Retrospective Conversion Now in Paperback: History,
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schottlaender, Brian, PUBLISHER: Routledge, Retrospective Conversion is an essential guide for library catalogers and technical services managers in the process of converting manual catalog records to machine readable form. It clearly illustrates the advantages and disadvantages of the three conversion methods--converting in-house, contracting to a vendor, and a combination of the two--and covers the areas of cost, staff, time, and record quality for each. Catalogers will learn how to make a bigger investment in advance planning to achieve better end results. Helpful chapters emphasize the need for planning, quality control, and authority control in the creation of a complete catalog in a machine readable form. Also included are case studies that illustrate specific methods in action and provide a wealth of general, usable information.This unique reference covers a variety of valuable topics for catalogers involved in converting manual catalog records. It includes an in-depth bibliography and review of the retrospective conversion literature, including over 200 items addressing general considerations, special formats, and international issues. Specific examples of retrospective conversion are analyzed including projects in medium and large size institutions, non-serials and serials cataloging, music scores, and the Library of Congress's conversion of the PREMARC file. Specific techniques are explained such as the development of a PC workstation interface to facilitate the conversion process, the use of sampling techniques in project cost analysis, how to determine what quality standards are needed and at what cost, and authority control in both manual and online catalogs.
Seabirds and Other Marine Vertebrates
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Burger, Joanna, PUBLISHER: Columbia University Press, Many marine biologists have concentrated on the species approach to the study of marine vertebrates. Although it has long been recognized that species interact, it has been far easier to study that interaction from the viewpoint of only one of the participants. Recently biologists have tried to study interactions from the viewpoint of all participants. Because of the high visibility of birds, it is easy to observe their interactions with other vertebrates such as fish, porpoises, and whales, but it is difficult to obtain quantitative data on their interactions. "Seabirds and Other Marine Vertebrates," the only comprehensive examination of its kind, fills a particular niche: that of pulling together in one place the exciting current work in marine species interactions between seabirds and other marine vertebrates. The majority of essays in this work are structured to include a balance between literature review, original data, and synthesis. They concern obvious aspects of predation, competition, and commensalism. These topics relate directly to food acquisition and survival in a marine environment, and provide paradigms for the future study of marine birds and other organisms. Since man's encroachment in coastal and pelagic environments is increasing and poses a threat to marine birds, a volume elucidating various aspects of their interactions has multiple uses. As well as being of value to ornithologist, this work should be useful to other vertebrate biologists, behaviorists, ecologists and managers involved with coastal planning. It is a forerunner of things to come in marine biology.

The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sutton, Robert I., PUBLISHER: Business Plus, The No Asshole Rule was awarded a Quill Award as the Best Business Book of . When Robert Sutton's "No Asshole Rule" appeared in the Harvard Business Review, readers of this staid publication were amazed at the outpouring of support for this landmark essay. The idea was based on the notion, as adapted in hugely successful companies like Google and SAS, that employees with malicious intents or negative attitudes destroyed any sort of productive and pleasant working environment, and would hinder the entire operation's success. Now using case studies from these and many more corporations that have had unquestioned success using variations of "The No Asshole Rule," Sutton's book aims to show managers that by hiring mean-spirited employees - regardless of talent - saps energy from everyone who must deal with said new hires. Such insights will come from: - Seattle law firm Perkins Coie, which instituted a "no jerks allowed" policy, helping them earn a spot on Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For" list. - United States Supreme Court Fellow Robert Clayman, who noticed that "assholes" in the highest branch of government turned a blind eye to initiatives that would curb abusive and violent behavior. - Testimony from a former American Airlines manager about how former CEO Bob Crandall's abusive "tough love" behavior actually caused psychological harm to those he was attempting to motivate.
Cryobanking the Genetic Resource: Wildlife Conservation for
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Watson, Paul / Watson, P. F. / Holt, W. V., PUBLISHER: CRC Press, There is a growing awareness of a worldwide reduction in biodiversity and the urgent need to develop ways to redress the problem. This is the first major book devoted to the subject of genetic resource banking (GRB) and its role in preserving global animal biodiversity. In Cryobanking the Genetic Resource, expert contributors provide the non-specialist with an overview of the subject and the practical techniques associated with GRB. The book presents a basic introduction to the concepts, and then points the way to relevant literature for those who wish to develop practical applications. The first section deals with the potential contribution of GRB to biodiversity protection, while the second section offers an introduction to the basic cryobiology of gametes and embryos. In the first section, genetic considerations for planning interventions are discussed, together with disease control measures. This section explores related reproductive technologies necessary for the use of cryopreserved gametes and embryos, as well as a range of other issues such as ownership and security of stored material, and the size and location of cryopreserved material. The second section offers a thorough review of the literature on cryopreservation of spermatozoa, oocytes, and embryos. It gathers species into related groups for ease of reference, and does not assume extensive specialist knowledge so that newcomers to the field can make the best use of the available research. This book is an essential resource for zoologists and conservationists with an interest in genetic management and captive breeding, and also for students involved in biodiversity issues, conservation, and assisted reproduction.
Uncanny Spectacle: The Public Career of the Young John
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Simpson, Marc / Weinberg, H. Barbara / Ormond, Richard, PUBLISHER: Yale University Press, By the time John Singer Sargent turned thirty, years old in , he already commanded an international reputation in the art world, creating a stream of works for exhibition that people eagerly awaited and discussed at length. Henry, James noted that Sargent's talent offered "the slightly 'uncanny' spectacle" of an artist on the threshold of his career who in fact had nothing more to learn. This book explores how the young American painter in just over a decade jumped from apprenticeship to wide acclaim, how he presented himself and his works, and how he sought to shape public perception of his talent. The book includes illustrations of every painting Sargent exhibited in Paris, London, and New York through . Drawing on the correspondence of the artist, his friends, and his family, as well as an extensive review of contemporary critical responses, the text examines these works of Sargent's early maturity -- some unseen in this century and others among his best-known works, including Smoke of Ambergris and Madame X. The authors contend that the canvases present a fresh view of Sargent's aspirations and ambitions, representing a metaphoric self-portrait of the artist as a young man. The early paintings, their relationship to one another, and their reception also shed light on the complex, cosmopolitan art world in which Sargent lived. Uncanny Spectacle accompanies an exhibition of John Singer Sargent's early paintings that will open in June at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts.

SPEDISCO SOLO IN ITALIA: Canon G12 + SCAFANDRO CUSTODIA
Vendo Canon G12 completa di scafandro subacqueo Canon. Vendo unicamente per passaggio a una macchina reflex professionale. Da appassionato fotografo sub vi posso dire che questa macchinetta è favolosa. La macchina è in perfetto stato pari al nuovo completa del suo imballo originale, la batteria in dotazione ed il carica batteria. La documentazione a corredo non è mai stata aperta. Lo scafandro non ha mai vissuto infiltrazioni d' acqua ed è sempre stato maniacalmente sciacquato in acqua dolce dopo ogni immersione (o le cose si trattano bene o non durano...) ha qualche segno qua e là non essendo nuovo, ma (IMPORTANTISSIMO) il vetro anteriore (dove l' obbiettivo fotografa per intenderci) è perfetto: quindi foto perfette. Le fotografie che attraverso questa mitica accoppiata si riescono a fare sott' acqua sono eccellenti sia in modalità automatica che manuale. In particolare farete delle MACRO da urlo (se volete qualche esempio, scrivetemi che vi mando qualche foto che ho fatto) Da appassionato fotografo sub vi posso dire che questa macchinetta è favolosa. (Ho avuto la g9, la g10 e ora la g12 che secondo me è la migliore) A questo link trovate una REVIEW completa e dettagliatissima (In inglese) http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/CanonG12 L' oggetto è in vendita anche in altre "vetrine" se viene venduta chiudo subito l' inserzione. La spedizione verrà eseguita in max 48 ore (2 giorni lavorativi) poi dipende dalle poste. Possibile ritiro a mano l' oggetto è vicinanze Milano (in tal caso nessun costo di spedizione/imballo naturalmente) Spedisco SOLO in Italia.... 15 euro pacco postale ordinario....trattatela bene e vi darà soddisfazioni a non finire!!
