Jashemski has worked for many years in Pompeii's gardens - and produced many publications. This volume not only brings together a summary of all of her work, it is complemented by robust ancilliary studies from experts in paleosols, pollen and fauna. Beautiful pictures, well-referenced - an academic book that also is of interest to other readers. THE must have of all Pompeii publications in recent times.

This book was really good. I had been reading about all these new herbs and stuff but didn't know much and didn't have access to good information on them. So Hatfield's book really filled a need for me. He writes in an easy-going style about complicated stuff, so it's easy to follow. Very cool book. Very upbeat. I've been buying these vitamins now and using them and feel much better after working out. Thank you.

This book is designed for seasoned NEPA practioners as well as for beginners and students who seek mastery of the NEPA process. NEPA can best be mastered by organizing all of its requirements and guidance in a systematic way around key topics, and illustrating with examples. Essential guidance for each topic is scattered in different parts of the Act, Regulations and related sources. NEPA Effectivness collects all this under one of ten major headings: PURPOSES, DOCUMENTS, ANALYSIS, COVERAGE, EFFECTIVENESS, INVOLVEMENT,APPLICATION, DECISIONS, AGENCIES, and PROCEDURES. Having practiced NEPA for over twenty years, my experience has enabled me to produce a book that is truly useful to the practitioner.

This series combines some of the most exhaustive treatment of each book available with up-to-date scholarship and a generally evangelical point of view. Each volume is close to 1,000 pages, and the treatment is thorough. Most if not all commentaries were written or revised in the 90's or 2000's, and a knowledge of issues such as narrative theology, literary genre and rhetorical criticism are reflected in the text (unlike many other evangelical commentary series). If you are looking to invest in a more exhaustive series, this is the one to invest in .... ...

It is rare book that can be called unique. Frederick Turner's The New World is an epic poem about the future and the past, about democracy, fundamentalism, human nature, heroism, evil, honor and love. All this and great science fiction fantasy too! The language of the poem is wonderfully rich but easily readable, written in an iambic pentameter that ranges from conversational to grand. I can't recommend a book more highly. I am embarassed to say that I've read it five or six times.

New York mustered the second largest number of troops for the war, in total over 50,000 men! From records in the NY State Comptroller's Office these volumes provide an unique source of information for the historian or geneological researcher. There is a convenient index to the first volume.

A must have!

O.K. O.K. Marryat's books tend to be full of unlikely circumstances and coincidences and sappy, happy endings. On the other hand, his novels are naval action adventures of the Napoleanic age written by a man who was actually a captain in the nineteenth century British navy, albeit somewhat after the Napoleanic Wars. As long as you sit back and enjoy the story, the adventures and misadventures of Newton Forster are just plain fun. And, remember, this book was written more than a century before Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey had even been thought of.

Next Generation Manufacturing (NGM) is the name of both this book and the authors' organization so, obviously, Jordan and Michel believe in the concept. The material is based on the U.S.-based Next Generation Manufacturing Project (NGMP) and the International Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS) program. Together, these initiatives provide a consistent, worldwide vision for global manufacturing. This book examines that vision with rigor and eloquence. The NGMP identifies the key drivers that shape the future competitive environment and the attributes of a successful competitor in that environment. It then characterizes the capabilities ("imperatives") required to meet the drivers and to thrive. The "imperatives" are grouped into four operational strategies: 1. Building a strong workforce; 2. Developing and implementing advanced knowledge processes; 3. Using advanced manufacturing systems, processes, equipment, and technology; and 4. Integrating competitive strengths. NGM is explored here in three ways: through the eyes of the fictional CEO of a fictional large manufacturing company, as he prepares for a planning meeting with his management team; applying NGM as the CEO sorts through all the issues the management team must consider; and enabling readers to learn by doing - through exercises that simulate real-life business situations in which they are challenged to make decisions rooted in NGM principles. From these exercises, readers see firsthand positive results of applying NGM. Next Generation Manufacturing is must reading, not only for everyone involved in manufacturing from the supervisory level up, but for anyone else who works closely with manufacturing companies. Management consultants and other service providers, for instance, can be much more helpful when they understand what NGM is, how it works, and what it can accomplish with effective management and sufficient capital resources.

...This is one of several books of railroad station photos taken in 1910 by the official Erie railroad photographer. This was the era of hard work,long hours . dreams of escape from the "backwaters" to the exciting cities began at the railroad stations. All this is very American as this delightful book will remind you.
