The Yellow Field

Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
The cantankerous and contemplative main character, Clem Everett, living out his later years on a rural plot of land in the Wet Mountains of Colorado, finds the chickens of his life coming home to roost as he is faced with the bills piling up, a mounting sense of loneliness, estrangement from society and the way it has moved on, regrets about lost love, and a mounting dread over his increasing inability to connect the dots that no longer seem to be lining up. This novel is a character study of a man every bit as endangered and fragile and beautifully complex as the contemporary American Southwest he inhabits. "The main character, Clem, yields a mental and physical landscape beautifully, which Burg renders to the reader in prose and prose-poetry. The philosophical and practical are combined in a language that is both colloquial and complex. The metaphysical is laid out in simple yet universal language. The attention to detail is superb. Clem the dogs, the horse, neighbors, townspeople and his lost love Rainey form a universe, summed up by the Yellow Field.. The novel is brilliantly written with an ending that is beautifully written . . . gripping, riveting. The ideas of time and space, shadow and light, fate and will, heaven and hell are handled with rare genius. The essence of the book is the sense of wonder, history, landscape, and spirituality that is embedded in Clem. At the same time, there is a sense of Clem as a tragic figure who is constantly flirting with survival." -Tony Moffeit _______________________________________________________________________________ About The Author Peter Edward Burg is a writer of prose, poetry, songs, plays, and is a musician. He was raised in Southern California. A graduate of University of Colorado at Pueblo and resides in Rye, Colorado.

Technical Analysis: The Scientific Approach
Author: Michael Hass
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 8743016251
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
This is a detailed and data-based book showing you tried and tested methods that actually work to allow you to grow your investment portfolio, in good times and in bad. This book is not just about anecdotal ideas that occasionally work. The methods contained within this book have been tested over years of data and the results are shown. The book also contains the recipe for making that kind of data-based analysis yourself. No more costly guesswork... This is the last book on Technical Analysis you'll ever need. "Michael has shown empirical proof of the value of patterns in the markets. Anyone who has ever used an Excel sheet will definitely love this book, as well as for other reasons. This book is easy to endorse, and we should thank him for bringing this research to our attention." - Larry Pesavento, Trade What You See, Tucson, Arizona "To really understand the financial markets, it is my view that Technical Analysis has to be included in the picture. It has always been an important tool for me." - Lars Tvede, Zug, Switzerland "Super exciting reading if you are interested in investing, both for the beginner as well as for the experienced investor. The scientific approach to the development of an investment system is very fascinating and you feel a commitment beyond the usual by the author. No doubt that when a system has to be calculated with all possible variables in order to see the consequences of them, we have here to do with something that is most thoroughly tested. This applies to both the testing of movements and the choice of the asset to be invested in. Furthermore, the author's review of his emotions in connection with his ongoing development with the investments in the market is very relevant as it is often the biggest enemy of the investor. Further, the adding on methodology described in chapter 7 alone pays for this book" - Peter Henriksen, Mijas-Costa, Spain This book is not like any other books about Technical Analysis and about making money trading. Other books tend to feature more theories than data, are more anecdotal than fact-based and they often leave the readers with more questions than answers. In this book, several methods of trading are tested on real data over months and years, so you can really see what works and what doesn't work is not only performed on historical data. The methods are fully explained, and shown in detail. After reading this book, you will be able to test your own ideas.

Sensory Systems of Animals
Author: Mark Hollins
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1040117589
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
Perception in animals is a fascinating and challenging subject that calls to students from many disciplines. The aim of this book is to provide a knowledge base and unifying perspective on the field that will enable beginning researchers to chart their own course within it. The author describes, in a systematic but engaging way, the sensory systems of humans and other vertebrates, as well as arthropods and molluscs. Why is it important to understand the senses of animals? One reason is that human activities are changing the perceptual world of animals in ways that expose them to danger. From bright outdoor lighting disorienting migrating birds to human sonar driving whales to beach themselves; it is becoming increasingly important to find ways to reduce such dangers. This will require big changes in human behavior, and greater understanding of how animals react, physiologically and behaviorally, to anthropogenic changes in their environment. The emphasis throughout is on research, in both the behavioral/ethological and neuroscientific traditions, that has led to important discoveries. The functional anatomy of each system, from receptor cells to brain areas, is succinctly described, explaining how it underlies the animal’s sensory abilities and behavior. Overall descriptions of a sense for a class of animals (for example, hearing in arachnids) are interspersed with expanded coverage of that sense in a particular animal, such as the ogre-faced web-casting spider that does a backflip to capture an insect buzzing overhead. Evolutionary themes are found throughout the book, for example in describing the development of the vertebrate ear, and in the convergent evolution of the eyes of vertebrates and cephalopods. With over 500 references and 80 illustrations, this textbook is primary reading intended for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students of veterinary science, lab animal science, and zoology. It would also be of great interest to professionals and academics working with animals such as veterinary professionals and zookeepers.
