Ecophysiology Of Small Desert Mammals (Adaptions of Desert Organisms)

Book Description

Since small mammals have a large surface to mass ratio, one would expect them to quickly dehydrate and perish at high environmental temperatures. Nonetheless, a large number of small mammal species inhabit deserts. This fascinating phenomenon is investigated by Prof. A. Allan Degen in his book. The majority of small desert mammals are rodents, but shrews of several grams and small foxes of 1 kg are also present. Their survival is due mainly to behavioural adaptations and habitat selection, however, physiological adaptations also contribute to the success. Interestingly, many small mammals that live in different deserts of the world show similarities in their adaptive traits although they have different taxonomic affinities.

Book Description

Very Good Guide.......2006-10-25

I first picked up the "Rough Guide to West Germany" in 1990, and have bought every update since. The key to remember is that the guide is written for the average tourist, not for someone that lives in Essen. Having said that, I have lived in Europe for 8 years, and find the guide indispensable. The beginning chapters provide you with all the essential information you need to plan the trip, including tourist office addresses, best prices for airlines, reminds you to purchase Eurail passes while still at home, etc. The guide itself is written in a slightly irreverent way, giving a wide berth to commercial tourist attractions in favor of historically significant areas. It lists accommodation (sp?) for all price classes, and even directs you to a good meal in individual cities. The guide stands as a good read, even if you aren't traveling. It gives you everything as advertised, and then some.

good, but not wonderful.......2005-02-24

Good: Excellent writing, great pictures, and would recommend it for anyone who wants to know a little bit more about German culture and history. Alo liked the fact that it was in color.

Not Wonderful: A bit on the snobish side, not very user friendly, no immediate translations of german terms into english, the hotels are not broken up into categories, and one must do a lot of going back and forth between sections to find out particular german words and other codes. Moreover, it is geared for travelers from english speaking countries (Australia, NZ, Canada, US, UK and Ireland). Actually ommited some sights in Berlin like the new holocaust victims memorial.

Recommendations: if you want to learn more, buy this book. If you want to travel, buy Lonely planet, since it is much easier to use, has more information on sights, facilities, embassies and consulates from other non english speaking countries plus emergency medical services. Both books are good, though.

Best of three guides to Germany I've used.......2005-02-17

I've lived, studied, and travelled a lot in Germany, and I've used three guidebooks: Let's Go (2003 edition), Lonely Planet (the two most recent editions), and this edition of the Rough Guide. The Rough Guide is the best of them hands down. For starters, it contains more text than the others: though I don't have the Let's Go on hand for comparison, the Rough Guide is almost 300 pages longer than the most recent Lonely Planet Germany, which comes in at about 800 pages. (Because of the thinner paper, however, it is almost exactly the same size as the LP.) The print is also denser and finer, so that the Rough Guide contains probably twice as much actual text as the LP. Legibility suffers a little, but it's a fair trade-off.

More words, of course, isn't necessarily better. Where the The Rough Guide beats the others is in detail and quality of information. For example, where the other guides tell you that the Frauenkirche in Dresden was the most important Protestant church in northern Germany, was destroyed in the firebombing of March 1945, and is now being rebuilt, the Rough Guide tells you also that they are doing the most painstakingly accurate restoration ever - where possible each piece has been dug up from the pile of rubble that was left as a "memorial" after the war and put back where it originally was, and only 10% of the total masory is new. That information adds a lot to your appreciation of the rebuilding of the Frauenkirche. That's just one example. Consistenly, the Rough Guide is more detailed and more authoritative on art, architecture, music, wine, you name it. The LP is by no means bad (although the Let's Go, at least the 2003 edition, is a pretty mediocre effort), but I see no reason to carry any other guide when the Rough Guide is so clearly superior.

UPDATE: I wanted to add to my original review and also address some points made by another reviewer:

- The reviewer says the RG is a well written but a bit snobbish. You could call it that; I say that the RG is not afraid to come right out and say that a sight, restaurant, or entire town is a total tourist trap, or that a place just isn't worthwhile. That's their opinion, of course, but I've found that their opinions are often very well founded. Compare to the LP, which tries to be more balanced and is less opinionated. Given that most travelers have limited time and money, I think they are well-served by the RG's more opinionated approach.

- The Holocaust memorial in Berlin (which is an artistic failure, in my opinion) was unveiled in the spring of 2005, a year after the RG was published and probably nearly two years after it was researched. RG can't be faulted for failing to include this sight. More generally, although there's much overlap between the two guides in what sights are included, RG includes some worthwhile ones which LP overlooks (the Deutsche Bahn Museum in Nuremberg being one good example).

- One thing which travelers often prefer LP for is the inclusion of travel details such as EXACTLY where and when trains depart from, how often they run, how much they cost, or the EXACT prices of hotel accomodation. RG is not as specific and gives just general information (e.g. Berlin to Hamburg, x hours, x times daily) and approximate hotel prices (on a scale of 1 to 9, with ranges given for each). LP's details can be useful, but as often as not I've found that they were outdated or plain wrong. Train/bus services and prices change all the time, and it's very risky to rely on a guidebook which was, say, published a year or two ago and researched another year before that. In any case it's very easy to get all the details from the Deutsche Bahn's excellent website or at the station, so the space in the guidebook should really be reserved for something more useful. As an example, the LP tells you that the ICE train between Nuremberg and Dresden pulls into Zwickau into the center of town, away from the main station. As far as I've been able to tell this was never the case, and in any case since the flood of 2002 the line has not been operated with ICE trains. LP should have gotten this right for the 2004 edition, but it didn't. Better not to include such details at all.

Book Description

INTRODUCTION

Das gibts nur einmal
Das kehrt nicht wieder
Das ist zu schön, um wahr zu sein!

It happens only once
It will not come again
It is too beautiful to be true!

Seemingly in a perpetual state of transformation, Berlin is an extraordinary city. For over a century, events here have either mirrored or determined what has happened in the rest of Europe, and, more than a decade after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the city is on the move again, working furiously to re-create itself as the capital of Europe's most powerful country and as an international metropolis on a level with London, Paris or New York.

The speed of change has been astounding, with a complete shift in the city's centre of gravity. The area around Zoo Station, the very heart of Berlin when the Wall was in place, has lost much of its lure - there's still plenty of shopping to be had, but the action, both daytime and night-time, is now firmly rooted in the east. Scores of trendy bars, restaurants, clubs and galleries have taken over once quiet streets and weekend nights now have a carnival-like atmosphere, the pavements practically impassable. Sleek chrome and glass has replaced crumbling brick throughout the neighbourhoods of Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain, yanking them out of a fifty-year slumber, while Potsdamer Platz, nothing but a barren field until a few years ago, is now a bustling entertainment quarter. It's an exciting, infectious scene and, for anyone familiar with the forlorn and unkempt eastern streets of the GDR, a slightly unbelievable one.

The relocation of government from Bonn to Berlin has played its part in this renaissance - a titanic undertaking with inevitably profound results, most notably, again, on the eastern side of the city. Not only has the physical demeanour changed, with both new and old buildings housing embassies and ministries to accompany the freshly domed Reichstag, but the influx of politicians and bureaucrats has changed the city's ambience, giving it a sophistication and gravitas that offsets the newly found vitality of the streetlife.

This recent regeneration of the city centre is merely the most visible layer of Berlin's dense and complex past. Heart of the Prussian kingdom, economic and cultural centre of the Weimar Republic, and, in the final days of Nazi Germany, the headquarters of Hitler's Third Reich, Berlin is a weather vane of European history. After the war, the world's two most powerful military systems stood face to face here, sharing the spoils of a city later to be split by that most tangible object of the East-West divide, the Berlin Wall. As the Wall fell in November 1989, Berlin was once again pushed to the forefront of world events, ushering in a period of change as frantic, confused and significant as any the city has experienced. It's this weight of history, the sense of living in a hothouse where all the dilemmas of contemporary Europe are nurtured, that gives Berlin its excitement and troubling fascination.

It was, of course, World War II that defined the shape of today's city. A seventh of all the buildings destroyed in Germany were in Berlin, Allied and Soviet bombing razing 92 percent of all the shops, houses and industry here. After the war, Berlin formed the stage for some of the most significant moments in the convoluted drama of the Cold War: the permanent division of the city into communist east and capitalist west, the Blockade of 1948, and, in 1961, the construction of the Berlin Wall. The city became the frontline of the Cold War, and the ideological schizophrenia of East and West is still visible in the city streets. West Berlin made a habit of tearing down its war-damaged buildings and erecting undistinguished modern ones, while East Berlin restored wherever possible, preserving some of the nineteenth-century buildings that had once made the city magnificent. Despite the current feverish construction activity in many parts of eastern Berlin, it's still easy to spot f!

acades scarred by wartime bullets, and common to turn off a main avenue onto a street that appears to have remained unchanged for a century.

Given the range and severity of the events Berlin endured, it's no wonder it emerged far differently from anywhere else in the country. West Berlin's unorthodox character made it a magnet for those seeking alternative lifestyles - hippies and punks, gays and lesbians, artists and musicians all flocked there. Vital to this migration were the huge subsidies pouring in from the West German government to keep that portion of the city alive - with money available for just about everything, Berlin developed a cutting edge arts scene and vibrant nightlife that continue to this day, long after the grants have dried up. Non-Germans came too, attracted by the city's tolerance. The large numbers of Turks, Greeks and Italians, who originally came as "guest workers" in the 1960s, make Berlin Germany's most cosmopolitan city by far - a fact reflected in the excellent variety of cuisine on offer in the city's restaurants.

East Berlin followed this pattern in a more modest way. Much less diverse and considerably less prosperous than its western twin, it was still, as the largest city in East Germany, a draw for nonconformists. No surprise then that it was here, in the late 1980s, that grassroots groups began to call for reform and help set in motion the opening of the Wall on November 9, 1989 - and the eventual collapse of the German Democratic Republic.

What Berlin will be like when the dust from the world's largest building project settles is anyone's guess. Older East Berliners still consider that the west got by far the better deal from unification, and everyone is suffering from an economy greatly weakened by the costs of pulling the two Germanys together. The long-promised financial benefits of a revitalized Berlin will undoubtedly make some residents richer, but will the majority be any better off? The transformation of the city into a vigorous cultural centre, as museums and art collections are shifted and reorganized to integrate facilities in the east and west is encouraging, but how much longer will it take, and how much more will need to be spent? Anxiety and optimism can be found here in equal measure.

Inevitably, the pace of change in Berlin, particularly in the eastern part of the city, means that certain sections of this book are going to be out of date even as you read them. New cafés and restaurants open (and close) daily, traffic is rerouted around building sites, and the public transport system is being radically revamped.

One great advantage of unification is that, for the first time since the 1930s, the area around Berlin can easily be visited. Potsdam and the magnificent palace of Sanssouci is the obvious day-trip, and it's easy to get into countryside dotted with small towns and villages that preserve a "lost in time" feel.

It's a bracing time to see Berlin. As it seeks to keep its bearings even as its entire foundation has shifted, the city is again making history.

Lots of outdated info.......2001-12-30

The Rough Guide to Berlin sure is a convenient size, it fits in my jacket pocket. It also has one or two useful maps. That postive comment out of the way...

My wife and I bought this before we moved to Berlin in Sept. 2001. I think this was only a couple of months after the 2001 edition had been published. We've been let down numerous times by it since: four restaurants reccommended are out of business, prices for museums and other places are about 20% too low, and other small facts are frequently just inaccurate enough to make planning hard.

Sure, budget priced places in Berlin come and go daily, but we've figured out that much of this edition wasn't updated since 2000, including the info about standard tourist attractions and well-known restaurants. Visitors budgeting activities based on prices in this book might be dissapointed.

Finally, an information design complaint. Restaurant maps are numbered with the restaurants in alphabetical order, not according to location. So, if you're standing in Kathe Kollwitz Platz, and you really want Chinese, you have to look at a map, find the numbers on the map in the neigborhood, then look through the whole alphabetical list at each one to see if you want to eat there. Believe me, that's frustrating in the dark on the street.

Better would be to forgo alphabetical listing at all, and list places by proximity. Who says, well, Akbar Pizza is closed, but lets try Amrit for indian since it's next on the list? No, you say, Akbar Pizza is closed, so what else is in the area? You can't easily answer that with the Rough Guide.

a must have in berlin..........2000-02-04

Berlin is a huge city which can, at many times, be very intimidating. The Rough Guide Series takes some of that alienation and fear away as it gives you a very thorough and concise view of the city of berlin.

Aside from giving almost 100% accurate advice on where to eat, sleep, and party, this guide also keys readers in on some of Berlin's very vivid history. Taking Berlin, district to district, it is very detailed in letting the reader know where's what and how to get there.

Without my Rough Guide, I would have been lost in Berlin. I wouldn't even have known where to mail my postcards from. The detailed maps and subway layout are excellent as well. All in all, this guide is great for a first time visitor (like me) or someone who is already familiar with all the Berlin has to offer.

Alan Malone's lifelong dream has been to become an astronaut and fly to the moon. With the help of friends and the financing of an ambitious cable news executive, he smuggles himself and a makeshift 1960s space capsule onboard the space shuttle and embarks on his perilous quarter-million-mile journey. However, his adventure turns into a fight for survival as he discovers a secret-a deception so dastardly that government officials will do everything in their power to prevent him from returning to the Earth. As he faces the prospect of an eternity stranded in space, Alan learns he has a number of unexpected allies, including rogue NASA engineers, two cosmonauts, an aging Russian general, and even the President of the United States. Although Alan Malone has accomplished his dream, he and his friends find themselves confronting a much more urgent reality: getting him safely back to the Earth.

A good space read!.......2007-07-05

A good read! I found the writing a bit rough here and there, but accomplished elsewhere. I wanted to edit it, but also remembered the writing in "We Seven" as being similarly casual and offhand. There appears to be a great deal of technical knowledge, and someone like me can just accept all those elements and their place in the story, since I don't know anything about them. The main thing, though, is that the narrative flow is superb, I feel. The book moved me along at quite a pace and I always felt the swiftness of it and the transitions from space to ground etc. were appropriate and strong.

Tom Clancy meets Buzz Aldrin: fast paced, moon dust laden adventure.......2006-10-23

I enjoyed Footprints on a Secret Moon a great deal--much more than I had expected. I read it in just two sittings. I read about a book a week and probably ten percent or so are space related.

After reading virtually all of the Apollo astronaut biographies, this thriller was a welcome breath of fresh air. I'd compare the plot, pacing, and attention to technical detail to that of an early Tom Clancy novel, except that Footprints is not as drawn out.

I'm also an author (a novel called Eyeball Wars and several non-fiction books on internet marketing) so I know how much work goes into what Senechal has accomplished. I wish that Senechal had made the book about twice as long. It would have been cool with longer scenes. I found myself wanting more detail, character development, and dialog at virtually every twist and turn.

Kudos to David Senechal for a job well done. Maybe there will be a further Alan Malone adventure?

Secrets, secrets, secrets.......2006-10-12

A must read!! Couldn't put this one down. Great character development, felt I knew him personally. The suspense gripped me and held me till the end. For all you Neil Armstrong fans out there, you'll love this book.

I have a dream!.......2006-10-04

Alan Malone (the hero of David Senechal's "Footprints on a Secret Moon") is a bit of a drifter. But through it all he has a dream. He wants to walk on the Moon. Thanks to dogged determination, a purloined spacecraft, financial help from an unlikely source, a back room crew of new and old space-junkies, and some payload sleight-of-hand he achieves his goal.

It's an intriguing tale, which in some ways reminded me of Homer Hickam's "Return to the Moon." I found the story interesting with some surprises along the way, and thusly it is a page turner. Though some of the supporting characters are a bit sketchy, the prime focus remains upon astronaut Malone, and that moves the story along.

Among my generation, many have dreamed to going into space and to Luna. Alan Malone carries a lot of our personal adventuring impulses. For who has not wanted to see the moon up close and personal and to hold a moon rock in our space suited hand?

Intrigue From the Earth to the Moon!.......2006-10-03

The Space Race of the 1960's inspired many young Americans with dreams traveling to the Moon and Mars. David Senechal is a prime example in his tale "Footprints on a Secret Moon",of a man Alan Malone, who was inspired by the Moon landing of July 1969 to figure out a way to fly himself from the Earth to the Moon. This lite read was an enjoyable romp from fullfilment of a dream of walking on the Moon, government intrigue, and well handled technology without being too technical. Any space buff from the golden age of space travel will enjoy this read!

Index
The book is filled with information about how the US made this event happen and all the preparation involved. Also filled with many color and B& W photos of the rockets, astronauts, politicians, NASA, earth, oceans, the moon, man's land and walk on the moon, return to earth, etc..

I recently sat down to look at this book in more detail. I have been cleaning out some books from my house, and strangely also came across a GOLDEN PICTURE BOOK OF OUR SUN AND THE WORLDS AROUND US from 1957.---this was the age prior to man being capable of overcoming earth's gravity enough to go into outer space!.

In great contrast to this book, FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON, 1969, The Golden Picture book of Our Sun and the World's Around Us, 1957 shows how far we have come---Chapter on Rockets into Space, page 46, explains to children readers, "Ever since man learned that the Moon and planets aree other worlds, scientist have tried to figure out how to get to them...Engineers now build rockets that can shoot thousands of miles into space before Earth's gravity pulls them back again. Some rockets now being developed are so powerful that they will escape Earth's gravity completely. They can be sent tothe Moon and to the other planets. After rockets have traveled out into space and back to Earth again safely, crews can get aboard to explore outer space in earnest......No rocket yet built is powerful enough to escape Earth's gravity completely....Scientists are now working on rockets that can travel to the Moon. There will be no crew aboard, but pictures and observations will be automatically radioed back to Earth. The first Moon rockets are designed just to go around the Moon and then head for home--if the engineers can arrange it that way!"...Page 50, in Chapter titled, To Other Worlds, tells the readers,
"But man is determined to master space. Rockets are being developed rapidly. Persons already living may be the first travelers to the Moon. They may go for scientific information, or to see whether the moon has valuable minerals, or simply to get ahead of someone else. But the biggest reason will be that man loves adventure."

Although FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON is not about man's exploration of Mars, this little golden book also contrasts how far man has come with that. It was such a fun read, that I thought it might be interesting to share with others interested in these types of books:
Page 27 of this Golden Book for early science readers, explains, "Mars has no rivers, no oceans or lakes. But it has a tilt like earth's and therefore has season. When it is winter in one hemisphere, ice or snow cover the area around the pole. This polar cap is probably less than a foot deep, but it contains nearly all the water on the planet!....In spring, the ice cap begins to melt. Through telescopes we see dark, greenish patches appear along the edges of the cap. These are perhaps areas covered by green mosses--- the only life believed to exist on the planet. On Earth, such plants grow no higher than an eighth of an inch....As autumn comes, the greenish areas turn brown. As wintger sets in, winds carry the water back tothe pole, and there it freezes again....In 1956, Mars came closer to "Earth than it had come in many years. Astronomers all over the world watched it through telescopes, photgraphed it, and studied its light with spectroscopes. STILL THEY FOUND NO SURE SIGN THAT THERE IS ANY LIFE ON MARS, EXCEPT FOR LOWLY MOSSES." (P. 29)

I have enjoyed both of these books, and I think it has made it more interesting to see how far man has come in space exploration and his approaches to understanding the information gathered.
