Book Description
Individuals, groups, and organizations find themselves in a process of continual change, transformation, and growth. The author suggests that all people—whether as individuals or in groups—experience the same archetypal process of development, which consists of seven steps. Using practical examples, she describes how to recognize these steps, or phases, in individuals, in relationships and groups, and even in commercial and voluntary organizations. Knowledge of the various steps provides clarity and vision and helps us prepare for the sorts of challenges and rewards.
In addition to the outer aspects of these processes, there is also an inner aspect. The author shows that the process of growth through the seven phases is essentially a process of spiritual development. Spirit manifests in human beings and determines the meaning and direction of our lives, providing motivation for change and direction. These impulses also work in groups and organizations, and understanding them gives us greater insight.
Van den Brink's approach offers a refreshing, new, and dynamic way forward in contrast to the rationalistic methods of most mainstream consultants and personal development.

Transforming People and Organizations.......2004-11-24
I found the book to be marginally helpful in understanding and examination of the subject of transforming organizations through "spiritual development." The author's treatment of this subject starts rightly so with the individual dimension, then on to organizational development, but the book gets too attached to the "phases"(i.e. where people/organizations are described to be). I was looking for more of the roadmap/transformation toward a deeper, more practical understanding of this subject. I think the author recognizes the need to field test ideas, and that is to her credit. The matter of enlightened leadership and the role of employees in mutual ownership of the mission/vision and values of those organizations could have been developed more. "Commercial and Ideal-based" organizations (for profit and not-for-profit) have the same issues, just wrapped differently. In this regard, the last page was confusing, in putting forth an analogy of commercial organizations following the development road of the man, and the ideal-based organization, the development road of the female. Addressing and discussing spiritual dimension of organization, by definition, leads us to commonality and congruence of effort and shared vision no matter the positions people occupy.

Book Description
This book focuses on the dynamical processes influencing the structure of coral communities, some of the most biologically diverse communities on earth. A variety of biological and physical processes operating across an enormous range of spatiotemporal scales are highlighted (e.g., niche partitioning, biological interactions, disturbance phenomena, large-scale tectonic, eustatic, climatic, and oceanographic processes). The focus on the community provides a framework for presenting some of the best examples from the literature using multiple taxonomic groups (e.g., corals, fishes, encrusting invertebrates).

Book Description
This classic book reprint has become the most widely cited fisheries book ever published. Still containing current information, this book should appear on the shelves of all fisheries scientists throughout the world.
Book Description
Quantitative Fish Stocks Assessment is the first textbook to capture the spirit of the "new fisheries management", in that it is driven by a recognition of the dynamic nature of fish populations and the application of computers and systems analysis to fisheries problems. It contains detailed numerical methods for parameter estimation, confidence bounds, and the formulation of harvesting strategies. The book builds upon the three themes in the subtitle. Choice refers to alternative management actions and alternative models. Dynamics reviews basic concepts of ecology and the interactions between fish and fishermen, as the latter respond to biological variability and to economic opportunity and regulation. Uncertainty describes the all-pervasive feature of fish stocks assessment. This text, written by two highly respected authorities in the field, should also become a standard reference in the area for professionals. It is clearly written at the level accessible to senior undergraduates and is easily understandable without advanced calculus and linear algebra. A diskette including relevant programs is also included with this book.
Customer Reviews:
The book to have if you work with fish.......2000-04-19
If you ask anyone who deals with fisheries management, they recommend this book. It's thorough, readable even by those of us who don't have have advanced math degrees, and focuses on the practical consequences of guessing how many fish there really are in the sea. If you want to know what's behind the curtain when managers declare how many fish you can catch, this is the book to read.

Book Description
The culmination of over a decade's worth of research by the Pond Dynamics/Aquaculture Collaborative Research Support Program (CRSP), Dynamics of Pond Aquaculture not only explains the physical, chemical, and biological processes that interact in pond culture systems, but also presents real-world research findings and considers the people who depend on these systems. This book uses data from CRSP field research sites in East Africa, Southeast Asia, Central America, and North America to present a complete picture of the pond system and the environment in which it exists. A thorough study of the principles and practices of aquaculture, the book reflects the state of the art in pond aquaculture and incorporates recent advances that have changed the science in the last decade or so. It provides a thorough review of the many methods, techniques, and ideas that comprise this complex and fascinating area of study.
Book Description
Use this atlas of more than 600 full-color photos and micrographs in your biology lab sections--and recall later what you saw. Cover up the photo labels for an effective study and review tool.

helpful atlas.......2006-04-01
I bought this at Amazon.com from an Awesome Deal I found on DailyTool.com. I got the book for only $5. This atlas has pictures for plant biology nad animail biology. Since it covers both plant and animal, it doesn't have too much pictures for each topic. But it's still a great atlas. I will keep it after my class is over.
Makes you really remember what things look like.......2004-11-15
I am professor who will recommend this book to my lab students next semester. It is hard to remember what things actually look like from the diagrams in the lab book and this book has excellent photos of what slides and dissections actually look like. I think it will be very useful to all bio lab students.
Lab is over, it is now test time........2001-04-22
Did you decide today was the day you would skip lab because you had another test to study for or somewhere else to be? However, only to return to lab the next week to discover you missed two hours of slides that were going to be on the next exam? This book is your answer. It has the most accurate depictions of exactly what you missed. Biology majors this book is for you!

I felt A Photographic Atlas for the Biology Laboratory 5th edition in use very good. I obtain much biology knowledge
especially in color pictures. It can help me to remember.
A MUST FOR THE BIOLOGY CLASSROOM!!!.......2001-07-28
In my over 20 years of teaching HS Biology, I have never come across a more useful and complete reference. The illustrations are excellent and the use of labeled photographs is just the thing to verify classroom and laboratory observations. This book will be an extremely useful and used book to any biologist, biology teacher and biology student.
