Book Description

YOU ARE A SEXUAL BEING (But, is something missing?)

Something is missing, but what? We all come into relationships expecting something huge and magical, but generally what could be truly glorious settles into something less. Why? Why can't it be all that we hoped for?

As with anything else, self-knowledge is the starting point. Mapping Your Sex Life can help you understand the physical and emotional needs, desires, fantasies, and expectations of you and your partner, and discover what may be holding you back from deep fulfillment of your sexual potential.

SEX IS IMPORTANT!

Sex is the engine of deep relationship and the foundation of family. Sexual fulfillment is important to health & wellness, releasing stress and stimulating the flow of hormones and chemicals vital to the body. And sexuality is a factor in your spiritual life as well.

The birthdate, time and place of birth are all you need to create a birthchart with the help of the included CD-ROM. Your computer will print out an interpretive report for you and anyone else and the book will tell you how to apply this knowledge to enhance your sex life and that of your partner.

Book Description

In 1942, Hitler's Nazi regime trained eight operatives for a mission to infiltrate America and do devastating damage to its infrastructure. It was a plot that proved historically remarkable for two reasons: the surprising extent of its success and the astounding nature of its failure. Soon after two U-Boats packed with explosives arrived on America's shores–one on Long Island, one in Florida–it became clear that the incompetence of the eight saboteurs was matched only by that of American authorities. In fact, had one of the saboteurs not tipped them off, the FBI might never have caught the plot's perpetrators–though a dozen witnesses saw a submarine moored on Long Island.
As told by Michael Dobbs, the story of the botched mission and a subsequent trial by military tribunal, resulting in the swift execution of six saboteurs, offers great insight into the tenor of the country--and the state of American intelligence--during World War II and becomes what is perhaps a cautionary tale for our times.

Much ado about almost nothing.......2006-01-01

In June of 1942, two 4-man teams of Nazi saboteurs exited U-boats onto American beaches in Florida and Long Island, NY. All of the eight had previously spent time in America. Indeed, one had spent twenty years in the U.S., and another, a naturalized American citizen, had spent seventeen since the age of five. Returning to the Third Reich for various reasons, they volunteered to return to the U.S. and sabotage that country's war effort by striking at its aluminum production plants. Each team hit the beach with a supply of explosives and $90,000 cash for expenses. Two weeks later, they were all in FBI custody. All were tried by a military tribunal and found guilty. Six of the eight were quickly executed by electrocution; two were imprisoned for the war's duration and eventually returned to Germany.

A friend of one of the saboteurs, who'd also been offered the chance to join the mission but declined, said:

"In Germany ... everything was rationed. Nobody in his right mind was going to go from a country like that to a country with everything, like America, and start blowing things up. You'd have to be nuts."

That statement just about says it in a nutshell because even though Hoover and his FBI trumpeted their foiling of the plot as the greatest victory for America since Yorktown and the former just about wet his pants in an effort to grab all the credit for (chiefly) himself and his G-men, the eight conspirators resembled more an expanded clone of the Three Stooges, and their fourteen days on the loose were a farce. Glad to be free of Germany's wartime belt tightening, they started spending their cash on food, clothes, drink, women, and, in one case, a new car. A couple of them looked up family members, wives, and former girlfriends. There didn't seem to be any great urgency to get down to the business of "blowing things up". In the meantime, the leader of the Long Island four, George Dasch, was off spilling his guts to the Feds. Though SABOTEURS: THE NAZI RAID ON AMERICA is well written and documented, one wonders why author Michael Dobbs bothered. Perhaps a clue lies in Michael's assertion that:

"One of the lessons of the saboteur affair is that it is very difficult to fight a war and respect legal niceties at the same time."

In the seventy-six pages of the book dealing with the invaders' trial and punishment, Dobbs goes to commendable lengths to describe how the accused were denied the right of habeas corpus, an abridgement not seen since Abraham Lincoln suspended such during the Civil War. Oh, and by the way, the handling of the saboteurs' case by the U.S. government is apparently the legal basis for its trying of al-Qaeda terrorists before military tribunals post-9/11.

SABOTEURS seems less about the abortive "raid" on America than an essay on its legal system when severely stressed - or perceived to be stressed - by outside forces. Perhaps the lesson to be learned is reflected in the statement by Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist in a 1999 speech, and which is quoted towards the end of this volume:

"While we would not want to subscribe to the full sweep of the Latin maxim INTER ARMA SILENT LEGIS (In a time of war, the laws are silent), perhaps we can accept the proposition that, though the laws are not silent in wartime, they speak with a muted voice."

Timely, well told, well documented drama...and it's all true!.......2005-06-25

Truth is certainly stranger and more entertaining than fiction in this case. This fast paced account of the 8 man team of Nazis sent to sabotage the US railyway system during WWII is so colorfully told, it's like a movie. The fact that it's a true story makes it all the more fascinating.

Famous figures like FDR and J Edgar Hoover and not so famous ones like Atty General Biddle and the German conspirators, all come to live and the stories (in this age of the Patriot Act, public paranoia and prisoner abuse scandals) are especially relevent in today's political climate.

Thoroughly enjoyable and informative read for buffds of both history and spy stories.

Amazing Nonfiction.......2005-04-04

One of the first actually enjoyable nonfiction books I have ever read. A moving, suspenseful, accurate tale by Michael Dobbs - totally worth reading no matter what!
After reading it, I changed the subject of my paper to Operation Pastorius because of the wealth of knowledge I had about it from reading this enjoyable book!

Excellent book.......2005-04-03

I'm still not quite sure why I liked this book so much. Let me just say Dobbs does a terrific job (aided by some very detailed sources) of outlining a story that is bizarre, funny, and strangely compelling. It's one of those books where you keep coming across events so strange you have to tell someone about them. Also, it's quite timely, as some of the legislation that came out of the Operation Pastorius trials is currently being used to the hilt by the Bush administration, even though the key Supreme Court justice in those decisions later said he regretted them.

If you like it, I would also recommend "In Harm's Way" by Douglas Stanton, about the Indianapolis disaster. That's more of a horror story than a comedy, but it also is filled with historical ironies and well-delineated characters.

This Could Have Been a Spy Novel - But It's True.......2004-12-18

Saboteurs, by Michael Dobbs is a very well written story, about what I consider to be a little known chapter of WWII, namely, the German plan to land two groups of saboteurs on America's shores. Once here, these men were to operate an "extensive campaign against the United States to disrupt the production of tanks and airplanes and blow up bridges and railroads." Luckily for America, the Germas sent probably the most inept group of spies that was ever assembled, dooming this mission from the start. What transpires during the course of the story would be comical if not for the fact that the majority of the saboteurs were executed. Also, luckily for America, we were able to catch these men despite ourselves. This is a very enjoyable read.

Book Description

The intriguing story of the controversy and personality clashes behind the discovery of the moa in the nineteenth century. In 1839, on the basis of a single fragment of bone from the other side of the world, the great English anatomist Richard Owen reached the conclusion that it came from an unknown gigantic flightless bird. Many initially thought Owen's claim preposterous. Owen's piece of bone is the starting point for Richard Wolfe's fascinating story behind one of the nineteenth century's great natural history discoveries.

Customer Reviews:

Finding the Moa.......2007-05-08

There isn't very much to say about this book other than that it was a bit of a disappointment. I was hoping to get a description about what was known about the Moa, but the book focuses more on those who were enthralled with the giant bird and the history of New Zealand as it pertains to the Moa. A considerable amount of time is devoted to Sir Richard Owen (and the conclusion of the book would have inflated Owen's ego even further if he were alive to read it) and those involved in the discovery and description of the Moa, but little is actually illuminated about the animal itself. If you're interested in the history of New Zealand then you'll find much to enjoy, otherwise you'd be better to read something by Erroll Fuller or David Quammen instead.

Book Description

What If I had Never Tried It is the first autobiography of arguably the world's greatest motorcycle road racing champion, Valentino Rossi. Certainly he is the greatest in modern times and similarly the best loved. This is the official, personal story: fast paced yet insightful.

Rossi’s record in the motorcycle road racing World Championship is supreme. First in the ultra-competitive 125 class starting in 1996; then in the 250 class only to graduate shortly thereafter to the big league of the 500s. In 2002 the premier class switched direction moving from 500 cc two-strokes to 990 cc four-strokes from then on to be known as MotoGP. Rossi rides for Honda and wins. He wins on a Honda the next year and then switches to Yamaha, to every race fans’ surprise, and wins against all odds. He wins again in 2005. No one is close. No one is faster. And all at speeds which approach 200 mph.

Both on and off-track, on the ubiquitous TV screen or walking in the street, Rossi is idolized as though he were a rock star. From his native Italy to California, from Philips Island to Laguna Seca, he has raised the limits, reshaped the frontiers of the sport and set new trends. Rossi has become the 21st Century face of motorcycle road racing. Yet he remains faithful to himself—one moment the intelligent, articulate interviewee; the next a jokester; the next the single-minded, focused, strategic racer with split-second skills the rest of us can only dream of.

Customer Reviews:

Read the book, change your mind.......2007-09-01

I am a MotoGP fan who always admired Rossi the rider but thought he was a bit of an ego maniac. I never really liked Rossi the guy until I read this book. He gives a picture of his life from childhood through his all important development to present (near). There are many facinating tid bits from his childhood in Italy to the near impossible to manage super-stardom. He also shares some of the behind the scenes of MotoGP, his rivalries and big move from Honda to Yamaha.

I am no literary critic but I can say the book is personal and warm, very conversational. It'll make you laugh, it'll make you think. It may change your mind about who Rossi really is. Great book for any motorsport fan or interested reader.

There are many funny stories in it. And many technical too.
A real pleasure to read it.

Excellent.......2002-06-30

There has been a regretable tendancy in history, military history in particular, to obscure or omit altogether African accomplishments. Certainly, the nonliterate nature of precolonial African societies has not led to the generation of copious documentation from original African sources. Much of that history available to us is derived from observations by Europeans and Arabs, oral tellings which tend toward embellishment and whatever insight archeology reveals to us. World historians may attribute the paucity of African history in their works to a comparative lack of source material. Yet, in my reading of African history, it is clear that enough material has been compiled by scholars in this field to produce multi-volume books. Thus, the fallacy of Africa being a continent without a history is exposed, though not entirely put to rest. John K. Thornton's "Warfare in Atlantic Africa: 1500-1800" is the latest contribution to studies about Africa that aim to shed light on what many may still regard as the "Dark Continent." The book is not long (152 pages, excluding notes and index) but it is brimming with information stemming from detailed research about African warfare. Each chapter focuses on a region of Africa where the author analyzes terrain, political contexts, strategies, tactics, weaponry and military operations with a high degree of depth. Thornton reveals the diversity of precolonial African militaries and warfare and how environment dictated how wars were fought and armies organized. He shows how African militaries responded to the presence of Europeans and their introduction of gunpowder weapons. The facts he brings to bear in regard to these early African/European interactions indicate a more complex relationship than the simplistic summaries of historians with no access to the valuable data Thornton has dredged up. As elsewhere in the world, many African wars were conducted with vigor and ingenuity, with armies demonstrating abilities to respond accordingly to operational situations. In the 18th century, a combined African army constructed counterworks around a fortified town it was besieging with the intent of cutting off the town's supplies. This example of tactical dynamism as detailed in the book is very reminiccent of Ceasar's besiegement of Vercingetorix's stronghold. "Warfare in Atlantic Africa" abounds with such examples, each one underscoring the absolute nessecity of scholars to abandon whatever misconceptions may lurk in their minds about African history. This book is an intriguing and exciting read, presenting an early Africa far removed from the stereotyped monotonies of Hollywood.

Book Description

The Story of Mexico's political rebirth, by two pulitzer prize-winning reporters

Opening Mexico is a narrative history of the citizens' movement which dismantled the kleptocratic one-party state that dominated Mexico in the twentieth century, and replaced it with a lively democracy. Told through the stories of Mexicans who helped make the transformation, the book gives new and gripping behind-the-scenes accounts of major episodes in Mexico's recent politics.

Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party, led by presidents who ruled like Mesoamerican monarchs, came to be called "the perfect dictatorship." But a 1968 massacre of student protesters by government snipers ignited the desire for democratic change in a generation of Mexicans. Opening Mexico recounts the democratic revolution that unfolded over the following three decades. It portrays clean-vote crusaders, labor organizers, human rights monitors, investigative journalists, Indian guerrillas, and dissident political leaders, such as President Ernesto Zedillo-Mexico's Gorbachev. It traces the rise of Vicente Fox, who toppled the authoritarian system in a peaceful election in July 2000.

Opening Mexcio dramatizes how Mexican politics works in smoke-filled rooms, and profiles many leaders of the country's elite. It is the best book to date about the modern history of the United States' southern neighbor-and is a tale rich in implications for the spread of democracy worldwide.

Customer Reviews:

Informative and Fact Filled, but not the most concise.......2007-09-05

Over 500 pages of well described political history, excluding the 40+ pages of painstaking endnotes, make this an impressive body of work.

The most informative and colorful anecdotal pages were from Carlos Salinas administration in 1980's to Vincente Fox up to 2002. Pre-1980's Mexican history tends to be a textbook version of how Mexico evolved differently from the U.S. Facts, dates, and quotes are precise. With a clear intent to write to the U.S. reader, the case is made that the democratic struggles in Mexico are unlike the U.S. For example, until Vincente Fox the government was ruled by a single political party (PRI) which was tightly integrated into the unions, voting mechanisms, fiscal appropriations, and candidate selection processes.

As New York Times writers, Preston and Dillon clearly have had the experience and understanding to address the Mexican history. However, if you are seeking a book that is a biography of Zedillo, Salinas, Fox, Slim, et al. This is not the right book.

In general, the fact-filled style and approach of their story-telling misses many personal and human textures; instead it focuses on their political persona or the writers attempt to reveal the persona under the politician within the context of the politics. You may learn that virtually all of the leaders went to Ivy League PhD programs, but you are not involved in the influences of their very different academic lives.

In summary: well written history, could have been a bit more concise for an easier read, but lacks deeper revelation of the human sides of the major characters of the Mexican political struggle.

Concise commentary on complex Mexican political evolution.......2007-07-11

Very well-written account of the decades-long dominance and eventual fall of the mighty PRI in Mexico. Some reviewers have complained that the book is too long, but I disagree. The narrative moves at a sprightly pace; it reads like a very long feature article in, say, the New York Times (the authors' employer), which, for me, is an appropriate way to tackle the topic. I've read other books on modern Mexican politics and history by more academic authors, and found their work turgid and hard to follow.

The book does a great job of revealing both the ruthlessness and eventual haplessness of numerous Mexican political figures, as their traditional authoritarian ways are largely washed away by growing numbers of average Mexicans clamouring for democracy.

Mexico was not out of the woods upon Vicente Fox being elected president, and the authors stress this. There are still huge problems with wealth disparity, corruption and drug trafficking. However, the country now has a better chance to address these issues with an electoral system that is more transparent than it has ever been, and with a populace that has a taste for greater political freedom now that it has seen that it was possible to vote out the venerable PRI.

Excellent.......2007-03-03

Hello:
I have read this book many times and I have always found it delighful. This book references back to the political party regime called "PRI" and the attrosities they made. From corrupt presidents to corrupt generals; the bad deals, the fixed elections, the killings and dissapirings of innocent people. It takes you back to the mid 1960's and it talks about important events throughout those years until the year 2000 when the regime party lost their first election.
This book talks about Mexican politics and how it has set back Mexico to the extent of becoming a third world nation. Mexico has the potential of becoming a powerfull nation as the US is but it's corrupt ways has set them back a couple of years. To the extent I know this book is full of true stories that happened throughout the last 50 years; that are the years that hurt the most Mexico.
Sam and Julia are excellent authors, and in this book they show us how a clean and healthy politics story should be presented. I have only to say that if you like politics and history this is your book. Great job authors.

Stupendous book.......2007-01-10

Though you get a good and brief Mexican history lesson at the get-go, the majority of this well-written and deeply researched book by two Pulitzer Prize winners from the New York Times is devoted to the past half-century or so.

It's a thriller, a real-life cliff-hanger that includes bald-headed generalissimos in bed with drug-dealers, backroom dealings, sex, brutality, murder, kidnappings, ear-slicings, corruption up the kazoo, "revolutionary" baloney, all of which was brought to us by the PRI, the ham-fisted political party that ruled Mexico craftily for seven decades until the whole game came unglued in the late 1990s, landing opposition leader Vicente Fox in the president's chair in 2000.

The PRI overdid it, and got their comeuppance, at last.

This book is available in both English and Spanish. I find it odd that the chapter entitled "From Disorder to Despotism" is missing from the Spanish version, published in, you guessed it, Mexico. Plus, the Spanish version has no photos! I like to see what my goons look like.

This book is a must-read for anybody interested in this messy land. I live in Mexico, and could hardly put the dang thing down.

Good 380-page book...too bad it's trapped inside a 516-page book .......2006-06-21

Julie Preston and Samuel Dillon's "Opening Mexico" is a fine work crying out for an editor and undermined by a general lack in editorial discipline. There are whole chapters here which should and ought to have been left out - two in particular are the latter chapters "Opening Minds" and "Chiapas." Interesting standalone pieces perhaps, but their inclusion here simply destroys the drive and narrative of the overall work.

Moreover, there are these little personal narratives jarringly crammed in there and prefaced with "Sam writes..." or "Julia writes...". Sorry guys: I'm reading this stirring story of Vicente Fox's march to victory and suddenly I'm reading some personal aside about a school field trip you took with your daughter? You completely and utterly lost me there and - judging by other comments on these pages - more than a few others, too. There's probably 20 pages of those passages and net cumulutive effect is zero.

Which is a shame because the core story here of the slow overturning of the PRI's "perfect democracy" is great stuff. In fact, the first chapter ("The Day of Change") which gives the backroom story of Vicente Fox's victory is absolutely electricfying material...I'm talking to the point of the hair tingling on the back of your neck.

There's also great reporting on Carlos Salinas' administration and Ernesto Zedillo's as well. Most notably the reporting is very balanced. For example, it would be very easy to pile on Raul Salinas. But while reporting the President's brother's obvious failings, the authors point out that the his human rights were violated in his imprisonment and trial. That's not a popular opinion but Preston and Dillon make a good case for that opinion.

So, to see the book get sluggish because of bad (well, nonexistent really) editing is a real disappointment. Still, for $15 or less, I would tell you it's even worth your money to buy it simply for that first chapter.

Book Description

While focusing on a particular bird of the Southwest, this book is really a field study of another rare species: the wildlife management professional. Through stories about his own experiences studying Merriam's wild turkey--anecdotes about the foibles of field work and the bureaucratic boondoggles of wildlife management--Shaw offers a sober and seasoned view of what managers are doing, and failing to do, in their efforts to protect the animals and landscapes that we love.

Customer Reviews:

A multi-faceted study which goes beyond scientific theory.......2004-05-06

Merriam's turkey is a native Rocky Mountain subspecies and the subject of author Harley Shaw's intensive research. Stories of research biologist Harley Shaw's encounters with the wild turkey are supplemented by anecdotes about field work and wildlife management, providing a multi-faceted study which goes beyond scientific theory and observation alone. Stalking The Big Bird: A Tale Of Turkeys, Biologists, And Bureaucrats is enthusiastically recommended reading for sportsmen and wildlife environmentalists alike.
