This is the only field guide to provide comprehensive coverage of the mammals of Central America and southeast Mexico. The fully revised second edition includes 21 new species, as well as updated illustrations and distribution maps. Each species account provides measurements, descriptions, and comparisons with similar species, and is accompanied by a range map showing where the species can be found in the region.The 49 full-color animal plates contain similar species portrayed to scale on the same plate, with tracks and feet shown on the facing-page. 4 new full-color maps provide visual views of parks and protected areas, biomes, elevations and habitat loss, as well as a political map of the region. The book also features a detailed introduction with sections on how and where to find mammals and a listing of the most endangered species in the region.

The success of Fortran as the predominant language in the field of scientific and numerical computing is due, in part, to its steady evolution. Following the publication of standards in 1966, 1977 and 1991, the committee responsible for their development, J3, worked in conjunction with an ISO committee to enhance Fortran 90, as the 1991 standard was known, creating Fortran 95. "Fortran 95" was published in 1997, and, in addition to Fortran 90's new features for array processing, abstract data types, modules, and pointers, it contains additional features to keep it aligned with High Performance Fortran, as well as some minor enhancements. This volume represents a revision of the first edition of "Fortran 90/95 Explained". "The Fortran 95" material is now fully integrated with that of "Fortran 90", whilst maintaining a clear distinction between the two language levels. Chapters on enhanced data type facilities and floating-point exception handling, two optional enhancements to Fortran 95, have been added. It is a complete and authoritative description of Fortran 90/95, and is intended for new and existing users, and for all those involved in scientific and numerical computing.From reviews of the first edition: "The book is well designed and written in a clear and understandable language. It is recommended for people working in technical fields in FORTRAN environments who need a tutorial as well as a detailed language reference. IZentralblatt fur Mathematik und ihre Grenzegebiete, both authors are eminent scientists in the field of scientific computing and their experience shines through every page and every example". - "Mathematics Today".

Dyslexia and Literacy provides a comprehensive, practical introduction for all professionals seeking an understanding of dyslexia in children. Divided into four parts, the book firstly introduces the various theoretical perspectives and follows this up with identification and assessment techniques with an emphasis on practical, classroom related issues. The third part of the text covers topics related to the school curriculum and a final section covers issues that relate to the learning process.
