After the success of The Englishwoman in America (also reissued in
this series), the indefatigable Isabella Bird (1831-1904) continued
her travels - first to Scotland, then to Australia and Hawaii -
before returning to the United States and taking up residence in
what was then the newest state, Colorado. Her adventures here -
recorded as letters to her sister which she artlessly tells the
reader were never intended for publication - included riding alone
across the prairie, trying to help a family dying of cholera in the
face of indifference from the local inhabitants, a sight of the
invalids who were coming to Denver in huge numbers to be cured by
the mountain air, and an encounter (if it was nothing more) with
that western archetype, the one-eyed, romantic, courteous,
poetry-declaiming outlaw, who by the following year was 'in a
dishonoured grave, with a rifle bullet in his brain'.
In 1856, Isabella Bird published The Englishwoman in America, the
first of what would be many books of her travels around the world.
Adopting a tone of aloof bemusement, she describes in detail the
hardships and annoyances of her travels by sea from England to
Halifax, and on the road to Boston, Cincinnati, and Chicago. The
book's 20 chapters are full of keenly observed and entertainingly
told stories of pickpockets and luggage thieves, greasy hotels, and
Americans who are very polite, but have the unfortunate habit of
spitting on the floor. Bird admits to sharing the regrettably
prejudiced view the English have of America, but nevertheless finds
much to like and admire in this new country bustling with
ethnically diverse immigrants full of energy and bravado. The
Englishwoman in America is a wonderful travelogue that offers a
lively and personal glimpse into mid-nineteenth-century America.
The bandsaw is one of the most widely used woodworking tools, found
in 3 out 4 home and professional workshops. Although deceptively
simple -- a steel blade rotating around two rubber-clad wheels, the
bandsaw does its best work when it's tuned properly. Unfortunately,
most owner's manuals provided by tool manufacturers are difficult
to understand, and the drawings and photos are unclear.
In this book, professional woodworker Lonnie Bird gives all the
information bandsaw owners wished came in the owner's manual plus
much more -- what to look for when buying a bandsaw and how to tune
it up for optimal performance. The information is presented in an
accessible, easy-to-understand way, making this a quick reference
as well as comprehensive handbook. All the information is
up-to-date and thoroughly researched. Excellent color photos by the
author and a clean, friendly layout gives this book on a classic
woodworking subject a fresh modern look. This clearly illustrated
and photographed volume will quickly become the standard reference
and is a must-have title for any woodworker.
Professional Development, Training, and Supervision in Human
Services Organizations provides the latest research on Human
Service Organizations (HSO) groups, both public and private, and
their use of the Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) model for
effective designing, implementing and maintaining services within
HSOs. Each volume in this series highlights key concepts and
applications pertinent to each division of HSOs, with this release

Clinical Systems and Programming in Human Services Organizations:
EnvisionSMARTâ„¢: A Melmark Model of Administration and Operation
provides a step-by-step plan for creating clinical programs within
HSOs using Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) and Functional
Analysis (FA) Systems. This includes establishing standards and
guidelines for behavior support plans that meet federal and state
guidelines. Readers are also provided with instructions and
templates on how prepare clinical “report cards” to track patient
progress. The book promotes a multidisciplinary working environment
for clinicians to help foster collaboration amongst medical,
nursing, psychiatric and allied professionals. Human Service
Organizations (HSO) are groups, both public and private with one
main goal, to enhance human well-being. With the decrease of
federal funding for these services, many private HSOs have been
created to supplement the void. To ensure that these HSOs provide
adequate services to their patients, it is vital that they adopt an
effective model. The Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) model
is an effective approach to designing, implementing and maintaining
services within HSOs. Each volume in this series highlights key
concepts and applications pertinent to each division of HSOs and is
written in a user-friendly format.

A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains (1879) is a work of travel
literature by British explorer Isabella Bird. Adventurous from a
young age, Bird gained a reputation as a writer and photographer
interested in nature and the stories and cultures of people around
the world. A bestselling author and the first woman inducted into
the Royal Geographical Society, Bird is recognized today as a
pioneering woman whose contributions to travel writing,
exploration, and philanthropy are immeasurable. In 1872-after a
year of sailing from Britain to Australia and Hawaii-Isabella Bird
journeyed by boat to San Francisco before making her way over land
through California and Wyoming to the Colorado Territory. There,
she befriended an outdoorsman named Rocky Mountain Jim, who guided
her throughout the vast wilderness of Colorado and accompanied her
during a journey of over 800 miles. Traveling on foot and on
horseback-Bird was an experienced and skillful rider-the two formed
a curious but formidable pair, eventually reaching the 14,259 foot
(4346 m) summit of Longs Peak, making Bird one of the first women
to accomplish the feat. A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains,
Bird's most iconic work, was a bestseller upon publication, and has
since inspired generations of readers. With a beautifully designed
cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of
Isabella Bird's A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains is a classic
of American literature and travel writing reimagined for modern
readers.
