Best Dictionary for Basic Terms.......2005-03-17
This is for researchers who have modest training in statistics but have to use it or read it. Coverage is limited to lower-division stuff. Advanced mathematical statistics is completely left out. The definitions are thorough and clear and there are many figures that do a good job of illustrating the concepts. For the intended audience, I think this is the best statistics dictionary. Vogt's Dictionary of Statistics and Methodology 2/e targets the same audience, but Sahai & Khurshid have done a much better job. I left off one star just because, if they had not restricted the coverage so much, this fine dictionary would have been useful to a lot more people.

Customer Reviews:
fun stuff.......2005-12-22
The Mr. Pooters Section of this book is alone worth the price. But there is a lot more too. Makes a great gift for someone who wants to laugh.
Satan vs. Santa .......2005-12-05
The Satan vs. Santa letter is one of my favorite letters of the book. Christmas in Hell is a fun and easy read. If you're tired of the old boring Christmas letters we all get, then take this book and stuff it ... into your stocking.
Take THAT Aunt Sylvia.......2005-12-05
Are you sick of holiday greetings touting your cousin Ricky's rise to power at the local Pottery Barn? Or tired of hearing about Aunt Sylvia's brushes with greatness ("I'm pretty sure it was Tony Orlando")?
Well, the yuletide yammerings of "Christmas in Hell" put them all to shame. Wait until the family hears about Devon Landrews, who was recently promoted to Junior Vice President of VP Operations. Or his Uncle Walton's chance meeting with Joe Pesci at the market (sadly, this was also a case of mistaken identity).
This book is great for some Christmas laughs, and reminds you `tis the year for caring and sharing. And sharing. And sharing. And sharing...
Who knew Uncle George had so much in common with - Satan?!
humor forced.......2005-12-04
Loved the title, but I found the book's humor to be forced. The author seemed to be trying too hard. Would have to say avoid it if you wanted a stocking stuffer or good gag gift.
Fun & fast read.......2005-12-01
The pirate kid writing to Santa, the Lucifers summer vacationing in Phoenix and the actor living in a walk in closet with two other actors were funny as "hell." Anyone who has read Lent's magazine columns or other book knows his sense of humor is playful and absurd. Also, very visual with words jumping at you like a mongoose. This book will fit easily in a coat or back pocket for reading on the flight home over the holidays.

Standard Bearer for Fifty Years and Still Going Strong.......2007-04-23
Author Gerald Reitlinger's masterpiece, The SS: Alibi of a Nation, 1922-1945, was first published in 1956. This book, in the 50 years since its publication, has been used, and rightly so, as a vital sourcebook by countless other authors penning their own works on a variety of topics concerning not only the SS, but the rise and fall of Hitler's empire.
The reason the book is so well-regarded is that the author's research encompassed an extensive review of the information then available (i.e., by 1956) on the SS, its major personalities, and its inner workings, including a review of exhaustive documentation produced at numerous post-war trials of accused German war criminals, a task many authors following in Mr. Reitlinger's footsteps did not bother to undertake.
Although Mr. Reitlinger's footnotes often disclose his biases, the text pretty much sticks to the known, or suspected facts. In so doing, Mr. Reitlinger often informs the reader that certain facts or events are disputed (or at least the subject of selective memories) and provides his opinion on what he believes actually, or probably, happened. The result is an intelligent, well-informed, and detailed history of the SS in its entirety.
The book would ordinarily get 5 stars based on its meticulous research and reasoned writing, but does not, and realistically cannot, receive the highest rating because the results of that research are now over 50 years old and have been superceded in many ways by disclosures that have come to light in the last half century.
The book includes 3 maps that are not that useful, a sprinkling of photos (all of which are terribly reproduced), and 20 pages of mini-bios (as of 1956 and never updated) of major figures linked in one way or another to the SS.
Although some people, in reviewing this book, portray Mr. Reitlinger's history of the SS as proving the SS was a "state within a state" that is a conclusion in fact rejected by Mr. Reitlinger, who writes, on page 2 of his book: "Often the SS has been described as a 'state within a state', but that had been the ideal of its creators and had never become an achievement. In the nineteen-forties the SS no longer possessed any unified purpose at all."
In fact, it is this theory of the SS as a "state within a state" that is the "alibi of a nation" Mr. Reitlinger wants to debunk in his book. He concludes, at pages 451-52 of his book, that the concept of the SS as a "state within a state" is nothing but a "myth".
In sum, a fine work but, given its age, one that needs to be read with caution, especially as to conclusions that may be based on then known, or purported, facts now superceded by more recent biographies and histories.
Very informative............2006-03-24
Good book overall. The book really is not just about the SS, but the Third Reich as well. For many people (myself included), the Third Reich was a bewildering array of ministries (some with redundant functions) as well as sub-departments. This book goes into great detail about the interaction between these various ministries and departments (some state and some party) that collaborated in the Final Solution.
My two gripes are the written jests in the text and the some of the information is either outdated or incorrect. I would still recommend this book.
There is no accounting for some people's views.......2004-07-29
I'm reading Reitlinger's book now, having read several others on Nazi germany and the SS. I now know where much of the material from later works have come from ... it is this book.
If this is the first real book on the SS it is an extraordinary achievement by the author - in the detail, its readability, and the author's ability to put together the complex and evil web of the SS apparatus, without being difficult or depressing to read (as many others are). Truly stands the test of time.
I can hardly believe the comments of a recent reviewer, maurice9, and would urge potential readers to ignore it. A brillant book, easily best in its class.
Disappointing.......2004-05-05
Disappointing. Narration uneven,. Many factual mistakes. Dated.
Look for a more contemporary presentation on SS
Maybe the most informative of its kind.......2004-04-11
This book is an exceptional work, and I must first point out that while it is crammed full of factual information, intimate conversations, the overall scheming and intra-party politics in the formation of the SS and the constant power struggles, this book is by no means a dry, statistical type of read, only suitable for the determined historian. It is not always easy to keep track of the major (and minor) personalities and their constant intrigue and subterfuge at all levels, but the author does a masterful job of balancing the, at times, overwhelming amount of information with a very personal and intimate flair keeps the reader awake and engaged in the story as it develops.
Mark Werger, an author of many books on the SS, recently stated this was easily in the top 10 of best books he had read, and I can see why. When you finish this book you will have a much more throrough understanding of the SS thanks to the painstaking and meticulous research performed by Gerald Reitlinger. It is so informative you will probably never part with it if you are truly interested in the subject.
