Description:
Nitrogen (N) fertilization has become a basic component of short-rotation woody biomass plantation management. This study was conducted to examine N leaching losses from 7-year-old cottonwood (Populus deltoids Marsh.) and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations treated with repeated N fertilization for seven years. We also wanted to establish an optimal N fertilization rate, which would yield acceptable tree growth with minimal groundwater contamination. The plantations were located in northwest Florida on a well-drained, Redbay sandy loam (a fine-loamy, siliceous, thermic Rhodic Paleudlt). N fertilizer was applied through a drip irrigation system with rates of 0, 56, 112 and 224kgNha^-^1 per year. We collected soil water samples monthly from June 2001 through May 2002 using tension lysimeters installed at 30 and 120cm soil depths for analyzing NO"3-N, and NH"4-N. The concentration data were incorporated with drainage data from LEACHN model simulation for estimating the amount of N leaching losses. Annual mean nitrate-N concentrations at 120cm depth under cottonwood were 0.5, 7.4, 14.1, and 37.7mg NO"3-NL^-^1 and under loblolly pine were 1.0, 10.2, 30.3, and 50.7mg NO"3-NL^-^1 for 0, 56, 112, and 224kgNha^-^1 per year treatments, respectively. Estimated N leaching losses were not different between species, however, increasing N fertilization rate above 56kgNha^-^1 per year increased N leaching without benefits to tree growth in both species.

Book Description
More than two centuries have elapsed since the story of the interacting binary stars began with the rediscovery of the variability of Algol by John Goodricke and the interpretation he proposed for explaining the regular periodic brightness variations which he found. Over this long span of time our knowledge about these systems has been growing, and we have now reached a fairly good understanding of the structure and behavior of this interesting group of objects. This book contains a timely summary of our present knowledge of interacting binary stars. The chapters have been written by distinguished scientists who have done relevant research in the field of interacting binary stars.

Common Spiders of the United States.......2002-04-02
This was a great book in 1902 - the first popular spider guide by someone who knew what he was talking about. Unfortunately, the publishers who reprinted the book never updated its contents. Dover editions contain exactly one page of new material - a "key to families" by an insect specialist (spiders are not insects) which is guaranteed to lead beginners wrong. Now, 100 years after Emerton wrote, essentially every spider species he discussed is known by a different name. The natural-history information, while largely correct, is also 100 years out of date. An arachnologist who already knows the current names of Emerton's spiders can still make use of his excellent drawings and photos, but an interested layperson will only be misled, and would be better off with something more current, such as Levi's "Spiders and their Kin." Incidentally, the reason there are no common names in the book is that 95% of spiders have none!
Common Spiders of the U.S........2000-05-14
This is a fairly decent reference guide for the more scientific minded reader. The book is full of detailed sketches of spiders, their pieces and their parts.The book falls short, however, in its lack of color photos and its propensity for being altogether too technical. Most people only know spiders by their common names (ie. Black widow- Latrodectus Mactans), so figuring out what your looking at may be difficult while using this book. Saying that, I would recommend the text for spider enthusiasts.

Book Description
The core of John Forester's concept of Effective Cycling is that bicyclists fare best when they act, and are treated in return, as drivers of vehicles, with the same rights and responsibilities that motorists have.
In this new edition of his classic introductory work, Forester reasserts this idea in terms of practice and education as well as theory while also addressing--among much else--the two major forces that have shaped bicycling since the early 1980s: the proliferation of high-quality equipment and the seriously insufficient progress on the social, political, and psychological fronts.
The book is filled with details, strategies, and tips that will be useful both to occasional cyclists and to those who enjoy cycling as a way of life--all drawn from the author's many years of experience as a cyclist, a Cycling Transportation Engineer, and the founder of the Effective Cycling Program.

Excellent Resource for Riders.......2006-07-17
I recently started commuting to work via bicycle. The only route I can take is quite busy, so I started out by riding on the sidewalks and nervously dodging all the cars turning right in front of me. The sidewalks were covered in trash and debris, and I had to maneuver around pedestrians too. After reading Effective Cycling, I ride in the street, with more confidence and fewer problems, and I arrive at work much faster. I highly recommend Effective Cycling for anyone who regularly rides his/her bike in an urban setting or wishes to.
Good advice backed up by good analysis.......2005-05-20
John Forester not only defined and developed the system of scientifically-based instruction in traffic cycling; he compiled and analyzed the data to back up his recommendations. This book provides not only the instruction, but the background information, and so it is a valuable reference in advocacy. Many cyclists report that this book transforms their style of riding, just as a good course in water safety changes fear of the water into confident knowledge. That was this reviewer's experience.
Forester's position is fundamentally libertarian. He asks for no special favors for cyclists, but rather, he argues for the right to the road, and against laws that infringe on it and endanger cyclists. Forester is usually correct about such issues, but some readers find the argumentative sections tiresome.
On a few questions about cycling equipment, Forester's positions appear to be intended more to prevent legal trouble for cyclists than to recommend the most prudent course of action: for example, he does not recommend rear-view mirrors, and he considers a large rear reflector sufficient for night riding without an additional taillight.
Readers who prize elegantly-turned prose will find Forester's writing a joy. Few authors use the English language with such care and precision, and particularly not in instructional material.
A godsend: how to ENJOY cycling safely in traffic!.......2004-12-03
I found this book to be nothing short of a godsend. With over 30 years of cycling experience, I felt comfortable and competent cycling in traffic, at least in most circumstances. But this book was recommended so many times, I decided to read it anyway. At first, it didn't seem like a big deal. It all made sense, and seemed to describe how I already rode, perhaps with a few subtle differences.
But as I began to incorporate these subtle changes in my own riding the results were amazing. My relationship with car drivers completely changed. Instead of interacting with them once in a while -- only when necessary -- I became an integrated participant with the rest of traffic.
It is impossible to explain in words how just subtle lane positioning changes, and a new attitude, can make such a radical difference in one's cycling experience in traffic. But consider what Forester conveys in this simple statement: "Between intersections, position yourself according to speed; at intersections, position yourself according to destination". You may think you do this already, but based on the fact that I almost never see any cyclists do this consistently, I can almost assure you that you don't. And I'm not talking about kids and "recreational cyclists". I'm talking about experienced commuters, and experienced club riders and racers. Only a very small percentages of cyclists actually behave like a (slow) vehicle driver consistently. Much of the time on the road is spent in space "left over" by motorists, riding too far to the right, not positioning at intersections according to destination (THINK about what that means), etc. etc.
"Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles" - John Forester
This book is for you if any of the following is true:
* You want to learn to LOVE to ride your bike in traffic, not just tolerate it.
* You're tired of motorists passing you and then cutting you off when they turn in front of you, or motorists coming from the other direction cutting you off when they turn in front of you (believe it or not, if you read this book you will learn how to stop them from ever doing this to you again!).
* You are comfortable riding in bike lanes passing stopped or slow car traffic on their right.
* You think that you should assume that you're invisible to motorists, and ride accordingly.
* You don't think you should position yourself away from the edge of the road, often in the path of motorists coming from behind, in order to be more visible and predictable.
* You don't feel safe riding in traffic.
* Your greatest fear is that you will be hit from the rear.
* You don't know that almost all bike-car collisions are caused by, or could have been prevented, by the cyclist.
* You feel safer riding on shoulders and in bike lanes than "out" in the regular traffic lanes.
* You're rusty on what the laws are regarding cycling.
* You believe the best thing that can be done for cycling is building more bike lanes and bike paths.
* You've never taken any courses on cycling in traffic (like LAB's Road 1 course - see bikeleague.org).
* You don't believe cyclists have the same rights on the road as do motor vehicle drivers.
* You ride on the side of the road opposing traffic (like a pedestrian should walk).
* You ride on sidewalks.
* You value your life and want to ride your bike accordingly.
This is not the perfect book. Forester does tend to ramble, and some of the advice I don't agree with (like you don't really need a rear light at night, just a rear red reflector and a good front light). Also, some of the material, like on equipment and racing, is dated. But the chapters on riding in traffic are timeless and priceless, and so TRANSFORMATIONAL that they alone make this a 5-star book.
For home bike mechanics and cycling activists alike.......2003-11-19
This book has some of the best information out there about cycle commuting. If everyone used Forester's techniques and advice, I'm sure cycling accidents and fatalities would decrease. The fact that cyclists aren't respected is because we let ourselves be intimidated by not only other motorists, but our own misunderstanding of the law. There was a day when I once hoped for a utopia where cyclists were treated with respect-but this day may never come, and now we must assert our rights as best we can. Living in American can be trying for cyclists . . . Although Forester's advice on racing can generally be scanned through (if you are serious about it), his chapter on wheel building is amazingly thorough and has helped me build up dozens of wheels. It is the best out there for beginning to intermediate wheel builders-certainly better that Jobst Brandt's book. Highly recommended.
This book probably saved my life.......2003-06-11
This is it -- the bible you need if you're going to be a cycle commuter, or just someone who rides more than 10 miles on a weekend. JF takes you the next step from simply pedal pushing, puts you in the league of pedal "twirling", and shows you how to:
1. Be a vehicular cyclist (ride on the road with cars without getting killed, honked off the road or intimidated.)
2. Ride on "longer" trips -- more than the few miles you can do without any clue -- by eating right, drinking right, and pedalling right.
3. Cycle commute, and enjoy doing so -- what you need and what you don't.
4. Basic repair and maintenance.
and, most importantly, how to "grow" as a cyclist. There are so many things that I know instinctively now (e.g., how to keep cadence high) that enable me to go further, easier, safer and faster that I wouldn't know where to begin.
If you're the kind of cyclist who wants to use their cycle to live better, this is the book for you. Mine's grease stained and well thumbed. (Also an enjoyable read.)

I teach ESL through a volunteer literacy program in my town. Many of the ESL adult students are Spanish speakers and this book helps them learn English faster.
Good for ESL Learners.......2006-02-23
I teach ESL for adults, and this book is really helpful for the native Spanish speakers because it uses phonetic spellings for the English words.
Learning english the easy way.......2004-08-17
I bought this book for my girlfriend a month ago. This book breaks english down so well and I am surprised how well she is coming along. I have bought computer programs and other books in the past but nothing comes close. Don't expect to be able write english compositions after going through the assignments, but one will be able to carry a conversation with little problems.
