This book has alot of information for those starting in R/C planes. I thought it was well worth the cost and would reccomend it to anyone starting in R/C planes. Although it is excellent for beginners it also has information that anyone can use such as how to properly set up a bi-plane.

This book is full of interesting articles from the magazine "Dollars & Sense" relating to Macro Economics.

The pieces contained in this book are pleasant to read and full of great opinion and facts!

Wilkeson's words ring true and honest about the life of an light artillery battery during the Civil War. He also provides and first hand account about the life of a private in the Union Army. This book was an easy read and it is highly recommended for all students of the Civil War to add to their collection.

Good book if you are looking for a good book on us military history in the 1950s, i recomed it to anyone who wants to know more about U.S history.

As someone attempting to model agri-environmental issues, i found this book extremely useful. The collection of articles cover a spectrum of inter-related topical matters. A must read for anyone seriously pursuing eco/agri - environmental policy decision making, modelling and evaluation.

This is a textbook-type of book in the good sense of the term: it is well-written, information-packed, but yet relatively simply portrayed. A good introduction to the major religions of Asia. The focus is on the texts of each religion. What is missing is more discussion on how various elements of the population (underclass, women, etc.) incorporate the textual-based religous practices described in the text. Would have to look elsewhere for such a discussion.

Textbook format with interesting highlights of the world's major religions. Not as focused on doctrine as Huston Smith, but indicates the cultural impact and use of these eastern and western religions. Good reference tool.

Mr. Herman documents a case of western disinformation surrounding the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II. He provides a service by documenting the participation of a diverse set of players including Fascists, the CIA and Italian Freemasonry, which has been implicated implicated in the Vatican Bank scandal and the assassination of Pope John Paul I in the book "In God's Name" by David Yallop. Mr Herman drops the ball and, perhaps intentionally, masks larger issues when he tries to promote the notion that the P2 Masonic Lodge's actions were "against the longstanding tradition of Italian Masonry that excluded political discussions." In her book "In Banks We Trust" Penny Lernoux touches on the broad role of Italian Freemasonry as a network used after WWII by Americans, who promoted Fascists to fight Communists. She notes, "Membership in a lodge was reliable evidence of the anticommunism required for a successful career in a NATO military force." The P2 Masonic lodge wasn't an anomaly. It reveals the essential character of organizations like the Masons.

You would not believe it - but this book is as captivating as some detective or adventure novel. the difference is that instead of digging for gold or looking for long-lost treasures in some Andes, these people are real people, with real lives, and families and jobs - and they are fighting for an ideal that they all believe in.
It just so happens to that this ideal is not that of love, or honor or dignity or anything of the sort, it is not even that of money being th ultimate good as in Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" - it is simply that of not building an Interstate highway in a haphazard manner of not taking into considerations people's homes and ways of existing.
People fight for it just as others were fighting in the French revolution, and that didn't happen in some 17** Paris, but in the late 1960's, here in the United States - in Boston in fact.
