Book Description

This expanded edition of an established work offers a generously illustrated natural history set in the context of the state's geologic and human pasts. A broad ecological overview written in engaging narrative for lay readers as well as naturalists, conservationists, and biologists, the book is enhanced with more than 140 photographs, drawings, maps, and diagrams. Also a practical guidebook, it directs people to where they can see what is being discussed, gives current references, and offers a complete directory of conservation organizations in the state.

In the new edition, State Naturalist Charles W. Johnson describes many environmental, technological, and cultural changes: more moose and turkey vultures, fewer wood turtles and butternuts; refinement in our thinking about natural communities and endangered species; effects of development, pollution, acid rain, global warming, and invasive non-native species such as zebra mussels and Eurasian water milfoil; urban/rural clashes mirrored in such issues as the Northern Forests and clear-cutting; a sharpening focus on biodiversity, sustainability, and ecosystem management; the rise of conservation biology as a field of study. At the same time, Johnson includes Abenaki stories - Vermont's Native American legacy of respect for and identity with nature - that serve as reminders of how our fortunes are inextricably tied to those of nature.

5 out of 5 stars Vermont Ecology.......2007-05-23

This book is an introduction to the ecology of Vermont. Johnson, the state naturalist, visited every corner of the state in compiling this concise guide. The book is divided into several sections, covering geology and prehistory, mountains and forests, waters and wetlands, and open land. In his descriptions of the separate environment types, Johnson details some of the common trees, plants, reptiles, birds, and mammals that are characteristically found there. Appendices include an annotated list of places to visit, a list of conservation organizations, references, and common and scientific names of plants of animals mentioned in the text. The book is illustrated with black-and-white photographs.

The text is quite informative and clearly written. Whether you are looking for wild places to visit, or want to learn more about your favorite parks or scenic spots, this book is a great place to start and would make a fine reference for anyone interested in the nature of Vermont.

    4 out of 5 stars A unique and astounding reference work.......2002-01-06

    This is a guidebook unlike any other---which is sad, because London, Paris, Zurich and Prague cry out for a book like this. What makes "Rome Up Close" unique is its district to district, street by street architectural maps which provide an aerial, isometric view of the city that includes every byway, building and (it seems) window in a particular area. The commentary accompanying the maps is succinct and to the point, but commentary isn't the point. The maps are.
    If you're thinking of going to Rome, this is a terrific book to pack---it's a great walking around guide, but it shouldn't be your principal one. There are no hotel or restaurant recommendations, as such, nor many of the other things you'd expect from Fodor, Frommer or Lonely Planet. But the maps...the maps are really somethin'!

      Book Description

      Carrie Fitzgerald is the luckiest girl: She is the only sophomore on the varsity basketball team, she always had the lead in the school play, and she has the cutest boyfriend in school. Carrie Fitzgerald is also the most superstitious girl: She attributes all of her good luck to a Moroccan T-shirt that her father sent her from one of his distant jaunts around the world. When her mother accidentally donates Carrie's lucky T to Help India and her good luck starts running out, Carrie does what any logical girl would do -- she travels halfway around the world to get it back. But as she scours a foreign land for her luck, she finds a lot more than she ever expected. She's going to need more than luck to find her way back home again.

      2 out of 5 stars UGH!.......2007-07-16

      i didnt not at all like this book! i felt that this girl is WAY TOO spoiled and it made me mad how if she didnt get her way she would turn into the PRISSY girl who was "too good" for work. Her attitude wasnt exactly the greatest. All she wanted was her lucky t. and if she didnt get it she would cry. She acted like she was better than everyone. and i just didnt like it. UGH!

      5 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too.......2007-06-25

      Have you ever cleaned your room/closet and decided to donate your excess clothes to charity? Maybe it was a mother-ordered mandate to get rid of the clutter? Whatever the reason or inspiration, did you ever give away something you didn't really mean to give? What would you do to get it back?

      Carrie's mother does just that. She gives Carrie's favorite T-shirt to the Help India foundation. Unfortunately, the T-shirt is not just a T-shirt. It was given to Carrie by her father, and she superstitiously believes it is the reason for every success in her young life. She must get it back.

      Since the T-shirt is traveling to India, Carrie makes arrangements to travel there, too. Carrie arrives at the Help India headquarters to find herself bunking with several roommates in a hostel. The roommates are horrible, and India is nothing like she expected. She is assigned to the group building homes in Calcutta. Needless to say, Carrie seriously lacks building trade skills. From dropping a hammer on her flip-flop-exposed big toe to dropping a boxful of nails in wet concrete, Carrie is not very popular at the building site.

      Much to her relief, Carrie meets Dee, who tells her about his work at the Calcutta Children's Shelter. When she's offered a chance to start volunteering there, she decides anything is better than her current situation. Her work with children is the beginning of a new understanding for Carrie. Maybe the T-shirt isn't that important after all.

      When I started LUCKY T, I was frustrated with the whining of main character Carrie. As the storyline began to unfold, though, it gained depth and purpose, and everything fell into place. Kate Brian gives readers a chance to watch the growth of Carrie and what her experience teaches her about exactly what things/people are important in life.

      4 out of 5 stars Fun Teen romance and glimpse into another culture.......2007-02-23

      Very entertaining and fun romance appropriate for teens. Quick paced after an initial slow start. Once you get past the first 25 pages, the rest of the book is fantastic. I love the glimpses into India and how the heroine grows as a person when she looks outside of her normal comfortable life. Dee is a dream: handsome, nice, and smart. I wish there was more about Dee, would have liked more development of their relationship. The author is a great writer, she really knows how to take you to another place. I would read more of her books.

      4 out of 5 stars All About Luck.......2006-11-12

      Carrie Fitzergald has been spoiled with luck all her life due to a lucky T-shirt her dad once gave her from a business trip. Now that T-shirt is gone, lost somewhere in India, after her mother accidentally gave it away as part of a charity donation. And Carrie's luck has gone with it: she's broken up with her boyfriend, had a fight with her bestfriend, and has gotten her first bad grade. So what will Carrie do? Travel to India to retreive her lucky T!

      This is a cool, perky novel for every girl to try! Read the book to find out what happens to Carrie in India!

        Book Description

        Why Your LOVE Life Sucks — and What You Can Do About It: With the same humor, real-world examples, and charming directness as Why Your Life Sucks, Don’t Get Lucky — Get Smart spells out why many of us have been unlucky in love — and also offers practical ways to increase our relationship intelligence. From a self-help guru who admittedly owned a lot of unreal estate in dating hell for years, Don't Get Lucky distils the common reasons we all have bad — or just not great — relationships, showing us how to recognize our own patterns, and ultimately how to change for the better.

        An original voice with highly practical information: Cohen debunks the common myths we bring to dating and offers new insight into the realities of relationships. For example, chances are your love life sucks if you often…
        -Mistake “hope at first sight” for “love at first sight”
        -Date out of desperation. People who feel desperate do desperate things — and create desperate results
        -Seek only The Right Person — which may be a way of avoiding relationship
        -Get stuck on The Wrong Person — again and again and again

        5 out of 5 stars Good for any age!.......2005-11-14

        My daughter had just turned 2 when a friend brought her this book while I was in the hospital having her baby brother. She loved it instantly and we have read it many, many times in the last 7 mos. I am lucky in that she still loves her baby brother, but she has experienced many of the things illustrated in this book ... wanting to act like a baby, help mommy, hearing the baby cry and cry.

        It's a wonderful, sweet story, and very accurate to the 'new baby' experience. Now I can't wait to buy it for a friend with a 3 yr old daughter and expecting her own baby brother!!

            Book Description

            Social Stories were originally developed to help children on the autistic spectrum understand the social confusion that they faced in coming to terms with their worlds. Since then, practitioners have developed the ideas for a much wider audience.

            John provides over 80 stories he has used with great success as a teacher in Kirklees for all sorts of children, including those with language delays, communication difficulties, difficult behaviour, antisocial behaviour as well as those with autism.

            Examples are provided, but the intention is that the adult and child work together to write a personal story that the child owns. The stories are practical and achievable, the language is down to earth and believable, and the subjects include those that we are often embarrassed to deal with.

            If you want to develop the use of story to assist young people who are experiencing difficulties then this book provide you with content and structure to support the project.

                          Book Description

                          This is the first systematically organised anthology on responsible conduct in scientific research aimed at students and practising researchers in the biological sciences. It has been designed in response to the increasing concern to teach graduate students about ethical issues in the biological sciences. The book contains classic essays and other published material and is carefully structured to explore a range of subjects: the qualifications for authorship; plagiarism; the use of human beings and animals in research; the norms of ethical conduct in science; scientific honesty and its relationship to gullibility and self-deception; ethical issues in laboratory work; the relation between science and society; the ethics of teaching and learning. The volume also provides insights into issues often not formally considered in graduate science education such as methods of scientific investigation, scientific paradigms and the creative process.

                            From the author: Medical ethics in times of war are fundamentally different from those in times of peace, War brings military and medical values into conflict, often overwhelming other moral obligations, such as a doctor's charge to relieve suffering, in the face of military necessity,

                                    “In the beginning there was chemistry,” Dr. Neckers writes—literally, in the school’s first curriculum in 1874—and the development of the department of chemistry, nurtured by the dedication of a distinguished faculty, lent distinction to an emerging university.

                                    Concentrating on the second fifty years of the university’s history, Dr. Neckers’s firsthand account of the build­ing of the chemistry department is one of growth and accomplishment. In his forty years in the university, Neckers was an active participant in university affairs, the first president of the faculty senate, and a member of nearly every university committee and council.

                                    His observations are both pertinent and acute, and his insights into campus events no doubt will bring about new interpretations of the university’s recent history. Written with warmth and affec­tion, Dr. Neckers’s chronicle is never­theless direct and principled, exhibiting his stalwart character and the forthright­ness remembered by his former students and colleagues.

                                      In the spring of 1922, several months after completing Siddhartha, Hermann Hesse wrote a fairy tale that was also a love story, inspired by the woman who was to become his second wife. That story, Pictor’s Metamorphoses, is the centerpiece of this anthology of Hesse’s luminous short fiction. Based on The Arabian Nights and the work of the Brothers Grimm, the nineteen stories collected here represent a half century of Hesse's short writings. They display the full range of Hesse’s lifetime fascination with fantasy--as dream, fairy tale, satire, or allegory.

                                      5 out of 5 stars A terrific introduction to Hesse.......2001-03-08

                                      Hesse was an inveterate story writer and this collection is an excellent introduction to his work. Most of these tales are only a few pages long and even the longest can be completed in one sitting. They also span his entire career and give the reader a great overview of the author's style.

                                      I recommend especially the title story, "Pictor's Metamorphoses": here a youth named Pictor wanders into a garden and finds a magic carbuncle which transforms him into a tree. But he realizes that his life his incomplete, and remains unhappy until a girl wanders into the same garden...

                                      5 out of 5 stars MAGIC.......1999-10-10

                                      this book has followed me throughout my life, and has never been topped by another. He was, and is, the author closest to my heart.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Shows The Vast Range Of Writing Styles Of Hesse.......1999-06-02

                                      This is a really good book. From the dreams he has as a young boy to the times after the war. A good book to read in between books. Most of the stories are short but there are some long ones too.
