Mallory S World From A To Z

What happens when a prize-winning poet and a dazzlingly gifted nine-year-old illustrator collaborate on a children's book? Mallory's World from A to Z is a collection of smart and appealing alphabet poems illustrated by the poet's great niece, a blond-haired ball of energy and art student, named Mallory.Inspired by poet laureate Richard Wilbur's Opposites series, sometimes Ed worked from Mallory's drawings, but usually Mallory drew from Ed's poems.Because Mallory lives on a farm and because the zoo is one of Ed's favorite haunts, a good portion of the poems feature animals. The mnemonic qualities of the poems and the whimsical nature of the illustrations should make this collection memorable for children and their parents and caregivers alike. Mallory and Ed would love for readers of all ages to enjoy the magic and spirit of Mallory's World from A to Z.

This book also details the formation of two shipyards in South Portland, Maine, the Todd-Bath Iron Shipbuilding Co. and the South Portland Shipbuilding Corp.

This filmography covers more than 300 horror films released from 1990 through 1999. The horror genre's trends and cliches are connected to social and cultural phenomena, such as Y2K fears and the Los Angeles riots. Popular films were about serial killers, aliens, conspiracies, and sinister "interlopers," new monsters who shambled their way into havoc. Each of the films is discussed at length with detailed credits and critical commentary. There are six appendices: 1990s cliches and conventions, 1990s hall of fame, memorable ad lines, movie references in Scream, 1990s horrors vs. The X-Files, and the decade's ten best. Fully indexed, 224 photographs.

This open access book surveys the frontier of scientific river research and provides examples to guide management towards a sustainable future of riverine ecosystems. Principal structures and functions of the biogeosphere of rivers are explained; key threats are identified, and effective solutions for restoration and mitigation are provided. Rivers are among the most threatened ecosystems of the world. They increasingly suffer from pollution, water abstraction, river channelisation and damming. Fundamental knowledge of ecosystem structure and function is necessary to understand how human acitivities interfere with natural processes and which interventions are feasible to rectify this. Modern water legislation strives for sustainable water resource management and protection of important habitats and species. However, decision makers would benefit from more profound understanding of ecosystem degradation processes and of innovative methodologies and tools for efficient mitigation and restoration. The book provides best-practice examples of sustainable river management from on-site studies, European-wide analyses and case studies from other parts of the world. This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of aquatic ecology, river system functioning, conservation and restoration, to postgraduate students, to institutions involved in water management, and to water related industries.
