Book Description
Discover farming techniques that will decrease soil erosion and costs! Soil erosion from U.S. croplands has long been recognized as a national problem. Conservation Tillage in U.S. Agriculture: Environmental, Economic, and Policy Issues is the first ever complete study of the costs and benefits of using conservation tillage to prevent soil erosion. Designed for professionals working in the areas of soil science, agronomy, economics, environmental studies, and agriculture, this complete study covers everything from machinery and trends in conservation tillage to its adoption to use in regions of the United States. With this in-depth manual, you will examine different types of tillage and the many benefits this practice can ensure, such as improving water quality, increasing organic matter in your soil, sequestering carbon, and providing habitat and food for wildlife. Covering the economic, environmental, and policy issues of this practice, Conservation Tillage in U.S. Agriculture features:- the history of conservation tillage- case studies on costs and benefits of differing conservation tillage practices with various crops- tables and graphs of trends, and case studies concerning the use of different farming methods - U.S. Department of Agriculture soil conservation policies- how to prevent soil erosion without harming the environment - factors affecting conservation tillage, adoption, and use for crops such as peanuts, potatoes, beets, tobacco, and vegetables. With the help of this book, you will measure the benefits and costs of conservation tillage based on profitability and environmental impact and explore the positive and negative environmental consequences that may involve air, land, water, and/or the health and ecological status of wildlife. Conservation Tillage in U.S. Agriculture is a timely and informative look at conservation tillage practices that will help you improve residue management and create better conditions for wildlife and the environment.

Book Description
From the Preface This text is designed to provide a fundamental knowledge of the phenomenon known as self-purification in streams. Sufficient background information and references on stream ecology and self-purification are presented to provide readers with an understanding of the various concepts under discussion. Moreover, along with the stream self-purification process and biological indication of stream health, water quality and source sampling are discussed in depth. Wastewater and water treatment personnel, students, specialists, water resource managers, ecologists, regulators, and water pollution control personnel concerned with activities and preventive measures to prevent stream pollution will find this consolidated information important. Other professional wastewater- and water-related staff from governmental agencies, municipal water supply and wastewater systems, public health departments, and environmental health agencies will also find the information valuable. This text, however, is also intended for readers and groups interested in and concerned with stream pollution and stream contamination control. This text can be used as a basic or supplemental text in undergraduate and technical school courses in aquatic ecology or stream quality enhancement and protection. It can also be consulted as an environmental reference text by school, municipal, and water resource professionals.

VERY out of date information--stay away.......2007-08-19
In August 2007, I bought this book for my honeymoon in Vancouver Island. We hiked two of the hikes listed. One was completely impossible to locate based on the details given: completely incorrect street names (three incorrect street names). We ended up asking at a gas station and were given new street names to locate trailhead and different directions. The other hike was badly misrepresented, with trail names marked differently than the book indicated. A guidebook should guide the hiker; I personally think the author and publisher should be embarrassed to sell this title.
Best Vancouver Island Hiking Trails.......2007-02-10
I highly recommend this hiking trail guide book and I've been hiking and leading guided nature hiking tours of Vancouver Island for the last 12 years. The trails are a selection of the best ones for each area and not just some boring logging road. The descriptions are detailed, clear and accurate and the maps are great. Windstorms and logging activity can affect trails as the years go by so be sure to check with locals for current information about roads and trails.
good resource.......2006-10-04
I found this guide book really helpful and i definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to do multiple hikes on the island. Enjoy your trip!

As a writer, I enjoyed reading this book to jump-start me. Unlike most people, I use both sides of my brain fairly equally -- which can be a blessing or a curse.

Customer Reviews:
And so on..........2005-06-01
This book was a nice read, review, primer, and so on. It was annoying in the number of typhos, jargon, catch phrases, and so on. It doesn't rigidly follow the vignette / summarize / localize / ddx, and so on. The tables are OK. There is a nice description of what to expect on test day, how the test is structured, what the reviewers do, and so on. References are provided, and so on. If you find and-so-on to be distracting, wait for the second edition.

Book Description
A comprehensive yet concise review of relevant topics and examination strategies needed to pass the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) Part II (Oral) exam, complete with up-to-date, evidence-based guidelines on diagnosis and management in clinical neurology. The book follows the ABPN format, providing clinical case vignettes designed to allow the examinee to localize the plausible disease process, to indicate which investigations may help in establishing a diagnosis, to deduce treatment plans, and to make a prognosis, including patient and family counseling. The emergency cases test the ability to think critically when faced with a neurological emergency, putting a premium on resuscitation, patient safety, and rapid high-yield investigations. The general neurology cases reflect the breadth of disorders experienced in hospital and outpatient settings. The author's suggested study regimen takes into account the difficulties of allotting time to prepare while in post-residency training or practice. Comprehensive and case-based, Neurology Oral Boards Review: A Concise and Systematic Approach to Clinical Practice provides a structured approach to clinical problem solving in neurology, as well as an effective and time-efficient method to master the factual material needed to successfully complete the Neurology Oral Boards.
Customer Reviews:
Really "An excellent first step".......2007-07-09
Highly doubtful about my chances, 6 weeks before the board I started this book. In the limited hours that I had, I surprisingly was done with this book in 2 weeks and started feeling more confident about my chances. Then I revised a few topics from other books and revised this book again. .. and I passed!
I passed!.......2006-10-05
Need I say more? This book covers the format of the boards and covers many of the same topics that were asked of me. It defused much of my anxiety. Of all the books I used for the Oral boards, this one was the most helpful. Well organized, easy to read in small doses for those who can only spare a few minutes a day to study, and few typos.

Covered better in other books and mock orals.......2007-02-20
This is a decent book but I wouldn't spend the money on it again; the information is also covered in "Boarding Time" in an easier to read format. There's nothing incredibly helpful in it, it's just another point of view about how to approach the boards. I passed, but I can't point to any particular helpful information in this book that contributed to my result. If you are studying with friends, buy one copy and pass it around.
Excellent Guide for Psychiatry Oral Boards.......2006-06-13
This book will not give "everything" you need to know to pass the ABPN Part II exam (aka Oral Boards), but it will give you an excellent framework on how to organize your studies for the exam. I used this book during my studies for the exam and I passed on the first try.
What I found most helpful was:
1) Rayel gives a list of the most common dignoses encountered during the exam. I studied until I knew these inside and out.
2) The book has excellent outlines for presenting the "live patient", with helpful vignettes.
3) At the end of the book is a list of commonly asked questions which were helpful to gauge the actual questions.
The only drawback to this book is it doesn't describe the new vignettes which are now included in addition to the videotaped patient. However, since these vignettes are brand-new (as of May 2006), it isn't a fair criticism. I would expect the vignettes to be covered in later editions.
