Part thriller, part action adventure--this story is from the standpoint of a young woman who foils rape. It's 1963 and Inny spends a summer in her parents' new home in swank Montecito while waiting to finish her senior year at UC Berkeley. She's determined to graduate, but when a senator's stepson stalks her back to Berkeley, neither her family nor her first real love can protect her from the heart of darkness. "Once I started reading this fiv...

Excerpt from Climacs: A Computer Model of Forest Stand Development for Western Oregon and WashingtonThe model can be applied to four geographic regions west of the Cascade Range: Santiam Pass south to the California border, Santiam Pass north to Mount Rainier, north of Mount Rainier to the Canadian border, and the Olympic Penin sula (fig. Restriction of a model run to a geographic region limits the species in the succession model to those foun...

This book is unique in identifying and presenting tools to environmental decision-makers to help them improve the quality and clarity of their work. These tools range from software to policy approaches, and from environmental databases to focus groups. Equally of value to environmental managers, and students in environmental risk, policy, economics and law.

This book builds on existing work exploring succession, disturbance ecology, and the interface between geophysical and biological systems in the aftermath of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. The eruption was dramatic both in the spatial extent of its impact and the range of volcanic disturbance types and intensities. Complex geophysical forces created unparalleled opportunities to study initial ecological responses and long-term successi...

Engage Literacy is the new reading scheme from Raintree that introduces engaging and contemporary content to motivate and support early readers while providing a reliable and instructional framework. All titles are precisely levelled, with new vocabulary being introduced and reinforced throughout the levels.

This book was developed from a workshop on the "Effective Use of Ecological Modeling in Management, " held in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, on October 23-26, 2000. The workshop was sponsored by the Department of Defense's (DoD's) Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP), the Army Research Of?ce, and the Engineering Research and Development Center of the Corps of Engineers as well as by the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)...

This volume incorporates case studies that explore past and current land use decisions on both public and private lands, and includes practical approaches and tools for land use decision-making. The most important feature of the book is the linking of ecological theory and principle with applied land use decision-making. The theoretical and empirical are joined through concrete case studies of actual land use decision-making processes.

The eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980, had a momentous impact on the fungal, plant, animal, and human life from the mountain to the far reaches of the explosion's ash cloud and mudflows. Although this intense natural event caused loss of substantial life and property, it also created a unique opportunity to examine a huge disturbance of natural systems and their subsequent responses. Based on one of the most studied areas of volcani...

Roger C. Dahlman Environmental Sciences Division U.S. Department of Energy Washington, D.C. The potential for humans to alter Earth's atmosphere has been recognized since the end of the 19th century when Arrhenius estimated that a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide could alter the atmospheric radiation balance and raise average global temperature. Today, atmospheric CO concentrations play an important part in the 2 climate-change debate. S...

Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico is based on an extensive review conducted by the Hypoxia Advisory Panel of the Science Advisory Board for the Environmental Protection Agency, which was chaired by the editor. The book examines scientific advances that, since 2000, have increased understanding of hypoxia in the Gulf. It discusses characterization of its cause, characterization of its nutrient fate, transport, and sources, and the scientif...

Throwing the Oval Office into amusing disarray, Cheryl and Kathleen Bushy enlist in the U.S. Army. After displaying valor under fire, they develop a love of their desert surroundings and an appreciation for their comrades-in-arms. While Chainy hurls epithets at the mullahs and Cindy Sheehan tries talking turkey to their father about withdrawing the troops from Iraq, the President's twin daughters continue to show true grit. Then Cheryl marries...
