Book Description

* Only reader of its kind in this field, edited by the world’s leading expert on sustainable agriculture
* Maps out the complex subject area of sustainable agriculture; introduces and explains key hard-to-find literature
* Highly accessible--the essential student reference text

Our agricultural and food systems are not meeting everyone’s needs, and despite great progress in increasing productivity over the past century, hundreds of millions of people remain hungry and malnourished. This book describes a different form of agriculture: one founded more on ecological principles and which is also more harmonious with people, their societies, and cultures. The latest in the Earthscan Reader Series, this volume brings together the most influential scholarship in the field, containing both theoretical developments and critical appraisals of evidence addressing what is not sustainable about current or past agricultural and food systems, as well as studies of transitions towards agricultural and rural sustainability at farm, community, regional, national, and international levels, and through food supply chains.

Book Description

Space observations are currently providing a glimpse of various new states of matter possibly present in compact stars, with terrestrial laboratories producing compelling evidence in support. The aim of this book is to facilitate the exchange of ideas — both established and emergent, both theoretical and experimental — in the areas of the physics of neutrinos, dense hadronic matter and compact stars.

Book Description

An extraordinary value at the price, this compact, easy-to-use reference offers boaters a complete set of full-color navigation charts for the 1,090-mile Intracoastal Waterway, running from Norfolk to Miami, as well as charts for all the major Atlantic inlets en route. This edition has been fully updated through late 2001 and now features a larger size to allow chart segments to be presented at the same scale as the original NOAA charts from which they are reproduced.

Intercoastal Waterway Chartbook.......2007-01-12

Great book, you have to have them to run the intracoastal and it's MUCH cheaper at Amazon then in the bookstores - or boat stores!!

Intracoastal Waterway Chartbook : Norfolk, Virginia, to Miami, Florida.......2005-10-09

A must for traveling the Intercoastal Waterway. A very detailed illustrative set of information to successfully achieve your trip.

Excellent source... More than a set of charts!.......1999-07-14

Very usable in it's small page spiral format. Flipping pages as one cruises north or south is easy, and takes very little space at the helm. The annotations indicating marina locations save looking in separate guides when a stopping point is desired. Some obvious side trips (e.g. Banana River) are omitted and would have helped increase usefulness if included.

Excellent up-to-date reference.......1999-04-11

The charts are well organized and very reliable. Only a minimum number of aids were missing or changed in number. Some of the bridge info is a little dated but generally did not cause any navigational problems.

Non-Custodial Dads Step up!.......2001-07-12

As a divorced father this book helped me immensely in not falling into the trap my ex has.

I never let what is going on with her and I conflict with parenting my children. As far as my kids are concerned mommy and daddy don't love each other anymore that's why they are divorced. THey also know that it's not their fault we divorcedand that WE both love them and that will never change.

This book is a must have for any father to truly understand what his rights are, how to handle the divorce with what a friend of mine says, "pizzazz." If you follow the guidelines here, you will be a better parent, a better spouse in the future and not gain a negative view that most "father's rights" group have. This was a joy to read and to implement in my life and that of my divorce.

Very valuable for divorcing parents!!.......1998-12-17

Healing Hearts is one of the books we use in our training of parents going through divorce. It is very well done. Borrowing a quote used in the book from Satchel Paige, "None of us is smarter than all of us". Of particular value is the focus on children and their needs and the emphasis on responsibilities and not rights.

The Cure for Crushes: (and Other Deadly Plagues)

ASIN: 1551926008

Book Description

Haley Andromeda is 16, and in her last year of high school - "The Greatest Year of My Life," or TGYML. Haley likes to think she's just a normal girl, plagued with all the normal doubts of a too-smart-for-her-own-good, slightly hypochondriac, hickey-prone teenager. But part way through the year, disaster strikes: Haley comes down with chickenpox; her best friend Jules won't speak to her; the object of her affections, a boy named J. T., won't even look at her; and worst of all, her harmless hippie Dad is in some mysterious trouble with the law. In desperation, Haley turns to the Ouija board and tries to communicate with the Other Side, but this leads to a further, unexpected complication: Why does the dead boy she channels seem more attractive than the real boy who wants to spend time with her? The Healing Time of Hickeys, written in diary form, takes the reader on a compelling, wryly funny journey to discover the answer to this question, and several more that Haley thinks she keeps hidden from everyone.

No more than 4.......2006-05-14

This book is about a 16 yr. old girl starting off her senior year of highschool. Haley is a slight hypochondriac, and that brings a lot of humour to the book because in one passage her father tells her that hypochondria is a sickness and to look it up. Refering to the numerous times she searches on Medline. Such as when she tripped over her cat and thought to possibly have Cat Scratch Disease.

She writes in her diary (aka her laptop), adressing it as JT junior (junior for short/ protection)nearly everyday about her life. She writes about her friends and their problems, about her father and his ability to have money but no real job, how her mother left her and her search to find her, her obession with JT, and the chicken pox which she got from the boy that gave her the infamous hickeys that just don't seem to disappear.

My only disappointment in this book is on the back with the discription. Sure, she contacts a spirit through the Ouija board a few times, but she's not "that" into it. Nothing really happens, in fact, it takes up barely in part in the plot. It seemed to just be stuffed in there to take up a line or twenty throught the entire 2nd half of the book.

Read Haley's Diary!.......2006-03-08

Have you ever kept a diary? In the book The Healing Time of Hickeys by Karen Rivers you get a chance to enter Haley's diary. Haley is a 16 year old girl who keeps a diary on her laptop computer. She names her diary Junior JT after her crush JT, but she calls her diary Junior for short. This is one of the funniest books I have ever read! If you like hilarious books or even hilarious movies, I highly recommend you read this book. Haley has never met her mom and liives with her dad who is a hippie. Her mom left her when she was a baby with her dad. Along the way, Haley gets the chicken pox, an awful haircut, and into a dilemma with a Ouija board. Will Haley ever meet her mom? Will Haley ever get her crush to fall in love with her? Will Haley ever find out what the healing time of hickeys is? You'll have to read this book to find out!

Pretty halarious........2004-06-16

Haley Andromeda was a typical teenage girl. Except for her dad being a hippie and growing pot in the basement, her having a hopeless crush on JT, one of the cutest guys in school, and being prone to hickey's from a Cutish Stanger. Ok, so she isn't so normal, but this book is definately halarious. I picked it up on one of my book store trips, and I've read it twice since then! Read it, you won't regret it.

Review from Alberta.......2003-10-25

An light enjoyable read. Karen rivers combines the style of bridget jones and Adrian Mole in this entertaining read.
This is a fun laughable teen read! Great if you love those diary style books. I had a good laugh reading it!

Book Description

Subaru and Jaguar provide outstanding examples of what can be achieved when brand development and relationship marketing are combined to create a world class brand. Subaru achieved victory in the World Rally Championship. Jaguar are now an important new player in Grand Prix racing. This book tells the inside stories behind these campaigns and brand building strategies, and will be of interest as compelling case studies of sports sponsorship and brand development.

Book Description

Firms everywhere are increasingly embedded in multidimensional relations, often crucially related to knowledge and technology transfers, and that occur at a local and global level. They may take the form of clusters, networks, inter-firm partnerships of value and production chains.
The book examines the thesis that global ties do not exclude but need and complement local ties. Presenting a series of case studies using original research, the books evidence ranges geographically from China, Taiwan and Thailand, through Italy and the UK to Mexico and the Latin American countries. The impressive range of contributors raise issues such as:
*does globalization hinder the developments of small and medium sized enterprises in the third world?
*Can local clusters of small business benefit from linking up with global firms and orgnaizations?
*Can local markets offer an alternative to global markets?
The critical and rigorous approach that this book offers will make it a important read for graduate students and researchers in industrial organization, development economics and small business economics. Policy-makers and practioners should also take heed of the lessons to be learnt from this impressive book.
