design, process variation effects on circuits, and time borrowing. What is missing? Sections on sequential circuit design, transistor sizing techniques, or modeling circuits through mathematics, spice and verilog. However, this is among the most lucid texts written on circuit structures to date.

Mr. Howarth is an author to add to the list of great history writers that can relate lots of information in a short amount of time, and be very entertaining while doing it. I have to tell you that I was very surprised at this book. It was just plan fun to read, and I enjoyed learning something while being entertained.
The book is, as it says in the title, about the year 1066. Pretty simple, and that's the way it reads. The author describes life during that year, how people lived and survived. He does this with humor and down to earth writing style. I actually feel like I got to know these people. His descriptions are easy to visualize, and his conclusions are based on great deductive reasoning from printed sources as well as good old common sense. I feel that he has done a tremendous amount of research, not just in old libraries, but down on the docks, in the forests, and on the ocean. Job well done.
And the people. William, Harold, Edward, the Godwins, the whole bunch is here, and they sound like regular folks that were major players in huge events that were just normal life for them. Their greater and lesser strengths are presented in easy readable forms, and behavior is very well understood with this information.
Well done Mr. Howarth! I am truly surprised at how good this book is, and also very glad I read it. Next: Lord Nelson!!

The only problem with this book is that it doesn't give equal time to the Japanese carrier fleet, which as it happened was America's only real competitor in this developing science.

This book accurately portrays what it would be like to face the "Loser" label your whole life. It wasn't fair at all, but Wilt successfully had a good season after another. I definately reccomend this book to anyone who likes success stories or if you like sports biographies. In fact, I recommend it to anybody

This is one of the books that led me on the path of conversion to the holy Catholic Faith. I highly recommend it to potential converts, to Catholics wishing to learn more and defend their Faith against the onslaught of protestant, anti-Catholic propaganda. It's classic Q&A format is a proven method of catechesis that has been tried for centuries, enabling the presentation of very complex material in an easy to understand format.
If you have heard the misinformation spread about the papacy, such as "Peter was never the Bishop of Rome" or "Jesus called Peter a little stone while He (Christ) was the real Rock of the Church" or "The Papacy was a Roman intervention, under the direction of the Roman Emperor, starting centuries after Christ" then this book will serve as a powerful tool in aiding you in refuting these myths.
A powerful case both from Scripture and Tradition and badly needed in our time of rebellion within the Catholic Church against that very institution which is the rock of the Church founded by Jesus Christ 2000 years ago.
Butler, Dahlgren & Hess divide their book into two halves. The first half is a comprehensive look at the scriptural support for the papacy and doctrines that devolve from it (i.e., papal infallibility, the role of the Church).
The second half of the book is a sampling of many Early Church Fathers and how they perceived the Petrine Office. In short, it is a quite compelling presentation in that the view of the Early Church Fathers, as presented, is the same view the Church promotes today.
This is the best book that I have found on the issue of the Papacy. If anyone is struggling with the issue of authority in the Church, this is the first book I would recommend not just because of its content but also because it is written in a very easy style.
You won't be disappointed in this book. Buy it now.
