The Complete Retirement Handbook

The Most Authoritative Guide Available

By: Forest J. Bowman

If you are 20 or 30 years of age and just starting out in a career, this book can serve you as an excellent road map for your future retirement. If you are 40 to 50 years of age, this book can become the life-saver that can make your shortly-to-come retirement more full. If you are over 50 years of age, you need to rush out and get this book to keep from suffocating during your impending retirement. In other words, this book is an excellent volume for anyone who is in the American work force. The author begins the book with the basic premise that everyone who works for a living will one day retire, if that individual lives long enough. As a result, each person has a right to have a say in his or her retirement. Accepting that premise, the writer discusses the reason for a healthy attitude of looking forward to retirement. He points out that simply looking forward is not enough. One must consider whether to remain in one's locale or to move to a more favorable climate; Bowman discusses the pros and cons of the issue.

Don't Play on the Trestle

By: John J. Bowman

I want to introduce myself to the world. Hi my name is Ritchie C. Mcphee Sr. Bahamian by birth, but still just a mortal human being, A MAN, a man like any other man. This is not a memoir, just me looking at the world through my eyes. This is just an insight into the way I think, the way I reason, the way I rationalize, and try to make sense of this world that we live in. Some of you might be surprised at my interpretation of what I'm seeing, some might be in denial, while others might have the same interpretations, and simply just don't care. All I want to do is raise the conscious thinking of man, and hopefully learn a little more about myself as I grow through this book.

Between Stony Brook Harbor Tides

The Natural History of a Long Island Pocket Bay

By: R. Lawrence Swanson,Malcolm J. Bowman

Winner of the 2017 Robert Cushman Memorial Award presented by the Three Village Historical Society Stony Brook Harbor, or Three Sisters Harbor as it was known historically, is perhaps the most pristine of the Long Island north shore pocket bays. Untouched by major commercialization, it has been designated a Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat by the New York State Department of State and a Significant Coastal Habitat by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Despite these designations, however, there is constant pressure to increase development of and around the harbor. Between Stony Brook Harbor Tides interweaves scientific understandings of the harbor with a consideration of its colorful history to inform and educate a general audience about its unique and delicate state. Data is used to illustrate the harbor's tides and currents and to show how they influence geological processes and pollution susceptibility. Storm surge measurements going back to the early 1990s document some of the extreme high waters experienced, and descriptions of some of the more interesting or important marine species of plants and animals found in the harbor are also included. The book discusses the century-long conflicts that local residents have fought in order to preserve this beautiful place, and it documents the tools that currently exist to help manage the harbor well into the twenty-first century. An excellent supplement to any high school or undergraduate environmental course, Between Stony Brook Harbor Tides provides readers with a basis for embracing the significance of the harbor and what it can bring to future residents.

Imagination and Environmental Political Thought

Imagination and Environmental Political Thought

The Aftermath of Thoreau

By: Joshua J. Bowman

Imagination and Environmental Political Thought: The Aftermath of Thoreau seeks to correct oversimplified readings of Henry David Thoreau’s political thought by elucidating a key tension within his imagination. With the celebration of Thoreau’s two-hundredth birthday now past, this study outlines, and builds on, his own understanding of imagination and considers its implications for environmental politics. Despite the use of the word, “aftermath,” Thoreau’s legacy for environmental political thought is primarily constructive and foundational for modern environmentalism. Thoreau’s virtues and vices have been inherited by his environmentally-conscious readers. The author of Walden’s preference for an abstract, ahistorical “higher law,” his radical concept of autonomy, and his frustration with government and community foster an impractical political thought characteristic of an idyllic imagination. Nevertheless, Thoreau demonstrates a more prudential and moral imagination by emphasizing the inescapable relationship between the moral order of individuals and the order of political communities and by pioneering the central questions of humanity’s relationship to non-human nature. Can this tension of imaginations be resolved? What are the consequences of this tension? Thoreau’s overall vision ultimately creates significant problems with which environmentalists still struggle. While Thoreau’s emphasis on freedom and the immaterial aspects of human and non-human nature are of considerable value, his abstract political morality, misanthropy and escapism must be resisted both for the sake of environmental well-being and human dignity. In addition, this book is an exercise in re-thinking how the humanities may provide scholars critical insights to better diagnose and respond to the environmental challenges of our time.

Paleobiology, Paleoecology, and Systematics of Solemyidae (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Protobranchia) from the Mazon Creek Lagerstätte, Pennsylvanian of Illinois

Paleobiology, Paleoecology, and Systematics of Solemyidae (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Protobranchia) from the Mazon Creek Lagerstätte, Pennsylvanian of Illinois

By: J. Bowman Bailey

The most abundant bivalve of the Essex biofacies (Mazon Creek fauna, Pennsylvanian of Illinois), misidentified by past authors as the marine pholadomyoid Edmondia de Koninck, 1841, is herein named Mazonomya mazonenis n. gen., n. sp., and assigned to the family Solemyidae, based on: (1) anterior elongation of the shell as deduced from brevidorsal placement of the hinge-axis, preserved traces of the external ligament, and supporting structures; (2) preserved traces of a longidorsal extension of the ligamental outer layer and periostracum; and (3) sedimentary backfill marks left by the large foot near the longiterminus of the shell. The second most abundant Essex solemyid (Solemya radiata of past authors), showing traces of the periostracil frill and external ligament, is emended as Acharax radiata (Meek & Worthen, 1860) n. comb. Other Essex solemyids previously unreported include two probably solemyids left in open nomenclature, and Acharax (Nacrosolemya) trapezoids (Meek, 1874), for which Meek's original, non-Esses specimen is designated as lectotype. Systematic revisions herein challenge open-marine and open-estuary depositional models of the Essex biogacies. Unlike coeval euhaline oxic communities in which solemyids are the Essex bivalve community is dominated by solemyids, a recurrent phenomenon in carbonaceous roof-strata immediately overlying Pennsylvanian coal seams. Extant solemyids are common in shallow wuryhaline waters, forming dense chemoautotrophic populations in organic-rich dysoxic/ anoxic muds. Within the Essex, the prevalence of solemyids along with an admixture of thin-shelled euryhaline bivalves and growth-inhibited stnohaline bivalves is suggestive of a transitional paleoenvironment, such as a drowned coal-swamp or restricted estuary, in which superabundance of organics and nutrient pollution had induced eutrophication. Arguably, a persistent suite of traits (amphidetic ligament, edentulous hing, periostracal frill, mantle fusion, reduced gut, and enlarged gills hosting bacterial chemosymbionts) has characterized the Solemyidae since the Early Ordovician. Whereas the dianostic internal ligament of Solemya Lamarck, 1818, is apparently a post-Paleozic trait, the prevalence of external ligaments among Paleozoic solemyids requires that species previously placed in Solemya be transferred to Acharax Dall, 1908, or other genera. Emended examples herein are: S. [Janeia] primeva Phillips, 1836, sensu Hind (1900) (Carboniferous, United Kingdom) is emended as Acharax primaeva n. comb., a probably senior synonym of S. parallela Beede & Rogers, 1899 (Pensylvanian, Kansas) (non S. parallela Ryckholt, 1853 [1854]); Carydium elongatum Clarke, 1907 (Lower Devonian, new Brunswick) is emended as Dystactella elongata n. comb, Additionally, several European Carboniferous species of "Solemya" (e.g., S. puzosiana de Koninck, 1842, S. saginata Ryckholt, 1853 [1854], S. costellata M'Coy, 1844, and S. excisa de Koninck, 1885) should be reassigned to Acharax.
