From housing, dairy goat rations, nutritional needs, goat management, choosing dams and sires (females and males), breeding and kidding (birthing), kid care, goat milk, udder care, health care, trouble shooting, and the overall benefits of keeping goats. And a section for those who want to have goats as a business i.e. milk, cheese, meat. And there is a good section on where to buy goats and supplies.

We live in the Sierras where we are encouraged to own goats for fire protection, since they are great at keeping brush clearer in high fire areas. And they are such wonderful animals to own and easily become members of the family.

Luttermann's book covers pretty much everything a goat keeper needs to know about dairy goats, although having been published in 1986 it might be a little out of date with regards to supplementation of various minerals such as copper. However one can find that info in other places, and its lack does not negate the value of this book.

This volume is concerned with applications of graph theory to the study of chemical kinetics and reaction mechanisms. Methods of handling kinetic data are explained with emphasis on the derivation of rate laws and related problems. Graph-based classification and coding of reaction mechanisms along with approaches for determining their complexity are described, providing researchers with a useful tool in their search for new reaction mechanisms. The operator set approach to the structural and dynamic interrelations between chemical species is presented as a methodology for discovering new selection and prohibition rules. Also discussed are the reaction lattice technique and its application to aromaticity and pericyclic reactions, and the DARC/PELCO method, a topological tool for QSAR searching.

The book is suitable for readers with a background in basic finite element and finite difference methods for partial differential equations who wants gentle introductions to advanced topics like parallel computing, multigrid methods, and special methods for systems of PDEs. The goal of all chapters is to *compute* solutions to problems, hence algorithmic and software issues play a central role. All software examples use the Diffpack programming environment, so to take advantage of these examples some experience with Diffpack is required. There are also some chapters covering complete applications, i.e., the way from a model, expressed as systems of PDEs, through discretization methods, algorithms, software design, verification, and computational examples.

An absorbing example of political journalism, The Nixon Memo is a case study of Richard Nixon's relentless quest for political rehabilitation. At issue is the key role of this former president of the United States (best known for his involvement in the famous "watergate" scandal) in the post-cold war debate about aiding Russia in its uncertain revolution.

The story begins on March 10, 1992. Nixon had written a private memo critical of president George Bush's policy toward Russia. The memo leaked and exploded on the front page of The New York Times. Why would Nixon attack Bush, a fellow party member fighting for re-election? Why on an issue of foreign affairs, which was Bush's strength? The questions are as intriguing as the answers, and distinguished journalist and scholar Marvin Kalb offers a suspenseful, eye-opening account of how our conventional wisdom on United States foreign policy is shaped by the insider's game of press/politics.

This story of Nixon's Machiavellian efforts to pressure the White House, by way of the press, into helping Boris Yeltsin and Russia sheds new light on the inner workings of the world inside the government of the United States. Marvin Kalb read the documents behind the Nixon memo and interviewed scores of journalists, scholars, and officials in and from Washington and Moscow. Drawing on his years of experience as a diplomatic correspondent, he identifies and illuminates the intersection of press and politics in the fashioning of public policy.

"An absorbing and often compelling argument that Richard Nixon directed his own political rehabilitation on the world stage, using presidents, lesser politicians, and the press as his supporting cast. This is a first-class job of unraveling a complex and usually unseen tapestry."—Ted Koppel

"With Marvin Kalb's captivating account, Richard Nixon continues to fascinate us even in death."—Al Hunt

From her fellow employees, she got grief and harassment, but also camaraderie and love-and a distinct subway lingo that permeates her prose. At all hours of the day and night, New Yorkers in their glorious diversity rode her subway cars. Some spat on her and assaulted her; others were supportive and cheered her on. A white woman in a mostly minority male workplace, Swerdlow helped edit a rank-and-file newsletter, "Hell on Wheels," and tried to organize for better working conditions, confronting the Kafkaesque Transit Authority bureaucracy and complacent union leadership.

This book is full of the experiences that give New York City its edge-the rush hour, crime, medical emergencies, fires in subway cars, floods in subway tunnels, and confrontation of ethnic groups. The conductor is the person who hears what New Yorkers have to say about the quality of life in the Big Apple. And Swerdlow is a narrator with attitude, who has her own words for the subway system of today, including the new standards of politeness that riders are supposed to observe. Includes a glossary of over 140 subway terms.

Swerdlow's book brings back many memories of my former railroad and the people in it. Many of her anecdotes ring true - at times I was laughing out loud - although I was never aware of the depth of the hostility she apparently held towards senior people, motormen, and myself in particular until I read this book. (I am the "Mary Hansen" character in her book, and I find it interesting that Swerdlow chooses to perpetuate in the outside press outright untruths about myself, my career, and my activities in the Transport Workers Union.) None of us who came before her and worked to change conditions in the subway, unless they joined the New Directions movement, apparently did anything worth respecting in her view.

Many of the folk tales and outlines of the life, times, and culture of the NYC subway system are vividly captured in Underground Woman. It's a pity that because of her single-minded focus on union affairs, how they should be conducted, and how New Directions can save subway workers from themselves, that she missed so much more of what goes on outside of "official" union and management channels. The condescending attitude of many New Directions activists, especially towards those who support neither the status quo in TWU nor New Directions, turns many people off who would otherwise support them.

I give Swerdlow credit for having the sense to leave the job when she realized that working in the railroad industry was simply not the place for her. Her book is very good in capturing the rhythm and flow of life in Rapid Transit Transportation, but derails itself by portraying any non-supporters of New Directions in a clearly negative light.
