      5 out of 5 stars An Ounce of Prevention.......2006-10-25

      Lawsuits against churches are escalating, as the social constraints against suing clergy break down.

      This is the perfect book for pastors and other religious workers who want to avoid lawsuits. The authors are practicing lawyers, writing for non-lawyers. They provide real-life examples of the most common lawsuits, then show how they could have been prevented.

      The book is very reasonably priced. It will pay for itself thousands of times over when a single lawsuit is stopped.

            2 out of 5 stars This book is crap.......2005-09-27

            Ok, I will be clear that I am not reviewing this exact book, but the purely organic chemistry book that is a 1991 version that I got at the library. I have never actually taken organic chemistry. I was hoping to get a leg up, and this was the only book at the library on it, so I checked it out. And I am finding it terribly lacking in explanation. It is all problems and little explanation. It takes one paragraph and one example to explain something, which isnt enough to cover all aspects of the topic to where one can understand it, then it proceed to give you problems that you cant really work, but you follow through them and try to understand why they work, and most of the time there is a short explanation as to why the answer is the correct one. There are handy little charts here and there that make things a little easy, although it needs more. I have been able to grasp most of the information due to this book, but there are key topics that are recurring that I dont fully understand and it doesnt matter how much I read that one paragraph, I dont fully get it. Afterwards I went online to clear up the discrepencies, and I easily got it. From the review here, it sounds like this book is better than taking the class. I hope that is not the case. But I can tell you from the standpoint of someone that has never studied organic chemistry, but has taken general chemistry, this book is insufficient as a textbook.

            Recall that ordinary salt is a compound of sodium and chlorine. List several systems that can be defined in a shaker full of salt.

            5 out of 5 stars If you love O. Chem... what's wrong with you?!.......1998-04-04

            I have found the Schaum's Review series very helpful both in review and in independent study, especially for Organic Chemistry. Many times, chemistry students fail to learn key concepts not because they are incomprehensible (thankfully) but rather because they were either explained badly or simply explained in a way that does not make sense to a student. This book explains all the key concepts and includes almost 2000 problems to make sure you understand O. Chem. clearly even if you're so sick of it you're comtemplating shoving an Erlenmyer full of benzene down your professor's Organic throat. Buy it, and save your sanity.

                This book gives a common treatment to three areas of application of Global analysis to Mathematical Physics previously considered quite distant from each other. These areas are the geometry of manifolds applied to classical mechanics, stochastic differential geometry used in quantum and statistical mechanics, and infinite-dimensional differential geometry fundamental for hydrodynamics.

                  Book Description

                  In late September 1941 the war in the east was approaching a climax. Since the beginning of the German invasion on 22 June 1941, Soviet forces had suffered the staggering loss of over 2 million troops. Operation Typhoon began and in the first week of the offensive, the three German panzer armies surrounded virtually the bulk of the Soviet forces barring the way to Moscow. This title details the dramatic battle that took place right up to the suburbs of Moscow itself, and the defeat which altered Hitler's strategic management of the war.

                  4 out of 5 stars Pretty detail account of the campaign........2007-03-24

                  Reading Robert Forczyk's Moscow 1941 proves to be quite an adventure. I found the book to be quite detail for an Osprey Campaign series and it proves to be well written and researched. As detail as the book may be, its written clearly enough that it should provide almost anyone a pretty good introduction to this campaign.

                  The maps, illustrations and photos included in this book proves to be pretty good. There are a lot of details on the maps, perhaps too much although that can be bit subjective. I enjoyed the maps myself but I was told by others that it was too crammed.

                  The book provides a pretty good understanding of the campaign, the author provides a balance view and do away with many misrepresentations and legends of the campaign. I am pleased that the many of the point of views the author take on the campaign reflects my own.

                  Only real error I spotted was when the author mistaken a Panzer IVD at Aberdeen Proving Grounds for Panzer IVE, a minor mishap. I also thought maybe he was too hard on General Heinz Gudrian considering the state of his forces prior to Typhoon.

                  Overall, a pretty good book that should be read by anyone interested in the Russian front of World War II. One of the better Osprey Campaign books written.

                  5 out of 5 stars Outstanding.......2007-02-23

                  There are a lot of fascinating What Ifs about World War II -what if Hitler had not pulled up his panzers before Dunkirk, if the Luftwaffe had not switched bombing from airfields to London in the Battle of Britain, if the U.S. carriers had been caught at Pearl Harbor, if the German's had deployed ME-262 jets in 1943, if the Germans had repulsed the allies at Normandy, etc? But it wasn't until I read R.H.S. Stolfi's book, Hitler's Panzer's East, that I realized that the only What If in World War II that matters was on the eastern front in 1941. The great historian Paul Johnson wrote in Modern Times of Barbarossa "Yet it was a gamble that might have succeeded." Had the Germans knocked the Soviet Union out of the war in 1941, and they came frightening close, the world as we know it would have been much different, and not for the better.

                  I've read Seaton's Battle for Moscow, Glantz's Barbarossa, Erickson's Road to Stalingrad, etc. but while they tell what happened, I wasn't satisfied as far as why it happened. And the maps were inadequate in all of them. It's frustrating when a book says this town was taken or that river crossed and you have no idea where it is. When I saw that Dr. Robert Forczyk - whose numerous book reviews I have greatly enjoyed - had written a book on the Moscow 1941 campaign, I had to have it! The book did not disappoint.

                  Right off the bat, Dr. Forczyk addresses what I believe is was the turning point of World War II: If in August 1941, had the Germans gone straight for Moscow, could they have taken it and gone on to win the war in the east, thereby assuring domination of the continent? Forczyk says no; the Germans had to clean up their southern flank before they could march on Moscow.

                  But the majority of the book covers what actually happened in Operation Typhoon, the German offensive on the central front that began in early October and ran until early December. Forczyk has done for Operation Typhoon what the book "Shattered Sword" did for the Battle of Midway; i.e., dispel numerous commonly held beliefs about the campaign. Weather, logistics, force size and readiness on both sides, T-34 tanks, Siberians, the Luftwaffe, performance of the German generals -all are addressed. You will understand why the offensive failed after reading this book.

                  This is the first Eastern Front book I have ever read that has decent maps showing every town, river and road mentioned in the text. This book is worth buying for the maps alone. It is also extremely well-written. I enjoyed the photos, none of which I had never seen before.

                  I'd love to see Dr. Forczyk write a full-length book on Barbarossa, with special emphasis on what if the Germans had gone for Moscow in August instead of October. The consensus seems to be they could have taken it, but would that have been decisive? Also, if the Germans had not made the mistakes they did in Typhoon, and captured Moscow, would it have been decisive?

                  To summarize, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the WWII Eastern Front.

                  1 out of 5 stars War history.......2007-01-11

                  I thought I was getting another book by the same title; an interesting account of life in Moscow during the war. Instead this is a rather pedantic and impersonal account of troop movements. Oops.

                  1 out of 5 stars Rich in irrelevent details.......2006-10-27

                  This is not the worst book in millitary history I've read but comes pretty close. It is essentially a mechanical and unimaginative narration of facts in chronological order. It has details such as; a particular German division had this many killed and this many injured during this particular battle or 4 of a particular kind of Russian machine guns was distributed to each infantry divison...etc. All of these trivial facts have probably been painstakingly researched and verified and are accurate. There are many excellent high quality detailed color maps of battle fields.

                  But the most bizzare aspect of this book is that mixed in with all the minute insignificant details are fantastic startegic observations that flies in the face of convential beliefs (e.g. Hitler's military decisions were superior to his professional commanders; even if it was summer then Hitler would still have been defeated due to logistic problems as weather was just a minor contributing factor to German defeat...etc.). But a careful reading of the text shows that author has no real evidence to support his unorthodox grand observations. One suspects that the mass of detail is produced to hide author's lack of evidence in big observations.

                  3 out of 5 stars An OK book, but draw your own conclusions.......2006-10-22

                  I can't fully agree with the glowing reviews which other readers have given this book. Yes, the author does dispel some misconceptions about `Operation Typhoon' and the subsequent Soviet counter-offensive - regards the weather, Soviet reinforcements etc.

                  However, his description of Hitler's strategy as 'militarily sound' in the introduction coupled with his strong criticism of the operational decisions taken by some of the German generals leads me to question the author's judgement.

                  There is also one GLEARING OMISSION in the author's account - namely Hitler's strict order that NO GERMAN SOLDIER was to enter the Soviet capital - the city was instead to be besieged and then literally raised to the ground by aerial/artillery bombardment.

                  I think this is an important (and hardly ever discussed) reason why the Wehrmacht did not take Moscow in 1941!!!

                    Book Description

                    Challenging the conventional interpretation of Mary of Guise as the defender of Catholicism whose regime climaxed with the Reformation Rebellion, this book shows that she was, on the contrary, a shrewd and effective politician whose own dynastic interests and those of her daughter took precedence over her personal and religious convictions. Detailed is how Mary of Guise's dynasticism, and political career as a whole, were inextricably associated with those of Mary, Queen of Scots, whose Scottish sovereignty, Catholic claim to the English throne, and betrothal to the Dauphin of France carried with them notions of Franco-British Imperialism.

                    5 out of 5 stars At last - a serious study of a sixteenth-century queen,.......2003-12-16

                    Ritchie's skillful narration of this difficult and controversial period has provided by far one of the best books as yet available on the politics of sixteenth century Scotland, but is also a must-see for anybody interested in the dynastic politics of France and England.

                    16th century Europe is one of the most fascinating periods in history, populated by some of the such colourful and well-known figures as Henry VIII, Mary, Queen of Scots, Elizabeth I and Bloody Mary. It is also a century, as the names listed above suggest, that features a large number of women in positions of power. Mary of Guise, mother of Mary Queen of Scots, was another of these powerful political women.

                    The side-effect of the colourful nature of the lives of some of these women is that sixteenth-century history books often read like little more than romantic fiction. They play up the history of personalities (often based on poor research and quasi-psychological guesswork), but ignore the serious side of the women who ruled some of the most powerful kingdoms in Europe.

                    Pamela E. Ritchie does not make this mistake. Her book is a serious study of a serious woman, and is based on meticulous and extensive research. But the book is no turgid academic tome, and Ritchie manages the difficult trick of providing a thoroughly readable and engaging study of the career and ambitions of a fascinating woman. Mary of Guise has traditionally been written off in Scotland as the main agent of an unpopular French/Catholic domination of Scotland that took place in the 1550s, which was overturned by the popular revolution of John Knox's Reformation in 1560. Ritchie shows this was not the case. Instead Guise, for most of the 1550s, enjoyed considerable support from Scots, and her plans for a dynastic union of the French and Scottish crowns by the marriage of Mary Queen of Scots to the Dauphin Francois was supported by Catholic and Protestant Scots alike. Guise, above all, was a skilled politician who carefully balanced the difficult circumstances of the dynastic conflicts of sixteenth-century Europe to best pursue the interests of her own family (les Guises) and her daughter, the monarch of Scotland. That her regime collapsed in 1560 as a result of a rebellion brought about as much by the role of a new protestant regime in England as any deep-seated popular hatred of the French influence in Scotland, should not obscure the successes of her time in power.

                    3 out of 5 stars 16th century Scottish politics.......2003-11-16

                    The key to the contents of this book is in its subtitle - "1548-1560 A Political Study".

                    The author has done a lot of original research into Scottish politics during the minority of Mary, Queen of Scots and in reality this is what you'll find in this book and it takes up 99% of the first half of the book.

                    We get to see Mary de Guise in a more biographical form in the second half of the book. However, if you buy this book expecting to read a biography of Mary de Guise you will probably be disappointed. While Mary's political actions are dealt with in great detail, in the end you feel you really don't know that much about her. Instead you know more about how King Henri of France felt about Scotland, or the importance of various treaties than you do about Mary herself.

                    This is a first rate book for those who want to know the ins and outs of the various political schemes in Scotland from 1548-1560 but less successfully gives us a real feel for the personality of Mary of Guise. On the plus side the author has included a number of quotes from original documents in both their original French and with English translations for those of us not fluent in the French language and all the sources are well footnoted.

                        Are there aliens watching you right now? After reading Rudy Rucker's Saucer Wisdom, you'll wonder. Rucker's "nonfiction novel" follows the author as he works with a saucer contactee who has bales of information about the future and expects him to make a book out of it. Written straight, it presents the author's vision of future technology as though benevolent aliens were filling him in, though some of the details seem suspiciously similar to his novels. It's brilliantly funny, prescient, and as fully engaging as a coffee-fueled late-night conversation with a slightly manic genius. From the aloof-yet-naughty aliens (they refuse to show his contactee friend the future of artificial intelligence because it's "boring") to the detailed, personalized visions of future people's technology, Saucer Wisdom shines with a humanity firmly rooted right here on Earth.

                        Rucker's style is perfect for this material, and his imagination soars. What if aliens travel through complex interstellar radio signals and are attracted to chaos? What if we develop telepathy transmitted over television? What if we perfect genetic engineering? It wouldn't occur to other futurists to suggest a half-dozen pet compsognathii in the backyard of the future, but Rucker goes a step further and literally draws a picture. The 57 illustrations--attributed to Frank the contactee--highlight the text like James Thurber on acid. Saucer Wisdom could have been as boring as most other future histories, but it seems that "the William S. Burroughs of cyberpunk" can't help but write good books. Lucky for us. --Rob Lightner

                        Book Description

                        Rudy Rucker, a world-famous mathematician and a descendant of the philosopher Hegel, is the author of a number of popular science books including the bestselling The Fourth Dimension. In Saucer Wisdom, he creates a non-fiction novel, using himself as the central character. Rucker the character, is given views of the future of technology and society, especially in California, by a man abducted by the inhabitants of a tiny flying saucer.

                        3 out of 5 stars entertaining but not one of Rucker's better works.......2006-07-03

                        Saucer Wisdom is Rudy Rucker's "nonfiction" book describing the travels of a man he meets after one of his lectures who has been in contact with aliens. Rucker asks the man, Frank Shook, to ask various questions of the aliens--about the future of communications, bioengineering, travel, the nature of time, and transhumanity. The book amounts to a future history of the world according to Rudy Rucker, the elements of which are familiar to anyone who has read Rucker's other books (in particular the Software/Wetware/Freeware/Realware series, and especially the last two).

                        The "nonfiction" narrative structure makes for a more entertaining book than this would otherwise be--while the future developments Rucker envisions are interesting, without the story it would be more like a series of encyclopedia entries.

                        The conceit within the book of this book being popular thousands of years in the future is pretty ridiculous--this is not one of Rucker's better works.

                        3 out of 5 stars Fun read... don't take it seriously.......2005-04-16

                        This book is not about flying saucers. The flying saucer plot is just the narrative device used by Rucker to allow him to dump from his brain a collection of very imaginative ideas about what technological advances we may make over the next few thousand years. Some of the ideas are actually really clever and interesting... and then, a bit too often, they get really silly and much less believable. But, that is where you have to realize that the book is not to be taken so seriously. If you can do that, you should enjoy the book all the way thru... it's a quick read.

                        I wouldn't recommend this for hard-core sci-fi folk, but rather for the casual sci-fi reader who is looking for something off the wall, and also maybe for someone looking to kick-start their imagination.

                        ____________________________________

                        Just finished this "speculative nonfiction" book by one of my
                        favorite SF writers. Eh. It's structured "as told by" a UFO abductee
                        (nudge, wink), or as B. Sterling writes in the intro: "This book is not
                        the puerile ravings of a UFO-stricken madman, but a *firmly
                        controlled, intelligent* hallucination...."

                        Umm. The ideas are mostly recycled from Rucker's fiction (where I
                        much preferrred them), and told in the kind of fake-future dialog
                        that I've always *loathed* in pop-sci books. Admittedly, RR's
                        novelistic talent shines through at times, but it's a pretty clunky
                        book overall.

                        The morning after finishing "Saucer Wisdom", the Nov 99 Analog
                        arrived, and Tom Easton notes, in a generally favorable review, that he prefers RR's
                        pop-sci books to his fiction. Although I agree with Easton's reviews
                        more often than not, I think just the opposite here; I tried another Rucker pop-sci AWB, and
                        put it down after a few chapters.

                        So who knows? Maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't. Eh.

                        4 out of 5 stars The future through the eyes of a flying saucer..........2003-12-03

                        Well, the flying saucer is not a real saucer, but a device used by Rudy Rucker to allow us to see the future through the eyes of a character, Frank Shook, who travels through time with the aliens. We learn about how things will change, or how Rudy THINKS things will change, in the future. He writes about transhumanity, alien races, faster-than-light space travel, time travel, cloning, future forms of communication, energy sources, farming, organic houses, hardware, software and even wetware. All of it becomes, like much of what we discover, a cause and effect series of events, as one idea brings about another. Not as serious as Wells' 'A Story of The Days to Come' or as detailed as Stapledon's 'Last And First Men' it IS funny, interesting and will make you think.

                        2 out of 5 stars The World According to Rudy.......2001-10-01

                        Rudy Rucker has been contructing a future in his Software-Wetware-Freeware-Realware series of novels, as well as the closely-related future of "The Hacker & The Ants," so it should come as little surprise that the future presented here is one-and-the same.

                        What IS surprising is how lamely it is all presented. The basic premise is that a saucer abductee named Frank Shook tells Rudy the future as it was revealed to him by aliens, but I guess Rudy wasn't counting on any of his previous readers getting ahold of this book, because this future is all-too familiar to us. By presenting his various ideas for future biotech advances in short vignettes "as told to Frank Shook" Rudy saves himself the trouble of crafting a coherent plotline to contain them. In fact, one of the entries in Rudy's "Seek!" collection of non-fiction was a "Tech Notes toward a Cyberpunk Novel," a sort-of shorthand collection of cool ideas he'd like to incorporate into some future novel.

                        "Saucer Wisdom" reads like an expansion of "Tech Notes" -- lots of jumbled ideas (some quite cool, others not) but nothing yet written to place them into the context of a story. This is not really a novel, not really a book of predictions (like Ray Kurzweil's "The Spiritual Machine"), but more of a notepad of ideas which Rudy has toyed with over the past decade.

                        The book could have had fun with the self-referential aspect of it, but instead took a tone I found a little annoying -- saying several times that this exact book, "Saucer Wisdom," was to become so influential that it actually creates the future it describes and remains intensely popular into the 40th Century.

                        He wishes.

                          Book Description

                          McKee wrote in 1925 that "The Protestant tradition, which holds up to popular scorn Dame Elizabeth Barton, O.S.B., commonly known as the maid of Kent, has been received without question by many generations. Only in recent years have a few historians undertaken to study her case impartially, and to shift out the truth from the falsehoolds and misrepresentations with which it has so long been overlaid". My little book contains the truth about Dame Barton and the holy church that she co-founded with St. Bishop Fisher.

                          This book was designed for those that are newly converted to our church and for those that have an earnest design to learn more about the Tarish Rite Apostolic Church.
