This is a great book in the category of muscle-cars and one of the best offered by Amazon.com,however its not recommended for todays youth who werent around when these great cars ruled the roads.To enjoy this book,you need to be at least in your mid to late thirties.This book is not intended for todays teens or early twenties,theyre only permitted to enthuse about todays cars.

This is a great book for the muscle-car lover.Its comprehensive,offers accurate and complete technical specs and great photos of some of the hottest american cars ever produced.This book is recommended only for men 45 years old or older,its not appropriate for these young guys that werent even around when these cars were conceived and built!

I am a muscle car lover through and through and this book has all the info a true muscle car guru could ever hope to find. The pictures are well done and I liked the overall style of the book. I hope to find more like it using amazon.com!

This is a wonderful book which shows how a classical field theory like General Relativity can be derived from a quantum field theory. It also points out the extreme difficulty of accomplishing this in the case of gravity and ending up with a consistent, anomaly free theory.

Readers of this book will benefit from familiarity with both quantum field theory and relativity as well as a certain amount of mathematical sophistication. Don't be fooled by the similarity of title to other "Feynman Lectures on..." because this book is based on an upper level graduate physics course and assumes the background of a typical PhD student in physics.

Deep, complex and difficult going but well worth the effort to see the elegance of the connection between General Relativity and QFT.

Feynman gave a series of lectures on gravitation at a graduate seminar at Caltech in 1962. The lectures were recorded and transcribed by Morinigo and Wagner. A very readable introduction on quantum gravity was added by the editor, Brian Hatfield (whose book on quantum field theory and strings, I also recommend.) This is the only book I've seen which develops GR from a quantum field theory point of view. Feynman's lectures show that the GR field equations result from the requirement of gauge invariance under Lorentz transformations for a massless spin-2 field (i.e graviton). This is a more fundamental approach than the usual differential geometric framework and shows what the equivalence principle really means in terms of fundamental symmetries. Highly recommended for a modern field theory viewpoint of GR.

A must read for musclecar ethuiests.Also recommend that The "Generation X" crowd read, to fully appreciate what a "real car" was. The 442 W=Machines andHurst/Olds are well covered-And they were trully awsome. Just ask GTO owners.

This book is like my secound bible, i refer to it often. Super job in reviews, pictures, graphs, and those great stats that placed Oldsmobiles in a league of there own!

This book provides access to many of the great works on Russian Organized Crime. The book helped to give me a broader and more complete look of Russian Criminal organizations. I would suggest this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about ROC.

While there is some good information in this book, I was expecting more photos, especially of the various Wildcat and Invicta models and the various engine options offered in those vehicles. For instance, not one mention is made of the fact that "445" on a Wildcat engine was not only used in other vehicles, it also stood for the amount of torque the engine put out (and was *not* the cubic-inch displacement). The word "complete" used to describe this book was something of a misnomer...I found some information quite lacking here. Also, the writer(s) seemed a bit befuddled at times, and there are a few instances of incorrect information that have crept into the book. It's also hard to take it seriously where one Buick model is spelled incorrectly throughout the entire book (it's "Centurion," not "Centurian"...plainly visible on the first Centurion photo in the book). In all, there was little, if anything, I didn't already know about Buicks, and I'm far from an expert. For the price, I didn't feel it was worth the money. This one's "almost there," but a small disappointment to a fan of older "big engine" Buicks like myself.

Buick Muscle Cars is a must have for the Buick 'Muscle Car' Enthusiast! and, actually for the Buick Enthusiast in general! From the first Buick Muscle cars like the Century, the Centurian, the Wildcat, and the Riviera...to the Gran Sport Stage 1 and GSX, the Turbo Regal Grand National and GNX...and even a few 'modern day' Buick muscle cars like the late 90's Supercharged Riviera...They are all in this book! Full color pictures and descriptions. There's even special sections on Buick Race Cars, Special Buick Engines, Proto-type Buicks, and Buick Concept Cars!

I just received this book today. It is full of mistakes and misinformation. And I've only begun to read it! So far, I've just read a few paragraphs and all the photo captions. I really like the color photos. But I won't rely on any of the technical information. The Camaro history may be correct. I haven't read it, yet. I don't consider this book a good buy.

another of the few books that gives a great photo shoot and history of the camaro. i personally own a camaro and feel it does a nice job

This is an incomplete book that covers only the basics of "forming" a LLC. Not "maintaining"! I bought this book hoping to learn how to protect my business from lawsuits when litigants try to "pierce the corporate veil". Unfortunately there's NO talk about the formalities of maintaining the LLC. No talk about NOT commingling personal expenses with LLC expenses. No talk about setting up a separate LLC bank account. No talk about having a separate business phone line. No talk about having your web site registered in the name of the LLC. And where's the talk about sufficiently capitalizing the LLC relative to the level of business it generates? Failure to start the LLC with enough capital can make you personally liable to lawsuits. A dime a dozen are agents, lawyers and authors that try to make a buck off of you by getting you incorporated "before the ink dries". Just once I'd like to see someone who goes the whole nine yards by telling the WHOLE story about incorporating. The body of this book is 92 pages long followed by some forms...

I found this book helpful and time-saving. In general, it provides an overview of the limited liability company format, making entity comparisons between LLCs, corporations, and partnerships. It also focuses on specific California issues, such as California (as well as federal) tax angles. The appendices furnish an array of useful forms, some not directly related to LLC formation, but important in the larger business context. Included are state of California Articles of Organization for LLC formation, a model operating agreement, sample minutes of the members' first organizational meeting, an application for reservation of name, a preorganization subscription agreement, a bill of sale agreement, and a medical and dental reimbursement plan. Finally, membership certificates are appended as well and will do the job, but since these are photocopies, most people will want to order fancy custom-printed membership certificates from one of the companies supplying them. Almost all of these items can be tracked down by the persistent but prove especially handy in this one-stop format. One exception is the detailed operating agreement provided, which is invaluable and worth the price of the book alone. I could not have created this essential document on my own without this model. The step-by-step instructions, with filled-in forms as examples, and the appended form archives considerably speeded up the process of formation of my California LLC, if not "before the ink dries!" as the title asserts.

The pictures are excellent, but they are not plentiful, particularly in the case of the '69 and '70 Chevelles. Of course, much attention is paid to Yenko and Baldwin-Motion, as in other similar publications. The text (also in short supply) is well-written. Overall, should be titled "Chevelle-Light".

I was greatly disappointed in this book. The writing style was inconsistent and the layout was visually obnoxious. I mention this because if there was any useful information in this book, the presentation distracted from it incredibly.

The primary points in this book were elementary, and most people could be more creative and productive without this book. I would not recommend this book. If you have a good business plan, have a group of friends read it, take them out to dinner and brainstorm. You will have more fun, and get a better return on investment.

The author(s) of this book are obviously not Pontiac enthusiasts, it would not have taken very much time to have a knowledgable person proof read this short book. Most of the cars are not correct, missing trim, dirty or damaged. The opinions presented are shallow and without merit. There are a few good pictures of royal bobcat decals and a couple of reproduced Pontiac ads making the $12.00 purchase worthwhile to me, but this book is not a source of factual information, in fact I found it very annoying to read.

I read this book in 2 hours, from start to finish. I expected the same dense and complete information as was provided by Paul Zazarine's book on the first generation GTO. Unfortunately this book is based on shallow, superficial and therefore insufficient research. It's a descriptive book, a photo album basically. It basically describes the interior, exterior and engine types of the 1964 to 1974 GTOs. Stuff that any reader could figure out if he or she stood next to a car and took a good look at it. There is very little information on the history or background info on the GTO. Where the author doesn't know the facts he'll just say "due to an unknown reason...".

However, the book contains some beautiful and glossy pictures of gtos. Here again, the work is poor. For example, when the book talks about the 1965 gto, there is only one picture of a 65 and the other photos in the 1965 model chapter are all of 1966 cars. Very few pictures of interiors or different options. There also is some repetitive information meaning that facts will be repeated several times on different pages.

Conclusion : a decent book for a first contact with the goat but for real buffs and people wanting to know more about its history, check out Paul Zazarine's work !
