximum use: terminology, reasons for service, prerequisites, tool choices, anticipation of complications, fits and dimensions, service procedures, and troubleshooting. Extensive reference information minimizes the need to cross-reference to other sources when solving a repair problem, and the drawings on nearly every page help explain each procedure. This new, updated edition of the bible of bicycle repair also includes more than 1,000 clear and detailed drawings illustrating each procedure.

Excellent Manual.......2007-09-12

This guide covers all the basic and most advanced bicycle repair procedures. Graphics are instructive and clear. As opposed to other manuals it includes good trouble shooting and diagnostic sections. It includes indications, symptoms, maintenance cycles, tools, tool usage, complications, checklists, different types of parts--their specification and dimensions--and it goes on. The only irksome aspect is that after buying the latest print edition I was prompted to buy, at a similar price, the expanded DVD with the latest components. This is not fair.

wow.......2007-06-15

Very impressive. Unfortunately, I can't give it 5 stars because of the price, and the fact that it's a bit dated. Something like this should be on a subscription system, as new parts/procedures come out, pay a small fee and get the new/updated content.

Just what the cyclist ordered.......2007-01-10

Having recently started seriously doing my own work on my bicycle I find these books excellent. I already have the Haynes Bicycle manual which was a useful book to start with but I was looking for one that explained more than just how to make basic adjustments or simple component installations. I particularly like the detailed explanation in each chapter of how the various components on a bike work and the consequences of correct/incorrect adjustment or installation. The range of component types/brands covered in the books is also impressive. The books lean towards the text side of things (hence the 4 volumes) with many well drawn and clear diagrams which may not suit some people.

Detailed Maintenance Manual.......2006-11-04

This set of manuals provides detailed instructions for how to perform maintenance on your bike. I used this manual for instructions on how to build wheels and successfully built my first wheelset. The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow. If that is what you are looking for, you will not be disappointed.

This is not the newest edition.............2006-05-25

Be careful with this purchase, because, although the price
is good for the 4 volumes, it's the 5th edition, and not
the newest 6th edition!

I think the description of the item doesn't make this
clear at all, and some folks may be disappointed.

A handy source to use in Bali........2000-12-31

This book is a handy source for getting by speaking Bahasa Indonesia, the national language of Indonesia, and will serve you well if you go to Bali. In Bali, they speak Bahasa Bali and Bahasa Indonesia, and as I have read in Lonely Planet Bali & Lombok guidebook, apparently, Bahasa Indonesia is easier for the visitor to learn.

My husband and I used this book on our trip to Bali in April, and found it very useful. We pleased many Balinese by trying to speak in Bahasa Indonesia, instead of expecting them to speak English.

This is a very small book (126 pages, 3.5" x 5") and fits nicely in the pocket of the very lightweight clothing you will want to wear while in a hot, humid, tropical climate. The book is organized according to topics (food, taxi, shopping, emergencies etc.), rather than alphabetically like a dictionary, and we found the organization helpful when we really needed it, like when dealing with vendors or when going to a cafe. The only thing different that I would have liked to be added, is a small dictionary of Bahasa Indonesia at the back of the book to accompany the small English one. Although we were not at a loss without and Indonesian dictionary.

Selamat makan........2000-08-10

Selamat siang. Saya hanya tahu sedikit bahasa Indonesia. Dimana setasiun kereta api? Bagaimana jika kita makan pagi di warung ini? Saya mau beli kelambu. Terima kasih.

Small size gets high marks.......2000-06-14

This fit-in-your-pocket phrase book is nicely designed, and I really use it.

The grammar section alone outperforms bigger Behasa Indonesia language courses for simplicity and clear explanations.

Categories like "Getting Around" and "Food" are well organized, and it really is possible to find what phrase you are looking for, standing at the market in front of Mister Banana Seller, in a few seconds. Glossary is English to Behasa Indonesia only (and not the other way around).

Your Indonesian Language Survival Guide.......1998-02-28

Unfortunately Echols and Shadilly's two volume Indonesian dictionary is a little too bulky to carry when back-packing in Indonesia. On my first two visits to Indonesia I took the MIP Concise Indonesian Dictionary, which fits comfortably into a pocket, and it never really left my person. While I really like this dictionary (and will probably buy a copy of the new edition), with about 4000 entries in each section its limitations were always fairly obvious. For my most recent trip I bought a copy of Tuttle's Concise Indonesian Dictionary. With more than twice as many entries as the smaller dictionary, I expected this to be pretty solid. Most of the time it was, but there were a few problems: some words I expected to find - "swap" is one, "retribusi" is another - weren't included (though there is a somewhat obscure entry for "tank steamer"); there is an entry for "polemics" rather than for "polemic"; and explanation of meanings is limited, creating problems with polysemic words which even reverse lookup often fails to resolve. On the plus side, Tuttle's Dictionary just fitted into my trouser pocket, and its sturdy plastic cover is a godsend given the wear and tear of travel.

An interesting little reference book.......2006-04-26

With conversational Indonesian being quite simple, I was able to get a lot out of this little book. I used this book exclusively for about 3 weeks before travelling to Indonesia, and by the time I arrived I could produce simple sentences for travel purposes. The book doesn't provide you with any organized method of learning, but it does contain a grammar section that covers the basics, and after studying that section you can deduce a lot from the example sentences throughout the book. I tried to practice making new sentences by substituting words into the sentences given.

The topics are relevant to travel and basic conversation, and the example sentences are appropriate. I've also found the table of contents and glossary very easy to use, and they help me rapidly find the section I'm looking for. It's a well organized little reference book and I still use it even though I've continued my studies beyond the phrasebook level.

How can a small book like this contain so much?.......2005-03-07

How can a small book like this contain so much (that is actually useful)?

Amazing! This book doesn't teach you Indonesian, and that's not the purpose of the book either, but it goes very far in almost doing so.

I have an Indonesian friend, and she was impressed with the number of everyday and not so everyday situations covered in the book, besides being written by someone who really knows this foreign turf.

I can attest to the nearly indestructible cover. And it is small enough to fit in most shirt pockets.

If you already know some basic knowledge and/or understanding of Indonesian, this book will be of great help.

New and Improved.......2004-01-24

I was in Indo. recently and took with me an older version of this book, about 15 years older. It was less than half the size and was lacking in every way. There were even pagination mistakes. Anyway, enough about that.
I have a virtual library of LP phrasebooks and they are all good, which is more than I can say for their guidebooks, which vary tremendously in quality. LP phrasebooks are always more complete, better organized, and offer more important grammatical and clutural information than any other series. "Indonesian Phrasebook" is no exception.
Everything is easy to find, as long as it's in the book. It's also a nice size, has an attractive and indestructible cover and binding, and uses lots of fonts for ease of reading and information boxes about all kinds of stuff. I offers five sentences for gay travelers but only a page and a half on dating and romance. That's more than the Thai version, but the Latin American Spanish one puts it to shame with four pages. I guess they are just being culturally sensitive and don't want to turn a bunch of college students lose with too much? the first page of Dating and Romance gives you - You're beautiful. You're sexy, Let's make love. Do you have a condom? Out of this world! Can I stay? I'll call you. Do you want to be my girlfriend? and a few others. The next page then gives you four ways to say dammit! and then I leave tomorrow, I'll miss you, Let's keep in touch, and This relationship isn't appropriate. And that's it. Pretty lame, I thought. Where's all the sweet talk while you're spending time with him/her? I took off a star for that. Still, it's the best phrasebook there is.

A pretty good phrasebook.......2001-12-09

If you are going to Indonesia and you feel you need a language guide, but you are not inclined to study the language by means of a graduated text book, you might like to consider this. You do get a very limited section on how the language works (ie grammar) but not enough to be really useful. What you do get of great value are subject grouped word lists and phrases that even include some of the colloquial language that you will encounter whilst on your travels.
However, I believe that this little book grows in usefulness if you are studying/have studied the basic language and you need something to enlarge your vocabulary and boost your communication power in Bahasa Indonesia. The word lists can be a great help in filling in the gaps that some basic courses might necessarily have left in vocaublary while aiming to teach you to use the structures of the language. In this way, this phrasebook can be very useful.
An Indonesian friend of mine who saw the cultural information in the book said that the author has definitely spent a lot of time in the country and has really done his homework! Some language courses completely neglect cultural information while they are concentrating on language (such as "Colloquial Indonesian" by Routledge) so in addition to the extra vocabulary, the cultural inforamtion you find here could really make a difference to your trip, as it is very easy for an unsuspecting westerner to make cultural gaffs and end up looking "sombong".
In short, if you just want a travel phrasebook and cultural guide, then this is a good choice.

Book Description

Beautiful artwork created by Earl and Carol Marshall of the Disney Studios graces the pages of Babes in Toyland. Based on the operetta by Victor Herbert and Glenn McDonough, Babes in Toyland tells the story of Tom Piper and Mary Contrary, who travel to Toyland one day on October to help the Toymaker make toys for Christmas. When Grumio, the Toymakers well-meaning but technologically inept assistant, invents a toy-making machine, this seemingly perfect solution turns out to be a perfect disaster, and its up to our heroes to help save the holiday.
