I have read this book at least 20 times. The story never fails to amaze me.

Matt explains what a lot of us went through. This book should be one used in schools to teach about the War in Vietnam. I was in the Blues of A Troop 9th Cavalry in 1966. Very well done, Matt.

One of the best books I have read. Matthew Brennan takes you though his personal accounts of his life in Vietnam. It will make you come away of a new appreciation for what our soldiers have done for this country. It will make you want to thank every military person you ever meet.

I received an early release copy of Digital Dimensioning by someone at the McGraw-Hill company, it has become my bible over the past month. As someone who is attempting to implement an ebusiness model in a brick and mortar company this book has all the right moves!! Its a resource those of us who have been out of school for the past twenty years can understand. Digital Dimensioning has become this old captains co-pilot through the often confusing and frustrating world of ebusiness.

Digital Dimensioning is an excellent tool that transforms the glorified myth of the Internet into a tangible process for managers operating in any sector. While explaining the usefulness of the Internet, a business tool with the potential to improve performance and efficiency, the book does an excellent job revealing the process to achieve digital success.

The case study format the book utilizes is ideal for novice and experienced technology users. Analyzing both successes and failures of established companies; the authors give concrete examples for managers depicting the need to strategically fit digital technology into the context of any business. Furthermore, introducing the digital dimensioning process confirms the necessity to continually access the value of technological applications within the organization.

Digital Dimensioning is an excellent tool for individuals seeking to incorporate the value-added potential of the Internet to their business. I highly recommend this information source as a method to maximize ebusiness opportunities.

The Certo team does a wonderful job of writing a "post dot-com" book on how to do business in the Digital Economy. This book is not just another "new rules," but an in-depth look at how E-business IS business in today's marketplace. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and will recommend it my colleagues.

This book is GREAT! It tells you almost everything you need to know about dogs, if not all of it. If you are looking for info on dogs this is the book for you

I love dogs but don't own one yet! But, this book gave me ALL the information I need to buy, care for and own a dog. You don't need to look anywhere else if you are looking for a Tell-All Book! EXCELLENT Illustrations!

I am not sorry one bit. I absolutely love the book. It is the best book anyone that has a dog or thinking of getting one could get. I am so pleased. And you will be to. I have A German Shepherd Puppy And now I can care for her better than before I got the book.

Hey, thanks Matt, for another hilarious episode in the life of the now-well-off, but still neurotic Jacob Burns . This book was much funnier than the first and well worth the long wait.

The plot runs fast and straight forward. All the characters, whether you hate them or love them, are colorful and interesting. The rapport between Jacob and Tony is great. Can't wait to see them in November.

A funny, fast paced mystery. This book is even better than the first, which was great. It is a very engaging read and quick to finish. Perfect for the beach or a long airplane ride. The story moves along quickly which makes it a challenge to second guess the main character and fun to not have to wait too long to find out who done it!

Witten's huge talent for storytelling makes this a one-sitting read. He reveals information at just the right time in just the right order to keep us reading... and guessing. Filled with memorable and original characters. A great second installment in what I hope will be a long-running series.

This is a great book that chronicals the experiences of an array of Vietnam Vets. My dad's story is in this book!

With the exception of a few errors this book is a must read for those who want to try to understand something about a very elite unit, the 9th Cavalry. I was in the Blues in 1966. I was a squad leader and the assistant platoon sgt. On occasion I was the platoon sgt. Never have I met a finer bunch of men who endured the trials of their home on the wire at night followed by running through the jungle the following day. I still wonder how we maintained ourselves, that is, staying awake on the wire and running the jungle. It was impossible to do what we did without sleep but we did it anyway. What the book describes between the Blues and the pilots is very true. We were united in a common goal. I think that goal was to destroy the enemy and go home alive. I personally know that when the lift pilots dropped us Blues on the ground they bided their time in agnony waiting for the call to saddle up and retrieve the Blues, and bring us home. This book describes how the pilots protected the Blues as much as humanly possible. Well done, Matt.

While not as good as "Brennans War", it's a great book.

Wonderful news ... a new edition of this book will be released in paperback ..., available through Amazon.
Birkin completed the book when adapting the story of J M Barrie for a BBC mini-series, The Lost Boys. As well as writing Peter Pan, Barrie was in his time, regarded as a playwright the equal of George Bernard Shaw. That his work quickly fell out of favour may be due to its pathos and close relation to Barrie's own life.
I stumbled across this book over ten years ago, and its poignancy, honestly and power have been with me ever since.
It centres around the Llewelyn Davies family, which became the inspiration for Peter Pan, but went on to have an even more profound impact upon the life of the melancholic Scottish playwright.
As one of the protagonists later wrote, the masses of photographs (extensively reproduced in the book) seem to foretell the whole sad story. Indeed, Birkin's strength is allowing the story to unfold through letters, images and quotation from Barrie's surprisingly autobiographical work. What emerges is the finest of biographies. Peter Pan acquires a whole new sad significance in the light of this book, and it captures the fading Edwardian twighlight exquisitely.
Upon the death of the last of the Llewelyn Davies boys (after first publication), the majority of the material used in the book was bequeathed to Birkin, a ringing endorsement of his sensitive and perceptive retelling of the story.
I cannot recommend this book too highly.

I first read this book roughly ten years ago. It is still one of my all-time favorites. The beautiful and tragic lives of the Llewellyn-Davies family, and their beauty caught in intimate pictures, reminds one of the Romanovs. This book is a very loving, close portrait of the relationship between JM Barrie--the playwright of Peter Pan (and numerous other plays and books)and an Edwardian family composed of five charming, beautiful, intelligent boys. The boys' parents (one of whom is the daughter of George du Maurier [author of Trilby] -- the boys' cousin is Daphne du Maurier) both die young, leaving them orphans in the care of JM Barrie. The book contains astonishingly beautiful photographs, diary entries, letters, etc. The truth of the story gives it a charm and tragedy mere fiction lacks. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Barrie must be one of the 20th C's most under-rated and misinterpreted writers. This beautiful and haunting book helps interpret his writing, especially that maudlin classic of hopeless nostalgia Peter Pan. Look in this book beyond the fragile elegance of the Edwardian world, and the beautiful children frozen forever in time by Barrie's camera and there's tragedy. Everyone, Arthur, Michael, Jack and especially Barrie himself comes to a sticky end. It well illustrates that old morality tale: be very careful about what you wish for -it may come true. I agree it's a tragedy this book has slipped out of print.

I really enjoyed this book, although it is not my favourite BSC book.I liked the way Ann Martin made Claudia's personal experience reflect her family expierience. Claud eventually realizes thet the way she feel s about a girl in her class is the way her Aunt,Peaches,feels about claud. Not the best BSC book i have read but still very very good. You'd be mad not to read it!

it's very funny and entertaining for a book that came later in the series and as we all know the books that came later in the series were never as good as the older ones so yeah bottom line it's a good read

Yeah!!! One of my favorite characters has a new cousin! How exciting! My two cousins were born last year and I'm soooo happy! I enjoyed spending my time with them and with my aunt and uncle. It was great. It's too bad that Claud fought with Peaches. She must feel upset. Do they get a long again? You'll find out when you read CLAUDIA AND THE WORLD'S CUTEST BABY. You'll love it!

Gale provides the better part of what is required to get a sense of the Dada movement. Other books on the subject provide a more concise and readable narrative of the subject, but Gale's book is full of illustrations that offer a good feel for the works created in the various Dada cities and periods. Not definitive, but close enough.

this am a beautiful book, one of the best book of Dada and Surrealism, it. very well writen and it many pictures ^.^ must for any it fan.

R. stood up and looked at the tree. 'Poor thing', he thought, little realising that the tree could sense this, and was currently thinking 'Poor thing' back at him, in tree language. 'This is not the tree we are looking for', said R. to no-one in particular. 'We do not need to uproot this tree', he said. He snapped out of it. The tree had lost the battle of wits. In the distance, a crowd of other trees watched. It was all they could do, really, being trees. He waited. Time passed. J. Gordon fired up the Land Rover. 'Right - I'll stick it into 'low' and just hit the pedal - I don't think we need to do anything smart, or anything. It's a small tree'. J. felt a sense of destiny surge through him. Perhaps, he thought, we should have bought a tractor. None of his friends owned tractors, and he didn't know where to get one from. It wasn't the kind of information they taught in school. Perhaps they taught it in country school, maybe. J. wished he had grown up in the country. It was so very peaceful out here. Not counting the Land Rover, of course. The Land Rover was painted green, though, and J. felt that this counterbalanced its inherent un-natural... ness. Unnatural. Non-naturalness. He thought for a moment. Un-naturalité. Breathe in... 'Hey, guys', he shouted over the din of the engine, although being a modern Land Rover it wasn't all that noisy, as, even though the makers prided (proud?) themselves on being gritty and brutal in the way that 'Taggart' was when Taggart was still in it, they had moved with the times without appearing to pander exclusively to urban customers. Breathe in again. 'Hey guys', J. shouted, 'how do you say it, if something is unnatural, but that's like something that it has as a thing about it?' R. turned from his mental battle of wills with the tree and looked quizzically at J. as if J.'s mouth had just vomited a string of nonsensical blood-stained snot. 'Wha?', he said. 'Wha?' is a bit like 'What?', but with a big bucket of incredulity fed into the mix. 'You heard', said J. R. was puzzled. This kind of question reminded him of the kinds of questions he got at work. Like 'how do you think it would be if... when we introduce some kind of co-branding solution on this channel... any suggestions?' 'Do you... want to know if something... is unnatural?' he offered, tentatively. J. shook his head. 'I know what is unnatural. The Land Rover is unnatural', he shouted. Yes, I know that too, thought R. The British car industry has produced some extremely unnatural products, he thought. Unnatural people make unnatural things. He imagined a factory somewhere in the Midlands, full of human-sized amoebas slaving over a production line to produce a car made out of small metal models of Norman Wisdom. 'Young people like Norman Wisdom. They do. Let's market it as a cute, fun, small car', says the head of the plant, a big transparent blob with a barely-visible black dot where its heart would be if it was a person and not a blob. 'We shall call it the Kingoddingstroke Blechamat -a catchy name, and we will fill it with cyanide, a substance which young people like, and we will sell it for a million billion gazillion pounds in a single shop in the middle of Iceland, but only to five people who we shall choose from a national database of double-agents, and then we shall ask them if they like it, and if they do, we shall take the car back from them, break it, and spray it in a bright yellow colour before throwing it into a hole'. R. used to work in the motor industry, and had bad memories that he was trying to smother. Most of them involved thick-headed people acting as if nothing was wrong, in such an obvious way as to suggest that something was wrong.

'And I want to say that it has 'unnatural' as a property of itself - what kind of thing is that?', said J. again. J. could not understand how anybody could fail to understand this. R. liked trashy Europop records. He had heard that kind of mangled English before in countless up-beat, quirkily-translated lyrics. 'Emotions are vibrations at the speed of light!' he said, smiling inwardly. J. was puzzled. 'What?' This went on for a bit and in the end they never worked out what the other was going on about.

Dance has once again developed a useful shell book for the beginner. Excellent specimens are shown in full color photos. Some basic info on depth different species and habitat is also given. I have two problems with the book that provent me from giving it 5 Stars. First are the locality maps. The text lists accurate locality but the maps are way off. For example a species only found in the Philippines is shown as occurring across the whole Indo-Pacific. A novice or someone who isn't so hot in geography is going to have problems with that. Second, I wish they had more represenative species. It's a little thin in the diversity of shells. Overall though a useful starter.

However, I was a little annoyed at the scarcity of the other regions in the book,mostly because I was interested in finding out about the shells within the area in which I visit to go shelling. However, I thought it was a wonderful first-field-guide with excellent color pictures, specific descriptions, indication of common\uncommon, and the size of the shells.

This has to be one of the most useful books I have bought. The photography is very clear. The colors are also good. Best of all I can see all of this without my bifocals.

I liked this book. BUT I would like to say, to ANYONE, that Ann has no idea about Aus. I have never in my life heard anyone say "Bonza Sheila" or "laid one on" so, if you read a BSC book about Aus, we are not the cave people they make us seem.

Along with "Stacey and the Bad Girls," this is perhaps my favorite BSC book. I must say I still love this series even though it is old now and many of the books are hard to find-in new copies, anyway. Farewell, Dawn is sad, but somehow I like sad books. The cover is cool. (I love Dawn's outfit!) Dawn is one of my favorite (if not my actual favorite) baby sitter(s). She is very excellent (very excellent? does that sound right? I like to say it anyway.)...She was one of the best characters in the whole series...

I love Dawn and this book.Dawn has been missing california more than ever.Especially now that her best friend,Sunny in California needs her.Dawn must face the facts,while she loves Connecticut,her heart is telling her to return to California permanently.But it sure isn't easy.It is tough to hear her friends talk about replacing her in the BSC.Even worse,Dawn can't figure out how to break the news to Mary Anne.How can she tell her best friend and stepsister that she wants to leave,forever?
