Clyde Norman (74 results)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Close Ups of the High Sierra is a journey through the exquisite and remote backcountry of the Sierra Nevada as told by one of the greatest California mountaineers of all time. Norman Clyde's rate of first ascents far surpassed those of John Muir, Clarence King and William Brewer, combined. Clyde was so familiar with the Sierra, that he was often called upon to find downed planes and lost climbers, which he did with a tremendous rate of success. Published here for the first time is a selection of Clyde's best writings, which for more than half a century, have been filed away in the forgotten solitude and darkness of private collections. Also included are photographs taken on Clyde's famed Sierra Club High Trips, which were attended by such notable Sierrans as Ansel Adams, Cedric Wright, Francis Farquhar, Glen Dawson, and Jules Eichorn.

Paperback. Condition: New. This collection features five peer-reviewed literature reviews on decision support systems (DSS) in agriculture.The first chapter provides a review of DSS in agriculture, whilst addressing the key questions surrounding their use for farm soil and crop management. The different aspects of agricultural DSS design, implementation and operation are also discussed.The second chapter assesses the role of DSS for pest monitoring and management through information technology such as, remote sensing, GIS, spectral indices, image-based diagnostics, and phenology-based degree day models.The third chapter discusses the potential of implementing DSS within the growing mechanisation in greenhouses. It examines differences in development and application of deterministic explanatory and data-based models for real-time control and DSS.The fourth chapter explores the key issues associated with deploying DSS in precision agriculture, whilst also considering their human and social aspects. The chapter also considers how future research on DSS can be moulded to improve productivity in a precision agriculture setting.The final chapter outlines the importance of a participatory approach in DSS development, whilst also offering examples of climate-based DSS for crop and land management, pest and disease management, and livestock (dairy) management.…

The book has a 16-page biography of Clyde by Dennis Kruska. Also, Kruska has made detailed annotations to Clyde's letters. The core of this book consists of 25 unedited letters (unpublished prior to this book) that were written by Clyde over a 41-year span. They all relate to his climbing, tramping, skiing, and various outdoor adventures in the Sierra Nevada of California. Clyde "climbed more Sierra peaks, hiked more Sierra miles, and found more missing Sierra hikers than any other 20th century mountaineer." Clyde also did some pioneer mountain skiing in the Sierra Nevada (one letter discusses some). Among Clyde's first ascents are East Face of Mt Whitney (1931), second ascent by new route of El Picacho del Diablo in Baja Mexico (1932), first ascent of Mt Russell (1926), first ascent of Clyde Minaret (1928), fist ascent of Middle Palisade (1929), first ascent of the Devil's Crags (1934). Most of his mountaineering first ascents were made while climbing solo. This book won the "Award of Merit" from the 1999 Western Books Exhibition. This is an annual traveling exhibit sponsored by the Rounce & Coffin Club of Los Angeles that showcases outstanding examples of works produced by fine press printers and book artists.
