Globalization and Urbanization in Africa

Book Description

Scholars present new interpretations of African cities, from the pre-colonial to the modern, set in the context of national and international economy, politics and culture. While providing insights into the evolution of African cities, they also raise issues of vital importance to the survival of African cities. The chapters capture the mixed legacies of colonialism and the lingering consequences of neo-colonialism in a so-called age of globalization.

Book Description

These proceedings bring together the papers and an executive summary of an international workshop organized by the NEA. The workshop addressed the many emerging issues related to the characterization of long-term geological changes and reviewed relevant experience in national programs for radioactive waste disposal.

All You Ever Wanted To Know About Yogurt.......2003-10-20

This is the definitive book on yogurt. In addition to providing the history of yogurt and how it is made; there are numerous tasty recipes to wet your appetite. I had never even tasted yogurt before reading this book, but now it is a staple on my weekly shoping list. What better recommendation is that?

Book Description

Written with the non-major/allied health student in mind, the authors use common, everyday analogies to explain the many difficult microbiology concepts. Unlike any other allied health microbiology textbook on the market, the art program showcases beautiful illustrations with the use of bold, primary colors. A taxonomic approach is used for the study of pathogens.

Not the bargain you imagine.......2007-09-22

The price compared to the bookstore is great, but after purchasing and taking to class I realize why. It's missing several chapters at the end of the book. The hardcover you find in bookstores has at least 3 or more chapters. If your class doesn't go that far, then you're good. If it does...well then you're going to have problems. Everything else is fine, but you will be missing key information.

Lousy book.......2006-11-11

This book is very poorly written. This book doesn't define terms, doesn't bother to explain things, and just goes into incredible detail on things that leave the reader lost. I've heard it said that it's for a graduate audience. That's no excuse.

really detailed book.......2006-02-03

I was assigned this book in college. It is definitely intense. However, it's intense in a positive way. I have always found microbiology to be one of the most interesting subjects of science. I have always been fascinated by parasites and bacteria. If you're assigned this book in micro class in college--definitely read this book. I also found Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi to be an excellent study guide for test prep.

Too much info.......2002-07-28

Extremely detailed, this book covers much more than MICROBIOLOGY. You can find a complete course of GENETICS within it as an example!
This is a usefull book for undergrad's but there is no chance of being able to finish all of it in an undergraduate course in MICRO.
It just covers everything and tries to squees all the info within its pages...
I hope you will have fun studying it though...

Nicely done........2002-06-19

This book is nicely done, all together. The flow of information is well organized, with great cross-references and detailed graphs and pictures to help understand important concepts. Also, several appendices, a glossary, and a CD-ROM serve as helpful resources. The material is presented in a tasteful manner, not reducing the book to a mere picture book. This book, written for undergraduate and graduate students, gives serious information and is very detailed. It's the whole package!

Great Book.......2007-03-20

The Reptiles and Amphibians of Louisiana is a great book with the recreational and professional herpetologist alike. I contend with the previous review that the artwork is exceptional (if you are looking for pictures, I recommend Peterson Field Guide) and the use of scientific names is appropriate for this type of literature. The book also provides important field keys for Louisiana herps, as well as county record maps. However, as stated in the previous review, some of the taxonomy is outdated. However, the taxonomy of many Reptile and Amphibian books are outdated, including the Peterson Field Guide.

W. Selman
Graduate Student, Herpetology

Louisiana needs an update.......2000-06-20

Good text and excellent range maps. Artwork is not very good. Taxonomy is out-dated, and common names are simply wrong. Authors continued to use the tongue-twisting academic (not common) names devised in the first half of the last century, instead of standardized common names in use nationwide since 1978. Publishers should have had the book reviewed by herpetologists of a younger generation. Only book available on Louisiana herps, so use it until a better one comes along.

Reneaux's musical rendering of this old folktale explains how the feud between Alligator and Dog got started in the first place. When Alligator finally corners Dog in his swamphole, he falls for the oldest trick in the book. Next time, he promises, he'll get that Dog for sure. But will he?

Power Animal Oracle Cards.......2007-05-13

I use these cards everyday and have done some readings for other people.. Still learning how to use them.. but I love them.

Great for teaching children and big people! about animal spirits !.......2007-04-18

The best part about these cards for me is that boys and men aren't turned 0ff by them ! My five year old in particular is intrigued by them and then made his own animal deck by cutting out animals out of a book and gluing them on index cards and making up his own meaning for each one based on what he thought the animal was doing in the picture.
They are a great introduction to people turned off by oracle cards ! Who doesn't love animals and who doesn't have a special animal they have felt close to?

As I shuffle,. I can explain to my readee about spirits of animals, and they get into it ! I have actually had very good readings with these cards also, and sometimes my readee finds their own meaning in the cards they chose (even better for them !)

Another use for these cards is if I feel I need a particular animal with me, I pull out the card and place it where I can see it or carry it in my purse. And sometimes one of my kids will ask me which animal spirit will help them on something, a problem or project, and we pull a card or more and they like to hear about the animal "helpers" on the other side.
They almost always "fit". Like when my son was sick, he pulled the snake card, the healer.

My one com plaint is that I wish there were MORE than just 44 cards, and my personal totem or power animal wasn't in there, the Ostrich.

Every animal is important and has things to offer you. DOn't dismiss an animal just because it wasn't what you expected or wanted. If you leave your mind open you will realize that that animal was perfect for you, whether it be your personal power animal or just an animal spirit here to teach a lesson.

THis card deck was bought for fun to add to my oracle decks, but it led me to study more about animal spirits and I now have several books on them and journeying with animals.

Have Fun !

Nice, simple, and fun.......2006-12-27

The simplicity of this card-deck is very nice. I have enjoyed working with the deck and reading the brief explanations in the included guidebook.

Power Animal Oracle Cards.......2006-07-02

If you are looking for some insight to the unknown that we are always so afraid to confront, these cards will bring an abundance of positive energy to you. No matter what issues, or maybe no issues, you may be experiencing, each animal passes along an "aha" moment and sheds light upon your essence. They are simple and they provide an energy that can heal, create, and explore.

Power Animal Oracle Cards.......2006-04-11

This is an exceptionally well-done card deck. The cards are attractive and the messages are helpful, thought provoking and consistently right on track. I used them with a group of 10 friends and each of us selected the "perfect" card that gave us the exact message we neeeded in that moment. We were all struck by the power of the messages and how the message not only made sense and provided guidance but actually spoke to our souls as well. We were deeply touched by the experience and are committed to using the cards on a daily basis.

Old Reliable.......2007-01-15

Lloyd Reynolds was a successful professor of calligraphy at Reed College where he was admired by professional calligraphers as well as his students. The book reflects his classroom practice and experience. The success of his students is testimony to his worldwide reputation.
As a teacher of art, including calligraphy, "Italic Calligraphy and Handwriting: Exercises and Text," has been my choice since 1970. The principle reason is its succinct text and focus on only Italic style.
Presentation is classic: left page directions, opposing page examples. Point by point, the logic of simple to complex takes the reader through workspace, comfort, tools, materials, and patiently leads to writing. Letters appear according to related construction, not alphabetically. For example, the letter O is made with two inked strokes and the letters a,e,d,g,q,b,p use the first or second stroke of O. Lower case letters are covered before upper case letters are addressed. Helpful excercises and reminders lead through the letters individually to the related subject of personal handwriting.
Low cost and convenient size are added benefits to the beginner
In short, the text works. Students learn and like it. They can and do succeed. That, to me, is its highest value.
David E. Marsters, Poulsbo, Washington. (Husband of Tommie L. Marsters)

The writing-book that's bigger inside than outside........1997-01-06

This book distills the life-work and teaching of one of the most influential calligraphers and better-handwriting crusaders of of our century into a manual small enough to enter a jacket pocket without bulging. Brief text -- with a wealth of hand-calligraphed illustrations -- takes the budding pen-person from the basics of the ABC on to easy (yet elegant) handwriting, fun projects, and even the essentials of professional book-design. The work surpasses many others in the care taken with its letter-forms; also in the instructions for practice, which are clear and "do-able" without being over-simplified. Buyers of this book might like to know that information on a companion video-tape series (taken from a TV course, based on the book, which aired during the author's lifetime) is available from Oregon Public Broadcasting (www.opb.org) -- I hope that AMAZON will soon carry this as well! The only ways in which this book falls short of perfection: /1/ some of the additional resources the text and bibliography mention are no longer available from the sources he gives, and /2/ there is perhaps not enough attention given to solving a few of the calligraphy-pen "snags" that cause problems for many beginners.
