Handbook Of Poultry Feed From Waste: Processing and Use

Book Description

The aim of this book is to help create new feedstuffs for poultry and farm animals from the agro-industry and to mobilize the neglected waste as a feedstuff to lower the price of animal products such as eggs, white and red meat, milk, etc. Furthermore, this book aims to contribute to the campaign against hunger in the developing world and to reduce the competition between animals and human beings for cereals and pulses. Accordingly the global pollution problem will be reduced. This book will be of great interest to all those involved in the animal feed and poultry industries, in agricultural universities, and in research establishments where animal nutrition is studied and taught.

this book is toilet paper.......2007-09-20

My god this book was awful. This was my first (and last) purchase of a Frommer's guide. I initially bought it based solely on the fact that it was the most recently published guide for Norway among all of the available guides at the time. Much of the information was embarrasingly wrong. If you are a member of AARP, you may enjoy the suggestions in this book. The worst part was the maps. Would it kill them to put all the information such as hotels, restaurants, shopping and entertainment on the SAME map instead of making me jump back and forth between several maps? The separation of graphic information made it frustratingly difficult to plan out daily itineraries. This book found better use as toilet paper. I ended up tossing the Frommer's guide on day 2 of my trip and I purchased a Lonely Planet and Rough Guide, something I should've done from the get go.

Great guide for Norway.......2007-08-14

I like this and and the Rough guide best for Norway. They both have good maps and good information on a lot of the places you would like to visit and good info on the best tours. You do have to be careful that either a tour hasn't been cancelled or the time has changed since the book was written. We found that in Bergen. I thought both the Rough Guide Norway and Frommer's had much more specific info on tours and things to do than the Fodor's and Lonely Planet books do. I generally like Rick Steve's guides but his Scandinavia guide is not complete enough unless you are doing his intinerary. His book does have a lot on Oslo and Bergen. But, for example, it has nothing on Alesund (pronounced Oh-le-sund) which is a great coastal town to visit. And in general it has limited info on the coastal towns, which are pretty cool. Just as an aside, I really liked the Geiranger fjord. Lysefjord was neat with all its cliffs (and goats)but the Geiranger fjord is just beautiful and there are many excursions from the little town of Geiranger with fabulous views from above. Norway is a great place to visit. Most people speak English (though not all). In my mind it is still not quite as spectacular as Alaska but it is really beautiful. The views from the windy, hillside, hairpin-turn roads are breathtaking. Also, I found the views from a car or bus through the country better than the famous railroad from Flam to Myrdal. The views from the train were great but it moves so fast and you go through so many tunnels that it was hard to really appreciate the spectacular views.

Great Advice for Travel in Norway.......2007-02-22

Frommer's certainly gives a great deal of very specific travel information. Lots of "Best Finds", &"Best Values". The guide provides great ideas on how to see specific cities, and attractions. I find that it works well in conjuncion with other travel guides that provide more visuals. In fact that is the only challenge with Frommers - limited pictures, and overall maps. But how many needs can one book meet? Frommers meets most of them.
I would highly recommend this guide.

A perfect guide to plan ahead and take along.......2006-06-21

This guide is great for reading ahead and taking along. This guide contains a fair amount of in depth information about the customs, practices, manners, etc. of the country and can be read while in the plane or a few days ahead. The guide also contains a lot of detail about what to do, where to go, and how much it costs to do if you are in certain cities for a day or a few days. I like the fact that they have current hotel and restaurant reviews as well as maps indicating where they are. This allows for being able to plan financially ahead as well. I have visited Norway several times and I have purchased updated Frommer's Guides every time because is well worth it. If you want pictures, this is not the book. If you want useful information in an easy to find format this is the book for you.

DON'T BUY THIS IF:.......2006-03-28

If you expect any pictures to give you a feel for the place, then don't buy this book. The picture on the cover is the only thing you'll get.
Where I'm coming from: I don't travel to shop, eat, meet the locals or absorb new culture: I go to see beautiful man-made and natural wonders. An hour spent at a sidewalk cafe absorbing the "atmosphere" is an hour that could be spent seeing more of a castle, cathedral, museum, mountain, lake etc.
Perhaps if you already know what you want to see, what's worth seeing in Norway, then the information in the book might be useful. But if you've never been to the place before, BUY THE EYEWITNESS SERIES books, they have pictures and 3D perspective drawings of specific neighborhoods give a nice feel for what one might want to see.

Book Description

Margaret (Molly) Brown is best known for her bravery and compassion during the tragic sinking of the Titanic, which catapulted her to international fame virtually overnight. But few people are aware that she was also an outspoken suffragist, a tireless champion of miners" rights, and one of the first women to run for the U.S. Congress. Raised in a working-class Mississippi River town, Margaretwho was never called Molly in her lifetimefollowed her brother to a rough-and-tumble Colorado boomtown at a time when few women dared to settle in the then untamed West. She married a silver miner who eventually struck it rich, and she used her new wealth and social prominence to further her own education and to fight for the rights of others, regardless of their race or religious beliefs. This vivid account of Margaret Brown's remarkable life from well-regarded author Elaine Landau shows how much a strong woman could accomplish, even at a time when few opportunities were available. Archival photographs and excerpts from early-twentieth-century newspapers and Brown family letters provide a clear picture of this forward-looking, energetic individual and the society that she strove to reform. Chronology, endnotes, bibliography, index.

Molly Brown Hero.......2007-01-07

I bought this book for my son. He was thrilled to get it. I wasn't sure how a little boy with a huge interest in planes and ships would like reading this book about this amazing woman. He loved it. He read Anne Frank not long after this book. Opened up the eyes of a little boy to other great people other than just male heroes.

Book Description

According to most of the critical commentary on Francis Bacon, the paintings by this crucially important artist are about violence, torment, fragmentation and loss. However, Ernst van Alphen argues that it is the violence done to the viewer that needs to be addressed if we are to understand how these works function.In this provocative and highly original interpretation of Bacon's art, the author offers close readings of significant works, discussing them in relationship to theories of schizophrenia, masculinity and contemporary literature, as well as issues of representation and visuality. By looking at the paintings in intricate detail and exploring their connections within cultural theory, van Alphen brings Bacon into the context of the contemporary critical debate."This examination of critical reactions to Bacon is very welcome"—The Art Newspaper

Book Description

Once known as the "Barking Bird Dog," the Finnish Spitz gives his devoted owners much to howl and yodel about! Handsome and sharp as a fox, loyal, lively and entertaining, this is a distinctive pure-bred that was originally bred as a hunter and today is well regarded as a family pet and show dog. The breed's bright red coat fairly glows, dramatically contrasting with his dark, soulful and intelligent eyes. For an active family and owner on their toes, the Finnish Spitz guarantees to challenge and delight.

This book provides the much-needed factual information about Finkies and their ancestry, characteristics and standard, as well as puppy selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and behavior of the breed. The new owner will welcome advice about puppy-proofing the home, preparing for the pup's arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems. In addition to an authoritative, comprehensive text, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive.

Great Book!.......2007-10-01

I am a novice gardner and I found this book to be very helpful. My first trip to the nursery was overhelming. After I purchased this book my second trip went well. I knew exactly what I wanted to buy and where to plant it when I got home. It has pictures on every page which is great!

Book Description

This book provides philosophical grounds for an emerging area of scholarship: the study of religion and dance. In the first part, LaMothe investigates why scholars in religious studies have tended to overlook dance, or rhythmic bodily movement, in favor of textual expressions of religious life. In close readings of Descartes, Kant, Schleiermacher, Hegel, and Kierkegaard, LaMothe traces this attitude to formative moments of the field in which philosophers relied upon the practice of writing to mediate between the study of “religion,” on the one hand, and “theology,” on the other.In the second part, LaMothe revives the work of theologian, phenomenologist, and historian of religion Gerardus van der Leeuw for help in interpreting how dancing can serve as a medium of religious experience and expression. In so doing, LaMothe opens new perspectives on the role of bodily being in religious life, and on the place of theology in the study of religion.

Customer Reviews:

Finally, the wait is over!.......2004-12-10

I cannot wait to read this book, I have been waiting for it since I first found out she was writing it. As an undergrad in religion at Harvard, LaMothe was by far the best lecturer I had. She takes the most complicated texts and unravels and explains them in a way that those of us who are not possessed of the philosopher's mind can understand. Hopefully this will be the first in a long line of books from her.

I think the author(s) didn't have such a good time there..........2006-06-23

...some not very nice comments are made about england, a lot of them over generalized for sure... some of it is true maybe, but certainly not all of it. they're a little unkind on the issues of the english people's lack of friendliness, especially in london, and it is a surprise this made it to press

Book Description

Seen from a certain perspective, or at a certain magnification, all that is solid melts into air -- or clouds of atoms, or drifts of luminous vapor. Bodies, whether of land, water, or flesh, are unstable aggregates; they are accidents, caught only by coincidence in forms we recognize. For several years, Heidi Fasnacht has been tracking the energy released when that familiar cohesion is ruptured, and the always-present world of particles in collision is made manifest. Thus her images, in two dimensions and three, of detonations, implosions, geysers, volcanoes, fireworks, ticker tape parades, sneezes … The drawings are meticulous but lively, heavily worked but crisp and fresh. They are based on photographs and executed in pencil, the strokes short and deliberate, though in some passages, the surface is smudged or scuffed. Patterns associated with various techniques in mechanical reproduction, including parallel hatchmarkers and raster dots, come into play. Sometimes in the black and white drawings - those of explosions at sea, for instance - the paper is treated as if it were an etching plate, or a stencil: it is stippled, scratched, pitted, even perforated. The colored pencil drawings of volcanoes, on the other hand, can be as silky as a finely worked tapestry, and as luxuriant.

Book Description

This is a mid-career retrospective of the renowned New York-based artist Heide Fasnacht. Featuring a remarkable collection of her work, the book tracks Heide Fasnacht's relentless drive and passion over the past decade of sustained production.

By turning her attention to instability in all its realms--political, atmospheric, geologic, molecular, social, psychological--Fasnacht has created, in the mediums of sculpture and drawing, a kind of poetics of catastrophe. A number of unsettling works made prior to September 11, 2001--of an airliner exploding in midair, of collapsing high rises, of an imploding wall in Lower Manhattan--already inhabit the post 9/11 universe in which the potential for massive death and destruction seems to be lurking around every corner.

The book includes essays by playwright and art collector Edward Albee and Raphael Rubenstein, senior editor of Art in America.

Book Description

From beloved broadcaster Charles Osgood, a poignant memoir about one unforgettable childhood year during World War II, now in paperback efending Baltimore Against Enemy Attack is a gloriously funny and nostalgic slice of American life and a moving look at World War II from the perspective of a child far away from the fighting, but very conscious of the reverberations. With a sharp eye for details, Osgood captures the texture of life in a bygone era.

Couldn't Stop Smiling.......2006-07-31

I loved this book and I'm sure I smiled all the way through it. Everyone loves nostalgia about the good ole days -- meaning, we ALL have our own good old days. But the times he writes about are especially delightful and innocent. The music was great and something everyone and anyone could sing along with. The movies were dreamy. The radio was great and innovative. And best of all were Mom's final words to the young on summer days: Be home before dark! Yes, we used to go out and play. We didn't have play dates; we just played with whoever was there on that day. Sometimes we played kick the can, or tag, or jump rope, or went on long bike rides, or went to town to the small store to look at magazines and comic books and drool over the candy in the glass counters. We may even have had a nickle in our pockets to buy something.

In any event, I grew up in basically the same circumstances as young Charles describes in this book. The book is short and sweet, something to smile about on each and every page. I wish it was longer -- Both the childhood of the 1940s and this book. Both were great.

It Made Me Smile.......2006-04-10

I envy Charles Osgood. He saw and experienced a Baltimore I never did. The stork didn't drop me off in B'more until 1955. I had such a good time in seeing things I remembered from a different perspective. If it's possible, I loved my city just a bit more after reading this. Thanks for the memories and insights.

Nostalgic, Yet Mean-Spirited.......2005-07-01

I was drawn to pick up this book when I saw the cover--the picture of the author as a young boy is irresistible. Although the content was interesting, I found myself quickly becoming annoyed by the author's numerous slurs towards our younger generation. I found his words to be increasingly mean-spirited and I finally put the book down for good when he made light of both children and their parents who are faced with the struggle of bipolar disorder. The author reminds me of many older Americans who can't see that the world has changed greatly since the 1940's and that our younger generation has many redeeming characteristics.

Great Read for an Osgood Peer.......2005-06-11

This delightful read, one year in the life of a 9-year old boy, may be the most enjoyable book I've read in years. And I read a lot of stuff. The year was 1942 and Charles Osgood describes it magnificently as lived by most of us the same age. I laughed with tears in my eyes on almost very page. This book should be enjoyed by the children and grandchildern of those of us that were children during that incredible year, 1942. Memory lane was never better documented. Enjoy.

Nostalgic, but thanks for the memories.......2004-11-24

Osgood's wit and rich tribute to his 1940s boyhood results in an enjoyable, worthwhile read, even better if you get the audio version, read by Charles himself. I did find his criticisms of today's children (and their excessively competitive parents) a bit grating. It made me think of a book that could have been written when he was a child, something like, "Radio?! Who needs that! Why when I was a boy we didn't need all those special effects and people shouting at you from a wooden box! We had books, like Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. And they were never spoiled by silly toothpaste or hair tonic commercials."

The problem with nostalgia is that it can create an abnoral yearning for an irrecoverable past, and is often excessively sentimental. Tempis fugit...
