Release Date: 2004-08-26

Book Description

Signs of War and Peace focuses on the role of public display in the conflict in Northern Ireland. Jack Santino explores the nature of public display, its relationships to class-based aesthetics, tradition, and popular style. He also looks at contest, conflict, and civil war, and the ways the former are intimately intertwined with the latter, both in Northern Ireland and elsewhere. The work is interdisciplinary, combining ethnographic, anthropological, folkloristic, and performance study approaches.

Good analysis of a complex situation.......2006-01-13

This book is an analysis of the ways in which the various factions in the conflict in Northern Ireland express their views in public ways-- murals, parades, and other kids of displays. Santino does a nice job of covering complex ground. Some symbols are used in different ways by the same groups, while other symbols are unique to a particular side. Placement, content, color, are all examined to show how they convey complex messages. This book is readable, and manages to maintain some objectivity in an otherwise extremely polarized cultural context. I would recommend it to anyone interested in this part of the world.

Brooklyn's First Family of the Fifties.......2004-06-16

Donna McCrohan has put together a massive amount of data and organized it wonderfully in her book, "The Honeymooners' Companion: The Kramdens and the Nortons Revisited". I know I'm going to repeat what others have said, but there's no avoiding it really. For anyone who is a fan of the show, there is no substitute for this book. It has synopses of all 39 episodes, a little bit of trivia, a good deal of biographical information, and scores of great photographs. Donna McCrohan has written this book with authority, diligent research, and not a little bit of nostalgia--but that's quite alright. When she asserts that the characters of The Honeymooners have reached an icon status in American culture, she's not exaggerating. The Honeymooners was a wonderful show and this book does it justice.

Comprehensively Informative and Astonishingly Complete.......1999-08-19

For the avid Honeymooners fan, this book has it all. Donna McCrohan and her research staff have left no stone unturned to find every fact from the original 39 episodes. Photos, stories, plot synopses, terminology, character names and references abound in this fantastic book. If you really love the Honeymooners, you've got to own this book. You'll find yourself unable to put it down. Getting through a chapter won't be easy when you come across a reference to one of the shows' characters or memorable lines, and finding yourself going to the glossary of terms to look up it's meaning. Almost every conceivable item is listed and defined.

Thank you, Donna for taking me on an unforgettable "HONEYMOON" with one of television's greatest comedy shows of all time.

Great Book for Honeymooners Fans Of All Ages.......1997-05-09

Great book for Honeymooners fans of all ages. This book focuses on the 'Classic 39' episodes of the show due to it's being published before the 'Lost Episodes' were found. Also includes a lot of information on the cast and the events leading to the show's success. Overall, it is highly informative and very entertaining. The follow-up book by the same author and R.A.L.P.H. co-founder Peter Crescenti titled 'The Honeymooners Lost Episodes' contains all the newfound stuff on the lost episodes

Book Description

InternetBuddy Web Journal is foremost an "address book" for websites that require user registration. The first section allows you to record the websites you are registered at, their URL, your "User Name", "Password", and "PIN" or "Account Number"--in general--the site information required to gain access. Many people find their "User Name" is more dificult to remember than their password. For example, some sites don't permit spaces, some sites limit you to eight characters, and if your name is Smith or Jones you have to add a number after your real name to register. Using InternetBuddy Web Journal is much safer than recording your passwords on your computer's hard drive, which can be read while you are on-line by clever hackers. All of us take our computers in for service or upgrades by computer store technicians--and a hard drive crash could destroys bookmarks, and would leave us without our access information to our favorite sites.

The second section of the Web Journal allows the user to record all best sites visited in 45 general subject areas like "Science", "Film Reviews", "Health and Fitness", etc.

The third section of the book is used to document purchases made over the Internet. Disputes with vendors can be avoided if you use this section to record the terms of purchase, including: item, warranty, any rebates, price, shipper, shipping date, the telephone number of the firm and any miscellaneous information.

Great organizer!.......2007-08-13

This is exactly what I was looking for! Large section for Internet sites with fields for site name, user name, password, notes, and more! A section for Sites by Subject Areas,and also a section for Internet purchases which will be really handy as a reference for future purchases from a favorite site.

Great tool.......2007-01-09

I gave it to my husband as a gift and he absolutely loves it.

Great product.......2006-03-24

This is a great product. I would be lost without it. Every time I access a new site I enter the User Name and Password in the ledger. When I return to that web site I have all the information available. No guesswork needed.

Handy Computer Address Book.......2006-02-21

This book has really helped me organize all the websites and email addresses that were on slips of paper, or filling up my regular address book. Besides the traditional alphabetical section to fill in info. on websites, there is also a section called Sites by Subject and a section to record Internet purchases. It is a very handy book!

Finally! Someone understands what a person needs!.......2005-07-17

I have bought several internet address books in the past. Regardless of quality, once it arrives, you are kind of stuck with it for something like this because it's just an address book. I've never liked a single one I've bought or looked at, and I've been forced to view internet address books as something I shouldn't be so picky about. Until now, that is! This very classy book is far, far superior to any other I've owned, has more useful features than I've ever encountered in this type of book before, and is so elegantly attractive and just the right size that this little book will always have a home on my desktop! The security card feature is an ingenious security feature for traveling, the writing space is compact, yet ample and very straigtforward to avoid unnecessary distractions, the "websites by subject" section is a nice bonus, and the shopping section is another nice add! I LOVE this book, and I will be giving it to all my family members who surf the web! Thanks for finally understanding the needs of a serious computer family!

Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Robert "Buzz" Patterson was a military aide to President Clinton from May 1996 to May 1998 and one of five individuals entrusted with carrying the "nuclear football"—the bag containing the codes for launching nuclear weapons. This responsibility meant that he spent a considerable amount of time next to the president, giving him a unique perspective on the Clinton administration. Though he arrived at the job "filled with professional devotion and commitment to serve," he left believing that Clinton had "sown a whirlwind of destruction upon the integrity of our government, endangered our national security, and done enormous harm to the American military in which I served."

Dereliction of Duty is not a personal attack on President Clinton or a commentary on his various scandals; rather, it is a "frank indictment of his obvious—to an eyewitness—failure to lead our country with responsibility and honor." Lt. Col. Patterson offers a damning list of anecdotes and charges against the President, including how Clinton lost the nuclear codes and shrugged it off; how he stalled and lost the opportunity to launch a direct strike on Osama bin Laden at a confirmed location; how the President and the First Lady, and much of their staff, consistently treated members of the military with disrespect and disdain; and how Clinton groped a female Air Force enlisted member while aboard Air Force One, among other incidents large and small. A considerable portion of this slim book is devoted to the myriad ways in which President Clinton undermined the military, and hence the security, of the nation. He seriously questions Clinton's decisions to send troops to Somalia, Rwanda, Haiti, and Bosnia to accomplish non-military tasks without clear objectives. Having participated in each of these engagements, Lt. Col. Patterson personally "experienced the frustration of needlessly wasted lives, effort, and national prestige" as well as the alarmingly low morale that Clinton inspired.

This is certainly not the first anti-Clinton book, but it is different in that Patterson does not seem to have a political ax to grind. In fact, at times, he appears apologetic about having to write about his ex-commander in chief. Yet, in the end, this retired soldier felt his last act of service should be to share his experience with his country. --Shawn Carkonen

Book Description

Here is the ultimate insider's account from the highest and most sensitive levels of the Clinton administration, revealing how the irresponsible use of power can lead to a terrible price paid by all Americans.

No Lies Here.......2007-09-25

I bought and read the book at the behest of a friend I worked with, who served as a USAF security officer (NCO) aboard AF One. He is the one who told me about Col. Patterson's book, and said he was surprised to find himself portrayed in it. You see, he was the person who broke the news to Maj. Patterson (at the time) that Bill lost ...oops, MISPLACED, the nuclear launch codes. Folks, I know this man to be a man of Honor and Integrety, something that neither of the adult Clintons that occupied the White House ever had, nor ever will have, IMHO. Read the book. It is all true, according to my friend.

Sour Grapes?.......2007-08-18

Why would any self-respecting Air Force officer give up a flying career to be a liveried factotum for a couple of power elites? Answer: political schmoozing on this level is a virtual guarantee for a fast promotion. That this cocktail party warrior somehow buffooned an easy shot at full Colonel perhaps best explains this unmitigated rant against all things Clinton. Egregious overstatement of this sort gives cause to wonder whether or not the author dropped the `football' a time or two, perhaps on Bill's toe. Although I can fully appreciate why many people have a negative opinion of the Clintons as a matter of prerogative and political persuasion, vicious slander of the sort one finds in this book does not seem to be the product of sober reflection, no matter how biased. To paraphrase a dead-white-guy philosopher, `insincerity protests too much!'

As 'Insider' as It Gets.......2007-06-27

Robert Patterson was Clinton's top military aide. He was at the presidents side whenever he was on duty.

Read this book before you make a decision on Hillary.

Wow Refreshing Read.......2007-06-10

For once a book about Bill Clinton that has some basis in reality. So many books out there are written based purely on politics and ideology but this book seems more based in facts.

If you want to learn more about Bill Clinton but can't stand all the typical Left wing defenses and Right wing attacks this book is for you

Truth Can Hurt and Is A Stubborn Thing.......2007-05-21

Ron Marlar (a retired USAF officer, college professor, school teacher, living currently in Florida)

I checked Robert (Buzz) Patterson's Dereliction of Duty out of our local library and read it shortly after it was published (2004). Then I bought copies - one each for self-admitted liberal and conservative friends. The copy for the liberal friend was a housewarming gift. It certainly warmed his house and more. At his instigation we have hardly spoken since his warming. Conclusion: Liberals take great offense at criticism no matter how well documented and by eyewitnesses of their favored people.

One of the many incidents - this one personal - Buzz Patterson reports may have been a major factor prompting him to write a book with such a telling title and so full of failures and offenses to civility by the Clintons and their staffers. Bill Clinton hit on Patterson's wife according to Patterson. Should anyone be surprised by that, given the other revelations so far about the Clintons, especially Bill, his own confessions and apologies?

Should anyone be surprised by the Clintons demeaning, misusing and harming the military? Unlike George H.W. and George W. Bush who served at least in some capacity in the military the Clintons have not done so. Indeed Bill evaded military service by deceiving the University of Arkansas ROTC commander.

Those who attack the messenger rather than the message often do so because they cannot attack the message. Despite the ad hominem attacks on Patterson his message rings true as consistent with other reports on the attitudes and actions of the Clintons, those whom they gather around themselves, the supporters of the Clintons and other Democrat politicians, both past and present. Together with that consistency in reports, attitudes and behavior patterns the attackers of Patterson lend credibility to him as the messenger.

Be careful when selecting Dereliction of Duty for buy. The main title is the same as another book (by H.R. McMaster, 1998) recounting the dereliction of duty by Lyndon B. Johnson, Robert Strange McNamara and those that they appointed as top military leaders. Did I not say something already about the consistency of attitudes, behavior patterns and misuse of the military by Democrat politicians, both past and present?
