War and Remembrance collects some of the greatest Captain America stories ever told. Creators Roger Stern and John Byrne prove themselves tremendously adept at handling standard superhero fare--Cap slugs it out with robots, vampires, and assorted other supervillains--but they also add a layer of complex characterization, as Cap faces a tough decision about whether he should run for president (really!) and as he meets the nicely fleshed-out members of his Brooklyn Heights supporting cast that played a major role in his life for decades afterwards (and really should continue to do so). All this, plus the definitive Cap origin story. This book is definitely worth getting your hands on.

This is probably the best single text I have ever seen for the practicing physician interested in clinical gastroenterology. The book is practical, clearly written and does not contain a great deal of extraneous material or information of interest only to laboratory scientists. Illustrations and tables are excellent. The text is very up to date. The physiologic descriptions are concise and valuable. All in all a must for any physician who comes in contact with patients who may have digestive diseases.

In 200 pages you can find all the guidelines how to select an implant system, the simple and true method to choose the right patient, and all the cases using the Branemark System. Nice photos but at the end of each section.

Democracy of the Dead: Dewey, Confucius, and the Hope for Democracy in China is an impressive attempt at dialogue between Confucianism and American Pragmatism on the subject of fostering democratic reforms in China. It is both a history of philosophy text, highlighting Dewey's thought and subsequent Pragmatist scholars, liberalism, and Confucianism, and a polemic about the limitations of liberal thought in China. Although some acquaintance with the texts interpreted by the authors is recommended, the authors' synopses are trustworthy and ably and judiciously given. There are also generous quotes and and a and a nine-page bibliography provided.

Admittedly, I was skeptical about the authors' project, which seemed like a desperate attempt to bridge two subjects, pragmatism and Confucianism, that are both equally unprofitable, with a popular item in the news, China. I wanted an appealing interpretation of Confucianism, that would allow me to understand the cultural divide between east and west more easily. I was also interested in any study about pragmatism, which, as the authors also argue, deserves more respect. Last, I wanted a framework to understand Korean and western dialogue, since Korean interpretations of Confucianism are also relevant to Chinese reform historically, and are also a factor in Korea's relations with western countries. The book satisfied my demands more than satisfactorily.

Some readers may be angered by the authors' use of Deweyan Pragmatism to criticize traditional liberalism, but the authors have good reason. Dewey did have a small role in Chinese educational reform before the Communist Party assumed control in 1949. Dewey, and pragmatism in general, are both better exemplars of distinct American realities than liberalism. Also, using pragmatic terms, the authors couch Confucian concepts in a way more palatable and approachable.

The authors argue, that a Confucian interpretation of democracy is possible. This Confucian democracy is useful as a tool for political reform. And then, by using Deweyan thought, it is possible for Chinese and American reformers to share ideas for reform in both countries. The book, therefore, is ultimately a practical one.

The authors eschew nationalistic and philosophical bias, which is necessary for productive dialogue. This is not a book that celebrates western values over eastern ones. It has relevance also in Korea, yet, ironically, it will not convince Americans of the need for reform in their own country, especially if readers refuse to abandon implicit faith in liberal thinking. This is not a book about dead things, but a very lively, well-written, timely offering..

It's more than just an Spiritual Book. It's a very practical guideline to LIVE BY. I have been keen reader of most of John-Roger's books, and this one sumarizes all the basic tools and guidelines that only through years of experience you could ever gather in a single life time. When reading his titles, I have always wonder what's next to experience, since each one of them has left me with a sense of wholeness that seems there is nothing more to search for, but then again, there always IS.

Great book! Shows delightful examples of pushing form and function of design. A must have in any design book collection.

This is the biography of Earl Rogers, the famous Los Angeles California lawyer from the turn of the last century. The author was a Hearst reporter and columnist for many decades, and Earl Rogers' daughter. It contains no pictures of the many people mentioned in the book, and no index. Yet it is worth reading for education as well as entertainment.

Earl Rogers was the real person who was the model for the fictional "Perry Mason". (ER also had a young lawyer on his staff named Paul Drake.)

Earl Rogers had a number of firsts: the introduction of ballistic evidence, the use of scale models, charts, and blackboards in the courtroom, etc. His advertised motto was: "Call us and keep your mouth shut", as true today as a century ago. He participated in many famous trials, and would win because of detailed study of the facts and testimony, and sometimes by finding overlooked witnesses and evidence. Unfortunately, his drinking limited and put an early end to his career (like some other trial lawyers).

Mr. Letcher's letters were written in a style that gives the reader a "visual" description of pre World War II China. Although some of his opinions may not be politically correct by todays standards, I think he honestly expresses his feelings of the people and surroundings at the time. Some of his predictions regarding the upcoming war are almost right on--however his prediction that California would eventually be captured by the Japanese happily did not come true. Regardless of Mr. Letcher's personal opinions, his letters are well written and gives the reader the feeling of being there. A good story. The editors did a great job of keeping the story on track, and the footnote information was very informative (Their references led me to several other publications which I subsequently read). The copy I read was from the public library. I plan to buy the book for my collection in the near future.
