this is the most complete and useful textbook i use, and so are surgeons around me

As a member of the Danish Society for Surgery of the Hand, I have spent a lot of time browsing this text-book which has become the bible of many hand-surgeon world-over. The book is a complete listing of diseases in the hand, and covers everything about it. This book not only covers the diseases but also includes the most wanted "author`s preferred method". Drawings are good and easy to apply on patients. This bible will always be the backbone of my handsurgery.

This is the definitive textbook on hand surgery. Dr. Green should be commended for further improving what was already a comprehensive text.

This full color book has a broader scope than his WW II Tommy (c.f.) It covers the khaki drill and jungle green uniforms of the RAF and even the Naval ratings of the Malta Defense Force in white undress shorts.
This book is extremely well photographed in a large format. Because Brayley served 24 years as a military photographer in many parts of the world he was able to pose his models in the actual locations where the items were worn in Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East. As in all his work, all of the items are original World War period issue.
The only peculiar thing to my eyes is that because many items were unused, due to the British manner of attaching the clothing issue labels to the outside of the garments, these lables are visible in the images. In actual service, of course, these would be removed.
The book covers as well as clothing, personal equipment, small arms, and comfort items commonly carried in the field.
This is a fine work and a classic of its genre and deserves a place along with his other works on the library shelf.

Oh, wow! A wonderful follow up to Tommy! An excellent and all encompassing review of British & Commonwealth uniforms worn in the warmer theatres of WW2. And at last someone has shown me that the P44 Equipment really did have an actual rucksack. Other writers, (Davis & Chappel), when describing this item, never show what it looked like, and as I have a P44 large pack that is nothing like what they describe, I doubted the existance of a rucksack. So my thanks to Messrs. Ingram & Brayley for illustrating it in use, and mounted on the P45 manpack carrier. The photos in the book are ecellent, the descriptions are clear and often amusing, and the subject matter extensive. To my mind it is the diffinitive work on British uniforms in the Middle and Far Easts. I only wait, with ill-concealed impatience, for September when the publishers promise the republication of the authors' first work on the uniforms of the British women's services; then my collections of books on British uniforms of WW2 will be complete

As the title suggests this work covers the uniforms worn by the British forces in tropical regions, personal kit and weapons are illustrated but the emphasis is on clothing of all types. Captions are necessariy brief but highly informative, space being devoted to quality photography rather than long text. If you enjoyed WW11 Tommy you will love this work that covers an untouched field.

I received this book as a gift two Christmases ago. It is absolutely beautiful, illustrating in a dimensional way Anne's world. I am sure that anyone who loves the stories about Anne will appreciate the work that went into creating this book.

I enjoyed this book about a talkative red-head named Anne that gets into many fixes. In this book Anne of Green Gables, the auther L. M. Montgomery, describes Anne and her best friend Diana as two adventurous tomboys who turn into proper young ladies as soon as they're 13 ( at least that's what they say). As the years pass Mathew and Marilla Culthbert, who are the people who adopt Anne in the first place, are growing older. Anne Shirley has a very stong imagination and sometimes forgets what she's doing. I loved this book and recommend it to girls who are very imaginable. I also rate it 10-10. My favorite fix is when Anne dyes her hair green! By:Monica da Silva

Recommended reading for anyone who plans to file a tax return. Also would be valuable for anyone who is interested in the solvency of the Social Security System. The author is able to take us inside the IRS, and tell us what and how the agents are taught to think. He can do this, because he was an agent for three years, until the burden of doing what he felt was morally wrong, became too much to bear. Richard Green has the nerve to ask "What would happen if we scrapped the entire IRS..."(p.121). He then goes on to offer some alternatives that could make such a thing possible. He points out the benefits of exterminating the "IRS' unconscionable abuses and "business as usual" mentality..."(p.128). Not recommended for the faint-hearted.

It's and ideal bedside book, with a great presentation, it touch many different aspects of the coagulation system, the most important points in the formation, evolution and prevention of trombosis, all this with clarity, in a concise way. The autors review every important point between the basics and the clinics, with orientation for the cardiologist. In resume a book for read, learn and love

This is an excellent book that talks about various mathematical tools and its applications for Process Modeling. This start with the very basic funamentals and finishes at the highest level. This is a rare book that describes the theorotical fundamentals of mathematical Derivations in Chemical Engineering unlike other books that majorly contain Numerical Methods

This Reader brings together 17 of the most important and innovative articles written in the first half of this decade on the interaction of business and the natural environment. All but three were previously published between 1991 and 1995; one was not previously published while two were specially written for this collection.

Written by some of the world's leading business and environmental consultants, academics and practitioners, this book examines the role business has played in bringing about the current global environmental crisis. It also maps out the various ways (sustainable development being one of them) in which business can help protect the environment in the future.

All the main issues are covered in the five parts of the book: Perspectives on Business and the Environment Business Strategy and the Environment Research, Development and Technology Techniques for Environmental Improvement Business and the Economy

An editorial commentary and introduction to each part provides a helpful overview and outlines the key issues. Comprehensive lists of sources and recommended further reading are also included. This is an essential reference for undergraduate and postgraduates students of business, management studies and environmental courses as well as environmental managers and consultants.

The weirdest thing about this book is that the beginning is so true-to-life. The book was written several years ago, but the story is very much in sync with what is going on in the world today. This is my fifth Marcinko book and it's one of his best. It's his second fiction work, a follow up to Rouge Warrior: Red Cell, which is the main reason I didn't give it five stars. The action scenes in Green Team are much more exciting than Red Cell, but the plot just doesn't stand up to the latter. It develops at a break neck speed, but its quality fluctuates right up to the end. First time Marcinko readers will probably get hooked, just like I did with Rogue Warrior: Task Force Blue, only to be more pleased with the discovery of his first and second books. Marcinko's crossing of the thin line between reality and fiction might annoy some readers who are not used to his style, but I think it's a very original welcomed breather from the "2+2=4" formulas of other action books. Marcinko is not the writer Tom Clancy is, but then again, Tom Clancy is not the warrior Marcinko is.

Marcinko lives large and plays hard. This book, along with the rest of the Rogue Warrior Series, is hard hitting and action packed. This dude does it all, says it all, and doesn't take crap from no one. Execellent reading for someone whose tired of the slow moving far fetched action of most fiction books out there. I read Red Cell just three months ago, and I've read almost all his books to date. It's KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) read the book and get hooked!!! Anyone for a Bombay?

I'll admit to this guilty pleasure: I love the Rogue Warrior books. Not because they're great literature, but because they're just plain fun. I'm a Marine combat vet, so I can usually detect the (very) fuzzy line between military fact and fiction, but with Marcinko's books I throw up my hands in the amphibious salute and just go with it. Demo Dick's literary swagger is intoxicating, and his larger than life character is THE male archetype. All of us guys want to pump iron at Rogue Manor, throw down the double Bombays, and go shooting and looting with the SEALs' best.

It's not "the best book I've ever read," nor is it the SPECWAR primer that Rogue Warrior is. But for some unadulterated macho fun, Green Team (like the others in the series) can't be beat.

I am looking for someone that knows something about old books like the home garden handbook published in 1927

I am a heavy duty user of Excel and I support users of the application too. This is one of the best books I have seen on Excel's most powerful features. The chapters on array formulas and range names are the best I have read on the subject. This book is outstanding. I am here writing this review because I was hoping to order a copy for work.

One of the excellent book of Excel. However it is out of stock. I lent it from the library and can't find it from any book store. I hope the publisher will re-printed it.

Baxter's time was not too unlike our own. Despite there being a large theological agreement that there must be discipline within the Church, very few leaders in the church are willing to carry it out. Baxter reminds us, and convincingly so, that we must do so for not only the good of the soul of the individual, but for the rest of the Church, and even ourselves. Most of the book rotates around the subject of discipline in the pastoral ministry. It also contains many other details concerning the ministry that would be good for any aspiring, or current pastor to read.

The only reason I give the book 4 stars instead of 5 is because this version is the abridged version of what Baxter wrote years ago. However, there is nothing that would tell you this unless you read the preface. I was a little disturbed upon originally reading the preface that this was the case, and that the original work is closer to 700 pages (depending on margins and type settings). This book has a rather tiny font size, and very little margin, so even though it is only over 100 pages, if it were in the typical type setting you see in most books, it would probably be closer to 3-400 pages.

Also, the ancient Elizabethean english has been revised for the modern reader, which probably accounts for the shorter number of pages.

Don't let any of this distract you from getting this book though, there are still many redeeming qualities to it.

Having been a pastor for almost 25 years I admit to initially being angry when I read The Reformed Pastor some years ago.

"Why didn't someone show this book to me before?" I thought to myself.

How foolish a young minister is who enters the Gospel ministry having been told of Baxter but who refuses to read Baxter.

This Puritan of Puritans was wonderfully gifted by God to be a real pastor.

The wisdom of Richard Baxter's THE REFORMED PASTOR should be required readng for all who are even thinking about going into the ministry. It will make you re-think your calling, and look into your personal conviction to Christ like few other books can. A must read.
