From the supplier: Ault Foods Ltd in Canada developed Dairy-Lo, a whey protein ingredient that improves the texture of low-fat frozen desserts. It is already being marketed in Canada, where products using the ingredient took 3% of the market within one year. It acts as a stabilizer and water controller and thus causes a diminution of shrinkage and ice crystal formation. Pfizer Food Science Group will market the product in the US.

From the supplier: Holland Dairies Inc introduced 'Tasty Sips', a new line of four juice products and three flavored milk products packaged in eight-ounce clear, flexible film, single-serve pouches. Single serve pouches have been used in school milk program for several years. In 1991 Holland introduced milk in 1/2 gallon pouches to the retail market and sees the introduction of smaller sized pouches to the public as a logical step. The pouches, made of linear low-density polyethylene are also recyclable and reduce packaging source materials.

From the supplier: Survey reveals that 78% of Israelis are ignorant of sorbets while 69% do not know about frozen yogurt. In addition to competition, frozen sorbet and yogurt producers have to contend with the Israeli public's lack of knowledge of frozen confectionery products other than ice cream and novelties. Low-fat and diet products constitute only 16% of Israel's frozen dessert market. Israelis are more familiar with yogurt than sorbets because Strauss Dairies has launched frozen yogurt years ago.

Wildlife in Texas - a losing battle?.......2007-03-31

From the cover: Doughty uses letters, journals, and travel accounts to show the early attitudes toward the uses of indigenous birds and mammals of Texas. Surviving on nature's bounty and remorselessly exterminating her threats - wolves, cougars, and other wily critters - settlers exploited Texas' pristine fecundity. Some species benefited from disturbed environments - others were unable to adjust to human presence and disappeared. By the 1880s concern about the diminishing numbers of many preferred species led to enactment of game laws and other efforts to protect and manage wildlife. Today, Doughty argues, habitat change is the most pressing issue confronting conservationists.

The Best Backpacking/Hiking Manual Out There!.......2007-08-28

Simply put, the first edition was great and the revise editions just keeps everything up to date. This is a great book, a must for any serious backpacker or wilderness leader. Highly Recommended!

Excellent if you don't stray too far from civilization.......2007-07-25

A distinction must be made between "outdoor" books that assume that your trip into the wilderness happens in the context of a working civil society, i.e. you buy food at the store, you have your tent, your map, maybe a GPS, and if you are in trouble a competent attempt will be made to rescue you. Then there are the "survival" books which assume that if you don't do "it" (gather food, build a shelter, find water, etc.) yourself, it ain't gonna happen. Maybe you can get help, but maybe other humans even pose a danger to your life, perhaps because of violent behavior, stupidity, clumsiness, or for whatever reason.

This book falls mainly into the first category, but makes interesting forays into the second. Perhaps the strongest impression is left by the First Aid section (which is also the longest). If you are really in an emergency, in which case you will definitely not have the time to read five pages on the Heimlich maneuver or whatever, this is probably the book you should pick up in a hurry. Of course ideally, you should know the content of the section by rote, but the descriptions are short yet detailed enough that they can be read quickly and confer all the vital information. A variety of more obscure illnesses are included that you will probably not find covered in other First Aid texts.

The nutrition section is quite short and the recipes are probably not something you would want to eat every day -- burritos, pizza, pesto. Don't expect any information on game, edible berries or the like...

A number of good sections cover such things as crossing a river or bearproofing your camp. These are well-written and stress the importance of understanding the situation first before acting. Along the same lines, there is an extensive review of leadership skills -- this is definitely an outdoor book for the thinking man.

All in all a thorough book, but if you are in situation where help does not arrive after a short while, it might not be enough. The SAS Survival Handbook: How to Survive in the Wild, in Any Climate, on Land or at Sea would be an excellent complement to this book and nicely covers those things which the BFM leaves out.

Solid Backpacking.......2007-05-26

I have Backpacking since the 1960s and yes an old dog can learn new tricks. Sometimes it is good to review our old habits. This is one of those good uptodate Backpacking books.

Good All-Around Book.......2007-01-27

The Backpacker's Field Manual is probably one of the better introductory books out there. Not only that, but it has valuable information for even the most experienced backpacker. It is layed out fairly well, and written in a fairly straightforward manner.

The biggest downside I see is the author's ideas of Leave No Trace camping, which seem to be taken to an extreme (the author says that one should scatter sticks, pinecones, and such over your campsite after you break camp so as to look like no one has been there). While this is, in my opinion, a backpacking style difference, it was enough of an issue for me to drop it down from a five star to a four star.

Not only that, but the author is primarily interested in sharing tradional (heavy) backpacking advice, with little to offer the lightweight of ultralight backpacker. Still, some of the techniques mentioned are excellent advice for any backpacker and the section on first aid is very detailed.

While this book is called a field manual, I would leave it at home due to the weight of this book. That said, it's definately one I feel every backpacker should have at home!

Good starter.......2007-01-09

This is an excellent book for the new hiker or the veteran. I would highly recommend it to any Boy Scout group as a supplement to BSA material. I actually used the land navigation portion to teach my Infantry Platoon, because it was better than the Army Common Task Manual. You cannot lose with this book.

This is not a slim compendium of bold-faced hiking tips; in other words, if you come face-to-face with Mr. Bear on the trail, you won't be whipping out The Backpacker's Field Manual for quick advice. On the other hand, if you take the time to plan your excursions into the wilderness, this thorough guide will prove invaluable. From packing to navigation to first aid, all the basics of backcountry travel are covered in detail. And for the more serious outdoors enthusiasts, there is plenty of advanced info, such as how to read weather patterns or where to look for underground water sources. But no matter what their skill level, anyone planning on spending time in the wilderness should prepare ahead with a guide like The Backpacker's Field Manual.

Book Description

The Backpacker's Field Manual has been the bible of the Princeton University Outdoor Action Program for more than a decade, field-tested by one of the most respected outdoor programs in the country. It is the most comprehensive backpacking guide available--broad in scope while still focused on the essential skills and information that backpackers need to travel safely and comfortably in the wilderness. Backpackers of all levels will find this book indispensable:
before you start your trip, for deciding on an itinerary, selecting equipment, and figuring out what food, clothing, and other supplies to pack;
once you're out in the wilderness, for choosing a campsite, setting up camp, navigating with map and compass, identifying trees and plants, and preparing meals (recipes included!);
if something unexpected happens, for finding a lost person, seeking shelter in a lightning storm, and performing first aid for common injuries.

More than 100 line drawings illustrate such useful skills as how to set up a tarp, repair your stove, wrap an injured ankle, predict the weather, and much more. And scattered throughout are Tricks of the Trail, additional tips for successful backcountry hiking.

Any traveler knows that space in a backpack is limited, so on your next trip, pack the only guide you'll need--this one.

Always "don't," never "do.".......2004-06-19

After I read this book, I felt the wilderness could never be fun again. I was completely wrong, but that's the tone this book has. The entire book tells you what not to do and what could go wrong. That's very important to know, but what is almost as important (and a lot more interesting) are things to do: suggestions about how to make things easier, how to have fun, how to bring the love of the outdoors to other members of your group.

The good: There were a couple good ideas in among the mind-numbing numbers of admonitions (damp socks in sleeping bag: genius). Also, the packing lists at the end of the book can be good reminders.

As far as I can tell, it's good for a very small class of people: complete beginners who will find all the rules to be new, but are so excited about backpacking that they won't be turned off by the boring, pessimistic book. Personally, I learned just as much from the much shorter section of tips in the beginning of Backpacking California, even though I had not backpacked a whole bunch before reading either.

For Beginners Only.......2003-10-23

If you are new to backpacking and the backcountry, then this is probably the book for you as it has a little information on just about every backpacking subject imaginable. If you have moderate to extensive experience backpacking then you will probably find the information in this book very basic. I have moderate experience and I plowed through about half the book before I permanently set it down out of boredom.

Too many rules.......2003-03-18

I agree with a previous poster that said:

"Yet Mr. Curtis' unconventional and sometimes bizarre brand of rules quickly begin to irritate even the most patient reader. Most troubling are his one-sided views of camping and how it is supposed to be done. quickly, the book becomes a turn-off to backpacking."

My views are that ...

This book is a book of rules. Way too many rules. A couple thousand rules it seems.
Not much in the way of original thinking. Decent sections for group leaders.
First Aid and Navigating sections are decent but I prefer separate books
for these issues.

Phenomenal.......2002-08-02

Curtis has written a true gem. This book will get any novice on his or her feet within the time it takes to read the book. The book is comprehensive in breadth and is quite detailed without getting too cut-and-dried (or maybe I just find the subject matter too interesting =-P). Clearly, the author knows what to cover and to what extent -- there's something to be said for a man who, as the head of the Princeton Outdoor Action, must get a lot of contact with people new to backpacking. Even somewhat experienced backpackers will be able to gain much useful information from this book, particularly from such unusual topics as reading and predicting the weather. Additionally, Curtis' almost die-hard approach to true leave-no-trace backpacking is quite appealing to me -- it only takes a few careless or reckless people before a previously pristine location is ruined for weeks or even months. All in all, this is *the* must-get guide to backpacking. It's comprehensive, adequately detailed (1/4 to 1/3 of the book is dedicated to first aid!) and, best of all, reasonably cheap! =-)

All around FANTASTIC resource.......2001-09-15

This book covers everything that a general backpacker needs to know about hiking and camping. The few things the author doesn't cover (great detail about hiking specific specialized terrain, for example), he lists additional resources for. This book is well-written and clearly organized, and includes wilderness first aid, cooking and menu-planning, navigation, how to pack a backpack comfortably, how to select gear, and where to go for more information. There is much more included in the book, including stories from the author's own experience, and some information about ultralight backpacking. Especially valuable is the detailed information about leading a group into the wilderness, how to send out a search party, how to signal for help in all environments, and how to ensure that everyone in a group is comfortable.

I've seen many other similar books, and none provide the excellent level of detail that this book provides. I recommend it most highly.

Book Description

Non-lawyers are likely to be intimidated by the rows of books in any law library-but laypersons can often profit by doing needed legal research for themselves. Here's a user-friendly volume that will help them find their way through the complexities of law. Each chapter addresses a different legal issue and shows how to go about researching it. Helpful hints throughout the book give practical tips on conducting a thorough research project.

Not What I thought.......2005-08-14

As a student starting law school I thought that this book would give me an advantage in my legal research and writing class, boy was wrong... The book is full of useful information but none that realy pertains to law student. It is however, very basic in its approach and gives you a good start, so it is not a total waste.., The subtitle says that the book is for "non-lawyers", as if somewhere out there is a person who is not a lawyer and finds legal research fun. my recomendation is, that if you want a brief explanation of legal research and how to do it so that you are not totaly lost when you start law school this is a good book, but if you need it for some legal purpose and you are not a law student call a lawyer, trust me it is well worth the fees. Among the books flaws is that it tells you where to go to get the information but neglects to tell you that the resources they list, in the case of Lexis-Nexis and West Law require very expensive memberships and that most Law Schools restrict the use of their Law Library to students in their Law School and do not even allow students from the affiliated university to use the Law Library, as the Law Students in attendence at the law school require all of the resources of the Library and Legal Librarian ad nauseum and outsiders are most unwelcome.

The Best Introduction to the Topic.......2001-11-15

This book covers all the fundamentals in an engaging way. Very readable but not overly simplified either. It explained some "legalese" that I had never been able to understand and gave me new insights into our legal system. Highly recommended.
