Book Description

A landmark in environmental concerns--this extraordinary book continues the ecological revolution that Rachel Carson started 20 years ago. The risks of pesticide use remain, but the issues today have become conflicts of values. How do we trade off the dangers of toxic chemicals and their cost to the environment with the benefits of higher agricultural productivity? This book presents a daring new look at these very important concerns.

Book Description

This exciting book tells the combat biographies of seven Luftwaffe aces: three day-fighter pilots, one night-fighter pilot, one close-support pilot, and two bomber pilots. This mix of well-known and less famous pilots includes Heinz Bor, who had 221 victories and was an ME 262 ace; Otto Kittel, the fourth-highest Luftwaffe ace with 267 kills; Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer, a leading night-fighter ace with 121 kills; Wilhelm Batz, whose two-year combat career ended with 237 kills in the elite JG 52; Otto Weiss, a close-support pilot in the Hs 123 and Hs 129; Joachim Helbig, who flew the Ju 88 bomber over Malta; and Ludwig Havighorst, who served first with the infantry and then the Luftwaffe, where he flew fifty bombing missions over Stalingrad.

Customer Reviews:

not real history at all.......2005-07-20

...this work originally appeared in the German magazine "Der Landser" under the pen-name of Altmann and is one of Kurowski's more indifferent offerings..the writing style well fits the original 'comic' format. Kurowski is an extremely prolific author but his huge output leaves question-marks over the veracity of much of what he writes here, the rest of it is just sheer hyperbole..eg the lengthy scene wherein Heinz Bär receives a dressing down from Göring...some two pages of dialogue - yet the only two participants died long before Kurowski wrote this....there are no sources, no references, no bibliography...as far as I'm concerned this is pure 'novelisation' ..no other word for it
I also have big issues with the translation ..its a little too over the top..

Great book.......2005-01-30

There is a notable lack of detailed biographical info on many Luftwaffe pilots. Schnaufer and Kittel are legendary, while some like Weiss and Havighorst are less well-known, but deserving of attention. The information is interesting, well-written and would definitely be useful to anyone interested in the individual Luftwaffe members, most of whom do not have full biographies on them.

Not Just the History, but The Men Who Made History.......2004-11-09

This series of "Aces" books from Stackpole is both excellent and eye opening. Most of us who are interested in the history of World War II know the general stories. We know the broad pictures of what happened, when it happened and so on. What was missing, and I didn't even know it, was a sense of who were these men who fought so hard for so long for what most of us thing was a very bad cause.

This book tells the story of seven of the Luftwaffe Aces. Not just fighter pilots but people in all branches of the Luftwaffe: bombers, night fighters, ground support. These men (usually) had joined the Luftwaffe a few years before the war, and unless killed were still flying at the end of the war. They each completed hundreds, if not a thousand missions - not to degrade the 25-35 missions flown by the 8th air force crews.

These men were the best the Luftwaffe could put up. And good men they were. Frank Kurowski, the author of numerous books on World War II has put together a masterpiece.

Book Description

HOW THE LUFTWAFFE FIGHTER ACES ACHIEVED THEIR SUCCESS

The Luftwaffe's leading fighter aces outscored their Allied counterparts astonishingly during World War II--so much so that when the records of these pilots (the Jagdflieger) first became available after the war they were greeted with disbelief. A single ace with a hundred victories might have been credible, but one hundred six aces each recorded one hundred victories or more, and the top scorer claimed three hundred fifty-two. However, postwar research proved that German shoot-down confirmations were given only after rigorous checking.

To discover the secret of the Luftwaffe pilots' success, aviation historian Mike Spick examines the exploits of Nazi Germany's most famous pilots, focusing on the methods and tactics of individual aces, examining the importance of machinery, training, climate, numbers, and theater of war, and using firsthand accounts to put the reader in the pilot's seat. This book is easily the best possible guide to how the German aces achieved such amazing results in battle.

Customer Reviews:

Good book with lots of information.......2007-05-22

As a fan of war history, specially aviation, I liked the book and information presented. Would recommended it.

I hated this book........2007-01-09

I really hated this book.In two different stints as a member of the Military Book Club it is the only book I ever sent back.

Good book, but..........2007-01-05

It is a very good book. I learned some interesting things, but I guess the subject is more deep. I found the book a little incomplete.

Informative and enjoyable.......2005-02-07

Excellent and detailed account of the Jagdflieger aces and the war which they fought in the skies over Europe. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about this incredible TRUE story.

ok book on the luftwaffe.......2003-06-17

I read this book a number of years ago. It gives a very general description of the jagdflieger in world war two. I re-read this book because I recently became interested in ww2 flight simulators. I was trying to gain some tactical insight. While the book does provide some insight, it falls short in this regard. Though a well reseached work with personal interviews from the legendary german aces: Hartmann, Rall ect. It does not break any new ground.

Stunning pictures.......2007-05-12

Mike Fay has done it again with this collection of amazing photos. Each picture tells a unique and compelling story that make you feel the real struggles in Gabon.

Great Book.......2007-04-16

Bought this book for my mother-in-law as a birthday present. She has traveled to Africa many times so it was perfect for her. She was thrilled with the book. The book is spectacular. We would recommend highly.

The most Impressive Book in my Library.......2007-03-08

Having been a member of The National Geographic Society since 1952 and with a library accumulated in that time, I have not seen before Last Place on Earth such a fine book so magnificently produced.

Incredible Adventure and Book.......2007-03-08

As a photographer and a journalist who has a passion for intense travel and the natural world, I think this is one of the most amazing books published in the past 20 years. Passionate, heartbreaking, and beautiful the world and work of Nick Nichols and Mike Fay shown in this book was eye opening. Highly reccomend. Only comment that maybe negative is the size a bulk of the book.

Retrospective.......2007-01-27

This is a beautifully bound book covering a wide range of areas in and about the jungles of Africa. The images are possible only for someone who spent as much time there as these two did, and the breathtaking work shows this condition. The mega-transect journal is a very nice companion to the photographs, and really helps to convey a mood and philosophy of their work. There passion is obvious.

A Singular View of the World.......2004-12-03

Creative people live for those rare moments, often called the `flow state', where time dissolves and a feeling of being totally absorbed in what you are doing takes over. That's what I feel when I spend time with this wonderful book by photographer Eric Meola.

In travels from Asia to Africa to India, Meola shows us images at times lyrical, at times startling, and always perceptive and respectful of his subjects. The sequencing of images throughout the book provide fascinating juxtapositions that add greatly to the overall experience of enjoying this book. In many cases, one almost feels that Meola was invisible while photographing people in many of the remote locations he traveled to.

Viewing Last Places on Earth provides a window on the incredible richness and diversity in our world. It's hard to think of a photographer who has a greater devotion to the medium and mastery of the process than Eric Meola, and it certainly shows in this exceptional book.

STUNNING!!!.......2004-11-09

I had the fortune of assisting Eric in the early 90's on at least six commercial shoots. Although he's been very well known in that world of imaging, IMHO, this is where his true passion is. His first book is FILLED with amazing travel images from front to back. I cannot say enough good things about the images and presentation. First class as expected from my mentor!
