5 out of 5 stars Recommended Practice Material.......2006-07-28

This book contains thousands of multiple choice questions and quite a few simulations. I am using it in addition to a Becker review course. It has some of the same questions as the Becker material (probably 30 percent), but there are many questions not included in Becker, and some of them have a very different focus and style. I think this makes the book worth the $60 price, just to fill in the gaps. If you are not using a review course, the Wiley reviews are also recommended, individually or in the four volume set.

There is a newer volume that has recently been released, with some new material, but most of the material overlaps with this edition. This edition is now much cheaper than the new one. I used this one to review for the BEC section, and I feel like it really helped to round out my preparation.

4 out of 5 stars great for college classes too.......2006-07-03

I am not preparing for the exam yet, this book was recommended for help with my college class so I bought it. There are a lot of problems with solutions so it's great for practice.

1 out of 5 stars Worthless!.......2003-01-02

This book is completely worthless. Any useful information that can be gleaned from this book can be found in about 10 minutes on the Internet. The other information is hopelessly out of date or terrible advice.

The chapter on creating a new credit file is the worst. I'm not an attorney, but I believe doing this intentionally is illegal. It is at least very unethical.

Find another book, search the Internet or consult a knowledgeable attorney. Don't waste your time or money on this travesty.

    Book Description

    For hundreds of years military intervention was considered taboo and prohibited by international law. Since 1992, intervention has often been described as an international responsibility and efforts have been made to give it legal justification. This represents an extraordinary change in perceptions, and one that has taken place in only the space of a decade. Military Intervention After the Cold War explores how and why this change took place, looking at how both ideas and actions changed in the post-Cold War period to make military intervention a tool of international security and a defining characteristic of the international system. Although it is often touted as a strategy to rebuild collapsed states, the examples of success are few and far between. Andrea Kathryn Talentino argues that standards of human rights and responsible governance have become part of the definition of international security. She addresses questions that are vital in the post-9/11 world, where weak and collapsed states are recognized as permissive and at times supportive environments for criminal actors. The specter of terrorism has placed even greater emphasis on the need to understand why military intervention happens and how it could be more effective. With the news full of stories on intervention and nation-building, scholars, graduate and undergraduate students, and readers interested in understanding global interdependence will find Military Intervention After the Cold War an indispensable book. Andrea Kathryn Talentino is an assistant professor of international relations at Tulane University, New Orleans.The author of numerous articles on military intervention and post- conflict rebuilding, she is currently focusing on the link between nation-building and political violence.

                          Book Description

                          Carabid ground beetles, sometimes called "walking jewels", are among the most thoroughly investigated insects in the world. This book presents the results of molecular phylogenetic analyses of 2000 specimens, including 350 species and that cover more than 90% of the known genera, from 500 localities in 35 countries. These comprehensive analyses using mitochondrial DNA-based dating suggest that carabid diversification took place about 40 to 50 million years ago as an explosive radiation of the major genera, coinciding with the collision of the Indian subcontinent and Eurasian land mass. The analyses also lead to surprising conclusions suggesting discontinuous evolution and parallel morphological evolution. With numerous color illustrations, this book presents readers with the dynamic principles of evolution and the magnificent geographic history of the earth as revealed by the study of beetles.

                              The fields scattered by metallic bodies or radiated by some types of antennas are created by the surfaces currents and therefore they are subject to some restrictions. The book is the first one where the properties of these fields are investigated in details. The properties have the important significance for the antenna synthesis, body shape reconstruction and other diffraction problems. The material of the book lies in the meetingpoint of the antenna theory, highfrequency electrodynamics and inverse scattering problems.
                              The author is an internationally renowned investigator in the field of electromagnetic waves and diffraction theory.

                              Book Description

                              Here’s the delightful new novel from Clare Naylor, whose sleeper hit Dog Handling was one of Cosmopolitan’s Best Beach Reads for 2002. Fresh and fun, The Goddess Rules is an outrageous, wry, and razor-sharp portrait of a girl who thinks her life is just fine–until she meets a woman who swears by the belief that life is meant to be fabulous.

                              When obsessed pet owners have pooches or kitties they want immortalized on canvas, Kate Disney is the artist of choice. From her shed (which doubles as a studio and apartment) in London’s Primrose Hill, Kate caters to the whims of the rich and famous while herself living a decidedly bohemian existence. The problem is, she has a tendency to cater to her on-again, way-off-again boyfriend as well. Jake is so erratic, that most of her friends don’t understand why she even bothers. But it’s hard to fall out of love with a man who writes her songs and calls her “Angel”–even if he disappears for weeks at a time.

                              Luckily for Kate, Mirabelle Moncur isn’t buying any of that claptrap. Mirri was an actress, a legend in her time. Now, at age sixty, she’s given up on fame and men and lives in Africa, where she raises lion cubs. But her reclusive nature has done nothing to dull her beauty, mar her incredible figure, or dampen her outrageous joie de vivre.

                              After sweeping into London to have Kate paint a portrait of her favorite cub, Mirri seizes hold of Kate’s life–from the baggy wardrobe to the hopeless taste in men. Under Mirri’s tutelage, Kate learns to dance on tables with abandon, drink like a dockworker, and flirt like a goddess. And when her old friend Louis reenters the picture, she begins to see things in a whole new light. But Mirri has secrets that hint at a less than divine future. Now it’s Kate’s turn to teach Mirri a thing or two about life, love, and being fabulous.

                              I was a little disappointed in this book. My favorite book of Clare Naylor is Dog Handling. It has a great plot until chapter 20, I don't want to ruin it for anyone. Of course the ending was great, but I did not know if I could finish it after chapter 20.

                              1 out of 5 stars Disappointing, yet again........2006-07-28

                              I love to read. I read ever genre there is and I really enjoy other "chik-lit" books. But this novel was very badly set up plot-wise. The characters are not very likeable, and the dialogue and emotions between the heroine & her men/man have much to be desired. I have read another of the author's books, "Love: A User's Guide" and was even more disappointed but after so many good reviews I thought I would give Naylor another chance. Well, not again. I'll stick with Jane Green for great British Chik Lit.

                              3 out of 5 stars Interesting characters.......2006-07-20

                              I don't read a lot of novels and when I do I like an escape, yes, but also intelligent reading and a variety of interesting characters - some whom I may relate to and some that are like north and south poles. This book has a couple of characters that are in the latter category, but none in the former. The main plot is nothing new, but it still made a nice escape. There were a few English cultural references that I did not fully understand...but I expected it as the author is from England and the story takes place there. One thing I do not appreciate is having to put up with frequent usage of the "f" word, and thankfully the author keeps it to a fair minimum in this story. Overall an ejoyable book.

                              4 out of 5 stars Despite cheesy title and terrible cover, it was a nice read........2006-04-21

                              I avoided this book during dozens of trips to the bookstore. The title and the cover seemed too cheesy. However, I finally saw it at Target one day and gave it a chance. I'm glad I did.

                              The Goddess Rules is a nice beach read. The characters are all interesting and the plot is pretty predictable, but I found it enjoyable nonetheless. If you are looking for a fun distraction, this is it.

                                Book Description

                                Few new personal accounts by Waffen-SS soldiers appear in English; even fewer originate from the multitude of non-German European volunteers who formed such an important proportion of this service's manpower. Twilight of the Gods was originally written in Swedish, and published in Buenos Aires shortly after the end of WWII. Erik Wallin, a Swedish soldier who volunteered for service with the Waffen-SS, and participated in the climactic battles on the Eastern Front during late 1944 and 1945, later telling his story to this book's editor, Thorolf Hillblad.

                                Wallin served with the Panzer Reconnaissance Battalion, 11th SS-Panzergrenadier Division Nordland, a unit composed mainly of non-German volunteers, including Danes, Norwegians, and Swedes. The division enjoyed a high reputation for its combat capability, and was always at the focal points of the fighting on the Eastern Front in the last year of the war. During this period it saw combat in the Baltic, in Pomerania, on the Oder, and finally in defence of Berlin, where it was destroyed.

                                Erik Wallin served with his unit in all of these locations, and provides the reader with a fascinating glimpse into these final battles. The book is written with a 'no holds barred' approach which will captivate, excite and maybe even shock the reader - his recollections do not evade the brutality of fighting against the advancing Red Army. Twilight of the Gods is destined to become a classic memoir of the Second World War.

                                5 out of 5 stars Action packed.......2007-07-01

                                I have read the priceless "Forgotten Soldier" and never thought anything could touch it but this book does. The story begins with much of the war already lost for the Germans on the Eastern front and fights on until the final battle for Berlin. My only regret is the story does not start with his experiences from the start. He leaves good detail of the Russians he is fighting and really opens your eyes to the amount of Mongolians and other ethnic groups serving with the reds. A great book and a must have!

                                5 out of 5 stars A Swedish Volunteer in the War Against Communism.......2006-07-01

                                Both Eric Wallin, and the editor, Thorolf Hillblad served as Swedish volunteers in the 11th Waffen-SS PanzerGrenadier Division "Nordland". This was a truly elite division made up of volunteers from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, and even a few Brits. This divsion was, in 1945, the single most effective unit in the defence of Berlin against Stalin's communist hordes. Wallin's description of the communist enemy is quite descriptive. These were, after all, the same enemy that we fought in Korea and Vietnam. I would have liked this book to be longer, covering his experiences as a volunter in Finland fighting the red invasion in 1939, and his earlier experiences in the Waffen-SS. However, this book is still an excellent addition to those interested in Hitler's preemtive war against Stalin, and communism. Those interested in the non-German volunteers that served in the WAffen-SS may want to read the following: "The Last Knight of Flanders" by Brandt, "European Volunteers" by Strassner, "Campaign in Russia" by Degrelle, "The Patriotic Traitors" by Littlejohn, "Charlemagne's Legionnaires" by Landwehr, "Latvian Legion" by Silgailis, and "Galicia Division" by Logusz.

                                1 out of 5 stars Unabashed Nazi Propaganda..... Pure and Simple.......2006-05-17

                                This exceedingly short memoir of a Swedish SS volunteer in the last days of the SS Nordland division in 1945 is short on real specifics yet long on multiple condemnations of the Bolshevik hordes. Wallin through Hillblad (the editor), gives little in detail on his unit or men he fought with. This contrasts with his unrepentant and relentless anti-Soviet propaganda which even reaches out to American flyers. Wallin conveniently forgets a couple of facts: (1) Nazi Germany was the aggressor nation in WWII., and (2) Wallin volunteered to fight for this criminal regime.

                                Apart from this, the quality of the Wallin's writing or recollection and Hillblads editing is very simplistic. Fictional works like the Forgotten Soldier capture the drama and action of the Eastern Front conflict much better and without the speeches. One star only and that is for the few pages of photos at the end of the book. "Twilight of the Gods" yeah, sure Erik.

                                5 out of 5 stars A Superb Personal Account.......2006-03-14

                                This is a very good book. The combat descriptions are unbeatable, and the author provides a wealth of detail on conditions and circumstances during the last year of the war. As other reviews have noted, the author is not a particularly self aware fellow, meaning that he has some strange views about himself and his mission; but those views are an interesting historical fact in themselves. I recommend this book to any Russian Front buff.

                                5 out of 5 stars A very unusual wartime account written by a Waffen-SDS soldier.......2006-01-09

                                Thorolf Hillblad's Twilight Of The Gods provides a very unusual wartime account written by a Waffen-SDS soldier: it's one of the few to appear in English, originating from one of the non-German European volunteers. Originally written in Swedish and published shortly after war's end, it tells of the experiences of Swedish soldier Wallin, who volunteered for service and participated in the battles on the Eastern Front towards war's end. Wallin served in different locations in a division which gained a reputation for its combat capability: Twilight Of The Gods documents his experiences.
