    Book Description

    Early European descriptions of North America tell about a landscape and a variety of cultures in northeast Florida--a region that had been occupied by native people for more than 10,000 years--that were unlike anything the explorers and settlers had ever encountered. This story of the land and people in that region of the St. Johns River and the Atlantic coast covers 18,000 years--from the Ice Age to the first half of the 20th century. James Miller describes how natural features transformed and how cultural traditions of native people, as well as Spanish, English, and American colonists, developed in response to opportunities and constraints of the environment. With an unusually broad scope in time, space, and subject matter, he uses the example of northeast Florida to explore the notion of environmental equilibrium, to illustrate the fallacy of a pristine environment, and to show how essential environmental history is to modern ecological planning. Fully illustrated with 25 photographs and 40 maps and written in an accessible style that synthesizes material usually accessible only to specialists, the book will appeal to general readers and policy planners as well as experts. No comparable environmental history of any Florida region exists.

              Book Description

              This is the 6th edition of the very popular Hidden Places of Northumberland and Durham. The cover, page layouts and maps in this edition have been completely redesigned to produce a very attractive and easy-to-use travel guide covering, Northumberland, Durham and also Tyne and Wear (which until the 70's was a part of County Durham). The book is printed in full color and includes detailed directional maps and eye catching photographs. It is also packed with places of interest, places to stay and places to eat and drink full details of which are contained in a handy separate section. Northumberland has much to offer the visitor with the Cheviot Hills, the Kielder Forest Park, Hadrian's Wall and the North Northumberland Heritage Coast which, of course includes Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island and the Farne Islands. County Durham has a rich industrial heritage particularly in mining, steel and shipbuilding some of which is now in the relatively new county of Tyne and Wear but it also possesses the historical city of Durham with its magnificent cathedral and castle and, to the north , the beautiful scenery of Weardale, Teesdale and the northern Pennines. Northumberland and Durham are well worth a visit!

              The cover of the new edition incorporates an eye-catching photograph of Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland.

                  3 out of 5 stars Touching, Tragic, And Horrifying.......2006-12-19

                  Cynthia Voigt, the author of this exciting and adventurous book, takes you into the life of a 17 year old girl who is constantly being sexually abused by her step-father. It's full of Tish's emotions against her step-father, Tonnie's, power over her house. She finally gets the nerve to stand up for herself and bring a knife out in the open at the breakfast table against Tonnie's will. Tonnie objects to Tish's actions almost as much as Tish's mother is ignoring the whole scene.
                  Tish's adventure continues on into school were she throws a fit in physical education, which to me seems ridiculous because a teacher wouldn't try to start something with a student like this teacher did. She also scares her boyfriend, Kipper, and most of her friends. I don't think how her boyfriend would get scared of her when he understands what's going on in her life. She is sent to the office and a meeting is called to discuss Tish's behavior with her step father present. Tish has no other choice but to run away from school and get help. She ends up in the lawyer's office of a friend's father. I think this is good because it may seem a little easier to open up to your friend's dad, than to tell your story of being molested to a stranger.
                  Tish goes home to think things over and reacts. Read this book for yourself to figure out what happens.
                  The end of the book was not well written. I think it was meant to be a cliffhanger to make you wonder and make up the end yourself, but to me it just felt like an unfinished book; like the writer just died and someone published what the writer had and it was about ready to reveal all the solutions to every problem in the book.

                  1 out of 5 stars Terrible.......2005-10-30

                  This is the only book by Cynthia Voigt that I disliked. In fact, I thought this book was dreadful!

                  Tish, 17 has been molested by her stepfather for years. The story opens with Tish confronting him with a knife. He puts on the soft shoe and dishes out the soft soap and the girl's mother remains deliberately clueless. Two younger brothers whose ages aren't disclosed make cameo appearances at the breakfast table; a sibling on the way is given scant mention.

                  Tish leaves for school against Tonnie, her stepdad's orders. She has a breakdown in school, scaring not only her boyfriend Kipper but several teachers and administrators. A conference is called and Tish bolts from the building. To make this upsetting story even more so, she runs to a law office. The lawyer is a classmate's father. How the classmate knew Tish was heading for that office is never explained.

                  The lawyer's response to Tish upset me because he kept insisting she was over 18. If that were the case, then he was in effect absolving himself of responsibility as the girl's teachers had been doing. Had she been 18, he would not be legally compelled to take action. That was cowardly.

                  The ending is unresolved with everything in limbo. One thing readers learn is that Tish's classmate Miranda killed herself after paternal molestation for years. I didn't like the way the teachers called the girl randy Randy and hinted that she got what she deserved. That made me sick and angry.

                  I personally did not like this book either and felt it was unrealistic and unsatisfying. Readers are left wondering what happens and the characters are choppy and the action jagged instead of smooth. It is a rather confusing story in parts with a cast of mostly unappealing characters. Someone else recommended better books on this subject and I agree - read Norma Fox Mazer's book "Silver" and "Abby My Love" by Hadley Irwin instead. This book is not one to recommend.



                  2 out of 5 stars disappointing.......2005-10-27

                  Having enjoyed the Tillerman Cycle books, I was greatly disappointed in this one. There were so many questions left unanswered. How long has the abuse been going on (no, that is not immaterial)? What about the natural daughter - we don't even learn how old she is? What does the boyfriend look like - we get such a detailed description of Tish, it was frustrating to have only vague details on him? When exactly did Tish discover she might be pregnant and how - especially if she's taking birth control. How close is Tish to her boyfriend - it's hinted at that she's sexually active but not explored. Why would a teacher, who has presumably been trained to spot signs and deal with abuse in her students, warn Tish that she might get a "reputation" if she tells? That rang false. And where were Voigt's usual rich 3D characters? While we got inside the head of Tish, the protagonist, and were rooting for her, feeling her pain, the other characters remained ciphers.

                  I was also disturbed at the blase attitude of the lawyer. Surely, he knows how volatile a situation this is. Ignoring the fact that she might resort to physical violence without exploring it with her further is neglible.

                  Finally, today's teens don't usually say "Gee whiz" and "Golly." I'm assuming that it's supposed to take place in the eighties, nineties or present because of the mention of AIDS.

                  5 out of 5 stars Wow.......2005-04-04

                  This is a very engaging book. I read it in two days. I didn't want it to end.

                  1 out of 5 stars Not Cynthia Voigt's Best.......2005-03-31

                  Normally I love everything that Cynthia Voigt writes, but not this one. Some parts of it were realistic from what I've heard and seen in the lives of those around me who have been abused, but somehow it just never clicked for me.

                  I was also severely disturbed by the way the lawyer reacted to her. She was obviously a kid (I don't remember her exact age, and I don't have the book in front of me, but it seems that she was about 12 or 13), but he pretended that she was over 18. I know he was trying to give her a feeling of control over her life, but if she'd come for him to help, he shouldn't have sent her back out to face her stepfather again, carrying a knife and very obviously on the edge of doing something stupid (not to mention the fact that he could have gotten into big trouble; most 12/13 year olds don't look like they could be mistaken for 18 yr. olds).

                  Finally, it didn't end well. You never find out what happens between her and her stepfather; in some books it works to leave things on a cliffhanger like that, but in this one it just annoyed me (okay, it almost always annoys me, but sometimes I can appreciate that it was a good writing technique; this time I didn't think it was).

                  I think this is an important subject that ought to be read about, but I personally wouldn't recommend this book for that. Two other books that address the issue of sexual abuse (or, more specifically, incest) are "Silver" by Norma Fox Mazer (I know someone else already mentioned that one, but I really liked it too and thought a second mention couldn't hurt) or, if you like fantasy, "Deerskin" by Robin McKinley. Be aware that "Deerskin" is meant for a slightly older audience than this one; I don't mean subject matter so much as style, tone, and so on.

                                      Book Description

                                      Until recently, acquiring a background in the basic methodological principles that apply to most types of investigations meant struggling to obtain results through laborious calculations. The advent of statistical software packages has removed much of the tedium and many of the errors of manual calculations and allowed a marked increase in the depth and sophistication of analyses. Although most statistics classes now incorporate some instruction in using a statistics package, most introductory texts do not. Quantitative Investigations in the Biosciences using MINITAB fills this void by providing an introduction to investigative methods that, in addition to outlining statistical principles and describing methods of calculations, also presents essential commands and interprets output from the statistics package MINITAB. The author introduces the three basic elements of investigations-design, analysis, and reporting-using an extremely accessible approach that keeps mathematical detail to a minimum. He groups statistical tests according to the type of problem they are used to examine, such as comparisons, sequential relationships, and associations. Quantitative Investigations in the Biosciences using MINITAB draws techniques and examples from a variety of subjects, ranging from physiology and biochemistry through to ecology, behavioral sciences, medicine, agriculture and horticulture, and complements the mathematical results with formal conclusions for all of the worked examples. It thus provides an ideal handbook for anyone in virtually any field who wants to apply statistical techniques to their investigations.

                                                  Lucía Jerez, the only novel written by José Martí (Cuba, 1853-1895) ranks among the first and most important novels of Hispanic American Modernism. This work,overlooked or trivialized by critics over theyears, today is considered a revolutionary narrtive because in it the writer experiments with techniques that pre-announce the XX Century Vanguard writiers, and even contemporary post-modernism texts. This is a novel built upon symbols, impresionist and expresionist prose, full of visionary enunciations that depict the present and future of an off-balance world; and the fragile and inconstant experiences of our daily life.

                                                  Martí, according to his own confession, wrote the novel originally under the title of Amistad Funesta (Regrettable Friendship) in seven days for a New York magazine. He was forced to follow the guidelines set by the magazine's director: there had to be lots of love; a death; many young women, no sinful passion; and nothing that parents and clergymen would reject. And it had to be Hispanic American. The Cuban confessed he disliked the narrative genre. But years afterwards he changed his mind and thought about a modified version of his novel, with a different title because he realized, after reading Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin and Helen Hunt Jackson's Ramona, that novels could be a powerful social and political vehicle.

                                                  In Lucía Jerez many critics have preferred to see a fundamentally aesthetic creation,the fruit of the end of the XIX Century Modernist stylistic innovations. But today (re)reading, "under the surface" of the text, as Martí preferred, one can discover a contemporary narrative that explores the disconnections and annomalies of modern life.

                                                  Inthe preliminary study to this text Prof. Ivan A. Schulman examines Jose Marti's stance with regard to novelistic narratives, explores Lucia Jerez's structure and style, and adds notes that contribute to a novel, in-depth comprehension of Marti's text.
