Book Description

Quantitative Fish Stocks Assessment is the first textbook to capture the spirit of the "new fisheries management", in that it is driven by a recognition of the dynamic nature of fish populations and the application of computers and systems analysis to fisheries problems. It contains detailed numerical methods for parameter estimation, confidence bounds, and the formulation of harvesting strategies. The book builds upon the three themes in the subtitle. Choice refers to alternative management actions and alternative models. Dynamics reviews basic concepts of ecology and the interactions between fish and fishermen, as the latter respond to biological variability and to economic opportunity and regulation. Uncertainty describes the all-pervasive feature of fish stocks assessment. This text, written by two highly respected authorities in the field, should also become a standard reference in the area for professionals. It is clearly written at the level accessible to senior undergraduates and is easily understandable without advanced calculus and linear algebra.

The book to have if you work with fish.......2000-04-19

If you ask anyone who deals with fisheries management, they recommend this book. It's thorough, readable even by those of us who don't have have advanced math degrees, and focuses on the practical consequences of guessing how many fish there really are in the sea. If you want to know what's behind the curtain when managers declare how many fish you can catch, this is the book to read.

Book Description

This book serves as an advanced text on fisheries and fishery population dynamics and as a reference for fisheries scientists. It provides a thorough treatment of contemporary topics in quantitative fisheries science and emphasizes the link between biology and theory by explaining the assumptions inherent in the quantitative methods. The analytical methods are accessible to a wide range of biologists, and the book includes numerous examples. The book is unique in covering such advanced topics as optimal harvesting, migratory stocks, age-structured models, and size models.

This is THE reference for quantitative fish biologists!.......1999-09-30

This is a well organized book that includes relevant real-world examples and all the latest in contemporary population dynamics. Aside from an appalling cover design, this book is a winner!

The good book..........1999-08-11

This is the book -I- keep on the nightstand. Covers a broad base of contemporary population dynamics with relevant examples. Disregarding the insipid cover design, its an essential addition to any biologist's library

An everyday reference for fishery managers and modelers........1999-07-08

This one is a keeper! A comprehensive masterpiece of the world of dynamic fish populaton modeling. Excellent examples using a multitude of fish species makes this book a must for anyone involved in fishery research or management into the new millenium. I give the books content 5 stars although I, also, would like to see the release of a new book jacket.

A thorough review of fish population dynamic modeling.......1999-04-30

An excellent resource for anyone involved in the world of fisheries stock assessment or population dynamics. I only give it 4 stars because of the poor cover design.

Description:
In the development of ecosystem-based fisheries management, the assessment of ecosystem status is a key element. There are many indicators that can be used to assess the status of an ecosystem that are representative of key ecosystem processes and properties. Yet, of the several hundred indicators available to evaluate marine ecosystems, which are the best to use? We evaluated multiple biotic indicators from the Northeast U.S. large marine ecosystem (LME) to determine their potential utility in assessing ecosystem status, with a particular emphasis on the fish community and fishing pressure. For those 26 indicators which met our selection criteria, we executed a multivariate ordination to evaluate how indicators group together rank in terms of explanatory power, and are weighted relative to one another. The ordination procedure also revealed indicator redundancies. We recommend a set of eight candidate indicators for routine monitoring that are both representative of major processes and sensitive to fishing-related ecosystem changes. Finally, we briefly explore the role these indicators might have in ecosystem-based fishery management.

Ecellent book.......2007-07-09

I used this book as a reference for a om line Marine Electrical course I am taking and it was excellent.

Disregards Best Practices Regarding Lightning Protection.......2007-07-03

The author's suggestion that the lightning grounding system and the electrical grounding system be separated from each-other is very surprising considering that this practice is in direct contradiction with the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) and research regarding lightning protection in boats. To the authors credit, the fact that his recommendation contradicts the ABYC recommendations is clearly noted in the book.

One good place to start for the theory and practice of lightning protection for boats is the work done by Ewen M. Thomson, much of which is available on the internet.

Looking for help with Raymarine Seatalk.......2007-01-09

This was the only book I found that mentions Raymarine Seatalk, was looking for troubleshooting tips and ideas on how it should be best installed. I will have to wait for the Sailboat Electrical and Electronics Manual due out in 2007 to hopefully find a reference to Seatalk electronics. This book does not really cover Seatalk as I had hoped.

Practical! Practical! Practical!.......2002-11-04

I just spent my weekend propped up in the wheelhouse reading this book. It's a big read too. I have always had lots of problems on my motorboat and already this has solved two problems since starting it. At this rate I should have my boat fixed by spring. Its not too technical that a doctor cannot understand it(I fix people not boats), but it does cover all the practical information well. Kudos to Payne for writing a practical manual style book, layed out well and easily accessible information. The context is great too, I know how to relate my electrics to my engine, (and there is great engine information in this book) as well as water and every other system. He is welcome on my boat anytime and I cannot recommend this book too highly to any motor and power boat owner.

It's about time such a book was published.......2002-10-30

John Payne has really got this right. His last book was great but this is just superb. Unlike the many self proclaimed and unqualified electrical guru's such as Calder and others around Payne is a genuine qualified professional marine electrical engineer, who knows power and motor boats and this book proves that. I have tried to find something on my boat that is not covered by this book and so far it's all there. It's written in true reference manual style and the information is easy to access, even my wife understands it, which is scary! It is also up to date, all the new technologies are covered, radio frequencies are up to date and it is above all very, very practical. Payne has thankfully refrained from delving into theory and stuck to the essentials we all need. A book, or should I call encylopedia, for motor and powerboat folk was long overdue, now we have something that is not based on sailboats. My recommendation is don't leave port without this book, it's definitely going to save you money and problems.

Good for New Nurse.......2005-04-02

I agree this probably wouldn't be the best text for an experienced nurse, however, it includes a lot of the basics which is great for a new nurse like me who is still learning proper documentation.

Just the Basics.......2005-01-10

If what you need is a detailed book with extensive writing on theory and practice with few practical examples, you may want to invest in a different text. However, if you what you need is book with examples of documentation on several areas, this is your text. Personnally, I just need to flip to the subject and follow the example. I am pleased with this simple, straight to the point text.

Not for the experienced nurse.......2003-10-29

This is a very good book for an academic setting or for a new RN. It was not however helpful to me, a nurse with more than two decades of experience. This book contains rudimentary information, with examples of excellent charting but as a quick reference for unusual circumstances I felt in was cumbersome at best.

Book Description

A book of interviews with the foremost social commentators of our times. The fourth volume in TCJ Library's ongoing series of lavish coffee-table-book collections of interviews drawn from the Utne Award-winning magazine's archives, this volume gathers together the epic, exhaustive interviews with four of the sharpest social commentators of our times: Ralph Steadman, Jules Feiffer, Edward Sorel, and David Levine.

Steadman is the caustic illustrator of classic works like George Orwell's Animal Farm and Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72. Feiffer is the Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of the comics classics Munro, Tantrum and Sick, Sick, Sick and author of the seminal history of comics, The Great Comic Book Heroes, as well as screenplays for Carnal Knowledge, Little Murders and Popeye. Sorel is the co-founder of the world-famous Pushpin Studio and illustrator whose work has appeared regularly in publications like The Village Voice and The Atlantic and books like Moon Missing and Making the World Safe for Hypocrisy. Levine is of course the keen-eyed caricaturist whose work has lent dignity and consistency to the pages of The New York Review of Books every issue for nearly 40 years.

Each definitive conversation will boast the generous amounts of illustration that TCJ Library readers have come to expect from each volume, as well as a full-color gallery of rarely seen work.
