        Methods in Agricultural Chemical Analysis

        A Practical Handbook

        by Nigel T Faithfull

        This reference manual contains information on the most suitable procedures for the analysis of agricultural materials. It describes the analysis of soils and composts, plant materials, feeds, plant components (e.g. cellulose, lignin, trace elements), fertilizers, and biological substances. The book is designed as a laboratory sourcebook, complete with useful Internet addresses, and contains over 60 different practical methods. Each method is described by a step-by-step approach, and contains details of apparatus required, chemical reaction equations, formulae and calculations, and meticulous descriptions of experimental results. Most methods use standard equipment and instruments commonly found in the practical lab. The aim is that scientists with little experience in analytical techniques should be able to safely carry out these procedures and obtain acceptable results.

        Experimental British television

        by Martin Hargreaves

        Throughout its history, British television has found a place, if only in its margins, for programmes that consciously worked to expand the boundaries of television aesthetics. Even in the present climate of increased academic interest in television history, its experimental tradition has generally either been approached generically or been lost within the assumption that television is simply a mass medium. Avaible for the first time in paperback, Experimental British television uncovers the history of experimental television, bringing back forgotten programmes in addition to looking at relatively more privileged artists or programme strands from fresh perspectives. The book therefore goes against the grain of dominant television studies, which tends to place the medium within the flow of the 'everyday', in order to scrutinise those productions that attempted to make more serious interventions within the medium.

        Quantifying Diets of Wildlife and Fish

        Practical and Applied Methods

        by Michael Calver, Neil Loneragan

        Quantifying Diets of Wildlife and Fish presents different techniques available to study animal diets. Ecologists determine animal diets to build natural history knowledge, test hypotheses in ecological theory and make informed management decisions for important ecosystems. Many researchers use techniques traditionally applied to the animals they study, rather than choose from the techniques with greatest potential for their study. In an effort to encourage researchers to consider new approaches, this book focuses on the techniques, rather than on particular groups of organisms or specific environments. With contributions from leading ecologists, chapters explore experimental design, observational techniques (including new technologies), stomach contents and faecal analysis, eDNA, tracers and stable isotopes. They also cover the latest multivariate methods of analyses suitable for describing animal diets and feeding relationships, as well as testing hypotheses relevant to ecological theory, environmental management and biological conservation. The expert knowledge provided will encourage readers to look beyond the boundaries of their specialties, assist in testing important hypotheses and provide insights into management problems. The examples in this book cover a range of vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as different environments, to open these methods up for novice ecologists and stimulate lateral thinking in more experienced researchers.

        Inquiry Based Stress Reduction (IBSR) in Practice - How to Use “the Work” of Byron Katie in Psychotherapy and Coaching.

        Manual for Clinical Practice

        by Marie Odiel van Rhijn, Esther Leuning

        Inquiry Based Stress Reduction is the name of the method which was developed by Byron Katie as ‘the Work’. Byron Katie is the author of very well-known self-help books. However, until now there was no manual available which explains the application of this method and the methodological and scientific evidence which can be given to support it. This book provides a comprehensive and exhaustive overview of how the method can be used by therapists in psychotherapeutic settings in mental health care, business coaches and coaches in other fields of life. As well as providing an extremely precise description of the working method for each step of the protocol, all these steps are clarified by means of practical examples and case studies. Target Group: psychologists, therapists and coaches.

        Intoduction to Affect Phobia Therapy

        by Dr. Quin van Dam

        A fear of one’s own emotions can lead people to develop what has been termed emotion- or affect phobia. To deal with this specific kind of phobia, Affect Phobia Therapy (APT) has proven to be useful. In APT, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and experimental techniques are combined to help the patient to learn to accept and manage emotions again. Research shows that especially people suffering from anxiety or depression and people with avoidant or dependent personality disorders benefit from this method. This book offers a practical explanation of this evidence-based therapeutic method. The eight chapters focus on all different aspects of APT and the underlying theoretical concepts are illustrated with example patient-therapist dialogues.   Target Group: psychologists, psychotherapists, students

        Jiu-Jitsu brésilien – Techniques de base et avancées

        by Fabio Duca Gurgel do Amaral

        Jiu-Jitsu brésilien – Techniques de base et avancées Par Fabio Duca Gurgel do Amaral Le jiu-jitsu, qui signifie littéralement « l’art doux », est une forme populaire d’autodéfense qui ne repose pas nécessairement sur la force physique et sur la puissance. Fabio Gurgel, sept fois champion du monde, nous présente une série complète en deux volumes (Techniques de base et Techniques avancées) qui introduit la simplicité dans les mouvements complexes de cet art martial, lorsqu’il nous révèle étape par étape les secrets du Jiu-Jitsu. Ces livres sont pleinement illustrés et simplifient les expressions techniques de la forme artistique, de façon à permettre à chaque étudiant d’apprendre et de s’améliorer. Au départ, le jiu-jitsu avait été développé pour les samurai, d’anciens guerriers qui n’avaient que peu d’armure, ou pas du tout, pour se défendre contre un ennemi plus puissant et mieux armé. Ainsi, le jiu-jitsu est le père des arts martiaux japonais, y compris le judo et l’aïkido, et il a influencé le karaté et d’autres styles d’arts martiaux. Il utilise des techniques de coups, de prises, de clés, de projections et d’esquives. Du point de vue mental, le jiu-jitsu enseigne la confiance en soi, accroît l’estime de soi-même, relâche le stress et augmente les facultés de concentration. Le jiu-jitsu emploie la physique et la science par les applications des moments et la connaissance de l’anatomie humaine pour venir à bout de tout agresseur en utilisant aussi peu d’effort et de force physique que possible. Le jiu-jitsu brésilien diffère du jiu-jitsu traditionnel par le fait qu’il a été développé dans un environnement et des lieux différents en réponse à des besoins différents. Cela a occasionné le développement de techniques supplémentaires qui correspondent mieux au combat sur le terrain et certaines nécessités appropriées pour affronter la violence dans la vie moderne. Aujourd’hui, le jiu-jitsu brésilien est réputé pour son excellent combat sur le terrain, le haut niveau de ses compétitions et de ses athlètes, ainsi que pour ses tactiques de pensée et de manœuvres. Sept fois champion du monde, Fabio Duca Gurgel do Amaral a commencé à pratiquer le jiu-jitsu à l’âge de 13 ans et a reçu sa ceinture noire à l’âge de 19 ans. Avec son maître, Romero Jacaré, il a fondé l’équipe Alliance Team, deux fois champion du monde, avec 40 académies à travers le monde – du Venezuela jusqu’à New York, et de la Finlande à l’Allemagne. Gurgel continue à enseigner dans sa propre académie à São Paulo et organise des séminaires à travers le monde. Il est le président de la Ligue Professionnelle du Jiu-jitsu. L'édition en anglais pour l'Amérique du Nord a été publiée en septembre 2008. L'édition tchèque a été publiée en septembre 2009. 176 pages ; 16.5 x 24 cm.
