great information and good story.......1998-05-06

This is a good book in that it illustrates the entire prologue of Jack Mckinney's first novel. The story is sound and the art is very good for the time period it was written. If you compare the art to an X-men or Superman comic of the same time you wonder why the comics are so much worse. The only problem is that you clearly see several of the standard blue Bioroids, but they're no where to be seen in the rest of the Macross series. This is a must if you love the 'Masters as much as I do.

SuperWtrtie is Super!.......2002-10-26

This is the third time I've taught a SuperWrite class and the results are better each time. This is a quick, easy system for anyone who wants to learn to write notes or take dictation. I highly recommend the Notemaking book for students, Volumes 1 and 2 for secretaries and office professionals, and the Brief Course for Continuing Education and Staff Development classes. Not only do you learn an alphabetic writing system, you also learn from the interesting material, which teaches the system. All of these books are winners.

Book Description

In this follow-up to Balls and Strikes: The Money Game in Professional Baseball (Praeger, 1990), Jennings examines the state of professional baseball's labor relations during a nearly 25 year period, focusing on the background and the outcome of the 1994 baseball strike. Jennings concludes by suggesting ways to improve future labor relations in the sport. While the entire professional sports industry generates less revenue than sales of Fruit of the Loom underwear, a lengthy strike in professional baseball assures a national notoriety far beyond its economic impact. When the 1994 strike was underway, scores of members of Congress were involved in related investigations and legislation, while President Clinton invoked "the public interest" in his efforts to resolve the dispute.

Book Description

Covering both the great military leaders and the critical civilian leaders, this book provides an overview of their careers and a professional assessment of their accomplishments. Entries consider the leaders' character and prewar experiences, their contributions to the war effort, and the war's impact on the rest of their lives. The entries then look at how history has assessed these leaders, thus putting their longtime reputations on the line. The result is a thorough revision of some leaders' careers, a call for further study of others, and a reaffirmation of the accomplishments of the greatest leaders. Analyzing the leaders historiographically, the work shows how the leaders wanted to be remembered, how postwar memorists and biographers saw them, the verdict of early historians, and how the best modern historians have assessed their contributions. By including a variety of leaders from both civilian and military roles, the book provides a better understanding of the total war, and by relating their lives to their times, it provides a better understanding of historical revisionism and of why history has been so interested in Civil War lives.

Eisenhower who lead the Allied forces against the Axis powers in World War II, to Charlemagne who began the process of European recovery in Europe from the chaos resultant from the collapse of the Roman Empire, to Napoleon Bonaparte, Decatur, Hannibal, Erwin Rommel, Robert E. Lee, Genghis Khan, George Washington, and hundreds of others, "World Military Leaders" is a strongly recommended addition to school and community World History and Military History reference collections, as well as a being a fascinating and informative browse for military and history buffs.

Customer Reviews:

Don't try to ID NZ's birds with this guide........2002-01-10

I made the mistake of ordering this photographic record of some of New Zealand's species. I wanted a field guide to the birds of New Zealand, but Reed's book is more of an attractive picture book.

Photos great, but elsewhere weak.......1999-07-19

Geoff Moon's photographs are superb, among the best bird photos I have ever seen. But as a field guide, this book has serious limitations.

Photographs can never be as helpful as paintings in a field guide for two reasons. First, it is impossible to show similar birds in identical poses. Second, all indiidual birds and all photographs have individual quirks which can hinder identification in the field. Therefor, no photographic guide can ever be as helpful as one illustrated with good paintings.

The book is organized in the traditional way, by taxonomic order. Each entry, accompanied by same and facing page illustrations, contains six sections: name and size, habitat and distribution, characteristics, voice, food, and breeding. There are no range maps.

Not every species gets its own entry. Occasionally, Moon combines two similar species in one description.

The "Breeding" section gives detailed information on the bird's clutch size, incubation period, nest type, etc. While this is often interesting, it is almost never helpful in field identification, and therefor does not belong in a field guide.

The heart of identification is the "Characteristics" section, and it leaves much to be desired. Good field guides include a complete description of the bird, concentrating on its distinctive field marks. They also focus on how to distinguish it from similar birds with which it might be confused. Moon does neither. His descriptions are often sketchy and vague, and he never gives the reader keys to separating similar birds.

For example, the "Characteristics" section for the combined White-Capped and Buller's Mollymawk entry gives no basis whatever to distinguish the two species except to note that the White-Capped is larger. Since the size differential is as little as 10%, this is a distinction without a difference. In fact, there are ways to tell the two species apart, but you would not know it from Moon.

As another example, the entire description of the Shining Cuckoo is as follows: "Sparrow-sized, this cuckoo has rapid flight and is well camouflaged in foliage."

This is an interesting book, and the photographs make it worth the purchase price. But for spotting birds in the field, another source is needed.
