Go buy a ised book and save your money........1999-04-07

A rehash of his old book. Nothing new here

Mac book.......1998-09-02

The book was ok, but the same pot boiler material appended to most generic dog books. There wasn't anything special about the book in that regard, not much history or description that distinguishes the breed from anything else.

Probably not such a good buy.......1998-04-01

Plenty of glossy photos of Sealyhams; but the book was more of an essay about the personal successes one or two breeders. Sadly the book did not focus on the breed qualities or characteristics, and worse the breed data, & facts were often old and misleading. I had misgivings about the book's accuracy and I agree with other reviews in here that the book's content was old and out of date by 20 years. The book is probably not a good value

Finally a new Sealyham Terrier Book.......1998-03-06

I'm from the Netherlands and we have here no Sealyham Books at all, This book is welcome and will be helping the owners how they must take care of the Sealyham. Great and Nice Pictures,

Finally a new Sealyham Terrier book.......1998-03-06

I'm glad and happy that there is a new book about the Sealyham Terrier, I'm from the Netherlands, and we have no Sealyham books at all, In Europe there are not so many Sealyham owners and this book will become I think a welcome place in our booklist. It will help owners of a Sealyham Terrier to enjoy the Sealyham better. Richard de Reus Secretary of the Dutch Sealyham Terrier Club

Photo Essay for Sealyhams 1911-1987.......1997-10-18

The book was a collection of stories, breeding history of Champion dogs and photographs of American Champions. The collection of photographs includes photos from a great number of breeders, but it does not include all champions for the era covered. The book does however provide the reader with a large sample collection of what a Sealyham Champion looks like, and therefore serves as a resentative sample. Some of the Sealys in this book are wonderful, good, average and poor. Nevertheless, the pictures provide a fair sample and range of various Sealyham looks. This book is a good pictorial introduction to the breed.

MUST-HAVE History and Technical Info for Staggerwing Enthusiasts.......2006-08-10

I am going to keep this short: This beautiful, large-format hardcover book is a dream-come-true for aficionados of Beech's classic Model 17 biplane, aka, the Staggerwing. This book is an absolute tour-de-force labor of love by author Smith.

Smith has filled this book to the brim with history, technical specs, photos, diagrams. Anyone who owns or hopes to own a Staggerwing should, simply, not be without this book. Absolutely do not buy a Staggerwing without getting to know this book. From beauty to the nitty-gritty, you will learn things that even so-called experts do not know.

It is truly, without a doubt, a must-have book for any true Staggerwing aficionado. It is awesome. It is a to-be-kept-forever reference to the breed. It is a classic.

Book Description

Gardening is now the favorite leisure pastime in America. Homeowners are realizing the benefits derived from gardening, namely enjoyment, exercise, and nutrition.

The Mississippi Fruit & Vegetable Book is written by the highly popular gardening experts Walter Reeves and Felder Rushing.

Contains advice for plant fruits, vegetables, and herbs. With 60 featured plants, the authors provide characteristics of available varieties, planting and maintenance advice, as well as recipes for dishes from the garden.

Book Description

David Shambaugh, a leading international authority on Chinese strategic and military affairs, offers the most comprehensive and insightful assessment to date of the Chinese military. The result of a decade's research, Modernizing China's Military comes at a crucial moment in history, one when international attention is increasingly focused on the rise of Chinese military power. Basing his analysis on an unprecedented use of Chinese military publications and interviews with People's Liberation Army (PLA) officers, Shambaugh addresses important questions about Chinese strategic intentions and military capabilities--questions that are of key concern for government policymakers as well as strategic analysts and a concerned public.

Customer Reviews:

A good overview on China's military.......2007-09-19

Despite some of the mistakes pointed out by past reviewers, I believe the book is still a valuable resource for people not familiar with China's military. What I found particularly useful was Shambaugh's presentation of the Chinese military manufacturing industry and just how weak it is (at least for now). While in no means a comprehensive resource on China's military, its a good book and is worth the read.

Great, but outdated a bit.......2005-03-22

This is a great book and I think it is worth to read it. The writer covers all basic information of PLA and provides his own in-sight analysis. The best part in this book is the section talking about the civil-military relationship between Chinese government or Communist part and PLA. Most of people focus only on the modernization of equipment and training of PLA but this writer gives another perspective of how PLA should further transform itself into a ¡°government¡¯s army¡± rather than a ¡°party¡¯s army¡±.

However, this book is not perfect. The part talking about the equipment of PLA is basically outdated. Most of his sources on PLA seem to be based on pre-2000 information. For example, he never mentions Type-98 or Type-98G tank and its mysterious laser dazzler in his book. He also refuses to recognize China¡¯s ¡°state-of-art¡± missile industry. Therefore, if you are interested in the equipment of PLA, I recommend www.sinodefence.com and www.china-defense.com, which offer ¡°real-time¡± update for what is happening to PLA.

Overall, this is a great book for analyzing the political modernization of PLA but not technical modernization.

If you know anything about the PLA, don't buy this book.......2004-01-23

OK, anyone who knows anything about the PLA will find this to be a very boring read. With the possible acception of the chapter on the CMC, Shambaugh provides little in the way of original insight and the rest of the book simply rehashes material that could be found in tons of better books like You Ji's the Armed Forces of China, or RAND's The PLA as Organization, which frankly are very good investments.

Furthermore, Shambaugh's book is full of mistakes, including on p.1 where he states that the US use of B-1 bombers was critical to the destruction of Iraq during Desert Storm, which would be news to the US as the B-1 wasn't introduced in combat until Afghanistan. There are also examples of ships being misidentified in pictures. Not a good example of serious scholarly work.

The one good thing that I can say about this book is that the footnotes are incredible.

For a scholar as respected as Shambaugh who spent a decade or two on this, Modernizing China's Military was a really disappointing book,

Amazing.......2003-04-13

Professor Shambaugh's introduction to the Chinese military is an easy to read book full of important detail and predictions. Few books out there provide a full overview of the PLA including topics such as civil-military relations, and PLA budget. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the Chinese military or East Asian security.

This volume of ten essays on Modernizing China discusses crucial issues on: China's economic policies, State-Church relationship, environmental problems, the Four Modernizations, the role of new economic zones, China's perception of external threats, the role of intellectuals, the status of art policy, and the rights of women in society. These essays examine changes taking place in modern China. Will these changes lead to a pluralistic, less-oppressive open society or will they strengthen the hardliners in consolidating their power? What about the future of China after Deng? The volume attempts to generate intellectual debate on these issues.

Book Description

Exposed to powerful new economic forces, and undergoing dramatic ownership reforms and technological changes, China's industries are modernizing at a breakneck pace. In many industries, the outcomes have been chaotic and poorly aligned with societal objectives. This book analyzes the transformation and modernization of China's industries through a detailed investigation of the wool and wool textile industries. The authors argue that to remain internationally competitive in the post-WTO accession era, Chinese industries need to confront a critical new phase in the modernization process - that of improving management practices and industry co-ordination. Modernizing China's Industries is a comprehensive, integrated and in-depth investigation of industry transformation and modernization. The extensive first-hand research, across a range of industry segments and participants, spans almost two decades. The analysis reveals much about industry modernization and transition in China for a broad range of industries and therefore provides invaluable information for developing strategies and accessing opportunities within China.

Book Description

This book is part of a broad examination of Confucianism and its implications for modernization of the Confucian regions (covering mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, and Singapore). It is mainly concerned with the industrialization and modernization of Taiwan. To help readers understand the process of modernization, the book provides an introduction to the history of Taiwan and to Confucianism and its modern implications. As far as social and economic principles are concerned, Taiwan's modernization is, according to the author, characterized by Americanization and modernizing Confucian manifestations. The book demonstrates that Taiwan has actually provided an important case study not only for the capitalist spirit of overseas Chinese, but also for possible implications of Confucianism for modernization. The unique character of this book is that in explaining Taiwan's modernization, it deals not only with economic and social issues, but also examines the philosophical foundations, an endeavor which no other author has systematically made before.
