Excelent book for making your organization ISO 9000 compliant

This book is fantasic! EASY to read and follow the directions. Colorful, simple photographs and diagrams guide you through each project. I am sorry it is out-of-print. I found it in our school library! A must for teachers!

A good book that describes in some detail the development of wild weasels, associated gears and tactics. Traces development through veitnam to more current times. Good coverage of topics related to WW history and development and some Airforce / Navy politics. Good for the casual readers with no engineering background to follow and understand. For engineers or researchers this will provide a good general background and introduction into this field.

I worked in the field of EW for 9 years, and so I am very biased about this book, but I am also a harsh critic on books about this topic. I found the book to be a great intro to what exactly electronic warfare is and how it is used on the battlefield. Stories abound, terms are explained, and the writing is in a friendly style. I did find it strange that the book is called "Iron Hand", the term the USN uses, and the front cover photo is of USAF F-16CJs. The USAF uses the term "Wild Weasel".

This book has some of the most practical advice I've ever seen for people that have no clue about how to build a home! A very good guide and reference - highly recommended!

"Practical Housebuilding for Practically Anybody" describes the steps needed to build your own home: from the decision to self-buld, the design, permits, construction skills, and understanding the systems (floors, walls, roof, windows, doors, plumbing, and electrical) that make up a house. It contains detail and encouragement for the first-timer and a humorous and enlighting account of the author's own house building for the more experienced. I'm looking in Amazon to replace my worn-out copy.

This, folks, is the reference book for my A Level Students.

A Level is the main exam route taking in the UK for entry into Universities.

The continual rapid development of computer technology means it is a nightmare trying to keep up with terminology and acronymns. This glossary has the defintions the examiners will accept. Very useful when different text books all have their own definitons.

The 4star rating rather than 5 is a reflection of the date of issue of this glossary. There must be another one on its way soon, we sure need it.

I feel more than able to comment on this book, as a current student of Braddon-Mitchell's - Philosophy of the Mind course, run at the University of Sydney, Australia. Not only that, but I'm using it as a reference this instant in writing some research material.

This is of course a good reference for students but it has its flaws. I would not wholeheartedly recommend it to the novice philosopher or undergrad student. Not before browsing some other materials.

The book itself is based almost wholly on the way that David would run his course. In fact it does, they mirror one another almost totally. I have followed the course and examined the book and they coincide more than neatly. Whilst this is essentially dynamic, this is where its imperfections may show themselves.

As a lecturer might, there is philosophical bias and a tendency to forget that the subject matter itself is not independent. One might feel at times, that you are being taught the Right theory. There are critiques, but standing from an established point of analysis. I do not feel that it is engaging as Braddon-Mitchell is in his courses and certainly, it can be swamped in some vague sentences. It will require close reading or a good background in the discipline.

It is comprehensive book though, very in depth and reaching to the full extent, matters of cognition. I provide my criticism not to attack the book, but often with reviews, all that is mentioned is its content.

Rather than treating Philosophy and Psychology as diverse subjects it is quite refreshing to see that there are still authors who introduce the subject of the mind to students of Psychology as the deep and absorbing subject that it really is, and show that they do still walk hand in hand, no matter how scientific one of them may have become. Even though David Braddon-Mitchell and Frank Jackson appear to assume that their readers have a grounding in Philosophy as well as Psychology, they do so in a way which would encourage a mere novice to widen their knowledge, this will therefore make the subject of Psychology far more interesting and forfilling, and thereby make the complicated subject of the Human Mind more clear. It is additionally encouraging by the inclusion of a comprehensive glossary so eliminating over-referencing like other texts, but at the same time leads inquisitive students into fresh fields where they can 'graze' on the klnowledge of the subject to their heart's content. Each school of Philosophy is clearly expalined and compared to it's sister, and subjectively ctitisied. It moves from the pre-history of contemporary Philosophy of Mind - Dualism and Behaviourism, and early versions of the identity theory of mind, through discussions on functionalism in its many varieties, consciousness and quili, instrumentalism and the autonomy of Psychology, to topics such as eleminative materialism, individualism and the problems of content and representation. The text according to the authors, was viewed by students of the Philosophy of Psychology before printing, this gives an air of originality to the book, which in turn would be an ideal undertaking for other authors of literature relating to the ever complex subject of Psychology. The nature and level of the discussion within the covers of the book make it and ideal foundation for any undergraduate, and graduate, course in both Psychology and Philosophy. This book is an up-to-date introduction to, and account of, the transition of Philosophy from a dry and sometimes non-understandable subject to a cognitive science where investigation of theories is possible. It clearly provides students of Psychology, and Philosophy, with a clear and coherant picture of the human mind, which can only be expanded.

This book, like Kim's intro to phil. of mind, is very helpful to anyone getting acquainted with the topic. Its presentation on fuctionalism is better than Kim's. Moreover, it includes a chapter on eliminative materialism. Good presentation and useful bibliography. Kim's book is more specific, but this one is extremely helpful too. The two of them, together with Rosenthal's collection of articles, make a very good start-trio to phil. of mind.

This is the fourth novel of the Inspector "Jacko" Jackson series. As usual, I have read it out of sequence and it is the first that I have encountered. Jackson is a detective of the Major Crimes Squad and has been assigned a tantalizing Police Constable to investigate the murder of a tv producer, Penny Browne. Penny Browne is the sister of Russell Browne who happens to be a rising political star of the Tory party. Penny, unlike her conservative brother, was much further to the left and was planning on doing a documentary that would be damaging to Russell's career. Throw in the fact that Penny was having an affair with a married man who happens to be Russell's greatest political opponent. The plot is complex and there are many surprises and twists and turns. The novel is highly political in nature and as I am not very familiar with the ins and outs of British political history it can be daunting at times. But you will enjoy the various police characters and their interactions. The major players in the novel are well developed and it is a thoroughly enjoyable police procedural.

The misleading title suggests that this is a book for anyone who owns a border terrier, but it is primarily aimed at those interested in competitions. It includes an extensive dscription and history of borders which breeders might find useful, but this is not a book for owners of companion dogs.
