Good and interesting stories from the crab fishermen.
This is filled with great stories from the crab fishermen and boat captains of Deadliest Catch. There is a little bit of everything here, told by the guys themselves, and in their own styles: some stories are sad, some are funny, some of them keep you right on the edge of your seat, and all of them are interesting. Whether you are familiar with Deadliest Catch or not, this is a great book about ...

Gregory Michno

Caxton Press, 2007

For the Serious Indian Wars Student: Unlike The Plains Wars, The Snake Conflict Contains a Long Series of Small Battles
Michno puts a tremendous effort into his book on the Snake campaign that is totally unlike the Great Plains campaigns that generally consisted of relatively large armies in the field by post Civil War standards. In the Snake Conflict, small diverse tribes, (Shoshones, Paiutes etc.) resist the burdensome intrusion of whites into their land that contains few resources due to the climate and ...

The Deadliest Strain

Mira, 2008

Excellent Thriller
I judge a book partly by how quick I read through it. This one I read in 12 hours. Nikoo and Jim McGoldrick have put together a real page-turner that I could not put down. It isn't non-stop action, but it's non-stop suspense as you try to work through what is happening as you read the pages. I appreciated the factual insight into Kurdish culture and liked the way it was woven into the ...

America's Deadliest Battle: Meuse-Argonne, 1918 (Modern War Studies)

1 review
Robert H. Ferrell

University Press of Kansas, 2007

Excellent, but brief, history
As Ferrell says in his introduction, most Americans today don't know much about our country's involvement in the First World War, despite its influence on the following century and the world we live in today. This volume gives a wonderfully succinct overview of America's entry into the war in 1917, including justified criticism of President Wilson and Sec. of War Baker's inability to put the ...

John M. Barry, 2004

A tremendous account of one of the worst health crises in modern history
In "The Great Influenza," John Barry provides a fascinating, thorough, informative and accessible window into the great flu pandemic of 1918 that ravaged the United States and much of the western world. Barry deftly sets the background leading up to the outbreak. This includes the major figures and state of medicine during that pioneering era nearly 100 years ago. Barry notes how, while a ...

Abraham H. Foxman

Palgrave Macmillan, 2007

Yes, what is going on here?
Another reviewer asked me the question, "What is going on here?" It's a good question. This book is pretty well written and is politically moderate. Folks such as Dennis Ross and Elie Wiesel recommend it. Why does it have, so far, three times as many one-star reviews as 5-star reviews? Just what point are the one-star reviewers making? Well, in terms of facts and logic, they are not ...

The Deadliest Monster: A Christian Introduction to Worldviews

9 reviews
J. F. Baldwin

Fishermen Press, 2001

The best introduction to worldview thinking
More people should know about this book! "The Deadliest Monster" puts forward a bold premise: that there is a fundamental difference between Christian thinking and every other approach to the world that's out there. To make his case, Baldwin employs one of the most inventive metaphors in worldview literature, appropriating Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as the non-Christian 'monster' and Stevenson's ...

Vaccinated: One Man's Quest to Defeat the World's Deadliest Diseases

Paul A. Offit

Collins, 2007

Engaging down-to-earth history of vaccination through a remarkble man's life story by a top expert in the field
The book is written by a top expert in the field who also developed one of the latest vaccine. And Dr.Offit's writing style is very engaging and yet succint and straight. I am from an engineering background, and I valued the content-to-word ratio(how dense is the content). And Dr.Offit's book beats my yardstick to the ground. It is content heavy yet very engaging. Also Dr.Hilleman's life story ...

The Devil's Flu: The World's Deadliest Influenza Epidemic and the Scientific Hunt for the Virus That Caused It

Pete Davies

Holt Paperbacks, 2000

Davies book is the best of the lot
I used to be a virologist. Let me tell you, I was ASTONISHED at how much I hadn't been told about flu. Pete Davies is obviously no virologist, but he just wades on in there and hacks out the story and tells it to you. It doesn't have to be great; he's got lots to tell you. And he's a good writer. The portrayal of Kirsty Duncan as a pompous ass is priceless. By the way, I had NO idea that ...

What makes it so good? Larson's book makes a great story, is historical, and scientific. First and foremost it's a great story, well written. The author describes the storm as 'an awakening of molecules' in the ...

Deadliest of the Species

Michael Oliveri

Vox 13 Publishing, 2001

Not Just Horror: Much in here for Mainstream audiences
Michael Oliveri's debut novel is more than just great entertainment, and it's more than just the winner of the prestigious Bram Stoker Award from the Horror Writers Association (First Novel category for 2001). In part, it's a study of socio-economic and gender subjugation--of what happens when an entire class of people is forced into the servitude of another, denied its basic civil liberties, and ...

Hurricane Watch: Forecasting the Deadliest Storms on Earth

12 reviews
Jack Williams, Bob Sheets

Vintage, 2001

Prophetic
This book is like a Colombo murder mystery. You know "who did it," it's just will he or she be caught in time. The answer to the question, in this case, is "no." Dr Sheet's book is a very thorough commentary on the history and study of hurricanes. He provides the reader with an interesting background narrative of hurricanes and their destructiveness that dates from the early experiences ...
