Microbial Endophytes (BOOKS IN SOILS, PLANTS, AND THE ENVIRONMENT SERIES)

Book Description

Examining intercellular infections in certain plant species that lead to a symbiotic relationship between the host and its endophytic microbes, this volume demonstrates the ability of many types of endosymbionts, acting as a unit with hosts to better survive, compete and reproduce. Practical applications of such endophytes are also discussed, for example, pharmaceutical developments and agricultural management.

A bit of a let down.......2003-12-19

Earlier dive guides I have used have come from the Globetrotter series - who do not have a guide for Barbados, which is what I was looking for. Coming to the "Complete Diving Guide" after the high standards of Globetrotter is something of a disappointment. There is nothing wrong with the book in terms of the content it is providing - it gives information on the sites, some (though by no means all) dive schools, and a little background on the islands. However, the writing style is very narrative - think "what I did on my diving holiday this summer" type essays. The presentation is also a bit dated. It is not a bad guide by any means, but if Globetrotter do get around to publishing on the area, it is almost certain to be a better bet.

winston reed.......2002-03-07

July 2001 I dove several of the sites reviewed by ms Ryan and Mr Savage
and found their profiles of the dives to be very accurate and
helpful.I hope she and Brian Savage will do a "complete
DG of the Bahamas,I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Needs more vacation details.......2001-03-07

I found this guide pleasant to look through, but not half as helpful as Best Dives of the Caribbean by Hunter Publishing, which gives a lot more detail on the dive sites, places for kids to snorkel, hotels and everything I need to plan a vacation.

This is the book the Experts Use........2001-03-01

It is always interesting to see which books are used by the local Dive Guides at the sharp end and this is how I was first introduced to this particular book just over three years ago in Grenada. Since then I have put it to good use on a number of assignments in the Caribbean and I have yet to find it lacking in any way.

The opening introductory chapter is well written and includes plenty of general information on diving, facilities, climate, sea, regulations, boats, cruise liners, resorts, hotels, flora, fauna, shipwrecks, photography and safety. The book then commences with Dominica in the north and moves southwards to include Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Tobago and Barbados before concluding with a Glossary, Bibliography and Accident and Emergency Information.

The relatively few photographs are all of a good quality - but this is book that concentrates on providing all the relevant and peripheral information that any Scuba Diver will want to know before and during a trip to any of the Caribbean Islands covered. The maps and diagrams are particularly useful - and very easy to follow in situ.

On first sight, however, the book cover lacks impact and might easily be overlooked as the prospective purchaser gets side-tracked by something a little more flashy. Do not be tempted away from this one - it is a straight forward, no nonsense guide containing everything you will want to know.

Altogether, almost 400 pages packed with information - although that does include a small number of one-page advertisements.

In summary, any book claiming to be "A Complete Guide" has to include an awful lot of information. This one has achieved just that and will not disappoint the purchaser.

Completely the BEST Dive Guide!.......2000-07-27

We dive regularly in these areas covered by the Complete Dive Guide Vol 1, a place where information is scarce except for that offered by local operators. We found this guide, especially the Dive Maps and the information on the local Dive shops and their services to be the ABSOLUTE Best available. We recommend everyone who dives these areas grab a copy and keep it close. This guide has given us the ability to dive confidently and know we aren't going to miss anything the area has to offer.

Book Description

The Caribbean's "Nature Island," Dominica offers an enticing variety of underwater environments and topside activities. Look for evidence of the island's volcanic origins in the submerged crater and gas vents of Soufriere Bay. Explore pinnacles and walls that support an abundance of tropical fish. On land, hike to a seething volcanic lake or a refreshing waterfall set deep in the rainforest. Dominica attracts divers and travelers seeking a relaxed and unspoiled tropical setting. This book describes 41 of the island's best dive sites, with full-color photos throughout.

You'll get specific information including:
Dive site depth range and conditions
Common and hazardous marine life
Topside attractions and detailed descriptions of 10 hikes
Comprehensive list of dive services
7 easy-to-read maps

Customer Reviews:

Useful for planning.......2007-09-14

Not quite as thorough as the Lonely Planet Diving in Puerto Rico, but very helpful for deciding where to start. An added bonus is the short chapter describing inland hikes in Dominica, an island as stunning above water as below. I like the organization or these guides, with excellent icons placed conspicuously to help me skip what I don't need to know.

not all that useful.......2007-01-20

Dominica was a beautiful island but this guide was not all that helpful and some info. was outdated or incorrect.

Great photography and good guide.......2003-06-20

Good guide except that we couldn't find one of the snorkling sites described just by following their directions.

Rare Informative Guide.......2000-03-25

With so few informative guides available on Dominica, this guide is truly a gem written about a gem of an island. Descriptions of some of the finest and most unusual dives in the Caribbean, including down the crater of a volcano and through hot bubbling springs called "Champagne." The sea life in Dominica is more prolific and untouched than anywhere else in the Caribbean and this guide tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about getting to this offbeat destination, staying there, and seeing the sites both above and below water.

The Complete Equine Veterinarian Manual.......2007-01-06

I really liked the first 2 sections, Keeping your horse healthy and the Anatomical Index of Diseases. I wish the A-z sections describing different disease was a little more in-depth. Its a little more general than I wanted but still a very very knowledgable book.

A Horse Lovers Must.......2000-08-11

This book is very detailed with diseases, illnesses, cut, fractures, snake bites and more. I like to take care of my horse when I can and not take her to the vet except after she foals. I like to give the shots and do what I can. This book is very detailed and very helpful.

The Complete Equine Veterinary Manual.......2000-05-12

This is a great book. Its packed with information to help you with basic horse care and to identify and treat numerous injuries and ailments. It has lots of pictures color pictures and it organizes the information in an easy to read format. I would recommend it.

Fathers Are Forever is a must read for all divorced dads who want to remain involved parents. The saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure applies here. Reading Fathers Are Forever means kids keep their fathers. Every father needs to read this book.

The book walks parents through the divorce process from beginning to end. It moves Mom and Dad from adversaries to co-operative parents in spite of the fact that they live in two separate homes.

Most Helpful Guide.......2002-07-27

As a recently divorced dad struggling for a way to deal with the court system and my relationship with my 8 year old daughter, I found Fathers Are Forever to be invaluable. This book truly is a "how to" guide for fathers (as well as mothers) who want to retain a strong relationship with their children while rebuilding their lives. After reading the book, I attended several of the author's workshoips and came away very impressed with his sincerity and knowledge. As I am both a Ph.D and a law student, I was particularly impressed by the author's insight into basic human psychology as well as the legal system. I recommend Fathers Are Forever in the strongest terms!

Fathers Are Forever: A Co-Parenting Guide for the 21st Cent........2002-07-09

In Fathers Are Forever, author Steve Ashley is a relentless advocate for co-parenting and the importance of fathers in their childrens' lives. He speaks to divorced men in an easy to read, understandable style. Most chapters conclude with practical action steps guiding the father through the potential difficulties of co-parenting and the custody process. The book is very validating of fathers, and their experiences in divorce. It is also realistic in its assessment of the bias that fathers face in the custody process, while providing strategy for dealing with that bias.

While helpful at any stage of co-parenting, I believe Fathers Are Forever can be an especially important, supportive took for fathers who are early in the divorce process. Written primarily for fathers and speaking directly to them, this book can also be helpful for anyone involved in co-parenting, including mothers and associated caregivers. Fathers Are Forever is a welcome addition to the toolbox for raising children when divorce occurs.

In Revere Beach Elegy, Roland Merullo returns to his childhood heaven of Revere, Massachusetts, to begin an intricate, impressionistic portrait of his rich and complex life. The tough codes of Revere's working-class streets mix with the warmth and affirmation of family- forty cousins, grandparents, aunts, and uncles-to form a background against which Merullo's later wanderings are always set.

A "Must Read".......2002-12-15

This book is a "Must Read," one of the very best novels I have read in the last decade. Every page held phrases and paragraphs I wanted to read and re-read, so rich were the images in this coming-of-age novel. Perfect for a book club.

Revere Beach Elegy.......2002-05-15

This book is a collection of Merullo's essays about his boyhood in his Italian-American hometown, Revere-five miles from Boston, Massachusetts. Merullo was born into a typical Italian family where fathers are the head of the entire family. He grew up in a neighborhood with lots of cousins, uncles and aunts. The value of this book is not just Merrullo's boyhood tales, most important it depicts the struggle of immigrant families in this country, trying very hard to have a better life for themselves and their children.

As a first generation Italian-American, Merullo's father worked full-time and went to law school in the evenings for several years. He failed the BAR examination eight times but eventually received his law degree at the age of 54. Unfortunately he died in his early 60s. As a second generation Italian-American, Merullo was raised with parental expectations, but made his own way. He obtained primary education at Phillips Exeter Academy and then Boston University, then the Peace Corps and finally found his niche as a writer.

I like this book because this book reminds me the year I lived in Greater Boston area.
