          Book Description

          Most books covering the use of computer models in agricultural management systems target only one or two types of models. There are few texts available that cover the subject of systems modeling comprehensively and that deal with various approaches, applications, evaluations, and uses for technology transfer. Agricultural System Models in Field Research and Technology Transfer fills this need. It presents the latest advances in the use of various computer models in agricultural management systems. This authoritative reference provides guidance on the use of models in field research, decision support, precision farming, and technology transfer to farmers and ranchers. Derived from an international symposium co-sponsored by the American Society of Agronomy, the Soil Science Society of America, and the USDA's Agricultural Research Service, it analyzes current system model applications for the modeling of natural resources, crop production, grazing lands, and animal production systems. Leading international agricultural system scientists present their experiences and provide guidance on how models can be used to enhance the quality of field research, transfer of research information and technology to farmers and ranchers, and decision support for agricultural management. They provide an expert review of the existing problems and possible solutions to improve future applications. In addition, Agricultural System Models in Field Research and Technology Transfer explores the possible use of an international modular computer framework to improve current modeling procedures in an effort to develop problem-specific models in the future.

            Book Description

            This volume reviews the current status with respect to both theory and observation of the extragalactic distance scale. A sufficient accuracy is required both for a precise determination of the cosmological parameters and also in order to achieve a better understanding of physical processes in extragalactic systems. The "standard candles", used to set up the extragalactic distance scale, reviewed in this book include cepheid variables, RR Lyrae variables, novae, Type Ia and Type II supernovae as well as globular clusters and planetary nebulae.

            Book Description

            Corduroy and his friends are heading to the beach for a fun-filled day of playing by the sea. First they jump over the waves and fly kites, then it's time for a tasty picnic lunch and a special treat—ice cream! In the afternoon, Corduroy and his pals collect seashells and build sandcastles. Seven spreads filled with thirty-five flaps will keep small fingers happily busy.

            5 out of 5 stars Great for young children.......2007-01-09

            As with all of the Corduroy Lift the Flap books (Easter, Christmas, Beach, Halloween, Firehouse, Zoo, Birthday--no longer in print, and Library), this one rates 5 stars......and we own them all! These rate as our absolute favorites in our book collection. The text is not lengthy and the flaps keep my two 1/2 year olds hands busy enough for me to read the text before he is on to the next page. For this reason, they were the only books we read for a long time. The illustrations are fantastic! The story takes you on the course of Corduroy's day-- packing for the beech, finding a spot in the sand, taking a swim, flying a kite, getting ice cream and going on rides on the boardwalk, and looking for treasures in the sand. Enjoy!

            5 out of 5 stars A great book to talk about the beach to your child.......2006-12-19

            We bought this book just before we went on a beach vacation for our 18 month old. He loves Corduroy. This book has great pictures and the flaps make it very interesting. I looked really hard for a good beach book for my son. This one is the best!

                              Muay Thai, also referred to as Thai boxing, combines fitness training, self-defense, and competitive sport. In this hands-on guide, renowned trainer Christoph Delp presents the sport’s history, development, rules, and equipment. In the techniques section, he first details basic skills such as the correct starting position and footwork. Next he offers a complete list of all the attacking techniques and a selection of effective defensive and counterattacking strategies. All techniques are presented step-by-step by Thai champions from the famous Sor Vorapin gym in Bangkok, showing readers the fine details of each technique. The training section provides detailed information about the structure, content, and planning of training regimens and this includes historical training methods, a stretching program, and training schedules. Suitable as both a self-training guide and a supplement to club training, Muay Thai Basics offers authoritative instruction for Thai boxers and other martial arts enthusiasts.

                              5 out of 5 stars great .......2007-05-18

                              I have this book and its been very useful to learn the basics from as I work night shift and know of no muay thai school in my area. covered are basics strikes as well as drill with the pads

                              3 out of 5 stars Okay book to learn the basics.......2006-08-09

                              I picked up this book to supplement my Muay Thai training. The books used a lot of glossy photos to demonstrate the technique. The section on stretching is nice. The footwork section left me with a lot of questions though(not too clear)!! It also includes an example training plan. IMHO, nothing takes the place of a experienced live instructor to help critique and correct your form. Hopefully, they will include a section on bag work in the next edition.

                              5 out of 5 stars Fills in the gaps.......2006-04-24

                              I just started training Muay Thai and I bought this book to supplement my time in the gym. This book is an excellent addition to my training and I consider my self lucky to have found it when I did. The history of the art is great and so are the explanations of the techniques.

                              This is a great book for those of us just starting out.
                              My only caveat is that Mr. Delph goes to great lenghts to state that he feels Muay Thai was ruined in "certain English speaking regions". Then he goes on to demonstrate a hook and he is clearly hitting with the last two knuckles. These are the weakest part of the hand and in reality one would end up with a broken hand no matter how well wrapped it was. humpf!

                              4 out of 5 stars Good book for beginers.......2006-02-28

                              This is good book for MT starters. Also it price is very reasonable. In there are color pictures which is not very often. Very good topics on Thai culture and MT rituals.
                              Techniques in there are basic: jab, cross, hooks, uppercuts, Thai round kick, front Teep, also very rare seen in MT bouts spining kick.
                              The reason why I give 4 not all 5 stars is clinch work which is very basic thing in MT from Thailand and here needs to be covered more. Too little is written on it.
                              I hope that in other book which I will order from same author it will be more clinch work.

                              All in all from all MT books that I own, this is second in my ratings.
                              Hope Cristop Delp will written more good books on national Thai sport.

                              5 out of 5 stars Perfect Muay Thai Book!.......2006-02-27

                              The book first describes the development, the history and the rules of Muay Thai and presents the necessary equipment.
                              In the second section, the fighting position, the steps and the fighting distance are explained.
                              In the third section, the attack techniques are described in detail: fist techniques, elbow techniques, kick techniques, knee techniques and clinch techniques. Muay Thai champions demonstrate the techniques in numerous pictures. As a result, the techniques can easily be copied.
                              In the fourth section, combinations for training at the sandbag and pads are demonstrated. The fifth section demonstrates a number of important defense and counter techniques. Additional techniques are demonstrated in the other book on Muay Thai written by the same author. The sixth section presents the content of a Muay Thai training section.

                              The book is excellently structured: the Muay Thai skills are passed on step by step. I also find the book design excellent. The large book is in color throughout and the pictures are superb. This is the optimum book for beginners and as an accompaniment to training!

                              5 out of 5 stars very handy.......2004-12-25

                              I consider myself beginner in spanish. The only sentence that I can confidently say is "Habla usted ingles?". I took this book and Oxford spanish dictionary to my eight day trip to Guadalajara, Mexico. This book became so handy that I left the Oxford dictionary in my hotel room.

                              Besides words and phases, it provide menu reader and other very useful information about Mexico. i.e. Under a word "phone", it describes how to use public phone in Mexico. I didn't realize most public phones only accept phone card and only the phone card from their company. I suggest buying Telmax phone card, since you can only find Telmax public phones.

                              This book is well worth the price.

                              4 out of 5 stars Quite useful.......2004-11-18

                              The first time I went to Mexico I tried my Galician on the people and I did not get anywhere. They simply could not understand me. Recently I have been back and took this guide with me. It made a lot of difference. I managed to communicate and the Mexican people I talked to looked happy I spoke their language instead of trying to impose the language of Spain on them.

                              This guide covers all the expected areas, like food, shopping, accommodation, etc. It is very good, but more phrases would be even more helpful. Then you could use the vocabulary lists in more combinations and enlarge what you can say. Perhaps there will be an extended edition with more of it. I will buy it too!

                              4 out of 5 stars Worth the Price.......2004-09-07

                              Though I would not suggust a nonspaniish speaker to enter Mexico with only this limited dictionary, it is a great suppliment. It has very useful words that are common in Mexico plus some great slang. It also has little bits of info next to certain words to aid in its correct usage. I spent an extensive amount of time in Mexico and got this little book's worth many times over.

                              5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!.......2000-06-26

                              I bought this book in conjunction with Barron's Law Enforcement Spanish kit. "Mexican Spanish - The Rough Guide" is an outstanding pocket reference! I learned to conjugate verbs very easily given the simple description in the Rough Guide. I particularly like the contextual listings for words in the dictionary section. Very useful! I have several other Spanish books and dictionaries, and they are gathering dust now. I highly recommend this book.

                              On my first extensive trip through Mexico, I found this book (along with "The People's Guide to Mexico") to be far more useful than any regular Spanish (meaning, almost always, Castillian) dictionary. In fact, I found it to be much more relevant than the Rough Guide to Mexico! My only regret is that the book isn't longer. It's actually a lot of fun to read. I especially appreciated that it includes many conversational phrases, not just single words. Considering that like English, Spanish isn't particularly literal as spoken actually spoken, books like this are a must for those of us still learning that beautiful language. More to the point, guides to Mexican Spanish are in unduly short supply. This one's a boon and a bargain.

                                  Book Description

                                  The Trajectory of Change charts a course for the growing, international movement against corporate globalization. Michael Albert, a longtime activist and analyst of popular struggles, challenges the movement to reach out to "ordinary people" by demonstrating how their lives are negatively affected by creeping corporatism.

                                  Albert connects issues confronting working people in the United States (such as access to health care, workplace rights and safety, declining wages, and unemployment) to a critique of institutions that currently dominate the global economy. And he offers a compelling argument for a strategy based on civil disobedience and protest rather than individual acts of vandalism or violence.

                                  Albert also suggests reasons for the recent revival of political protest, from the Battle in Seattle to the demonstrations in Quebec,Canada, and Genoa, Italy. At the same time, he argues that it isn't enough for protesters to stand against global economic injustice. To be effective, Albert argues that we need to develop a clear vision of what we stand for. He makes the case for collectively creating a vision of a participatory, democratic, and egalitarian society.

                                  Michael Albert is a founder of Z Magazine and Z Net, a web site and electronic commentary service based in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. He also co-founded South End Press. He is the author of Looking Forward (with Robert Hahnel) and Stop the Killing Trade, among other books on economics and social change.

                                  5 out of 5 stars not communism.......2006-03-13

                                  This is an excellent book by a well read, thoughtful activist who is, by the way, not a communist. Many of Albert's other works, along with Robin Hahnel, describe an alternative economic system to both capitalism and communism called a participatory economy - parecon for short. The Trajectory of Change is written to point out tools and activities that we can use so that we will some day achieve it.

                                  Contrary to what the other reviewer says, this alternative system would not destroy incentive, take away peoples dreams, place everyone under State rule or take away anything from the vast majority of people. Albert and Hahnel describe a system that would give people real incentive by compensating everyone for their effort and sacrifice; that would empower people's dreams through eliminating the limitations of a system based in private ownership of productive property, corporate hierarchies, disempowering jobs and an unfair, inefficient market; that would eliminate the State as we've known it by replacing it with a bottom-up federation of democratic councils in which everyone would participate at the base; and in which no one, rather than the State or capitalists, would own the productive property, thus allowing everyone to benefit from it. As well, less than 20% of the population owns these things now and subsequently use them to exploit the other 80 plus percent. The only people that need fear parecon are the corporate CEOs and VPs, Presidents, Prime Ministers, and the rest of the ruling elite.

                                  This Michael Albert is a Communist. Period! The problem with his logic is there is no logic. A system which destroys the incentive to go beyond others and excel is a system of medieval lunacy. The world economies over the last 250 years are based on men and women pursuing their dreams. Socialism takes this away from people who want more in life. To place everyone under State Rule would be disastrous for all on earth.
                                  Again these left wing people can't see beyond their front yard.
                                  They fail to see the consequences of their actions.They are simply communist and thieves who want to take away from you and me and give to the state to be distributed equally. Now tell me why work hard if their is no reward. These people should scare everyone.

                                  5 out of 5 stars strategy for revolution.......2002-05-18

                                  In The Trajectory of Change, Michael Albert offers his criticisms and suggestions for the left, a movement that has yet to live up to its potential. He begins from the assumption that mass mobilization is the only way to force fundamental social change. Elites and other privileged groups don't respond to well-reasoned calls for equality, only to popular and militant demands for change -- as seen in the struggles for labor rights, civil rights, women's rights, and against the Vietnam war. Yet activists frequently forget the need to mobilize and concentrate instead on refining their own tactics, distancing themselves from the people they need to actually win change.

                                  If we accept the need to organize ever greater numbers of people with ever greater militancy, where do go then? According to Albert we first have to reach out beyond social barriers like race and class (leftist university students need to talk to people in sports bars), and then we have to give a lot of thought to the "stickiness problem". That is, why do so few people stick with left activism after being exposed to it?

                                  The two key issues Albert brings up are a lack of vision and a culture of personal criticism. If the movement can offer incisive critiques of social inequality but has no idea what institutions it wants to put in place, isn't activism literally pointless? And if interpersonal relations in the left have more to do with castigating activists who eat at McDonald's, wear Nikes, or watch TV than with making friends and partying, who would want to stay?

                                  Running through each of Albert's arguments is the idea that we have to start paying attention to class. The left is now highly sensitive to race and gender inequality, both within and without the movement. So why is class inequality ignored in society and reproduced in our organizations? Albert has his own highly original explanation for why attention to class, once the preeminent target, virtually disappeared from the left (pp. 87-103), but the ultimate point is that classlessness needs to become a priority again -- both because the left opposes oppression and because working people won't find the left attractive until it stops reproducing the hierarchical forms of organization they suffer from every day in their work lives.

                                  In all, this is a vital book for anyone working for social change. And it's short enough that even the busy activist can read it in a couple days.

                                    This collection examines new developments in economic and security co-operation in the Asia-Pacific in relation to two recent "shock" events that have significantly impacted upon the region, these being the 1997/98 East Asian financial crisis and the September 11 attacks on the United States. These are examined through three "prime dimensions" of analysis, namely: the tension between the "post-shock" forces of "imperative co-operation" and the counter-forces of Asia-Pacific "complex diversity"; the growing conflation between economic and security issues--or the "economics-security nexus"--in Asia-Pacific international relations; the relationship between the Asia-Pacific's new economic and security bilateralism and regional-level forms of co-operation, integration and governance.
