The army isn't the only organization that has needed to rethink its supply chain practices. If you run a manufacturing or procurement organization that needs a boost, this book can be an excellent primer on how to frame your thoughts.

This book provides you a comprehensive understanding of Chinese accounting and auditing, including historical background and future perspective. If you are going to do business in China or with people in China, it is recommende to read this book.

This is one of the books required by the California State Board. And it's the only one I enjoyed studying.

It was only used at our school by teachers for classroom use or testing purposes. However, it contains some advanced channel and pattern pathomechanisms... the kind we only get a little exposure to in English.

Occasionally a Chinese teacher will talk about something like this for which we have no literature (For example, my herbal teacher mentioned a pattern called "Dragon Fire" which was mentioned nowhere in the English literature), so I already suspected we were missing out on some pathomechanisms, etc. Acu Case Histories fills in some of the gaps.

Especially interesting is the section on neurology. There is some fascinating discussion of the Du meridian, its relationship to neurological problems, pathogens, and other meridians.

This book is acupuncture only... in fact, half the patients in the book had already tried biomedicine AND HERBAL MEDICINE without result. It's easy (with the basic training we get in school) to begin to find herbal medicine more powerful than acupuncture. This book will show you some of the ways in which acupuncture can exceed herbal medicine.

Gives the reader a very good insight of the latest enhancements in 3G.

I find this book very informative yet uptodate if you want to know what are the recent advances in machine learning field of research. The topics presented are very insteresting and easy to read and understand.

The title: That's the only way I can put it.

Not a novice to the Civil War, I picked this up simply because of who wrote it. Twenty years after his death, Mr. Catton is continually reasserting himself as THE author to read on the Civil War.

This book contains general overtures, as written for lectures delivered at Wesleyan University in 1958, that he'd presented when he was alive. Like the title implies, passages are simply....beautifully written.

The author takes you through a variety of topics, again generally: politics, the citizen solder, Lincoln, the terrible price of victory.... The layout of the literature is in lecture format, but does absolutely nothing to take away from what you're reading about.

Spend the few dollars, and put this into your collection. It belongs on everybody's Civil War shelf. To take a line from page 68:

We are a people to whom the past is forever speaking.

Milne's biography of Rostow demonstrates the futility of creating a independent state without having any support of the native population. Rostow thought that is possible to end the Vietnam War by merely bombing North Vietnam. The North Vietnamese fearing for their industry would stop supporting the Viet Cong and bring NVA troops across the border and thereby an independent South Vietnam could be preserved. But this theory backfired and the North Vietnamese will strengthened and chaos erupted in South Vietnam. Still Rostow stayed true to his theory and persuaded Johnson to ignore offers of a bombing halt by Harold Wilson, Henry Kissinger, and members in Johnson's own cabinet. The only weakness of this book is that Milne ignores the influence of Thomas Schelling on members of the Johnson cabinet and their decision to bomb North Vietnam. Nevertheless one can see elements of Rostow's theory about bombing in order to create a stable state in John McCain's rhetoric about bombing Syria and Iran in order to create an American backed Iraqi state.

This book tells the story of one of the greatest Americans - Thomas Jefferson. It is a biography, but it goes far beyond the usual biography in examing the intellectual capacities and economic beliefs of Jefferson and of the men who, with him, were chiefly responsible for the foundation of the United States. From youth to death, Mr. Nock relates the life of this son of a Virginia planter who rose to be President of this country, founder and leader of one of the major schools of American political thought and father of the principles of freedom and democracy which have become a vital part of the tradition and character of all Americans.

The life of Jefferson was filled with acts of the highest importance to the future of his country, but even these acts are outweighed by the extraordinary influence which his championship of the rights of the producing part of the population has had. While he was President, this country made its most important territorial acquisition - the Louisiana Purchase. His private library became the nucleus of the Library of Congress. But more important than any of his acts was his constant belief in the virtues of an honest government for free men. This belief, for all his recognition of the difficulties of accomplishing it, never left him. After his return to Monticello following the eight trying years of Presidency, he wrote: "A government regulating itself by what is just and wise for the many, uninfluenced by the local and selfish views of the few who direct their affairs, has not been seen, perhaps, on earth. Or if it existed for a moment at the birth of ours, it would not be easy to fix the term of its continuance. Still, I believe it does exist here in a greater degree than anywhere else, and for its continuance and growth I offer sincere prayers."

This is a fantastic book. Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) had an amazing insight into human nature. Don't read this if you are tender about Christianity. It makes the "Christian" nation appear very selfish and outright evil. I love it and will read it again.

Baldwin's Flush Times is a great historical resource. Baldwin paints an interesting tale of frontier Alabama and Mississippi and the characters which lived in the region. Overall, a great illustration of the American frontier and the Jacksonian era.
