The Basset Hound/Ps-815

Customer Reviews:

Beautiful pictures, and an excellent historical overview.......1998-02-07

"The Basset Hound" is an excellent book to add to any true fan of the breeds library collection. The pictures are excellent, showing the beauty and variety of the breed in bone structure and coat color. The historical content details the breeds use in hunting and dog showing, and a brief mention of the breed as a pet. I was very captivated by the pictures, and the information presented was very interesting. For owners of the breed there is even a chapter on traveling with your basset hound for todays busy lifestyles. This is a wonderful breed book.

Could of had less show and more on the actual breed........1997-01-24

I felt this book was an excellent source of reading for the Basset show dog owners. I, myself am not into showing, I enjoy the breed as pets so I was a little disappointed in finding so much reading dedicated solely to showing. I enjoy reading about bassets and would of been more interested in stories, complications this breed can accure as well as how to prevent them or deal with them. I enjoyed the many photos included but once again, the majority were dogs being shown. In my own personal opinion, the book should of been more detailed either in title or on front cover explaining its contents more so. I am on to other reading and am hoping to find less of show dogs

Book Description

Evaluation of the occupational environment is a major aspect of occupational health/industrial hygiene practice. Numerous methods are used to evaluate the occupational environment for physical, chemical, and biological agents, and ergonomic factors that pose potential risks to the health of workers. This comprehensive textbook introduces several related basic industrial hygiene methods for evaluating occupational hygiene.The text is divided into short units that provide a concise overview and summary of basic concepts, followed by a technical exercise. The step-by-step exercises can be conducted in an occupational setting where the applicable agents are detectable and measurable and/or other factors are observable. As an alternative, simulated evaluation exercises can be conducted in the classroom or laboratory. In either case, the student will gain an understanding of the basic concepts for collecting qualitative and quantitative data both directly and indirectly related to industrial hygiene practice.

Book Description

Automatic machines or smart robots are interconnected with distributed knowledge bases by nation- or world wide digital networks. They are supporting human life in various places, at the same time saving energy and resources. Technology and economic development are effecting rapid changes depending on the fields, regions and culture to the way people interact with the systems, while sometimes keeping, otherwise forsaking their own traditions. Man machine systems have to create new interaction styles between human and machine intelligence, support cooperation among different organizations and enhance situation understanding for the long and short term, or remote and local activities regarding performance, safety, security and satisfaction.
The seventh IFAC/IFIP/IFORS/IEA symposium on Analysis, Design and Evaluation of Man-Machine Systems was held in Kyoto on September 16-18, 1998. At the symposium, 99 papers were presented including four plenary papers among 131 submissions.

Book Description

Environmental policy studies commissioned by government agencies or other stakeholders can play a vital role in environmental decisionmaking; they provide much-needed insight into policy options and specific recommendations for action. But the results of even the most rigorous studies are frequently misappropriated or misunderstood and are as likely to confuse an issue as they are to clarify it.

Better Environmental Policy Studies explores this problem, as it considers the shortcomings of current approaches to policy studies and presents a pragmatic new approach to the subject. Reviewing five cases that are widely regarded as the most effective policy studies to have been conducted in the United States in the last few decades, the authors present a comprehensive guide to the concepts and methods required for conducting effective policy studies. The book:

describes and explains the conventional approach to policy studies and its shortcoming
presents the history, impacts, and common elements of five successful policy studies
offers an in-depth look at the different tools and techniques of policy analysis
extends the concepts and principles of successful policy studies to their potential uses in the international arena

Better Environmental Policy Studies presents a practical, battle-tested approach to overcoming the obstacles to formulating effective environmental policy. It is an invaluable resource for students and faculty in departments of environmental studies, public policy and administration, and planning, as well as for professional policy analysts and others involved with making decisions and mediating disputes over environmental issues.
