Park Ranger Guide to Seashores: Discover Sea Life Along the Coasts' Marches, Bays, and Beaches (Park Ranger Series)

Book Description

The presence of toxic organic and inorganic substances in rivers and oceanic sediments is in part due to man-made pollution. Their monitoring by chemical analysis of oceanic, estuarine, and river sediments or of organisms living in the respective ecosystems are of utmost importance. The purpose of this book is to provide the chemist with all available information for the rapid development and proper carrying out of these methods of analysis. Crompton's book is the first book which covers all kinds of samples including living organisms.

From the author: Federal water policy encompasses both investment in capital improvement projects and resource development, and environmental protection and preservation, resulting in continuing tension. Partly as a consequence we have reached an impasse in national water policy without achieving the 35-year-old goal of "fishable and swimmable" surface waters or addressing the potential effect of rising sea levels. Making federal monies for Corps of Engineers projects, highways, and agricultural programs available only on the condition that states receiving funds have comprehensive land and water plans in place could help the nation achieve these important tasks.

Book Description

This edition reprints the text of Pope's classic poem — both the five-canto 1714 version and the facsimilie of the original 1712 version — together with a broad selection of documents. Including correspondence, poems, broadsides, reviews, and parodies, the documents focus special attention on Pope's life and career as well as on eighteenth-century poetic traditions and innovations, social habits and assumptions, historical events, and political implications. A general introduction providing historical and cultural background, a chronology of Pope's life and times, an introduction to each thematic group of documents, headnotes, extensive annotations, a selected bibliography, and a generous collection of maps, portraits, and illustrations make this volume a unique scholarly edition of this classic work of eighteenth-century literature.

Customer Reviews:

The way literature should be done!.......2004-06-10

This review should be taken seriously considering I didn't really like "The Rape of the Lock" and still give this book 5 stars!

"History is not a vacuum," one of my university history professors always told us. Neither is literature for that matter! This book examines the mock-epic poem "Rape of the Lock" in its social, literary, and historical contexts. The poem takes up a small portion of the book, and the rest is made up of diary entries, letters, essays, newspapers, etc. that help to explain the culture surrounding Pope. The city of London, clothes, card games, coffee, makeup, social norms, and countless other things are discussed in very readable and enjoyable ways in order to make "The Rape of the Lock" truly come alive.

The ultimate "mock epic".......2003-08-06

This poem serves two purposes. First, Pope wrote it in response to an upper-class quarrel over an event at a party in which a young girl had her hair cut. The incident itself was petty and stupid, but the families of the parties involved were taking it very seriously. Pope, then, wrote this poem in epic form (the most grand of poetic forms) to show the absurdity of the matter, and thus reconcile the offender and offended.

That is the first function of this poem. Even though the incident is long forgotten, the poem is still very funny. But there is a greater purpose to this poem--it was written like an epic. It contains several epic elements--an epic battle (at the card game), the invocation of muses and gods, the epic quest (to cut the hair), and several literary devices, such as epic-length similes and catalogs. This is what makes this poem so great, and what serves as a testimony to Pope's remarkable genius for wit and satire.

Pope was, in my opinion, one of the greatest English poets, certainly the greatest satirist. This is one of his greatest works, and it is short enough to read over and over again without investing too much time.

Brilliantly written with wit, style, and a flair for detail........1998-07-16

This is a highly intelligent book on one of the finest poems by the eighteenth century's most celebrated poet. Brilliantly written with wit, style, and a flair for interesting detail, Wall's book includes textual information and a wealth of carefully selected secondary material that makes this "one-stop shopping" for anyone interested in the work or indeed in the period. Because of its combination of lively writing and scholarly erudition, I would recommend Wall's book for a wide variety of interest and knowledge levels. Wonderful Bedford series idea and terrific book.

Brilliant edition of an immensely witty work!.......2004-07-09

Alexander Pope's faux heroic poem in five cantos is truly a gem! Both hilarious in its elegant language juxtaposed with a "trivial cause," Pope's Rape of the Lock shall remain a beauty of English poetry.

Beyond the poem, this particular edition is, from my experience, one of the better editions on the market. The concise foreword by Peter Ackroyd is well-written and serves as an excellent historical and biographical introduction to the work. There are two other perks to this edition that I'd like to note: one is the inclusion of both the 1712 two canto version as well as the later more complete five canto version. The second is that this edition includes Pope's satirical response to critics' response to his poem; a prose piece entitled A Key to the Lock which is very much worth reading.

The only other edition that I would recommend is a more scholarly composite: the Bedford Cultural Edition (ISBN: 0-312-11569-5). This edition includes a complete cultural and historical background along with the complete text (including the original version). Beyond that, this edition includes many cultural contexts: "The Poetic World," "The Social World," and "The Political World." This is the complete scholar's edition.

THE BEST POPE VOLUME ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-10-02

First off, WHY THE HELL IS THIS THE FIRST REVIEW ON SUCH A VOLUME AS IMPRESSIVE AS THIS!?!?!? Alexander Pope was definatley in the top five of greatest English poets (Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Pope, Wordsworth) and to read his works is like sipping a glass of fine wine, wearing a cool powdered wig, lying back on a sofa listening to Handel. Pope was the coolest hepcat in the hood. He was so great, an age was named after him in 18th century English literature-THE AGE OF POPE (1712-1744)-roughly

But, getting to the point, this is a very comprehensive volume of Pope's prime work. Of course, it's Signet-the best reasonably priced books you can buy. Not only does this great volume contain the complete 5 canto version of The Rape of the Lock (1712-1717), the Essay on Man (1734), Essay on Criticism (1711), The Dunciad (1728) and many more of his brilliant verse satire, the finest of the Neoclassical period (1660-1784).
