Book Description

Pesticides provide myriad benefits but present a variety of risks. With definitive policies and requirements for pesticide review before a product enters the marketplace, with clear and precise labeling, and with good consumer education, however, pesticides can play an important role in maintaining the quality of life we enjoy. The Complete Book of Pesticide Management describes the step-by-step process by which industry and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reach a consensus on the relative risk that pesticides pose to people, wildlife, and water.

While most books only skim the risk assessment process or are too technical for practical application, The Complete Book of Pesticide Management is at once technically sound and easy to understand. Fred Whitfords authoritative text links scientific information developed from pesticide testing programs with the safety and precautionary language commonly found on product labels. It describes how to communicate pesticide benefits and risks to the public and provides information on how to select pesticides and protect the professionals handling these chemicals. Risk assessment and risk communication are emphasized throughout. Contents include:

The Evolution of Pesticide Regulations: The Shift from Benefits to Risks
Epidemiology: Validating Human Risk Assessments
Pesticide Labels: The Convergence of Science, Public Policy, and User Responsibility
Environmental Site Assessments: Managing the Facility Against Contamination
Planning for Emergencies: Preventing and Reacting to Emergencies in the Workplace
Educating the Community and the Workforce About Hazardous Chemicals

Engineers, scientists, toxicologists, industrial hygienists, and extension and commercial application industry professionals, as well as students of these fields, will find The Complete Book of Pesticide Management to be an indispensable resource.

Out in deepest space lurks a force of almost unimaginable power. .......2007-09-05

Explosions of extraordinary violence, are blasting through the Universe every day. If one ever struck our Solar System it would destroy our Sun and all the planets. For years no one could work out what was causing these awesome explosions. Now Maurice van Putten and other elite scientists think they have identified the culprit. It's the most extreme object ever found in the Universe; they have christened it a 'hypernova'. For decades scientists were baffled. Especially disturbing was evidence that these explosions might be coming from the furthest reaches of the Universe, billions of light years away. If this was so, then for us to see them on Earth they had to be on a scale that was beyond our comprehension. According to some, these explosions were so huge that they might even violate the most sacred law in all science: Einstein's famous equation relating mass and energy, E=mc². That law underpins nothing less than our understanding of how our Universe works.

It was not until 1997, when a satellite pinpointed the exact location of these bursts, that scientists began to solve the puzzle. It seems these huge explosions are caused by the death throws of stars twenty times the size of our Sun, which burn themselves out and explode, creating hypernovae. What then unfolded was a chain of events, which would ultimately point towards some of the most exotic wonders in the Universe: stellar nurseries (where new stars are born) and black holes. Observations show that--instead of fading away, as an explosion might be expected to--radiation continues to emerge from the area of a hypernova. This ongoing emission is characteristic of the process of star birth. Astronomers conclude that the hypernova grows rapidly along with other normal stars in a nursery, but burns out when its contemporaries are still in their infancy. Find a hypernova, and you have also tracked down a part of space where stellar synthesis is underway.

Book Description

This illustrated environmental history of rural life in Northern England and the Scottish Borders in the late medieval and early modern periods explores the relationship between society and the environment -- the ways in which humans responded to and used the environment in which they lived. The author uses the orders and bylaws made by manorial courts to build up a picture of how pastoral society in the Pennine, Lake District and Border hills husbanded the resources of the uplands. It offers an upland, pastoral paradigm of land use, the management of common land, and the transition from medieval to early-modern farming systems to balance the extensive literature on the agrarian history of the lowlands. The geographical scope of the book includes the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, the Border hills, the North Pennines and the Forest of Bowland. Through a lively text and carefully selected illustrations the author captures the distinctive local culture of traditional pastoral communities in these much visited areas of Britain.

The Book Titles Says it All.......2006-03-11

This book gives a very complete lesson on ski prep. It is easy to read and well indexed, serving as a shelf reference when needed. The wording is descriptive enough, but for the true beginner, illustrations are lacking. If you get a chance to observe someone else actually go through the procedure of ski prep, this book will complement your lesson extremely well.

Best Book on Cross-Country Ski Preparation on the Market".......2005-03-02

I noticed your ad in a recent issue of Cross Country Skier and decided to check your website out. As a result thereof, I ordered through Amazon your book.

After more than 50 years of cross country skiing experience, I can honestly say yours is the best book on this subject which I have ever read. I found your text extremely interesting and informative. You really know your stuff!

I thought that I knew a point or two after taking the Swix waxing course, but I have now learned that I am still only an amateur when it comes to waxing to perfection.

Hope we met some day! Good waxing!

Richard W. Montague, Ebenhausen, Bavaria, Germany

Complete but lacking.......2001-10-19

It's a good book but it assumes you now the basics of ski waxing. I was trying to obtain a book to learn how to wax skis,and I am still looking. It's worth buying for the advanced procedures covered but you will have to find another book to learn how to "wax skis".

Great book of ski preparation.......2001-02-12

The book is for all people in cross country skiing, not only for trainers, also for competitors, for every serviceman and for all amateurs. Only someone who has such a experiances from his work can write a book with knowledge for all. Or like Peter Hale wrote:" Since few skiers can just walk into a World cup or Olympic waxroom to see what's going on, this book is the next best think." I think that all we working in CC skiing can say just:" Thank you Nat for such a great present!"

It's the best practical book of cross country skiing I've ever read.

The Wax guide........2000-08-24

This is really the only waxing book for serious skiers. Perhaps a bit much for a novice. Given evolving waxing technology the reader will have to also read the latest wax company literature to stay up to date.

Any book that can give voice to the voiceless should be celebrated. No one feels this more strongly than Wally Lamb, editor of Couldn't Keep It to Myself, a collection of stories by 11 women imprisoned in the York Correctional Institution in Connecticut. Teacher and novelist Lamb was invited to head a writing workshop at York Correctional Institution in 1999. His somewhat reluctant acceptance soon turned into steadfast advocacy once the women in his charge began to tell their stories. Lamb maintains that there are things we need to know about prison and prisoners: "There are misconceptions to be abandoned, biases to be dropped." However, as heartfelt as his appeal is, nothing speaks more convincingly in this book than the stories themselves.

Those collected here are disturbing and horrific. They reveal, often in graphic detail, the worst kind of abuse: incest, drug addiction, spousal violence, parental neglect, or incompetence. They're also testimony to what social workers and health care professionals have confirmed for years--that those who populate our prisons are often victims first themselves. Thus, the telling of these stories serves as a form of therapy. They are also sad accounts of the brutalities many suffer, yet few discuss: "One day I figured out a dying little girl lived inside of me, so I threw her a lifeline in the form of paper and pen." Considering the degradation the contributors have experienced both in and outside prison, the courage, candor, and honesty with which they speak truly make these stories, as difficult as they are to read, "victories against voicelessness--miracles in print." --Silvana Tropea

Book Description

In a stunning work of insight and hope, New York Times bestselling author Wally Lamb once again reveals his unmatched talent for finding humanity in the lost and lonely and celebrates the transforming power of the written word.

For several years, Lamb has taught writing to a group of women prisoners at York Correctional Institution in Connecticut. In this unforgettable collection, the women of York describe in their own words how they were imprisoned by abuse, rejection, and their own self-destructive impulses long before they entered the criminal justice system. Yet these are powerful stories of hope and healing, told by writers who have left victimhood behind.

In his moving introduction, Lamb describes the incredible journey of expression and self-awareness the women took through their writing and shares how they challenged him as a teacher and as a fellow author. Couldn't Keep It to Myself is a true testament to the process of finding oneself and working toward a better day.

Customer Reviews:

Never stereotype.......2007-09-11

After reading this book, we have to be reminded that not everyone in prison is a bad person, although all have done bad things. All of the stories were heartwrenching, but one of the most disturbing was Diane Bartholomew's. What she must have endured during her marriage to an physical, mental and sexual abuser. These stories were haunting and very moving. We all have a testimony, but these women shared them with all who would read them. Powerful reading.

Fantastic Book.......2007-08-29

I am an avid reader and belong to a book club so I have read many good books but this was one of the best. I liked the author's previous book, She's Come Undone, so I knew his work when I purchased this one. It was lengthy, 891 pages, but it carried me along until the last page was read. Good writing and good storytelling made this a powerful essay on human strengths and weaknesses.

People-stories and the humanity behind their writing (despite some official hounds of persecution).......2007-06-09

We need more often to be reminded that people whom we stereoptype/label/classify are actually persons, looking for their lives to be lived long after we (amateur social analysts, all) have made our judgments and assigned others to categories that we can either dismiss or simply feel superior to. Wally Lamb and his hard-working partners have brought us vibrant humanity between book covers. Real-life experiences in skillful language. Nice job!

Great Book Couldn't Put IT Down.......2007-05-15

I really enjoyed this book. It gave a lot of insight into the lives of imprisoned women before there incarceration and afterwards. Changed my outlook on those imprisoned not only by their incarceration but by their lives.

This book was absolutely amazing.......2007-04-28

This book was wonderful. Very inspiring, sad, and amusing at the same time. I would recommend it to anyone.

Book Description

This is a reprint of the 1903 edition -- now in the public domain. It is a classic in the study of the Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC). The KGC was a highly secret organization started shortly before the Civil War for purposes of uniting the southern U.S., Mexico and certain nearby lands to exploit the economic resources in the golden circle which was a 1200 mile circle with Havana as the center. This circle had abundance of natural resources and slave or near slave labor. When the CW started the tactics changed, but the eventual goal remained the same --a fascinating study.
