Book Description

This new release presents the wealth of information gleaned about nonhuman primate nutrition since the previous edition was published in 1978.

The book expands coverage of natural dietary habits, gastrointestinal anatomy and physiology, and the nutrient needs of species that have been difficult to maintain in captivity. It explores the impact on nutrition of physiologic and life-stage considerations: infancy, weaning, immunology, obesity, aging, and more. And, the committee discusses issues of environmental enrichment such as opportunities for foraging.

Based on the world's scientific literature and input from authoritative sources, the book provides best estimates of nutrient requirements. The volume covers requirements for:

* Energy.
* Carbohydrates, including the role of dietary fiber.
* Proteins and amino acids.
* Fats and fatty acids.
* Minerals.
* Fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins.
* Water.

All Flyfishers should have this book.......2007-07-21

One of the most useful books a flyfisherperson can have. Outstanding information and advice on tying flies that will be useful and how, when and why to fish them. Covers softhackles, flymphs, nymphs and winged wets. Simply a great read even if you do not intend to fish many wet flies. Highly recommended.

Great reading.......2007-05-12

Hughes writing style will keep you reading til the wee hours, and his information is spot-on!

wet flies.......2007-05-10

As alway Dave's book are loaded with info,buy it and start increasing your catch rate.I did!!

A brave new old world.......2006-01-30

I have only recently starting flyfishing and am in process of learning with dries. Picked up this book in an effort to understand one more aspect of this wonderful sport. Dave Hughes has done an outstanding job whetting my appetite for fishing with soft-hackles, winged and wingless wets (flymphs, I love that word!) and fuzzy nymphs. The respect he has for those who opened his eyes to this area of the sport comes through in the elegant and simple manner in which he explains the material. This is clear, practical, and a whole lot of fun. Terrific!

Excellent reference.......2002-12-15

Hughes' writing is clear and concise. His distillation of work by earlier writers on the subject is lively. It appears to me that he is generous in acknowledging the innovations and achievements of others including his own contemporaries.
But this is more than a well-researched history by a modern practitioner. Hughes' own contribution is the convincing and clear demonstration of some tying techniques that I now use in my basic repertoire. The colour plates are clear and well organized, and the advice, as usual, is worth taking seriously.

German Dictionary.......2005-07-09

This dictionary comes in very handily when translating letters from my family and friends in Germany.

the best, period.......2004-02-19

I have studied a lot of languages, and so I've bought a lot of dictionaries. This is by far the best one I have ever used. It goes way beyond the basics, has plenty of idiom, and even archaic words/phrases, all of which is great for the beginner/intermediate student and essential to advanced ones. If you buy this dictionary, you won't need any others. It's worth the price.

GOOD OLD WINE: BUT LACK OF UPDATE SINCE 1978 IS WORRISOME........2003-03-22

In taking care of daily conversational idioms and phrases, this "Cassell's German Dictionary" did not forget technical and professional terms. It is complete in every sense a dictionary in its class should be. Invaluable pronounciation guides featured in both English and German: thus making it a suitable learning tool for either an English native or a German one.
What makes this lexicon so endearing is the way it simplified all those complex verbs, which are notorious barriers for anyone learning German grammar. Also, with over 1,430 pages, the listed price of this dictionary is very reasonable.
However, potential buyers may be greatly discouraged by the fact that this dictionary has not been updated since 1978. Except for antique-geeks, nobody would fancy buying a dictionary that is older than him or her.

Throw the others out..........2002-09-17

I'm currently taking a Survey of Theological German course at a small, liberal arts college. I fought with smaller dictionaries for weeks, but could never find the words I needed. After consulting with the Professor, he told me to throw the others out, and go buy a Cassell's. This dictionary is absolutely indisposable -- it provides me with the old meanings I need for this class (and can't find anywhere else!), but proves equally useful with modern idioms.

The best reader's German-English dictionary.......2001-04-04

I'm very sorry to see a couple previous reviews that seemed to expect more of a conversational or technical dictionary. Cassell's is unquestionably the best for reading essays, stories, novels and poetry (until you have enough knowledge to need only occasional reference to an all-German dictionary like Wahrig's for the occasional mysterious word). There is a British bias, mostly in the English-to-German part, but it seems quite modest. I've used my copy (of a previous edition) for more than 30 years. This is an essential tool for any English speaker studying German in school, college, or independently. I'd rate it at least one "star" better than comparable Langenscheidt or Oxford/Duden products.

Customer Reviews:

OK but a poor quality printing that is physically hard to read.......2006-11-04

I bought the Kassell's based on the recommendation of my teacher, but I don't like it. I am a language student learning German professionally for 20 hours/week. This dictionary has only 35,000 words and is printed horribly. The newstype is smudged and printed on low-quality newsprint. I find this book physically frustrating to read and discern what it trying to tell me.

Buy Webster's New World German Dictionary instead. It is gorgeous, organized better, and printed with crisp black type on bright white paper. It has over 100,000 words and it much better for daily use. I love that one.

For fast, easy reference and comprehensive listings.......2000-05-29

There are over 35,000 entries. That is just the right amount for a portable dictionary. This was originally used for a German class. Now I use it to interpret German subtitles in silent movies. There is a table in the back of "German Irregular verbs" and another for "English irregular verbs."

Too bad the Cassell's Contemporary Italian/French/Spanish/German series are now out of print. I have them all the they are the best grammar books I own. I am a language buff and own several grammars and these can't be beat! I had been looking for the Cassell's Contemporary Italian recently and discovered the Langenscheidt Pocket Grammars are the Cassell's Contemporary series in new editions.

A most helpful handbook.......2000-01-25

I purchased this book while studying German at a local university. It was a real help to me. What the text book does not cover, this handbook does. If you are serious about studying German, then you need this handbook.

Indispensible!.......2000-03-01

This conveniently small (portable!) book has words and idioms arranged in standard dictionary format (for idioms this means organized by key words). Example sentences make usage very clear. I only have one complaint: idioms are not identified regionally. At any rate this book would serve admirably as an aid to translation or understanding. After the dictionary proper there are several smaller sections of words grouped by theme and translated in both directions: English false friends (extensive!), journalese, telephoning, food and dishes, travelling, motoring/technical auto terms, animal comparisons and analogies, AND a small section of English idioms. This little book is incredibly helpful and you won't need another one like it.

Not for Scholarly researchers.......2002-04-17

This handy edition of Cassell's German Dictionary is just that: a handy edition. And although it contains many idiomatic phrases and other helpful tools, it is not designed for those who wish to do scholarly research in German literature. The text does not contain enough technical terms or theological idioms to facilitate this type of research. For those who intend to use it for more casual study, this text would be highly recommended.

5 stars isn't good enough!.......2001-10-16

Aside from Wahrig's German-German dictionary, you will be *extremely* hard-pressed to find a better German dictionary.

Easy to follow... good examples... idomatic expressions... proper translations that show correct modern usage/interpretations... includes some words in dialect...

I've been a constant student of the language for over 10 years now and this is by far *the* best dictionary to have. No collection of German reference books is complete without this dictionary. My father (Ph.D., German Literature, Univ. Tennessee '77) has used his for over 30 years (with the exception of the 5 years I had stolen it from him while I was in college).

Hands down, the best.
