Book Description

The current popularity of the rainfall-runoff model Topmodel is a direct result of the widespread availability of catchment GIS systems and particularly of digital terrain maps. Water flows downhill, therefore topography must be hydrologically significant, therefore how can the digital terrain data be used in hydrological modelling to improve the realism of the predictions? There are not many choices available: Topmodel is one of them but the concepts on which it is based will not be applicable everywhere (see some of the papers in this volume). Indeed, one of the most important aspects of the use of Topmodel is the possibility of mapping the simulations back into space so that the distributed predictions can be compared with field observations. The experiences reported here in applications from around the world represent an excellent summary of the success and limitations of the concepts in a wide variety of environments. Topmodel was never intended to be a fixed model structure but rather a set of concepts that could be modified if required. As such it is important that the experiences of other uses can be gathered together and passed on.

Hasn't arrived.......2007-09-14

I would dearly like to review this book, but it hasn't arrived. Although Amazon's Where's My Stuff page said that there is no outstanding orders, the time estimate said it should arrive (New Zealand) between 4 Sept - 14 Sept, so I waited. The shipment was sent 14 August. I have requested assistance through Support, but haven't heard at all from Amazon. Generally, I have found Amazon very prompt, and delivery (International Standard) very good - about 2- 3 weeks. I hope that I will hear soon. Better, I'd like to post a more positive review for this book (and the other that was shipped with it).

The Scarlet Letter........2007-02-02

The book is okay until Chapter 17: Bias Free Writing.

I'm not certain if it's a sermon from the Gospel of Political Correctness, or an excuse for the authors to be scolds. And they have a problem with every form of group affiliation. The Special Olympics gets a slap, too. "Special" is now, officially, a hateful word. They suggest you regularly consult with all the different ethnic and social groups to learn what's okay to say.

I'm reminded of an astronomy lecture I attended many years ago. The featured speaker was to talk about his career in astronomy. And he did for much of his presentation. But at the end he digressed to talking about his religious convictions, and the speech became an attack on those who held different beliefs. The president of the astronomy association finally had enough and told the man to shut up and leave.

Much of the book is informative and I learned a few helpful tricks.

But! Guys? Shut up and go away.

Like school? Then maybe you'll like this book........2006-12-10

Even though I finish most books I read, I couldn't get through this one. It was like attending school: bloody boring and filled with exercises. I decided I would go through a chapter a night, but my decision was in vain - after a few nights, I quit. I recommend instead "On Writing Well" by William Zinsser. I couldn't put it down. Also recommended, of course, is "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White.

A Transformational Guide That Can Turn You into an Effective Writer.......2006-11-27

Most people hated writing essays in school. At work, memorandums continue to be a pain to read . . . and an even bigger pain to write.

For the last three years, I've encouraged my graduate students to begin their studies by writing an essay based on Adler's and Van Doren's How to Read a Book. Then, I ask the same students to read The Classic Guide to Better Writing, summarize its key points in 1,000 words, and then write 2,500 words about what they learned about how to improve the last essay they wrote.

After that experience, each student has become an effective writer . . . even though most were not before reading and applying this book.

I don't know of another resource that is nearly as effective for learning how to be an effective writer of essays.

Although it takes time to develop this foundation skill, you'll save much more time in the long run . . . and be much more effective in whatever you do if you read and apply Dr. Flesch's classic.

Be sure to do the exercises!

Great writing resource.......2004-10-24

I think this book was finely crafted for a work devoted to so mundane a subject as basic writing. The author managed to dredge up from the morass of academia a few gems of useful instruction, all of which were polished and presented in a well organzied and helpful manner. I would wholeheartedly recommend this particular work to the novice writer. And, as it is the only book I have ever read on the subject, I am compelled to declare it the best I have read. As you can see, my writing skills are ten fold what they were before reading this book - and will likely continue to increase as I revisit this worthy work.

Book Description

Computers and new printing technologies have brought significant changes to the world of self-publishing. Unlike what was the case only a decade ago, it is now possible to release a book without printing a full press run and the Internet provides some marketing opportunities that were not available a few years ago. This means that a book can now be published for a very modest fee, and that warehousing costs are a thing of the past. If you are thinking about self-publishing, then this book will provide you with a quick overview of everything you need to know in order to have your book released. And, it will help you decide whether or not self-publishing is really the best thing for your book.

One of the things this book does not attempt to do is tell you that self-publishing is for everyone. Unlike most books on the subject, this one does try to present an accurate portrayal of the advantages and disadvantages of self-publishing, something that is critical if you want to avoid a painful disappointment.

A no nonsense approach to POD publishing. Highly reccommend it. Read this book before hooking up with a POD company. You'll save yourself alot of aggravation and money.(...).

Book has no Index!.......2005-03-15

"The Clearly Confusing World of Self-Publishing & POD just got more confusing without an Index - a "Table of Contents" may save the author money, but there's no substitute for a good index. .

Helpful.......2004-06-03

I'll be honest, I've not yet read this book, but I have read the author's guide to POD on her website, which is part of the content of this book. It is the clearest guide to POD I have ever ventured across in all of my internet research, so I can only imagine this book would be even more helpful. Finally, someone to line up all of the pros and cons in one place, and to be honset about POD.

Self-publishing: yes or no?.......2003-05-25

If you want to know how you can have your book published, this is the book for you. It presents its ideas in plain English and is up to date in its information.
The author's honest and realistic approach to the process is a refreshing change from the many other books on the subject. She doesn't try to make you believe that self-publishing is the only way to go, but rather presents the pros and cons in a balanced fashion making the decision of releasing your book or not, an informed one. What is certain is that the chapter on how to self-edit your manuscript will save you many headaches, a lot of research, and quite a bit of money.

Not as confused now.......2003-04-25

Thanks for the best description of the advantages and disadvantages of print on demand that I have seen. I enjoyed the personal and unbiased account of your experiences. This book and the website have helped me considerably in making decisons about print on demand.
