Chinese Martial Arts Training Manuals: A Historical Survey

[ES] No es habitual que buscador casual en la sección de artes marciales de una librería se encuentre con algo verdaderamente único. Mientras que algunos autores han sido capaces de romper con el formato de libros de “como hacer”, la gran mayoría de obras publicadas todavía se ocupan de los aspectos técnicos de uno u otro estilo. Sin duda, la razón de esto es la gran demanda de este tipo de libros. Esto hace que sea un placer aún mayor cuando algo diferente a lo habitual aparece en la estantería, ofreciendo llevar al lector en un viaje que él o ella no ha hecho nunca, o aproximándole a un tema que quizá nadie en el pasado ha considerado estudiar

Conservation tillage and residue management to reduce soil erosion

"Crop-residue management through conservation tillage is one of the best and most cost-effective ways to reduce soil erosion. Conservation tillage and residue management may reduce machinery expenses and save soil, labor, fuel and money. Crop residues uniformly distributed over the soil surface will significantly reduce soil losses over an entire field. On terraced land, the resultant reduction in soil losses due to this residue cover can greatly reduce the cost of terrace maintenance."--First page.John R. McCarthy (Soil Conservation Service), Donald L. Pfost (Agricultural Engineering), Nyle C. Wollenhaupt (Agronomy Department

Gunner Stillson and the Development of Diving in the U.S. Navy

Prior to 1900, the practice of diving inside the United State Navy was primarily taught through on-the-job training. A course had been developed at the Navy\u27s Torpedo Station at Newport, Rhode Island, but only a very limited number of personel went through that formal training. Shipboard divers learned from their shipmates and used whatever equipment happened to be at hand. It was as a result of this situation that Chief Gunner George Stillson felt compelled to write to the Department of the Navy and suggest that both training and equipment of Navy divers be standardized. Virtually every book on diving, civilian and military, mentions the subsequent achievements of Gunner Stillson, but almost nothing is known about the man himself. I am currently writing a book to rectify this situation. This presentation will give a brief overview of my research to date as well as cover the additional information I hope to locate during my Spring 2013 sabbatical
