Book Description

In this unique book, Sir Donald Harrison draws on his wide-ranging experience as a surgeon and comparative anatomist to produce an authoritative and detailed account of the anatomy and physiology of the mammalian larynx. His investigation of the larynx has involved the study of over 1200 specimens of mammalian larynges from around the world, as well as using data from his own clinical experiences. The comparative morphology of the larynx is discussed from a developmental and functional perspective, and the involvement of the larynx in respiration, locomotion and vocalization is highlighted. Throughout the book the relationship of structure to function is stressed, and the clinical relevance of features of the human larynx is emphasized.

Book Description

This two-volume handbook provides important information concerning the development, implementation, evaluation, uses, advantages, and limitations of a wide variety of animal model of pulmonary disease. While the work focuses on stepwise procedures for inducing and quantifying disease, additional emphasis is placed on each model's relationship to human counterparts and on comparisons with similar models of injury. Thus, even the novice researcher will be able to more sharply define a particular research question, find suitable animal models for study, gain access to specialized techniques, and evaluate results within the context of an up-to-date body of information about related forms of lung diseases.

Fighter's Fact Book: Over 400 Concepts, Principles, and Drills to Make You a Better Fighter

ASIN: 1581600771

Book Description

The mook jong, or wooden dummy, is one of the most versatile and effective martial arts training devices ever developed. Unfortunately, commercial dummies cost anywhere from $500 to more than $1,000 - well beyond the reach of the average martial artist. Now, thanks to this new book, anyone with some simple hand tools can make a wooden dummy for well under $100. Veteran martial artist Michael Janich takes you step by step through the process of building a traditional dummy that is proportionate to your height and reach, as well as constructing in-ground, wall-mounted and freestanding support platforms. He also shows you how to build his innovative Human Response dummy, a modern spring-loaded variant of the traditional dummy that provides almost human movement and allows the realistic practice of virtually any martial arts technique.

Customer Reviews:

Cheap Man's Dummy.......2007-01-10

Although innovative in many ways, this guide to making cheap muk jongs is not worth the price asked. If it were priced at $9.95, it might be worth a look, but at $16 plus shipping it lacks enough in content to make it not worth the more expensive price.
Having said that, it should be noted that this book explains how to make a cheap man's version of a wooden man---NOT a traditional Wing Chun dummy. Keep in mind, the title of the book is "The Mook Jong Construction Manual" not "How to Make Your Own Traditional Wing Chun Dummy." It is a guide to making an economical muk jong which mimics the Wing Chun wooden dummy, but lacks the beauty and finesse of the real thing. Contrary to what's stated, you will need some carpentry skills, tools, and an abundant amount of time before it's finished.
Finally, the details in the construction procedures and b/w pictures shown were good enough for a novice to contruct a dummy.

Terrible.......2007-01-08

The arms and legs and body of the dummies that this man is making aren't even close to the traditional sizes. If you are looking for an idea or drafting plan on how to make a real traditional dummy don't buy this book.

innovative and great reference tool.......2002-05-20

its a great book. the human response dummy is worth the price of the book itself. being handy with tools helps but you dont have to have handyman skills. i supplemeted this with free info on the net but the book is well worth the price. i added to the human response dummy design and made two legs instead of one and in addition to having a knife fighting dummy I have a takedown dummy i use for building my wrestling skills. if you like cover it with strips of old car tires an it will last you for life. additional ideas can be found by doing a search on the net for "pell" or medieval pells which were basically knife and sword training tools. buy the book and you will save money and be able to build a great dummy.

A good place to start.......2000-09-10

Definitely a good place to start if you're looking for help on building your own dummy. It has a good foundation, but unfortunately, that's about it. The layout is pretty bad- the step will reference a picture that's about 3 pages over. Pictures are adequate (in number) and good quailty, but are B&W. The book's price is also on the high side. The last section was unique in that it illustrates how to build a 'human response' dummy- a dummy that has moving arms and life-like response. A solid 2.5 stars- a good foundation with detailed steps, but not much else. If you're looking for a beginner's guide to building book, pick this one up for reference. Supplement this book with free mook jong plans found on the internet. Don't have time to build your own dummy- check out www.mookjong.20m.com JG

Disappointing.......2000-06-15

It would be an understatement to say that I was disappointed with this book. The whole style of this manual is like something that you would get handed at a seminar. This book supposedly shows how to build a Mook Jong dummy for cheaper than those available. However the details are very sparse. In addition I would question the usability of the dummy constructed...This is the first one that I have seen with the arms constructed of steel pipes. There are much better plans available for free on the web, my advise therefore is save your money.

My fourth grade daughter struggles to "look up" words in a dictionary. The small print and cluttered format frustrated her to tears. Then we stumbled upon this treasure. The clean typeface, blue colored entry words, and generous use of white space, made this dictionary easy to use. We gave a copy to the LD classroom teacher at her school. The teacher was thrilled - students find this dictionary much more "user friendly" than those provide by the school.

My fourth grade daughter struggled to "look up" words. Dictionaries she could use often didn't contain the words she needed. Others were so visually confusing she would give up in frustration. Then we stumbled upon this treasure. With a clean type face, contrasting color for entry words, and intellegent use of white space, she could finally find the word she needed by herself. We donated a copy to the LD classroom at her school. The teacher was thrilled - none of the dictionaries provided by the school were as "user friendly"!

Book Description

"Do our animal companions understand us? How can we understand them? Reflections of the Heart gives us Sharon Callahan's thought-provoking perspective on animal-human relationships. Definitely a most illuminating read for all animal lovers."
-David Frei, cohost of The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show

"Thanks to Deborah DeMoss Smith, readers of Reflections of the Heart will be touched and healed profoundly by animal intuitive Sharon Callahan's life and work, just as we have been-along with the hundreds of friends, family, veterinary clients, and patients to whom we've introduced her."
-Bob Goldstein, D.V.M., and Susan Goldstein, Earth Animal and the Healing Center for Animals

"A gold mine of inspiration, compassion, and love. Anyone who loves animals will love them even more after reading this wonderful collection of stories. Deborah DeMoss Smith knows just how to reconnect us with the magic, splendor, and awe of our animal kin through Sharon Callahan's intuitive experience."
-Marc Bekoff, Professor of Biology, University of Colorado, Boulder, and coauthor of The Ten Trusts (with Jane Goodall)

Jerry, a tabby cat distressed by a beloved family member's departure for college. Jupiter, a macaw parrot who yearned to live among his own kind. Rudy, a border collie whose grave illness did not stop him from keeping his profound promise to the young girl who loved him. All of these animals spoke with their human companions through the extraordinary gift of animal intuitive Sharon Callahan.

Now award-winning journalist Deborah DeMoss Smith relates these and many other true, inspirational tales of the human and animal lives Callahan has touched. Reflections of the Heart illustrates how the sometimes puzzling behavior of animals often mirrors our own actions and feelings. These stirring accounts offer a window into the emotional, mental, and spiritual lives of our animal companions-and remarkable insight into the special bond between animals and people.

Having a better understanding of the role of our animal companions, as this book has given me is wonderful. Ms Smith has given me a never before insight that has lifted me into a whole other realm of love for animals everywhere. I recommend this book to anyone who has animals. Feel the power of love with each story told. Imagine, a mirror to help guide us through our lives, in an unexpected source. Excellent!

This is a fascinating book to read. Many people are curious to know how closely some humans can communicate with animals and Sharon Callahan seems to have a very special gift. Luckily for the reader, Deborah Demoss Smith has a special gift as a writer because she really makes this story come alive. The stories of animals and their people are great reading and will help you understand your animal better.

This moving account of how our animal friends become so interrelated with our lives also has a strong message: the power of love to conquer obsticals in our daily lives.

This book is full of well explained information and detail on plant propagation and is a great reference for almost any person interested in this topic. The exception might be professional plant researchers.

Disappointing for advanced gardener, good for beginner.......2001-02-25

Plant chapters included in this book are: annuals and biennials; herbaceous perennials; ferns; bulbs, corms and tubers; alpines and rock garden plants; conifers and heathers; shrubs, trees, and climbers; houseplants, water plants, herbs, fruit, and vegetables. Each chapter consists of two parts, the first is an illustrated guide of propogation techniques; the second part is a "directory" or a mini encyclopedia of plants. This book is mostly plant directory rather than propogation techniques. For example, in the longest chapter, Shrubs, Trees and Climbers, there are 10 pages of propogation techniques and 14 pages of directory. The book's strong points are in this chapter also, it has a good section on tree grafting. However, my biggest complaint about this book is that it does not mention roses at all. Nor does it mention carnivorous plants or other exotics. On the plus side, the photographs and illustrations are excellent. If you are interested in growing a specific plant type, like begonias or cacti, you would be better off with a plant-specific book, this book is too general.

Clarke and Toogood's, 'The Complete Book of Plant Propagation is one among many in this field. Plant propagation is perhaps the most relevant issue for gardening/horticulture aficionados.

My wife and I just returned from a wonderful trip to Rome, Venice and Florence. We bought Whitehot Productions Self Guided Walking Tours from Amazon a few weeks before we left and we were so thankful we did. This 800 year old church is really remarkable and a must see when you are visiting Venice. The Audio Guides realy added to our enjoyment of this magnificent Cathedral. The mosaics are truly breathtaking. The narrator, in easily understood English, clearly explained the history and importance of everything we were viewing. Our traveling companions were constantly asking us to explain to them the things we were seeing together. Don't go to Venice without this guide. We wish that Whitehot Productions had finished their guides for Rome prior to our trip.

Ukrainian Soul saves the lives of two American pioneers from Ukraine. Through their own accounts, as well as those of others, we follow their lives from "the old country" to America. As David DuVal writes, "We can listen to the stories from that time and assume that Pesach and Motley could relate to them, nod their heads, and say, 'Yes, our experience was a little different, but that's the way it was.'"

Ukrainian Soul also includes, in autobiographical form, the life of one of their children as the lives of their entire family unfold in La Crosse, Wisconsin where they eventually moved.
