The collective and editorially collaborative effort of Kenneth L. Pernezny, Pamela D. Roberts, John F. Murphy, and Natalie P. Goldberg, Compendium Of Pepper Diseases presents highly detailed information on pepper diseases. Written especially for plant pathologists, agricultural scientists, and commercial horticulturalists (though also useful to amateur gardeners as well), Compendium Of Pepper Diseases features black-and-white and color illustrations enhancing extensive descriptions of diseases, symptoms, as well as recommended control measures or treatments. An excellent, in-depth resource, Compendium Of Pepper Diseases is commended to the instructional and reference collections of Agricultural Science collections.

Robert Jastrow does a wonderful job of explaining the various theories and mindsets of Charles Darwin without pressing any bias in the mix. Robert, if you read this, thank you once again for another outstanding read.

What can I say ? Father Ken is partially responsible for my own conversion and is a very good friend . Keep up the good work Father.

Now in an updated sixth edition, Forages: An Introduction To Grassland Agriculture is an exhaustive educational resource concerning the science of forages and grasslands, and using them in agriculture without destroying them. Collaboratively compiled and edited by Robert F. Barnes, C. Jerry Nelson, Michael Collins, and Kenneth J. Moore, Forages benefits from twenty-four contributors who combine their scientific perspectives in this informed and informative resource concerning nutrient management, grassland ecosystems, seed production, grazing management and much more. Forages is a welcome and highly recommended contribution to Agricultural Science reference collections and curriculum texts.

I read the Japanese version of this book. This is one of the best finalce books I've ever read. This book helped me to understand much better the future of financial businesses. It is especially good in explaining: what is the rationale for financial intermediaries to exist, how capital markets evolved, why corporations hedge by themselves, and how asymmetric information affects financial instruments.

The National Gallery of Canada has outdone itself in every way. Kudos to Cazort, Kornell, and Roberts for putting together an astounding book about anatomy in art, a book that is easily comprehensible and not overly bearing. The Drawings and prints reproduced in the book are amazing themselves. The book traces the development of anatomy through the ages. Tough to find a comparable book.

Noble Laureate Robert M. Solow has for decades been regarded as a leader in the field of macroeconomic theory, specifically on the subject of economic growth. Thus, his latest contribution to this growing area of economic study represented an important publication.

And Solow doesn't fail to come through. His work is concise, and approachable for those with a strong undergraduate background in economic theory. He uses a fair amount of calculus to elucidate his points, and familiarity with Monte Carlo simulations is essential.

The book's conclusion is not revolutionary; that savings and investment are critical to growth and that countries with a good head start will tend to continue to outperform countries who are behind, ceterus paribus. But his discussion of continuous improvment (as opposed to discrete innovation) is valuable, as is his reassertion that growth remains, in many senses, a stochastic process. Solow refutes new growth theory (NGT) on the grounds that it lacks rigor and is overly dependent upon unrealistic assumptions. He claims that Arrow foresaw NGT, but opted not to pursue it for this very reason.

In any case, Solow's book is a well-conceived piece of economic theory that reminds of the limitations of economic modelling and of the importance to temper our assessments with the reality of an imperfect world. For everyone interested in economic growth in the next century, this is an important piece of work which ought to be required reading for university courses, as well as for professionals shaping policy today.

It's been more than thirty years since I first read "Lydia Bailey" and I'm glad to see it available again after years out of print. Kenneth Roberts was a terrific writer and he has a terrific story to tell, with action ranging from New England in the early 1800's, to Haiti during Toussaint L'Ouverture's rebellion, to the Barbary Coast. This novel is a little bit detective story, a whole lot of rousing adventure and just the right amount of romance, mixed in with plenty of pointed observations along the way about political shenanigans and the highs and lows of human nature. They really don't write 'em this way any more--which is a shame. Very highly recommended!

Exactly what is needed for a pediatrics rotation. Paragraph form but very brief and well-organized. Very up-to-date and readable, much more so than textbooks in pediatrics. Interesting reading too!

This book is recommended as a reference for Ph.D. Qualifying Exam in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics of University of Michigan Ann Arbor.
