Must read for any investor.......2003-09-13

The book offers detailed eplanations of why your mutual fund may not be as hot as it seems and what you really do get in return for those fees (maybe not even breaking even). It's a quick read and tremendously informative as well as no nonsense. I think it takes the "Random Walk Down Wall Street" one step further by going through sensible strategies which will save investors grief and time while improving returns and lowering risk. One of my favorite investing books.

Excellent overview of indexing.......2002-12-19

Book Description

Triumph Motorcycles: Their Renaissance and the Hinckley Factory tells the remarkable story of the re-birth of one of the great names of British motorcycle history. Far from looking to the past, the new company has adopted the most modern production methods in modern premises and is producing motorbikes equal to any in the world. John Tipler was given unparalelled access to the factory enabling him to show the production methods and discuss the future with both management and workforce. First published in 1997, this sought-after title has now been fully updated with details of new models, and brings the story up-to-date after a disastrous fire gutted much of the operation. As you will read, the company has been undaunted and goes from strength to strength.

A Little Deceptive.......2007-03-09

If you are looking for a totally revised and updated edition of this book that was originally published in 1997, I am afraid that you will be disappointed with the 2006 edition. This is basically the same book as the 1997 edition with one fairly weak chapter added in an attempt to bring the book up-to-date, or probably more accurately, to sell more books. A great example is seen on pages 6 and 7 in a table entitled "A Modern History of the New Triumphs." The first date shown is 1984 and the most current date is October 1996. Nothing for the period 1997-2006. Hardly an update. Chapter 9 entitled "Transformation Complete" does make a half-hearted attempt to discuss the new T2 assembly plant, but, if you are a Bonneville fan, you will be sorely disappointed. There is only one poorly-written paragraph on Triumph's top-selling Bonneville T-100. And as for pictures -- Not here. You will only find two very small b&w pictures of the T-100, one 3/4 page b&w picture of a Thruxton Bonneville and one small b&w picture of a Scrambler.

If you are interested in Bonnevilles and, particularly, the new Hinkley Bonnevilles, check out Steve Wilson's book entitled Bonneville - Triumph T120/T140. The final chapter entitled "New Millennium Bonneville", while only three pages long, is very good and has one full-color, full-page picture and two smaller full-color pictures of the T-100. All-in-all a very nice book.

The bottom line? "Triumph Motorcycles - Their Renaissance and the Hinkley Factory" is no more than a warmed up 10 year old book. Buy it if that is what you are looking for, but personally, I was very disappointed.

Landmark Case Gets First-Class Treatment.......2006-04-03

In 1983, a rapist and killer struck in Leicestershire, England, leaving a dead girl in a wooded pathway near an insane asylum. A year later, in another part of the same county, Dr. Alec Jeffreys uncovered something called a genetic fingerprint, of which no two are alike unless they belong to identical twins.

With that, the biological leftovers of the killer's attack became evidence that could theoretically put him away, if he can first be persuaded to take a voluntary test.

Joseph Wambaugh's 1989 true-crime story "The Blooding" is perhaps the author's most accomplished book, as he delves headlong into a strange netherworld where science and crime intersect, both in terms of genetic fingerprinting of which this case provided the first working model, and of the psychopathic mind of the killer, whom Wambaugh studies at length in the book's second half.

"The Blooding" captures a small British community in a state of terror, and details a frustrating, often misguided investigation that gets its man only after much confusion. "As with many police investigations the secret ways of people often produced peripheral mysteries as baffling as the one in question," Wambaugh writes, and to his credit he follows at least a couple of them at such length you think you are about to discover the killer at last before hitting a dead end.

Say this for Wambaugh: No one else makes police investigation seem so thrilling and comprehensible, and at the same time so worthy of respect. Here he is working far away from his California home base, but the differences in culture and police technique only seem to serve to sharpen his focus. He even manages to delineate a few of the key investigators, though here, unlike his more famous "The Onion Field", Wambaugh's interest remains firmly on the case at hand, however absorbingly he may portray certain indescribable emotions, like that of a father called upon to identify the body of his daughter, "the cruelest, most ravaging sight this world has to offer," he writes.

As Wambaugh notes at another point, "murder annihilates privacy," and in this case this means not only the agony of a murder victim's parents but the ethical question of mass-collecting DNA samples for possible use against a suspect. For it is clear without this innovation of Dr. Jeffreys' and its employment by the Leicestershire constabulary, a killer would have gone free, perhaps while an innocent man was put away.

Humane, electric, alive both to individual moments large and small as well as to the overall significance of the case, "The Blooding" is so good you may close it as I did feeling guilty you enjoyed a book so given the circumstances that produced it.

A must-read for fans of 'Forensic Files'.......2005-10-28

I'm a big fan of the forensic programs on Court TV, and I always check the date of the featured crime (almost always murder and/or rape) to see if it occurred before or after DNA testing became common in the United States. If it occurred after 1992, the perp is usually doomed. Even decades-old cases can be solved if blood/semen/saliva samples were properly stored from the crime scene. According to a prophecy in the weekly "New Scientist," there will soon be kits available that will allow police to process DNA samples in less than two hours.

In "The Blooding," former policeman, Joseph Wambaugh writes about the first serial killer who was caught and convicted through the use of DNA testing: two teenage girls in the English village of Narborough were brutally raped and murdered in 1983 and 1986, and it took four years, a scientific breakthrough, and the blood of 5,000 men to capture the killer, Colin Pitchfork. DNA testing also freed the suspect that police had already jailed for the crime.

On September 10, 1984, at nearby Leicester University, Dr. Alec Jeffreys (now Sir Alec) discovered that each human being (except for identical twins) has a unique genetic profile. At first, his DNA profiling technique was used to sort out immigration cases. Then the Leicestershire constabulary became familiar with DNA 'fingerprinting' and collected blood from over 5,000 men in the ultimately successful search for their murderer.

(By 2004, the UK had a national database of 2.5 million genetic profiles from convicted criminals. Statistics show that 38% of all crimes are detected where DNA has been loaded onto the UK national database, compared with a 24% detection rate overall. And 48% of burglaries are detected where DNA has been loaded onto the database, compared with a 14% detection rate for burglaries overall.

Nowadays, even British bus drivers are issued DNA testing kits to help catch passengers who spit at them.)

Wambaugh does not spend much time exploring the scientific aspects of the Narborough Village murders. He tells the interwoven stories of the victims, their families, the murderer, and most especially the policemen who were involved in the hunt.
From the shadowy paths that wound past the grounds of the local psychiatric hospital to the ancient, smoke-filled pubs where the villagers spent their free hours, this author will have you living and breathing the horror of these crimes. There are a few of the patented Wambaugh belly laughs as the Leicestershire police invent their own techniques for 'blooding' the local men. One of my favorite scenes takes place after Colin Pitchfork is apprehended, and he insists on telling his bored interrogators his whole life story before he will confess to his crimes.

Everyone comes to life in a Wambaugh story, but most especially the policemen.

I have never been able to pick up one of this author's books without reading it through to the end, and "The Blooding" is no exception.

Chilling.......2005-10-02

This isn't a novel as such, but rather a factual account of the hunt to find the murderer of two teenaged girls in 1983, in the small English village of Narborough, in Leicestershire. It's also the story of the first time that DNA was used in solving a crime. The girls were killed four years apart, both being young and both virgins. The killer raped and sodomised the girls before strangling them, merely pulling their bodies off the beaten village pathway. It's not a pretty story but the true account of the extraordinary effort by the police to find the killer, eventually using the new method of DNA testing from blood and semen samples given by thousands of local men and boys, and called by the police "blooding". The staggering thing is that the killer was, and is, a sociopath who has absolutely no conscience or feeling that what he did was in any way wrong, and that while he wasn't labeled as criminally insane, even with these horrific crimes, he is simply a vile man whose mind is wired in this way. He received a double life sentence but without any specific time put on his detention. I hope that he is still in jail.

Solid Detective Story - and True .......2005-08-09

This gripping narrative details the first use of DNA fingerprinting in a murder case. In 1984 British authorities found the raped and strangled body of teenager Lynda Mann in the woods near Narborough, England. With a possible suspect in custody, a local scientist named Alec Jeffreys persuaded detectives to let him use the suspect's blood in a new DNA procedure that could certify the young man's guilt. Authorities quickly agreed, but to everybody's surprise the results showed the suspect to be innocent. When young Dawn Ashworth was found similarly brutalized three years later, DNA testing showed that the same fiend had committed both crimes. Scotland Yard then ordered every male in the district to submit a blood sample in a massive (and ultimately successful) search for the killer.

Author Joseph Waumbaugh applies his straightforward, readable style in THE BLOODING. He teaches us about the two crimes, the British legal system, the false leads that are part of detective work, and initial skepticism toward DNA fingerprinting. Wambaugh also shows how this now-common technique helped authorities clear an innocent suspect and eventually catch a brutal killer.

True Story Of The First Murders In The World Solved By DNA.......2004-12-02

This excellent book details the true story in England of the first murder case solved by DNA. There was no DNA database at the time. Yet the detectives step by step used DNA to exclude suspects until the murderer was "left standing." There was a DNA dragnet with much suspense which the murderer managed to avoid until the very end. This is the true story of the first DNA conviction.

Also, this reader suggests you read the new book "Bloodsworth."
This is the true story of the first DNA exoneration in the USA. These two cases are linked in a very important way.

Book Description

This analysis of African-Caribbean community organizations is based on original research into about 100 sub-groups in the British cities of Leeds and London. The research found that African-Caribbean activists feel excluded from existing voluntary and statutory organizations and perceive racial and social exclusion from key areas of society such as education, health care and employment. Community activity can not only precipitate change, it can also foster a positive sense of collective and individual identity.

Book Description

Illustrated with commissioned photographs and historical images, the book profiles the bikes--not just the models but the actual motorcycles--that have achieved legendary status in the last century: Elviss, Evel Knievels, Steve McQueens, Marlon Brandos, and the Easy Rider chopper, among others. Their stories, told here in detail for the first time, make up the story of the motorcycle in American culture.

Well, what can we say about this one? It's not often that we are in need for words, but this time the cooperation between Keith Alverson, Ed Bonja and Elvis Unlimited made us looking for the right expressions. It is amazing how much this production has improved compared to the first book by Elvis Unlimited, "Elvis Shot by Bonja". Besides the much better quality in print and the hardcover it is also edited very well. Where you stumbled over the misprints in the first one, this one is almost free of them.

As said, the printing itself is much better, although there are some pictures of lesser quality, probably due to the source. Still the quality never gets annoying and often it is even amazing, especially the Huntsville pictures are outstanding. Also the choice for printing a lot of the pictures horizontally was a very good one, indeed those pictures deserve it!

The book covers a lot of Elvis' concerts from July 3, 1973 to June 26, 1977. As always it is painful to see the decline but merely it contains great photos with an amazingly good looking Elvis on most of them. As said before the Huntsville photos from 1975 are amazing, and surely they deserve the major place they have in the book. A lot of the pictures are known, but having Keith's work collected like this and in this quality is great. Obviously Keith Alverson likes the jumpsuits more than the two piece suits, but we were delighted to have a fair amount of pictures of those latter.

As Keith already told us in our interview with him the book doesn't contain much text. An introduction of one and a half page, and some remarks on particular concerts is all you'll find, besides the dating of the pictures. Talking about those dates, our very own "date freak", the editor for our Picture of the Week, found a discrepancy in a comparison with Skar's "The Concert Years". Where on a picture dated May 3, 1975 Elvis wears a blue outfit with blue/gold ornaments, Skar tells us he wore a blue suit with red ornaments (2.30 pm), or a white suit with blue ornaments (8.30 pm). Gladly Keith was able to clarify this for us. He is sure that his picture is dated well, and only regrets they forgot to print the time of the show (8.30) with the picture. Keith also stated that during the afternoon show Elvis wore the navy blue with red ornaments, he took a picture of Elvis arriving in the parking lot that day.

We can not come up with much more than a deeply meant "Go and buy it! You won't be sorry".
