Book Description
Despite the number of wildlife and conservation studies that are conducted, researchers and resource managers have not had a comprehensive guide to planning new studies. Wildlife Study Design fills that need by covering all aspects of study design, including surveys of major types of studies and variables, impact assessment, sampling techniques, inventorying and monitoring, and analysis of data. The book includes a practical, step-by-step guide to setting up a new study. Minimal mathematical notation and examples drawn from field research make applied animal ecology both accessible and relevant. Resource managers, researchers, and students of wildlife and conservation biology will find this book a fundamental resource for implementing and evaluating appropriate studies.

Book Description
"Golf courses and course design ate for more than golfers; good courses attract birds for the enjoyment of all. Scott Gillihan shows how to effectively create and manage courses that contribute to bird conservation."—
Richard M. DeGraaf, Chief Research Wildlife Biologists, USDA Forest Service
"Golf courses are habitat for birds. Scott Gillihan does a superb job describing the bird management possibilities for managers of golf courses and other habitats. May the day come when golfers in conference at the 19th hole talk about two kinds of birdies that added to the day's enjoyment."—
Jack Ward Thomas, Boone and Crockett Professor of Wildlife Conservation, University of Montana
"The book will be an important reference for golf course management professionals who wish to be good stewards of birds and other wildlife on their property. The conservation philosophy and guidance that you offer should allow conscientious superintendents to establish a sound approach to bird conservation on their courses."—
Thomas M. Franklin, Wildlife Policy Directory, The Wildlife Society

Book Description
This book is the first about private wildlife conservation and community involvement in Zimbabwe. It is a case study based on ethnographic fieldwork done in 1998. It focuses on the joint venture between a private wildlife conservation initiative, the Save Valley Conservancy, and its surrounding communities in terms of reciprocal exchange and the land question. It makes clear, amongst other things, that the current political tragedy in Zimbabwe about land did not start when Mugabe lost the referendum in February 2000. The book tries to offer an explanation for the unforgiving route that Mugabe has obviously taken in the land question, despite his words of reconciliation when he came to power in 1980. This book is of particular interest to students, practitioners and academics in the fields of (private) wildlife conservation, community participation and organisational co-operation

Book Description
A definitive guide to all things meat in the greatest restaurant city in the world! Mr. Cutlets will take you on a carnivore's journey through the meaty midsection of New York City, showing you what kind of meat to order, where it comes from, how to get it done the way you like it, and how to tell a good restaurant from a bad one without -ordering. Features include reviews of New York's finest steakhouses; a profile of Charles Gabriel, Harlem's fried chicken virtuoso; buying meat for the Peter Luger steakhouse; behind the counter at the Carnegie Deli; making Italian sausage at Faicco's Pork Store; plus many meaty, beaty, big, and bouncy others. If you want to learn the difference between lamb and mutton, how to tell the difference between rare and medium using the palm of your hand or where to find some good barbecue in the Big Apple, please meat Mr. Cutlets in Manhattan!
Mr. Cutlets is often confused with Josh Ozersky, a New York-based freelancer who writes regularly on meat for The New York Post. Josh's book Archie Bunker's America: TV in an Era of Change, 1968–1978 is published by Southern Illinois University Press.
Customer Reviews:
A Must Have for Meat Eaters.......2004-01-10
No matter if you agree or disagree with Mr. Cutlets' reviews, this book is a fabulous read. Enjoy it with a steak and a bottle of red wine!
Praise from a vegetarian.......2003-11-20
Even as a vegetarian, I savored this book; Mr Cutlets' wit-marinated prose is totally entertaining even if you're not into meat. Who else can compare White Castle hamburgers to whippets...
Mr. Cutlets, Super-Genius.......2003-11-02
This weighty tome is the definitive guide to all things edible and dead in Manhattan, but it is also a great read owing to Mr. Cutlets' inimitable prose style. It should be mandatory reading for all schoolchildren the world over, and is spoken of in hushed tones in the corridors of power from Washington, DC to Burkina Fasso.
Yum!.......2003-10-10
I used to be hungry for meat. Now this guide book has show me where I can find the good stuff. A must own for any meat lover!

She has a precocious 3-year-old sister who tends to leave wet nappies at the foot of her bed, an insane cat who is prone to leg-shredding "Call of the Wild" episodes, and embarrassing parents who make her want to escape to Stonehenge and dance with the Druids. No wonder 14-year-old Georgia Nicolson laments, "Honestly, what is the point?" A Bridget Jones for the younger set, Georgia records the momentous events of her life--and they are all momentous--in her diary, which serves as a truly hilarious account of what it means to be a modern girl on the cusp of womanhood. No matter that her particular story takes place in England, the account of her experiences rings true across the ocean (and besides, "Georgia's Glossary" swiftly eradicates any language barriers).
The author, Louise Rennison, is a British comedy writer and it shows. Whether Georgia is dealing with wearing a bra ("OK, it's a bit on the loose side and does ride up round my neck if I run for the bus"), pondering kissing and how to know which way to turn your head ("You don't want to be bobbing around like pigeons for hours"), or managing the results of an overzealous eyebrow-plucking episode ("Obviously, now I have to stay in forever"), she always cracks us up. Georgia struggles with the myriad issues facing teen girls--boys, of course being at the forefront--but she does it with such humor and honesty it almost seems like a good time. This refreshingly funny book is ripe for a sequel, which readers will await in droves. (Ages 11 and older). --Brangien Davis
Book Description
Angus:
My mixed-breed cat, half domestic tabby, half Scottish wildcat. The size of a small Labrador, only mad.
Thongs:
Stupid underwear. What's the point of them, anyway? They just go up your bum, as far as I can tell.
Full-Frontal Snogging:
Kissing with all the trimmings, lip to lip, open mouth, tongues ... everything.
Her dad's got the mentality of a Teletubby (only not so developed). Her cat, Angus, is trying to eat the poodle next door. And her best friend thinks she looks like an alien -- just because she accidentally shaved off her eyebrows. Ergghhhlack. Still, add a little boy-stalking, teacher-baiting, and full-frontal snogging with a Sex God, and Georgia's year just might turn out to be the most fabbitty fab fab ever!
Customer Reviews:
Hilarious! It will make you laugh out loud. I couldn't read it in public........2007-08-31
I really enjoyed this book! It was so entertaining and funny to read. I think all teenage girls should read it because it is easy to relate to. Georgia is a funny, sarcastic teenager stuck on the 'racks of love' and with her loyal cat and drooling younger sister, journeys into the world of perverted boys, nosy dads and inch upon inch of lip gloss. Written as a dairy, it really portrays what life for a teenage girl in England during the early 80's might have been like (with or without Wet Lindsay). It's a younger Bridget Jones, ready to face England, one high heeled boot at a time.
GEORGIA NICOLSON RULES!!!.......2007-08-06
My! I cannot get tired of Georgia Nicolson's quirky adventures. She's nuts and her snogging lessons even more so. I guess, we all know what it's to fall for a sex god and doing the stupidest things ever. And this girl is queen of stupid! Stupid in a nice and hilarious way, btw.
LOBE, LOBE, LOBE this book. (No, this is not a spelling error. Read the book and find out). Feel cranky? Read this. Feel sad? Read this. You'll laugh like a loon because Georgia and her family and her friends are quite the colorful ones. Angus is a big favorite. I wish I had a beast like that myself.
Snogging and Laughing, Laughing and Snogging.......2007-07-19
The title may sound ... freakish ... to say the least, but this book is hilarious! Georgia is so out-of-the-box, but still, so much like me. Good to know I'm not the only one who thought my eyebrows were too bushy and decided to handle them myself. =)
Georgia is hilarious!! Really, I'm talking actual laugh-out-loud stuff. Even though she's across the sea from me, I couldn't feel closer to her.
Once you're done laughing your knickers off with this book, check out:
On the Bright Side, I am Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God by Louise Rennison
Read on!
Hilarious---10 thumbs up.......2007-06-08
"What an unbelievably BRILLIANT night.
Double cool with knobs.
Robbie KISSED me.
The Sex God has landed."
Georgia Nicolson is your normal English teenager. But, when she meets Robby, the Sex God, her life goes crazy. Georgia tries so hard to get the Sex God to notice her, but she soon realizes Robbie has a girlfriend, "wet" Lindsey. After some stalker-like investigation she finds out that Lindsey seems to like Robbie much more then Robbie ever liked her. So, Georgia tries to convince Robbie how desperate Lindsey is and she succeeds. The Sex God landed. Georgia secretly dates Robbie, but her parents soon inform her that she will be moving to New Zealand. The book ends abruptly, leaving the reader on their toes asking for more. Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison is a very entertaining and creative book about a desperate teenager and her odd life.
The vocabulary in this book is very different from American words, but if you ever get confused there is a glossary in the back. Georgia uses words such a "wet" meaning nerdy, or words such as "fringe" meaning bangs. These different words make the book more believable and much more interesting.
The characters in this book are very interesting. Like desperate Georgia Nicolson and of course her cat Angus, make the book ten times funnier. For instance, for a costume party she dressed up as a stuffed olive, and so many things went wrong. First, her cat had a "Call of the Wild" episode, and attacked her costume. Then, she could barely make it in to the car, so her father drove next to her as she walked to the party. Last, people laughed at her then ignored her. She didn't have a very good time at that party.
The way the book was written in diary form, including date, time, and other such information, was another good aspect of the book. When Georgia is wondering something she seems to write like every other minute. It makes the book even funnier. Also since it was written in journal form it is easier to read.
Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison was an interesting, entertaining, and hilarious book about an unusual girl and her life. I recommend this book to teenagers or anyone else who wants a good laugh. After you read this book, make sure to keep reading to find out what happens next.

Don't expect much, and you won't be disappointed..........2007-05-20
Conversely to almost everyone else here, I read this book on recommendation from my mother. I didn't expect to like it much, and for the first twenty pages I couldn't stand the narrator, but this book grew on me and I must admit that I quite enjoyed it.
People have been saying that they enjoyed or didn't enjoy this book because of the narrator, and I would have to agree. Whether or not you relate to Georgia, you have to admit that there are girls like her. The entire time I was reading this book, I was amazed by how Ms. Rennison had seemed to borrow the thoughts of some of the shallower people I know, all whom I could see doing all of the things that Georgia does (minus the hilarious cat and younger sister, of course). And no one can say that they haven't shared at least a few thoughts with this narrator at one time or another!
I understand where people are going when they say that this book is crude and such, but I would like parents to take a few minutes to acknowledge that their children have already been exposed to most of what Georgia writes about. If you are going to shelter them from a relatable book that really isn't too explicit, then where are they going to learn about these things that offend you, besides through experience? If you are not comfortable reading about them, then are you really comfortable talking about them? Just because you could not enjoy a book doesn't make it a bad book.
Basically, this is an enjoyable, thoughtless, mostly humorous book that is easy to pick up and put down whenever the mood strikes you. It is certainly a chick lit, but worlds more palatable than Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries and the like. It is written by an English author, so it does have English slang, but there is a glossary at the back for any really confusing words.
