the finest book on Vietnam
Having read this book several times since it was first published, I still believe it is the finest written on the war.

Oh My!
I first saw this book at the hair salon. The red-headed cover model was daring me to pick it and and give it a browse. Oh My! I'm so glad I did! "Bad Hair" is full of some of the most hysterical and, uh, creative hairstyles. This is from the time of the perm and feathering, after all. In addition to wondering of the hair, the fashions represented are a hoot. This little book is just so much fun!

Just FIVE simple steps.....
......that's all it takes to learn how to come up with new & creative ideas, time after time. As Young says, the idea & the technique itself are so plain & logically simple that you may even miss it; despite the fact that the book is only some 48 pages long. It's easy to read & in your haste to learn "the secret" you may finish the book too quickly. Some thoughtful reading is required, so please ...

Great True Stories of Crime in Los Angeles and the LAPD
On radio, in the 1950s television version of Dragnet, and in its 1960s resurrection, Jack Webb was Sergeant Joe Friday, the straight-shooting, no-nonsense exemplar of the LAPD. In this non-fiction book, Webb tells the real stories of crimes that were too violent to be broadcast on "Dragnet." Among them are the famous murder of the "Black Dahlia," a woman who was tortured for days before her ...

The First Book I Recommend!!
This book is absolutely groundbreaking. I am a child clincial psychologist in private practice and am frequently faced with children who are bright but are not doing well in school. For fifteen plus years in the field, I paid no attention to whether a child of concern was gifted. Now, with this book my eyes have been opened. Many of the children who have been referred to me are gifted and need ...

A rivetting historical novel of MacArthur in postwar Japan.
This is a ripping good historical novel about General MacArthur's leadership of the American occupation of Japan--the first time in over a thousand years that the "nation family" of Japan suffered defeat and conquest. The author tells the story from the perspective of one Jay Marsh, a young Japanese-speaking American captain and aide-de-camp to General MacArthur. Seen from Marsh's perspective, ...

Managing NASA in the Apollo Era
LeClue22, 2008
Few things can better serve managers in leadership roles in large, complex, technology-based organizations than knowing how other organizations have coped with the problems that must be solved to achieve success. This book is an exciting case study of the history of the Apollo program and how NASA?s leaders and thinkers met the challenges of the Race for Space.

Quelled on the wing like eagles struck in air. . .
It's been 15 years since I read this book the first time as a Midshipman. While quite a bit has changed in my life since then, I am amazed at how quickly A Sense of Honor took me back to my youthful days at USNA. As I read Webb's story this time, I was amazed at how differently it affected me and how greatful I am for my own experiences and relationships I took from the Academy. They call ...

Good clinician's tool
I am using this book for a graduate class, and I can only say that it has been invaluable. This book is a must-have for any aspiring clinician that plans to use the MMPI-2 for assessment. It has everything you need and more, and breaks down the scales in a comprehensible manner.

A great book.
Webb is one of the best military authors out there. This book combines both the soldiers' view of life, as in Fields of Fire, with the seamy side of military life; our senior military and political leadership. If you enjoy any of the Clancy-type military/political thrillers you will enjoy this book and realize Webb actually inserts some thought and insightful commentary while giving a good ...

VERY comprehensive!
This is by far the most comprehensive book about gifted children that I have seen. It covers a broad range of topics, yet still manages to be quite detailed and "meaty". An entire 19 page chapter is devoted to the characteristics of gifted children. In addition to the usual checklist, the chapter also looks at Dabrowski's overexcitabilities, the gifted child's sense of humor, imagination, etc. ...
