Almost Worthy
"Ruswick's well-researched monograph traces the history of the
charity organization society in the US from its origins in the Gilded
Age to its merging with social work in the Progressive Era. ... Recommended."
Habitats and Ecological Communities of Indiana
"This book provides a mine of information on Indiana's living
environment that will be useful to scientific specialists and
generalists, state government
officials, students, and general readers. ... Highly recommended."
Life Traces of the Georgia Coast
"This tour de force is of far greater general interest than the title might suggest. ... [I]t is
scientifically rigorous but still tells a good story, and is often quite
humorous. Detailed
descriptions of plant, invertebrate, and vertebrate traces are
accompanied by many photos and diagrams. ... Highly recommended."
