This book is not only tells us about ETs, but more importantly, about the "Secret Government" - a group of evil people who are really in control of America. This book reveals how much control they have, how they come to have alien technology, how they use this to harm/control people. Their goal is to control as many people in the world as possible, through making people miserable and then showing everybody that they can restore the world to a wonderful place - if only everyone lets them control everybody. They want to control everybody from the cradle to the grave.

"Horn Books" obviously does not know what it is talking about. Unfortunatly for use there innate and under used brain can not comprehend a novel better than the cheesy 5-cent "adult" romance novels that generally populate their ogrish minds. The Three Investigators rock!

This book is a very readable, and very unbias look at American History. It presents its subject without overflowing detail, and is very useful in the teaching of American History. A great AP History Text Book, that is also good for the novice historian.

I don't only recommend it to every christian who is waiting for Jesus's coming, and I urge you to make the editors to reprint it. The sign of being out of print is not because it's not good , by the contrary, It's the best of it's class!! This book impressed me deeply. When you read it, you can feel yourself with Jesus in the Olivet. He warned the apostles then as today.

Since Amazon didn't post an editorial review, here's the description from the back of the book to help you decide if this book is for you: "Was she fated to love him? That was what Genie Compton began to wonder -- and fear -- when she met reclusive artist Byron de Stefano. Fear because her fiance's sudden death had left her wary of love, despite her sister's claims that a romance with Byron was "in the stars." Geneie was instatnly and intensely attracted to Byron: that much was true. And he seemed to feel the same way about her. But she knew he had his own torments, his own tragedy, to contend with. So here they were, two people passionately drawn to each other, two people still suffering the pain of loss. Were the "signs" right? Could fear and doubt be vanquished by love?"

This collection of the earliest Craig Kennedy "mysteries" is both an exciting dip into early 20th Century reverence to science and a fascinating early paean to the type of investigation we, in the 21st Century, take for granted. If you are a fan of any of the C.S.I. television shows, the mere fact that Reeve created Craig Kennedy in 1910 should surprise you. Although not a "classic" detective in even the loosest terms of his period, whereby the detective relies on the powers of intuition, pure thinking, or the routine of casebook practices, Kennedy solves crimes by various chemical tests, blood analyses, and strange new devices that are all considered "wonders." Some of the best stories in this book may also be read as vivid adventures, such as "The Steel Door." If you're looking for the fair play "whodunit" puzzle plots often associated with Golden Age mysteries, you will be disappointed. But the Reeve stories are bar none some of the best imaginative fiction we have from the Gilded Age, and should be ripe for dramatization by the BBC or others. You will be hooked early on, but don't worry. There are other volumes of Kennedy adventures!

This book is a compilation of several books, so it has a lot of different styles and techniques: Polymer clay, painted glass, mother of pearl, leather cord etc. I myself come from a polymer clay background and this book gave me a lot of new ideas both of polymer clay jewlery and how to combine different mediums to get stunning looking jewlery.

The book includes step-by-step instructions with pictures only for the general instructions. The different projects have a picture with text instructions, but they are quite well written and easy to follow, even for beginners.

I warmly recommend this book to anyone interested in making jewlery. Lots of eye candy!

This book covers the build up to the sinking of the Belgrano and to the Falklands war. Thatcher's determination for the war to proceed and her manipulation of the British public is horrifying.

This instructor's guide is equally focused on quality improvement in a general sense as well as on 6-Sigma techniques.

It starts off with a module on course planning that lays out the curriculum and objectives. It then introduces 6-Sigma, followed by modules for improvement planning, problem solving, process management and common tools. Each module is, in my opinion, excellent. For example, improvement planning introduces quality function deployment (QFD) as a primary tool/technique. Problem solving gives a structured 5-step process that can be effectively used by anyone, regardless of their job or role, and the module on process management is where the 6-Sigma tools and techniques are introduced, along with design of experiments (Taguchi Technique), and an implementation plan. QFD is also more thoroughly covered in this module.

The final module covers most of the common TQM tools and techniques, which round out the knowledge and skill areas required by anyone responsible for supporting 6-Sigma at the worker through line manager levels.

Overall, this is a well written book that gives instructors a clearly defined outline for a syllabus and learning objectives.

In his book, The Sixties, Arthur Marwick argues that a cultural revolution took place from 1958 to 1974, "the Long Sixties,." which revolutionized artistic standards and values and changed the individual's relation to society. He further divides the Sixties into the low Sixties (1958-1963), where things began in a relatively non-violent fashion, the High Sixties (1964-1968/9), where things culminated to a crescendo of violence to 1968, and the final phase (1969-1974). He looks at four countries where this cultural revolution took place: Great Britain, France, Italy, and the United States.

The economic boom of the 1950's continued in the 1960's. Most families had radios, televisions, automobiles, and refrigerators. Teenagers became an economic class in themselves in that they became a target market. Most of them began buying their own clothing, toiletries, and luxury items, or influenced their parents into buying said items. Their tastes in music were a radical departure from their parents--e.g. Fats Domino, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley. Britain too experienced the "teenage ball" as coined in Colin MacInnes Absolute Beginners.

It was from this generation that the Students for a Democratic Society emerged, led by Al Haber and Tom Hayden, the latter who composed the Port Huron Statement which was the rehearsal of the major concerns to be taken up by the New Left and the Movement in the High Sixties.

I was particularly struck by the issue that only marginally succeeded in the United States (The Great Society) but was a progressive enlightened vision in Britain, "the civilized society," as coined by Home Secretary Roy Jenkins, and the welfare state. The central concern was national insurance, where every person made a flat-rate contribution and could get that same rate when they became unemployed, later amended to where higher-salaried employees would contribute an added rate in exchange for an added rate in their pensions.

The five bases for the civilized society were the abolition of capital punishment (1969), the Abortion Reform Law (1967), the National Health Service (Family Planning) Act (1967) allowing local authorities to freely dispense contraceptive devices and advice, the Sexual Offenses Act (1967), which decriminalised homosexual acts between consenting adults, and the Divorce Reform Act (1969).

The 1960's was a time of permissiveness in books and the arts. Consider the seizure of the unexpurgated version of Lady Chatterley's Lover by the post-master general. A district court judge ruled that the book could be sent through the mail because interpretations of censorship must change according to the attitudes of the day. The same argument was used in film censorship and in 1968, during the High Sixties, Jack Valenti of the Motion Picture Association of America instituted the four-tier code that replaced the outdated Hays Code, the same way Jack Trevelyan adjusted the film code in Britain.

Marwick gives credit to my favourite group, the Beatles. After all, they became icons of youth culture, although they didn't fare well in conservative France and Italy. They were the synthesis of the skiffle craze and Mersey Beat sound that began in the Low Sixties, heroes of working class backgrounds.

Marwick identifies 1968 in America and 1969 in France as marking the end of the High Sixties. In France, it was the end of Charles de Gaulle's regime. In America, the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, and the SDS-led student siege of Columbia University were flashpoints. In France, there were anti-U.S. student demonstrations in the Sorbonne in the wake of the Tet Offensive, leading to full-blown riots that took place for weeks in May 1968.

Marwick points to the end of U.S. involvement in Vietnam and the resignation of Richard Nixon on 9 August 1974 as a victory finally achieved by the anti-war protesters. However, the economic prosperity of the 1960's collapsed in 1974 with the effects of the Arab oil embargo.

A somewhat lengthy book that focuses more on cultural and socioecnomics rather than political, but an eye-opening read nevertheless.
