Weed Control Methods For Recreation Facilities Management

By: Gangstad

It is the purpose of this volume to survey and assess the management problems of recreation waters and to present case problems from the field in which the technical data, published literature, and the operations mechanics are given in sufficient detail to provide a format for practical analysis and application. Special emphasis has been given to measures of control of Eurasian watermilfoil.The primary and secondary uses of a body of water determine the need, frequency, and kind of aquatic plant control required to meet the needs of a specific situation. That is to say, a given body of water may be used primarily, or even exclusively for such activities as fishing, boating, or swimming, and the water itself may be used for domestic (potable water), industrial production, and/or agriculture. These uses may seem to be incompatible in themselves, but it is incumbent upon management to supply the optimum conditions for total water use.

Weed Control Methods for Public Health Applications

By: E.O. Gangstad

This volume includes measures of control of aquatic vegetation that harms human health, since water-related diseases exist in this environment. Although malaria has receded internationally due to the combined chemotherapeutic-insecticidal programs, recently it has resisted both medicines and insecticide control. Active malaria cases in the U.S. were fewer than a dozen before the Vietnam War, but in 1973 the figure was ab out 700, almost all traceable to returning military personnel. The disease could again become prevalent. Other diseases exist whose transmission is indirectly affected by aquatic weed conditions including filariasis, and various trematodiases, especially from the schistosomes, Chinese liver fluke, cattle liver fluke, Guinea worm, giant intestinal fluke, Asiatic lung fluke, and broad tapeworm. Waterweeds also support disease-pest arthropods, i.e., snipe flies, tabanids (horse, gad, deer, and greenheads), Clear Lake gnats, Mayflies, black flies, sandflies, and sewage flies.Ecosystem studies of impounded water research and development of herbivorous fish, and utilization of herbivorous fish in China, are also included in this volume.

Weed Control Methods for River Basin Management

By: E.O. Gangstad

Aquatic plants continue to create problems associated with navigation, flood control, agriculture, irrigation and drainage, values of lands, conservation of wildlife and fisheries, and water resource supply. While much research is being done to find more effective and economic control measures, there is now a great need to apply known facts to achieve a measure of control by the means available. It is the purpose of this volume to provide a scientifically documented treatise of the known facts as they apply to the control of aquatic weeds in river basins and their allied waterways with particular emphasis on alligator weed and water hyacinth.

From Diapers to Diplomas

A Common Sense Approach to Raising Well-Adjusted Children

By: Jack Gangstad

Parents who follow the concepts explained in From Diapers to Diplomas - A Common Sense Approach to Raising Well-adjusted Children, will not need Dr. Phil. While the author, an award-winning teacher at one of the most successful public schools in the nation, acknowledges that the children of today have more problems than previous generations, human nature has not changed. From this perspective, the children of the 21st century are no different than the children of the past. What has changed is the growing number of parents who have drifted away from the proactive and common-sense philosophy of raising children. This has led to more and more kids growing up with a lack of values, discipline, and direction. To confront the challenge of guiding children in the right direction, From Diapers to Diplomas provides readers with universal concepts: • the purpose of discipline is not to punish, rather to correct • parents must make their expectations clear and ensure that their children live up to them • children must be held accountable for their actions • kids need to develop a sense of ownership toward their education so they become self-motivated instead of parent-motivated • pick the right battles - part of wisdom lies in knowing what to overlook • participate in extra-curricular activities for the reward, not the award. The author's expertise in this arena stems from thirty years in the educational trenches at North Central High School in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he was named the 2001-02 Teacher of the Year. This has convinced him that the majority of problems with today's children originate from the home. His hands-on research as a parent, teacher, and coach has helped him develop the practical advice in this 270-page book. The author knows from talking with students, parents, teachers, counselors, administrators, bus drivers, secretaries, custodians, school nurses, and campus police that our communities have a genuine need for the parenting concepts expressed in this book. Readers of From Diapers to Diplomas would include newlyweds who are planning their family, young couples with their first newborn, and parents struggling with child-rearing responsibilities. Since the book discusses parenting ideas from the formative years through high school, it would appeal to parents at all stages.
