        This edition is not as advanced or complete as earlier versions. If you did want to explore a the subject more completely you are at a disadvantage with this version, the references to the original work that were at the end of each chapter in previous versions have been removed.

            Book Description

            In the Foreword to Culture and Agriculture, distinguished anthropologist John W. Bennett writes "Dr. Schusky's book is welcome. It marks a point of maturity for anthropology's interest in agriculture, a distillation of decades of research and thought on the most important survival task facing humankind, the production of food." Although applauded by a specialist in the field, Schusky's book is specifically written for the general reader who is interested in agriculture. It offers a historical overview of the two major periods of agriculture--the Neolithic Revolution, which occurred when humans initally domesticated plants and animals, and the Neoclaric Revolution, which began the introduction of fossil fuel into agriculture in the twentieth century. Culture and Agriculture dramatizes the extensive changes that are occurring in modern agriculture due to the intensified use of fossil energy. The book details how the overdependence on fossil energy, with its looming exhaustion, is a major cause of pessimism about food production. The book also addresses the possible solutions to this scenario--conservation steps, an increase in the mix of solar energy, and an emphasis on human labor--which hold out hope for the future. Part I introduces the discovery or domestication of plants and animals (the Neolithic), along with the later use of irrigation, in order to show that most agricultural development, until the twentieth century, occurred between 5,000 and 10,000 years ago. Part II presents a brief survey of agricultural history which demonstrates that hunger had more to do with inequity in the social system than in the amounts of food produced. Agricultural history also emphasizes how little change occurred in agriculture from 5,000 years ago until the twentieth century, when the use of fossil energy revolutionized food production. In assessing the future of agricultural development, Schusky underscores the importance of economic and political policies that emphasize equity in distribution of wealth and government services. This book should appeal to the general reader interested in agriculture, rural sociology, or anthropology.

                    Book Description

                    Clearly written and free of statistical jargon, this invaluable guide concentrates on the practicalities of statistical analysis for anyone involved with agricultural research.
                    Each section starts with the key points, giving a quick reference to the contents and plenty of examples using 'real' data.

                    Successful experiment design starts with a statement of aims. The authors guide the reader through planning an experiment, including defining objectives, considering treatments, measurements of interest and the time and timing of assessments. Advantages and disadvantages of different experiment designs and the importance of data exploration and graphical presentation are covered, as are data collection, storage, validation and verification. Statistical techniques include the t-test, anlaysis of variance, basic regression analysis and non-parametric techniques. Assumptions inherent to these techniques are clearly identified (bearing in mind the principles and aims) without losing the reader in statistical theory. All of the techniques are illustrated with worked examples and give full interpretation of the results. Formulae are kept to a minimum in the main text, but are given in full in the appendix.

                            Book Description

                            This ground-breaking book explores the issues raised in the modern fields of genetic research and biotechnology. The author primarily examines these from an ontological rather than an ethical/political standpoint. The book examines the two great revolutions in genetics in the last century--the development of classical Mendelian theory and the discovery of and research into DNA--and the respective technologies generated by these fundamental discoveries. The book's approach enables the author to cast light on the current problems in the field of genetics and biotechnology.

                            5 out of 5 stars The golf swing for the science minded.......2007-01-26

                            While this book was written quite a few years ago, the basic science behind it is solid.

                            Using high speed cameras, the authors analyze every aspect of the golf swing dispelling many myths behind the swing. It looks at what makes up swing speed, how certain ball flight is achieved, and much more.

                            If you're a Dave Pelz fan, you'll love this book. I find Pelz and the authors here to be of similar mind and approach.

                            This book really isn't for teaching your golf swing, however. There really aren't any drills for you to do, but it explains what you want to achieve, just not HOW to do it.

                            The science behind this book personally help me drop from a 6 to a 4 index, and improve my driving accuracy from about 45% to 60%, IN ONE YEAR. The reason? My instructor was wrong in talking about ball flight and what causes the ball to do certain things. This caused me to try to adjust things in my swing that didn't need adjusting.

                            5 out of 5 stars Physics of Golf Explained.......2005-11-30

                            This book tells you interesting facts like how much clubhead speed is needed to hit a golf ball 280 yards on a fly. It also shows lots of pictures on different golf swings from various golfers. The factors of spin and drag on a golf ball are explained.

                            Accordingly, the author talks about what the best angle on a drive is to get the best carry on a golf ball. It also has a section on analyzing tournament putting. I also suggest

                            Patrick Leonardi's
                            "The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide: Key Techniques for Becoming a Zero Handicap Golfer"
                            The information in this book was great in getting myself and my golf game in tip top shape.

                            I also liked Duncan Leonard's "Extreme Golf: The World's Most Unusual, Fantastic and Bizarre Courses"

                            3 out of 5 stars Old and dated.......2005-04-03

                            This book has some good information but was in its prime in the 70's. Golf equipment and materials have changed so much in the last 10 years that the wooden drivers and crude cast irons in this book aren't too relevant to modern equipment. The theory discussed in the book is good but dated.

                            5 out of 5 stars My Favorite Book.......2003-02-13

                            This is my favorite book of all time: a wonderful model of the golf swing that has not been surpassed since its original publication in the early 1970's. Think of all the enduring golf ideas that have followed from this book: the heel-sole weighted putter and club, the importance of the left side guiding the swing, the swing plane and curve of the golf ball, the importance of different shots, the kinetic chain for power, aim and stroke in putting, ... All current teaching and golf science started right here. It is silly to play golf without fully understanding this book.

                            3 out of 5 stars lots of info , but you need a Phd to pu it to good use........2001-11-28

                            it was a dry read with many "big" words,. I think that with someone who understand it, it would be a great help.

                            5 out of 5 stars Zerwick's Grammatical Analysis.......2007-10-10

                            This is simply a must for the student of intermediate Greek (i.e., one who has just completed his introductory grammar). Here's why I say this:

                            This is the ideal tool for learning NT Greek through induction. I love studying grammar deductively, that is, studying the principles and rules (a priori), but the average person will find that deductive study isn't quite enough. Even with examples, the rules tend to get lost in the heap. One needs also to gather up particular instances of the manifestations of those Greek rules of grammar in a real text (a posteriori) as he goes in order for the principles and rules to really take root (IMHO). Here's where 'the Jesuit' comes in.

                            As you read the NT you will encounter--invariably--forms you can't parse and words whose definitions you have not yet memorized. While having a lexicon handy, and consulting it liberally, also consult Zerwick's Grammatical Analysis and you will identify the word and its parsing. He will then possibly refer you to a section from his companion book (which you must get!) called Biblical Greek (ISBN 8876535543), and it will tell you what the deductive intermediate grammars have also told you, but quickly and succinctly. By studying an intermediate grammar plus this book you wind up with a double whammy of inductive/deductive study!!

                            If you're learning independently (you're a working stiff, not a student preparing for exams), I recommend that right after finishing your introductory grammar, you try my routine, and it seems to be most profitable and enjoyable (again, just IMHO, and you should take note that I am merely a self-study who is barely into intermediate stuff now).

                            1. Pick up a SECOND introductory grammar (e.g., if you learned from Mounce, now go out and find a used J. Gresham Machen, or someone else's grammar), so as to revisit the fundamentals from another perspective and methodology. I'm a believer in hammering fundamentals. Even an intro Attic grammar, such as Mastronarde, will do. As you are casually working through it (while doing the exercises, especially the English into Greek), also do the following,

                            2. Read as much as you can in the Gospels (starting with John) and in John's epistles. Use your Zerwick as you go (both this Analysis and his Biblical Greek), inductively learning grammar at the intermediate level. Picking up Funk's "Greek Grammar of the NT and other Christian Lit'" in conjunction with Zerwick will really further this aspect of study. Then move to Galatians and Romans and other Pauline stuff. Save Luke-Acts and Hebrews for last (God knows when I will get to Hebrews!).

                            3. For deductive study, pick up Wallace and/or another intermediate textbook and start reading through it/them. I'm all about multiple perspectives in tackling such things, so grab two or three intermediate/advanced texts, such as Goodwin's grammar and his syntax of the Greek verb, or Dana-Mantey, or A.T. Robertson (lots of used copies of all these floating around out there, too!).

                            4. Vocab. Crush those 'down to 10 word occurences' NT word lists. Mounce's vocab cards are great.

                            So, use multiple sources both in inductive and deductive method, and for the former you simply must have Zerwick's Grammatical Analysis and his Biblical Greek (ISBN 8876535543). I have, in fact, only one criticism of this publication: it is not physically user-friendly. One cannot open it up and lay it out next to one's Greek NT. It's kind of laborious, putting down, picking up, putting down, picking up, when you're basically just doing the same one or two pages of text in a sitting. But, whatever. Get it!


                            Note- Don't fret (if you are so inclined) about the fact that this is issued by Rome and that the scholar is a Jesuit. As a Roman Catholic turned Calvinist, I can tell you that it is my impression that Zerwick goes where he believes the Greek points, period. He's a true scholar, rip.

                            5 out of 5 stars Excellent handbook to the Greek NT.......2007-07-18

                            A very helpful and handy companion to the Greek New Testament. Not only it locates the conjugations of every verb in the Greek NT, it also serves as a grammatical commentary where applicable. You must own one if you are serious in studying the New Testament.

                            5 out of 5 stars A Grammatical Analysis of the Greek New Testament.......2007-05-16

                            This book is a great tool for intermediate Greek students. It parses and defines unfamiliar forms and words and provides helpful syntactical comments.

                            5 out of 5 stars A Continued Help!.......2007-04-11

                            Every so often I would go through several NT books in Greek as a discipline and this volume will be my constant guide. If you don't have it get it. It is worth the buy.

                            5 out of 5 stars The best tool for the study of New Testament Greek.......2007-03-25

                            Most tools for the study of Greek New Testament are a waste of time. This is a notable exception. In fact, this is probably the best tool any one can have if they are interested in reading through the Greek New Testament. The work offers a thorough analysis of almost every word in the Greek NT, and provides parsing, definitions and explanations of Greek constructions. The work was originally in Latin but has been expertly translated and adapted into English. It has undergone five editions, although inexplicably the Preface does not detail the changes in the various editions. Some may object that a tool like this makes the student lazy. I do not agree. People who make such remarks are often feigning their expert knowledge of Greek. The truth is that Greek has an alarming and overwhelming array of verb forms, which frustrate even experienced Greek readers. In my opinion, this work helps students learn verb forms easily and should be used alongside Liddell and Scott's Intermediate Lexicon: An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon: Founded upon the 7th ed. of Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon. 1889.

                              Christmas in bounty hunter Stephanie Plum's world isn't quite like Christmas in Whoville. With only four days to go before December 25, she doesn't have a decorated tree in her apartment or any presents bought. Plus she's chasing an elusive bail-jumper named Sandy Claws; a hunky guy named Diesel is literally popping in and out of her apartment; and a mob of manic elves is threatening to assault her with cookies. The end result is that Stephanie is feeling a tad stressed over the holiday season. Life isn't any calmer over at her parents' home in the Burg, where Grandma Mazur is dating a new octogenarian stud muffin; sister Valerie is wailing over some unwelcome news; and Stephanie's mother is coping by belting back tumblers of Red Roses in the kitchen. Just where is the elusive Mr. Claws hiding, and why? What's causing the power blackouts all over Trenton? And what about the mysterious villain, Mr. Ring? Is all of this real, or is Stephanie just having a very bad dream?

                              Janet Evanovich's mysteries are eagerly awaited by fans everywhere and this holiday installment won't disappoint. With a returning cast of entertaining, quirky characters and a rock-solid setting in New Jersey wrapped around an intriguing mystery, Evanovich delivers yet another hilarious adventure featuring irrepressible bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. --Lois Faye Dyer

                              Book Description

                              It's five days before Christmas and things are not looking merry for Fugitive Apprehension Agent Stephanie Plum. She hasn't got a tree. She hasn't bought any presents. The malls are jam-packed with staggering shoppers. There's not a twinkle light anywhere to be seen in her apartment-and there's a strange man in her kitchen.Sure, this has happened to Stephanie Plum before. But this guy is different. He's mysterious, sexy-and has his own agenda. His name is Diesel, and he's on a mission. The question is, what does he want with her? Can he help her find a little old toy maker who has skipped out on his bail right before Christmas? Can he survive the Plum family holiday dinner? Can he get Stephanie a tree that doesn't look like it was grown next to a nuclear power plant? These questions and more are keeping Stephanie awake at night. Not to mention the fact that she needs to find a bunch of nasty elves, her sister Valerie has a Christmas "surprise" for the Plums, her niece Mary Alice doesn't believe in Santa anymore, and Grandma Mazur has a new stud muffin. So bring out the plastic reindeer, strap on your jingle bells, and get ready to celebrate the holidays-Jersey style.

                              2 out of 5 stars Janet, Janet, Janet.......2007-10-09

                              I was disappointed in this novella having read the entire series of Plum books. No Ranger, Hardly any Morelli and some guy named Diesel who "pops in and out". The story was not believable and the wedding at the end was ridiculous.
                              Janet, Janet Janet-Please keep Stephanie and the characters that surround her more convincing.

                              5 out of 5 stars Quick fun!.......2007-08-17

                              I especially loved this short novel. It was fast, fun, and rang in the holiday spirit! Read it two years ago during Christmas; it's become a holiday tradition and a relaxing break for myself during the busy holiday season! Draw yourself a bubble bath, grab the book, and head for the tub. It's a great escape and you deserve it! Enjoy!

                              2 out of 5 stars What was Janet Evanovich thinking? Oh I know, let me rip off my fans and make a quick buck..........2007-07-29

                              I have read the first four books from the Stephanie Plum series and found them rather enjoyable. This book however is awful. It is quite obvious that this book was written in lightning speed with not much thought or editing. I was quickly becoming a fan of Janet Evanovich but this book has turned me away from her slightly.

                              1 out of 5 stars I was disappointed.......2007-05-24

                              I love the Stephanie Plum books but I didn't like this one enough to finish it. I'll stick to the number books and pass on the specials from now on. I didn't like the Thanksgiving one either.

                              4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Read.......2007-05-06

                              Janet Evanovich is a great Author. I was disappointed in this Christmas book, however. It seemed that she had rushed to meet the deadline or something. Just not as good as all the others. I did however enjoy reading another book from one of my favorite authors.
