Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates changes in the abundance of scup, a fish of importance in the economy of the Middle Atlantic and southern New England regions of America. The author analyses the impact of commercial fishing on the species, showing how factors such as varying availability and changes in the migratory habits of scup can create fluctuations in their yield. The core of this book lies in its detailed study of age size and age composition of the catches, which enabled the author to trace the growth of individual year classes and study the effects of factors such as a poor spawning season or high mortality rate on their survival. The author concludes that fluctuations in the summer fishery from New Jersey to Massachusetts were caused mainly by differences in the size of the successive year classes entering the fishery, while fluctuations in the catch of the winter trawl fishery off the Virginia Capes resulted from changes in the amount of cooling of the bottom water where these fish are found in winter.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating look at the Prussian army in the 19th century, providing a detailed analysis of its organization and development. The author, a Prussian Dragoon Guard, draws upon his personal experience to explain the evolution of the army from its disastrous defeat at Jena in 1806 to its emergence as a formidable force in the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War. He explores the key principles of the Prussian system, including its emphasis on compulsory education and military service, which created a disciplined and highly trained fighting force. The book delves into the mechanics of recruiting, training, and supplying the army, including the complex system of reserves and the vital role of horses in warfare. Through detailed descriptions of the army's structure, the author reveals the systematic approach to its organization, which allowed Prussia to mobilize a powerful fighting force with remarkable efficiency. The insights contained within this book offer a unique and valuable understanding of the Prussian army and its influence on European military history.
