Azospirillum/plant Assosciations

Book Description

Azospirillum-Plant Associations presents the most significant information from the vast body of scientific work that has accumulated as a result of nearly two decades of intensive research. It emphasizes advances that have occurred over the last six years, covering such topics as plant growth promotion, recognition and elicitation of plant responses by bacteria and the inoculant industry, the metabolism of production of plant growth promoting substances (phytohormones), and aerotaxis and poly-ß-hydroxybutyrate metabolism. This interdisciplinary volume is an excellent reference for agricultural microbiologists and biotechnologists, plant physiologists, geneticists, microbiologists, and agronomists.

EXCELLENT GUIDE!.......2006-08-19

Languedoc is a region of France for which would-be travellers have a difficult time finding current and useful information. This guide not only gives you great ideas for where to go and what to do, but lots of helpful hints and accommodation ideas as well. Clearly written; not one word too much or too little. Highly recommended. NOTE: Does not include restaurants.

Book Description

In 1949, architect, sculptor, painter, graphic artist, and proponent of Concrete Art, Max Bill curated an exhibition whose aim was to instigate a fundamental discussion of the forms and content of product design. The exhibition's impact extended around the world, influencing the Swiss Werkbund's "Good Design" campaign and the founding of the Ulm School of Arts and Crafts. All 100 display panels from the original exhibition have survived intact and are reproduced here.

Book Description

Valerius Geist, one of North America's premier wildlife research biologists, shares his common-sense insights into the Great Plains' pronghorn antelope. The pronghorn is the last surviving larger mammal of an era when the American plains was teeming with more species of wildlife than the African plains.

Geist, professor emeritus at the University of Calgary, is a specialist in animal behavior. Antelope Country explains how the fleet pronghorn was nearly wiped off the plains along with its bigger brother, the American bison, in the late 1800s. Geist also explores the pronghorn's return to abundance through North America's voluntary and legislative conservation efforts.

Accompanying Geist's fascinating text is the breathtaking work of renowned wildlife photographer Michael Francis, which illustrates the pronghorn's beauty and complexity.

- Fascinating historical and scientific insights into pronghorns and their prairie habitat
- The culmination of 30-plus years of pronghorn research
- 150 vivid full-color photographs of pronghorn antelope
- In-depth interpretation of pronghorn behavior and its evolutionary success

Interesting despite odd writing style.......2002-07-22

This book has excellent photography, and a decent text. The writing does suffer somewhat from a flowery style in some (not most) parts. The book is not very long, there is a lot of white space on each page, and the excellent photography takes up a lot of space. Still worth reading. At the end is a good annotated bibliography. Geist is extremely respected in this field, and he does a good job of sharing his expertise.

Good Start.......2002-12-14

This is a good reading for someone with no Futures & Options knowledge. I find it quite useful how the author clearly defines various swaps namely-- Currency, Interest Rates and Energy. However, this book would not cover newer Derivs stuff i.e. Credit Derivatives (though it provides a simple snapshot of CDS and TRS). I commend the author for not taking the GEEK approach.

Basic and thorough understanding on Derivatives.......2001-07-06

You may seldom locate a book telling you one of the most practical aspect in recent regime of financial accountng - booking the derivatives. Nevertheless, it spent a few paragraphs together with some examples showing you the booking of three major types of derivatives in the financial market. Other topics also illustrate comprehensively the functioning of the derivatives as well as accompanied with various examples. Had it not been for the limited pages in explaining the booking methodology, it would have been the best derivatives related book that I have met before.

Review of "Old Mobile" by a non-historian.......2000-08-16

This comprehensive work is certainly not light reading, but it offers a degree of detail about the history of Mobile that is unavailable in other histories of the area. The author is careful to cite original documents, where available, to verify the information. The reader is reassured of the authoratative nature of the work. It is particularly helpful in substantiating information in less extensive narratives.

Book Description

Among those Swiss photographers who came to the fore in the 1990s, Jean-Pascal Imsand was always something of a loner--both professionally and in his life. Born in Lausanne, he lived and worked mainly in Zurich and on the Lake of Geneva. Imsand's journeys abroad were few; the world in which he moved with ease was one of local neighbourhoods. He travelled to Istanbul, Venice, Paris, and New York for purposes of private research and commissions for portraits.

Jean-Pascal Imsand`s work eludes any attempt at classification, and contains an apparent paradox. While his photo-montages are much admired for their aesthetic and narrative qualities, they are often political in nature; the precision of content demonstrated in his socio-documentary reportages does not exclude mythical interpretation. These self-assigned works mark the end of the artist`s creative period, which lasted a mere decade. Having ended his own young life, Jean-Pascal Imsand`s oeuvre remains a fragment, but the fragment was one of his working principles. The principal sponsor of this catalogue is the Banco del Gittardo.

Inspiring, realistic and spiritual book.......2005-08-27

Father Greg Boyle has done miracles that not everyone can do in working with youth at-risk, especially Latino gang members of East Los Angeles (the "mother-island" of gangs). It ONLY takes a special and unique person to attract and aquire respect from the so-called "lost human-beings" that are involved in gangs. Not all adults see these latino youth as "human beings" whatsoever. Father Greg deserves MORE recognition for what he has done in the Pico/Aliso neighborhoods. Highly recommend this book. May GOD bless "G."

A Masterpiece.......2004-04-30

Fremon's account of Father Greg's early 1990's work in Boyle Heights, CA. is as moving and powerful a work as one is likely to read. The fact that this book is out of print (currently) is a crime!

a great book!.......2001-11-01

I teach criminal justice courses at Dodge City Community College. One of the topics most students are interested in is hispanic gangs. I found this book to be excellent, and a number of students have also said positive things about the book. It gives the reader a realistic view of gang life in LA, and Father Greg's work is very encouraging. I tell my students that 1 person can make a difference in life, but most don't believe me. The book not only depited gang members and their lives, it also demonstrated some programs that were effective. I highly recommend the book!

Father Greg--A Real-Life Angel.......1999-06-05

I had the pleasure of hearing Father Greg Boyle speak in my religion class at Santa Clara University earlier this year. I enjoyed his talk so much, I went to a subsequent one and it was there I was first introduced to his book. A wonderful book to compliment a wonderful person. Father Greg is truly an angel in human form.

A good book for quick facts........1999-10-30

My father is in the habit of giving me books every time I visit, and this book by Nicolas Kanellos was one of them. It has proven handy when I need a quick fact to make a point or for confirmation. The book's excerpted entries are each listed with the reference source immediately following (author, title, page).

The book lists Hispanic firsts in the U.S. in 14 subject areas (Arts & Design, Business & Commerce, Education, and so on in alphabetical order). Especially important entries are in shadow boxes. BW photos and illus. draw your attention to other entries. A 4'7"-long events timeline folds out from inside the front cover. It can be carefully removed, laminated, and tacked onto a wall. A calendar of firsts flags birthdays of notables and anniversaries of significant events. In addition to the usual subject index, you'll find an index of firsts by year (1493-1997).

The theater section was of special interest to me. Several years ago I met Kanellos at a grassroots theater conference at Cornell. While there, I and a few others were drafted by him to present vaudeville sketches from early Hispanic theater. You can find an entry in HISPANIC FIRSTS (pp. 321-22) that points out the first history of Hispanic theater in the U.S. was written by Kanellos himself. He's done a lot of other awe-inspiring things, but you can consult the book for those.

While Kanellos excerpted material from many sources, five books stood out:

1) Kanellos's CHRONOLOGY OF HISPANIC AMERICAN HISTORY: FROM PRE-COLUMBIAN TIMES TO THE PRESENT;

2) Kanellos's THE HISPANIC AMERICAN ALMANAC;

3) Joseph Tardiff & L. Mpho Mabunda's DICTIONARY OF HISPANIC BIOGRAPHY;

4) Diane Telgen & Jim Kamp's LATINAS! WOMEN OF ACHIEVEMENT; and

5) Matt Meier & Feliciano Rivera's DICTIONARY OF MEXICAN AMERICAN HISTORY.

Did you know that Spanish Florida offered sanctuary to runaway slaves as early as 1693? That the first farmworkers union was created by Mexican and Japanese laborers in 1903? That a successful 1945 lawsuit against the segregation of Mexican children in Orange County, Calif., paved the way for the landmark "Brown v. Board of Education"? Just a few facts from this book.
