Most Complete Guide to Mammals of Europe!.......1999-01-08

I have been searching for a couple years for such a book. This Collins Field Guide is the most complete and accurate guide to the mammals of this area. For example I discovered in this book that there is a species of wallaby the was introduced to Scotland. There are many beautifully illustrated plates in the guide. This is a must for any one interesed in the wildlife of Europe.

Book Description

Mouse Genetics offers for the first time in a single comprehensive volume a practical guide to mouse breeding and genetics. Nearly all human genes are present in the mouse genome, making it an ideal organism for genetic analyses of both normal and abnormal aspects of human biology. Written as a convenient reference, this book provides a complete description of the laboratory mouse, the tools used in analysis, and procedures for carrying out genetic studies, along with background material and statistical information for use in ongoing data analysis. It thus serves two purposes, first to provide students with an introduction to the mouse as a model system for genetic analysis, and to give practicing scientists a detailed guide for performing breeding studies and interpreting experimental results. All topics are developed completely, with full explanations of critical concepts in genetics and molecular biology. As investigators around the world are rediscovering both the heuristic and practical value of the mouse genome, the demand for a succinct introduction to the subject has never been greater. Mouse Genetics is intended to meet the needs of this wide audience.

This textbook is on the web!.......2003-03-21

This textbook provides a good overview of the conceptual foundations of mouse genetics, but it is rapidly becoming out of date as it was last published in 1995. Thus the text doesn't address the current impact of the sequencing of various genomes, especially that of the mouse.

Book Description

This book reviews the biology of the rabbit as a successful invader and colonizer, summarizing many long-term scientific studies and the history of efforts to control it in Britain, continental Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Enjoyed for its meat and fur, but cursed for its impact on ecosystems and agriculture, the rabbit is often at the centre of ecological controversy. The first two chapters describe the origins, evolution, and taxonomy of Oryctolagus cuniculus and its natural and assisted spread. The following four chapters on Europe, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand cover common subjects such as reproduction, population-dynamics, and control operations. The parallels and contrasts in the behaviour, ecology, and management of rabbits in very different environments are fascinating. The last chapter gives a comprehensive review of myxomatosis, arguably the most important and best-studied epizootic in the history of wildlife management.

no complaints.......2007-01-18

the book came quickly and it was in good condition--i was perfectly satisfied

quick brief review.......2006-08-03

Not really afull review as not had time to read all the book
(its a lot of pages) But so far seems quite comprehensive and detailed certainly some useful infomation and reasonably well organised in places , although in others picture layout of island groupings dont always make sense to what the text states,
but may be better giving a review after I have reade more (so far read about 25-30 pages which is really just all the intros
but never the less stillm info in here that would be really difficult to find easily elsewhere. For UK buyers, if you are buying a couple of books then order from the US if you dont need them straight away as its cheaper there, also the UK Amazon site dont list the 2006 version. I fot the rough guide at the same time to the greek islands both UK prices are £11.99
so it would 24 pounds plus delievry in the UK, and it only cost me 23 pounds ordering with delivery from the US

Independent Travellers Greek Island Hopping 2006 .......2006-07-13

Book Description

Here in lyrical prose is the story of the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the words that became the national anthem of the United States. This flag, which came to be known as the Star-Spangled Banner, also inspired author Susan Campbell Bartoletti, who, upon seeing it at the Smithsonian Institution, became curious about the hands that had sewn it. Here is her story of the early days of this flag as seen through the eyes of young Caroline Pickersgill, the daughter of an important flag maker, Mary Pickersgill, and the granddaughter of a flag maker for General George Washington's Continental Army. It is also a story about how a symbol motivates action and emotion, brings people together, and inspires courage and hope.
