Gentle guidance from non-attorneys.......2002-01-20

As Joan and Sue point out, divorce is seen a primarily a legal process. In my opinion, that is because the attorneys have the strongest union which services divorcing couples. But as Certified Financial Planners, these dedicated professionals have shared a new perspective on how to approach the emotionally and financially difficult transition of dissolving a marriage. This book is not a "do it yourself" divorce kit, but instead helps couples be good consumers of divorce advice from a variety of professionals and prepares them for the decisions ahead. These concepts are covered in the first half of the book. The second half discusses practical financial planning advice that newly divorced individuals will need to consider, especially if their new "ex" was the financial manager in the marriage. As a financial counselor, I have always helped my clients look for solutions that will preserve their marriages, if at all possible, because divorce is never cheap. But when it is inevitable, this book will save them thousands of dollars as they reduce their dependence on expensive legal proceedings and make good financial choices that attorneys may never advise....

Book Description

Coastal Dunes Form and Process Edited by Karl F. Nordstrom Norbert Psuty Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey 08903, USA and Bill Carter Department of Environmental Studies, University of Ulster, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry, BT52 1SA, Northern Ireland Coastal Morphology and Research Series Series Editor: Eric C. F. Bird This book deals with the formation and establishment of coastal dunes—considering both forms and processes in a wide variety of environments. These landforms are among the most sensitive to environmental change, yet they provide extensive protection against both short-term erosion and flooding and long-term sea-level rise. Until now, there has not been any major book to deal specifically with coastal dunes. The current volume surveys a range of dune features, such as the ephemeral characteristics in the rapidly subsiding Mississippi delta, the extensive sand sheets of Australia and South Africa and the Holocene dunes of Western Europe and North America. This book will provide essential background information for ecological and management studies of coastal dunes. It will be of immense value to geomorphologists, ecologists and other environmental scientists who work on the management of coastal dunes.

A review of Coastal Dunes: Form and Process.......2002-11-23

Coastal Dunes: Form and Process is a compilation of 16 research articles about coastal dune geomorphology with a focus on aeolian processes and landforms. The papers emphasize the complex dynamics of wind flow, sediment source, vegetation cover, wave action as well as rates and types of aeolian transportand how these processes influence and create coastal dune landforms.

I found this book to be an excellent source of background information for coastal dune research. It is also touchstone bibliographic reference for works related to coastal dune geomorphology despite the fact that it is 12 years old.

I believe that the goals presented by the series editor, Eric Bird, are in fact achieved in this book. The goal was to have a collection that was of value not only for specialists and students in the field but also for those that are concerned with management and planning issues in the coastal environment. To this end it is a successful book in that it is technical for students who are undertaking research yet the conclusions and section summaries are excellent for those that need a broader context without the figures and rigorous analysis.

Book Description

The epic conflict between Rome and Carthage remains one of the most compelling stories of military history. The wars included such legendary events as the crossing of the Alps by Hannibal, and the Battle of Cannae. Terence Wise's fine text details the armies of both sides of the wars, including the many different allied troops employed by the Carthaginians; Numidians, Celts, Spanish and others who helped make the army one of the most colourful and cosmopolitan of its day. The text is accompanied by numerous illustrations and photographs, including eight full page colour plates by Richard Hook.

Punic Wars.......2007-04-08

This book first examines the origins, society, and army organization of Carthage, and then goes on to profile her armies and those of her allies, Spaniards, Gauls, Italians, Africans, and Greco-Macedonians. The second half of the book tells of the contemporary Roman armies, which finally succeeded in destroying Carthage in 146 BC. Fine artwork portraying a Roman horseman fighting a Numidian, a number of Celtic warriors, Spaniards, non-Roman Italians, Roman infantry, and Roman commanders.

A good instructive about the Cathaginian Wars........2007-01-10

When I puirchased this Item, I hope that book clear my ideas about the most caracteristical element in the punic army: The Elephants. In this book the autor wrote about this magnificents warbeasts but he not includes drawings or images about the original concept of the carthaginian war elephant. Nevertheless, the autor, in the description of the carthaginian army elements, clarify the formations, armor and weapons used by the africans, included the elephants tactics and the concept of the carthaginian war elephant.
This book also deal with the republican roman army and the formation of the "republican legion", included the percentage of auxiliary troop and the evolution during the war.

Good overview of the forces of the Carthaginian Wars.......2006-04-04

This title is somewhat dated, originally published in 1982; however it provides a decent overview of the Carthaginian and Roman forces that engaged one another in the Punic wars. Terence Wise' text is organized, informative, and reads well.

Richard Hook's plates are superbly rendered: crisp, colorful, and well proportioned. The depictions include Roman, Numidian, Carthaginian/Liby-Phoenician, Iberian, Celtic, and various Italian allied forces. The faces and eyes are some of the most realistic among Osprey's ancient warfare titles. One quibble is that the skin-tone/hair color of too many of the plates are perhaps too Anglo-Saxon rather than Mediterranean in appearance.
(To better understand the forces available to Hannibal one should consider augmenting this work with Osprey's "Rome's Enemies 4: Spanish Armies" by Martinez/McBride. It has some more accurate representations of Iberian forces.)

In summary, I recommend this book as a fine starting point for anyone studying the Punic Wars.

Review of Armies of the Carthaginian Wars 265-146 BC.......2000-07-09

I found this book to be an informative and a highly readable study of the armies of the Carthaginian Wars. It provided useful information on the organisation, weapons, tactics and uniforms of both the Roman and Carthaginian armies. The colour plates, maps, photographs and illustrations were excellent and supplemented the main body of text very well. I would have no hesitation in recommending this book to anyone who is interested in this period of Ancient History. The more serious student of the Carthaginian Wars would probably want to do further study beyond this book, but overall I would say this book is excellent.

Comprehensive History of Nikkeis in Texas.......2000-03-28

This is the best book ever written on the little known story of the Japanese immigrants in Texas. From the turn-of-the-century Rio Grande ricefields to the multi-national businesses in Houston, the author has described the Japanese immigrant experience in his native Texas. The book was especially interesting to me as a 4th generation descenedent of these people. I am forever grateful to the author for documenting the history of these people.

Book Description

Microreaction technology, with its unprecedented heat and mass transfer advantages as well as uniform residence time and flow pattern, is one of the few technologies with potential to develop efficient, environmentally benign, and compact processes. Novel fabrication and processing techniques, equipment, and operational methods are resulting in spectacular developments that go beyond "traditional" chemical engineering. These new developments promise improvements in process plants, and lead to the transformation of our concept of chemical plants into compact, safe, energy-efficient, and environmentally sustainable processes. Microsystems are now available in many devices for commercial applications including: micromixers and microreactors as alternative to batch production in pharmaceutical and fine chemical industry, lab-on-chip devices, microsensors, advanced rapid throughput chemical and catalyst screening tools (e.g. combi), distributed or portable power and chemical production, distributed heating and cooling, and even out of this world applications with NASA. A wide diversity of subjects are discussed in this book ranging from catalysis to fuel processing to combinatorial techniques to separations to novel reactors all of which are enabled by microtechnology principles. World renowned pioneers (Klavs Jensen, Volker Hessel, Jennifer Holmgren, and Galip Akay) provide accounts on both historical developments and the current state of the art as well as insights into future research and development in microreactor and process intensification. Research and developments are presented by industry, universities, U.S. National Laboratories, and other laboratories located in the United States and throughout the world. It is composed of peer-reviewed chapters from both contributing and invited authors. The review and original research topics include (1) introductory and general overviews, (2) microreactors- including catalysts for microreactors, fuel processors, milli-second contact time catalysis, gas to liquid technology, and biomass conversion; and (3) process intensification such as micro mixers, reactive membranes, and intensification of separation operations.

Book Description

Moving straight to the heart of pressing international and national concerns, Nicholas Low and Brendan Gleeson explore the issues of environment and development, fair treatment of humans and non-humans, and the justice of the social and economic systems which affect the health and safety of the peoples of the world. Current grass-roots concerns such as the environmental justice movement in the U.S., and the ethics of the international regulation of development are examined. This book is essential reading for those seeking to understand current discussions in environmental politics, justice and ecology. The authors take debates beyond mere complaint about the injustice of the world economy, and suggest what should now be done to do justice to nature.
