Book Description
The 1990s witnessed several acute currency crises among developing nations that invariably spread to other nearby at-risk countries. These episodes—in Mexico, Thailand, South Korea, Russia, and Brazil—were all exacerbated by speculative foreign investments and high-volume movements of capital in and out of those countries. Insufficient domestic controls and a sluggish international response further undermined these economies, as well as the credibility of external oversight agencies like the International Monetary Fund. This timely volume examines the correlation between volatile capital mobility, currency instability, and the threat of regional contagion, focusing particular attention on the emergent economies of Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe.
Together these studies offer a new understanding of the empirical relationship between capital flows, international trade, and economic performance, and also afford key insights into realms of major policy concern.

Book Description
Functional morphology is the relationship between the form and the function of an organism, seen in an adaptive and evolutionary context. This book deals with the functional morphology of the invertebrate skeleton, and concentrates on the taxonomic groups that are of greatest interest to the palaeontologist. Coverage of a broad variety of fossil as well as living invertebrates is included. Each group is treated by a specialist, providing a thorough and up-to-date review of the field. In addition to this general treatment, several short sections deal with topical and detailed observations that are seldom covered in a general text. The book also contains extensive coverage of theoretical, experimental and practical aspects of research in functional morphology, including field and laboratory techniques, computer modelling and even illustration techniques. Functional Morphology of the Invertebrate Skeleton provides a thorough introduction and overview of the subject for the professional palaeontologist and biologist. It is sufficiently generic and comprehensive to be used as a student textbook and its up-to-date coverage of the latest research constitutes a much needed shelf reference and modern review of the field.

Book Description
Kostrov and Das present a general theoretical model summarizing our current knowledge of fracture mechanics as applied to earthquakes and earthquake source processes. Part I explains continuum and fracture mechanics, providing the reader with some background and context. Part II continues with a discussion of the inverse problem of earthquake source theory and a description of the seismic moment tensor. Part III presents specific earthquake source models. Although data processing and acquisition techniques are discussed only in simplified form for illustrative purposes, the material in this book will aid in better orienting and developing these techniques. The aim of this book is to explore the phenomena underlying earthquake fracture and present a general theoretical model for earthquake source processes.

Book Description
Quirky Southern humor brings the ridiculous to light in this narrative of a woman's battles with marriage, divorce, and motherhood. Judy Conner's ex-husband, referred to only as "That X," figures prominently through anecdotes that attempt to humiliate him, but that also reveal the passionate beginnings of a relationship turned sour. Hilarious vignettes that provide a window into down-home culture include the rules to Redneck Roulette, instructions on how to cook the best Christmas roast south of the Mason-Dixon line, and tips for synchronized swimming at the World's Fair with your dog. Tragedy and comedy intertwine in this piquant tale of lost love with a Southern accent.
Customer Reviews:
Humor and Feeling.......2006-06-11
This memoir of a bizarre marriage is both touching and hilarious, and the book offers a wonderful glimpse of pre-Katrina New Orleans at its rowdy best. A great read!
Southern Fried Divorce delivers........2005-09-20
Judy Palmer Conner has a delightfully wicked sense of humor that keeps you laughing as you devour every page of her book, Southern Fried Divorce. She has the ability to capture the true spirit of the most unique of all Southern cities, New Orleans, and proves that love doesn't necessarily end with divorce. Judy's tales of her escapades with "that ex" and the brown dog are hilarious. You will find yourself reading her book again and again, and anxiously awaiting her next volume of "brown dog" tales.
Didn't want it to end.......2005-09-19
There are good books, there are great books, and then there are books that you just don't want to end. Southern Fried Divorce is one you just don't want to end. I have probably read this book 10 times and I laugh and cry with the same intensity every time. Judy Conner's first book is a total smash hit. I have a few books that I never get rid of and this is one of them. She is funny, down to earth, and proves, once again, that love is not always enough to keep two people together.
Loved it!.......2005-08-31
I read this book before I read the Sweet Potato Queen's first book by her sister. Enjoyed both, but Judy's book has it hands down in my estimation. I had to put this line in here because of some of the other reviews I have read. Also, these two gals are so close it is probably hard to tell where the real derivation of the material comes from. At any rate, regarding Southern Fried Divorce, I have read it 3 or 4 times already. There is so much humor here but also so much bittersweet truth. I laughed out loud (snorting was happening here) but I also shed a few real tears as well. This was one of my favorite books in a long time. It is such a quick read, but try to read it slowly. You don't want to miss a word.
Huge let down.......2005-08-24
After reading and listening to all the Sweet Potato Queens books...my expectations for this book of her sisters were very high. Highly disappointing. The woman reading Judys story is horrible. The content very dry in most places and hard to listen to because of it dragging. Would have been better (when listening) if the author would have read it herself. There would have been an authenticity to it. Did not find it funny or really entertaining. Would NOT recommend.

Book Description
Richard Marcinko first exploded out of the clandestine world of special forces/unconventional warfare with his #1 New York Times bestselling autobiography Rogue Warrior. Now, he calls upon the warriors who served by his side to tell their own stories. The Real Team tells it like it is: how highly motivated individuals come to the Teams, how they train, and how they fight in the four corners of the globe.
From the sea, from the air, or from the land -- SEAL Teams attack the enemy from any direction, any time, with weapons ranging from a K-bar knife to an AK-47. Here, for the first time the real life models for such characters as Indian Jew, Duck foot Dewey, and Prince Valiant recount their journeys from the civilian world to BUD/S training, their first experiences under fire, and how they turned from newbies to seasoned veterans, from loyal U.S. servicemen to Rogue Warriors whose only rule was that the Warrior does not give up. Ever.
The Real Team also reveals the Rogue Warrior's secrets for team selection and team maintenance. From setting up an ambush to making a HAHO -- high altitude, high opening -- parachute jump, from the Philippines to Desert Storm, the stories in the audiobook are about real men and real missions, and about the SEAL mentality of teamwork, training, loyalty, and never-say-die aggression. For it is the spirit of the real Teams that shaped these extraordinary individuals and positioned them for success -- in every battlefield and every endeavor they would face in life.
Customer Reviews:
The real guys are as interesting as the fictional ones.......2007-01-03
After reading most of the Rogue Warrior books, you get the feeling that you know the supporting cast pretty well. Getting the backstory on the real men on whom the characters are based is really special. Typical Marchinko -- blunt and plainspoken.
Marcinko giving some of his men their due........2003-01-10
Great stories from a group of skilled and dedicated soldiers told in the only way they know how, with honesty, brutality and in some cases a sense of humor. This is a fast read that kept me enthralled because of the pace of the book. The stories are long enough to give you some detail and the situations and short enough that there are no lapses of boredom. It is a great book for non-fiction action of some of great warriors who really loved what they were doing.
Needed more ' real life' stories in The Real Team.......2002-12-24
I've read 5 of Marchinkos books over the last 18 months and he writes great stuff. The stories are well described and each reads like an spec. ops. mission that was only recently de-classified.
The guys he works with all have unique personalities and backgrounds but plenty of motivation. I bought this book to learn a bit more about who joins the team...and (more importantly) to hear them describe their best/worst missions. Each guy must have a mission that they look back upon?? Beyond just their upbringing, I was hoping to read more of their 'lives on the edge'. I got only a little of that.
If you have friend or family looking at the military, this is certainly the book for them.
Only for fans.......2002-06-20
I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who's not already a fan of the Rogue Warrior books. It's basically a collection of essays by friends of Marcinko (most of whom have been used as characters in his novels) about their background, including combat experiences, etcetera.
This is also the first Marcinko book I've read that seemed to be clearly aimed, at least in part, at the audience for his two management and leadership books. That is business people who want to be hardcore. To this end, all the essays touch on the individual's view on teamwork and what makes a good leader, etc.
All in all, interesting for fans of Marcinko's books; useful for people who want to understand how a team should or can work.
Not your typical Rogue book.......2002-05-09
The Real Team looks at some of the people Dick Marcinko has worked with over the years and lets you see the real person, not the version which ends up in the fictional "Rogue Warrior" series. This book is a good comapnion not only to the "Rogue" series, but it also works well with the other two non-fiction books Mr. Marcinko has written. If you want a lot of action, this probably isn't the book you want. If you want some background and history, then get this one to go next to all your other Rogue books.

There is an updated Kodak book available that includes information from both previous Volumes - "Kodak's Ergonomic Design for People at Work" by Suzanne H. Rodgers, et al (Hardcover - 2004). I have used Volume II as a teaching tool in the past and it is very good. Have not seen the new book yet.

The Luxor pyramid,next to the Excallibur kingdom, across the street from the New York New York and the MGM Grand theme park. There's no logic to how this hyperbolic architecture, all work together, but somehow it does. Then get out of town and revel in the rose and crimson of Red Rock Canyon, explore the white peaks of Mt Charleston, the Colorado River, and the Hoover Dam, or go east to the cathedral spires of Bryce Canyon and Zion. The wonders were formed over 50 million years, and yet the Strip is just 50 years old. Geologist fear not; mankind has bearly made a dent in any of it.

This was Camerons last original photo essay and it is a nice creshendo. Vegas is not the most beautiful place Cameron has photographed, I mean in all fairness who can compete with Carmel, Yosemite, and San Francisco, but he makes Vegas sparkle with his fantastic eye. Vegas is a city that photographs well, the desert colors really respond to the camera, one can't help but be amazed at all the construction and I'm from Houston! As a man from the west, it was fiting that Vegas should be Cameron's last hurrah, I mean if this city does not symbolize todays Sunbelt I don't know what does. I may have not chosen this city to be his last, but that does not dampen my appreciation of his talent and the beauty of his photography. I highly recommend this book as I do all of his wonderful photo essays.
Stunning, crystal-clear aerial tour.......2004-04-21
This review is really a review of all of Robert Cameron's books of aerial photography. He has many, including books of New York City, San Diego, L.A., Chicago, etc., and every one is packed with huge, colorful, full-page aerial photos. Cameron also knows a lot about the history of the cities he photographs, writing insightful captions, and many times including old aerial photos for side-by-side comparisons.
Cameron doesn't just shoot random shots - he focuses in on landmarks, buildings, neighborhoods, parks, events, etc. The shots are so clear that, if you've been to the city, you'll be able to pick out details you remember, like a park bench you sat on or a statue you admired.
As far as the Las Vegas book goes, well, this city changes so much that now, in 2004, some of the photos are a little out of date. For example, the Bellagio was not even dreamed up yet, and the New York New York is shown under construction. Still, the wide variety of shots, from the Strip and Downtown to the sprawling suburbs to the Hoover Dam, canyons and deserts from the California line to the Arizona line, make this book exceptional. You can spend quite some time just taking in the details on a single page.
Best Photos Ever Of A Fantastic City.......2001-02-25
I've always been a fan of photography from the air and have taken many myself. Robert Cameron has shown the beautiful city of Las Vegas in a way that most other books on Vegas (and there's a lot)lack.
The photos are crystal clear and have captions that explain the photo. Probably the most intriging of the photos are the ones of the Hotel and Casinos. The Luxor, MGM Grand, and the Stratosphere are all excellently photoed.
A great soverniger for anybody wanting to go or have been to Vegas.

Book Description
The American Southwest is home to some of the most beautiful and enduring craft traditions in the country. From turquoise bracelets to rustic benches, Native American pottery to hand woven rugs, Made in the Southwest presents a buyer's guide to the best the region has to offer. The first part of the book explores the three different traditions of the region—Hispanic, Native American, and Western—and looks at the range of styles, influences, and objects that emerge from each. Part two consists of state-by-state listings of the best artisans, stores, and sources for the crafts. Each state is introduced with a brief explanation of the influences and history of the region's craft production, and the listings feature towns known for the richest traditions and the most thriving markets. With advice on how, what, and where to buy, hints on recognizing quality and authenticity, advice on finding the best deals, and a calendar of craft festivals throughout the region, Made in the Southwest is the definitive guide to the arts and crafts of America's most colorful states.

Beautiful, complete, and user-friendly!.......2006-02-06
There are so many stores selling crafts across the Southwest that it is overwhelming. I love the look of the Southwest, but I never know what to buy--and you see so much tacky touristy junk out there, from dream catchers to turquoise jewelry that is actually plastic. I'm so glad I ran across Laura Morelli's Made in the Southwest, because it helped me cut through the trash and go straight to the real deal! In addition to being user-friendly, Made in the Southwest is beautifully photographed, a pleasure for the armchair traveler as well as those of us who like to indulge in retail therapy!
Don't shop in the Southwest without it!.......2006-02-06
My friends and I just returned from a girls' getaway in New Mexico and Arizona. Thank you, Laura, for this fabulous book! We road-tested Made in the Southwest from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, then on to Sedona. Following Laura's recommendations, we found some beautiful and fascinating crafts, but mostly we just had lots of fun looking! The information was comprehensive and accurate, a real time saver for us since we had limited time. Plan to use it again next year when I go to Phoenix and Scottsdale.
Best of the Best.......2006-02-06
I collect Native American crafts, and this is the only book I have found that explains in simple, layman's terms what to look for when shopping from everything from baskets to pottery. The author distills a huge amount of information down into easy to use guides on pricing, quality, and history. The listings of shops are right on target--only the best of the best!
Become an instant connoisseur!.......2006-01-27
If you are in the market for Southwestern crafts--anything from Navajo rugs to cowboy boots and turquoise jewelry--you'll want to take this guide along. It includes invaluable tips on pricing, quality, and value. Don't get ripped off by the cheap imitations you see in stores all across the Southwest! Use Laura Morelli's Made in the Southwest to make sure you're getting the best deals on authentic Southwestern crafts.
The best travel book for the Southwest.......2006-01-27
I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and know many of the stores and craftspeople listed in Laura Morelli's Made in the Southwest. The author has really done her homework. This book includes only the best of the best! If you stick to Laura's recommendations you can't go wrong!

To Kill or Not to Kill?.......2004-02-24

Memoir of a Game Warden in New Mexico and Alaska.......2002-04-28
In a refreshingly original western voice, Stephen Reynolds tells his life story. As a game warden, he explores the wonders of wild, untamed places such as the Gila Wilderness of New Mexico, and the Brooks Range and Yukon Delta of Alaska. He meets people who use the land to live and people who live to abuse it. His is the heritage of a boy raised as a hunter, drawn to the excitement of the kill, but who experiences transform him into an outspoken protector of wildlife. Yet, this is no sermon or manifesto. Stephen Reynolds offers adventure, spiritual change, and transformation - but no easy answers. B&W illustrations.
