California and the Western States are rich in abundant and diverse
species of mushrooms. Amateur mushroom collectors and mycologists
alike will find over 300 species of the region's most common,
distinctive, and ecologically important mushrooms profiled in this
comprehensive field guide. It provides the most up-to-date science
on the role of fungi in the natural world, methods to identify
species, and locations of mushroom habitats. With excellent color
illustrations showing top and side views of mushrooms of the
Western States and a user-friendly text, it is informative but
still light enough to be carried into the woods. When used to
identify mushrooms, keys bring the reader to individual species,
with a descriptive text providing cues for identifying additional
species. Mushrooms common in urban landscapes are included, which
is especially useful for the casual encounter with backyard fungi.
The guide also provides a table of both old and new species names,
and information on edibility and look-alikes, both dangerous and
benign. A section on mushroom arts and crafts features mushroom
photography, painting, philately, spore prints, dyes, and
cultivation. The guide also offers a comprehensive list of
resources including national field guides, general mushroom books
and periodicals, club and society contact information, and web
sites. This title includes primary descriptions and illustrations
of 300 species of mushrooms plus text descriptions of many more. It
features latest word in mushroom taxonomy and nomenclature. It
provides clear discussion of DNA sequencing and new
classifications. Especially good coverage of southern California
and Southwestern mushrooms often neglected in other field guides.
Self-help is big business, but alas, not always a scientific one.
Self-help books, websites, and movies abound and are important
sources of psychological advice for millions of Americans. But how
can you sift through them to find the ones that work?
Self-Help That Works is an indispensable guide that enables readers
to identify effective self-help materials and distinguish them from
those that are potentially misleading or even harmful. Six
scientist-practitioners bring careful research, expertise, and a
dozen national studies to the task of choosing and recommending
self-help resources.
Designed for both laypersons and mental-health professionals, this
book critically reviews multiple types of self-help resources, from
books and autobiographies to films, online programs, support
groups, and websites, for 41 different behavioral disorders and
life challenges. The revised edition of this award-winning book now
features online self-help resources, expanded content, and new
chapters focusing on autism, bullying, chronic pain, GLB issues,
happiness, and nonchemical addictions. Each chapter updates the
self-help resources launched since the previous edition and expands
the material. The final chapters provide key strategies for
consumers evaluating self-help as well as for professionals
integrating self-help into treatment.
All told, this updated edition of Self-Help that Works evaluates
more than 2,000 self-help resources and brings together the
collective wisdom of nearly 5,000 mental health professionals.
Whether seeking self-help for yourself, loved ones, or patients,
this is the go-to, research-based guide with the best advice on
what works.
In the ten years since Golf Anecdotes was first published, the game
and its players have changed dramatically. This new edition, now
with a foreword by Arnold Palmer and a new chapter covering the
latest and greatest golf stars like Annika Sorenstam and Tiger
Woods, reflects those changes. Readers can enjoy a sweeping look at
this royal and ancient game, in a volume that is both an informal
history as well as a vivid recounting of golf's most striking
incidents and personalities.
Robert Sommers takes us on a grand tour that stretches from the
game's dim origins in the 12th century right up to the modern PGA
tour. Indeed, no other anecdote book offers this much historical
depth or serves up such fascinating lore. We learn for instance
that the first known golf match took place in 1504, between James
IV of Scotland and the Earl of Bothwell. Sommers likewise paints a
colorful portrait of golf in the era of the first
professionals--Old Tom Morris, Allan Robertson, and Willie
Park--describing the earliest rules, the equipment used, the most
memorable events. Much of the book focuses on the 20th century.
Here readers will find wonderful tales of Harry Vardon and Francis
Ouimet, Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen, Sam Snead and Ben Hogan,
Joyce Wethered and Babe Zaharias, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus,
Tom Watson and Lee Trevino, Nancy Lopez and Annika Sorenstam, Nick
Faldo and Greg Norman, and of course, the amazing Tiger Woods. Thus
the wide world of golf is presented, the first professionals and
the latest stars, the double eagles and the double hits.
Informative and highly entertaining, Golf Anecdotes will appeal to
anyone who loves the game.
