50 Years of Service Through Wood Research, 1910-1960 (Classic Reprint) by United States Department Of Agriculture Pdf

Excerpt from 50 Years of Service Through Wood Research, 1910-1960 Those were pioneers of a different breed, men with ideas, explorers with crude testing equipment - watering trough, ruler, and simple scales - instead of undisciplined ax and saw. Ahead they set a goal. Though charting a new course, they knew where they were, where they wanted to go, and set a pattern to reach the goal. They shaped the tools to alter a people's way of thinking about forests and wood, from that of waste to wise use. It was an enormous task ahead, and dimly seen. The fruit from that beginning, though, nurtured through the years by other dedicated wood scientists, has grown to touch the life of each citizen in this country. It has changed the face and the fortune of a nation. Now, 50 years later, the Laboratory stands a living, serving tribute to those who led the way. Now, world known and the model for similar efforts in other lands, it stands, helping a fast-growing, ever-changing Nation meet and master its economic future.

Experiencing Wages by Peter Scholliers,L. D. Schwarz Pdf

European and Canadian contributors from the distinct but related fields of wage and labor history offer different perspectives on the fundamental question of how people were paid for their work. They do not provide a balanced survey either geographically or temporally for example only two of the 11 studies extend earlier than the 18th century but r

The Encyclopedia of New York State by Peter Eisenstadt Pdf

The Encyclopedia of New York State is one of the most complete works on the Empire State to be published in a half-century. In nearly 2,000 pages and 4,000 signed entries, this single volume captures the impressive complexity of New York State as a historic crossroads of people and ideas, as a cradle of abolitionism and feminism, and as an apex of modern urban, suburban, and rural life. The Encyclopedia is packed with fascinating details from fields ranging from sociology and geography to history. Did you know that Manhattan's Lower East Side was once the most populated neighborhood in the world, but Hamilton County in the Adirondacks is the least densely populated county east of the Mississippi; New York is the only state to border both the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean; the Erie Canal opened New York City to rich farmland upstate . . . and to the west. Entries by experts chronicle New York's varied areas, politics, and persuasions with a cornucopia of subjects from environmentalism to higher education to railroads, weaving the state's diverse regions and peoples into one idea of New York State. Lavishly illustrated with 500 photographs and figures, 120 maps, and 140 tables, the Encyclopedia is key to understanding the state's past, present, and future. It is a crucial reference for students, teachers, historians, and business people, for New Yorkers of all persuasions, and for anyone interested in finding out more about New York State.

The Forests Handbook, Volume 2 by Julian Evans Pdf

The future of the world's forests is at the forefront of environmental debate. Rising concerns over the effects of deforestation and climate change are highlighting the need both to conserve and manage existing forests and woodland through sustainable forestry practices. The Forests Handbook, written by an international team of both scientists and practitioners, presents an integrated approach to forests and forestry, applying our present understanding of forest science to management practices, as a basis for achieving sustainability. Volume One presents an overview of the world's forests; their locations and what they are like, the science of how they operate as complex ecosystems and how they interact with their environment. Volume Two applies this science to reality; it focuses on forestry interventions and their impact, the principles governing how to protect forests and on how we can better harness the enormous benefits forests offer. Case studies are drawn from several different countries and are used to illustrate the key points. Development specialists, forest managers and those involved with land and land-use will find this handbook a valuable and comprehensive overview of forest science and forestry practice. Researchers and students of forestry, biology, ecology and geography will find it equally accessible and useful.

The American Disease by David F. Musto Pdf

The American Disease is a classic study of the development of drug laws in the United States. Supporting the theory that Americans' attitudes toward drugs have followed a cyclic pattern of tolerance and restraint, author David F. Musto examines the relationz between public outcry and the creation of prohibitive drug laws from the end of the Civil War up to the present. Originally published in 1973, and then in an expanded edition in 1987, this third edition contains a new chapter and preface that both address the renewed debate on policy and drug legislation from the end of the Reagan administration to the current Clinton administration. Here, Musto thoroughly investigates how our nation has dealt with such issues as the controversies over prevention programs and mandatory minimum sentencing, the catastrophe of the crack epidemic, the fear of a heroin revival, and the continued debate over the legalization of marijuana.
