If you have the data but still can't explain your conclusion
then this book is for you. Do you want to know if you were discriminated against, at some confidence level? Do you want to know if the moon phase affects the NASDAQ? If Bush High School seniors score an average of 74 and Gore High School seniors score an average of 73, is Bush High really statistically better than Gore High? These are just a few of the millions of tests that can be done with this book. If you believe in the saying, "In God we trust; all others bring data," then you'll love this book, especailly if you can force your peers to use it.

Very Succinct, Efficient, Applicable & Effective!
This reference text gives busy people at work exactly what they want, the way they want it. They know their data needs, so they look up the clear list of tests to find the test that meets that need, and follow the simple steps to implement it: assumptions, method, equation, and a brief example. No theory, no blabbing, just to the point and ready for use. Saves time, and reading. Also, having so many tests saves the hassle of looking for a specific test somewhere in the library. This is a complete investment!

Carl Schmitt: The Political As Friend-Foe Distinction.
_The Enemy_ provides an excellent and thorough introducion to the life and thinking of the German political philosopher and jurist Carl Schmitt. The book traces the developments in his thoughts from his earliest days as a Catholic schoolchild in the Rhineland to his eventual professorship in constitutional law and his involvement with the Third Reich regime and the subsequent developments in his thought after the Third Reich had fallen. Schmitt is normally considered to belong with the "conservative revolutionaries" such as Ernst Junger, Oswald Spengler, Martin Heidegger, and several other important figures in the Weimar republic prior to the advent of the Third Reich. These thinkers were important for their political and philosophical thought which was firmly opposed to liberalism, bolshevism, and modernism. An important aspect behind Schmitt's thought was his Catholicism (however tenuous that link may have become for him at various moments in his life). Certain interpreters of Schmitt have made the claim that Schmitt's writings can be understood on the basis of a "fundamentalist" Catholicism , in which the crisis in the modern world is perceived in apocalyptic terms involving an encounter between Christ and Antichrist. Schmitt became a jurist and a professor of constitutional law and a great deal of his writing is concerned with the application of his political principles to the legal status of the constitution. Schmitt's thinking is heavily influenced by the German Romantics such as Schlegel and Hegelianism, but also has a Latin character influenced by such Catholic counter-revolutionaries as Joseph de Maistre and Donoso Cortes, as well as the writings of Thomas Hobbes in his _Leviathan_, and the writings of Machiavelli. Perhaps Schmitt is most famous for his understanding of the political in terms of the "friend-enemy" distinction. He outlined this distinction in his famous work _The Concept of the Political_. Schmitt came to occupy a central place in the Third Reich regime and was often regarded as the "Crown Jurist" of that regime. The particular problematic of Schmitt's involvement with the Third Reich and his adherence to certain anti-Semitic beliefs is firmly covered in this book. After the defeat of the Third Reich, Schmitt would come to partially renounce some of his earlier alignment with it; however, he would also come to regard the process of denazification which involved him spending several years in captivity as equally abominable. Much of Schmitt's work focused on a particular interpretation of Thomas Hobbes in hiw book _Leviathan_. Schmitt may have believed in an apocalyptic myth involving an obscure quasi-Messianic figure, the Katechon (see the discussion in the book; but also see Paul's epistle to the Thessalonians where it is explained that the Katechon refers to a "restrainer" who is to come). The book also discusses Schmitt's relationship with the new international order subsequent to the Nazi regime. The importance of Schmitt's thought here in regards to our modern era which is closely coming to approximate a New World Order and a system of international law based in the United Nations (i.e. the League of Nations in Schmitt's time) cannot be overestimated. Schmitt's later works include a book entitled _Land and Sea_ which outlines the differences between land and sea powers and a work entitled _The Law of the Earth_. The relationship between a landlocked continental German power and a seafaring English power rooted in the Calvinistic religion plays an important role in Schmitt's writings. Schmitt's later days were spent in relative obscurity as a figure who was considered anathema by the new intellectuals; however, he continued to write and work and gather a group of students around him. Carl Schmitt is a fascinating figure who encountered the dark side and whose thinking still poses interesting questions for the modern world. His distinction between friend and enemy continues to occupy an important place in the role of political theory and although some on the Left have attempted to usurp his ideas, his ideas remain firmly grounded in the tradition of right wing intellectuals of the conservative revolution. This book provides an excellent introduction and outline of his life and thought and is to be highly recommended to all those interested in this figure.

Jawaharlal Nehru : a biography

Simply Beautiful
This is truly a great biography. Gopal writes with thoughtfulness and class. It tells about the joys and pains in Nehru's life in a original fashion. The insightfulness and portrayal of characters are just too good. The only single drawback I can think of is that there is not a very distinct clarity about events in Nehru's lifespan. But other than that, it's a good read for those interested in Indian politics.


Mapping the Nation (Mapping Series)
Published in Hardcover by Verso Books (1996)
Authors: Gopal Balakrishnan and Benedict Anderson
Amazon base price: $60.00

A Compact History of Nationalism
_Mapping the Nation_ provides a collection of essays reflecting several schools of thought about the complex phenomenon of nationalism. It poses the questions: what is nationalism? how have scholarly perceptions of this phenomenon changed over time? what will it look like in the years to come?

This book provides no easy answers, opting instead for a thought-provoking variety of views; should be read by anyone interested in how national identities are constructed and shaped.

It Gives us Useful Map and Compass for Labyrinth of "Nation"
Very good omnibus book for overviewing the historical and new question on "Nation." Through well-choosen texts from Lord Acton, Bauer to Gellner, Habermas, we can rightly step into the deep forest of the "Nation" and "Nationality" problem, which, we may say, effects even our everyday life. (But there is a regretful thing in this book---Otto Bauer's "Nation" is not a complete translation from the first chapter of his "Die Nationalitaetenfrage u. die Sozialdemokratie," 1924.)

An easy to read book
I found this book useful during last trip to Europe. I have all the information needed from this book to make an appropriate adjustment during the trip. Planning ahead of a trip as Dr. Saha outlined could have an enormous impact on the pocketbook of a traveller. Dr. Saha's suggestions saved us lots of money during our trip and perhaps most importantly the chances of being robbed or cheated. I recommend this book for travellers anywhere.

an easy to read book
I found the book very useful. Before I went for the tour to Europe I bought the book, read it thoroughly and found the book very personal and interesting. My trip to Europe was made easy due to this book. Dr. Saha is a very talented scientific writer but this other side of Dr. Saha as a tour guide can only be appreciated if one reads this book and how he compiled his own experiences throughout the book. I recommemd the book for easy and fast reading.

a story of self guided tour in Europe
This book is very well written and easy to read. I followed this author's travel plans this summer when I traveled to France and surrounding counties and found the book's information to be accurate. I highly recommend this book for any traveler to Europe on his own.

The story of a carrier pigeon.
This book, which won the 1928 Newbery Medal for best contribution to American children's literature, is the story of a carrier pigeon raised in India who is used by a Bengal Regiment in France during World War I. Some aspects of the book appear illogical and I doubt that I would have cared for the book had I read it when I was young. But, I am probably in the minority.

Fly the light fantastic...
Being a bird lover, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It was a little far-fetched, which added to the romance. There was adventure, some excitement, and wonderful insights on bird and animal behavior given by way of the yarn. The author uses English in such an artistic manner that you aren't aware that he wrote especially for young readers. He gives a wonderful perspective on the Great War and life as he knew it as a boy in India. A slant you don't get from history books or tourists. I finished the book with a sense of wishing I had known the author. Now I am going to order the other books he wrote!
