Book excerpt: An integrated approach to the subject, exploring a wide variety of solutions to pest control problems, including the non-chemical. Information on chemicals and pesticide applications have been brought up-to-date and are accompanied by discussions of environmental factors and safety aspects. While the perspective is Australian, many of these pests are universal in their distribution. Some 280 illustrations (80 in color). A sound practical guide that deserves a bibliography. Describes the struggle of prosperous German bourgeois leaders to impose order on the tumultuous growth of the cities during the rapid industrialization in the decades before World War I. Part civic boosterism, part social reform, and heavily laced with politics, their theories and actions spawned modern urban planning. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
