Excelent book.......2007-01-11
An excelent help for managing a business. Very practical, proven in real businesses and related with high level strategy
Absolutely Fantastic.......2004-03-02
WITHOUT QUESTION this book is the best practical business text I have ever read. Thank you Robert for unequivocally adding value - in a meaningful and tangible way that can be taken to the market and capitalised on. It's books like this that inspire me to invest (what would otherwise be leisure) time in learning & continuing my education.
The book is clear, concise, comprehensive & practical, and helped wrap together many general strategy concepts into an effective action based set of implementation tools. VERY, VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Comprehensive Integration with Strategy, Easy to Implement.......2000-03-10
I rarely get excited about textbooks, but this particular treatment of strategy, balancing leading and lagging indicators with a view of past, present and future, was enlightening. This book should be a "must read" for any mid- or senior- level manager. It shows how to make your decisions more fact-based and less 'art'. With the coming of age of "management of knowledge" this is a great tool to use to improve business processes. Definitely worth every single penny spent - but especially if you are interested in learning tangible methods!

Easy to grasp and yet informative.......2000-06-19
This textbook ties everything together very well and in a proper sequence which makes it easy for the reader to understand. Graphical approac made the linkage even more easier and understandable. The cases were quite good too and aid students in applying the concept. Certainly a suitable book for anyone who wants to see how management accounting takes place in an organization .

Let's go on an adventure........2006-01-13
Don't let the cover fool you. This is not a storybook for young children. It is a collection of short stories with epic themes utilizing slightly more comical characters. For example, you may have a turtle and a parrot who are the best of friends that get into a battle with an evil entity ending with a car dropping on someone's head.
For children between the fifth and eighth grade, this book may encourage less inclined readers to pick up a book. Parents can rest easy that this book is a notch up from those fad novels about Pokemon or comic books. It is also not particularly violent though struggle is a meaningful part of the plot.
The greatest assets of the book are its "Aesop's Fables" style morals. In the style of a Lord of the Rings adventure, this book contains memorable characters and universal idealism.
It is possible to use this book to teach a classroom of comparable reading level or it can even be used as a reading aid for those video game locked monsters we create in our living rooms.
Book Description
In his monumental work Bloody Shambles, Volume Two, Christopher Shores described in detail the British retreat out of Burma, culminating at the end of May 1942. The monsoon then brought operations on land and in the air virtually to a halt for several months as the British and Indian forces prepared to retake Burma.
The Japanese however, had very different ideas. Air War for Burma picks up the story from the beginning of June 1942 and follows the hard-fought campaigns through to the end of the war in August 1945. Here the activities of the RAF and USAAF during the desperate fighting of 1942-44, resulting ultimately in victories at Imphal and Kohima, are fully recounted. No less a forgotten air force than was the 14th 'Forgotten Army', the RAF particularly was denied the most modern and effective aircraft until late in the fighting, struggling to survive with obsolescent equipment against frequently superior Japanese machines.
Described herein are the operations during the First and Second Arakan Campaigns; support for the Chindits in their long-range penetrations deep into enemy-held territory; the savage sieges of Imphal and Kohima; and the final victorious advance across the plains of Central Burma to Mandalay and Rangoon. Detailed also are the activities over the Indian Ocean and the East Indies of the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers and the aircrews of the Fleet Air Arm.
Painstakingly researched from official sources, log books, letters and interviews, this is far and away the best reference work on the subject, and completes the set.

Fitting Conclusion to a Definitive Air War Trilogy!.......2007-01-14
Christopher Shores' monumental history of the air war in Southeast Asia from 1942 to 1945 wraps up with this Grubb Street volume covering "the long road back" following the British defeat in Burma. Marked by impeccable research, this volume and the others in the BLOODY SHAMBLES set constitute the definitive story of that little-known air campaign.
Picking up immediately after the British retreat from Burma, Shores charts the Allies regrouping, resurgence and ultimate triumph over the Japanese. The Southeast Asia theater was considered a backwater by the Allied High Command, British Southeast Asia air units making do, for example, with Mohawks, Blenheims and Hurricanes for far too long. Eventually re-equipped with modern aircraft like Spits, Mosquitoes and Beaufighters, RAF units were joined by USAAF units flying P-51s, B-25s, B-24s, etc. in supporting Allied ops such as the Arakan campaigns, support of the Chindits and Merrill's Marauders and the push into Burma.
Shores crams a lot of information into 381 pages of text but AIR WAR FOR BURMA is eminently readable. (Appendices take up another 46 pages). The volume features over 220 photographs, many previously unpublished, along with area maps.
Though other books have dealt with this subject over the years, Shores' trilogy will stand the test of time as being the definitive account. His research into and use of official British, Japanese and American records along with personal reminiscences combine to produce a fresh, comprehensive and factual account of a geographically wide-ranging air campaign.
This is military aviation history at its finest.
*****
An aside: In reading AIR WAR FOR BURMA, it was eye-opening to read of the over-claiming that resulted from the air combats fought. By utilizing Allied records and surviving Japanese records, Shores was able to uncover and present the first accurate account of those long-ago combats.

From the Back Cover
The whooping crane, over four feet in height, and with a seven-foot wingspan, is undoubtedly the most elegant and beautiful of all North American birds. It once flourished in the vast marshlands of a primitive North American continent. With the taming and development of this land, however, this species almost vanished. By the 1940s there were only 20 left. The species, characterized now as the "Symbol of North American Conservation," has been brought from the brink of oblivion, and now in 1966 numbers close to 200.
The success of the recovery effort is due to the work of a wide range of dedicated people over a half-century. These were aviculturists, biologists, federal, state, and provincial officials, zoo keepers, and a far-sighted U.S. Congress.
This book is their story and is compiled by one of those most directly involved in the crane's recovery--Jerome J. Pratt. A founding member of the Whooping Crane Conservation Association, Jerry applied his skills as an aviculturists to developing and promoting a practical strategy for captive breeding these birds.
