    Book Description

    This is the third volume of Immanuel Wallerstein's essays to appear in Studies in Modern Capitalism, following the immensely successful collections The Politics of the World Economy and The Capitalist World Economy. Written between 1982 and 1989, the essays in this volume offer Wallerstein's perspective on the events of the period, and the background to his interpretation of the momentous events of 1989. Wallerstein argues that the collapse of the Iron Curtain and the process of perestroika bear out his basic analysis: that the decline of U.S. hegemony in the world-system is the central explanatory variable of change; and that the collapse of the communist empire and the approach of European unity cannot be understood without reference to this decline as a critical stage in the cyclical rhythm of the capitalist world economy. As part of the analysis the book also charts the development of a challenge to the dominant "geoculture": the cultural framework within which the world-system operates. This collection offers the latest ideas of one of the most original and controversial thinkers of recent years, and is bound to stimulate debate among students and scholars across the social sciences.

      Book Description

      The Organization in Crisis brings together a team of leading international researchers and practitioners to study the implementation and impact of organizational changes such as downsizing, restructuring and privatization.

      The text provides a unique combination of research, theory and practice, and not only examines key issues associated with organizational change, but also suggests how such changes can be better managed in the future. Specific topics considered include the new employment relationship and its implications for careers, how organizational changes are affecting manager's views of their working lives, ethical issues in downsizing, and best practices for organizational renewal and revitalization. A range of case studies provides world-wide examples of initiatives being undertaken by leading-edge firms.

      Together, the contributors capture the global nature of the difficulties confronting organizational leaders and highlight the need for creative solutions.

        Book Description

        Heteropterans regularly cause a wide variety and large number of problems for humans - at times on a catastrophic scale. The 37,000 described species of this suborder including many pests, disease transmitters, and nuisances exist worldwide, inflicting damage on crops, forests, orchards, and human life. Inspired by the widespread economic impact of this activity, Heteroptera of Economic Importance presents the most thorough, detailed account of true bugs to date, from the bloodsucking bed bug to the dreaded assassin bug. It is the definitive source for biological information not only on true bugs of economic importance, but on the general biology of the major families of Heteroptera as well. Heteroptera of Economic Importance integrates the best of insect-focused and crop-oriented references, synthesizing the biology, behavior, and ecology of the true bugs. Each entry includes a detailed life history, helping you to evaluate the impact of harmful and useful Heteroptera. The thorough, comprehensive bibliographies support further research. Separate indices to insects and plants let you adapt the book to your use. It covers the physiology of plant damage and predation by this cosmopolitan group. This coverage, along with information on control measures and natural enemies, helps you evaluate and compare the best methods of management. Heteroptera can be serious crop pests, harmful to humans, or can be valuable as biological control agents. This work discusses them individually, with expert presentation of the biology, distribution, damage, and control of each economically significant insect. As a resource that lets you easily access information and research on related bugs globally, Heteroptera of Economic Importance lends itself to sharing of ideas and information across geographical boundaries which will inevitably yield more research, new ideas, and better control.

        This book is chock full of information, much much more than the professor could ever get through in one semester. The information is very dry and bland.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent zoology textbook.......2003-11-01

        My background is in geology, but recently I've found my interest in zoology growing. This textbook was exactly what I was looking for--and more. My formal education in biology is quite meager, but Parts I and II of this book provided me with all the background (with good depth) I needed in order to understand the remaining three parts.

        The writing was among the best I've ever read in a textbook: very clear and easy to read. The illustrations and photos are wonderful (and all but a few are in color). The authors and editors surely put in a great deal of effort to make this book easy to learn from and use... and they succeeded. I never thought I'd enjoy reading a textbook so much!

        5 out of 5 stars This book is a classic.......2000-09-21

        Hard to improve on the previous editions, however, I like the tremendous online support that accompanies this newest edition. As always the text is consistantly readable, and the authors do a good job of dealing with the broad scope of the subject.

        1 out of 5 stars Hated this book!.......2007-08-24

        I will begin by saying that I'm a pharmacy major, not a bio major. I wouldn't reccommend this book for a non-bio major. Don't let the title fool you; this book is packed full of information, 99% of which is USELESS! It seems like the authors tried to include miniscule detail imaginable. It is not uncommon to find 4 bold words (bold=important, supposedly) in a SINGLE SENTENCE! This makes it very hard to filter the useful information from the useless. I gave up trying to read this text after the first week of my course. It did not help me at all! Big waste of money.

        5 out of 5 stars revisionists make it squeakie current.......2007-07-27

        Excellent book. there are 38 chapters and I believe they extensively revamped and updated 37 of them. Get the most current edition, otherwise you will not have adapted as well as you could.

        5 out of 5 stars Dense, but good.......2006-11-04

        I bought this book for my Zoology 1 class, and found the book to be arranged in a logical manner with review material at the end of each chapter. Some of the material and explainations were dense and wordy, but overall I was highly please with the book.

        4 out of 5 stars Zoo Text.......2005-09-30

        A very good book for the average college student in a zoology area. It covers the basic cell biology in the beginning, through meiosis. Then it proceeds up through single, and multi celled creatures, explaining the development, reproduction, adaptation and life cycles. The only downside is the price. between this book and the lab manual, the price will set you back somewhat.

          I was very disappointed is this here monograph. It pretty much sucked and I did not get much out of it. It was all about animals and stuff. It has like a Panda on the cover, but in truth panda bears recieve scant attention. I guess that goes to show that the old saying is true: one can never judge a book by its cover.

                      Book Description

                      Nick Brandt depicts the animals of East Africa with an intimacy and artistry unmatched by other photographers who choose wildlife as their subject. He creates these majestic sepia and blue-tone photos contrasting moments of quintessential stillness with bursts of dramatic action by engaging with these creatures on an exceptionally intimate level, without the customary use of a telephoto lens. Evocative of classical art, from dignified portraits to sweeping natural tableaux, Brandt's images artfully and simply capture animals in their natural states of being. With a foreword by Alice Sebold and an introduction by Jane Goodall, On This Earth is a gorgeous portfolio of some of the last wild animals and a heartfelt elegy to a vanishing world.

                      I bought this book as a gift for someone who had just visited East and South Africa. They were thrilled with the absolutely beautiful photography and the memories it evoked of their trip.

                      5 out of 5 stars Just Stunning.......2007-08-31

                      I own many, many photography/art books and this one without a doubt is my favorite.

                      The photography is simply stunning. Brant shoots his work on medium format infrared film and that is a great combination to use.

                      Having travelled extensively in Africa and being a keen photographer myself, I was happy to find this title in one of the Dutch photography magazines. The book is apparently not for sale in Holland, so I bought it at Amazon's.
                      My collection of photography books consists mainly of black and white photography. I am sure buyers will love the images in this book as much as I do, allbeit some pictures are a bit over the top, due to the infrared film used. Nevertheless the photos are just overwhelming; it feels like standing there yourself!
                      Next to 'The Great Migration' by Carlo Mari (which has a different approach) and 'Pink Africa' (also by Carlo Mari, and obviously in color) this book is among my favorite books on wildlife in Africa!

                      Nick Brandt is one of the most talented and sensitive photographers of the 21st century.
                      His vision and technique is unmatched.
                      The patience involved in capturing these sometimes rare creatures is incredible let alone to produce such aweinspiring images.

                      5 out of 5 stars Moments of recognition!.......2007-02-18

                      Great photo's of, for us, familiar parts of Africa. Shows the game in a different light.
                      Every new page is an inspiration! Not only for photografers but for travellers also.

                      5 out of 5 stars great book.......2007-03-24

                      This is a great book . I have all the Benoit books and dvds. I think this is the best of the Benoit books. There is so much info in these books it's not right out front , it's between the lines but be assured its there. Tracking is regional but the Whitetail info is not. I have learned more about mature Whitetails from the Benoit books and dvds than any other source. Larry's the man no doubt but Lanny Benoit may be the best pure deer hunter alive. Theres a little horn tooting in the book but as someone once said " If you can do it it ain't braggin ". I have Hal Bloods book too it is also very very good. If you buy just one book on tracking buy this one or Hals.

                      3 out of 5 stars Average Book........2004-11-02

                      The book does a good job outlining the tracking methods that the Benoits use to consistently harvest large bucks. There are also several interesting stories of deer hunting adventures within the book.

                      These tracking methods are regional in nature and not very useful in the midwest where I primarily hunt. For anyone who hunts from a stand, this book will be a dissapointment.

                      I read the book from my local library rather than purchasing it and I am glad that I did.

                      Overall, it is a good read but not worth the money unless you hunt in the northeast like the Benoits.

                      3 out of 5 stars If you are stump sitter, this book is not for you.......2003-02-04

                      If you track or stalk deer then you can learn a lot from this book. The Benoit's are quite remarkable with their year over year successes. However, if you are a stand hunter or hunt in private land areas that don't allow tresspassers then this book is basically worthless other than the nice pictures in it.

                      5 out of 5 stars Tracking Big Bucks on Snowy Days.......2003-01-28

                      This is one of the best and most unique whitetail hunting books I've read. The classic and now out-of-print "How to Bag the Biggest Buck of Your Life," did a great job of describing the Benoit tracking method. This newest book is even better.

                      "Big Bucks the Benoit Way" is an excellent presentation of how the Benoits hunt. The Benoits are almost exclusively trackers, and they base their techniques on what their vast experience has proven to work best: not on the theories of others. This independent thinking makes this a very refreshing book, and their dozens of 200-pound plus bucks prove that they know what they are doing.

                      This book is loaded with great photos of big bucks and the Benoits in their trademark green and black wool jackets. There's plenty of shots of sagging meat poles, the deep woods on snowy days, and the tracks and rubs of big bucks.

                      Most valuable though, is the great information on how the Benoits find, identify, and then follow the track of a heavy buck until they successfully bag him. While few of us will ever be so spectacularly successful using these methods, all of us can learn from this book. I've successfully used these same Benoit methods to track down and bag trophy bucks from Montana to Wisconsin.

                      Hunters who enjoy this book share a kinship in understanding the magic of the deep woods and a fresh tracking snow and the smoking hot track of a big buck. If you are that type of hunter, you will like this book.

                      3 out of 5 stars Not very useful.......2006-07-15

                      I didn't bother reading the reviews on Amazon.com when I bought this which was a big mistake. I decided to buy this book on impulse more than anything else at Dymocks. I just really wanted to buy something I suppose.
                      When I read about the author's credentials in teaching Russian (none), it should have rang a bell (ding! ding!) It didn't.
                      Whilst I'm sure the author's really, really good at... Russian, he's definitely not very good at *teaching* it, which is what I'm more interested in as the student. The way he teaches how to read the Cyrillic alphabet, the way to remembering what's stressed & what's not & various other essentials (some of which aren't covered) are very lax, to say the least. I don't mean to sound too harsh or anything but if you're intent on actually LEARNING Russian, this book won't help you. If you want to learn a word here & there to impress someone, then this book might be the one.

                      The reason I didn't give the book a 1 is:
                      -He can write English well & explains himself clearly
                      -The book looks pretty
                      -Some interesting points are made

                      I recommend "Russian Course". That's THE book to use to learn Russian.

                      5 out of 5 stars Learn the Cyrillic Alphabet and Proceed!.......2006-07-14

                      Once you learn the alphabet (no small feat) you'll have fun with this book. And, you'll UNDERSTAND why Russian-speakers have difficulty learning perfect English (and that will be an epiphany).

                      So, in all circumstances, try this book out. Knowledge of another language that has gender cases for nouns (such as German) is helpful, because you have already jumped that hoop. Get ready to encounter a language with no real prepositional phrases, definite articles ("the"), and no particular concern about word order. However, it can be fun, and will give you some great insights into one of the world's great and most spoken languages. All thanks to St. Cyril, who wanted to invent an alphabet that took the best from the available ones. He missed on a few points, and those are worth discovering too!

                      One of the best free-standing Russian language books I have uncovered.

                      5 out of 5 stars A Great Starting Resource.......2006-05-17

                      The Complete Idiot's Guide to Learning Russian starts where it should: the Cryllic Alphabet, and it gives a good breakdown and a lot of sample words to go along with it. Then it gets into grammar, slowly etching vocabulary into your mind as you read. It's a really good introduction, and the fact that it stays with the Cryllic alphabet throughout lends it a lot of face in my eyes, because in reality you're not really accomplishing anything without using their alpahabet. As always with languages, you'll want to get a good set of CDs or tapes to go along, because without hearing the language there's no point, but I really must strongly recommend this book. It's witty once in a while, fun all the time, and doesn't let you get bogged down in the extreme nuances of grammar. If you want to begin the road to fluency in Russian, buy this book. You won't regret it.

                      3 out of 5 stars Okay but not all you need.......2006-01-01

                      This book is okay, I mean it was a nice introduction to Russian but I had to buy many other books to further my studies. This book is NOT, I reapeat, IS NOT going to teach you all you need to even be conversational let alone fluent. The book has non sequiter chapters about things that really aren't quintessential to the beginning student of the Russian Languages. One good point fo the book is that it has an excellent chapter on expalining cases in Russian which is a difficult concept to the English speaker. I reccomend getting an outling on Russian grammar and a Russian vocabulary booster to go with this if you want this to be your main text on learning Russian.

                      4 out of 5 stars A good "starter" book..........2005-04-04

                      Because this is labeled as an "Idiot's Guide" does not mean that you can sprint through the book. The focus is mainly on spoken Russian - how to communicate. It's a good overview of the language, teaches a broad range of vocabulary, gives a decent but not exhaustive explanation of grammar and pronounciation, and keeps it all interesting and fun. Each section stands on it's own, so you can skip around without getting totally lost.

                      Book Description

                      A luxury-hotel manager reveals what goes on behind closed doors...and sometimes, right out in the hallway.

                      The manager of an exclusive boutique hotel (who shall remain nameless) exposes the low-life styles of the rich and famous.

                      And we're not talking just loud all-night bashes...

                      The anonymous author has encountered lavish drug parties, gorgeous call girls, naked guests falling out of windows, $9,000 bottles of wine, astronomical telephone porn bills, bathtubs of Evian, and on more than one occasion, dead sheep. And every dirty word of it is true.

                      This is a trawl through the decadence and debauchery of the ultimate service industry - where money not only talks, but gets guests the best room, the best service, and also entitles them to behave in any way they please.

                      A must-read for anyone who has ever worked for a luxury hotel, or just stayed in one. I've been in the industry for 6 years with 4 different luxury properties, and the stories and characters are as real to me as the people I've met in my daily life. The book is funny and gives the reader a true picture of what goes on within the four walls of the top hotels all over the world. Not all is as perfect as it may appear on the surface.

                      4 out of 5 stars Ideal for the business traveller..........2007-02-06

                      I am a business traveller, and I spend most of time in Hotels around the world. More than once I have wondered what really happens behind those beautiful facades that you find in many of the best Hotels. This books talks about the real people in the Hotel industry, the games they play, the screw ups and the simple day to day.
                      Imogen writes the stories in a way that sometimes is difficult to know what is better, to laugh or to cry...but one way or the other you will feel the emotion and never look at a Hotel room the same way again...

                      Even though my only connection with the hotel business is as an occupant, I enjoyed this book. It managed to be both informing and funny at the same time. I laughed out loud more than once.

                      4 out of 5 stars Could you work in a hotel?.......2006-09-24

                      Nah I couldn't. And if you've ever had any ideas, I suggest you read this book first - you might well & truly change your mind. Imogen Edward-Jones writes alongside an annoymous ex (or current) hotel worker, and manages to condense the goings on into 24 hours. Each chapter is a different hour (6-7, 7-8 etc), and you're literally whisked along, into the world of hotels.

                      This was so popular here in the UK, that it was made into a TV series starring the lovely Max Beesley. I didn't see it, but there's another series airing in January.

                      What I love about this book, is that you can read it in no time. It's quick, easy and simple. And you'll learn some amazing things about hotels whilst reading it. How they manage to charge the prices they do for rooms, what really goes on behind the scenes, what the staff really say behind your back, amongst other things. Hotel Babylon is a real eye opener. Quickly following it is Air Babylon & Fashion Babylon.

                      I think Imogen Edward-Jones is onto a sure thing here, although I was slightly disappointed by Air Babylon. Hotel Babylon is definitely one to read first, you won't be disappointed!
