Making the Corps: 10th Anniversary Edition with a New Afterword by the Author
Thomas E. Ricks

Making the Corps visits the front lines of boot camp in Parris Island, South Carolina. Here, old values are stripped away and new Marine Corps values are forged. Bestselling author Thomas E. Ricks follows these men from their hometowns, through boot camp and into their ...

The Thomas Kinkade Story: A 20-Year Chronology of the Artist

Thomas Kinkade, Rick Barnett

Bulfinch, 2004

visions and dreams
Have you ever heard anyone scoff at Kinkade's work, because it is "too commercial" ? There are many who disdain work that is embraced by "the common man", and work that is reproduced for a mass market. So be it, but I do not agree with this elitist viewpoint, and think that in many years to come, Kinkade's work will be far more valued than some of what is "fashionable" in art circles today. This ...

Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2003 to 2005

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

Best Documentation of Iraq War to date
No, I have not been to Iraq in any capacity, but this book has an intensely real feeling to it. Unlike "Cobra II" which rambles a bit and tends to focus in on the details of battle too much (that is still a good book to read), "Fiasco" can be devoured in one sitting by the reader, giving them a bird's eye view of the whole mess that feels very real, and will fill in a lot of the blanks for ...

Penguin Audio, 2006

Excellent CD; Well Read; Fascinating but grim story.
I commute 64 miles a day by car and this CD made my commute fly by. The narrator helped me keep all the general straight-- all of whom were saying in one way or another: "This isn't going to work" or "What is Plan B once Plan A fails?". I sat in my office driveway listening to "Fiasco"! I highly recomend it..........now I need to buy something else.....or wait for Tom Ricks to write a ...

This is an excellent book that tells the story of Marines from their conception to their birth into the Corps.

What If? Classic Vol. 1 (Marvel Heroes)

4 reviews
Roy Thomas, Jim Shooter, ...

Marvel Comics, 2005

Why Not?
I agree this should have been an Essentials offering. But it's a fun read never the less and it paved the way for stronger stories in later issues. As far as expectations maybe we are too jaded in this new century to appreciate what Roy Thomas and other's were doing. These stories shake the foundations of Marvel legend and take them to another place. I agree that they don't all work but the ones ...

Entheogens and the Future of Religion (Entheogen Project Series, Number 2)

5 reviews

The Council on Spiritual Practices, 2000

Entheogens? Yes!
This is a great book for anyone interested in this subject, whether initiate or not. It provides insight from a number of the initial 20th century pioneers, as well as gives us a window into the inner ritual as performed by the more rural indian "initiates". I would recommend this book to anyone interested in using entheogens, writing about entheogens, or anyone who has used them ...

Alamo Traces: New Evidence and New Conclusions

Thomas Ricks Lindley

Republic of Texas, 2003

A must read for Alamo buffs
Alamo Traces: New Evidence and New Conclusions is an excellent read that looks for the truth about the siege and fall of the Alamo, and on a bigger scale, the Texas Revolution. Author Thomas Ricks Lindley takes on many of the myths and legends that have become accepted as fact over the years. Did Sam Houston really want to blow up the Alamo? How many Mexican casualties were there? Did Colonel ...

Food and the Mid-Level Farm: Renewing an Agriculture of the Middle (Food, Health, and the Environment)

The MIT Press, 2008

Agriculture in the United States today increasingly operates in two separate spheres: large, corporate-connected commodity production and distribution systems and small-scale farms that market directly to consumers. As a result, midsize family-operated farms find it increasingly difficult to find and reach markets for their products. They are too big to use the direct marketing techniques of small farms but too small to take advantage of ...

Business Process Outsourcing: The Competitive Advantage

Wiley, 2004

A very good practical introduction to Business Process Outsourcing
Global competition doesn't just move jobs, it also moves business processes and creates new kinds of business cooperation. For more than a century companies with global reach had to grow into huge enterprises with massive internal infrastructure. With the rise of computer systems, smaller companies learned to share the large mainframes to lower the cost for each business. Specialized providers ...

Essentials of Business Process Outsourcing (Essentials Series)

1 review
Thomas N. Duening, Rick L. Click

Wiley, 2005

Short addressed with complicated vocabulary
I am using this book to teach a topics class in Information Technology. It is very well structured with direct attention to major issues relative to outsourcing from different perspectives: buyer and vendor. Authors, however, continuously use complicated terms in places where it could have been much easier to say the same thing. This could be a book for managers, senior officials or lawyers who ...

Macmillan Audio, 1988

Awesome as ever !
Just under 290 pages this is a classic that has just as much meaning in 2001 as it did the first time I read it 20 years ago. A book I cannot help buying, over and over when copies get lent out and the message keeps getting passed on. 15 Chapters. Beginnings; Learning; Intimate Realtionships; Sex; family; Work; Money; Play; Tuning the Body; Healing; Technology; The Earth; Social Action; Inner ...

A wonderful trip down Memory Lane
Having been born and raised in South Pasadena I was delighted to discover some of the older history as well as the history since leaving town. For me the most significant part of the book was seeing a picture of my grandfathers formal garden and the Garden House where many family gatherings took place. What a trip down memory lane. I wish there had been more text as the book is mostly pictures.
