well organized and detailed manual for the oncology nurse.

This book is one of two core books, the other being the Narrarator's Guide. This book is full-color, with pictures from the original Star Trek all the way through Voyager and Enterprise. It has just about every gadget you've ever seen, and some you haven't, available to characters. Classes include Trader, Rogue, Starship Officer, Warrior, etc. If you're a Star Trek fan and enjoy roleplaying, do yourself a favor and get this book!

This is a truly remarkable story. Russian fur traders moving down the west coast in search of more Otter (only a few years after Lewis & Clark headed home from Oregon), their ship wrecked on the Olympic Peninsula. The sailors escaped the wreckage only to have their women, including the captains wife captured by local American Indians. By the time the ships captain and men come up with a plan to rescue the women, the women do not want to go back with the sailors! The story is historically accurate, and has been retold here from Russian ship logs and the Quinalt oral history of the event. It is a fun one to read.

An interesting if somewhat heavy read! A very detailed account of the political history surrounding not only the Concorde but the rise (& fall?) of the SST projects. Whereas other Concorde books (such as the excellent one by Brian Trubshaw) looked at the developmental trials, tribulations & achievements from an engineering point of view, this book puts an entirely different slant on the whole SST ideal. It looks at how the changing economic, environmental & social attitudes impacted on the course of the SST, and the effect they had on the political manouvering of the time. Much of the earlier chapters are devoted to the one-sided political push to form a UK/US collaboration. Later chapters are devoted to the desperate efforts made at gaining landing rights at New York, while the final chapter examines future prospects for a new SST, although here the book is beginning to show its age.

This book is seriously good if you're in to international politics, cultural devides between Britain, France and America and how to stifle a good scientific idea.

However, the detail that the author has included is at times heavy going and if you want information on this great and controversial aircraft I would recommend you read other books on the subject.

If you are fascinated by how people can get in the way of progress for no good reason... buy it now.

Comprehensive yet very readable account of the political battle fought to establish a supersonic transatlantic Concorde service.

Interesting nuggets throughout.

Recommended.

The author relies on Austin's newspaper (no longer in print) called the Reese River Reveille to describe what every day life in Austin was like, from its founding in the 1860s to about the 1950s. Most of the book focuses on the 1860s, when Austin was founded as a mining town. The book then discusses its growth and development, the struggles of its inhabitants in an isolated location, and the hopes for Austin's own "place in the sun" as a premier western town.

The book is easy to read and very enjoyable. Having spent about a month in Austin this summer, I was pleasantly surprised to find this book in my college's library. Recommended for anyone interested in frontier history.

I regret to say that Ken Bundrum's book, The Fighting Stevensons, is the worst Civil War book that I have ever read. Here are just a few of the reasons:

1. Bundrum never makes it clear whether this is a work of fact or fiction although it occassionally implies that it is factual. ("This book," it begins on page 1, "presents a story of the wartime activities of Georgia's Seventy-second Regiment and of the people who formed and officered it, who were kinfolk.")

2. The book is unedited and has many spelling errors.

3. The book contains at least one major plagiarism: a letter "from" Bundrum's ancestor (Kyle Stevenson) about the Jefferson Davis inauguration was actually written by Confederate Congressman Augustus R. Wright. Yet Bundrum fails to credit the source and misleads the reader to think that it was written by Stephenson (see pages 4 and 5).

4. Bundrum repeatedly makes major errors in Civil War unit composition and designations. He apparently doesn't know the difference between battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions, and corps, the number of men forming a company, that infantry regiments didn't have "cavalry" components, that legions were broken up early in the war, etc. See page 27 for numerous examples. Page after page afer page filled with mistakes of this sort.

5. The Stevensons supposedly joined the 72nd Georgia Infantry Regiment. There was no such thing. The highest unit designation for Georgia infantry regiments was the 66th. This inaccuracy is fine for a work of fiction, but again Bundrum seems to present this book as a historical account of his ancestors service in the Confederate army.

6. Bundrum frequently places the Stevensons in positions actually occupied by other people. As just one example, on page 29 Bundrum places "Captain Sam Stevenson's" artillery in support of Col. Emory F. Best, 23rd Georgia Regiment, near Catherine's Furnace during the Battle of Chancellorsville. While Best's regiment was indeed there, it was actually Col. James Thompson Brown's two artillery pieces that came to Best's aid.

7. The writing style is that of a middle school book report. Thus, if the book is fiction, it's simply bad reading. If it's supposed to be factual, it's filled with the errors referenced above and at least that one major instance of plagiarism.

Pity the poor student or Civil War researcher who thinks this book is biographical and uses it for reference. Pity anybody who pays $8.00 for this book.

I personally enjoyed the book for what I believe it was intended to be, and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys stories about the Civil War.

An outstanding book , so exciting I couldn't put it down. This is the best book on the glory and tradgedy of war since " Marine Sniper" by Carlos Hathcock. From start to finish you will be captivated by Bundrum's literary style. You will not only read of human suffering but truly feel it as the Stevenson's ride to glory against overwhelming odds. I felt so in touch with General Stevenson's suffering while trying to repel the federalist invaders. The only story that can compare in human courage and hardship is Hemmingway's " The Old Man and the Sea". This book is a must read for all patriotic Americans. Colonel James Foster U.S. Army Retired
