Hit the Beach Running..........2003-12-17
I found this book to be an excellent resource for understanding the obstacles the Allied forces faced when storming the beaches. There are two pages devoted to various beach obstacles. There are also two pages devoted to St-Mere-Englis, including a map. Modellers of World War II will definately find this book useful. It is a quick and enjoyable read.

From the supplier: Tax matters account for 50% of all malpractice claims against certified public accountants, and all accountants practicing tax should be aware of the AICPA's Statements on Responsibilities in Tax Practice. These AICPA guidelines are intended to be advisory and not binding, but states are increasing integrating these standards into the codes that bind accountants. The IRS and the courts are likely to find these standards of professional conduct persuasive as well.

Book Description
Insider's account of European mercenaries, locals and UN forces in Zaire's breakaway Katanga province in 1961.
Customer Reviews:
Hardship and Toil in a Dangerous Place.......2001-08-03
Mike Hoare's leadership qualities truly stand out in "The Road to Kalamata: A Congo Mercenary's Personal Memoir". Hoare's narrative relates the trials by fire that he and his men underwent in the crucible of the Congo in 1960-1961 as a simple supply trip, scheduled to take just a couple of weeks, turned into months of bitter struggle with stifling heat, rains that turned roads into bogs, disease, and occasional brushes with bad guys.
Hoare was hired by Moïse Tshombe, the leader of the breakway province of Katanga, to provide what were basically military and protection services for a contract period, with the blessings of the former Colonial power in the Congo, Belgium. Hoare and his men delivered the goods after the rest of the country fell apart and succumbed to a military coup, led by Army Chief of Staff Col. Joseph Desire Mobutu.
The Katanga province never achieved international recognition and eventually folded under increasing internal threats and UN pressure.
Nonetheless, Hoare's book makes for fascinating reading, with maps and photographs to spur the story along and keep interest high. Hoare's genuine love and concern for his men shines through page after page, and his selfless efforts to recover two men who turn up missing after an evacuation, and his grief at their terrible fate, are the most moving parts of the book.
Hoare retuned to the Congo in 1964 to take part in the fight to save the lives of civilians trapped in the brutal Simba uprising. Please see "Congo Warriors", and "Congo Mercenary", two more fine books by Hoare.
Book Description
In May of 1803 the first Russian expedition around the world set sail from Kronstadt. It sailed by way of Denmark, England, Tenerife, Brazil, Nukahiva, Kamchatka, Japan, China, St. Helena, and Scotland before making its way home. On this two-hundred-year anniversary of the expedition, Victoria Joan Moessner brings us the first English translation of the uncensored, personal diary kept by Hermann Ludwig von Löwenstern (1771-1836), the fourth officer on the lead ship Nadezhda under Captain Adam Johann von Krusenstern.
Significantly, because Löwenstern never published his diary, it was not submitted to the official censorship process that scrutinized and altered all publications in Tsarist Russia. Thus it contains frank descriptions of historical events, arguments, sightings, and opinions that were left out or removed from other accounts that were subject to editorial scrutiny, and makes a particularly critical contribution to our knowledge about the history and politics of nineteenth-century Russia and the lands visited by the expedition. For example, the diary contains new and important information about the continuing strife between Captian Krusenstern and the first Russian Ambassador to Japan, Nicolai Petrovich Resanoff.
Moessner supplements her superb translation with a historical and methodological introduction and a timeline of important events. Her international research also uncovered fascinating paintings and sketches, many of them never published, that are included in this volume in high-quality color and black and white plates. Augmented by these impressive editorial elements, Löwenstern's diary is now available in fine form to a wide audience—two hundred years after he set sail.

A good manual.......2006-09-20
If you have cracks growing in a house founded on clay soil, then you need this book. Read this book before you pay any money to anyone to do anything to your house. It's only 100 pages long, but it tells you everything you need to know to take action (or inaction) on your house as appropriate. Money and time you spend on this book will be the best investment you can make on your house.

Book Description
This guide provides practical guidance for homeowners whose properties have been affected by subsidence, or heave, or who are concerned by the potential risk of damage. The first, best-selling, edition dealt specifically with the problems associated with properties founded on shrinkable clay soils, and was reprinted many times. The second edition has been expanded to include sections on other types of subsidence and causes of damage that are unrelated to foundation movement. It also looks at the potential problems that can arise when buying or selling a property that has previously been affected by subsidence. Contents include: Frequently asked questions; Causes of cracking; Causes of subsidence and heave; How your house is built; Preventing Damage; Subsidence to a neighbouring property; Recognizing subsidence damage; Making a claim; The investigation; Monitoring The solution; Does my house need to be underpinned?; Different types of underpinning; Having the work done; What if things go wrong; and Buying and selling.

good book for someone not professional.......2006-11-04
its a good book for someone how is not a pro.
For proffesionals its medium.
Bad think is that as many simiral books is talking only for house design in UK wich is much simpler than in other countries with higher seismicity (Greece etc).
Very Good Information.......2006-08-22
This is a very good book for home owners whose house foundations have cracked, or who are worried about the possibility of cracking. The information is laid out logically and in a conversational style that is easy to read and not overly boring. The one drawback for American readers is that the book is written by British authors and is therefore very UK-specific at times (e.g., when discussing common foundation types, applicable laws, information on insurance claims, etc.). Still, for demystifying the causes of foundation problems, I have not seen a better resource.

bad condition.......2007-01-09
I bought a book from Textcellar and it said on the listing that the book was in a great condition. I paid $50 for the book and it looked like a $5 book. Very bad condition. Looks very badly handled and pages torn off on the corners. If you say it looks like new, it should look like new. I don't think I am gonna buy from you next time.
An excellent Intro to Marketing Text.......2002-12-25
This text gives a great overview of the many aspects of marketing. The text explains all aspects in great theoretical detail with an abundance of real world examples to clearify each point. The text is up to date and the real people, real decisions stories are quite interesting and fitting to the subject of their respective chapters.
The book was easy to read and all important points are highlighted and defined in the page margins.
The study guide which comes with the text helps students remember the key points of each chapters by providing a brief summary of the chapter followed by a number questions of all different types.
This is the second administration text book that I have bought from Pearson Education and I would recommend this book for anyone who is taking or planning on taking an introduction to marketing course at the University or College level or even for those who just wish to know more about the topic of marketing.
