Vascular Epiphytes: General Biology and Related Biota (Cambridge Tropical Biology Series)

Book Description

This synthesis of the growing body of information from research on epiphytes and their relations with other tropical biota provides a comprehensive overview of basic functions, life history, evolution, and the place of epiphytes in complex tropical communities. Epiphytes comprise more than one-third of the tropical vascular flora in some tropical forests. Growing within tropical forest canopies, epiphytes are subject to severe environmental constraints, and their diverse adaptations make them a rich resource for studies of water balance, nutrition, reproduction and evolution.

Insight Guide Kenya.......2001-05-02

The book has everything you need to know. This book had every hotel, lodge or tented camp we stayed at and the information was accurate. It also list places to eat, shop, and sites to see in each area. The book gives you a history of the country, profiles on the different tribes, details about each park and reserve, maps and travel tips that were very good. Really liked the information on the wildlife since this was the main reason for our trip. My 10 old daughter also enjoyed reading this book.

Customer Reviews:

Great handbook but misleading title.......2000-12-07

This is a good little handbook, especially for the novice cat owner. I found it very informative on all sorts of stuff, from daily cat care to behaviour problems. However I do find the title a bit misleading. I originaly bought the book because the title made me think it was a book on cat-training. Some training is mentioned but the book is not really about conditioning and learning psychology. If that's what you're looking for find something else.

Superb book for novice cat owner.......2000-04-17

When a friend of mine offered me an orphan cat I told him I knew nothing about cats. In fact, the first question I asked was how to train her to use a litter box. That gives you an idea of how low my cat database was. I went to the petstore the night before picking up my new kitty and scanned several cat books. This book seemed very user friendly and full of really practical tips. I bought it and read it cover to cover over the next couple of weeks as my cat and I learned about each other. It answered virtually all of my questions. If you are looking for a first primer on how to take care of and understands cats, this is the book for you.

Great book!.......1999-02-19

I found this book to be an excellent general reference for cat training. Lots of helpful and practicle tips. Lots of insight into a cat's world.

Very useful information.......1998-07-09

This is a great book for those people who have a cat that needs a bit of training. The book is very easy to read in a few settings. There are some good tips to train your cat. There are some very valuable don'ts in the book too. This book was written by a professional vet and cat owner so the author knows what she is talking about. I found some very helpful tips in this book. I woulld recomend this book highly.

Having cat for a first time? This book can help........1997-07-30

I just adopted a cat. What next? How much should I feed him? How can I teach him tricks? Arghh! He is scratching my sofa. I need help! So I went and buy this book "101 Treaining Tips for Your Cat". The book helps me a lot. I don't actually count it, but I think the book consists of 101 tips and way to train a cat.
The book is in A-Z format, so it's easier to look up for a certain tips or problem. Some b&w pictures are also included.
Overall, if you aren't experience with cat, this book is worth a try

Book Description

For more than forty years, Tadashi Suzuki has been a unique and vital force in both Japanese and Western theater, creating and directing many internationally acclaimed productions including his famous production of The Trojan Women, which subsequently toured around the world. An integral part of his work has been the development and teaching of his rigorous and controversial training system, the Suzuki method, whose principles have been highly influential in contemporary theater. Paul Allain, an experienced practitioner of the Suzuki method, re-evaluates Suzuki's work, giving a lucid overview of his development toward an international theater aesthetic. He examines Suzuki's collaborators, the importance of architecture and environment in his theater, and his impact on performance all over the world. The Art of Stillness is a lively, often provocative study of one of the most important and uncompromising figures in contemporary world theater.
