I love this book and you will too. From the rare hardcore Doomsday Cultist to the abundant Economic Survivalist this book will be a treasure never to leave your shelf. This is a favorite book I Trust No One to borrow. An In-Depth section details nuclear threat. Easy to read it covers scientific measurements and allowable doses of radiation, effective defensive sheilding, economic shelters and decontamination, EMP, fallout charts and other surprising info. Gain a level of personal satisfaction from learning how to measure roentgens. Also covers how to plan small prepared survival groups of friends and relatives ready for Nuclear War or Violent Riots. Sister this book with the Morman inspired food storage booklet, "A Year's Supply", and you will be able to "have" when the unprepared "have not". Don't buy this book if you feel confident in Y2K fix's, your ATM machines, the local 24hr grocery store and police protection during and after disaster. Anyone remember the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew, with no police protection and 9 year olds holding the family shotgun on the steps of their homes while their exhausted parents caught a few winks of sleep when armed looters roamed the streets? Some Floridians do.

This book is an invaluable resource to anyone who wants to learn primitive outdoor skills. It takes the reader step by step through various processes and techniques, such as:stone tools, arrows, weaving, the digging stick, and the sweat lodge to just name a few things.

From the back cover:

The Book That Proves They're Right

"The public is entirely justified in thinking that a lot of American journalism is unfair and inaccurate."

Robert MacNeil

"Certain issues are deliberately passed over in silence in order that others may be unduly emphasized."

Pope John-Paul II, in Burbank, California

"There is no such thing as objectivity. Any reporter who tells you he's objective is lying to you."

Linda Ellerbee

Objectivity "was invented by journalism schools. It has very little to do with real life."

Geraldo Rivera

"The press, the radio and television stand indicted of the crime of failing in their great and growing responsibility to give the American people an honest picture of the news of the day."

Barry Goldwater

How the news media are deceiving the American people... that's the sub-title.

This book is nearly ten years old, but it is here because its message is still just as pertinent and true as it was when it was written.

The news media is, indeed, biased in their reporting, and Accuracy in Media (Irvine's organization)has been documenting their subterfuges, mis-characterizations, leftist propaganda, coverups, overstatements and whitewashes for years.

This book is replete with proof, documented cases of individuals within the media deliberately deceiving the American people. It names names, and cites the actual words and pictures. The smear jobs, the quietly covered scandals, the dirty tricks...they're all in here. Well, not ALL, because nobody knows about ALL of them, but the ones that could be uncovered and reported.

Why are so many journalists left-leaning? Perhaps that is the wrong approach to the question. Perhaps it should be "Why does a person enter journalism as a profession in the first place?" Because they truly want to simply report the news to their fellow man? Too many of them are driven by the need to be crusaders, to save the world, to save the trees, to save the whale, to save the ozone layer. Who knows what drives a zealot.

In any case, they are the ones who decide what news deserves to go on the front page, and which politician to excoriate (and, of course, which one to protect from discovery.)

This is a good book. If you haven't read it, you should try to get it.

Everyons should read M. Mead's research. Her research explains many issues that remain current topics of contention.

One of the best books on the subject. Simply perfect. You will find everything you need inside it. A good idea is to use it together with another book (J. Sakurai, R. Shankar, W. Greiner, or S. Gasiorowicz).

This book can be considered as the best available resource for study of Radhasoami Faith. It is the most authentic account of history of Radhasoami Faith.

I got recommended this book by a very experienced (long/old-time modeler). It is superb in explaining servo setup and configurations which is exactly what I brought it for. If this is what you need this is a great book It doesn't use newer techniques, rather it uses the tried and proven ones.

Very worthwhile to have on your bookshelf

This treatise is the authoritative basis of a whole industry. Almost everyone in commercial IT now exploits RAID technology in their daily lives, indirectly if not directly, and yet precious few people actually understand what's going on under the hood. This is it!

This book is perhaps a little too mathematical for many readers over-all, but the text alone is very well written and accessible, even if the maths is taken on trust.

If taken with The RAID Book (6th ed, RAID Advisory Board, Paul Massiglia, Peer-to-Peer Press, 1997) all the implications of RAID become far clearer.

RAID isn't a panacea for storage issues, and when people read this book they'll surely be better off for having done so.

Highly recommended.

Probably the best and most faithful account of the comings and goings in Northern Mexico during the revolutionary years.
Has been said about this book that it could not be published until most of those described were dead and buried.
Difficult to read for the language is artfully employed, but definitely worth it.

W.K. Matthews' RUSSIAN HISTORICAL GRAMMAR, like most volumes of the London East European Series, is a delightfully clear and superbly typeset handbook of diachronic linguistics. The Russian language has had a long and continuously attested evolution, and Matthews has painstakingly combed through the myriad historical sources to present a picture of how it came to its modern form.

The work is split into two parts. The first is a "linguistic prehistory". This takes the reader from Proto-Indo-European through Common Slavonic, with a historical account of major events such as the mission of Sts Cyril and Methodius and a list of sources, up to a description of the grammar and lexicon of Old Russian (= Proto-East-Slavonic). While Matthews tries to write for a general audience, some basic knowledge of comparative Indo-European linguistics and of Old Church Slavonic is recommended. For OCS, a superb guide is Nandris & Auty's two-volume HANDBOOK OF OLD CHURCH SLAVONIC.

The second part of the book is the historical study of the Russian language as most think of it, from the earliest specimens such as the Ostromir Gospels up to the first Soviet writers. As a student of Old Church Slavonic, it was fascinating to discover here how Old Russian abandoned the Common Slavonic verbal system, collapsing its many tenses into present and past, and developing a formal aspectual division. Of course, there is ample discussion of nominal morphology, phonological changes, and syntactic changes as well. The chapter devoted to lexical changes is substantial, listing terms from many subjects as they arise through loans or internal derivation until they are replaced by new terms.

Three appendixes follow the central material. The first is a collection of specimens of Russian prose from each period, the second is a history of the study of Russian historical grammar, and the third is a bibliography. The book closes with a Russian word index and a general index.

If you are interested in the historical study of the Slavonic languages, I heartily recommend finding a used copy of this RUSSIAN HISTORICAL GRAMMAR, and luckily it was reprinted several time and copies abound. Still, some knowledge of Russian, OCS, and the general theme of IE linguistics is necessary, too, so be sure to seek out resources for those.
