Biological Control of Microbial Plant Pathogens

Book Description

The biological ways in which diseases of plants, caused by pathogenic microbes can be controlled without the use of chemical pesticides is the subject of this book. The basis of biocontrol (in microbiology, ecology, and plant pathology) is described and many examples of control measures in commercial use or development are given. There is increasing interest in biocontrol from the general public, environmentalists and the major world agrochemical companies, and this easily read text presents recent developments in the subject. The book provides the necessary references and literature citations to allow a more detailed investigation of particular diseases or control systems to be made. This is an important book that will be especially helpful to graduate and undergraduate students in botany, biology, microbiology, plant pathology, agriculture, horticulture, crop science and related courses.

Book Description

Sound formulation is a vital aspect of microbial products used to protect plants from pests and diseases and to improve plant performance. Formulation of Microbial Biopesticides is an in-depth treatment of this vitally important subject. Written by experts and carefully edited, this important title brings together a huge wealth of information for the first time within the covers of one book.
The book is broadly divided into five sections, covering principles of formulation, organisms with peroral and contact modes of action, organisms with the power of search, and future trends. Each section contains comprehensive chapters written by internationally acknowledged experts in the areas covered; the book also includes three very useful appendices, cataloguing formulation additives, spray application criteria and terminology.
This outstanding book is a vitally important reference work for anyone involved in the formulation of microbial biopesticides and should find a place on the shelves of agriculture and plant scientists, microbiologists and entomologists working in academic and commercial agrochemical situations, and in the libraries of all research establishments and companies where this exciting subject is researched, studied or taught.

Give it a pass.......2007-09-06

I can practically read anything on the Mafia . . . except this book. I could barely finish it. It was so boring. The first 50 pages were good. It was actually focused on late Louisiana Mafia boss Carlos Marcello. Then, it happened. Nonstop writing on the assassination of President Kennedy. Again, it is nonstop and the author continually asks the reader questions that I don't think he ever conclusively answered. (By the way, I have never seen some many questions presented to the reader before in ANY book; my guess would be a couple hundred questions the author poses to his readers.)

I swear about 500 pages is just going over the same points in the assassination again and again. Oswald knew this guy. This guy knew this guy. Jack Ruby knew this guy. All these connections go back to the Marcello organization. I GET IT! ENOUGH!

You read about a page and half on Marcello and you think, yes, he's finally back on track. He's actually writing about Marcello now. But no, all of the sudden it gets back to the Kennedy Assassination. I have rarely rolled by eyes while reading a book except for this one -- and I am continually rolling my eyes. Not because the author states that Marcello was probably involved in the Kennedy Assassination, but because he has to hammer his points over and over again and again (nonstop).

Now, if you are looking for a book on the Kennedy Assassination, you got it here. But if you are looking for a book about Carlos Marcello, then skip it because you are just going to get mad with the author barely touching on Marcello past the first 50 pages without his throwing in some Kennedy Assassination angle.

This should not be called "Mafia Kingfish: Carlos Marcello and the Assassination of President Kennedy." It should be called "The Assassination of President Kennedy: The Assassination and Some Mob Boss Named Carlos Marcello." Very little is about Carlos Marcello and his secretive organization. It's all about the Kennedy Assassination and Marcello's possible connection to it.

The last part of the book is on the FBI operations in the late 1970s that finally brought Carlos Marcello down. But it's only about 50 or so pages long, too. In short, there is maybe a hundred or so pages dealing with Carlos Marcello, and what you have left is the author trying to link the Marcello organization to the President's assassination, and nailing his one-tracked hammer on the same points time after time, page after page.

What a waste! Had this book been nearly 700 pages on Carlos Marcello and his organization it would have been perhaps one of the best, groundbreaking books on the underworld in the history of the American Mafia being there is very little actually known about the man and his organization other than the basics. Instead, we get a 100 pages on Marcello and 600 pages on his possible connection to the assassination of President Kennedy.

Sorry if I hammered my point over and over again about this book, but I was giving you a preview of what you will experience if you buy and read this book. As the mob would say, "Give it a pass."

Marcello vs. Kennedys........2007-03-16

This book is dated,but I'm not so sure that any other book on the subject is better.
Mr. Davis exposes the numerous links the Marcello family had to other key conspirators in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.Lee Harvey Oswald,Jack Ruby,and David Ferrie all knew each other and had Marcello family connections.

Another highlight of this book is the contrast of the New Orleans mafia and other families.They operated quite differently than say,the New York or Chicago mob.The culture of that area was much like Sicily.

Mr. Davis gives details on the extent of the corruption and political power enjoyed by Carlos Marcello.The transcripts of recorded conversations from the sting by the FBI reveal a lot regarding who was bought.Some major political figures are mentioned.

The details of Carlos Marcello's deportation clarify the animosity between the mafia and the Kennedy brothers.The egos on both sides of the law were factors in the eventual assassination.

The monumental part that J. Edgar Hoover played in the coverup and possible motivation for doing that are explained very well in this book.

In the end of the book Mr. Davis briefly covers some of the books that were contemporary with his.
The only thing he doesn't do is name the actual trigger men.
This book is available and inexpensive.It's a book I highly recommend for anyone wanting to study the assassination of JFK.

who killed the Kennedy's?.......2007-02-17

This book has been around for a few years but I've only read it recently.
The author, John H Davis, certainly convinces me that, regardless of who pulled the triggers, the shootings of John F Kennedy and Robert Kennedy were mob hits ordered by New Orleans mobster Carlos Marcello, while the truth was kept from the American public through the connivance of the FBI whose hands were far from clean.

The Kennedy's dared to bite the hands that fed them. John Kennedy used the Mafia in his rise to power & then not only turned his back on them but declared war on them with the assistance of Robert Kennedy as Attorney General.
Robert Kennedy had a long history of failed attempts to deport Carlos Marcello which included kidnapping him & dumping him (literally) in a deserted backwater of Honduras. The Mafia & Marcello in particular hated the Kennedy's so intensely it was only a matter of time.
Consider this:
The unstable and unemployed Lee Harvey Oswald was a patsy of the Mafia & the FBI. Oswald's uncle & surrogate father Charles Murret, aka Dutz, was a bookmaker in Marcello's gambling operation in New Orleans. In the summer of 1963 Oswald who was living in Dallas came to his uncle for financial help & did not go away empty handed.

The FBI, headed by the megalomaniacal J Edgar Hoover, was so riddled with corruption itself by this time that any investigation done by them was bound to be a whitewash as it would expose the FBI's connections to the New Orleans underworld. Hoover had a long history of friendship with mob boss Frank Costello & stubbornly insisted that the Mafia did not exist. When presented with a report of the infamous crime conclave of 60 mafia heads in upstate New York in 1957, Hoover ordered all copies destroyed. When Robert Kennedy became Attorney General he identified organised crime -- not Communism -- to be the greatest menace to American society; he also earned Hoover's enmity by putting a stop to Hoover's hitherto direct access to the President's office, ordering Hoover to report instead to the attorney general, ie, him.

Jack Ruby, who has been portrayed as a Patriot distressed by the death of his idol, had underworld connections & was at that time suffering from terminal cancer. He owed large sums of money to certain Mafia figures & he executed Oswald to shut him up & to redeem his own Mafia debt. Ruby died in prison of cancer.

The Robert Kennedy assassination is murkier. It was blamed on Sirhan Sirhan, although there is evidence at least one other gun was used in the shooting. Sirhan perpetually owed gambling debts & often did odd jobs for low level crime figures. He hung around California race tracks whose betting operations were connected to Marcello; he also worked as a groom for horse ranch owner Desi Arnaz who was a known friend of LA mobster Mickey Cohen . Cohen's penchant was for secretly filming movie stars in sex setups & blackmailing them - Lana Turner & Marilyn Monroe were victims. Jack Ruby and Mickey Cohen were old friends too: it was all one big extended family

There is evidence suggesting Robert Kennedy's real killer was Thane Cesar, the security guard who escorted Kennedy through the hotel kitchen where he was shot. Cesar was not the hotel's usual security guard; he was temporarily hired to fill in for the day of June 5; he had strong ties to a San Diego mobster (later imprisoned for skimming race-track revenues) & associate of Mickey Cohen. The Ambassador Hotel was partly owned by investors connected with organised crime. Not long after the shooting, the Hotel's director of security disappeared.

The Kennedy brothers were undoubtedly touched with greatness and vision, but with such flaws of character and judgement and hubris that it brought their downfall. Meanwhile the public has been content to be fed a load of crap rather than have the Kennedy name & legacy tarnished. False gods usually have feet of clay.

Oswald, Ferrie, and Marcello: 3 Can Keep a Secret if 2 are Dead.......2006-11-12

I would recommend this book to anyone familiar with the political history of New Orleans and Louisiana in general. A fine book to discuss while having dinner at Mosca's or La Louisiane or somewhere like that. For those of you who know nothing at all about New Orleans, don't bother with this book, because you will never understand it. You almost have to be from Louisiana to understand this book at all. If you're not, go ahead and learn about the history of New Orleans, especially in the twentieth century, before attempting to understand this book. Davis is pretty much right on the money with his writing, though. A nice investigation of the CIA-Mafia alliance that once existed. Also includes a nice look at other wiseguys like Trafficante, Costello, Hoffa, etc... A very good read.

Can't Live with Him, Can't Live without Him........2006-01-27

I have, for a long time been very interested in the history of America's oldest Mafia Family. I have, however, had a very difficult time finding reliable information about the history and activities of the New Orleans Combine. Mr. Davis published this book after sifting through literally thousands of pages of government files. While I imagine that this would confuse anyone, Mr. Davis seems to have entirely lost his grip on reality. The idea that the JFK assaination was the result of a conspiracy is taken for granted in his book rather than questioned. I repeatedly found myself very annoyed by his tendency to pontificate about his JFK conspiracy theories when the story I REALLY wanted to hear, the rise and fall of the New Orleans Combine, was thrown by the wayside. On the other hand, there is no where else that the reader can go to find accounts of Carlos Marcello's rise and fall unless one is willing to slog through trial transcripts and government wiretaps. I did enjoy the section on Operation BRILAB, the FBI sting that brought him down. Marcello boasted about which politicians were gambling at his casinos, sleeping with his prostitutes, and acting as co-conspirators in his criminal activities. But a lot of information has come out since this book was published, including wiretaps of Marcello griping to his Dallas Underboss about the accusations of his involvement in the JFK assassination. "Yeah," said the Underboss, "You wouldn't know Jack Ruby if the [expletive] were to uh, walk into your room." One thing is clear as far as the assassination is concerned; Marcello screamed and howled about the Kennedys, but when JFK was murdered, he was just as devastated as the rest of America. Mr. Davis just needs to get his facts straight.

Not what I expected...........2007-10-04

After purchasing the first book in this series, I expected to find many more crystal creations in the second book since there were so very many in the first. I was disappointed but only because I am primarily a crystal jewelry maker. The patterns were lovely. Just not what I was looking for.

Great Review.......2007-09-10

Purchased to book to give me more ideas on making beautiful jewelry. Wonderful instructions and projects!

This 2nd book contains more excellent beading instruction and continues to give the beader wonderful color palettes to all the beading designs. Another beadbook Classic.

hard to follow.......2006-08-22

I'm an experienced beader and these instructions are difficult to follow, the pictures with the faded parts help some, to follow the thread paths, but I certainly wouldn't reccommend this book to someone that has problems following directions without someone to show them how it's done or the inexperienced.

we have this book, along with 'your 2 year old' and 'your 3 year old', and love it! we have also bought this as a gift for other parents-- great book! great advice! great gift! a must-read for all parents! it really helps you understand where your child is, where they should be, and where they are headed at this special and challenging time in his/her life.

Some good information but very out of date.......2006-10-19

This book definitely needs updating. Though it has some good information, it's mostly intuitive and I found quite a bit of bad advice. The "Stories from Real Life" are clearly out of date as one references "sleeping medicine" for a baby prescribed from a doctor and many more reference spanking and slapping an 18 month old's hands. This book was not for me!

Should be updated.......2006-08-25

Readable, mostly sensible, but with some attitudes that make me cringe.

A parent writes that she's afraid her son will become a homosexual because he seeks comfort from dad all the time. Does anybody really think that anymore? And the answer, which is that the son will "probably" turn out "normal" is both dated and biased. Then there's the cigarette thing. And a mother whose friends think a baby gate is horrid. Just old, old stuff.

But the four stars are for the sensible and compassionate approach to understanding that your baby is an individual, is experimenting with how to act, and needs your help and loving care. There's a lot of good material in here; be judicious and you'll find it's worth reading.

the Gesell Institute/ Ilg and Ames books are the standard texts, the definitive work and guides on raising children in an informed way...

and so many mistakes that we make with children is because we don't know what they are capable of at what age ~

the whole series makes it really interesting to watch a child develop and to remember your OWN development so you understand yourself better ~

i found them invaluable ~ and learning how to be a mom was a blast, and very healing of the things that hadn't gone well in my own early years ~

The Firecracker Alternative Book Award-winning look back at the life of the late artist Edward Gorey. Combining artistic analysis, a personal reminiscence of the artist Theroux knew for over 25 years, and an intimate familiarity with Gorey's oeuvre while drawing on exclusive interviews with the artist (the book was begun before Gorey's passing in 2000 at the age of 75 but completed just after), this book stands as the most comprehensive bio yet written about the beloved but reclusive and enigmatic artist.

ANOTHER AUTUMN AFTERNOON WITH THEROUX.......2001-10-18

The novels, essays, and poems of Alexander Theroux are very, very dear to me and hold a very special place in my heart. You can imagine my genuine enthusiasm when I discovered that this most genuine artist and genius came out with a book about the enigmantic Edward Gorey, another favorite of mine. I devoured every written word in record time. The book deals with insights into character that only a friend could know. This is why the book is most extraordinary. Any PhD. could sit down and dissect the stories and illustrations of Gorey's and attempt to make sense of it all, in their own opinion without having ever met the subject, of course. Theroux is a PhD. who actually knew, befriended, respected, and was a little in awe of the subject. His personal insights delve into the oddities and eccentricities of Gorey's with a benevolent air of concern, and a touch of sadness. I now feel as though I was personally acquainted with Gorey, and was startled to find out how much I have in common with both the author and the subject. The Blondie and Dagwood series with Singleton and Lake, Wendy Hiller, Balanchine, Bankhead, Louise Brooks, the ballet, Sibelius..... I wept a bit while reading this book - feeling as though I was also born in the wrong era. How impossible to discuss the afore-mentioned topics with my contemporaries - its been quite lonely for me. How lonely for Theroux without his dear and kindred friend. This "fake Serbian princess" is certainly glad that Theroux is still around - for he is without question the greatest living writer in America today.

Pretentious and vaguely descriptive of Edward Gorey --.......2001-07-15

Thoreaux's sketch of Gorey's character reveals little insight into Gorey's character. Rather, it dwells to nauseating excess on both Gorey's and the author's specific opinions about specific films, books, music, and visual art. If you're interested in Gorey's transient opinions on art -- as well as pretentious and often vulgar judgments of humanity and art on the author's part -- then I urge your purchase of Thoreaux's biography.

As regards character description, the sole bright point of this book is Thoreaux's description of Gorey's eclectic interest in varied stimuli, as he evidently soaked high and low culture art with equal enthusiasm and intellect. Unfortunately, the book enlightens little more of the enigmatic artist's character, and if it does, it is too thick with opinion and judgment to make a re-read worthwhile.

Despite this, Gorey fans interested in Gorey's artistic influences and factual biographical information will be well served. I am glad I read this book -- but I did not enjoy the experience.

Tea with Gorey.......2000-12-14

Theroux's short book delves into Gorey's persona and influences and gives us a tantalizing glimpse into the world of the much missed Edward Gorey. By limiting himself to his friendship with Gorey, Theroux preserves the air of mystery surrounding the writer and artist. This volume is a welcome addition to anyone's collection of Gorey books and collectibles.

Product Description

O Connell asks whether prisoners who establish social bonds in the reentry process fare better than those who do not. His analysis tests whether life course approaches to desistance are applicable to modern, largely minority, heavily drug involved criminal justice populations. By accounting for stable individual traits and testing race in separate models rather than as a variable, O Connell shows how reentering offenders with different backgrounds engage in relationships and employment, and how these relations in turn affect drug use and recidivism. Life course approaches may require modification to account for racial differences, and we need to reconsider our definitions of success and to think in terms of harm reduction in approaching criminal justice interventions.
