Bumpersticker Abbey!!.......2001-12-03
4.5 is closer to it........2001-06-26
Abbey was a truck riding good ole boy and was about as politically correct as a punch to the head. His backpack was not designed by Gucci and his boots were mostly army surplus but he spent a life time outdoors, not behind a desk finding fault. His writings, his actions and his public appearances brought more awareness of nature and its plight to the public than did the combined number of his critics by a factor of 1000.
Borne just before the depression, he did not see all wild game as Bambi or Thumper but, as a child, watched as his father hunted for the table. Abbey may not be for everyone, but, by the same token, neither is Mr. Rogers.
If you have read a lot of Abbey this is a great book........2001-03-14

The Richter-Veresov System: The Chameleon Chess Repertoire 1. Dr Nfg 2. Nc3 D5.3 Bg5
Eduard Gufeld , and Oleg Stetsko Manufacturer: Thinkers' Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0938650971 |
Book Description
Ultimately, most of us play to win and, we'll try anything legal, including playing a "system" which often can wriggle into a King's Pawn opening (French, Pirc, Philidor, Caro-Kann, or Pirc Defence) by beginning with 1. d4! Seven chapters concentrate on avoiding the Richter-Veresov proper. However, seventeen chapters do concentrate on a straightforward method of play which can involve excitement, combinations, and daring as much as any other chess opening. Over 550 game citations are offered, including 21 by master Veresov and 10 by master Richter. Modern grandmaster treatments are seen by Mestrovic, Miles, and Morozevichthe M&Ms. This comprehensive 1999 study is the first since Bellin's 1983 work.Customer Reviews:

The Weather Factor: How Nature Has Changed History
Erik Durschmied Manufacturer: Arcade Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 1559706244 |
Book Description
From the doomed campaigns of Roman legions and Napoleon to the fate of U.S. forces in the South Pacific and Vietnam, torrential rain, brutal winters, monster typhoons, and killer hurricanes have had far-reaching-and often terrifying-consequences. As Erik Durschmied vividly describes in dramatic vignettes, the elements have decided human history as often as the spear, bullet, or atomic bomb. Drawing upon extensive research, as well as the author's own experiences in Vietnam, THE WEATHER FACTOR gives a fascinating account of the inevitable collision between weather fronts and human conflict.Customer Reviews:
HOW MUCH A FACTOR?.......2005-07-18
Want the truth about this book?.......2004-06-29
In a failing attempt to provide some conclusive form to his already laboriously disorganized read, Durschmied flails with illogic and inconsistency.
The Weather Factor lacks entertaining passages but for the chapter documenting Admiral Halsey's typhoon-battered fleet. Fairly blending a historical narrative with meteorological data, Durschmied provides a glimpse in this chapter of what this book should have been. Yet this lone oasis is not enough to redeem an overall dissatisfying trounce in the world of weather and history.
Read it? Nah.
Everybody talks about it ,but.............2004-02-28
No comparison to The Hinge Factor.......2002-04-02
Interesting take on weather and military history.......2002-02-01
That being said, it's an interesting read. It's divided into chapters, each devoted to a specific incident. Some are reasonably well-known, such as the battle at Teutoburger Wald that cost Rome three legions (included here due to a thunderstorm that bogged down the Romans and led the Germanic "barbarians" to think that their gods were on their side), the typhoon that destroyed Kublai Khan's fleet heading to invade Japan, and Napoleon's disastrous march on Russia that was devastated by the legendary Russian winter. Others were (to me, at least) more obscure: the thunderstorm that scattered the mobs in Paris and thereby cost Robespierre his supporters, the weather during the Battle of the Bulge that first protected the Germans from air attack and then cleared to leave them vulnerable to the Allies' unchallenged fighters and bombers, and the typhoon that devastated the American Pacific fleet in World War II.
The one non-battle chapter focuses on the Irish potato famine, which was facilitated by a cool, rainy summer that allowed the potato-killing fungus to flourish.
The penultimate chapter, about fighting in the Mekong delta during the Vietnam War, provides a change since it's written in the first person. The author, a war correspondent, was actually there, and gives a personal view of what it's like to fight natives in the muggy misery of a tropical jungle.
The final chapter addresses the possibility of manipulating the weather in the future to provide better prospects for one's own forces or worse prospects for the enemies'. This has apparently already been tried, with American forces trying to get it to rain on the Ho Chi Minh trail in order to bog down Viet Cong supplies.
The book is readable enough, though with one strange quirk: footnotes that provide additional information rather than references. These quickly become distracting, and I think some should have just been incorporated into the regular text while the rest should either have been eliminated or moved to the back. It's a strange affectation and not at all helpful.
So, overall it's an interesting book even if not what I expected.
