Great book!
I couldn't put the book down. I found myself reaching for this book and reading at the stop lights while commuting to work because I COULD NOT WAIT to see what was going to happen next. The author, Colonel David Hackworth, takes you on a wild ride with this book; and I loved it!! I would read another book by this author, and would read this book again.

Good if you got a lot to spend - i mean a LOT
Hello all good travelers to Istanbul. What a great city. When i went there last Christmas i had two guides in my hand - this one and the Time Out Istanbul one. If you wanna spend a LOT of money, pick this one - its gonna be enough for you and don' t buy anything else. But if you wont spend 400 Euros a night staying at a luxury hotel next to Bosporus, get another guide. The book describes most ...

This is One of the Best Math Textbooks I Have Ever Had!
I really enjoyed this textbook. The authors of this book really did a good job making you enjoy math. I used to hate math, but this book was an exception. They greatly explain theorems and other things so you won't get confused. One way I liked this book was its many math related photos. Also if you are confused on a lesson they have answers in the back in the book to help you to check ...

Where have all the soldiers gone?
There are two types of soldier, peacetime and wartime. Hackworth is from that wartime brand. A pain in the ass in peace but vital in conflict. He clearly identifies the issues and yet is lambasted as a poor staff leader, funnily enough so was Patton, and what a fighting general he was! No one believed him about the Russians at the end of WW2. As an ex-soldier from a recon background i'd really ...

"Chicago Math" Algebra text is Excellent!
Our 14 yr. old (homeschooled) daughter just completed this University of Chicago's Algebra textbook. She found the text complete, thorough, and very easy to follow! She found it to be an almost completely 'self taught' course! She also enjoyed the colorful pictures, extra projects sections, and the interesting sidenotes which included world trivia topics. We have been successfully using ...

Forced to read, glad I was!
I had this book assigned to be read in a history class of mine during college. At first I was wary of reading it, as I was not much into reading at the time. Once I started, however, I could not put it down! This book is deffinitly ranked in my top 10 favorites of all time. I was unaware of many aspects of the Vietnam War, but this book sets you down right in the middle of it. A truly ...

Jason Hackworth

The shift in the ideological winds toward a "free-market" economy has brought profound effects in urban areas. The Neoliberal City presents an overview of the effect of these changes on today's cities. The term "neoliberalism" was originally used in reference to a set of practices that first-world institutions like the IMF and World Bank impose on third-world countries and cities. The support of unimpeded trade and individual freedoms and the ...

AuthorZone.Com Book Review
Excellent book. Well written, easily read, thought provoking. Is long, but not cumbersome. I first read 'About Face' written by Col. David Hackworth during the late 1980s. I found it extremely valuable in helping me...a woman with little knowledge of anything military, understand better my children's dad, a land based Viet Nam combat vet and the problems he had to deal with before his death. As ...

Lauren Hackworth Petersen
Cambridge University Press

From monumental tombs and domestic decoration, to acts of benefaction and portraits of ancestors, Roman freed slaves, or freedmen, were prodigious patrons of art and architecture. Traditionally, however, the history of Roman art has been told primarily through the monumental remains of the emperors and ancient writers who worked in their circles. In this study, Lauren Petersen critically investigates the notion of 'freedman art' in scholarship, ...

EXCELLENT WAY TO LEARN ALGEBRA !!!
I never did well in Algebra in H S; never understood it. Took an "F" my first attempt at "Intermediate Algebra" -- And then my husband suggested a set of self-paced books that he had used in college, "Algebra--Programmed". There are three books in the set. It's a very unique way to learn algebra, but very easy to make sense of the eventual complex problems. I'd recommend them to anyone who ...
