The four Pierson sons, intelligent, and well-educated for their time, originally opposed secession but served their country whole-heartedly in all theaters when the War came.
The letters of three sons are contained here, preserving valuable insights not only of battles and camp life but also frank opinions of the behavior of high officers and politicians. The tenacity of the Piersons, through sickness and wounds and hunger, in a War they didn't welcome, is fine testimony to the courage and patriotism of the Condederate soldier.

C++ Database Applications with the Paradox Engine gives you the tools you need to write professional-quality Paradox business applications. After introducing you to
the Paradox Engine, its advantages, and latest developments, this book offers solutions and complete code for three crucial database functions missing from the Engine
itself: maintaining relational integrity, validity checking, and queries. Through the sample business application presented here, you'll learn how to plan an

object-oriented application; create a user interface complete with drop-down and pop-up menus, scrolling list boxes, data field boxes, buttons, and more; integrate the
Paradox Engine and the user interlace by creating C++ classes for functions the Engine cannot perform; develop C++ classes that maintain the relational integrity of a
record in a multi-user environment; and create C++ classes that do queries.

This book forms a real link between the basic principles of Hydraulics and the most popular hydrology software. It starts by reviewing the most important principles in hydraulics , gives some example problems , and then teaches how to use Haestad Methods software to solve these problems and similar ones. It is useful for Hydrology students and for working engineers.However , you need to study hydraulics first then use this book.The CD-Rom is great. It includes limited educational working versions of the most popular software in Hydraulics field,very useful for learning purposes.This second edition is modified and more useful than the first one.

This award-winning book ("The Best Book in Global Environmental Affairs" according to the International Studies Association) offers an accessible and engaging analysis of the 800 pound gorilla in the living room that environmentalists find difficult to talk about with force: overconsumption. The early portion of the book documents the problem; the middle chunk offers a set of mental lenses for making sense of our quandry; and the final chapters offer real-life stories of actors and movements (the voluntary simplicity movement, for example, and the home power and local currency movements too) challenging the upward escalating trajectory of the consumption of "stuff."

What's especially helpful about the book -- in addition to its "something for everyone" flavor -- is that it moves beyond simplistic prescriptions to "squash advertising" or "buy recycled products." Indeed, it is rather skeptical of these measures, which it tends to view as diversionary activities meant to take our eye off the underlying forces at war with the planet. Instead, it offers strategies for coming together collectively to challenge broader powers and structures that make it so difficult for people worried about the future of the planet to live more with less.

This book focuses on the protestant reformation in England from the time of King Henry VIII to Queen Elizabeth I. It draws extensively from quotes by key persons involved in the Anglican reformation, as well as opponents. The author's conclusions paint a very different picture from many other texts on the subject. Highly recommended.

DePaoli does it again. A real masterpiece of thoughtful insight and reflection into some of history's great political and societal mysteries. DePaoli does a great job of peeling away the shrouds of conspirational silence that envelop some of the the most compelling dramas of our time, like a master chef peeling a pungent onion. What is left is pure genius, a feast for the mind and soul. Though DePaoli styles Dreamstarters as a book (or in this case pamphlet) about political machinations and conspiracies, it is really much more; it is a book about life itself. Bravo, Mr. DePaoli, bravo.

Highly informative. Gives the most complete information possible. Written by one the foremost authorities on early recorded sound. A must have for the "Phonophile".
