Manual of Grasses for North America
by Mary E. Barkworth Laurel K. Anderton Kathleen M. Capels Sandy Long Michael B. PiepGrasses are the world's most important plants. They are the dominant species over large parts of the earth's land surface, a fact that is reflected in the many different words that exist for grasslands, words such as prairie, veldt, palouse, and pampas to mention just a few. As a group, grasses are of major ecological importance, as soil binders and providers of shelter and food for wild animals, both large and small. Some grasses, such as wheat, rice, corn, barley, rye, tef, and sugar cane are major sources of calories for humans and their livestock; others, primarily bamboos, are used for construction, tools, paper, and fabric. More recently, the seed catalogs that tantalize gardeners each winter have borne witness to an increasing appreciation of the aesthetic value of grasses. The Manual of Grasses for North America is designed as a successor to the classic volume by Hitchcock and Chase. It reflects current taxonomic thought and includes keys, illustrations, and distribution maps for the nearly 900 native and 400 introduced species that have been found in North America north of Mexico. In addition, it presents keys and illustrations for several species that are known only in cultivation or are of major agricultural significance, either as progenitors of bread wheat and corn or as a major threat to North American agriculture because of their ability to hybridize with crop species. The Manual is a major reference work for grasses that will retain its value for many years.

Manuel de rédaction à l'usage des militaires, nouvelle édition
by Adam Chapnick Craig Stone Eric OuelletManuel de rédaction à l'usage des militaires est conçu pour aider le personnel militaire à rédiger des textes scientifiques dans un style clair et efficace. Fruit de la collaboration entre un professeur d’écriture chevronné et un officier militaire à la retraite, le manuel s’adresse aux membres des forces armées qui rejoignent le monde universitaire et qui ont déjà rédigé dans un contexte professionnel militaire ou qui n’ont aucune expérience de la rédaction. En plus d’enseigner aux officiers et officières comment rédiger efficacement, ce manuel explique en quoi la maîtrise des techniques de rédaction est utile au personnel des forces armées dans leurs tâches régulières, en particulier aux échelons supérieurs. L’ouvrage traite de l’importance de savoir communiquer par écrit, de ce qui distingue la rédaction savante de la rédaction professionnelle, des processus de recherche et de rédaction proprement dite, du professionnalisme dans la sphère universitaire ainsi que des problèmes et défis fréquemment rencontrés par les rédactrices et les rédacteurs. Un dernier chapitre novateur traite de la manière dont les officiers peuvent mettre à profit les connaissances qu’ils ont acquises par leurs expériences professionnelles dans le contexte universitaire. Des exemples concrets — à l’usage particulier des militaires — sont présentés tout au long du texte pour guider la lectrice et le lecteur de manière pratique et pertinente.Cette édition révisée comprend de nouveaux exemples provenant d’une plus grande variété de sources. Elle prend en compte l’évolution récente des technologies de communication et reflète les nouvelles avancées dans les domaines de l’enseignement et de l’apprentissage.Cet ouvrage, le seul guide exhaustif de rédaction à l’usage du personnel militaire, est un ajout incontournable à la bibliothèque de tout officier et officière militaire, où qu’il se trouve et quel que soit son rang.Ce livre est publié en français. Formats disponibles : couverture souple, PDF accessible et ePub accessible
Manuel de rédaction à l’usage des militaires
by Adam Chapnick Craig Stone Éric Ouellet Pierre PahlaviLe Manuel de rédaction à l’usage des militaires est un guide de rédaction qui s’adresse aux membres des forces armées appelés à rédiger des textes de qualité dans un style soutenu pour un lectorat militaire averti. Au-delà de l’art de rédiger de manière précise et convaincante, ce manuel fait valoir auprès des militaires gradés qu’une bonne compréhension des rudiments de la rédaction contribue à leur propre efficacité dans leur fonction, tout particulièrement lorsqu’ils accèdent aux rangs supérieurs de l’institution. Le Manuel de rédaction à l’usage des militaires a été développé de manière à habiliter les militaires gradés à aller au-delà de la simple rédaction d’une note de service pour réussir une rédaction plus élaborée qui intègre les règles « universelles » des travaux universitaires. Il aborde divers aspects de la rédaction : l’importance de parfaire ses connaissances et ses habiletés en rédaction; le processus de rédaction et les différences selon le style adopté et les lectorats visés; la méthodologie et la recherche; les questions éthiques comme le plagiat; et les difficultés et les pièges les plus courants. Le dernier chapitre s’avère novateur dans la mesure où il porte sur la façon dont les membres des forces armées peuvent s’inspirer de leur expérience militaire comme élément porteur d’un exercice de rédaction. Des exemples précis, toujours avec un lectorat militaire à l’esprit, complètent le texte. Le Manuel de rédaction à l’usage des militaires est unique en son genre puisqu’il a été conçu spécifiquement à l’intention du personnel des forces armées. Les auteurs Éric Ouellet et Pierre Pahlavi et les collaborateurs Adam Chapnik et Craig Stone sont des professeurs chevronnés qui enseignent au Collège des Forces canadiennes de Toronto. Ce livre, taillé sur mesure pour répondre à un besoin précis, est donc appelé à devenir une référence incontournable dans ce milieu, à l’instar de sa version originale en langue anglaise, Academic Writing for Military Personnel, d’Adam Chapnik et Craig Stone. - Ce livre est publié en français

Maphead: Charting the Wide, Weird World of Geography Wonks
by Ken JenningsRecord-setting Jeopardy! champion and New York Times bestselling author of Planet Funny Ken Jennings explores the world of maps and map obsessives, &“a literary gem&” (The Atlantic). Ken Jennings takes readers on a world tour of geogeeks from the London Map Fair to the bowels of the Library of Congress, from the prepubescent geniuses at the National Geographic Bee to the computer programmers at Google Earth. Each chapter delves into a different aspect of map culture: highpointing, geocaching, road atlas rallying, even the “unreal estate” charted on the maps of fiction and fantasy. Jennings also considers the ways in which cartography has shaped our history, suggesting that the impulse to make and read maps is as relevant today as it has ever been. From the “Here be dragons” parchment maps of the Age of Discovery to the spinning globes of grade school to the postmodern revolution of digital maps and GPS, Maphead is filled with intriguing details, engaging anecdotes, and enlightening analysis. If you’re an inveterate map lover yourself—or even if you’re among the cartographically clueless who can get lost in a supermarket—let Ken Jennings be your guide to the strange world of mapheads.

Maps That Made History: The Influential, the Eccentric and the Sublime

Even in these days of disposable mapping - from satellite navigation to customized road directions at the click of a mouse - the historical map continues to present a unique perspective on our changing world.
