Book Description
Oilseed rape, a major crop in many parts of the world, is attacked by a wide range of insect pests, many of which are of considerable economic importance. With the increasing demand to reduce agrochemical inputs on arable crops, the Commission of the European Communities supported a three-year programme in which scientific participants reviewed the natural enemies of oilseed rape insect pests. The various outputs from this important work form the basis of this comprehensive new book.Biocontrol of Oilseed Rape Pests commences with a review of the oilseed rape crop, followed by chapters on pests, pest management strategies and parasitoids of specific pests or groups of pests. Detailed information is also included on sampling, trapping and rearing pests, their parasitoids and predators; the identification of hymenopterous parasitoids; pathogens of oilseed rape pests, predators, predator taxonomy and identification, and the impact of on-farm landscape structures and systems on predators.This book is an essential purchase for all those involved with oilseed rape and for anyone with an interest in agricultural biocontrol strategies. It is also essential reading and an invaluable source of reference for agricultural scientists, entomologists, crop protection specialists, advisers and consultants. All agrochemical companies should have multiple copies of this book on their shelves, as should all libraries in universities and research establishments where biological and agricultural sciences are studied and taught.Dr David V. Alford, based in Cambridge, UK, has many years of experience working as a government entomologist.

Book Description
Control of insect pests and weeds by their natural enemies offers a proven, feasible, safe, ecological method to pesticidal control. In this concise and fascinating account, Paul DeBach and David Rosen trace the historical background of biological control and examine in detail some of the most famous examples of the discovery of natural enemies and their implementation as active successful biological controls. The book has been thoroughly updated to incorporate recent studies, projects and developments on all aspects of biological control. Conclusions reached, however, remain the same; more biological control is needed - alone and as the mainstay of integrated pest management programmes - if there is to be a diminished use of toxic chemicals which are more expensive, less effective and most importantly, damaging to the environment. This is a second edition of the highly successful book published in 1974 under the same title.

Book Description
The second volume of the IMPD series describes aspects related to most important phytoparasitic nematodes, considering the integration of biological control methods with other management practices and technologies, including the use of predatory nematodes and microbial rhizosphere antogonists. Chapters cover topics like the mode of action and interactions of nematophagous fungi, the efficacy of control and management of plant parasitic nematode communities through a soil conservation approach, and exploitation of nematodes-bacteria antagonistic relationships. A focus is given on regional issues, like the management of nematodes parasitizing staple crops, i.e. andean tubers or some important grain crops, like soybean in North and South America or cereals. A review on nematode management in cotton is integrated by a chapter on management of nematodes on wheat. New technologies are also revised, including the potentials of control methods based on RNA interference and issues related to the use of biofumigation to control nematodes in different regional or crop contexts.

Book Description
Environmental pollution resulting from widespread pesticide application has become a serious worldwide problem. Plant Pathogenesis and Disease Control is an important new reference that addresses this problem by exploring the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of plant pathogenesis and emphasizing the use of "pest control agents" rather than "pesticides" for plant disease control. Topics examined include pathogenicity, the resistance of plants against pathogens, the offensive and defensive struggle between hosts and parasites, methods for using natural defense mechanisms to develop environmentally sound disease control agents, and the use of modern biotechnology for plant disease control. The book will be an essential reference for phytopathologists, plant biochemists, pesticide chemists, mycologists, plant cell technologists, and agricultural researchers.

Book Description
Walking tours are the best way to experience and see the depth of London's heritage and its many direct connections with American and Canadian visitors. Even if you have been to London a hundred times you know that you can never exhaust its riches.
See where Benjamin Franklin worked as a printer in a church over eight centuries old, where Whistler painted that portrait of his mother, where Teddy Roosevelt got married, where FDR spent his honeymoon. Robert Frost and T.S. Eliot were first published in London. Fred Astaire had his dancing shoes made here. Ava Gardner and Jimi Hendrix died here.
Accompanied by detailed maps, the ten walks in this book (each starting and ending at a tube stop) will take you to all London's most famous sights as well as places you never knew existed-showing them to you as you've never seen them before.
En route, the author recommends: --Restaurants, cafes, fast-food and take-out places --Pubs and wine bars --Public toilets --Delays and diversions --Shopping and souvenirs --Sights and sites, museums and galleries --Bus and walking tours

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? AND HE HAS A MBA ?!!!.......2006-06-03
My goodness, where do I begin...TYPOS, GRAMMATICAL ERRORS AND A TON OF NONSENSE about life on "the Street". I spent 5 years on Wall Street in various areas of the industry at 2 of the top 5 firms and another one of the top 10 firms. I bought the book because I thought it might give me a basic overview of other areas I might be able to move into and plan a stategy to do. Geez, I was awestruck at the amount of poor writing and overinflated depictions of life in I-Banking. Spare me! I was shocked that the authors made it out of high school much less college and prestigious business program. (I should apply to the school and tell them you can't tell me "no" because you said "yes" to this guy, and look how he writes and openly acknowledges he's an alumni member.) Spend your money elsewhere. Find folks in the business. You will fare much better. This should get negative stars for a poor attempt at a marketing/advertising book attempting to be substantive.
LOTS of grammatical errors, sparse useful info.......2006-02-25
Let me just say that there are waaay better books out there on the subject, even if you just want to get a brief rundown. And you needn't even be a grammar nut like myself to feel antsy about when the next spelling or syntax error is going to show up, because there's an average of one per page. Honestly, I couldn't get through half the book, but I'm pretty sure there was nothing in the latter pages to make up for it.
A simple book that gives you basic understanding of investment banking.......2005-08-30
This is a book written in very simple language, explaining the basics of investment banking. I liked the book because it is not very big, and everything is explained in very simple terms. Probably not the best choice for those who are looking to gain in-depth knowledge. Found a few typos here and there.
Just a big advertisement really..........2004-03-20
This is the second Vault guide that I have read, and the second disappointment that I have had with this series. I really isn't a career guide at all, just a very short back ground on what IB is. You can find a description of IB on the internet for free. The only redeeming value is the "day in a life of", but even then, there are only a dozen pages or so. In all, you can find most of what is in the book for free on the internet. I won't be buying any more vault products, as they have little information, and more pages of ads for other vault products than pages of usefull information.

Monkfish, monkfish, monkfish.......1999-10-13
this book is pure monkfis
An sound introduction to the world of finance.......1999-04-15
I read this publication after getting hired into international investment banking - fact is, there is something new to learn in this book for 'everyone' interested in investment banking, even those who have been in the industry for a couple of years. Having interviewed college graduates for Analyst jobs, the book would certainly be of use to them. But obviously it won't get you a job if you're credentials aren't up to it!
In an industry that changes by the day, use the book as a reference, and remember to do your own reading of the WSJ before your interviews. The firm overviews are slightly cliché, but do give a sense of the unique personalities of each bank.
All in all, you will sound knowledgeable having read the book, but it clearly won't magically get you a plum job on Wall Street.
Great guide.......1999-04-01
I thought this guide was a very thorough inside look at the I-banks. I also bought the Vault Reports "Guide to Finance Interviews," which is the book that has all the finance questions w/ model answers.
No interview questions? What a big disappointment!.......1999-03-30
I bought this book because I thought it contained interview questions and some model answers. Well, it doesn't! Contrary to what some of the reviewers wrote, the 1999 edition for some reason doesn't have any interview questions.
Other than this big disappointment, it is generally a good book, if you are looking for a general overview of the bulge-brakcet I-banks on the Street.
Best guide to Wall Street I've read!.......1998-11-04
This guide is excellent and was a great help is getting my current job on Wall Street. Especially useful were all of the actual finance interview questions with model answers...some of which I encountered word-for-word in my interviews! The insider profiles of the major investment banks were also a fascinating read.

Waste of paper.......2003-12-22
I think positive reviews for these books come from "Vault Staff" The book is tiny and thin, with doublespaced paragraphs to attempt to beef it up. So, each page is in this book has approximately 1/3 of a page's worth of information.
Having said that, we are treated to about 20 pages of information on the financial industry. We are treated to information like "the stock market is where shares of stock - pieces of ownership in companies - are traded every day." No mention of currency markets.
Then, we have 30 pages listing the jobs. The jobs listed include "trader" and each of one, yes one SHORT paragraph describing what they do.
Finally, a list of investment banks (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley) with a 1 to 3 pages describing what it's like to work there (long hours).
Most of this information is common knowledge to people who have half a clue about the industry - TIAA pays less than Goldman: who knew?
One great thing about this book is the advertisements: Not just for other Vault products and sites, but for a few investment banks and recruiters - this may be be the opportunity the readers are hoping for.
highly recommended.......2001-10-28
I don't normally write reviews, but I just got this book and had to write. The book has detailed insider accounts of life inside every major investment banking firms, including its history, areas of specialization, and tips on the hiring and interviewing process. Highly recommended for job seekers and consultants alike.
Essential resource for banking jobs.......2001-09-09
I found this book to be immensely helpful to distinguishing the various investment banks and commercial banks. There are also specific tips for each company on what they look for in the job interview. Particularly as wall street is downsizing, I think the Vault book provided me with the edge I needed to land my job in a tough job market.
