For those in need, I highly recommend this book!
I myself am currently in the FOG that she describes in this and it has hit home very well and helping me redeem myself. She's VERY good at explaining and assisting. Sometimes I feel she's right there. Very informative about the different types of emotional blackmailers. I'm not done reading, but have gotten 3/4 of the way and I am so happy I bought this book. It caught my eye one day browsing ...

A Lonely Kind of War: Forward Air Controller, Vietnam

14 reviews
Marshall Harrison

Presidio Press, 1997

The Definitive Book on the FAC
I cannot count how many times I've read this book. A very well written account of the making of a forward air controller (FAC) and his tour of duty in Vietnam. This book is filled with non-stop aerial combat interspersed with wit and humor. I swear you can hear the engines, the explosions, the radio chatter and the myriad sounds of aerial combat. This is the definitive book on the FAC. ...

IRON COFFINS: A PERSONAL ACCOUNT OF THE GERMAN U-BOAT BATTLES OF WORLD WAR II

Herbert A. (Forward by Edward L. Beach) Werner

Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1970

Best WW2 from German Viewpoint.
And there are alot out there. This is superb, I could not put it down. I will read it again someday. Sledge's "With the Old Breed" is slightly better, but that is splitting hairs. If you have to buy 2 books on WW2, get these 2.

Naked in Da Nang: A Forward Air Controller in Vietnam

Mike Jackson

Zenith Press, 2004

A special book
What a special book this is. It traces Mr. Jackson's experiences as a young man growing up in Ohio and follows him into air force training, pilot training and, finally, into combat. It does an excellent job of showing civilians what it is like to train for and experience war. I think it gives a more personal and even funny view of Vietnam than other books I have read of that era. It is also a ...

Howard-Johnson Carolyn

Red Engine Press, 2007

The Frugal Editor- Outstanding Reference Book
This is a fantastic editing reference for writers. With so many style guides out there, it's sometimes hard to know which books are really worth owning. This book teaches you how to effectively edit your work (as much as is possible on your own), use the tools in your word processing program, and avoid deadly words and tell-tales of amateur writing. Oh, how I wish I'd read this book before I ...

Tom Yarborough

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2002

Outstanding
A rare combination a true warrior, who survived some of the most dangerous flying of the Vietnam War and a highly literate author. One wonders where our nation finds the quiet Paladins of the 20'Th century. At one level a warrior's story of near hand to hand combat from the air with a fully committed enemy. The evolution of the author's transition from a member of the Air Force to his very ...

Call Center Press, 1999

Wow! So This is How Call Centers Work!
I've generally been an IT Director and Project Manager, so I read this book to get a better idea of my customers' needs. I was pretty excited to discover that there's at least one good summary of what call centers do and how they do it. For my own sake--and perhaps yours--here's my summary of Brad and Julia's summary: 1. Incoming call center management is the art of having the right number of ...

Backwards & Forwards: A Technical Manual for Reading Plays

David Ball

Southern Illinois University Press, 1983

Excellent and easy to read.
I've been acting for ten years and got my first directing assignment. I know a lot about directing from having been directed, but this book was a great guide for script analysis with the big picture in mind, not just one character. The show was a success and the actors still like me.

Troublesome Grammar (GP-019)

Nan DeVincent-Hayes

Garlic Press, 2000

Darn Good Book
Troublesome Grammar is one of the most helpful books I have come across to point how errors are unknowingly made in speaking and writing. This author hit right on the problems we all have, such as when to use well or better, which verbs to use for past tense, how to use hyphens and so on. This is worth the few bucks it costs.

Dino Rossi

Forward Books, LLC, 2005

The sun shines through in Washington State
Considering the recent news from Washington, DC, with scandal, failed trust and broken promises, it is a relief to read of a true optimist from Washington State who focuses on making his home state a better place for his children. Following Dino Rossi's narrow loss in the 2004 governor's race, and after three highly questionable recounts, he took some time to write a book about his life and his ...

Moving Forward: Turning Good Intentions Into Great Results by Discovering Yourself, Your Place, and Your Path

Paul Edward

AuthorHouse, 2008

Valuable Tools
The few other "self-help" books I've read tend to make you feel good while you're reading them, but as soon as you put them down it's back to the same 'ol daily rut. This author has written a book that provides tools and strategies to allow you to hammer out an individually tailored "Life Plan." The book inspires clear, real-world action, rather than simply stringing along the reader with peppy ...

Chris Archer

Aladdin, 1998

One Awsome Series
This is the only Mindwarp book that I have read so far and I think it's awsome. I'm a huge fan of a series called Animorphs by K.A. Applegate, but I think I'm gunna like this series even better. From this book I can tell that the Alpha children find out alot about themselves, that this has nothing to do with aliens and they find out how they got the powers. A boy Ethan finds his father (who ...

Tom Yarborough

St Martins Mass Market Paper, 1991

Excellent recount of OV-10 Forward Air Controller in Vietnam
Excellent first hand story of flying the OV-10 as a Forward Air Controller in Vietnam. Especially exciting because of the nature of the mission: supporting the infil and exfil of long range patrols. This story has only recently been declassified and is now told in a vivid and thrilling first hand account by one of the most decorated Forward Air Controllers from the Vietnam war. If you like ...

Chronicle Books, 1997

Illuminating!
In a time and age when young, african-american men are not portrayed in the best light, J. Okwu provides an illuminating and insightful look into the lives of 40 of these men. Not only is his writing superb, but his artistic eye and layout design are quite impressive. I have passed along the book to a number of young, african-american men in my life. I hope Face Forward will inspire them as ...

Addison Wesley, 2005

Book is good; Price is not
I was recommended this text book by the study material I was using to prepare the acturial exam FM. Then I came to check this book here and I found out that the price here is way too much higher. With this price, you can buy both the text book and its solution mannual in Actex Mad River with free UPS shipping. Hope this will help.

Essentials of Weightlifting and Strength Training (Paperback)

12 reviews

Shaymaa Publishing Corporation, 2003

One of the best books to have as a reference even for a woman of any age (even 75 years old.)
The descriptions of the reviewers: Slavisa Nesic and Larry Wagner "Athlete, Analyst, Coach, Dad" in this list do an excellent review and detailed description of the book. I just wanted to add my voice, as a woman, that I found his book incredibly useful too. As is stated, the emphasis of El Howie's book is on weight-lifting and power-lifting (which focuses more on strength) as compared with ...
