Nice piece of scholarly work.
On the whole, the work was put together nicely. Although the two editors acknowledge for purposes of full disclosure their preferences towards a certain degree of gun control, they take care to differentiate between their scholarly work and their personal opinions. They present a number of well-balanced essays covering gun control and gun politics. For those seeking pro-gun or anti-gun ...

Still The Best Around
Although it's several years out of print, I haven't found a better introduction to J2EE textbook and thus, am still using it in my classes. Think it's not worth it? ... better buy one fast because the price of the used ones is going up instead of down. Another remarkable feature of the book is that the original code still runs fine on Tomcat 5. Multi-author? yes, but since one of them is ...

Indispensible
If you have any interest in left or right extremist movements in the U.S., this book is indispensible, and it is without peer. The authors neither glamorize nor excoriate their subject matter. Rather, they present each group or movement, from the Spartacist League to Father Coughlin, as nonjudgmentally and factually as possible. You will discover obscure Marxist sects and strange racist ...

Another Hit for Wilcox
There is nothing more satisfying than an adventure series that keeps delivering winners. Knowing that you can purchase a book and be entertained year after year makes reading a joy. Wilcox delivers again with The Guns of El Kabir. In his fifth annual installment of the /simon Fonthill series, Wilcox has Simon and 352in Egypt fighting a war not dissimilar than the current war in Iraq. All of ...

A good old-fashioned ripsnorter of a tale.
It seems to me that today's historical fiction is geared more to the feminine reader or to those who enjoy reading historical mysteries. I'm not knocking either of those kinds of stories, but I much prefer the kinds of books full of action, with engaging characters who must inevitably struggle as two different cultures collide. It seems more real, more true to what things were like in that time. ...

I cudda been a contender
This book had some good characters except for the wild west character, whom I found to be a little far fetched. The Hero was far too soft and kind to his enemies to have been a captain in Her Majesties forces and his batman partner a little confused about directions to be a scout. The historical battle settings and descriptions were very good.

Definitive Work
When future American historians and political scientists look back at political extremism in the last half of the twentieth century, this is the book to which they will turn. It is thoroughly detailed and meticulously researched; in short the definitive work on this subject. The following groups, along with their leaders, are covered. THE FAR LEFT Communist Party USA ...
The Diamond Frontier (Simon Fonthill Series)
John Wilcox
Headline Book Publishing
, 2007
The atmosphere is volatile in the South African province of the Transvaal at the start of 1880. The discovery of diamonds has bred greed as a strong anti-British feeling is taking hold amongst the Boer farmers and the bePedi tribe continues to rampage after the defeat of their Zulu allies. Former captain Simon Fonthill and his servant, "352" Jenkins, receive a cry for help from an old friend who has been kidnapped on South Africa's new diamond ...
The Horns of the Buffalo (Simon Fonthill Series)

Another Bernard Cornwell? I think so, but
he's not copying either Cornwell's style or characters. Wilcox is definitely his own man and his hero is no Sharpe. Simon Fonthill, while capable of handling himself in combat every bit as efficiently as Sharpe, doesn't like the army and seems to be trying his best to stay out of it. Despite all his efforts however, he cannot eliminate the armed forces from his life and becomes involved mainly ...

Big Ideas is a Big Help
If you've ever had to plan a party, dance, or youth conference, this is the book for you. It gives lots of helpful hints from people who have lots of experience and share what has worked best for them. Plus, since most of us are not millionaires and can't afford what they advise in magazines and other books of this type, this book offers some inexpensive options. I especially liked the section ...

BEST-EVER WARRIORS
In MASTERS OF BATTLE, Mr. Wilcox selects six warrior classes as the "best ever". Sort of like naming the top ten baseball players of all time. His picks are: the Vikings, the longbowmen of England, the riflemen of the American Revolution, the Zulus, U-boat captains in WWI and Panzer commanders in WWII. He leaves out Roman legions, the Mongols and German biplane aces of WWI. I am not sure I would ...

This book is peerless in its authenticity.
Every child must learn to confront the cultural differences that surround them at some point and Mr. Wilcox's book provides a wonderful gateway to this confrontation. Its primary thrust of essential similarities in individual's lives despite the culturally different expressions of those lives is an increasingly vital lesson as the distances between cultures world-wide shrinks. The art that ...

A must-read!
This book is a must-read for anyone with an interest in elections and democratic governance. There has been much talk about the role of money in elections and the impact of campaign contributions on how politicians govern. But rarely do we hear about the people behind the money. Who are they? Why do they give? To whom do they give? How much access do they have to members of Congress? These ...

Great book
This book is one the most comprehensive ones that I've bought. It provides you with most of the possible technologies that you could use in a basic J2EE application. I love the section on the J2EE architecture. For newbies I typcially request that they read that section first. It does justice to basic topics like JDBC & Servlets & tag libraries, and the concepts about them. As well as ...
