Great Resource for Alternative Health Care.......2007-04-18

This book provides an excellent guide for those who want alternative care. It includes information on herbs, acupuncture, mind-body work, food supplements and other alternatives. Written by a physician and based on the ratings of a panel of health care providers it covers a wide range of expertise. I was especially interested in the section on back pain that I had recently experienced. True to my experience the traditional medical and physical therapy mentioned was not effective but the alternatives were. This book can save the consumer time from experimenting and lets them go straight to the best treatment available. Highly recommended.

Excellent resource for those looking at alternative medicine.......1998-10-07

This is an excellent guide to choosing an alternative health care option. It marries the option with the ailments so readers can see what options work best with their specific concern. The cost of treatment is invaluable when making a choice and for comparison when talking with providers. This one is a keeper for your personal bookshelf!

Book Description

This report and its recommendations come at a particularly critical time in the nation's history: in the face of looming fiscal imbalances, the president and Congress have committed to strengthening the Social Security system and increasing retirement income for all Americans. Improved federal revenue projections provide a unique opportunity to meet these promises. Working on the issue over the past two years, the National Commission on Retirement Policy has developed the only policy framework for reforming Social Security that has bipartisan support in both houses of Congress. The plan is comprehensive, fiscally responsible, and bold, and it is set forth in detail in this, the NCRP's final report.

Book Description

First published in 1992 and now available only from the University of New Mexico Press, this is a firsthand account of life at a famous archaeological ruin. Married to Richard Wetherill, the rancher and amateur archaeologist who ran a trading post in Chaco Canyon from 1896 until he was murdered by a Navajo in 1910, Marietta Wetherill got to know her Navajo neighbors as intimately as an Anglo could. While Richard was excavating at Pueblo Bonito, Marietta managed the trading post. She befriended a singer who adopted her into his clan and gave her a close-up view of Navajo medicine and religion.

Book Description

The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, represented an unparalleled opportunity for scientists, economists, planners, energy specialists, and other professionals from around the world to exchange ideas and information. Bringing together the views discussed at the corresponding International Symposium and Exhibit of Environmental Technologies (ECOTECH) -- an official event sponsored by the Rio de Janeiro State Secretariat of Industry, Commerce, and Science Technology of Brazil -- Pricing the Planet addresses our ecological future and explores alternatives to mainstream solutions.

The contributors emphasize the need for alternatives that are both economically viable and ecologically sound, and challenge the conventional assumptions and assertions found in the work of many economists. Most importantly, Pricing the Planet makes clear the crucial role that both national and international policy plays in successfully achieving balance between economic and ecological goals.

How to find, identify, measure, and interpret the clues mammals leave behind--explained and illustrated like never before. Includes essays that contextualize tracking as a developing science continually garnering more interest and participation; included also are instructive anecdotes from the author's work as a tracker and wildlife expert. An invaluable resource for beginning or professional trackers and wildlife enthusiasts in all North American locations.

Customer Reviews:

Great illustrations and descriptions.......2007-09-13

This book has very clear pictures and descriptions. It is a great guide to help you identify tracks and scat when you are in the mountains. It is a great resource to use when you see tracks or scat and want to know what animal left them.

Mammal Tracks Review.......2007-09-01

Great book - very thorough collection of mammal tracks and more. Very much worth the money.

Excellent resource.......2007-06-08

This book has great photos of scat, prints, and other animal sign. I was able to use it to definitively identify otter scat on my property. Information is grouped by type of sign, so all the scat pictures are together, for example, and those are subdivided by how they look (pellets, amorphous, etc.). For many animals there are several examples of scat showing what you might see if the animal had been eating berries, or meat, or whatever. In addition to the photographs are drawings and scale data, and other information about animals and their habits. Though as you can tell, I mostly use it for scat identification.

A huge help!.......2007-03-11

I am earning a B.S. in wildlife management and I was needing a book that would help me with mammel signs. I reviewed several and found that they were not what I was looking for. After purchasing Mammal Tracks & Sign: A Guide to North America Species, I found that it was a huge help! This book gives understandable descriptions and a lot of pics of mammal dens, feces, tracks, and other signs. I encourage anyone who is in the wildlife perfession or just the everyday wildlife lover to purchase a copy.

A Text Book - Not a Field Guide.......2007-03-08

Great book with loads of detail. This blows away anything else out there on the subject, but it is not a field guide or a week-end reader. This book will take you a serious amount of time to read and then a lifetime to comprehend and master. This book is a textbook and should be purchased with that in mind. I believe the organization of the book could be better arranged and more navigable. In the book there is some preaching, recruiting and praising of the Tracker and the art of Tracking early on, but it passes soon enough to be of no concern. You will come away with a new perspective regarding tracks and their interpretation. Well worth the money, and I could not beat the Amazon price either. There are other places to get the book, but they charge $10 more. Happy reading.
