Nova Books

Very well written and covers a wealth of information on using nonlinear dynamics in their application to EEG.

This book is a book of a new era in brain studies. Many years of research gave knowledge related to the anatomy and function of the brain but new knowledge can be achieved using the tools of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory. These methods are new and powerful instruments to study complex phenomena as the anatomy and function of the brain. In the beginning of using these methods, "chaos" theory was "peculiar" to mention and the weaknesses of the computers was a cause of small steps of progress. Now, more powerful instruments and the experience of at least two decades, helped to make more progress.
This unique book give information for the state of the art research and initiatives for future research related to the brain studies.

I bought this book in Toronto, Ontario in preparation for my move to Wolfville, Nova Scotia. I am an avid naturalist and outdoor enthusiast (hiking, biking, Nordic skiing, canoeing), as well as an explorer of old roads and villages, so I required a detailed set of maps that would let me discover my new home province.

This highly detailed and up-to-date (2001) road atlas covers Nova Scotia at 1:150 000 (1 cm=1.5 km or 1 inch = 2.4 miles) in 90 highly detailed and colourful, yet very clear, map pages. Each map is large (25.5 cm x 18.5 cm or 10 in x 7.25 in) and overlaps a generous but not excessive 1.5 km (1 mi) with the adjacent map pages. The index has over 14 000 geographical names (towns, villages, rivers, lakes, islands, etc.). The book is 33.5 cm x 25.5 cm (13 in x 10 in) in total size, and weighs 780 g (1 lb, 11 oz). It is prepared by the Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations, and the Nova Scotia Geomatics Centre.

This volume has all of the features that one would expect from a conventional road atlas, including well-labelled highways, railways, ferry routes, cities, towns, villages, historic sites, parks, lakes, rivers, designated beaches, hospitals and airports. What sets it apart, however, is that it displays many features more typical of topographic maps in the convenience of one volume. Natural features such as contour lines, point elevations, wetlands and even the smallest ponds, streams and islands are clearly displayed. Human features, including sections of crown (public) land, airstrips, heliports, firetowers, power lines, pipelines, quarries, aeronautical obstacles and geodetic monuments are also well-marked.

What is most impressive, however, is that every road, paved and unpaved, longer than 200 m (600 ft or 1/8 mi) in the province is indicated in a colour and thickness that corresponds to the type of road and surface. These roads include limited access highways (Nova Scotia 100 Highway series), arterial highways (NS Highways 1 to 28), collector highways (NS 200 and 300 Highway series), local highways, local roads, loose surface roads, cart tracks, public hiking trails and rail trails.

Needless to say, this detail is an absolute dream for those that like to explore the province off the beaten track, and for those that wish to hike, mountain bike or Nordic ski on old logging roads. The contours and natural features labelled on the pages will also help in determining the topography of a trip.

My only wish is that some of the larger non-highway side roads (which the province unfortunately does not number) were labelled on the maps. However, my guess is that the author may have felt that these labels would clutter the pages to the point where they would decrease the quality of the atlas. After travelling in a certain region, I have taken to labelling the roads on the corresponding atlas page with an index number, and then, in the generous margins, cross-referencing the number with the name of the road so that I know where it is in the future.

This atlas is fantastic value when one considers the price of individual governmental topographic maps. I am of the opinion that it will satisfy all but the most hardcore back-country adventurer in Nova Scotia (I would still suggest the governmental 1:50 000 map series for individuals planning longer canoe or backpacking trips).

Combine the information in this book with excellent and up-to-date books on Hiking Trails of Nova Scotia by Michael Haynes (completely different trails are featured in the 7th AND 8th editions), and Mountain bike! Atlantic Canada by Sarah L. Hale and Jodi E. Bishop, and you are set to explore this beautiful part of the world!

Have fun and drive safely!

If you are planning a trip to Nova Scotia, start here. This truly excellent atlas has topo features, cities and towns, roads, and what are probably no more than paths or tracks. It contains about 90 individual maps covering all of Nova Scotia, more than you ever wanted to know. Never having visited the Maritimes, I cannot attest to its accuracy, but it gives every appearance of being a superbly useful set of maps, professionally and carefully prepared.

It is a good merchandise very low price. It a great opportunity to learned all those trick that can help you to fond a solution on restoration and repair project.

I own a 1973 Nova SS, and this book told me the history on my baby, along with how the Nova became famous. This book will give a beginner all the info they need to know and let the enthusiests in on a couple of secrets. I definately enjoyed this book! For any person who loves Novas will love this book!

This is a great source to have! It is easy to read and covers everything all the major music history text books cover. Overall it is a faster, eaiser, and more interesting read than other texts. World history is also linked with music history to help the reader understand what actually happened. I strongly suggest this book for Graduate students reviewing for comprehensive exams!

Concise, but inclusive. Would make a valuable text for undergrad Music History or for general graduate study.

Ms. Virginia White's book about Hungary is indeed a valuable edition to the genre, and I congratulate her for this volume and her splendid life.

Virginia White tells two equally engrossing tales in her fascinating new book: that of Hungary as it makes a difficult transition from Communism to western style capitalism and her own personal story full of adventures, mishaps, warmth, wisdom and humor. As a "senior" Peace Corps teacher in Hungary in the early 90s, White was well-positioned to observe the unprecedented turn-around in that country, and her insights into the politics, economics, and society of the time are right on the mark. But it is her talent as an observer of everyday details and her fascinating interactions with her new neighbors, friends, and students that make this book so hard to put down. One looks forward to reading the further adventures of someone who is far from being "over the hill."

This completely updated fourth edition of Personal Bankruptcy by bankruptcy attorney Daniel Sitarz is a "user friendly" instructional introduction and guide to the new 2005 Bankruptcy Act and the process of properly proceeding a declaration of bankruptcy. Providing readers with official files and forms, checklists and questionnaires, sample completed forms, and particular state exemption lists, Personal Bankruptcy is the essential reference tool as a legally valid production for all fifty states for the non-specialist general reader considering the invocation of bankruptcy to set in order their financial affairs. Personal Bankruptcy is very strongly recommended, especially for those hoping to correctly and lawfully engage in the process of filing for bankruptcy and are searching for a thorough and reliable study on how to proceed.

This book offers a good introduction to personal bankruptcy. I recommend this for homeowners seeking more information about how a personal bankruptcy might effect them. For readers who also have debt related to business operations or those who advise them I recommenedChapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers.

I am a very detail-oriented person, and this book answered all of my questions and some I wouldn't have known to have! I feel well-prepared for my new pom and am confident I can make informed decisions about the health, safety, and happiness of my pup. The pictures are wonderful too - I'm sure this book would already be dog-eared (no pun intended) if it wasn't a hardcover!

This is a very good book and covers the POM subject very well. This book is excellent and is a very good buy.

Good read and very informative. For someone taking a course in the U.S. presidency, this book helped me greatly. I would recommend it for anyone how wants to learn more about presidential doctrines, specifically national security.

I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about national security policies. I was surprised by the content of the book.

This book seems to hit on every aspect of raising a puppy. The information is presented in interesting ways and the pictures are cute. I learned a lot and will continue to use it as a reference as we train and care for our puppy. I thought it was a very good buy and would recommend it. I spent a while at Borders looking through puppy books and just bought this one on a whim, but am very happy with it.

Teoti Anderson, with help from veterinary consulting editor Wayne Hunthausen D.V.M., has written a delightful book that will introduce you to the wonderful and exciting world of puppies.

Beautifully illustrated and informative, Puppy Care & Training has a free care and training DVD, sections on how to train your canine using positive training methods, up-to-date health care information, convenient diet options, as well as easy-to-follow grooming instructions.

Owning a dog is a source of great joy; but it also carries with it a sense of responsibility. This book will help you keep your four legged family member healthy and safe for years to come.
