Book Description

This book describes the principles derived from our knowledge of the biology of seedborne pathogens and how these are applied in the practical control of seedborne diseases. The pathogens covered are seedborne fungi, bacteria and viruses which attack temperate and some tropical field crops. The main part of the book is concerned with the processes of infection of seeds, the location and the survival of inoculum, and the transmission and spread of seedborne pathogens. The author then describes how, with this knowledge, strategies and methods have been developed and employed at national and international levels to exclude and eradicate seed-transmitted diseases. Effective methods for the detection of seedborne inoculum are necessary throughout and a specific chapter is devoted to these technologies. The book is written for practicing plant pathologists as well as for advanced students of plant pathology seeking a general review text of this subject area. It is also highly relevant to workers in this agrochemical industry with special interests in seed treatment and seed treatment methods. _

Camping was fun , Mountsafaris staff were friendly , very safe with them both on the mountains and on safari . Their camps have all facility.

Mountsafaris prices are fair . Their prices are all incrusive , like , pick ups from the airport, park fees, transport by landcruser with open roof. tour driver ,food three meals a day ,cook .

Good introduction, but not enough on the trekking peaks.......2003-02-13

I found this book a good introduction to anyone expecting to go trekking in East Africa. It goes over, in substantial detail, all the factors you may face (medicine, visas, hotels, transportation, tours, trails, etc.). However, there is very little on the trekking peaks, which I thought would be the most interesting portion of the book. For example, on Mt Kilimanjaro there are only maybe 5-6 pages, with only an overview description of the routes. If you are looking for overall trekking in East Africa, this is good book, but if you are looking for info on the trekking peaks, there are other, more specific guides, that may be more helpful.

Essential luggage items: meds, visas and Lonely Planet.......1999-01-20

I used this book to plan and complete a Kilimanjaro climb, a Tanzanian safari (Serengeti, Olduvai Gorge, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara) and a trip up the coast of Kenya. The book was more than helpful; it was essential to the success of the trip. Helpful information is complete, accurate and relevant: exactly what you will find in the Lonely Planet Trekking guide. The helpful information -- routes, housing, food, currency, gear, etc. -- are tools to keep you safe, healthy, prepared and even comfortable. The essential information is much more: it gives you a feel for where you are going and what's important about being there. Descriptions of languages, religions, customs, history, geography, geology, climate, etc., gave me a deeper awareness of the countries I was navigating through. This book is strong on both counts. Here's an example: The vocabulary lists were really helpful in opening conversations with staff, villagers and border officials. However, the book's essential advice was to just try your best at speaking Swahili, and the people you meet will respond very warmly to your having made the effort. The results were heartwarming, and they opened the doors to other discoveries I could not have made otherwise. The book itself is a valuable commodity. On Kilimanjaro I leafed through the chapters for maps and plant descriptions. The book so fascinated my guide that I gave him my copy as a parting present (though I couldn't part with it on the climb since it was the only map & route description we had!) Note that the Lonely Planet Trekking books do not promise to be field guides for the areas they describe: bring another volume(s) to help identify the flora and fauna you encounter.

important scholarly contribution.......2007-10-09

The book offers a nice introduction to the artist's life and times. Also provides excellent insights regarding the workshop and distinguishing between Rembrandt's art and that of his pupils. The scholarship is indepth and apt, most of the writers being part of the Rembrandt Project. There are 83 separate plates (most in color) with wonderful essays and explanations.

If you can't see Rembrandt in person, this is the book.......2006-10-10

This box set is the most prized possession on my bookshelf. I could not possibly do the pictures and information in this book justice with words. Some of the most amazing detail photographs of Rembrandt's surfaces that I have ever seen.

A compilation of masterworks, and the next best thing to viewing the museum exhibit in person.......2006-02-06

In conjunction with the 400th anniversary of Rembrandt's birth in 2006, Rembrandt And His Time: Masterworks From The Albertina, Vienna is the companion book to the Milwaukee Art Museum's exhibition of twenty-seven of Rembrandt's most important works, as well as drawings by Roelant Savery, David Vinckboons, Jacques de Gheyn II, Hendrick Avercamp, Jan van Goyen, and Esaias van de Velde which offer some of the earliest examples of naturalism. Works of Rembrandt's contemporaries and followers such as Jan Lievens, Nicolaes Maes, Adriaen van Ostade and more are also examined in context. Rembrandt And His Time displays black-and- white sketches and full-color artworks in their full majesty, along with a thoughtful, one-page text commentary upon each work, contemplating its origin, materials, or significance in a larger and changing school of artistic thought. A compilation of masterworks, and the next best thing to viewing the museum exhibit in person.

Book Description

A painter celebrated for his portraits, Rembrandt excelled at capturing the sensuality of his subjects. This collection of drawings and prints showcases Rembrandt's finest erotic work. Some of these pieces were originally created as studies, while others were intended solely for private enjoyment. Each possesses the sublime qualities that distinguish Rembrandt's work: emotional intensity, the artist's frank and unwavering gaze, an acute understanding of the human body and the ability to suggest its energy and grace in just a few lines. Packaged to replicate an artist's notebook, this latest volume in a popular series features an embossed cover and informative text. Its simplicity and beauty make it the perfect gift for a friend or a lover.

What's here is easy to enjoy.......2007-10-03

So let's start with what to enjoy: the art. Most pieces are etchings; Rembrandt didn't invent etching, but arguably reinvented it. Others are drawings in sanguine, graphite, charcoal, or ink wash. Most aren't overtly erotic as I use the term, they're just nudes - as if R's artwork could be "just" anything. Among other things, those figure studies show how body fashions change over time. Back then, understated busts and fleshy figures defined the "It" girl; today, it's understated figures and fleshy busts. Go figure. Even if only a few drawings have clear sexual content, the others help sustain a likably physical mood.

The biggest things not to enjoy are the things not included in this pricey book. R's wonderful painting, "The Jewish Bride," wasn't a sketch, so it was cut - too bad, since I have happy personal associations with it far beyond any objective analysis of its content. And, although a man relieving his bladder was somehow considered erotic, R's famous sketch of a woman doing the same did not make it into this collection.

High production values make this book a solid artifact. Fine, dense printing on opaque, glare-free paper carry the images well. A delicate buff tone to the paper creates an ambience of age. Heavy stock gives it a substantive feel. It's short, though, just 31 numbered reproductions. Thick boards for the hardbound cover act a bit like a restaurant's fat-bottomed wineglass - they give the illusion of a big payload, but only an illusion. And, even if it's cute and gives that "top shelf" sense of exclusiveness, the die-cut covers and red ribbon tie-shut are just a bit precious. This is a very nice collection, but not quite as nice as it makes itself out to be.

Bad Prints.......2006-06-22

These cheap reproductions only give the faintest indication that Rembrandt was aa genius with a pen and ink. Here his line work is reduced to mush and the washes are all grayed away into a uniform dullness. This is a very disappointing book. There may be some point to publishing a cheap edition, but in my opinion Dover would be better served by putting out a book with real quality rather than these bad prints.
