D. - Pike -15 cents ID 1.1) igti a N PREFACE This bibliography is the result of a selective examination of book and periodical literature published between 1920 and 1950, on the forests of Mexico, Central America, and South America. It is a guide to back- ground information for anyone interested in the standing timber re source and its utilization, in these lands below our Mexican border. The listing of references is subdivided by country. British Honduras and the Guianas are included on the basis of their place in the conti- nental economy, even though they are not Latin-American in a polit- ical sense. Due to the large number of entries collected under the General heading, and for Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, these four divisions again are subdivided, segregating references on vegetation and timber description from ,forest policy and forest industry materi- al. A short list of periodicals publishing Latin-American forestry infor- mation follows the main body of the bibliography. This, in turn, is fol- lowed by the index, a subject guide to general and geographic sections A user of this index will not find the terms Forests and Forestry used, because it is assumed that these terms, overlay almost every item in theth index. He will find, however, such headings as Resources, Policies, Forest Types, Maps, botanical names of timber trees, and common names of forest products. Within this last category, the bib- liographic scope includes the major products:timber, lumber, ply- wood, crossties, pulpwood, fuelwood, naval stores, tannin sources, chicle, and balata. Omitted are commodities like Hevea rubber, cin- chona, and palm products, each of which occupies a major domain for separate bibliographic exploration. Likewise omitted, or included only incidentally, are references on taxonomic botany, wood technol- ogy, forest legislation, commodity production statistics, and trade statistics. Most of the references are in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, with a sprinkling of German, French, Dutch, and, other languages. Standards of usage and accenting may vary within our entries, just as they do in the countries where the written literature originates. S. J. Record and R. W. Hess' Timbers of the New World (1943) served as a stand- ard of botanical nomenclature for the particular trees and timbers covered by this bibliography. Over 4,000 references were examined in the course of compilation, most of which are housed in the U. S. Department of Agriculture Li- brary. Call numbers following citations refer to this collection. In those cases where another library's collection was used, a designa- tion like Libr. Cong. or Pan Amer. Union Libr. follows the citation. The symbol FS stands for U. S. Forest Service files. The U. S. Forest Service Division of Forest Economics, Foreign For- estry Section, headed by A. C. Cline, has been an active collaborator in this bibliography. Particular thanks are due Karl R. Mayer of that office, who bore the major burden of revision. SOURCES CONSULTED Card Catalogs U. S. D. A.

  • The Miracle Resource Eco-Link
    Since 1989 Eco-Link Linking Social, Economic, and Ecological Issues The Miracle Resource Volume 14, Number 1 In the children’s book “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein the main character is shown to beneÞ t in several ways from the generosity of one tree. The tree is a source of recreation, commodities, and solace. In this parable of giving, one is impressed by the wealth that a simple tree has to offer people: shade, food, lumber, comfort. And if we look beyond the wealth of a single tree to the benefits that we derive from entire forests one cannot help but be impressed by the bounty unmatched by any other natural resource in the world. That’s why trees are called the miracle resource. The forest is a factory where trees manufacture wood using energy from the sun, water and nutrients from the soil, and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In healthy growing forests, trees produce pure oxygen for us to breathe. Forests also provide clean air and water, wildlife habitat, and recreation opportunities to renew our spirits. Forests, trees, and wood have always been essential to civilization. In ancient Mesopotamia (now Iraq), the value of wood was equal to that of precious gems, stones, and metals. In Mycenaean Greece, wood was used to feed the great bronze furnaces that forged Greek culture. Rome’s monetary system was based on silver which required huge quantities of wood to convert ore into metal. For thousands of years, wood has been used for weapons and ships of war. Nations rose and fell based on their use and misuse of the forest resource.

  • Leadership and Ethical Development: Balancing Light and Shadow
    LEADERSHIP AND ETHICAL DEVELOPMENT: BALANCING LIGHT AND SHADOW Benyamin M. Lichtenstein, Beverly A. Smith, and William R. Torbert A&stract: What makes a leader ethical? This paper critically examines the answer given by developmental theory, which argues that individuals can develop throu^ cumulative stages of ethical orientation and behavior (e.g. Hobbesian, Kantian, Rawlsian), such that leaders at later develop- mental stages (of whom there are empirically very few today) are more ethical. By contrast to a simple progressive model of ethical develop- ment, this paper shows that each developmental stage has both positive (light) and negative (shadow) aspects, which affect the ethical behaviors of leaders at that stage It also explores an unexpected result: later stage leaders can have more significantly negative effects than earlier stage leadership. Introduction hat makes a leader ethical? One answer to this question can be found in Wconstructive-developmental theory, which argues that individuals de- velop through cumulative stages that can be distinguished in terms of their epistemological assumptions, in terms of the behavior associated with each "worldview," and in terms of the ethical orientation of a person at that stage (Alexander et.al., 1990; Kegan, 1982; Kohlberg, 1981; Souvaine, Lahey & Kegan, 1990). Developmental theory has been successfully applied to organiza- tional settings and has illuminated the evolution of managers (Fisher, Merron & Torbert, 1987), leaders (Torbert 1989, 1994b; Fisher & Torbert, 1992), and or- ganizations (Greiner, 1972; Quinn & Cameron, 1983; Torbert, 1987a). Further, Torbert (1991) has shown that successive stages of personal development have an ethical logic that closely parallels the socio-historical development of ethical philosophies during the modern era; that is, each sequential ethical theory from Hobbes to Rousseau to Kant to Rawls explicitly outlines a coherent worldview held implicitly by persons at successively later developmental stages.

  • To Clarify These Terms, Our Discussion Begins with Hydraulic Conductivity Of
    Caribbean Area PO BOX 364868 San Juan, PR 00936-4868 787-766-5206 Technology Transfer Technical Note No. 2 Tropical Crops & Forages Nutrient Uptake Purpose The purpose of this technical note is to provide guidance in nutrient uptake values by tropical crops in order to make fertilization recommendations and nutrient management. Discussion Most growing plants absorb nutrients from the soil. Nutrients are eventually distributed through the plant tissues. Nutrients extracted by plants refer to the total amount of a specific nutrient uptake and is the total amount of a particular nutrient needed by a crop to complete its life cycle. It is important to clarify that the nutrient extraction value may include the amount exported out of the field in commercial products such as; fruits, leaves or tubers or any other part of the plant. Nutrient extraction varies with the growth stage, and nutrient concentration potential may vary within the plant parts at different stages. It has been shown that the chemical composition of crops, and within individual components, changes with the nutrient supplies, thus, in a nutrient deficient soil, nutrient concentration in the plant can vary, creating a deficiency or luxury consumption as is the case of Potassium. The nutrient uptake data gathered in this note is a result of an exhaustive literature review, and is intended to inform the user as to what has been documented. It describes nutrient uptake from major crops grown in the Caribbean Area, Hawaii and the Pacific Basin. Because nutrient uptake is crop, cultivar, site and nutrient content specific, unique values cannot be arbitrarily selected for specific crops.
