Book Description

Neil Diamond has written some of the most memorable songs in pop history. A brilliant song writer and a charismatic live performer, he is one of the Top 5 most successful solo artists in pop music, and has sold over 120 million albums. However, he is a star who has suffered periods of crippling self-doubt. He is an intriguing blend of contradictions--a massively entertaining live performer, yet deeply introspective off stage. After years of anonymity in Tin Pan Alley churning out hits for other artists and surviving on only one dollar a day, Neil Diamond burst onto the scene in his own right in 1969 with "Sweet Caroline". This fascinating portrait of Neil Diamond--his life, his music, his passion--is explored from his childhood struggle to get out of Brooklyn, through five decades of global stardom. This biography gives a compelling insight into the complex man behind the glittering legend.

Neil Diamond: His Life, His Music, His passion.......2007-03-08

Very nice book. My wife loved it.

A surprising book.......2007-02-12

Being a Neil Diamond fan for as long as I remember, I had to purchase this book and was not disappointed. Ms Jackson covers a surprising amount of information and really gives you tremendous insight into Neil's heart, mind, and character. She exposes you to what his life entailed and everything that influenced what he is today. It made me fall in love with him even more...if that was possible!!

Very interesting and informative........2006-02-25

I have been a Neil Diamond fan from way back. I have seen him in concert many times and will still continue to see him. He is an extremely talented man who has so much to offer but suffers from some road blocks at times trying to get out what he wants to. When he finds his groove it leaves me breathless. I enjoyed the book. My favorite Neil song is I am I said.

Book Description

FIRST TIME IN PAPERBACK-A founding Delta Force member's anthology on the future of war.

Media commentator Eric L. Haney-one of twelve founding Delta Force members and author of Inside Delta Force-along with other outstanding military analysts and award-nominated editor Brian M. Thomsen, examines our evolving military in the face of changing times, technology, and adversaries. From possible invasions of Syria or Iran-or a major military stand-down with North Korea-Beyond Shock and Awe is a provocative vision of America's military of the future. Included are articles by Harlan K. Ullman and James P. Wade, Jr., who first used the term "shock and awe"; Professor William Forstchen on how precision guided weaponry will eliminate "problem" individuals before war can begin; Eugene Sullivan on the legality of preemptive attacks; William Terdoslavich on how America's swift victory in Iraq turned into a bloody stalemate; John Helfers on how cultural knowledge helps win wars and build alliances; and Eric Haney on gaining Rapid Dominance of adversaries through shock and awe.

Customer Reviews:

Didn't Knock my Socks Off.......2007-02-25

Shock & Awe is a series of essays by various writers who discuss their takes on the multiple aspects of present and future war fighting doctrine.

The book was engaging in parts, but tedious in others depending on the author of the individual essay. While I would say most essays were decent, the first four were the best in my opinion.

Standouts included Eric Haney's chapter in the use of special forces, an essay on legitimacy of an occupying force, and one of the later essays "The Eye of God". The "Hearts and Minds in 2025" chapter was unnecessarily long and boring, as was the Appendix on the original "Shock and Awe" doctrine. The essay on "Weapons of the Next War" was uninformative, and not entirely well researched.

All in all, this was an OK read, but not a knock your socks off experience.

For Thinkers.......2006-08-28

This book is a series of articles on the future of warfare as predicted by the editors. Some articles are better than others, as would be expected depending on one's point of view and background but all will make you think. Haney's preface is a very succinct presentation of the world we currently live in and will have to deal with in the coming decades. The articles naturally follow this lead. I would recommend this book to those who are interested in the concepts of force application when dealing with low intensity conflicts and terrorism.

Excellent and Valuable!.......2006-07-09

This first class work is like getting three books in one! Throughout the book, it serves as a history lesson in military warfare techniques, a current day philosophical breakdown of motives of terrorism and recent war efforts to deal with the changing global political frictions, and perhaps most important, an essay of applying non-conventional warfare techniques against non-conventional militant persons, groups and terroristic nations dedicated in fighting and dying for their beliefs against freedom.
Emminantly trained and qualified in understanding what makes the emerging global enemies of free societies tick, that is, the terrorist state, Eric Haney with Brian Thomsen provide incredible insight in laymen's terms to what kind of enemy we're facing, why the war efforts of free nations against terrorists is currently incredibly swift but enduringly challenging after "victory".
Perhaps for the first time, this comprehensive work gives expert and layman alike the opportunity to understand why terrorists target us so severely (even when our countries are separated by thousands of miles of oceans), why the most powerful nations on earth are struggling to find and neutralize the threat, and best of all, how we can reach success in the future.

Book Description

What is justice? Questions of justice are questions about what people are due, but what that means in practice depends on context. Depending on context, the formal question of what people are due is answered by principles of desert, reciprocity, equality, or need. Justice, thus, is a constellation of elements that exhibit a degree of integration and unity, but the integrity of justice is limited, in a way that is akin to the integrity of a neighborhood rather than that of a building. A theory of justice is a map of that neighborhood.

Defining a bit of the undefinable.......2006-05-03

This week the state in which I live, Nevada, executed someone. Was he guilty? Probably, he was found guilty in a trial and then confessed. After some twelve yers on death row he quit appealing and asked to be executed. The comment of the children of the lady he killed were reported by the news as being thankful that justice had been served and closure brought to the situation. Today in the paper there are several articles wanting other people on death row to be executed.

Is this justice? Is it justice if the people executed are largely poor, minority and male? Or do the poor, minority males commit more crimes?

These and many other points about justice do not have easy answers. This little book attempts to present a theory of justice that covers these and many other points. In defining justice he discusses deserving, reciprocity, equality, and the philosophy of what has defined justice down through the years.

Excellently written, this is a book that makes you think.

Book Description

John Ladd has made extensive revisions to his original translation of this work, which now comprises the first part of Kant's Metaphysics of Morals in its entirety. In addition to numerous emendations occasioned by the publication in 1986 of a critical edition of the German text, this new edition reinstates those passages abridged in the previous edition: Kant's discussion of contracts, marriage and the family. In a supplementary Introduction written for this edition, Ladd comments on issues raised by the new material, such as the relevance of Kant's conception of marriage to his view of the status of women. An updated bibliography, glossary, and index are also provided.

Book Description

Warren Dean chronicles the chaotic path to what could be one of the greatest natural disasters of modern times: the disappearance of the Atlantic Forest. A quarter the size of the Amazon Forest, and the most densely populated region in Brazil, the Atlantic Forest is now the most endangered in the world. It contains a great diversity of life forms, some of them found nowhere else, as well as the country's largest cities, plantations, mines, and industries. Continual clearing is ravaging most of the forested remnants.
Dean opens his story with the hunter-gatherers of twelve thousand years ago and takes it up to the 1990s--through the invasion of Europeans in the sixteenth century; the ensuing devastation wrought by such developments as gold and diamond mining, slash-and-burn farming, coffee planting, and industrialization; and the desperate battles between conservationists and developers in the late twentieth century.
Based on a great range of documentary and scientific resources,With Broadax and Firebrand is an enormously ambitious book. More than a history of a tropical forest, or of the relationship between forest and humans, it is also a history of Brazil told from an environmental perspective. Dean writes passionately and movingly, in the fierce hope that the story of the Atlantic Forest will serve as a warning of the terrible costs of destroying its great neighbor to the west, the Amazon Forest.

Customer Reviews:

A Great Book!.......2004-09-07

To read this book is to learn how a colonization exterminated the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Laws, economics process, natives agriculture, how the urbanization burned the forest and fens. Except the first chaptre, about the evolution of the forest by geologic times, all is perfect.
I use this book in my class - Geography of Brazil and the students love it. (...)

What can I say? It's great!.......2000-02-08

Having actually lived in the country and visited the Amazon rain forest, this depiction of the destruction of the Atlantic rainforest and the effects there is highly factual and rather interesting. It is one of the only successful ecological histories about a forest! If you want a good read about the disappearance of one of Brazil's most historical aspects, then this book is for you.

Impressive environmental history of Brazil.......1999-11-04

This book is bound to change your view of Brazilian history, and of environmental history. A must read for anyone interested in either. A good Portuguese language translation is available.
