Mostly oriented for the Suzuki Samurai, this book covers almost everything about the Samurai Machenics, and explains it on simply and easy way to follow.

The manual goes into the motor well. It is easy to follow. The photos are pretty poor though. It really lacks information on tranfer cases and differentials. if you are only going to remove the components and replace them it is fine, but thats is far as it goes.

I have read this book several times and have encouraged others to read it. It is a love story for all time. Beautifully portraying Priscilla and Aquila and their time spent together in support of Paul. Today's modern woman might at first bristle at the thought of a woman eating separate from the man and some of the other customs decribed from the time. However, when the reader takes the deeper look and puts the story in perspective of the New Testament time and culture in which it is written, the incredible love story woven between these two will permeate your own relationships and enlarge your heart.

"Priscilla and Aquila" is an amazing book full of romance, history, adventure, and a correct portrayal of two Biblical characters that you only see a quick glimpse of in Scripture. Lois T. Henderson did wonders with this book, making the young couple become real people who went through many trials and tribulations beyond their control. Set in the days of the Apostle Paul's 2nd missionary journey, the author gracefully weaves history and Biblical truth into an intriguing novel. The book begins in the city of Rome, then Corinth, and finally Ephesus, where Priscilla and Aquila glean from Paul's teaching. The three missionaries travel together, work together, and share the common bond of being Jehovites and Followers of the "Way". While reading the book you see a completely different perspective on Paul, his life and ministry for Jesus Christ. It portrays not only Paul's fervor in his ministry but also Priscilla's love for learning and teaching. This book gives so much insight into God's Word and provides several special examples of those who lived to honor God and devoted their very beings to serve Him by stepping out on the limb of strong faith. I definitely recommend this book to those of you who really want to dig deeper into Scripture, who want to experience a book that not only provides incomparable entertainment, but also enlightens an amazing passage of God's Word with two very special, unknown characters.

Henderson begins with a description of Japanese haiku, its form and the "rules" pertaining to its composition. There is the visual appearance of the poem in three lines with the first line having five syllables, the second seven, and the third five. The poem must contain some reference to nature. The poem is specific in the sense that it refers to a particular event, and the event is happening now, not in the past. (p. 14) Additionally, it is often the practice to reference or allude to a time of year by season. Thus "the blossomed-covered hill" would indicate spring, falling leaves fall, snow winter, and long days of sunlight summer.

Americans who appreciate and write haiku are aware of the first requirement about the form of the poem, and they are fairly clear that haiku that does not refer to nature is not really haiku. But the other rules are more often observed in the breach if at all. Thus American haiku can be and sometimes is about most anything (causing great horror to purists!). For example, recall Richard Brautigan's "Haiku Ambulance":

A piece of green pepper fell
off the wooden salad bowl:
so what?

which makes fun of haiku that fail. Note that strictly speaking it is not haiku. It is a clever short satirical poem.

Henderson observes that even in purest Japanese haiku "one haiku in 25 does not have a strict 5-7-5 form." Of course in translation it is far better to convey the poetic qualities and meaning of the haiku than to attempt a slavish adherence to the syllabic rule. Thus this translation of haiku by Basho:

On a withered branch
a crow has settled...
autumn nightfall

sacrifices the syllabic rule while maintaining the three lines, which is usually the way translation is done, and usually the way American haiku is written. One of the reasons for this is that syllabication in Japanese is different from syllabication in English and that furthermore there are in Japanese kireji ("cutting words") that are "primarily verbal punctuation marks" that are difficult to translate directly. (p. 33)

I could go on, and it would be fun to do that, delving into nuance and technique, the appearance of emotion in haiku, etc., but it is enough to suggest the depth of Henderson's intense little book. He details the evolved differences between the form in the two languages and then gives tips on writing and teaching haiku. If you are going to teach haiku at any level, primary to college, you certainly will find this book valuable. If your intent is just to learn and appreciate, Henderson's effort will afford you a better appreciation. If you are a poet yourself, the book is fun because it shows you how others have practiced the form and goes into the experience with a number of examples. The subtleties of expression are as arcane, quaint and beautiful as one would expect from such a venerable fine art form, and it is useful to acquaint oneself with them, even while transgressing a few here and there!

Bottom line: pithy, elegant, and practical. This is one of my favorite books on haiku and one that I found valuable when I taught haiku in my high school English and creative writing classes.

Henderson, a college professor at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, has done a great service by writing this scholarly and readable chronicle of the late Georgia Governor Ellis Arnall's political career. Arnall was Governor of Georgia from 1943-47, a time which saw various political controversies and accomplishments. Henderson arranges the various events of Arnall's term in a thematic manner, dealing with Arnall's fight to obtain fairer freight rates for the south, the "three governor's controversy of 1947", and Arnall's refusal to fight against the Supreme Court decision that overturned Georgia's "whites-only" primary.

While stressing that Arnall was much more progressive and liberal than his political opponents, Henderson doesn't shy away from exposing Arnall's flaws and his support for much of the segregationist stance of the time. Of course, no Georgia politician in the time period could have been elected state-wide who didn't support segregation, and Arnall's failure to be as much of a rabid race baiter as Talmadge and others effectively killed off his political career after 1947. All of this is presented effectively in the book, along with Arnall's support of education, his friendship with Henry Wallace, and his post gubernatorial career as a businessman, attorney, author, speaker, and his failed 1966 campaign for governor.

I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in southern history, and Georgia history in particular. As I stated earlier, Professor Henderson has penned a well written and informative biography of this important Georgia politician.

Although Henderson's book is out-of-print (originally published in 1958), and his translations are stylistically out-of-date (i.e., rhymed English haiku), this is an essential, pocket-sized anthology. Henderson intersperses his chronological presentation of haiku, in both transliterized Japanese (romaji) with English translation, by major historical masters with analysis throughout. I am on my second paperback -- the first fell apart from constant use!

I have rarely encountered better translations of Haiku. Henderson brought the extended meanings of the words across. Double and triple entendres, startling juxtapositions, contextual clues, everything. These are not mere literal translations--they work on multiple levels to extend the meaning of the poetry, to reflect the possible readings by literate Japanese readers.

Poetic translation is an art that requires deep understanding of two languages, poetic heritages, and metaphorical/imagistic libraries. Henderson's translations are unique in their quality.

An excellent supplemental manual for understanding, diagnosing and repairing brake systems found on late model American cars. A lot of in depth info on anti-lock systems. Excellent illustrations and typical Haynes hints and tips for the DIY home mechanic.

All I want to see is the picture of a Kawasaki VN750 (1988)

this book is a good book for people who love to fix there cars and also for people who are in love with the VW Beetle.

The problem with this book is that it tries to cover a wide range of models in one book. The book gets into the details only to subject the "do it yourselfer" to a surprise i.e the component that they speak of in the book is, either not there in your vehicle or is not at the location where they state in the book. Needless to say working on a typical installation becomes a bit of a guessing game since you do not know what awaits you. The book definately does not cover all inline six models from 1984 to 1996, my truck is 1995 and it don't look anything like what them folks at Haynes are talking about.I wish somebody at Haynes would read this and straighten it out for me.

I've always like the Haynes manuals, but this manual is often wrong. For example, the book said to tighten my rockerarm cap bolts to 19 foot pounds, but the correct specification in 19 inch pounds! Now I have to buy new push rods and hope thats the only damage that was done.

Also, not all the parts mentioned in the book are actually on the car! And it's darn frustrating when the pictures don't match.

I think the best approach would be to have two manuals to compare against each other. Haynes is always the first I'll look to, but from now on I'm going to keep a Chiltons handy.
