To conserve our natural assets―our green infrastructure―we need to map them, and plan for their protection. Every day, decisions about land development are made―often without consideration to the natural features and functions already there. The placement of housing on rich soil, paving over aquifer recharge zones, or disconnecting wildlife corridors are mistakes easily avoided if we start to consider our natural elements as part of our infrastructure.  Green Infrastructure: Map and Plan the Natural World with GIS describes the why and how of green infrastructure (GI) mapping and implementation through text, maps, and online illustrations. It explains how to utilize the national model that Esri has built using Green Infrastructure Center's methodology. This six-step process provides a framework for thinking strategically about GI planning and details how to set goals to inform GI maps in order to meet real needs on the ground. Using actual data to create two case studies, this book shows how the Esri model and data from the Esri Living Atlas can be adapted using local data to create a custom GI plan.  With a green infrastructure strategy, communities can work to preserve and connect open spaces, watersheds, wildlife habitats, parks, and other critical landscapes. Green Infrastructure: Map and Plan the Natural World with GIS explains how to protect and foster a connected, resilient, and biologically diverse landscape for sustainable growth.

In World War II, members of the Special Service companies were combat soldiers by day and in the evenings presented stage shows and movies to entertain and build the morale of the troops. Eddie Fuller and Tyler Carpenter were successful Broadway actors drafted to serve their country. Their theatre productions were among the best received in the service.... Eddie and Ty were like thousands of other patriotic, dedicated GIs in war-torn Europe, except when they came across the English Channel, they also came across with two sailors in the stern of the ship.... The horrors of war, the rigors of military life, the strains and romps of being gay soldiers, the show biz highlife and GI lowlife make this an historic account you will never forget.

Learn GIS using free software. The book is based off a 2 day seminar course that taught thousands of laymen to use GIS. It covers the basics of GIS, gives examples, and then guides you through a working project of mapping out an area in Texas to allow you to understand and master the basics of GIS and cartography. Shows where to get free data and how to check that data for validity. While this book teaches GIS via the open source program of Quantum GIS, it is applicable to any GIS program, whether it is ESRI ArcView, Microstation, or uDIG. Chapters include: Basic Background About Maps What is GIS? Coordinate Systems and Projections An Overview of GIS and Open-Source Programs Finding GIS Data Using Quantum GIS Adding Data Layers Customizing a GIS Project Working With The Attribute Table Downsizing Data from a Layer QGIS Plugins Measurement Tools Creating and Editing Layers Print Composer: Exporting a Map 134 pages

In today’s society, Americans often take for granted the accessibility of news; it is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, in print and on television, the radio and the internet. However, it was not so very long ago that the availability of information was in short supply, especially in times of war. Throughout history, it was repeatedly demonstrated how field news, as well as news from home, was necessary both to those fighting the battle, and to the loved ones waiting for them to return. It was only in the 20th century that the answer to this demand was fully developed, as America’s concern over its role on the world stage and the condition of its soldiers fighting overseas led toward the emergence of expanded military press coverage. Jack Pulwers tells the story of those who provided the eyes and ears for the troops, their families and the rest of the country during World War II. Inspired by his experiences, "The Press of Battle: The GI Reporter and the American People" is Pulwers’s remarkable in-depth exploration of the press and the media during this pivotal time in American history. A culmination of thirty years of research, "The Press of Battle" includes over 300 photos and 375 interviews with those who lived, wrote and photographed the news. The result is a singular and groundbreaking work that enlightens readers on both the civilian presses that were designed to bring news to soldiers and their families worldwide, and the presses that were operated by and for the soldiers. An amazing work of wartime and press history, "The Press of Battle" recounts with clarity, emotion and dedication, an almost wholly overlooked aspect of the war, an unsung aspect that was actually the very glue that held the American people and their soldiers together during a trying and tumultuous time.

A wonderful story of wartime days, fifty years ago, told in the words of both the GIs who crossed the Atlantic and the British people who made them welcome - most of the time.Fifty years ago, the first of 1 1/2 million American GIs landed on British soil, there to join their English cousins in a desperate fight against Hitler's Germany. Soon this "friendly invasion" spread all over the British Isles, as secret preparations got underway for a climactic invasion of continental Europe. Yanks were everywhere, the British thought, complaining about warm beer in the pubs, Brussels sprouts at every meal, and the typical British weather: rain, fog, dampness, and mud. While charming British girls and teaching them to jitterbug, surrounding themselves with gangs of English children demanding "Any gum, chum?" the GIs spent their money freely. "Overpaid, oversexed, and over here," muttered some of the natives. But the GIs had come primarily to fight Hitler. The mighty 8th Air Force flew countless perilous bombing raids deep into Germany, and, when D-Day finally came, Americans fought heroically on the beaches of Normandy, alongside British, Canadian, and Australian troops. That story has been told, but not this one - and highly entertaining it is!

Offering opinions is the second most necessary ingredient for human life. Studies show that we can go only three minutes without air, perhaps three days without water, maybe three weeks without food. . . and but three hours without offering somebody our suggestions, responses, or critiques. A perennial "hot" topic in management circles is the process of giving, getting and analyzing advice. This brief and engaging book can be of use to anyone who has to interact with other people. You'll enjoy the "read" so much that you may not realize how much you have gained - all in words of one syllable! How to offer feedback when asked (or hired) to do so. Why feedback tells more about the giver than the receiver. How feedback is distorted or resisted by the receiver's point of view and defense mechanisms. And in dozens of enjoyable vignettes, how humans have struggled to understand each others' responses.
