In this series of deft and beautifully written essays,
conservationist Stephen Spear and journalist Janice Riley chronicle
a year of cultivating blueberries on Cape Cod's Hokum Rock Farm.
Spear's family has owned the farm since 1973 and began cultivating
blueberries exclusively in 1986, selling thousands of pints each
season. The photographs and stories, a blend of nature writing,
personal reflection, and practical knowledge, inspire thoughts on
the reasons farming is important and the ways we find meaning in
the natural world. Learn about the history of blueberry
cultivation, the biodiverse flora and fauna on the farm, and facts
about blueberries. Also try out the mouth-watering recipes such as
lemon pound Bundt cake with blueberries, easy graham crust
blueberry pie, and blueberry-cranberry cobbler. Fans of stories
about the natural world, farming, or simply Cape Cod, will
appreciate this celebration of blueberries and a life lived close
to the earth.

This book is among the best on stress and its organizational
consequences. It is based on papers presented at the Seventh Annual
Applied Behavioral Science Symposium. The editors and most of the
contributors are academic specialists on stress. The major theme of
the book is that stress has negative, and sometimes positive,
personal and organizational consequences. On the positive side,
stress--perceived as challenge--may arouse performance-enhancing
responses; but stress may also induce withdrawal, absenteeism, and
poor performance. . . . An excellent preface and introductory
chapter by the editors lay the groundwork for the essays that
follow in this clearly written and perceptively argued anthology.
The volume is valuable to practitioners and to students and
teachers of industrial sociology or psychology as well as business
administration. "Choice"
"Occupational Stress and Organizational EffectivenesS" is one of
the first books to view stress in the context of a systems
orientation. This new book integrates major theoretical approaches
towards occupational stress with specific applications of stress
management techniques. Taking the position that stress need not be
a disadvantage to an organization, the editors explore various
stress management systems and how such systems can be used to the
benefit of both employer and employees. Timely and comprehensive,
this volume is ideal for the industrial-organizational psychologist
involved in human resources management. Health professionals and
human resources directors will also find this book to be an
excellent resource for indentifying and measuring stress in the
workplace.
