"The McIntyre Creek Road Relocation Phase IIB is intended to improve steelhead habitat, channel morphology, riparian vegetation and water quality of McIntyre Creek. The following conclusion statements reflect the success of the project implementation. Increased fish habitat diversity, pool frequency and hiding cover within the system for steelhead for the purpose of juvenile rearing and adult holding areas. Reduced sediment loads occurring in McIntyre Creek and road density throughout the watershed by obliterating 2.82 miles of McIntyre Creek Road and reconstruction of the existing ridge road. Restored adjacent floodplain and stream channel through road obliteration and relocation techniques. Restored riparian grasses, hardwoods, and sedges in the primary floodplain to accelerate stream shade, and reducing stream temperatures by improving the riparian pasture fence."--Summary and Conclusions.

The text includes both classic pieces and original essays that provide the reader with a comprehensive, even-handed sense of the theoretical underpinnings, methodological challenges, and existing research necessary to understand the problems associated with racial and ethnic profiling and police bias.

This document is a compendium of scientifically valid and accepted methods that can be used to assess sediment quality and predict ecological impacts...the intent here is to provide the most useful overall measures or predictors of ecological impacts currently in use rather than procedures that may have limited application outside of a particular regulatory framework... parag The information provided in the compendium on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the different assessment methods can provide assistance in selecting the appropriate methods.

Summarizes the science of climate change and impacts on the United States, for the public and policymakers.

Campus planning is often a crucial underlying set of goals for university administrations, even if, over time, the mix of new and old buildings, changes in usage patterns and activities of students, and evolution of styles present challenges to a cohesive campus plan. In its two-hundred year history the University of Michigan has planned its campus in waves, from the earliest days of the iconic buildings around the Diag to the plans for the hospitals and the North Campus. This immensely informative and entertaining second volume in the history of the evolution of the campuses offers an absorbing narrative from the perspective of Fred Mayer, who served for more than three decades as the campus planner for the university during an important period of its growth during the late twentieth century. By tracing the development of the Ann Arbor campus from its early days to the present, within the context of the evolution of higher education in America, Mayer provides a strong argument for the importance of rigorous and enlightened campus planning as a critical element of the learning environment of the university. His comprehensive history of campus planning, illustrated with photos, maps, and diagrams from Michigan’s history, is an outstanding contribution to the university’s history as it approaches its bicentennial.
