Wonderful book...from ex-Hoosier
I grew up in Indianapolis and really enjoyed reading about all of the things that have gone away since I was a little kid. I used to love Burger Chef, and the downtown Ayres store. I remember the Riverside Amusement Park sitting closed there for years when we would pass it going out to the Speedway. The author also has a webpage called "Lost Indiana" which talks about some of the Lost Indy ...

A Common Life
Great book. I have all the Mitford books and they were very good. Most of them I ordered from Amazon and was pleased how fast I received them and the good condition they were in. I would not hesitate to order books again

My most unusual review
I picked up the hard copy edition which was more than two inches thick containing 798 pages and wondered if I really wanted to read such a large book. Since I had read seven of Clancy's books and "Search for Red October" was one of my favorite movies, I decided to give it a try. Soon after starting the book, I knew it was going to be a thriller that I would like but realized that there was ...

The Picture of Evil
I must agree with with other two reviews of this book about the rather poor text. While it does occasionally bring up an interesting point, a number of its arguments are discredited by a large number of contrasting studies. That said, what is important are the photographs. Here is the face of Nazi Germany. One of the most frightening pictures was of the young men, students and SA, burning ...

The Truth
If the process of manifestation suggested in this book were to be sincerely followed, you can manifest your own reality. As someone who has read innumerable 'secret of success ' books , I hold very high regard for this book because I have had practical demonstrations of its truths. The one point that the master does not dwell upon is while visualizing the desired situation , one has to ...

Excellent Strategy Primer
This book is really a study of games - specifically strategical games such as poker. Strategical games are those where information is imperfect. The author uses poker as a model for describing strategy in business, war, and politics - Three of life's other strategical games. He correctly deduces that the optimal strategy in poker is not to have one - that is, to vary unpredictably. Poker playing ...
Seismic Physical Modeling (Geophysics Reprint, No 15)

Society Of Exploration Geophysicists
, 1994
For more than half a century, interpreters, researchers, and teachers have used physical model data to better understand and communicate the behavior of seismic waves. Seismic interpreters faced with ambiguities in data analysis have long struggled with the dilemma of either puzzling through the real seismic data or looking at computer-generated synthetic data. Physical model data lie at an intermediate position between these two extremes. The ...
