Animal Biotechnology and the Quality of Meat Production

Book Description

This volume is the first in a series of reports of workshops on "The use of animal biotechnology, to improve animal health status and meat quality". This subject covers several points of focus, involving items as diverse as grassland utilization and meat quality perception. "Animal biotechnology" was defined to include manipulation of reproduction; genetic manipulation of animals (transgenic animals); development of diagnostics and vaccines; and the use of growth promoters (performance enhancers) that manipulate digestion (e.g. probiotics) or tissue metabolism (e.g. somatotropins). The volume adopts a multidisciplinary approach to animal biotechnology and its relation to meat production.

Customer Reviews:

Here's a great book about some not well known great places........2002-07-24

Although you could probably find books on the Four corners, the Gulf Coast, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Chesapeake Bay, the Great Basin, the Ozarks, and the badlands/prairies of the Upper Midwest, it would take you a very long time, and a lot of money to find books covering these regions as well as they are covered in this single book.

As usual, the National Geographic photographers have done an excellent job, particularly with the Upper Peninsula and the Four Corners.

Book Description

A majestic bird swoops down, snatches its prey, then soars into the clouds. It is a bald eagle, one of North America's largest hunting birds.

For centuries the bald eagle has been a symbol of majesty, strength, and freedom. In 1782 it became the official emblem of the United States. Yet now this fierce hunter is in danger of extinction.

Gail Gibbons's thoroughly researched text and dramatic illustrations present the bald eagle in all its grandeur- hunting, courting, nesting, and hatching- with fascinating facts and statistics about this remarkable winged predator and the efforts to save it.

Great Teaching Tool with Gorgeous Illustations.......1999-07-30

I used this book as the basis for a program on eagles prepared for children ages 5-9. The book provides lots of accurate facts about the eagle, its habitat requirements and how we can insure its viability. The illustrations are wonderful and enhance the technical story of the eagle being told by Gail Gibbons. I will use this book again for my own children and for programs focusing on eagles for the early elementary school age kids to learn about our eagle population on the James River.

Give me book three, these books keep getting better!.......2003-01-13

I LOVED Walks The Fire, and so I rushed out to get Soaring Eagle, and I'm really glad I did. I liked it ever better than the first book in the series! I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the third book, Red Bird, and can't wait to get my hands on it either. Whitson is one of the best, if not the best, Christian Historical Fiction authors out there!

Even Surpasses "Walks The Fire"!.......2001-03-06

First of all, if you haven't read "Walks The Fire", you really need to read that first or you will be lost with "Soaring Eagle".

Soaring Eagle, the adopted son of Jesse "Walks The Fire" King and half sister of Jesse's daughter Lisbeth, discovers that in a battle with the White man he has killed his sister's husband. This story follows Soaring Eagle and Lisbeth in their journey to forgiveness; Soaring Eagle and Lisbeth each discover the faith of Walks The Fire, and Lisbeth learns to love again.

Once I began this book I absolutely HAD to finish it, reading it in meetings, at work, even in the bathroom. This one has everything -- tragedy, action, romance -- you'll love it!

Have Tissues Nearby.......2000-05-25

I never expected Soaring Eagle to be better than Walks the Fire, but it was! I was totally caught up in the physical and spiritual journey of Soaring Eagle. His struggle to admit his connection to not only white people, but also to Christians, was enthralling. To add even more drama, Whitson has Soaring Eagle interact with Lisbeth's husband in a secondary plotline that will keep you spellbound. Normally I am not an emotional person, and I was actually sobbing out loud by the time that I read the last word of Soaring Eagle. I am a prolific reader of Christian fiction, and Whitson far outclasses her more well-known counterpart Lori Wick. The Prairie Winds and Keepsake Legacies series are likewise far above anything that I have read by Oke, Wick, Glover, or Peart (and I have read them all). My only complaint is that Whitson is not writing them fast enough!

Beautifully interwoven story!.......2000-05-23

Even better than Walks the Fire (which was great), Soaring Eagle is a spellbinding story of God's grace and human need. You have to stay with this one until the end. Everything comes together as pieces of a puzzle. Beautiful!

LizBeth meets Soaring Eagle her brother - can she forgive?.......2000-04-13

When I left off with Whitson's first book in this series "Walks the Fire" I was hoping book 2 would be as good. I was not disappointed. It was even more exciting! Jessie King is dead, LisBeth her daughter has just lost her husband in the Indian war, and now she seeks some meaning to life. In mourning, she finds she is too bitter to accept the faith of her mother. Soaring Eagle is fighting a battle of the cultures. He is an Indian who is forced to act like a white man. He refuses their God. Jim Callaway is a career soldier who had seen and done such horrendous things that he deserts the army, running, and ends up in Lincoln, Nebraska near LisBeth and smithy, Joseph. David Braddock is introduced in this book and as rich as he is, he cannot convince LisBeth to end her mourning and court him. So many changes in the town's people occur, the most outstanding being when the daughter of the town gossip accepts the call to an Indian mission school. There she meets Soaring Eagle and Carrie, a little white girl who is the only one who can reach into the heart and soul of Soaring Eagle. Soaring Eagle wears the gold cross which Jessie, his dead white stepmother wore, and a locket with the pictures of his mother and an unidentified woman...his sister whom he has never seen? LizBeth has nightmares about an Indian riding the plains with HER husband's locket around his neck. The interaction of LizBeth and Soaring Eagle is spell-binding and puts the reader heading straight into book 3, Red Bird.

Book Description

Kali Wallace is spellbound by the breathtaking land that spreads out before her -- and by a proud Blackfeet brave who calls it home. Though she never plans to marry, dedicating her life instead to her career as a photographer, she cannot still the rapid pounding of her heart when Soaring Eagle is near. And when the handsome warrior enters her dream -- one more passionate and intense than any she has ever experienced -- Kali awakens to find that her world has been changed forever.

Soaring Eagle trusts no white man -- or woman -- and was hoping the beautiful stranger would leave the reservation once his tribe refused her request to photograph them. Now the spirits have spoken, wedding him in a powerful night vision to this stiff-willed enchantress with moonlight dancing off her golden-red hair, uniting them for all eternity. But their fiery, foretold love goes against all they each believe in -- and it is doomed to end in heartbreak…unless their two worlds can somehow become one.

SOARING EAGLE'S EMBRACE.......2007-05-07

I REALLY ENJOY ALL HER BOOKS AND THIS WAS A REALLY GREAT ONE

Very Good Native American Historical.......2003-08-04

Setting - Montana Mountains 1895 - Kali Wallace and her father, a noted historical author, have come to the Blackfoot reservation in the Montana mountains for more research on the native American peoples and for Kali, whose photographs accompany the text. However, as the Indians have a fear of being photographed - stemming from gossip that the photo steals their spirit - Kali must use her charm to convince the Chiefs that she would bring them no harm. Their Indian guide, Gilda, (a female) convinces both Kali and her father to accompany her up to Chiefs Mountain to see a spectacular sunrise. Gilda spins a tale of lost love and spirits before everyone settles down for the night. Kali, promptly fell asleep but was awakened during the night by someone singing. Following the sounds she comes upon the sight of a most magnificent Indian warrior. There eyes meet, he holds out a fan of feathers, she touches and is overcome and runs away.

The following days, the government Indian Agent arranges a presentation for Kali and her father, to meet the chiefs promising to use his influence to arrange permission for Kali to photograph. Naturally, during the presentations she spies the handsome warrior, only he is giving her looks as if he despised her. Not knowing what she had done she manages to speak to him and finds he trusts `no white persons'. Kali finagles a way to get him to accompany her to take some photos the next day, whereby the attraction that is smoldering seems to ignite after a stampede that has Soaring Eagle first saving her life, then after the stampede and the ranchers who caused it show up - Kali manages to save his life.

The plot is relatively light with Soaring Eagle whose deep spiritual beliefs allow him to recognize the spirits at work bringing them together is able to readily confess his feelings. Kali, on the other hand, fights the attraction, denies her feelings and comes up with the very plausible and plain facts of the impossibility of their situation until a mysterious photograph she didn't take shows up. The romance of Soaring Eagle and Kali sharing the same dream in which the spirit world marries them is very powerful and deeply moving with supernatural overtones, rich in Indian lore and historical facts and very sensual. If not for the inconsistencies I felt in some of the dialogs I might have rated this a little higher for I truly did enjoy the story and most definitely recommend it to those readers who find this American Indian genre to their liking.

A fascinating paranormal historical romance.......2003-07-02

In 1895, Kali Wallace and her father come to Montana to photograph Indians. However, the local tribe seems uninterested in posing though one warrior Soaring Eagle goes so far as to scorn the two whites. However, as Soaring Eagle becomes better acquainted with the idealistic naïve Kali, he finds to his disbelief he is quite attracted to her.

As they sleep apart, Soaring Eagle and Kali share the same dream in which the spirit world marries them. She denies it, but he is elated because he realizes that he loves her. As Kali begins to accept the reality of the shared dream, she knows she loves Soaring Eagle, but realizes nothing can come of their relationship as she is a globetrotting photographer and his people need him here in Montana.

The latest Karen Kay Legendary Warrior tale (see WAR CLOUD'S PASSION and LONE ARROW'S PRIDE is a fascinating paranormal historical romance. Readers will find fascinating the depths that Ms. Kay plunges her audience into a close look at Indian spiritualism. Soaring Eagle is a delightful male lead as he quickly changes from antagonist to protagonist. On the other hand, it is frustrating is that the lead female spends much of the tale in denial until a photograph persuades her to reconsider. Still sub-genre fans will embrace this soaring novel.

Book Description

An in-depth look at ASM Pacific Technology, the world's top company in the semiconductor assembly and packaging equipment industry. Started in Hong Kong thirty years ago, it had to face many unfavorable conditions for high-tech in Asia (such as the lack of infrastructure and resources), the volatility of its industry, and severe competitions from companies in the U.S., Europe, and Japan throughout its history. Nevertheless, it maintained profitability for all thirty years, grew organically and consistently, and today is significantly larger than any of its competitors.

This book reviews the history of ASM's growth, examines its success from differentiated strategies, leadership and culture, innovative practices, technologies and products. The management lessons along these dimensions are also explored in detail. The book also covers Asian-specific context, such as the establishment of an advanced manufacturing operation in mainland China, and explains its unique culture, challenges, and opportunities.

Ms. Finley writes of the American Southwest in this tale of a young man searching for his true identity. His encounters and new friends will amaze and entertain you to the last page. The author is a native of the locals of the story and it is evident that she has researched her subject matter. Historical fiction at its best.

I am truly enjoying the book. I have always been interested in eagles and this book has given me more insight into life . I would recommend this book to all people.

Learning to Soar.......2002-11-21

Mary Whelchel has shared some spiritual gems in this book. It was a delight to read and each chapter challenged me in more ways than one. Using the eagle as a guide in this book allowed Mary to effectively get her message across. I have a new-found respect for those majestic birds and will never look at them the same way. All Christians will find this book enlightening and I guarantee you will walk away with at least one new piece of knowledge on eagles. More importantly, you will be spiritually uplifted and encouraged.
