This biography of Sir William Jardine (1800-1874), the foremost
Scottish naturalist of the 19th century, uses original source
material (manuscripts, correspondence, etc.). Despite Jardine's
considerable achievements as ornithologist, ichthyologist,
publisher and catalyst of Victorian science, no comprehensive
biography exists. Jardine owned the finest private natural history
museum and library in Britain and made natural history available to
anyone who could read by issuing 40 small volumes on birds,
mammals, fishes and insects.
Few contemporary writers share the remarkable talent of Terence
E.Jackson. - A talent for telling a story with brightly -lit
realism, for depicting characters with extraordinary sharpness and
insight, and for inciting his readers to agree or disagree with his
viewpoint. Mr. Jackson has indeed done what many of his peers have
failed to do. That is restore the African-American novel to it's
rightful place. Like a bullet being fired from a gun, "Nigger's
Heaven" grabs hold from the first page and never lets go.
"Nigger's Heaven" is a story all readers will want to know and
that none will ever forget.

Paris and London.

==================================================== Rethinking
Psychiatric Drugs: A Guide for Informed Consent is a critical
appraisal of the medications which an estimated 20% of Americans
consume on a regular (and sometimes involuntary) basis. It is the
philosophically, epidemiologically, and scientifically supported
revelation of how and why psychiatry's drug therapies have
contributed to a standard of care which frequently does more to
harm than to cure. Extensively researched and documented, the book
addresses: -- the process by which psychiatric drugs reach the
market -- the history and philosophy of Evidence Based Medicine --
the common flaws in research methodologies which negate the
validity of the psychiatric RCT (Randomized Controlled Trial) --
the problem of allostatic load (how drugs stress the body) -- the
history, long term effects, and utility of the drugs used to
suppress symptoms of depression, psychosis, inattention and
hyperactivity -- the effectiveness of alternatives to medication
Rethinking Psychiatric Drugs: A Guide for Informed Consent exposes
the current crisis in medical ethics and epistemology, and attempts
to restore to psychiatry an authentically informed consent to care.
Agricultural crops are prominent features of an increasing number
of variously perturbed ecosystems and the landscapes occupied by
these ecosystems. Yet the ecology of agricultural-dominated
landscapes is only now receiving the scientific attention it has
long deserved. This attention has been stimulated by the
realization that all agriculture must become sustainable year after
year while leaving nearby ecosystems unaffected.
Ecology in Agriculture focuses exclusively on the ecology of
agricultural ecosystems. The book is divided into four major
sections. An introduction establishes the unique ties between
agricultural and ecological sciences. The second section describes
the community ecology of these sorts of ecosystems, while the final
section focuses on the processes that operate throughout these
agricultural landscapes.
Key Features
* Contains an ecological perspective on agricultural production and
resource utilization
Includes in-depth reviews of major issues in crop ecology by active
researchers
* Covers a range of topics in agricultural ecophysiology, community
ecology, and ecosystems ecology
* Provides examples of ecological approaches to solving problems in
crop management and environmental quality

arms to draw down into their embrace the silky head of a superb
young colt which stood close beside her; a creature which would
have made any horse-lover stop stock-still and exclaim at sight of
him. He was a magnificent two-year-old Kentuckian, fault-less as to
his points, with a head to set an artist rhapsodizing and a-tingle
to put it upon his canvas. His coat, mane and tail were black as
midnight and glossy as satin. The great, lustrous eyes held a
living fire, the delicate nostrils were a-quiver every moment, the
faultlessly curved ears alert as a wild creature's. And he WAS half
wild, for never had saddle rested upon his back, girth encircled
him or bit fretted the sensitive mouth.
Many professionals have a great store of technical knowledge and
an impressive professional vocabulary, but lack the essential
interpersonal commnunications skills necessary for effective
management. This book solves the problem technically trained
managers face by providing a clear, practical set of principles and
methods that will enable them to work effectively and successfully
with subordinates, peers, and superiors. Author Dale Jackson,
himself a technically trained chemist, draws upon his own
experience and the experiences of other professionals who have been
thrust into management situations to offer practical, workable
techniques that will be useful to anyone attempting the often
difficult transition from the world of a technical profession to
that of people within organizations.

individual differences in word and nonword reading by connecting
three literatures that have developed largely in isolation from one
another: the literatures on acquired dyslexia, difficulties in
learning to read, and precocious reading.
This book, first published in 1995, addresses the key issue facing
libraries on how to survive in an age of interdependence.
Increasingly, individual libraries must act as if each is part of a
'world library' Instead of being self-sufficient, each library,
from the small public library to the large research library, must
find ways to put materials from this 'world library' into the hands
of its patrons and must stand ready to supply materials from its
own collection to others, both quickly and cost-effectively through
interlibrary loan. It explores the critical questions for making
resource-sharing work, with particular emphasis on interlibrary
loan. Cooperative collection development, economic decision models,
consortial arrangements, copyright dilemmas, and the possibilities
of technology are explored and a national project to revamp
interlibrary loan and document delivery is described and future
directions posited. Authors present historical perspective, explore
the future, and report from multiple perspectives.
This book examines a new topic in Human Resource Management (HRM),
green - or environmental - HRM, analysing the role humans play in
environmental management at work and environmental behaviours at
workplaces around the world. The book begins with a focus on
negative workplace green behaviours (e.g. toxic chemical leaks, air
pollution, contaminated waste etc.), and what such environmental
problems mean for workers, managers and society as a whole. This
book outlines relevant, underpinning academic theory and research
literature on how HRM is 'going green', and details real-life
organisational examples derived from original and secondary
empirical research to illuminate the implications of adopting Green
HRM practices for relevant stakeholders. In doing so, the book
offers a new, academic contribution to both the HRM and
environmental management literatures.

The new Naval Institute Wheel Books provide important information,
pragmatic advice, and cogent analysis on topics important to all
naval professionals. Drawn from the U.S. Naval Institute's vast
archives, the series combines articles from the Institute's
flagship publication Proceedings, selections from the oral history
collection, and Naval Institute Press books to create unique guides
on a wide array of fundamental professional subjects. Technological
changes are inevitable, often of great benefit, and they must be
understood by all maritime leaders. Since the Navy's beginnings, it
has created, adapted, rejected, and sometimes grudgingly accepted
new technologies. This entry into the Wheel Book series considers
the nature of technological innovation in the U.S. Navy, and it
discusses the manner in which the Navy is currently adopting new
technologies like robotic and autonomous systems, CYBER, and
LASERS.
Feminist and Queer Legal Theory: Intimate Encounters, Uncomfortable
Conversations is a groundbreaking collection that brings together
leading scholars in contemporary legal theory. The volume explores,
at times contentiously, convergences and departures among a variety
of feminist and queer political projects. These explorations -

harassment, workers' rights, and privacy - re-draw and re-imagine
the alliances and antagonisms constituting feminist and queer
theory. The essays cross a spectrum of disciplinary matrixes,
including jurisprudence, political philosophy, literary theory,
critical race theory, women's studies, and gay and lesbian studies.
The authors occupy a variety of political positions vis-A -vis
questions of identity, rights, the state, cultural normalization,
and economic liberalism. The richness and vitality of feminist and
queer theory, as well as their relevance to matters central to the
law and politics of our time, are on full display in this volume.
