Book Description
The Incubation Book was the title of Dr. Arthur Anderson Brown's original highly acclaimed book on this subject, which was reprinted four times. It was revised and updated in 1994 with many new photographs and an additional chapter. Now the whole book has been revised again by G.E.S. Robbins to include the advances in incubator manufacture and the latest incubation techniques in current use. The New Incubation Book is particularly recommended for all who are interested in incubation whether it be for pheasants, waterfowl, parrots, birds of prey, ratites, or many other unusual species, including reptiles. Dr. Anderson Brown's scientific approach to his subject makes the book of great value for college and university courses that include Zoology, Embryology and Incubation. The practical research by Dr. Anderson Brown and G.E.S. Robbins has resulted in incubators with sophisticated electronic control of temperature, turning and humidity. These are now manufactured commercially for use around the world. Dr. Anderson Brown's original ideas have been developed into some of the most advanced and successful equipment available. The additional information added by G.E.S. Robbins now brings this bible on incubation fully up to date.

Growing New Ventures, Creating New Jobs

Publisher: Praeger
ISBN: 1567200338
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
Well managed business incubators with programs and services that help their client companies grow are important mechanisms for economic development in America. Although the number of business incubators in the United States has grown from 10 to 500 in the last 15 years, the success of these incubators has been mixed. Many incubator directors are so busy with public relations, fund raising and administrative duties that they spend very little time working with client companies. Mark Rice and Jana Matthews, incubator experts, have identified three key principles and 10 best practices of successful incubators - those that help entrepreneurs grow their companies. This book provides a litmus test for determining an incubator's feasibility, suggests ways to attract high-quality entrepreneurs, and includes many hands-on examples from some of the country's best business incubators. The authors have developed alternative financial models for incubators, clearly delineated board and staff responsibilities, and outlined many different ways to help entrepreneurs grow their companies, depending on their stage of development.

Nests, Eggs, and Incubation

Author: D. Charles Deeming
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191028797
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 440

Book Description
Nests, Eggs, and Incubation brings together a global team of leading authorities to provide a comprehensive overview of the fascinating and diverse field of avian reproduction. Starting with a new assessment of the evolution of avian reproductive biology in light of recent research, the book goes on to cover four broad areas: the nest, the egg, incubation, and the study of avian reproduction. New research on nest structures, egg traits, and life history is incorporated, whilst contemporary methodologies such as self-contained temperature probes and citizen science are also discussed. Applied chapters describe how biological knowledge can be applied to challenges such as urbanisation and climate change. The book concludes by suggesting priorities for future research. This book builds upon the foundations laid down by Charles Deeming's 2002 work Avian Incubation (available for readers of this book to access online for free), much of which remains relevant today. Read in conjunction with this previous volume, it provides an up-to-date and thorough review of egg biology, nest function, and incubation behaviour, which will be an essential resource for students of avian biology, as well as both professional and amateur ornithologists working in the field of avian reproduction.
