George Meléndez Wright

The Fight for Wildlife and Wilderness in the National Parks

By: Jerry Emory

In 1927, at the age of twenty-three, George Meléndez Wright conceptualized and eventually funded the first wildlife survey of western National Parks, radically changing how the National Park Service (NPS) would manage natural resources under its charge. By the time Wright arrived in Yosemite National Park to work as a ranger naturalist-the first Hispanic person to occupy a professional position in the NPS-he had already visited every national park in the Western United States. At a time when national parks routinely fed bears garbage as part of "shows" and killed "bad" predators such as wolves and coyotes, Wright's new ideas for conservation set the stage for modern scientific management of parks and other public lands. Before his revolutionary ideas began to influence Park Service policy, however, Wright faced persistent pushback by an entrenched culture that disregarded wildlife apart from the role that fauna played as a tourist attraction. Nonetheless, he prevailed. Wright died tragically in a car accident in 1936, while working to establish parks and wildlife refuges on the US-Mexico border, and yet, to this day, he remains a celebrated figure among conservationists, wildlife experts, and park managers. Jerry Emory, a writer connected to Wright's family, draws on hundreds of letters, field notes, interviews, and other primary documents to offer both a biography of Wright and a historical account of a crucial period in the evolution of our parks. Including a foreword by former National Park Service director Jonathan Jarvis, the book explores and celebrates Wright's vision for science-based wildlife management and his vocal support of wilderness in our parks and asks if current practices have achieved his goals"--

The Rise and Fall of Kansas Wesleyan University Basketball

The History of Kansas Wesleyan University Basketball

By: Jerry J. Jones

One hundred and sixteen years have passed since Kansas Wesleyan University (KWU) formed basketball teams known as the Wesleyans, the Methodists, the Preachers, and now, the Coyotes. Fathers, sons, and grandsons have worn the purple and gold colors, winning and losing but always striving to represent the university in a most positive manner. Head coaches had been students, middle school, high school, and college teachers. Like the players themselves, the coaches had come from different states, scattered in all directions. But they were here in Salina back in 1901 and continuing on in 2017 as teammates and brothers of the basketball, bound together by the mutual story that is Kansas Wesleyan basketball.

Turning the Tide at Gettysburg

How Maine Saved the Union

By: Jerry Desmond

One hundred and fifty years ago, the United States was saved at the Battle of Gettysburg. At most of the decisive points of the battle, it was soldiers from Maine that stopped the Rebel army in its tracks. While Joshua Chamberlain and his 20th Maine Regiment are perhaps the most well known, in fact eleven infantry and cavalry regiments, plus three artillery batteries and a company of sharpshooters--comprising some 3,700 volunteers--represented the state of Maine in the battle. Historian Jerry Desmond details, location by location around the battlefield, the heroic actions of the volunteer regiments from Maine.

ANGER ANTHEM

A Brief and Impractical Guide to Girls, Guns, God, Grace and Other Guttural Matters

By: JERRY MICHAEL GRIMES

I AM UNSURE HOW TO BEGIN, as I have started and stopped more than I care to admit. Sometimes stopping out of fear, I have written chapters that will never see the light of day. Sometimes starting out of anger—I am frustrated by my own ramblings as rage can only take me but so far. There truly is no safe place to pour out my soul, and I once found solace in the new thoughts I could entrap somewhere between the notepad and the printed page. I cannot, and will not, promise that what follows will not again result in the incoherent, self-indulgent ramblings of an humbled-narcissist. My insecurities and anger betray me at every turn—insecurities stemming from my blackness, my Southernness, and my aloofness—anger resulting from having loved one, who cheated, the resentment fashioned from being hated by my own and even more hated by those, who disown me. I am a black Baptist from a low-income background—in the eyes of this world, I am less than nothing. My mother and father gave me all they had and did not have as I was protected by my older brother and older sister, who I love more than life. Then there is my native United States, which I love despite some ugly realities that have left me beyond jaded. I over-compensate, I over-extend, and I resentfully show compassion to the racists I despise. I have feigned the personality of the misogynists I detest, I have pretended to share the exaggerated fears of the xenophobes I dread and given silent ascent to the homophobes I pity. I am angry. I am angriest with myself. I am, in all likelihood, one of the angriest men in the history of history. And as if unto death, I offer to the world my past, my heart, my failures and my abandoned hopes without precondition. I am far too much of a coward to commit suicide (just yet) and have reached a breaking point in which I must either air my grievances with myself and this world, or finally amass the courage to exit this place. My detractors will undoubtedly say, “Then Jerry, please do us all a favor, stop whining and kill yourself already!” However, as Neil Young remains on this side of eternity, I am best off staying put for the time being. Yet, I would console my detractors my assuring them that should this work be published, I will lose my fiancé, I will lose the congregation I pastor, I will lose my house, I will lose what passes for my assets, I will lose yet another opportunity to complete my doctorate, I will lose those persons who risked so much in daring to befriend me, and short of being pronounced dead by a physician, will possess all the characteristics of a fresh corpse. I now present to you...my anger anthem.

Improving Modeling Tools to Assess Climate Change Effects on Crop Response

By: Jerry L. Hatfield,David Fleisher

Crop model intercomparison and improvement are required to advance understanding of the impact of future climate change on crop growth and yield. The initial efforts undertaken in the Agriculture Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) led to several observations where crop models were not adequately simulating growth and development. These studies revealed where enhanced efforts should be undertaken in experimental data to quantify the carbon dioxide × temperature × water interactions in plant growth and yield. International leaders in this area held a symposium at the 2013 ASA, CSSA, and SSSA Annual Meeting to discuss this topic. This volume in the Advances in Agricultural Systems Modeling series presents experimental observations across crops and simulation modeling outcomes and addresses future challenges in improving crop simulation models. IN PRESS! This book is being published according to the “Just Published” model, with more chapters to be published online as they are completed.

Articular Cartilage

By: Kyriacos A. Athanasiou,Eric M. Darling,Jerry C. Hu,Grayson D. DuRaine,A. Hari Reddi

Well-known for their inability to heal, articular cartilage injuries often degenerate inexorably to disastrous impairment. Multitudes of treatments have been devised for this problem, but no satisfactory long-term solutions have been established. Written by world-class experts, Articular Cartilage covers the latest research and advancements related to biology, development, pathology, clinical applications, and tissue engineering. This book is useful for rheumatologists, orthopaedic surgeons, cartilage biologists, and cartilage engineers as well as for professionals working in the orthopaedic and other musculoskeletal industries. This book also belongs in the library of primary care physicians, gerontologists, physical therapists, kinesiologists, and chiropractors. Written at a level that allows accessibility to a wide audience, it provides an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses the breadth and depth of basic science, bioengineering, translational science, and detailed methodologic approaches. The authors examine the major events and signaling molecules that lead to development of articular cartilage from precursor cells, and the changes in cartilage as it matures and ages. They focus on the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, and therapeutic approaches for cartilage injury and the major arthritides that affect cartilage and the synovial joints such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. They supply an up-to-date overview of the field of tissue engineering as applied to articular cartilage repair. They examine a number of methods used to assess structure, composition, biology, and biomechanical function. Each chapter contains extensive references to enhance additional study. The book’s comprehensive focus on multiple aspects of articular cartilage sets it apart from other tissue engineering or developmental biology-based books available. It includes important discussions and perspectives on many of the remaining challenges and opportunities in the development and translation of new approaches for treating diseases of articular cartilage. It also provides detailed working protocols for many of the methods used to study articular cartilage, coverage of current treatment options, and business and regulatory aspects of the development of cartilage products. It provides a deeper understanding that will help with the development of new products and clinical applications.

A History of the North Dakota National Guard

By: Jerry Cooper

Unlike most histories of the National Guard, Jerry Cooper?s Citizens as Soldiers: A History of the North Dakota National Guard examines the Guard not merely in its wartime context or in terms of military actions in which it has engaged but also as an integral element in the growth and development of community in the American West. From the Guard's early incarnations as social clubs or lodges, where members dressed in uniform, paraded, and held dances, through its gritty service in the Philippines and beyond, Cooper shows how membership in the Guard and later in the Air National Guard helped forge bonds of local, regional, and national identity.

Clean Energy Nation

Freeing America from the Tyranny of Fossil Fuels

By: Jerry McNerney,Martin Cheek

In the vein of “An Inconvenient Truth,” a sobering assessment of our nation’s energy policies and a stirring call for change. Dangerous CO2 emissions, massive oil spills, dwindling supplies—the problems with fossil fuels are driving a long-overdue reassessment of our nation’s energy policies. U.S. Congressman Jerry McNerney, a renewable energy engineer and the first representative with expertise in energy independence, leads the way to change. In Clean Energy Nation, he and journalist Martin Cheek make an impassioned argument for drastically reducing dependency on fossil fuels and developing sustainable, readily available energy sources—solar, wind, biofuel, geothermal, and hydrogen-based power. Bringing together a rare combination of scientific knowledge, political savvy, and insightful journalism, the authors reveal the pros and cons of alternative energy sources and examine how our nation became addicted to fossil fuels in the first place. The book reads like the dramatic story it is, complete with dire projections about peak oil and grim scenarios of rising oceans...keen insights into policies and players that have stalled progress on climate change and favored big oil...and astute recommendations for building a clean energy economy and a prosperous, stable future.

By: Bill Apter,Jerry ÒThe KingÓ Lawler

The anticipated memoir from a sports entertainment fandom legend As a kid growing up in New York in the late '50s, Bill Apter fell in love with professional wrestling, and it wasn't long before he was rubbing shoulders with the greats as a young reporter and photographer. He's since become the world's best-known wrestling magazine personality, and he's had professional and personal relationships with a who's-who of the business, like Triple H, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Sting, and Ric Flair.

The Terrible Indian Wars of the West

A History from the Whitman Massacre to Wounded Knee, 1846-1890

By: Jerry Keenan

Expansion! The history of the United States might well be summed up in that single word. The Indian Wars of the American West were a continuation of the struggle that began with the arrival of the first Europeans, and escalated as they advanced across the Appalachians before American independence had been won. This history of the Indian Wars of the Trans-Mississippi begins with the earliest clashes between Native Americans and Anglo-European settlers. The author provides a comprehensive narrative of the conflict in eight parts, covering eight geographical regions--the Pacific Northwest; California and Nevada; New Mexico, the Central Plains, the Southern Plains; Iowa, Minnesota and the Northern Plains; the Intermountain West, and the Desert Southwest--with an epilogue on Wounded Knee.

Encyclopedia of Television Film Directors

By: Jerry Roberts

From live productions of the 1950s like Requiem for a Heavyweight to big budget mini-series like Band of Brothers, long-form television programs have been helmed by some of the most creative and accomplished names in directing. Encyclopedia of Television Film Directors brings attention to the directors of these productions, citing every director of stand alone long-form television programs: made for TV movies, movie-length pilots, mini-series, and feature-length anthology programs, as well as drama, comedy, and musical specials of more than 60 minutes. Each of the nearly 2,000 entries provides a brief career sketch of the director, his or her notable works, awards, and a filmography. Many entries also provide brief discussions of key shows, movies, and other productions. Appendixes include Emmy Awards, DGA Awards, and other accolades, as well as a list of anthology programs. A much-needed reference that celebrates these often-neglected artists, Encyclopedia of Television Film Directors is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the history of the medium.

Accounting

Tools for Business Decision Makers

By: Paul D. Kimmel,Jerry J. Weygandt,Donald E. Kieso

With this fourth edition, accountants will acquire a practical set of tools and the confidence they need to use them effectively in making business decisions. It better reflects a more conceptual and decision-making approach to the material. The authors follow a "macro- to micro-" strategy by starting with a discussion of real financial statements first, rather than starting with the Accounting Cycle. The objective is to establish how a financial statement communicates the financing, investing, and operating activities of a business to users of accounting information. This motivates accountants by grounding the discussion in the real world, showing them the relevance of the topics covered to their careers.

Ebook: Auditing & Assurance Services

By: Timothy Louwers,Robert Ramsay,David Sinason,Jerry Strawser,Jay Thibodeau

Auditors are trained to investigate beyond appearances to determine the underlying facts—in other words, to look beneath the surface. The recent financial crisis has made this skill even more crucial to the business community. As a result of this recent crisis and of the financial statement accounting scandals that occurred at the turn of the century, understanding the auditor’s responsibility related to fraud, maintaining a clear perspective, probing for details, and understanding the big picture are indispensable to effective auditing. The author team of Louwers, Ramsay, Sinason, Strawser, and Thibodeau has dedicated years of experience in the auditing field to this new edition of Auditing & Assurance Services, supplying the necessary investigative tools for future auditors.

Crazy Rich

Power, Scandal, and Tragedy Inside the Johnson & Johnson Dynasty

By: Jerry Oppenheimer

From the founders of the international health-care behemoth Johnson & Johnson in the late 1800s to the contemporary Johnsons of today, such as billionaire New York Jets owner Robert Wood "Woody" Johnson IV, all is revealed in this unauthorized biography. Often compared to the Kennedy clan because of the tragedies and scandals that had befallen both wealthy and powerful families, This book, based on scores of exclusive, candid, on-the-record interviews, reveals how the dynasty's vast fortune was both intoxicating and toxic through the generations of a family that gave the world Band-Aids and Baby Oil. At the same time, they have been termed perhaps the most dysfunctional family in the Fortune 500.
