As the aquaculture industry has expanded throughout the world, it has embraced the experiences of many fields of study to meet increasing technological challenges. The complexities of modern hatchery methodology, more intensive growout systems, and the application of diverse biological and physical sciences to aquatic animal husbandry have reached beyona the ability of most aquaculturists to enjoy an in-depth knowledge of all phases of the aquaculture process. More importantly, in order for tne culturist to have at hand the information necessary to make basic decisions, it requires an extensive library of textbooks and scientific literature. The Aquaculture Desk Reference serves as a concise compila tion of tables, graphs, conversions, formulas and design specifica tions useful to the aquaculture industry. It also provides examples, in a straightforward manner, of how information in tabulature can be used to derive values for specific system design and process strategies. Tables and graphs in this volume also provide back ground documentation and authority for further reference. The Aquaculture Desk Reference is a convenient source book that will alleviate the need for an extensive personal library to access basic information useful for practicing aquaculturists. Many thanks to Mrs. Ruth Aldrich for her assistance in the preparation of this book. My family, friends and associates also deserve my special appreciation for their encouragement and sup port.

World War II: the Radio War relates concerns and conditions facing American homes during The War and the role that radio played in maintaining morale, providing information and incentive to achieve patriotic responsibility. This human account of public sacrifice and national involvement is relevant to current attitudes and concerns facing our country today in spite of the events occurring some seventy years ago. Although the subject is American-based, the narrative of this book applies to other peoples and has appeal in their countries, especially England.

"The book captures an important legal and historical moment and conveys a powerful social message." In the deep South during the early fifties, a promising young high school graduate's hope to attend college is handicapped by family poverty. Joey Henderson, the son of a black sharecropper, eagerly accepts a proposal to meet his educational costs if, for the NAACP, he will attempt to enroll in a local all-white institution (to further the organization's aim to eliminate segregation). Both his parents and his girlfriend Abby disapprove of this bold act and indeed Joey is faced with opposition and eventual violence. After a lengthy court case led by Thurgood Marshall and others, young Henderson is admitted to the white school-only to meet the danger and circumstance of intense bigotry. This is an emotional story of sacrifice and determination which typified the pre-civil rights era and, on this occasion, transformed a rural community.

A Nuts and Bolts guide to Six Sigma written for one of the most important and least mentioned persons in Six Sigma, the Champion. Carl Cordy and LeRoy Coryea guide the manager through a Practical Summary of this Continuous Improvement technique. As Continuous Improvement, Six Sigma is part of a firm's strategy for maintaining the Competitive Edge. The text is divided into two sections. First, the tools the Manager-Champion uses to coach and evaluate his Six Sigma reports are presented. Included in the Six Sigma Overview and Champion's Role in the Six Sigma Process chapters are Porch Light Reliability and Car Starting project boundary setting examples. These illustrate a key question the Champion must answer: 'How narrow should the boundaries of a Six Sigma Project be so my Team Leader can effectively solve the problem it addresses?" Second, the Technical methods used by the Project Leaders are summarized as a reference. Finally, the conclusion briefly sums up the Champion's vital role in the firm's Six Sigma program, as link between day-to-day process performance and overall business strategy.
