Book Description
The doors are wide open and you're welcome to wander through. Don't worry about the carpets as you enter through stately doorways, cozy up to colossal fireplaces, and climb poetic staircases. For those who love the old homes of the New England area, this is a chance to enter and inspect the window sills and cupboards up close. This excellent new third edition features more than 400 photographs and illustrations, along with helpful tips provided to guide the remodeller of Jacobean, Colonial, Georgian, and Federal homes toward duplicating these antique architectural features. There are also architectural drawings from the Library of Congress and by Asher Benjamin, one of the leading New England builders and most influential designers of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Book Description
Banks and other financial institutions play a fundamental role in any economy. They have a correspondingly crucial role to play in achieving sustainable economic development. This is the first book to explain how they can contribute, and the steps to take. The first part sets the context of environmental imperatives and the responses of governments, business and financial services. Part 2 examines the initiatives already under way, and what else is feasible. Part 3 argues that more far-reaching change and revitalization of the economic system is needed and then describes how this can be achieved by the financial sector.

Spells out hush hush details in a clear cut manner........2000-06-08
I have been researching the retail food industry for a real world product introduction, and have searched a number of articles and books. No book in the market spells out in great clarity the details in food merchandising and supermarket retailing as this book does. Other books such as "How to Sell to Supermarkets" by Julian Hnalder have hardly 1/5th the useful content this gives. This is an excellent compilation of super market information, even though it is few decades old. Exciting sections on Pricing, Coupons, Buying allowances, Margins, sales presentation etc. A must have for a food industry entreprenuer.

Customer Reviews:
short book, quick read.......2006-03-01
This book was okay. It did not live up to my expectations however. The "tips" were general and not things you don't already know. It's not worth the money, but maybe check it out from the library. Some information was usefeul.
A Survival Guide for Paralegals.......2003-07-01
I am looking for my first job in the paralegal field, and thought this book would be more helpful so far as providing insight into the various areas within the field. However, there are only two chapters that cover specific specialties in the field, one on litigation and the other describes the corporate culture. The rest of the book deals with very general topics, such as how to get along with people in the office, how to be organized, how to deal with stress. Give me a break!

Book Description
Short stories with pictures from a small, isolated Air Force radar site in Japan during the Korean War and Cold War - including news reports of little-known Russian/American air conflicts. Humor, informal military life and off-the-wall activities at Site 18 compare loosely to television's 'MASH'.
Customer Reviews:
Well done!.......2006-05-02
As previously noted, Site 18 details the experiences of a young radio operator in post-WWII Japan- during the height of the Cold War.
Mr. Waldron authentically recreates both time and place, introducing and bringing to life a likeable assortment of characters. Memorably etched in anecdotes featuring- among other things- fake birth announcements, "Mohawks," and Horseback Inspections!
You don't have to be ex-military to appreciate this interesting and enjoyable book!
Highly recommended reading........2006-03-21
This book is highly recommended reading for both former military and for those who may wonder what military life was like 10,000 miles from home a long time ago.
Dick Waldron's "Site 18" masterfully relates military life at a very remote radar ouitpost located on the most northern tip of Japan during the Korean War. The book evokes many memories - most of them good, and some not so good - of my 14 month tour there in 1952-53.
When my grown children read "Site 18" they finally understood why, after 53 years, I still have such close ties with my Wakkanai comrades. After 28 years in the Air Force and 8 overseas tours, Site 18 remains my most memorable overseas station. My thanks to the author for capturing that spirit in this book.

Site 18 by Richard Waldron.......2006-03-18
I spent the winter of 52/53 in Nemuro,Japan at site 26. Richard Waldrons' book is one of the only written accounts of our contribution to the Korean War effort that I've read. Thanks Dick for remembering us and putting it down in book form....
Well Done.......Paul (US ARMY)
I was there........2006-03-14
The book "Site 18" written by Richard E. Waldron is, in my opinion, nothing short of a masterpiece. In the short stories he tells you can almost see the characters as well as smell the seaweed, the fish, the crabs and the honeybuckets.
The book tells how life on a remote radar site during the Korean War and the Cold War was, and how miserable the remoteness and the winters at the radar sites on Hokkaido were.
What I remember most is how the young men in that place and at that time made the most of it. They did not question why they were there; they just did their job - just like the young men did in all the wars before Korea and all the wars after Korea. There were some tragic times and there were some good times; there were some sad times and some happy times.
I for one enjoyed the book. I was there.

This is how it was..........2006-02-28
Having been on Hokkaido radar sites, I can vouch for the authenticity of this account. The author managed to describe his experiences in a very entertaining way -- and I couldn't put the book down before going cover-to-cover.
Wish more veterans would take the time to preserve this sort of material. For a brief moment, I considering doing a book myself. Then sanity intervened, and I realize that Mr Waldron is an excellent writer -- and I am NOT. So I hope he writes another book, and MY function (and pleasure) will be to read it...
Book Description
Where to Watch Birds in Africa is a field guide designed to help birders and general wildlife enthusiasts organize the most enriching trips possible throughout this great continent. From Morocco to Madagascar, this book presents over 200 bird-watching sites in detail and describes the species endemic to Africa. The traveler will find practical information on climate, transportation, accommodations, health, and safety as well as advice on a number of strategic questions: Where can we see birds that epitomize the continent? Which country supports the best cross-section of species and the most endemics? How many sites must be visited to see most of these birds? How much time do these trips take and when is the best time to go? Featuring over one hundred maps and fifty-one line drawings, this book is not only a guide but also a handy reference.
Following a chapter on how to use the book, there is an introduction to the continent and its birds. The countries, archipelagos, and islands are then dealt with alphabetically. General introductions to each country are followed by site details, which include bird lists; a list of other wildlife present, if applicable; and the latest information on where to look for the best birds.
