A great group opener or closer.......2001-11-29

This book has many different types of exercises for any group to relax and get going or to end on a relaxing note. A must have for any presenter or group facilitator.

Book Description

This is the first book devoted specifically to the problem of light scattering and absorption by inhomogeneous and anisotropic spherical particles. Unlike other books in the field, Electromagnetic Scattering in Disperse Media pays considerable attention to various aspects of light absorption inside particles, including internal field distributions, MDR resonances, and absorption in restricted regions inside particles. It contains many results (and more than 100 figures) computed for polydisperse particle systems and algorithms and provides the possibility to use them (web site). Although the main emphasis is given to optical properties of atmospheric aerosol, the book also deals with many other practical applications involving inhomogeneous and anisotropic particles.

Natural History/Regional

The classic account of human impact on this vast wilderness area, now back in print by popular demand!

Along the Minnesota-Ontario border, in the days of voyageurs, tall trees were used as guideposts in the uncharted wilderness to help fur traders and explorers find their way through the maze of lakes and portages. Branches were cut, leaving the middle of the tree bare with branches above and below. Clifford and Isabel Ahlgren, two of the most knowledgeable ecologists of the area, use nine native trees to serve as lob trees for this book, an ecological history of human activity in the Quetico-Superior wilderness area.

"A fine, perceptive exploration. . . The wilderness is the Boundary Canoe Area of northern Minnesota, and 'lob trees' are used as a poetic way to link the results of historical and ecological research in this setting. This is a well-illustrated book, built to be carried in hand or pack, as one travels through the lands under discussion." The Canadian Field-Naturalist

"A remarkable book that is well researched, well illustrated, and well written." Inland Seas

"There is no one more qualified than the Ahlgrens to describe the ways human beings have affected the forest of this area." Journal of Forest History

Clifford and Isabel Ahlgren have retired from forest ecology after working many years at the Wilderness Research Foundation in Ely, Minnesota.

Classic Naturalist Writing - Astute and Readable.......2006-10-20

When you arrive at your entry point in the Boundary Waters, put your canoe into the water and paddle across that peripheral lake to the first portage, you see yourself immersed in a pristine wilderness, largely untrammeled by human influences. Guess again. For all its beauty and grandeur, human influences are evident throughout the wilderness: from the herbaceous species you'll see on portages; to remnant patches of landscape plants where outfitters had their cabins; to red pine stands planted by old timber operations; to the changes in forest composition brought about by earlier logging and suppression of natural wildfires.

And it didn't start with the white man. Ahlgren's book illuminates the earlier influences from Native American tribes, first the Cree and Sioux, then the Ojibwe. He explains why different tribes succeeded each other in populating this area, and how their different ways of life affected their use of the land and their relationships with Europeans. The era of the voyageur fur traders, as it affected early settlement and resource use, is also covered.

The result is a fascinating history of human influences in a beloved wilderness, influences both faint and profound. It manages to be both philosophical and practical. It will invigorate your perception of wilderness.

Ahlgren has a scope of knowledge that allows him to distil volumes of research into a concise, readable, even poetic book. It is constructed around the theme of lob trees -- shoreline trees that were pruned just below the crown, to help the voyageurs in navigation. Ahlgren uses a different species of tree common in these sub-boreal forests to guide us through the voyage of understanding human influence in the Boundary Waters: jack pine introduces the chapter on fire disturbance; birch introduces a chapter focusing on Native Americans; white pine is the lob tree for timber, white spruce for pulpwood. This well-integrated thematic approach puts it in line with other classic naturalist writings such as Aldo Leopold's _A Sand County Almanac_.

Naturalist writing isn't just about bringing science to the masses. It's about sharing an appreciation of special places and phenomena -- appreciation in the sense of understanding and in the sense of valuing. As an exemplary contribution to this genre, this book should be of great interest to anyone who loves wilderness and wants to hone their vision when entering natural settings.

A must read for any prospective Snowboarder.......2004-01-12

I usually don't bother reviewing, but this book is exceptional!
I got it (and about 4 other Snowboarding books, which were too long and intimidating) when I started learning how to snowboard.
This book gave me all the basic moves and techniques I needed to get on the slopes and make the most out of the two classes I took. By the third time on the snow I was turning, carving and feeling great about my progress.

Concise and easy to understand, highly recommended, Don't bother with any other book!

Doug Warner is awesome!.......2000-08-14

Poor Richard's Almanack.......2007-09-30

Love this book. I am a fan of Benjamin Franklin. He is so witty and thoughtful. I also like Henry David Thoreau.

Ben's wisdom.......2007-03-23

Ben's wisdom (or interpretation) are unmistakeable. Wonderful to look at inside and out.

Ben. Franklin humor.......2007-02-21

Relatively short book filled with wit and brief advice (comments) on a variety of topics, definately a lighter and easier style than the autobiography and with more humor.

PoorRichards Almanack.......2007-02-13

Timeless. I read at least a page a day and when I get to the end, start again.

American Classic Must Read for All.......2007-02-11

Benjamin Franklin was a genius and a Renaissance Man. All of these sayings are wise and many are funny. I think this should be required reading for everyone in junior high or high school.
