Book Description
This book covers the wide area of developmental physiology of the intestine: changes in the structure and function of the gut during perinatal period and weaning in mammals, role of nutrients (in particular colostrum and milk), neuroendocrine function of the intestine, intestinal motility, secretion and absorption and their neurohormonal regulation, novel knowledge on gut metabolism, and the structural and functional expression of circadian variability in the gut. It also contains unique information on the luminal action of gut regulatory peptides, and the role of the electric current generated by intestinal smooth muscle on gastrointestinal microbial growth.
Book Description
Covers all the options for backpackers and hikers, from whale-watching off the Valdés Peninsula in Argentina to hikes around the Chilean Lake District with its backdrop of waterfalls, thermal pools, volcanoes and glaciers.

Go do it!.......2006-12-15
The only way to review this book is to go and use it. Field test it. That's why I ordered, of course, so I was predisposed to favor it. Well, it has made my longing to trek in the southern Andes more urgent than ever. I'll review the utility of the book when I get back!
Book Description
An extremely thorough country guide to Chile with the emphasis on eco-travel and adventure sports.

BASIC FACTS ABOUT THE BOOK.......2007-08-04
I got this info from Bradt-travelguides website: typical of the entire line, it's 688 pages · 8 colour photos · 79 maps.
So be aware that this is no "Insight" guide, with plenty of photos to help you decide what to see.
I wish AMAZON would include info like this on all travel books. Require the publisher to provide an outline of book.
Recommended!.......2005-12-25
(Planeta.com Journal) -- The most comprehensive guide to Chile. Burford explores the length and (very narrow) breadth of Chile to capture the mind-boggling diversity of a country that encompasses the world's driest desert, towering snow-capped mountains and the lush coastal rainforest of Patagonia.

Guide Lite.......2001-08-14
Having spent over 18 months hiking throughout the Chilean park system I looked forward to reading Tim Burford's guide to backpacking and hiking in Chile and Argentina, I was disappointed. I can only comment on parts of the guide that deal with areas of Chile I am familiar with. The far north of Chile is dealt with in 5 1/2 pages and after getting through the usual list of animals to be seen the 5 parks, 7 reserves and 2 national monuments are briefly described as attractive and amazing but very little is said about actual hiking and trekking access or trails. I can assure you there are dozens of well known trails throughout the parks, reserves and national monuments mentioned in the far north section. The three featured hikes in Santiago area are dealt with in a more detailed manner but this area as well as the three featured hikes described in the Araucania section, the five or so in the Chilean Lakes section, the three in the Carettera Austral section and the hikes in the Patagonia section seem to be be more of the same served up in other well known guides - not much new. I would characterize Tim Burford's guide as Chile and Argentina Lite. The maps are sufficient for only the most casual observation. If one is considering some serious hiking and trekking in southern Chile then I would reccomend Clem Lindenmayer's trekking in the Patagonian Andes. The maps are more informative, the information is focused on dealing with trekking and hiking issues and the flora and fauna are presented as an integral part of the life in in the wide open spaces.

Good Guidebook For Teachers.......2001-05-10
According to the... review this book is good for all people who want to "bring a personal feel to the oral history" or something to that measure. That's not really true.
This book is great for teachers to use as a guide to conducting oral history projects with pre-teen and teenaged students. It's less helpful to adults who are working on lenthy book projects.

disappointing.......2003-01-31
This "book" is marketed as "hardcover". What it really is is low quality decorated envelopes (more like paper) bound in a decorated cardboard cover. The quality is poor. This is definitely something you could make on your own and it would be nicer!
Book Description
A pretty and practical way to organize and store all those loose snippets and articles from newspapers and magazines that accumulate in piles all over the house.

Book Description
A revolution in lighting took place in the last part of the nineteenth and the early part of the twentieth century. Nadja Maril explores the dramatic changes in lighting technology and form in this amply illustrated, informative volume. Using color photographs and rare catalog material, American Lighting concentrates on domestic lighting, making it an important work for home restorers and decorators seeking to capture an authentic look in their homes. The informative text and history of the American lighting industry makes it a welcome, valuable addition to the literature for historians, collectors, and others, interested in the development of American design and technology.

A Good Overview of the History of Lighting.......2002-04-15
Filled with beautiful photographs and catalogue pictures, this lovely hardback book is packed with useful information about antique lighting in the United States. Focusing on lighting for domestic household use, Ms. Maril skillfully explains how the evolution in technology of producing light, influenced the development of lighting styles.
Although the current price guide should be updated and the quality of some of the catalogue reproduction could be improved, this is the best reference book available on the sibject. I highly recommend purchasing this book for your library.
It has a valued place on my shelf!.......2001-06-01
I really like this book as a general reference. Great visuals and wonderful aesthetic. Great definition of "Fluid Lamps". Using color photographs and rare catalog material, this book concentrates on domestic lighting, making this an important book for home restorers and decorators seeking to capture an authentic look in their homes. The informative text and history of the American lighting industry makes it a welcome, valuable addition to the libraries of historians, collectors, and others interested in the development of American design and technology. Advanced researchers may express disappointed but for a general overview you'll want it for your library. It has a welcomed place on my shelf.
The only book of its kind.......2000-05-31
Few books are available which cover the subject of late 19th and early 20th century lighting. I found this book to be rich with information and very useful in identifying some of the pieces I have collected over the years. Other than, "Antique Lamp Buyer's Guide", also by Ms. Maril, there is little reference material for collectors so this is definitely a book worth owning.
A gorgeous book with lots of information about old lamps........1999-09-09
I've been collecting reverse painted lamps for ten years and I found Ms. Maril's book very helpful in providing information about the various manufacturers who made these lamps at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. Unlike a lot of picture books on antiques, Maril explains her subject and provides an overview of lighting technology and styles.
An average attempt in a rich subject.......1999-08-04
As an antique reproduction manufacturer, I find this book very limited and barely touching the rich depth of this area of American History. Ancestors populated the east coast since 1595 have first hand knowledge, written descriptions and actual lanterns and chandeliers throughout the periods. This book rarely indicates the history nor the flavor and texture of the various periods American Lighting has past though. The pictures are nice.
