Book Description
An entirely new way for students to observe, analyze, and understand meteorology -- Steven A. Ackerman and John A. Knox's METEOROLOGY: UNDERSTANDING THE ATMOSPHERE is scientific, topical, and scholarly. The authors present the subject of weather as it directly affects your students using vivid photographs and compelling real-life stories. METEOROLOGY generates interest and genuine enthusiasm for the subject by making weather phenomena come alive via conceptual models and engaging narrative that explain their existence and help students discover the fascinating processes that determine weather. METEOROLOGY emphasizes how we observe the atmosphere and then uses those observations to explain atmospheric phenomena. By learning how to interpret scientific observations of the atmosphere, students can deepen their understanding of the subject. The text's instructor-friendly and modular structure are based on the authors' combined teaching experiences at five different universities. In addition to the well-thought-out structure that makes it easy for instructors to tailor the book to their needs, the authors also include unique coverage of topics not found in other books for this course.

Said other judges: "The text is visually sophisticated, truly interesting, and up-to-date, with always apt and sometimes ravishing images, figurative models, and tables used to support its thoughtful pedagogy." "This book has some of the most pretty and apt graphics that I have ever seen in a textbook.""Quite simply, the production quality is superb." "Visuals are integral and are used generously." Learning of the award, Knox said: "I'm excited to see that the judges appreciated our efforts so thoroughly -- especially since Steve and I are both first-time authors. Knox is a research scientist and lecturer at the University of Georgia. Ackerman is a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The announcement in the fourth in a series on the 2003 Talbies.

Book Description
As we enter the twenty-first century the ultimate objective of environmental management programs should be to manipulate ecosystems so that they fulfill the needs of humans and at the same time maintain their integrity. In this new ground-breaking work, Isard and Gage look at the importance of anticipating consequences of the aerial flow of biota as new strategies to understand and manage our environment. A sound understanding of the biological and meteorological interactions that govern the movement of organisms in the atmosphere is a prerequisite to the development of successful management strategies for terrestrial ecosystems. Inflows and outflows of organisms to and from habitats can be as important as birth and death rates in regulating the dynamics of populations.
Isard and Gage focus on predicting events that destabilize relationships among organisms and between populations and their environment. This preventative management strategy is based on the premise that the ability to understand the predict dynamics of populations in an ecosystem allows for optimal and integrative use of a wide variety of methods to enhance human resource productions and to reduce harmful impacts of diseases and organisms on humans.

A Fair Attempt .......2007-08-04
Although the authors clearly have a deep command and even affection for their subject, the text in this book is often murky. It is a serviceable work for beginners, but certainly not for novices to the area of physical geography. More strict editing and a more "user-friendly" layout in the text are called for, although the graphics do a generally competent job of illustrating more difficult concepts. I would recommend this book with reservations.
BUYERS BE AWARE 8th Edition Published.......2004-09-01
Fall 2004 & Spring 2005 Students: the 8th edition of this book is published and comes with a CD, and, in some cases, a free world atlas. Check with your instructor for requirements. In any case, I wouldn't spend $100 for the 7th edition.
Haven't read the book yet, so no rating.
Very well-written and illustrated text with great photos.......2004-05-23
Obviously written by authors who have a deep appreciation for this subject and a desire to pass on their knowledge, this text is useful not just for students of physical geography, but for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of geopolitics, area studies, anthropology, world history, etc. For example, I would have no clue about the culture, history and politics of Central Asia/Afghanistan and vicinity (my area of interest) without having a comprehensive understanding of the physical terrain and climate of this region--and how its inhabitants have adapted to it. I would not have gained this understanding without reading this text.
My only complaint is that I had hoped for more emphasis on environmental issues. The authors may feel that this is beyond the scope of an introductory text; but problems such as the shrinking Aral Sea and tropical rainforest destruction are so widely catastrophic that I believe they deserve greater attention and understanding even at the introductory level.
still on my bookshelf.......2004-02-20
I remember this book from when I was an undergraduate, lo these many years ago (OK, so it was an earlier edition)! I'm glad to see it is still available and updated -- I enjoyed it then and I am using it now in answering the questions my children throw at me.
This is an excellent resource book. I probably wouldn't pick it up as a light read at bedtime, but if you are interested in this topic you could do far worse than to get _Physical Geography_.
Book is conundrum.......2003-11-03
Suffice it to say, this text is awful, an arduous task to understand and conceptualize. I'm taking a lower level geography course with this book as the primary text and find myself ready to punch a wall when attempting to read.

Product Description
This hardback book by the sports writers of the Philadelphia Daily News commemorates the 50th anniversary of college basketball's Big 5 - La Salle, Penn, Saint Joseph's, Temple and Villanova. The book takes a retrospective look at the Big 5's history - including its greatest players, coaches and games. It's all here, from the Steve Donches buzzer-beater that led St. Joe's over Villanova in 1966 to La Salle's Lionel Simmons scoring his 3,000th point in 1990. There are separate chapters on each school, several on the Big 5's treasured home, the Palestra, and lists galore. Filled with fine memories, statistics and photos, this is the definitive keepsake for fans of Philadelphia college basketball.

$24.95 is way too expensive for a book that is only 100 pages. Other than that the content in the book is good.

wonderful fun in a yellow cover!.......2007-03-26
The uniqueness of this book is in it's humor and lively spirit. I'd recommend it to anyone seeking odd knowledge.
Better for kiddie-types.......2007-01-05
This is a good bathroom book, but a little too cheesy for adult readers, but there are some neat activities.
Don't waste your money on this book.......2006-11-11
I bought this along with the author's first "sneaky" book (I'd give the first one two stars) and now wish I had saved my money. Cheesy is the best description I can give. The sneaky uses are completely obvious and, in many cases, too flimsy to survive construction. The author apparently is fascinated with safety pins, magnets, etc. but who needs a book to explain how to make a wire out of a paperclip? Also, the art is as amateurish as the ideas. Not exactly rocket science.
Cool ideas........2006-08-28
Book bought for fun. Styrofoam speaker idea is cool. Some of the ideas are a real stretch but I enjoyed the book. Not as many ideas that I could use in my classes, but overall, worthwhile.
