Delightful.......2007-02-25
Has always dream of owning one of my own. A great addition to my library. The photographs alone are worth more than the text.

A New Way to "Look" at Parenthood.......2000-06-21
Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott are genuises. Their writing is some of the funniest anywhere, and their drawings are amazing too. We have all seen Baby Blues from the eyes of the entire family, but this new book shows us the MacPherson home from the eyes of Darryl and Wanda, an exciting new twist. This book is especially good because it is something that the parents can relate to as well, widening the audience and increasing the amount of people who will open to the comics and read Baby Blues every day. Baby Blues is an extremely great comic strip, and thi new book, "We are not Alone", is a great addition.

From the supplier: Individual agents and brokers can build their business by offering 24-hour employee coverage that combines workers' compensation insurance with health insurance. These two products have usually been sold through separate channels, but combining these coverages provides brokers with additional commissions while saving employers time and money as well. Combined coverage saves costs by eliminating duplicate claims, streamlining customer service, and reducing administrative and legal overhead.

From the supplier: Economic liberalization in China offers both opportunities and challenges for foreign insurance companies wishing to invest there, in that it proceeds so inconsistently. The government encourages foreign investment primarily in established Coastal Open Cities, such as Shanghai, and in Special Economic Zones, such as Shenzhen. The longtime insurance monopoly is gradually being replaced by regional companies which may or may not be successful. The People's Insurance Co of China reported a 90% loss ratio in the first six months of 1993 due to natural catastrophes.

Book Description
Dealing with all aspects of risk management that have undergone significant innovation in recent years, this book aims at being a reference work in its field. Different to other books on the topic, it addresses the challenges and opportunities facing the different risk management types in banks, insurance companies, and the corporate sector. Due to the rising volatility in the financial markets as well as political and operational risks affecting the business sector in general, capital adequacy rules are equally important for non-financial companies. For the banking sector, the book emphasizes the modifications implied by the Basel II proposal. The volume has been written for academics as well as practitioners, in particular finance specialists. It is unique in bringing together such a wide array of experts and correspondingly offers a complete coverage of recent developments in risk management.

A History of Business in Medieval Europe 1200-1550 (Cambridge Medieval Textbooks
ASIN: 0521894158 |
Book Description
This book breaks new ground by presenting a detailed description and history of one of the most famous companies of the early fourteenth century. This analysis of the Peruzzi Company produces a radical reassessment of what made the Florentine super-companies so exceptional: commodity trading, especially in grain, which required heavy capital, sophisticated organization, and an international network. But the book also exposes the limitations of their financial power, and explodes the myth that the collapse of the Peruzzi and its joint-venture partner, the Bardi, was caused by bad loans to Edward III to finance his invasions of France.

Multiple Intelligences: New Horizons
ASIN: 0566083124 |
Book Description
Economic competitiveness depends on having the smartest workforce possible. Organizations who want to survive and grow need to be open to new ways of uncovering and developing their employee's abilities. This book turns Howard Gardner's revolutionary theory of multiple intelligences into user-friendly tools for understanding and assessing success in everyone from CEOs to cleaners. The results not only allow the identification of individual abilities but also uncover the mosaic of abilities needed for multi-skilling, multi-tasking and efficient teamwork.
No other book provides a method of translating the theory of M. I. into workplace practice.

Shrink Raise.......2006-06-08
One of the first things that I noticed, after deciding on Psychiatry as my specialty, was how free people felt to tell me that I my children would be nuts. Apparently, the children of psychiatrists are all crazy, and this is a well-known and accepted fact. That was typically the second comment people would make. The first would be some kind of awkward joke either about needing my services or the fear that somehow, by deciding to go into psychiatry, I had suddenly developed the ability to read their minds. It surprised me how uncomfortable it made people. The reaction I get when I tell people what I do is still surprising to me.
I'm as guilty as anyone actually. Until arriving in Boston (where it seems half the population are descendants of therapists), I only knew two people who had Psychiatrists for fathers, and they were both on the odd and/or angry side. Sorry Trav and Geof. But I've since been relieved to meet many Psychiatrists who appear to be wonderful parents, good role-models, and seem to have healthy, thriving children. And, true, I've also seen some kids that do fit the more negative stereotype.
I was happy to stumble upon this book at the library. Though slightly dated, it is interesting to see someone address this perception in a systematic fashion. Thomas Maeder, himself the child of a psychiatrist as well as a psychotherapist, starts with this notion that the children of psychiatrists and other therapists are qualitatively different than children of other professionals, and asks, 'is this even true?' And if so, what is that difference? What accounts for this difference? Rather than merely debate this, he decided to study it, interviewing many therapists and many children of therapists. This is mostly qualitative data, and by its nature, as Maeder admits, it can't be normed. There are no control groups, no double-blinding. One can only describe subjective experiences. No one can accurately assess how they would be different if they had different parents or if their parents had different occupations. It's anecdotal but generates thoughtful discussion.
The conclusions? It is mostly, but not entirely, a myth. Maeder sees it as evolving by extension from the myth that all psychiatrists are actually crazy. (Crazy people would naturally have crazy kids.) Maeder believes this derives from the projected needs of the believer: "People ridicule things that make them uncomfortable. How better can one ridicule psychiatrists than to say that they are crazy and that, far from being frighteningly adept at understanding other people, they can't even raise their own kids."
Yet he acknowledges that within the myth is a kernel of truth. And here is where the discussion gets interesting.
Psychotherapy is not just another job. It is a skill in which the training requires one to unlearn normal ways of interacting and learn to listen and observe people differently. "The psychiatrist must, for example, learn to maintain an unusual degree of objectivity and poise in the face of emotional crises, to elicit deep confessions from relatively casual acquaintances, to refrain from standard socially dictated responses, to visualize people in terms of their family histories and unconscious motivations, to discern the importance of seemingly insignificant verbal or postural clues, and to scrutinize his own feelings while dealing with patients and, perhaps, everyone else." Viewed from this lens, that psychiatric training inescapably permeates all parts of ones life, "it would be surprising if psychiatrists did not exert an unusual influence on their children, whether beneficial or not." The debate on this last point, whether the differences are overall positive or negative, is not resolved, but the breadth of opinions elicited makes for good reading. The crux of the argument seems to rest on whether or not it is healthy for a child to have a parent given to overvaluing the need to enter into their child's emotional life, overvaluing the importance of real empathic intrusion, and probably overestimating their abilities for true understanding.
This raises another issue, also given a thoughtful treatment: how much of this results not from psychiatric training but to the selection bias of the people that are drawn to the profession in the first place? Are people typically drawn to the profession because they themselves are psychologically wounded? Or is it a narcissistic desire to save people?
Along the way, Maeder touches on many related topics, such as the differences between the different professions that practice psychotherapy (psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers), the different approaches (psychotherapists vs. psychoanalysts), some forays into more existential and epistemological themes that we all grapple with, and there are segues into relevant historical perspectives on the treatment of mental illness in this country.
But it is the stories we learn directly from the children interviewed that make for the most compelling reading. The permutations include children of therapists who become therapists themselves and children of therapists who are sent to therapists as patients.
Good stuff. Good reading.
But I'm not sure what I can do with this information from a practical point of view. Parenting is already an overwhelming task. You can prepare intellectually, but mostly it is a game of reactions, and the more confounders bouncing around your head the duller your reactions. I don't think I have the shrewdness to parent as a therapist attempting to not think like a therapist.
So it is what it is.
Hope for a happy ending.
Book Description
From CIA operations in Eastern Europe after 1945 to the Afghan war and its legacy, FIGHTING DIRTY investigates the use of secret armies. As Peter Harclerode reveals, the Afghan war was not the first time western governments have resorted to secret armies -- and not the first time one has turned against its creator. French undercover units in the Algerian war led the 1961 mutiny and tried to assassinate their own President. Others achieved great success: covert operations in Malaya and Oman defeated communist guerrilla movements. Britain's secret war in Borneo held the line against Indonesian aggression. From MI6 and the CIA in Eastern Europe to the CIA in Tibet, the MACV-SOG in Vietnam, the SAS in Oman and the CIA in Afghanistan - this is the secret story of covert operations.
Customer Reviews:
a good overview and starting point for covert ops/insurgency research.......2007-04-03
This is a very interesting book with alot of information. Some of the subjects covered are obsecure conflicts where there are simply not very books of any kind available. Harclerode knows his subjects and the book could have probably been three times as long.
What I found the most interesting was his coverage of early cold war covert operations in eastern europe and the soviet union. He had more information that I'd ever seen before on operations including why some of the operations failed. There is probably at least three books worth of potential source material in these chapters alone.
The other really interesting sections were on the conflict in Borneo from 1962 to 1966...and Oman from 1958 to 1976. These are british conflicts that are not commonly covered or end up being footnotes in books.
The less successful portions of the book are where he tries to cover huge conflicts like Malaya, Algeria, Vietnam and Afghanistan. He doesn't have enough pages to do much more than summaries. And casual readers will find that there isn't much in the way of background material to help. But on almost every page there is all sorts of interesting information. For example, he shows how Vietnam the security surrounding covert ops was so bad that team after team was sent to be captured & turned or ambushed/killed. The striking thing is how willing various people were to continue throwing covert teams into traps while nobody was willing to step up and get the security problem fixed.
The book has a heavy focus on covert operations and covert teams at the expense of broader understanding of strategy or politics. I've actually found the book more useful as a research aid (or reference) than as a book to read from cover to cover.
gavin's book of osama bin laden.......2005-02-11
The book was about Osama Bin Laden he was born in afganastan his dad was rich bin laden was the 16th child that his dad had 12 wives.On 9/11/01 bin lad en had his men attack the twin towers then they tryed to go to dc where the president was.They were going to crash into the white house but the passengers took over and traped the tarest.And they saved the president fron the tarest.The gaurds from the president took bush to safety where the tarest couldt get to bush.So know to this day U.S. troops are in afganastan fighting for our country.We americans are trying to suport our solders.Good luck and god bless.This what my book was about.
Disorganized facts.......2005-01-16
Peter Harclerode clearly did a tremendous amount of research on Western paramilitary operations, but the book he ended up with is practically useless as a history source. The chapters are not divided into stages of the campaign. There is no explanation of why an operation was carried out, what the strategy was, or even which side had the upper hand. Instead, it's just 590 pages of tactics organized more or less by date. Can you imagine the US Civil War being described this way? The maps don't help either; they are from a stock source and don't show half of the locations mentioned in the text. I haven't memorized the geography of Tibet, help me out! Maybe Harclerode will get a chance to make another edition that addresses these problems, so his work won't have been wasted.
Horrifying catalogue of Western state terrorism.......2003-05-08
Peter Harclerode, a historian of special forces, presents the simple-minded anti-communist version of history to try to justify the appalling story of state terrorism that he tells here.
He writes, ýThe Soviet Union and China ý turned to pursue their own ambitions which, along with those of emerging nationalist movements, posed new global threats during the late 1940s and early 1950s by supporting revolution, insurrection and ultimately war in Eastern Europe, the Baltic, the Balkans, Indochina, Malaya and Korea.ý The special forces operated in the British and French empires, or in countries where progressive forces had taken power. The special forces waged counter-revolutionary, aggressive wars, supporting empires and capitalism, against national liberation struggles.
Harclerode gives detailed accounts of wars in Eastern Europe and the Baltic states 1947-56, Albania 1949-54, Indochina 1950-54, Malaya 1948-58, Korea 1950-53, Algeria 1954-62, Borneo 1962-66, Tibet 1956-74, Oman 1958-76, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos 1954-71, and Afghanistan 1979-2001. He omits the CIA operations in Hungary, Angola, Kenya, Jamaica, Cuba and Nicaragua.
The CIA and MI6 operated in Eastern Europe, the SAS in the Empire. Franceýs Action Service operated in Franceýs empire in Indochina and Algeria. The CIA fought the USAýs secret war in Tibet, which has always been part of China. A CIA unit, the Saigon Military Mission, organised terrorism in Vietnam and Laos, breaking the Geneva Accords.
The CIA and MI6 started funding, arming and training terrorists to attack the progressive government in Afghanistan six months before the Soviet Union sent forces to defend the government. These terrorists later went to the USA, Algeria, Bosnia and Chechnya.
The US and British states consistently built up terrorists like bin Laden, to fight national liberation struggles led by people like Ho Chi Minh. But the terrorists, like the special forces, were expendable. As the US Director of Central Intelligence, Admiral Turner, said, ýit was permissible to use other peopleýs lives for the geopolitical interests of the US.ý
A great revolutionary wrote, ýTo die for the people in weightier than Mount Tai, but to work for the fascists and for the exploiters and oppressors is lighter than a feather.ý
Oops! A Book with a Misrepresented Title !.......2003-02-17
I really wanted to give this book a "No Star" if I could. Even though I haven't been able to read this book (not yet released until April 2003) but, fairly speaking and by the historical facts, the author makes a big mistake by mixing up Ho Chi Minh with Osmar Bin Laden. These two men are totally different in many ways: backgrounds, personalties, idealogies, goals, and methods etc.. In my opinion, the author is trying to make his book more marketable by bringing in the controversial name of Ho Chi Minh (haunting name to American public). However, for critical-oriented minds, it is a dirty trick that will be back fired like the first two words of the title of this book: "Fighting Dirty."

Book Description
The book covers the evolution, biology and natural history of the group of flightless birds that includes ostriches, emus, cassowaries and kiwis - the Ratites and their relatives, the Tinamous. It reviews the scientific studies that have been made of their ecology, behaviour, physiology, husbandary, evolution, mythology and conservation. Each of the 55 species is described in detail, with maps of the present known distribution, accounts their food and nesting habits, calls, field identification, habitat and relationship with humans, including farming. It is the first such comprehensive account of the groups since 1877, and the first to bring together comprehensive information about the tinamous, little known birds of the America. It reviews the long debated subject of the evolution of these groups, highlighting new evidence that has turned many old theories on their head. Both the interested amateur and the professional should find it rewarding to read.
