Kendall Fredrick Person has written one dazzler of a novel. A master of the English language, his words aren't just to be read but savored, talked about and explored. The story evolves around an accident involving a young child and how everyone in his world reacts to the trajedy. While the novel certainly lives up to its title, Person is careful not to offer a tragedy without hope. Ironically, the novel actually is about redemption of the human spirit and the ongoing quest for peace, tranquility and love. There is a host of charaters, from Arizona and Johnnie, the child's parents, to Dave Roberts the leader of a white hate group, Ricky Swift, the leader of a Black hate group and unbelievably, God Almighty himself. Only a novelist who truly understands the craft of writing could combine fact and fiction, hate and love, and redemption and condemnation within the same story without missing a beat. His words literally take a reader inside of the book where you can feel every angry word and are overcome with conviction at the present of the Holy Spirit. This is not a religious novel, but rather attempts to show us how to locate our inner peace even when the world is burning down around us. If Person's latest release doesn't catapult him into mainstream, then this truly is An Angry World.

This is a beautiful book which covers some of Kiefer's best work in painting as well as his photo-montage and book making activities. A small and eloquent tribute and forward leave adequate room for many full color reproductions (some double-paged) of paintings, large black and white photos taken by the artist, photos of installations and performances and reproductions of selections from his book makings. The reproductions are bright and clear and attempt to give you an adequate view of the texture and matter that Kiefer paints with. Kiefer is one of the most prodigious and poetic artists of our time. He stands out individually in our present, sometimes cynical art atmosphere in the age of post-modern theory. These are magical paintings that contain deep myth and meaning. A truly beautiful book on beautiful and revealing art that can change your view of the world.

Professor Daniel H.H. Ingalls, Sanskrit Scholar and Harvard Professor died at age 83, July 21, 1999. I read this book when it first came out in 1965, was amazed by the poetry and his sensitivity to language. I was also (being the callow youth I was then) thoroughly surprised about how much I learned in that book. SANSKRIT COURT POETRY is at once beautiful, enlightening, and romantic, even erotic in a very subtle way. It is a tribute the Dr. Ingalls that it has been reissued these 34 years later. Few poetry books are granted that honor. His certainly deserves it. I look forward to reading it again.

Fantastic Book. Very Thorough and Interesting. Very well written. I highly recommend it!

Much public attention has been focused on Daniel Goldhagen's "Hitler's Willing Executioners" and his claim that the roots of the genocide of European Jews were to be found in the German national psyche. In his critique of Goldhagen's book, David North challenges its depiction of Germany in the 1930's as an internally undifferentiated society, as well as its deeply pessimistic view that the triumph of fscism was inevitable. North points instead to the social roots of anti-Semitism, traces the long and honorable record of the German workers' movement led by socialists in defending democratic the rights of the Jewish people and analyzes the reasons for the failure of the Social Democratic and Communist parties to block Hitler's rise to power.

Knowing little about web servers and nothing about Apache, I was looking for some detailed help installing and configuring Apache. The online docs were no help. I needed something that would explain, at a basic level, what needed to be done to get Apache going.

I found this book very helpful in setting up my server. It covered everything about installing and configuring Apache. Config files were explained in detail. Integration with perl and php were wll covered. I also found the chapters on Security and logging helpful as well.

This book is geared toward Unix servers but also contains specific information for the Win32 crowd. I highly recommend this book.

This is an necessity for hiking the Appalachian Trail- whether you're a section hiker or a thru-hiker. Crucial information- incredibly informative, and helpful in planning the long trek!

If the reader is really serious about hiking the A.T., specifically the N.Y. /N.J. section, this book, along with the 6 very detailed maps that come with it, will be a tremendous help, with all the relevant information all packed into a (large)pocket-sized paperback.
In addition to very interesting facts behind the history and the beginnings of the AT, the information found in this book will guide you, almost hold your hand along the trail and, it will then be up to you to listen to the wisdom, advice and warnings found here or, ignore them and find out -the hard way- why only 10% of the people who attempt to hike the Appalachian Trail will finish it in a year.
Where can you find water?; where are you not allowed to camp?; is it safe to hike alone?;can you take your dog with you? (NO!). Statistically speaking, did you know that you will be safer hiking the entire A.T., than walking the streets of most large american cities?
These and many other topics, too numerous to mention here, are dealt with in this volume.
Having all of that information ahead of time will make it (just a little) easier to put on your backpack, lug your 3 liters of water needed daily, consume the 4000 calories of food needed every day and.....in about 6 months time you will have arrived at your destination, very tired, much thinner and, much wiser.

Cuthbert Daniel had over thirty years of experience consulting on experimentation in a variety of industries in 1976 when the book was written. He learned statistics from many of the great statisticians who were his colleagues, including John Tukey, Stu Hunter, Fred Mosteller, Bill Cochran and Henry Scheffe. As he says, the book is concerned only with confirmatory industrial experimentation where statistical methods can play an important role. He provides sage advice on the steps in planning and choosing a design for a particular experimental situation. Topics included are the factorial designs, fractional factorials, incomplete factorials (including the popular Plackett-Burman designs), trend robust plans and nested designs including split-plot designs. There is no coverage of response surface designs or other exploratory designs.

This is a terrific book that is fun to read. The only drawback is that it predates many of the recent developments such as the robust parameter designs motivated by the work of Taguchi. For a thorough up-to-date treatment see Hamada and Wu (2000) "Experiments" and my Amazon review of it.
