Hunting Farm Country Whitetails

Book Description

In their formative years, whitetails develop an intimate relationship with their environment. Thereafter, these big game animals resonate in perfect harmony with their specific surroundings. Behavior patterns of timberland, mountain bred, prairie flats and farm country deer vary substantially. Whitetails behave differently depending on where they are hunted. Predominantly, habitat dictates habits and routines in daily activity. Deer patterns become relatively uniform and reasonably predictable in any particular region. Irrespective of where they live, all whitetails become creatures of habit.

Dragan Vujic has hunted whitetails extensively in the checkered agricultural belts scattered along both sides of the border between Canada and the United States. He shares forty years of hunting experience in this informative book. Initially, Dragan examines and explores the common characteristics of farm country deer. Subsequently, he enumerates and analyzes the drivers and motivators of whitetail behavior. Thereafter, having integrated all of the relevant information, the author suggests several effective strategies for harvesting farm country whitetails.

Book Description

Where ribbons of steel once crisscrossed the nation, now there are ribbons of green. The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy has helped convert thousands of miles of unused railroad beds to multiuse activity trails. Today rail-trails are found in every state. These flat or gentle-grade trails are perfect places to walk, jog, bicycle, in-line skate, horseback ride, or cross-country ski.

In this official Rails-to-Trails Conservancy directory, listings include succinct descriptons of endpoints, mileage, surface, location, wheelchair accessibility, and contact information, including Web sites. Icons for each trail show the appropriate activities. State overview maps show the location of each trail at a glance.

Excellent trip-planning resource!.......2007-05-12

This book contains summary information for each trail, to make it possible to plan a bicycling trip across America! And it also gives local contact numbers, web addresses, and other essentials. This is a must-have for bikers who love peace and nature.

I wouldn't call it comprehensive, but it is valuable resource.......2006-04-08

The book is chaptered by state and each state has a greyish picture of that particular state with little numbers placed on it to show you about where the trail will be. You then find that number in the chapter to find out more info.

The numbers are sometimes scattered like 4,25,42 for a similiar area. I do wish they had been a little better on their grouping of numbers. Instead of numbering alphabetically, each area should have its own set of numbers like instead of 4,25,42 have that area part of the 20s. Maybe even number starting from the north of the state and heading south. This way I don't have to flip back and forth in the chapter to find trails in the same area. While the alphabetical helps when looking for a specific trail by name, most times I'm looking at area not names. Maybe break each state up in sections, north, central, and south. That way you can have alphabetical, but also a better grouping of trails together.

each listing gives the name of the trail its end points, mileage, surface, usage (such as hiking, biking, horses, etc), location, and contact info.

The end points need to be more clear it will only list the city or cities the trail starts and ends at. Thus if a trail stays within one city it will only show that city as end point. Occasionally you'll get a street name, but more often then not you won't. There needs to be a bit more clarity, all listings need a street address for their start and end.

The rest of the info is sufficient enough. Telling me basically what I need to know. The contact info will give me names, address, and even a website if available.

The only thing I could readily think of to add to the info beyond the expansion of the end points was to add parking areas for the trails. Parking areas are not always at the end points. Its nice to know where parking areas are. While I could contact the number provided, many of the numbers would be a 9-5 number. As well as, if the listing would at least tell me how many parking areas along a trail. Though adding the address to at least a couple of the more popular parking areas or ones with water and restroom. It could say parking area: 5 and then give me at least addresses for 1 or 2 of them. As an example, a trail near where I live has three parking areas. One at its start point and two along the way, but not one at the end point. Out of these three, one has restrooms, the other has only a drinking fountain, and the third has nothing but a map. If you were to at least list 1 or 2 of these parking areas it would be helpful.

A comparison of sorts...
The book,Biking USA Rail-Trails, is put together a bit better then this as far as format, but it has slightly different listings and not all are true rail-trails. While, 1000 Great Rail-Trails, doesn't have the lines depicting the trail on the map, nor does it have any pictures, the layout isn't put in a pretty graph, and it doesn't have the extra facts info such as cross-country trails, trails that run along rails, and other various info, what it does have is a pretty complete list of all the rail-trails. Though there are some difference in listings between the books. Biking USA has listings that aren't necessarily a rail-trail, but are useful to have, such as Biking USA lists two trails near my area that are both over 20 miles long and run along the river, 1000 great rail-trails does not show these. Though they aren't true rail-trail paths it is nice to know of them. While 1000 great rail-trails list at least 5 trails that aren't in the Biking USA.

Thus in my opinion to get a more comprehensive biking trail directory you should have both this book and Biking USA rail-trails. They compliment each other well.

1000 Great Rail-Trails, 3rd: A Comprehensive Directory.......2005-09-13

Wow seems like a great deal to get all the Rail-To-Trail in the United States but its not! It does provide a list of all the trails but its very limited. It's basically a list of Trials (about 5 trials on each page). It provides almost no information about the trials expect for the mileage and the surface. It fails to give you the exact starting points, it only list the town names as the starting points. It would be nice to know the exact address for the starting points. It does not give you any idea as to the grade or time it will take for the ride or the level of difficulty or even a map of the trial. This book is not worth the money. Stick with the individual state rail-to-trail guides.

Book Description

The Writer's Harbrace Handbook, Third Edition, is grounded in the belief that an understanding of the rhetorical situation-the writer, reader, message, context, and exigence (the reason for writing)-provides the best starting place for effective writing and reading. This edition guides student writers in employing that rhetorical understanding as they choose the most effective information to include, the best arrangement of that information, and the most appropriate language to use. This writing-first handbook moves students through the steps that constitute successful writing, from finding appropriate topics and writing clear thesis statements to arranging ideas and developing initial drafts.

college textbook.......2007-09-27

The item was received quickly and this was important since it was for a class.

very good.......2007-02-19

If your trying to buy a book that teaches you how to write this is it. This hand book will teach you all about proper writing.

Too flashy.......2005-08-29

There is nothing that ruins a good reference book so much as over-attention to graphics. This book is very busy in both its design and implementation. Compared to other writing handbooks (particularly Diana Hacker's A Writer's Reference), this book is very hard to use. For example, the ToC for the MLA documentation section is not listed on the tab for MLA, but is buried several pages in. There are nearly 200 pages that start this book that are a mixed and confusing grab-bag of the greatest hits of rhetoric and writing, but do little to engage students in the act of crafting a written artifact. Also, after using this book for a semester, the tabs began to fray. As a teacher of first-year composition, I strongly recommend A Writer's Reference if you are looking for a user-friendly and comprehensive handbook for writing courses. This Harbrace book, which is the "Brief" version at 592 pages, is difficult to use as a teacher and as a student, and some information is nearly impossible to find (e.g. block quotation style guidelines).

Comprehensive and Convenient.......2000-11-19

Here is a terrific reference resource for anyone who frequently composes letters, e-mails, reports, etc. That is, for just about everyone. Even with various aids provided within software (eg to correct spelling), basic mistakes of grammar go undetected...and "send the wrong message" (both literally and symbolically) to recipients of what you write. Inside the front cover, the authors provide an especially handy detailed index (for questions concerning writing, grammar, effective sentences, diction, punctuation, and mechanics as well as glossaries of usage and terms) which directs their reader to the appropriate page or pages in the Handbook; on the back inside cover of the book, they then provide an equally handy list of checklists (also with page references) followed by a list of revision symbols. There are several such reference resources which will serve you well. In my opinion, this is the most comprehensive...and the easiest to use on a regular basis. I also urge you to check out Strunk & White's The Elements of Style and Stephen King's On Writing.

Let Bill and Betty Boomer, their parents Ed and Ethel Elderly, and the young married Steve and Sue Sprout take you through the thickets of this thorny issue.

A real tribute for the King of Dogs.......1998-06-04

As a fancier and owner of four Afghans I really enjoy reading this book. Well documented, it provides all you want to know about the breed. My only regret is that The Book is getting old and no newest editions are on sight.

Book Description

This guide helps collectors determine a print's date marks, artist seals, period placement, authenticity, condition, and value. A chapter on the techniques used to create woodblock prints - including intaglio, mezzotint, etching, engraving, lithograph, serigraph, aquatint, and offset - provides valuable, in-depth information for the art connoisseur.

WE STILL NEED A COMPREHENSIVE VALUE GUIDE.......2005-03-31

If only the content could have delivered on the promise of the Title. I think REDO would be in order.

Not too bad..........2001-04-10

...but indeed, where did she get those prices????? Still a good reference that provides loads of helpful information. A good addition to your Lane, if you are deeper into Ukiyo-e. And the price is absolutely reasonable for the amount of information provided. One of the few references that do not only give information about the classical artists, but also on sosaku hanga and shin hanga artists.

Overall disappointing, but worth owning.......2001-01-03

If you are looking for a general guide to prices for Japanese Woodblock prints this is not it. I was expecting a much more comprehensive listing, or at least a discussion about how these prints are appraised, but there are only a few price points mentioned. There is quite a bit of useful information, but this is not the good, introductory text that I was hoping for.

At one point the author says something to the effect of: "if you want to learn about Japanese Woodblock prints, go to a lot of galleries and read a lot of books on the subject." I think I kind of knew that before.

lacks depth.......2000-12-25

I was disappointed with this book. I guess I had expected a fairly comprehensive survey of auction, retail, and internet prices but this contained only brief selections from important artists, e.g. five by Hokusai, three by Harunobu, a dozen or so by Hiroshige. And I agree with another post here about pricing; some estimates are dead on, but many estimates for things I've shopped for or purchased are at least double current retail.

Nice guide, but where did she get those prices?.......2000-11-28

I found this book somewhat helpful and useful. But there is something terribly wrong with it, which makes me highly dubious of the writer's motivations. The prices are outrageously high. Every dealer I have talked to, while delighted at the inflation of values for obvious reasons, agrees that the prices are often twice or more the true market value of the prints. I have bought several of these prints in near mint condition in the past year for half the prices quoted here. I suppose I should be delighted that my purchases doubled in value overnight, but ..........

Book Description

This volume contains the papers of a workshop on Jewish epigraphy in antiquity organized at Utrecht University in 1992. Among the participants were collaborators of the Cambridge Jewish Inscriptions Project and of the Tubinger Atlas des Vorderen Orients project. Important aspects of ancient Jewish inscriptions are highlighted in the papers, like the connection between documentary and literary texts. Several papers focus on aspects of the history of Jewish communities in the diaspora. Specialists in Jewish epigraphy will find surveys of parts of the corpus of Jewish inscriptions (curse inscriptions, metrical epitaphs, alphabet-inscriptions) and discussions of some fixed opinions, and Jewish inscriptions are discussed in a wider literary and historical contexts as well.

Book Description

Elmer Gertz recalls his long battle in what legal scholars regard as the second most important libel case in legal history: Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc.

Gertz’s ordeal began in Chicago during the violent peace demonstrations of 1968. A youth, Ronald Nelson, was killed by a Chicago policeman, Richard Nuccio. Gertz represented the Nelson family in civil suits against Nuccio and the Chicago police department. After Nuccio was convicted of murder, the John Birch Society published an article in its journal, American Opinion, claiming that Nuccio was framed by Communists. Gertz was targeted as a prime Communist instigator. After reading and studying the article, Gertz filed suit against Robert Welch, Inc., charging that it had defamed him by publishing highly harmful lies impugning his reputation and patriotism.

Gertz writes in detail of his landmark case, which involved two trials, two reviews in the court of appeals, and two battles in the Supreme Court. Although the case was finally decided in April 1981, when a U.S. district court jury awarded him $100,000 compensatory damages and $300,000 punitive damages, Gertz did not receive payment until May 1983, after Robert Welch, Inc., had filed two unsuccessful appeals.
