Turfgrass Insects of the United States and Canada

By: Patricia J. Vittum

The first edition of this reference work became known as the bible of turfgrass entomology upon publication in 1987. It has proved invaluable to professional entomologists, commercial turf managers, and golf course superintendents and has been used widely in college extension courses. This classic of the field is now in its third edition, providing up-to-date and complete coverage of turfgrass pests in the continental United States, Hawaii, and southern Canada. This revised volume integrates all relevant research from the previous two decades. It provides expanded coverage of several pest species, including the annual bluegrass weevil, invasive crane fly species, chinch bugs, billbugs, mole crickets, and white grubs. Patricia J. Vittum also provides detailed information on the biology and ecology of all major pests and includes the most current information on conditions that favor insect development and biological control strategies pertinent to each species. This edition will include more than 100 black-and-white images, including diagrams of life cycles, sketches of morphological characteristics, and charts highlighting seasonal activity. The book also includes 72 full-color plates (more than 500 color images), showing closeup pictures of most of the key insects (adult and immature stages) and damaged turf. The reader should be able to identify most turf insects through the use of this text. It is a critical reference work that any serious turf professional should own.

Betting on the Farm

Institutional Change in Japanese Agriculture

By: Patricia L. Maclachlan,Kay Shimizu

Japan Agricultural Cooperatives (JA), a nationwide network of farm cooperatives, is under increasing pressure to expand farmer incomes by adapting coop strategies to changing market incentives. Some coops have adapted more successfully than others. In Betting on the Farm, Patricia L. Maclachlan and Kay Shimizu attribute these differences to three sets of local variables: resource endowments and product-specific market conditions, coop leadership, and the organization of farmer-members behind new coop strategies. Using in-depth case studies and profiles of different types of farmers, Betting on the Farm also explores the evolution of the formal and informal institutional foundations of postwar agriculture; the electoral sources of JA's influence; the interactive effects of economic liberalization and demographic pressures (an aging farm population and acute shortage of farm successors) on the propensity for change within the farm sector; and the diversification of Japan's traditional farm households and the implications for farmer ties with JA.

An Angel Whispered

The Wisdom and Practice of Happiness

By: Patricia Tashiro

An Angel Whispered combines heavenly wisdom with down-to-earth advice in this inspiring guide on happiness. An angel reveals the elusive but yet simple equation for happiness: 'Peace of Mind' + 'Love in Your Heart' = 'Happiness'. But how can our minds be peaceful when the world is filled with so much pain, suffering, and injustice? And how can our hearts love in the face of hatred, anger, or indifference? An Angel Whispered answers the questions that weigh on our minds and shows us how to enable our hearts to love again. It explores new ways of thinking about who we are, why we are here, and why things happen. This allows us to accept the things we cannot change while empowering us to make a difference. As we do this, we not only learn how to create happiness within ourselves but we also become angels, by spreading happiness throughout the world.

Biocultural Perspectives

Breastfeeding

Biocultural Perspectives

By: Patricia Stuart-Macadam

Breastfeeding is a biocultural phenomenon: not only is it a biological process, but it is also a culturally determined behavior. As such, it has important implications for understanding the past, present, and future condition of our species. In general, scholars have emphasized either the biological or the cultural aspects of breastfeeding, but not both. As biological anthropologists the editors of this volume feel that an evolutionary approach combining both aspects is essential. One of the goals of their book is to incorporate data from diverse fields to present a more holistic view of breastfeeding, through the inclusion of research from a number of different disciplines, including biological and social/cultural anthropology, nutrition, and medicine. The resulting book, presenting the complexity of the issues surrounding very basic decisions about infant nutrition, will fill a void in the existing literature on breastfeeding.
