Book Description
There is a general lack of understanding of the role of lipids in aquatic ecosystems. The fundamental purpose of this book is to synthesize the divergent literature on aquatic lipids into a coordinated, digestible form. A large part of the book addresses lipid composition and production in freshwater organisms, with chapters on phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthic invertebrates. A common theme throughout the book is the function of lipids in aquatic food webs, with a chapter devoted exclusively to lipids as indicators of health in fish populations. A complementary chapter highlights the role of lipids and essential fatty acids in mariculture. Methodologies to determine the lipid content of aquatic samples and suggestions as to the utility of fatty acids as trophic markers are provided. There is a chapter on the role of lipids in the bioaccumulation and bioconcentration of toxicants and another on the relationships between lipids and surface films and foams. The final chapter highlights the similarities and differences between lipids of marine and freshwater origin. Students and researchers in ecology, phycology, aquatic toxicology, physiological ecology and limnology will find this an invaluable guide and reference.

Book Description
Cancún is blessed with over 240 days of sunshine per year. Its glorious white beaches are picture-perfect. Isla Mujeres, a tiny offshore island like others found in the Caribbean, shares the same enviable climate, but offers a totally different vacation experience, with little of the hustle and bustle of Cancún. This guidebook gives you the low-down on where to go and what to do, no matter what your budget or lifestyle.

Plan Your Trip With This Book.......2005-01-09
CANCUN, COZUMEL, AND THE RIVIERA MAYA ALIVE! from Hunter Publishing Travel Guides, is a wonderfully readable, in-depth guide to everything you could ever want to know about this glorious Gulf Coast area of Mexico's "hitch-hiker thumb." Bruce and June Conord, who have traveled the world, chose this location for all their free time to relax, and their enthusiasm makes readers eager to go there also. The guide is organized in an easy to follow way, arranged by geography and popularity. Their own evaluations of hotels, restaurants, and attractions are listed up-front. I was particularly impressed that they flatly refuse to mention those places which have raped the environment. The tips and warnings in the book are worth the reading for any Mexican traveler, gleaned from their years of experience. History, conversion charts, temperature and climate guides, and shopping hints are all readably presented and easy to grasp at a glance. We recommend this book for anyone dreaming of the sun and surf! Plan your trip with it.
A must have guide!!!.......2004-05-21
If you read only one guide book this summer this should be the one!!! Unlike one of the other reviewers I found this book to be a great source of information. As I fumbled around the Yucatan this was a fantastic wealth of information. Yes it seems like the authors know people as you read the book, only making it more believable that they continue to visit the same establishments and "practice what they preach". To the unhappy traveler I offer a sympathetic ear and like all reviews take his / her opinion with a grain of salt! I prefer mine with tequila ... but others seem to have them in their tears. Have fun and enjoy!!!!
The authors have friends here!!.......2004-04-09
Even though this book has SOMEWHAT helped me with my travel to the Yucatan (ummmm... probably because it was the ONLY book I brought?? Stupid Me!!), I was very disturbed with some of the restaurant choices. "Tell the owners, "so-and-so" that Bruce and June says HELLO and that we sent you!!" Auuuuugh!!
Can we say that they probably get free food for mentioning their names?
I was also quite disturbed how they described the airport's bus stop to CanCun. There are Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 (totally separated). They said that if you are on a chartered flight, you're at the "main terminal and the bus stop is across the street from it". Well, I was on a Chartered flight and flew into Terminal One. Which one is MAIN? 1 or 2?? Assuming 1 is ALWAYS MAIN, I winded up walking more or less of a mile in the 90 degree heat to Terminal 2 to get to the bus stop. SCARY!!!
I backpacked there and was on a budget and they did not list not even 1/4 of the budget hotels. When I stayed @ a hostel, I browsed through a bunkmate's Lonely Planet book and it had WAY MORE INFORMATION than this book!!
This book may seem to be "somewhat big", but the fonts are large... thus taking up more space. I did find some wrong information and the book says to "Please e-mail them."
WHAT?? E-MAIL THEM FOR THE RIGHT INFORMATION SO THEY CAN PROFIT FROM A MORE UPDATED EDITION?? Ripley's!!!
Lonely Planet has the same info that they have... PLUS MORE! This book is very VAGUE for anyone.
Gets right to the point.......2002-06-06
"We had a wonderful vacation using this guide book. Unlike another one that starts with "F," the Alive! guide is not full of upfront stuff that nobody reads.
It gets right to the point in telling what hotels have to offer, the best places to eat (it arranges them by cuisine and gives sample dishes) and devotes many
pages to shopping - in the malls as well as downtown. We got some good bargains as a result." Reader, East Coast USA
Most in-depth, intelligent and helpful guide to Cancun.......2002-01-01
What a joy after reading some of the other guides to Cancun! This book covers almost everything, and is obviously written by someone with an intimate familiarity with the region. It offers helpful hints on each page, rather than just pointing out lists of places to visit (although it does this also). The Mexican to U.S. clothing size conversion chart is particularly helpful. The book dedicates 12 pages to shopping in Cancun, a topic restricted to 3/4 page in the other guidebook I purchased at the same time (and sent back). The coverage of places to stay, places to eat, and what to do is very objective and frank, unlike some of the guides which seem to be produced by the local chamber of commerce. As a lover of travel (and travel guides), I can't say enough about this one - it's as good a guide to a city as I have read.

rumble fish.......2007-04-26
I really loved this book. I've read The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and it is almost the same. After my class read The Outsiders, I decided to read one of the sequal's of the book. The book was about Rusty James and Motorcycle Boy, who would steal bikes and just leave them where they were. It was a very good book. If you liked The Outsiders, then you would love Rumble Fish.
desperate reading.......2007-04-03
The worst S.E Hinton book ever. I felt more compassion for Freddy vs. Jason then i did for the characters in this book. Motorcycle boy was a spokesmen for medication. His bipolar gave a new divination of metal illness. And worse was the losers who crowned him king of the streets. The film version was even worse. I thought the photography was down by spike the rugrats dog.
Rumble Fish .......2006-11-05
Is your life good or bad? Have you ever been alone in your life? Just you, nobody to talk to and nobody to play with. Rumble Fish is a fictional book by S.E. Hinton about a fourteen year old boy named Rusty James, who has a hard time in life and he only has his brother in his family and his gang. He also gets in a lot of fights, skips school and doesn't like to be alone. The story takes place in a neighborhood which appears to be a bad neighborhood. The main character in the story is Rusty James
by Anthony Pugluiese
MOVING BOOK.......2006-11-03
One of my favorite S.E. Hinton books. Characters are great, story is wonderful, the end is quite sad. lf you enjoyed The Outsiders or That was then, This is now- l think you'll like this too. Theres the strong bond among the friends that is common in her books, it really ties you to the characters and their feelings. This story is about a younger brother struggling to understand his older brother (who holds a real tough guy reputation and is always taking off from town on his own adventures) It all comes together with the younger brother finally getting the answers he has wondered about and as with most of her books it will evoke some emotion.
My favorite book!!!!.......2006-08-04
Rumble fish tells the tale of Rusty-james, a 14 year old tough kid who enjoys keeping up his bad rep and wants more than anything in the world to be like his brother, The Mortercycle Boy. The Motercycle Boy is the coolest guy in town, the leader of the gangs, and a mystery to all. Smart, eye catching, and tough; the Motercyle Boy is everything Rusty-James has ever dreamt of being. The only problem is, Rusty-james isn't quite as bright as his brother. He is more bronze than brains and rather reckless. Also he is incapable of understanding The Motercycle Boy and u can't help wondering... is being The Motercycle Boy really as great as Rusty-James thinks it is?
S.E. Hinton is a master of her trade. The charecters in this novel are extremely well developed and unique. Unforgetable, moveing, and true this is definatly one of my favorite books. A good building block to heavier novels such as Catcher in the Rye and Drugstore Cowboy.
