Very small book.......2007-07-23

I haven't had a chance to read the book yet, but with a $30 price tag, I expected a lot more content. Maybe something more in line with Rod Machado's $35 Instrument Pilot Survival Guide.

Great brush-up material.......2001-12-06

Great book for some on-going and last minute brushing up.
Well organized and very well written.

Airline Pilot Technical Interviews.......2000-04-01

Very helpful review of the basic technical and mental math type questions found in most interviews. A very quick read and a MUST for anyone preparing for an airline interview.

Airline Pilot Technical Interviews.......2000-03-25

Also Published Under a Different Name.......2004-01-18

This is THE same book as Financial Reality. If you have one, there's no sense in buying the other. Other than that, this is an excellent, easy to read book explaining how people find themselves in financial trouble and some common sense methods on what you can do about it, or if nothing can be done, how you can deal with the consequences. It could be sub-titled, "Things your parents should have taught you!"

Book Description

Astro-Pack contains all the information needed to start the fascinating hobby of astronomy. "The Night Sky through your Telescope" shows how to set up and use any telescope, how to use a planisphere and star charts, what to see, how to photograph the heavens, and a guide to useful accessories. "Star Finder" shows the planets, stars, and constellations in the northern hemisphere visible month-by-month. The planisphere is a practical hour-by-hour tracker of the constellations in a format big enough to use anywhere in the United States. The 3-map large-scale Star Chart and over 1400 photographs and drawings gives maximum detail on what is observable and can be used anywhere in the world.

My first astronomy package.......2007-05-05

The astro pack comes with a book on things to know about telescopes and what to buy; a star finder month-to-month guide; a star chart for constellations clusters and nebulae and a planisphere. So basically you're getting everything in one package which is great for the newbie's (like myself). All four items are neatly packed in a glossy folder for portability. I learned a lot just reading the book. It's a great book, but there are books out there that you will definately want to add to your collection like "Nightwatch" by Terrence Dickinson who I think gives even more recommendations on telescopes and what to buy. Also definatley "Left Turn at Orion". If you buy all three, you're good to go. Be sure to buy these items BEFORE purchasing a telescope. It's always good to do you homework before making a big investment. I would give it 5 stars, but after reading "Nightwatch" and "Left Turn at Orion", I find these two books simplify astronomy a little more than the astropack, but again the astropack does give great info and comes with great tools to use, but I still recommend you get the other two books in addition which got several great reviews!

A Super Deck!.......2003-06-16

This deck has been out of print for some time now (in the US anyway - in Britain there seem to be many still floating around). So, if you are lucky enough to come across this combination deck and book set in the US - grab it! The complete set does include the cards and a book with illustrations/meanings. I found the book very comprehensive and the deck itself is beautiful. It's definitely whimsical/fairy tale in nature, but the artwork is very well done. This deck is definitely for someone who isn't bothered by the intersection of astrology/tarot, since most of the cards depict the planets and star/zodiac signs. The cards are glossy, and narrower than most tarot decks, but very sturdy. The major arcana is represented as well. The best thing about the deck is how you can read from the pictures alone - there are enough graphics within the card to accurately show the meanings, and the symbolism is really outstanding. Good luck finding this deck, and enjoy it!

Great Work!.......2000-09-14

When I ordered this deck I wasn't sure if I would like it. I saw some cards in a website but I had doubt about the idea of mixing tarot and astrology (chinese AND western astrology!!) in individual cards (no associations or any kind of cross reference). Now I can tell you, it works!

Very interesting combination of different knowledges.... This work has 64 cards: 22 cards of the Major Arcana, the aces of the 4 suits from the traditional Minor Arcana (new begginings in different areas), 12 sun signs of the Western Astrology (the cosmic journey we take through life), 12 signs of the Chinese Astrology (emotions, senses, psychic side and spirituality) and, finally, 14 cards which are all associated with the planets and angles in the Western Astrology (influences around us, karma, lesson and so one).

The illustrations seem to be done to a fairy tale book. They are very pleasant and well done. Using his expertise in astrology, Grant give us a simplistic but interesting interpretations based in the astrological houses.

Book Description

In these essays that survey the burgeoning field of tropical herpetology, former students and associates pay tribute to Jay Savage's four decades of mentoring. The result is a book unlike any other available in tropical herpetology. Covering a wide array of subjects, Ecology and Evolution in the Tropics is the first book in more than two decades to broadly review research on tropical amphibians and reptiles. A tribute to Savage and an invaluable addition to the herpetological literature, this work will be cited for years to come.

An Exciting, Authentic Account of a Classic Aircraft and Great Airmen.......2007-09-03

Barrett Tillman has long been the "gold standard" in naval aviation writing, and nowhere is his expertise more evident than in MiG Master. Long a classic in naval aviation literature, it is a solidly researched, exciting account that blends in equal measure the history of aviation technology, naval strategy, and combat operations, all well-seasoned with a strong "in the cockpit" flavor that is guaranteed to keep the reader firmly glued in the seat from the moment the book is opened until it is finished. Tillman's take is that the F-8 was a crucial fighter at a critical period in Vietnam air war history. Called at the time the "Last of the Gunfighters," it was the most successful air-to-air fighter of the war in classic high-g swirling furball dogfights. Considered by many an anachronism before the war began--an era when air-to-air missiles, then in the early stage of their own development, were hugely overvalued--the F-8 instead proved its mastery over a variety of opponents, all the way from supersonic merges and breaks in the substratosphere to tail-chases at levels so low that reeds in rice paddies were blown about by the F-8's aerodynamic wake. The combat results validated both the expectations of its designers, the training and expertise of its particularly aggressive pilots, and the dedication and skill of its maintainers, both ashore and afloat. Altogether a remarkable book by a remarkable historian, and an evocative portrayal of an era in naval aviation that is, alas, no more.

Very Good F-8 and US Navy Air Combat History Book.......1999-12-30

This book focus only on the F-8, thelast Navy fighter that was designed for gun air combat. You can find very detailed air combat record in Vietnam, including the time, place and names and you can really enjoy the contents and understand the other side of the stories of Navy air combat history in Vietnam

Another fine aircraft history from Mr. Tillman........1998-05-12

Barrett Tillman has long set the standard for aircraft histories, and this volume is an outstanding work dedicated to a unique, often forgotten and under-rated aircraft. The achievements of the F-8 aircraft and its fliers are well covered and entertainingly rendered in this fast reading narrative. An essential work for anyone interested in jet fighters, Vietnam air combat, or air warfare in general.
