What do you get when you combine the classic, almost 2,000-year-old Indian treatise on the art of love with the most up-to-date paper-engineering techniques? The Pop-Up Kama Sutra!

This lively distillation of the world's most famous sex guide features choice excerpts from the original text, translated in 1883 by the renowned explorer Sir Richard Burton, and is illustrated with vintage color plates from India. Best of all, six incredible pop-ups present the Kama Sutra's most interesting, instructive, and wildly acrobatic positions in three dimensions. More Bollywood than museum piece, this fun gift book adds a new dimension to the literature of lust and romance.

A brief comment.......2007-08-30

This is a funny and creative version of the classic Hindu erotic text. Well, it's a pop-up book, so I guess I don't have to explain that part, but the book is no doubt more notable for the visual effect than the actual text. By the way, most people don't know there is an "Arabic Kama Sutra," entitled The Perfumed Garden, by Sheikh Nafzaouwi (not sure of the actual spelling anymore, so I apologize if I err there), but in many ways it's even more erotic than the much older Hindu text. (You'll understand when you make it to the chapter on "The Types of Vulvas." :-) But you can also check out that book if you're interested.

This book was horrible. Dont waste your money or time on it. Unless your looking to do a book report on the history of Kam Sutra. They show you nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poorly made and with a lack of information.......2006-11-10

I was greatly disappointed in this "pop up"book.
The lack of information and the actual design was a failure.
I would strongly recommend having a CD with this book to make it of any value.

The Perfect Bachelor Gift.......2005-07-28

We all know men never grow up past the age of 15 or so. What better to give them than a POP UP book about Kama Sutra! I got it as a gift for a guy friend of mine, and he absolutely loved it. Definitely nothing wrong with this book!

Perfect for Bachelorette Parties.......2005-06-27

This book is beautifully illustrated in a traditional Indian style, very detailed. The pop-ups themselves are fun. I wouldn't recommend this book for someone who really wants to learn the positions, but it's a great novelty for someone who can handle the risque nature of it. I gave this to a friend of mine at her bachelorette party and it was a big hit, even over the skimpy outfits and novelty "sheaths". I've gone back and bought extras to keep on hand for other such occasions.

Dreaming BIG.......2003-03-22

"Dreaming Big" is an excellent book. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It is very uplifting. I smiled and laughed throughout reading it. It reminded me of cute little memories from my childhood that often times we do not take the time to reminise about. With the things that are going on in our world today we need a book like this to remind us what is really important in life. This is exactly what this book did for me!

10 stars!!!.......2003-03-21

This is the funniest book I have read in a LONG time! It is truly "laugh out loud" funny. It's worth buying because you can read it over and over again.

The second book (Annual #2) is just as good. Get both!

Could not put it down. Straight forward accounts by those who were there. Maybe those who have never seen friends, not just die, but torn apart, won't appreciate what they are reading. Took me 38 years to even consider reading such accounts. I cried throughout both (The Assault On Khe Sanh) books.

Book Description

Nearly 100 American veterans recall the grueling 77-day siege of Khe Sanh, an ordeal that epitomizes virtually every aspect of the Vietnam War. Surrounded by two divisions of North Vietnamese soldiers and resupplied entirely by air, hungry and thirsty U.S. Marines engaged in some of the most savage hand-to-hand combat of the entire war. The vividly detailed recollections of key participants place readers at the heart of the action, as mortars fall continuously and Marines struggle to cut down the enemy. A gripping narrative that illustrates the harrowing nature of a battle in which superior American fire and air power proved decisive, but at a terrible cost.

Customer Reviews:

This Marine Unit was there also.......2005-12-30

While I found the book to be very factual and informative and, without a doubt, from my Marine perspective, at times very painful, I was very dismayed to find no reference at all to 3rd Batallion, 4th Marines, that was also in the hills of Khe Sanh. Near the end of the seige, my unit, Lima Company, 3rd Batallion, 4th Marines, occupied and lost Marines on Hill 689. We also helped the Army on Hill 552 when they were getting hit in March, 1968. That being said, despite this oversight, it is a very good book and a must read for those who desire to have a ground level view of that major battle. I was also medevaced to the U.S.S. Repose, ending my time there before my unit returned to Dong Ha. Semper Fi Jim R., Sr.

Almost like you were there.......2004-06-08

I got this book based on some of the reviews i had seen here, and i wasn't disappointed. This compliation of the stories taken from the soldiers that were there is very touching view of what they experienced day by day. Life, death, luck, and no so good luck stories abound. Excellent reading that really made my heart beat fast, while saddening me many times. I highly recommend this book.

I WAS THERE.......2001-06-04

I was a marine at Khe Sanh for the entire siege.The Book is a good accounting of the horror of the siege. I was with the 1st battalion ninth marines at rock quarry at Khe Sanh. It provides a view of what happened to those who endured the siege and for these give their all at Khe Sanh. Semper Fi

I have read many books about military history and about the war in Vietnam in particular. This is by far one of the most emotionally wrought and amazing books I have ever read. The tales from the marines own words are amazing. You are given a great insight into the amazing odds they were fighting, and their undaunted spirit and determination to survive and win.

Book Description

From critcally acclaimed military historian Eric Hammel comes a vivid oral history account of the Tet 1968 siege of the Khe Sanh Combat Base. The words of American fighting men caught up in the grueling, deadly seventy-seven-day ordeal create a harrowing tapestry of tragedy and triumph. As two North Vietnamese Army divisions move to surround them, the vastly outnumbered U.S. Marines rush to strengthen their defenses at the isolated base and several nearby hilltop positions. The Communist forces repeatedly attack, are repeatedly repelled, and then dig in to take the American base by siege-the makings of a classic, modern "set-piece" strategy in which the defenders become bait to tie the attackers to fixed positions in which they can be pummeled and pulverized by American artillery and air support. Khe Sanh: Siege in the Clouds is a ground-breaking step forward in the oral history genre. This gripping-and moving-narrative flows from the masterfully woven threads provided by nearly a hundred men who gallantly endured the wrenching all-out struggle to hold the combat base and its vulnerable outlying positions.

Book Description

Ever feel like you're being watched? This eye-opening book shows how a new technology may soon track your every move . . . and pave the way for the fulfillment of end-time biblical prophecy.

A revolutionary technology called RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) is poised to expose our habits, secrets, and slip-ups to money-hungry marketers, savvy criminals, and government snoops. One day soon, our shoes could keep track of our footsteps. Stores could ID us as we walk in the door. Hidden "tracking units" could log even our restroom visits.

Global corporations and government agencies have already invested millions in a plan that uses tiny microchips to uniquely number and track everyday items. Parts of this Orwellian vision are uncannily similar to the prophesies of Revelation. Chipping inanimate objects is just the start-the endpoint is a form of RFID that can be injected into the flesh. This work-an updated version of Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre's controversial and award-winning book Spychips-is a clarion call to Christians to take a stand against plans to monitor and control people through this unnerving new technology.

Using public records, real-world examples, and biblical prophesies, Albrecht and McIntyre uncover the frightening story behind RFID and show us how to protect our privacy and civil liberties while there's still time.

Totally fictional........2007-03-18

The author really doen't have a clue about what she's writing. It is more a science-fiction book than anything else.
Books like this do not help the cause of privacy. The real threat to our personal lives is in the uncontrolled databases that marketing companies keep of our purchasing habits, not a particular technology such as RFID.

Do NOT buy this book.

I was not surprised that this book was worthless - but I am surprised at how many presumably intelligent people seem to find it plausible. For me, this book belongs in the same trash can along with anything written by Ann coulter.

RFID has an important role in a ubiquitous spy network that is capable of serving powerful government officials, hostile regimes, criminals, pharmaceutical companies, insurance providers, and employers. The RFID industry is planning for humans to receive subdermal microchips, and for personally-identifiable chips to be embedded in everything we interact with. Potential for privacy loss is enormous, its implications are profound, and it will affect everyone. Item-level tagging precedes the slippery slope that is likely to result in a power-struggle between government and corporate forces to control real-time monitoring of individual lives. Government affection for intrusive surveillance is recently exhibited in Texas, with the Houston Police Department's reckless (not to mention Orwellian) idea of equipping apartment complexes and private homes with indoor video monitoring.

Discoveries revealed in "The Spychips Threat" (e.g., NCR's patent application, "Automated Monitoring of Activity of Shoppers in a Market") are not only provocative, but demonstrate RFID trends are quickly evolving from tracking palettes of toothpaste; advancing as devices that surreptitiously acquire and exploit personal data. RFID promises a complicated future, where lives and everyday decisions will be constantly burdened by the excessive knowledge that RFID provides. It is also poised to compliment converging technologies intended for physically controlling humans--devices to be used as punishment methods (like with caged lab rats) via remotely-activated subdermal implants that deliver painful or lethal payloads if we step out of line--all serving the purposes of folks not the least bit concerned with linking our identity to a brand of hair conditioner.

If this all sounds hyped and sensationalized, I recommend reading the patent applications for yourself, and statements from industry executives that celebrate future Draconian applications of RFID to provide authorities with methods to "abolish crime". Bad idea for governments to have such complete power--especially in countries that are already theocracies. God help us all.

Although the prospect of widespread RFID deployment is such an unpleasant subject, much of this book is delightful in its humor and sarcasm. These authors are brilliant at presenting the emerging human rights threats, as well as developments that Christians should be watchful of in regards to Bible prophecy. How should Christians respond to the preludes of "the Mark"? The book answers this, and provides a well-reasoned response to the misguided notion that we should welcome "the Mark" as a sign of Christ's return.

This Book is a MUST read !.......2006-02-11

It is a new day for commerce in America and if you thought those annoying marketing calls to your home are bad, wait to you hear what's in "store" for you. The corporate giants are not satisfied with making millions of dollars, they want more, much more. Imagine the next time you enter a supermarket for a loaf of bread your identity, financial standing and buying habits enter as well. That is the vision many corporations see in implementing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) microchips into their products. The slogan "to hawk you're wares" used to mean the peddling of one's goods. Now it is more apt to describe a bird of prey hunting your every purchase when RFID technology enters the fold.

As a freelance journalist whose work has been fortunate enough to appear on websites such as WorldNetDaily.com I have been absolutely amazed at the scope, detail and evidence Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre have unveiled in their book, "The Spychips Threat". Imagine a world where all products, goods and possibly yourself have been injected with a tiny Radio Frequnecy Identification (RFID) tag? Think that scenario is impossible? Not only is it possible but as Albrecht and McIntyre explain in their book, it is heading towards reality unless people stand up and make their voices heard!

The reason why RFID use is especially important for Christians to understand is best summed up in the authors own words:

""We believe it is essential for Christians to consider the implications of the industry plans we have uncovered and share in this book. These plans include tracking people around stores, following their movements in public places, and even spying on them in their own homes. What's more, the end point of all this tracking could be the implementation of an RFID device in people's flesh to number and identify them for a multitude of reasons, including buying and selling. This plan should raise a red flag for everyone familiar with the last book of the Bible."

The reference is in regards to the Book of Revelation and the vaunted mark of the Beast as found in Revelation chapter 13. The authors never assert that RFID technology is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. However what they do present in their book is compelling evidence at both the corporate and government level that this scenario is possible. I highly encourage ALL Christians to get this book and examine the evidence for themselves.
