Book Description

This volume, which depicts the fortunes of a U. S. Army logistician in a time of upheaval and deals with problems of moving troops and supplies to far theaters of war, may be read as a personal tract for the times as well as the history. For thirty-five years of service, in a career of first hand experience fighting in the Pacific and Asia and high staff responsibility in Europe and Washington, Jack C. Fuson grappled with fundamental issues of transportation and logistics and amassed a lifetime of knowledge in managing the arteries of war.

In this work the focus is on transportation, the practical art of moving armies, in particular to those operations which have recurred in the wars of this century, when great magnitude and urgency have tested the military resources. For there is a maxim in strategy and logistics - no less true today than in New Guinea, Korea, and Vietnam when General Fuson learned his craft - that success usually goes to the side with the capability to feed in the troops and goods at the superior rate. All through these pages, General Fuson presents vivid examples of the impact of military transportation on the prosecution of war.

Anyone at all concerned with logistic effectiveness and the requirements for mobility in an era of contingency missions will find much in this book to contemplate. Equally important is General Fuson's stark reminder that logistics is the true limitation on strategy and tactics.

Customer Reviews:

Extremely dated.......2001-10-23

Morley's work is very much out of date at this point, and is only reprinted (so far as I can tell) because it is out of copyright and hence can be xeroxed cheaply. For a serious biography and critical assessment of Agrippa, see Charles Nauert, _Agrippa and the Crisis of Renaissance Thought_, which is hard to find but worth it. Morley's book is, however, chatty and enjoyable to read, and includes a number of humorous stories and suppositions about Agrippa's life and work. Morley's assessment of texts is very dubious indeed, although he can hardly be blamed, as he was after all writing in the mid-19th century. Occultists will find this book useless; historians may find some material here, but should start with Nauert. See also Marc van der Poel's book on Agrippa's orations, (...)

IT'S A FAIRLY NICE BOOK BUT DRY AND OF NO USE FOR PERSONS WHO STUDY MAGIC IT CONTAINS SOME USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT THE LIFE OF CORNELIUS AGRIPPA BUT IT'S OCCULT USE IS ZERO ESPECIALY IF YOU HAVE READ AGRIPPAS 3 BOOKS ON OCCULT SCIENCE.ON THE OTHER HAND I WOULD DEEPLY RECOMENT IT FOR PERSONS INTERESTED IN AGRIPPAS LIFE OVERALL ,IN THE WAY SOCIETY AND PEOPLE USE TO (WORK)AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF A WORLD THIS EXTRAORDINARY MAN LIVED IN.

Best surgeon there is.......2007-05-12

I don't own this book, but Dr. Klapper actually performed my 2nd knee surgery after a first doctor botched it. He saved my knee from being totally destroyed and he definately knows that he is talking about when it comes to taking care of your knees.

Knee Exercises.......2007-02-19

Bad left knee and I live in a ski town. These exercises work. So does the heat and cold pain relief recommendation.

Heal Your Knees.......2007-01-09

Book provided understandable explanation of knee injuries, but the most important information for me, were the pictures and descriptions of the exercises that help strengthen your knees prior to considering surgery.

Heal Your Knees.......2005-09-26

I bought this book because I have a damaged miniscus in my knee. This book allowed me to understand what exactly went wrong with my knee. It enabled me to understand my surgeon when he explained my options. It is a good value and well worth the asking price.

The Best.......2005-08-24

Easty to read. Informative. Good exercises that were explained in detail for both land and water exercises. Anyone with knee problems should read this book. It also allayed some of my fears regarding knee surgery as he explained what to expect.

Great fun to read and learn of chuck wagon cooking. Good recipes, hints and suggestions. Simple and clear advice for a novice. Photos are terrific.

Great Cook Book.......2007-01-22

This is a great cook book for Dutch oven cooking or in the oven. Great stories also.

Great book, great food, and great fun.......2007-01-04

There is so much here you won't believe it! I love entertaining and this creates big dishes and they are outstanding. Some fun stories as well along the way.

Great Book, Great Recipes! .......2005-10-27

I admit right up front that I am probably a little biased about this book and Bill's cooking because I am his cousin. But in all honesty, I can say that the recipes are excellent and easy for anyone to make. At family reunions, kinfolk can't wait to eat his dishes. It's great to have these recipes that he and Cliff Teinert have used right in our own kitchens for our own use.

Book Description

Say you want to give your baby and Irish name-either because you of Irish descent or becauseyou simply like the sound of Sinead or Finnega. But where do you find an Irish name? Sprinkledthroughout most naming dictionaries are names that seem to be Irish, but it's difficult to tell: A namethat one book calls Irish might be called Scottish in another, or simply Celtic. And it's evenharder to find Irish names beyond the usual Kevin and Kathleen and Kelly.Instead of a handful of Irish names within a universal name book, this book offers a universe of Irish names from which to choose. Using the same innovative structure that made its parent,Beyond Jennifer amp; Jason, the reigning authority on baby names-and written with just as muchflair and witBeyond Shannon amp; Sean provides the most comprehensive guide to Irish names ever published in America:From Annie to Aine, from Seamus to James-the most popular names in Ireland today, and why there are no Irish girls named Erin or Colleen.From Murphy Brown to the hills of Donegal-melodious place names and family names, and whyno one (not even an O'Kane) ever uses Gofraidh.From Finn MacCool to Sinead O'Connor-names inspired by Irish legends and literature, and real people who have made their names famous.Plus a much-needed guide book to obscure Celtic pronunciations, and more....

Customer Reviews:

Has Minor Flaws But I Love it Anyawy!.......2004-06-16

I have Irish ancestry and I absolutely love Irish names and I bought this book and despite the lack of pronunciations and the few pronunciations they give being questionable I still love this book and all the cool catagories and lists that are so much fun to read and this is definitely my absolute favorite baby name book!

I have found a lot of great boy and girl names that are so different then the typical popular names like Brian, Ryan, Kevin, Shannon, Kelly, Erin, etc, and I highly recommend this cool book!

The book has very minor flaws but I love it anyway and give it five stars for everything that is right about this book!

Beyond Shannon and Sean: An Enlightened Guide to Irish Baby.......2003-08-23

This book is terrible. It is hard to follow and the sequence is illogical. There is no section that simply lists names and meanings...everything is chopped up into silly little chapters. All in all, this book offers little new information. I got a better list of Irish names from a regular baby name book.

Entertaining, Yes, Helpful, No!.......2003-05-28

This book is entertaining and makes a great conversation piece among my Irish relatives and friends but I have to be honest and admit that it's not very helpful or pratical with it's pronunciations or advice and I will be looking into buying some of the other Irish baby name books out there.

Very useful despite minor flaws.......2003-05-06

This book is much better than you would gather from reading the reviews. Although it's true, the pronunciations are not always correct, the book is an excellent source of interesting Irish names. There's also a section of names that are not used in Ireland for humans but which might appeal to people looking for an Irish-sounding name. The book also offers some historical perspectives not in other naming books.

Since Irish is a tough language to pronounce merely by looking at Irish words, it might be a good idea to get a brief overview of the language before wading through the names. It'll help with pronunciation. If you can't be bothered (who has the time?!), just double-check a name you like with a more official Irish source. That's what I do & it's no big deal. I really like the way the book is organized and I enjoy the extra info so it's well worth the price I paid for it, despite its few flaws.

This pair of authors has several other charming naming books. If you're a writer (or a pretender, like me), their little books are very handy.

Disappointing and Frustrating!.......2003-03-23

Having Irish roots and also being interested in names I bought this book when I saw it in an Irish book display in a bookstore while I was shopping on St. Patrick's Day a few years ago and it looked good and I thought now wouldn't this be an interesting book for my collection of Irish books and maybe I will find some nice Irish names for any future children but the book though maybe having an interesting title is actually disappointing when it comes to the reading of the content, there are a lot of names and hardly any pronunciations are given and the few that are I have been told are incorrect and that makes picking a nice unusual Irish name that isn't used alot in the US very difficult if you don't know what the proper pronunciation is, in fact I totally fell in love with the name Mairead but only got embarrassed when I found out from some people from Ireland and Scotland that the two pronunciations this book gives for Mairead including the May Read pronunciation are wrong and they told me that the correct pronunciation of Mairead actually rhymes with Parade and even though I now like the correct pronunciation I am still a little disappointed that the May Read pronunciation is incorrect but I still would have liked to not have gotten the wrong facts about the pronunciation and felt embarrassed. I hope to find an Irish name book that gives pronunciations and meanings of the names, I actually think every name book Irish or the ones that include all different kinds of names should include pronuncitions and phonetically spell them out like in a dictionary. I rate the book 2 stars but really would give it 2 1/2 stars because there are some things in the book I like including the lists of Irish Saint names but the lack of info and the incorrect pronunciations prevent me from giving it 3, 4 or 5 stars.

Book Description

Within the depths of the creative mind wanders the traveler, the obscure stranger seeking fulfillment of the artistic soul. Forever searching, ignorant to boundaries and limitations, self-serving, he often blurs the line between brilliance and madness. Strange Colors on the Canvas is a memoir that finds an identity as unusual as the primary character himself, the gifted but struggling artist; a story passionately told by his own son. It is an intimate account of a strained father-son relationship, an emotional cause-and-effect that shapes itself as an evolution of conflict, contempt, desperation and deliverance. Intensely humorous at times, but often painful and deeply reflective, the order of family is put to the test and the result is a personal journey and discovery and an experience that will touch and enlighten us all.

Customer Reviews:

Often hilarious, sometimes sad, occasionally upsetting.......2003-10-01

This author has a unique ability to create in your mind's eye a colorful vision of what was an often hilarious and, most certainly, an odd and unusual father/son relationship that becomes even more bizarre with the unset of mental illness.
The level of detail remembered and conveyed to the reader allows you to live the experience as he grows to find his relationship with his father is not normal and continues deteriorating until it becomes almost unbearable. The writing style and structure of the book makes for a most enjoyable reading experience. Great writing, you won't be disappointed.

Interesting and colorful reading style - great story!.......2003-09-30

The gist of this book is about a son's relationship with his artist father, who is dealing with a progessive mental illness. I picked this book up because my father has alzheimers. What is unusual about this book is the writing style - it's coloful, dynamic and reflects the emotional states of both father and son, while enveloping the reader within the time period and maturity of the relationship. I couldn't put the book down, and I normally don't like books based on relationships. I again want to say that the writing style of the author is distinct and something that I quite enjoyed. It's analytical and expressive, but not flowery. I would highly recommend this book!

What a Fantastic Surprise!.......2003-09-29

I bought this book thinking it would be a story about a painter..his life complete with struggles and challenges. You know, the ususal biography. Boy, was I surprised! Yes, the book is about a painter but instead of HIS struggles, the reader is taken on a journey into the life of the painter's family...particularly his son. I couldn't put the book down! The author's writing style (son) has a way of drawing you in and really "painting a picture" of how life was growing up in a household where his father and he could just not connect. AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ! I experienced many similarities with my own father and reading this book really helped comfort me knowing "I wasn't the only one."

Judging a Book by Its Cover.......2003-09-23

The title alludes to oil painting, but the picture on the cover hints at the artist himself. Having taken many psychology classes in college 30 years ago, this book would have been welcomed reading. The dynamics between a father and son in dealing with mental illness is both captivating and educational. As the book progresses from a child to a man to a father, the writing style follows. Excellent reading!
