Book Description
Authors James D. Gwartney, Richard L. Stroup, Russell S. Sobel, and David Macpherson, believe that a course on principles of economics should focus on the power and relevance of the economic way of thinking. It is this belief and corresponding writing approach that has made Microeconomics: Private and Public Choice one of South Western Thomson Learning's most solid and enduring texts. Throughout this text, the authors integrate applications and real-world data in an effort to make the basic concepts of economics come alive for the reader.

Book Description
The book addresses three distinctive aspects of desert development: regional planning, urban environment and building. It summarizes the results of 20 years of research carried out by the Center for Desert Architecture and Urban Planning at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. In contrast to other books on desert development, the book considers physical development of desert regions not as an end in itself, but rather as an essential precondition for creating socially attractive and desirable environments for human settlement. Desert Regions consists of three parts, each of which considers different conceptual levels of desert development: I Regional Development and Population Change; II Cities of Cold and Hot Deserts; III Building and Design. In addition to the Israeli experience, the book includes research and design from other countries (Russia, Egypt, India, Mexico) which face acute problems of regional development in climatically extreme areas.

Book Description
This is a one-of-a-kind research text containing rare high-level coverage on the interrelationship between desert peoples and their environment. It contains 19 chapters in four sections covering human causes of desertification, environmental problems of living in arid regions, population dynamics in arid regions, and management, responsibilities, and policies. These examine how the impact of the population on the environment and the environment on the population of arid regions have changed over time. It also addresses questions of the changing relationships between people and their environment that include soil and vegetation degradation, scarce water resources, and how these shape the human population in terms of numbers and density of inhabitants - the so-called carrying capacity. Includes bibliographic references and index.

Description:
Climate change is a great concern and attracted attention of many researchers in the world. A study was conducted to determine the effects of regional parameters such as population change (@DP), number of motor-driven vehicles (NMDV), area covered by industrial crops (A), number of buildings (NB), and monthly extreme temperature trends in a developing semi-arid southeast region of Turkey, known as GAP area. Monthly extreme temperature series observed at 16 observation stations, covering the period of 1932-2002, with record length varying between 27 and 71 years, were utilized. Nonparametric Mann-Kendall test procedure was employed to detect monthly trends. Multiple and univariate linear regression analysis were employed to relate Mann-Kendall test statistic Z to the regional parameters. Spatial coverage maps of statistically significant upward and downward trends for each month were produced by using inverse distance squared weighting (IDSW) method. The most widespread upward trend was determined in January and July covering 42.9% and 40.9% of total area for maximum (T"m"a"x) and minimum (T"m"i"n) temperatures. There were no statistically significant (P=
<0.05) downward trends for extreme temperature series in the area studied. Multiple regression analysis (overall model) results revealed that determination coefficients for T"m"a"x and T"m"i"n were the highest as 94.0% in August and 87.8% in June. Univariate regression analysis led us to conclude that @DP and A were the most important parameters to detect trends in T"m"i"n and T"m"a"x series. Mann-Kendall test statistic Z for T"m"a"x in summer time was negatively correlated with A. This was likely due to direct human influence through irrigation practices as well as the construction of large man-made water bodies in the region. The @DP, NMDV, and NB were positively correlated with T"m"i"n, indicating that the cool period is gradually becoming warmer with time. We concluded that, as the area sown with industrial crops increases, there is a decrease in maximum temperatures due to the evaporative cooling mechanism. Increase in urbanization and/or industrialization, causes an increase in minimum temperatures in the area.

Description:
Shrubs are important elements of semi-desert vegetation. They provide microhabitats for the establishment of many species under their canopies thus maintaining community structure and diversity. Yet, little is known regarding their population processes and the factors that affect them. In this study, we report an analysis of the population dynamics of the shrub Acacia bilimekii. We followed a population sample (N=314) for a one-year period (2001-02) and built a projection matrix. We also carried out germination and seedling establishment experiments in two contrasting conditions: a well preserved and an eroded site, and both under the shade of shrubs and in the open. The results of these experiments were used to calculate the fecundity entries for the transition matrix. Germination was not affected by microhabitat (shade vs. open conditions) or site (eroded vs. well-preserved). However, seedling establishment after 7 months was significantly higher under the shade than in exposed conditions. Finite population growth rate was significantly higher than unity (@l=1.23+/-0.173). Stasis was the demographic process that contributed mostly to @l (ca. 60%), followed by growth and fecundity. Even with a simulated decrease in fecundity values due to increased erosion, the A. bilimekii population would maintain a high @l-value. Thus, our results suggest that this population has the potential to persist even under relatively high disturbance levels.

Description:
Sequence data from a 200bp fragment of the Cytochrome Oxidase I mitochondrial gene was derived from endemic populations of the darkling beetle Pimelia laevigata (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) from the volcanic islands of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro and from three related congeneric species of Tenerife (Canary Islands). Statistical phylogeographic methods and estimates of demographic parameters suggest that there is a higher genetic variation and geographical structure in two of the Tenerife nominal species than in populations of P. laevigata in the western islands. In La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro, the patterns are consistent with relatively recent colonizations, followed by range expansions. The results show that hypotheses based on coalescent theory can be useful to reconstruct historic biogeographical events of oceanic islands in a range of different organisms provided that the sample design is adequate and enough genetic resolution is present. However, some specific problems arise when interpreting the inference key applied to the volcanic islands populations.

A bit conveluded.......2007-03-09
Has many diagrams but doesn't bring the point home. Even for virology.
Excellent Virology book.......2007-02-07
Simple english, easy to understand, a lot of useful detail info.
Excellent for beginner or interested in viral molecular biology.

This is a readable book with good illustrations and summarizing schemes, tables... Good for both undergraduate and graduate students...
Good concepts.......2006-07-02
An interesting approach to understanding virology. Does not categorize by family but draws connections between different viruses, their life cycles, and mechanisms of subverting host defenses and processes. Emphasis on concepts and similarities. Great diagrams and cartoons.

Book Description
Traveling the world for eight decades, mountaineer, explorer, cartographer, and aerial photographer Bradford Washburn has documented the landscape from the Grand Canyon to the Alps, from Mount McKinley to Mount Everest. Genius has inspired him to pioneer photographic techniques that capture the most remote and inaccessible points on earth under conditions worthy of a stunt man. Genius has also transformed his photos-conceived for a purely functional purpose-into works of expressive art. Now the career of America's most celebrated mountain photographer is presented for the first time in book form.
In Bradford Washburn: Mountain Photography, one hundred large-format mountain photographs, selected from more than 10,000 images, take the reader through Washburn's lifetime of accomplishments. Aerial images of high mountains, looking more like bold relief maps, are captured in extreme raking light. There are picture essays of early Alaskan expeditions-striking modern still lifes of supply caches and camp conditions-plus portraits of team members and colorful characters and situations encountered along the way. Additional aerial photographs reveal, in breathtaking clarity, the workings of the earth, continuously transformed by upheavals and erosions, and the slow march and retreat of glaciers.

Bradford Washburn: Mountain Photography.......2007-04-03
I was looking for something different. The photographs are beautiful but they are mostly not of the mountain in which I was interested.
Bradford Washburn: Mountain Photography.......2005-10-17
TERRIBLE COPY - FALLING APART - PAID VERY HIGH PRICE AND WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE QUALITY OF THE BOOK. WHEN PURCHASED IT SAID IT WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
Picture the mountains in all their glory..........2003-01-15
This book is a marvelous record of mountain exploration and photography with photos that span a period of almost 70 years. This small collection representing much less than 1% of Washburn's photographs is a remarkable record of photography rivaling Ansel Adams or Vittorio Sella. Although the photos were originally taken to support his geological or surveying research or to provide guide shots for climbers, Washburn soon realized that he had a knack for taking photographs as art that were as good as any being produced by other photographers.
This book may be a disappointment for those who want expedition photographs as few of the photographs include people. Indeed, having a few more pictures of people would have warranted five stars. Yet, many of the pictures are aerial photographs so the lack of people in many is not surprising. What makes it ultimately worthwhile is the crispness of the pictures, the attention to details on the ridges and valleys of the mountains, the patterns revealed in the flow of glaciers, and so on.
One other point of interest is that this book was the Grand Prize Winner of the 2000 Banff Mountain Book Festival -- the only pure photography book to win that award.
A slight disappointment.......2001-07-29
After the exhiliration generated by Washburn's classic book on Denali, this one left me slightly disappointed. There are many exquisite photographs and a few truly great ones, such as the famous picture of climbers on the Doldenhorn (in the Bernese Alps). But on the whole there are just a little bit too many pictures of abstract geological features. These reveal a more scholarly side of Washburn's art: interesting to round out our view on this great artist, but less captivating than the epic mountain pictures. Also, there is an appendix with a detailed account of Washburn's career, with many little inset pictures of people he worked with (Barbara Washburn being the most prominent amongst them). I would have liked to see many more of these pictures and at a size more amenable to detailed study. A final point of criticism on this book concerns the interview with Washburn by the editor: it is very revealing but way too short! I would have guessed that Decaneas would have been able to extract much more material from all the conversations he has had with Washburn in the final years of his life. So, it's a nice book to have in the library, but Decaneas missed an opportunity to put together an absolute classic. Pity.
Museum quality visual images.......2001-03-16
Bradford Washburn roamed the globe for eighty years as a mountaineer, explorer, cartographer, and aerial photographer. In Bradford Washington: Mountain Photography, Tony Decaneas as assembled one hundred full-size landscape mountain photographs from the more than ten thousand images that Bradford made during his lifetime of photographic accomplishments. From the Grand Canyon to the Alps, from Mount McKinley to Mount Everest, these black and white landscape photos of mountain peaks and picture portraits of team members and colorful characters that are each of them museum quality visual images showcasing Bradford's photography as having risen to the level of fine art.
Book Description
North America's highest peak, Alaska's Mount McKinley-also known as Denali-rises majestically to a height of 20,320 feet. The book recounts the eventful history of the mountain, which since 1902 has been the site of some of mountaineering's supreme achievements. Coupled with these tales of adventure from two expert climbers are the stunning photographs of Bradford Washburn, who has conquered McKinley three times.

Gorgeous and full of information.......1999-10-21
Well written and encyclopedic in its range, this book is also full of amazing photographs.
Better than Ansel Adams!.......1997-10-23
This book is an absolute must for mountain and photography enthusiasts. Washburns photographs of Mt. Mckinley are beyond word description. This is the perfect coffee table book that you will look at hundreds of times. When people look at my copy they can't put it down. The mountain is viewed from every angle from high altitude to on the peak itself. Even though these photos were taken many years ago mountain climbers still use this book to get details for new routes. Washburn squeezes in the climbing history of Mckinley (Of which he and his wife are a big part of), between the incredible full page photos. I love this book. I tell friends that they can look at but don't ask to borrow it!

Childhood Sexual Abuse Stories.......2007-08-05
This material is timeless, in that the stories will always be relevant, though the problem with this book is that most of the stories are very dated in terms of the time in history that they occurred. My wife as a victim of childhood sexual abuse, would be a better story reference than someone from the 20's, 30's, 40's, or 50's... as the treatment of women during those decades was viewed completely different from the 60's going forward. Still a worthwhile read for women who need to understand they are not alone in this suffering, but it could do with some updated stories and references to more modern women.
Thanks.

Book for molested and raped females to know they are not alone........2007-06-27
If you are a male that was molested, this book may not help. The book also has overtones that males are all bad because of their sexual drive and females are predominantly victims of being primarily sexual objects. If you are looking to get over sexual abuse, this book does not seem to provide answers for how to find a cure.
Moving and Inspirational.......2006-01-30
This book gives women the opportunity to "speak" against the abuse that happened to them. I appreciated the way it was organized into types of abusers (fathers, family members, siblings, strangers, etc.) so that you could go to the areas that were of most interest to you. I would highly recommend this book to anyone having been through abuse as a child.
I saw myself in the pages..........2006-01-18
This book provides insight into the inner workings of child sexual abuse and why victims don't tell. The stories range from a quick one-time exposure to unthinkable brutality. Some perpetrators were strangers; others were family members. All caused lasting emotional damage. The accounts are so honest and true that they allowed me to recognize for the first time that I had been molested, and it completely changed my life.
I read "I Never Told Anyone" about twenty years ago, when I was still living with my parents, not long after I graduated from college. My mom had checked it out from the library, and the title haunted me because I, too, had a secret I had never told another living soul. I read the back cover and then kept moving the book away from wherever I was in the house, terrified of what was inside. Finally, I couldn't resist. I stayed up all night and read it from cover to cover. I saw my own story in the things that were said, the feelings that were expressed... For the first time I realized that maybe I wasn't evil; that maybe I didn't deserve to die; that instead, as an innocent child, I had been manipulated and molested.
It was the most difficult thing I have ever done, but because of this book, I did tell, and I got help. Child sexual abuse is extremely devastating, but there can be happy endings, and I am living one. Thank you so much, Ellen Bass and your courageous contributors, for your part in that.
Compelling--and quite graphic.......2005-07-02
I don't generally like short story format, but I found this book to be better than I expected. Just be warned that some of the stories are graphic and can be disturbing, so be prepared. It must have been quite empowering for the women to tell their stories since, as children, they likely kept it a secret. Another book that comes highly recommended is Miss America By Day by Marilyn VanDerber.

I highly recommend this book to any individual wanting to see CSS in action.
Not bad.......2007-07-10
Not a bad book
Very text heavy though and operates best as a reference book than anything else. CD that comes with it is useful.
You can work through this book over a weekend and get a firm grasp on CSS fundamentals. Not inspiring though, just handy.
I hate coding but this made it easy!.......2007-06-05
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for writing this book RACHEL ANDREW!
After many frustrating attempts looking for a CSS book, this is the only book I've found that had me ENJOYING doing the code. I'm a designer at heart and I HATE coding. This book made it very easy for me to get my CSS web pages quickly up and running.
Every section presents a question and an answer on how to do the CSS. For example "How do I create tabbed navigation with CSS?" She would then present the HTML, an image of how the page should look, then the CSS, and briefly explain how it works.
This is great for beginners and intermediate learning. It's not so heavy on theory that you get lost, she makes it easy to learn. I wish all coding books were like this.

Customer Reviews:
Just What I Needed.......2007-02-27
I purchased this book out of desperation after using a 1000 page Javascript Wrox book published in 2000 that was worse than useless. The author's blog posting here is very accurate: it is a modern javascript book that gives usable solutions and concepts that work well. I recommend this book to anyone who has at least some programming background and is sick of cut and pasting garbage code from other mickey mouse tutorial sites that break at the slightest change. It is also a great start for working with AJAX, which is what I needed it for.
That said, the book is surprisingly a great read. I am reading this book cover to cover and also use it as an every day reference with dozens of tips. It is obvious the authors have worked extensively with web sites and write from experience. Thanks for a job well done!
Javascript 4 U.......2007-02-16
This is an excellent next-step up from an introduction to Javascript and looks at its use in real world situations. You will need to be reasonably fluent in the language to get the best out of it.
The book presents a topic as a question and then presents code to action that query as a solution, then goes through that code in a discussion section. This is where I have a relatively minor criticism of this book; the necessities of discussing the code do not always mesh well with the question and answer format of the layout.
The authors have gone to great effort to ensure that the book is as up-to-date as possible, though this is a rapidly moving target of course, and detail how to ensure that the code will run on as many platforms as possible, rarely giving up and saying 'forget it..', though this proved necessary in a number of the more esoteric options and older browsers.
A highly recommended read if you are looking for a quick solution, or a detailed understanding of what's going on.
The most useful JavaScript book on my shelf.......2007-02-06
I didn't really think I needed this book -- I have sever other JavaScript books, including the O'Reilly JavaScript Cookbook, and it seemed like this would just be a duplication. But I kept reading really positive reviews of this and other SitePoint books on sites that I trusted, so I decided to take a flier on it.
I'm really glad I did. Unlike some of the O'Reilly books, which are dated at this point, this has really up-to-date, professional code that incorporates best practices. Depending on what kind of JavaScript code base you need to integrate with, you may be able to use this code as-is in many instances. Even if you need to modify it for your own uses, you will never find poorly-organized hackwork here.
Also nice is the up-to-date topic selection. Classics like DOM, form validation, drop-down menus, and cookies are supplemented with topics about accessibility, XMLHttpRequest, in-page dialogs, and using class prototypes. When the authors tell you how to launch popups, they also tell you about all the pitfalls and problems.
No cookbook is going to cover ever possible topic (personally, I would have liked to see JSON examples), but this one is about as complete as you could reasonably ask for. Really, the only downside about this book that I can see is that you need to have at least an intermediate understanding of JavaScript to understand what's going on. There isn't a lot of handholding, and you will likely want to own both a good tutorial and a solid reference on JavaScript and spend some time with them before you're ready for this book. But if you have a good working knowledge of JavaScript and are looking for practical, well-written examples of how to incorporate new techniques into your code, you won't find a better book than this one.
Good and elegant book.......2007-01-24
It is a good book with useful tips and tricks.
the authors use an elegant way to catch the target.
For serious developers!.......2007-01-10
This book has chosen a different approach for teaching javascript to the readers. It first raises a question and then gives you the solution. What I like most about this book is that the solutions are very brief yet complete.It is obvious that the authors have years of work experience in web-development industry because they mention all the most popular problems that a developer might face while developing a website. (If they wanted to point all the tips and tricks, the book had to be named 10001 tips and tricks not 101 ... !!!).
I'm not quite sure if this book can be very handy for absolute beginners. I had a good(but not extremely good) understanding of javascript yet there were parts of this book that I struggled to understand. However, if you are serious about javascript, this book is the one you can't afford to miss!
