What Men Won't Tell You but Women Need to Know
ASIN: 1932022155 |
Book Description
This is the very first work which explores the interesting dynamic of why men deceive in relationships of all kinds: personal, professional, political, sports and academic. It is a groundbreaking work that is both instructive and humorous. Though written for both male and female audiences, it will resonate most strongly with women, more often than not the victims of male duplicity. Material is presented through association with popular television, motion picture and current event comparisons.

A Lost Opportunity.......2006-09-27
In many respects this is a superb book with excellent maps and details about armour etc used in the battle, however it is fundamentally flawed in that it appears to be written primarily as an appologetic to exalt General Simonds (and to a lesser extent his friend Major Amy). His use of detail, sources and planning indicate a well researched and comprehensive book and to a large extent this is so. However it is a pity that he too often uses words like perhaps, I suppose, maybe, it is possible, it appears, probably, etc to indicate a large degree of guesswork and supposition which once used then becomes fact and bases his argument around these supposed facts. Further he is inconsistent and contradictory in his conclusions often mentioning one thing early in the book and the reverse later. For example He describes Kurt Meyer as on of those rare commanders who is instantly able to read a battle and react positively and effectively and then lambasts him as a tactical moron. It is probable that he sees this as imperative because Meyer had the temerity to attack Simonds in his memoirs (as do most of the others the author attacks).
This book is a lost opportunity to create a great and lasting history of a flawed battle which was lost due to tactical rigidness and a failure to grasp the opportunities that presented themselves. However the book does have quite a lot going for it if the polemic nature is ignored and is worth a read.
Not to be missed.......2005-07-06
Brian Reid's book is a superb study of the genesis and execution of Operation TOTALIZE, Canadian general Guy Simonds' master-stroke in attempting to break the German hold on the high ground south of Calais. Even those who have studied Operation TOTALIZE and the Normandy campaign in detail will be able to learn something new from this book.
Brian Reid is starting from a review of the history of the Canadian army command and the Canadian army between the wars, to address the capabilities of the men who were in charge of the Canadian formations, and to understand the limitations that were placed on the ability of Canada to field large-scale formations capably of undertaking complex operations.
He then proceeds to discuss in detail the strategic background and the operational planning of TOTALIZE, including a detailed review of the air and artillery plans (the latter probably a first), and the battle plans for the individual divisions. The second half of the book is devoted to the narrative of the battle itself, while the appendix is covering such interesting issues as the use of airpower in support of ground operations, a discussion of comparative tank capabilities of the two sides, a new take on who really killed Michael Wittmann (Reid maintains it was not Trooper Ekins, without taking anything away from him), and a short article by John Grodzinski on the history of 1st Polish Armoured Division.
The narrative is superbly supported by excellent maps, photos, detailed vehicle drawings with a wealth of information, drawings of the columns used in the approach march during the night operation, and schematic drawings and tables outlining complex military items such as TO&Es, or the artillery fireplan.
For the battle narrative, he relies on witnesses through direct or written testimony, as well as primary and secondary sources. The only item of criticism here is that it would have been nice to see more original sources on the German side of things. This is made up for to some degree by the use of Canadian army documents referencing captured German records, but a spell in the archives with the German record would have taken this book from `superb' to `stunning'. Within the confines of wanting to provide a record of the operation from the Canadian perspective, this omission can be excused, however.
Reid's style is direct, no-nonsense. He dishes out criticism and praise in equal measure, whether it relates to historians, or soldiers on either side. His writing is certainly coloured by being a member of the Canadian Army in the 1950s and 60s, but only in that it appears to make him more blunt in his criticism of this very army. For example, he refers to Brigadier Booth's performance in TOTALIZE as `professionally inadequate and personally disgraceful.'.
Highly recommended, and his promised book on TRACTABLE is looking to be another `must-buy'. Based on this and Donald Graves' book, I would unhesitatingly part with my cash to buy any book from Robin Brass Studios that covers a topic of interest to me. They cannot be praised highly enough.
Robin Brass does it again.......2005-05-27
Robin Brass, and LCol Reid, have once again raised the bar. While the history of the South Alberta Regiment (and the newest title about the South Alberta Light Horse, both by Donald Graves) had raised the standard for Regimental histories, this book does the same for Operational studies.
This book is an in-depth examination of OPERATION TOTALIZE, one of many operations launched by the Canadian Army in Normandy, this one in the second week of August 1944. TOTALIZE, like many other operations (Spring, Atlantic, et al) has been much written about, and subject to much controversy. Reid takes a very fresh approach to the subject and dissects the planning and execution of this action very skillfully.
Reid is nothing like Zuehlke - while the latter simply poured out a trilogy of recycled secondary sources, Reid has dug deep to seriously question our current understanding of why this operation took place, and why it evolved as it did.
Reid starts at the beginning - with an impressive look at the training and employment of staff officers in the Canadian Army (following on in Granatstein's footsteps, who first broached the subject for public consumption with THE GENERALS), a look at how the Canadian Army developed in peace, and in war. It may seem to be an apologist approach, but I think it is necessary to appreciate the capabilities of the Canadian Army in Normandy, and adds to fuller understanding.
Every chapter is rich in detail - from identifying who drove the first Kangaroo APCs to a detailed analysis of Simond's written appreciation and outline plan, as submitted to General Crerar.
TOTALIZE was unique in that it was a large armoured attack launched at night (not common in doctrine at that time, though not untried, either), with the first use of a fully tracked and armoured APC to move the troops forward, as well as heavy bombing used tactically. Reid looks at all this in detail.
The maps in this volume are among the best ever published in support of an operational history. Chris Johnson has once again also worked his magic with many line drawings of the armour and vehicles used in the campaign, both Canadian and German. Many good photos also complement the text.
There is even a well developed chapter about "who got Wittman" - with not just a map, but a topographical map showing elevations. Great fodder for tactical game scenario designers. Other appendices include a complete history of 1 Polish Armoured Division (with order of battle and even rank structure) as well as a treatise on airpower and a breakdown of German and Allied order of battle.
Overall one of the best operational studies yet written about the Canadian Army in Normandy. May have benefitted from aerial photography, but hard to fault the book in any other way. Can't recommend this highly enough not just for an understanding of TOTALIZE, but for anyone interested in the debate about just how good the Canadian Army was in the Second World War.

Book Description
This memoir of Céleste de Chabrillan, former Parisian courtesan, circus performer, dancer, and wife of the French consul, offers a firsthand account of the years she spent in gold rush Victoria during the middle of the 19th century. De Chabrillan recounts stories of her childhood in the village of St. Kilda, her time spent in the Ballarat gold field, and her attendance of a public hanging and Governor Hotham's "beer ball." The publication of this memoir, which includes descriptions of her illegitimate birth, miserable adolescence, and celebrity career as a bareback rider and polka dancer, resulted in de Chabrillan's ostracism from Melbourne society and her being nicknamed the consul's "harlot spouse."

Customer Reviews:
Absolutely terrible.......2004-04-27
Although this book may be useful as a reference, it is a disaster if you are new to chemistry and don't have a professor, who could explain some topics from this book.
In order to understand the book's problems you have to buy separately a solution manual.
So-so.......2002-08-27
A bit too complicated for a General Chemistry text, yet it still fails to touch on certain important aspects (steric numbers, among others). The practice problems at the end of each chapter are highly abstract, but may be viewed as somewhat useful when compared to the extremely wordy and complicated study guide. College students studying Chemistry for the first time, especially older non-traditional students, will find the authors' approach to several concepts to be unnecessarily complex. This text is far more useful when accompanied by a study guide such as Houk's Chemistry: Concepts and Problems, A Self-Teaching Guide. The text's study guide is fairly useless unless the instructor pulls tests from the publisher's web suite.
A nice read.......2002-01-18
I used this book for AP chem. I know one of the reviewers claims that it doesn't prepare you for the test. I think though, that it covers all the information you'll need to get a five on the AP, as I used this book, and I got a five. Perhaps, the practice problems aren't exactly AP chem test type problems. Therefore, to study for the actual test, go find a practice AP chem book like Barrons. They give you myriad practice problems. This book though, explains chemistry, not just how to do problems. Some people think that its over simplified. I think that its just written well and doesn't over complicate matters. Everything you need to know for a first year non calculus based chemistry course is in this book...and its accessible. The language is clear and concise. The sample problems are very useful because they cover basic problem solving techniques. I also enjoyed the little notes in the margins, they're kinda funny (this refers to the third edition). Anyway, if you want a general chem book that is not too complicated but still covers alot of material, this one's for you!
Good text book.......2001-07-08
I am a UCONN student, where Prof. Masterton and Prof. Hurley are my chemistry teachers. I have to say that this book is very well written, and interesting to read. It explains the priciple in clear and easy to understand fassion, not wordy, not repetitive. The exercises are step by step, and get to the point. The author often makes connection between chemistry and our everyday life. For example, he will expain that sea water is a bit slipery because it's slightly basic. There are some comments that this book is too simple, and not at college level. Well, I'm taking general chemistry course here, with this textbook, and this course is one of the hardest course at UCONN. We judge a book by it's content, not by it's thickness or how pretty the title page is. There are not too many organic stuff here, but most people who is major in chemistry related fields go on to take Organic Chemistry, at here this is the way it is here. This book is supposed to be General introduction to chemistry. And you can certainly get a lot out of it.
Absolute Filth.......2001-02-05
Absolute filth!! I am a student in AP Chemistry and this was the title for our text, until we used the masterpiece written by Steven Zumdahl. This does not prepare one well for any chemistry class, is poorly written, not up to par with our technology today, is written in a very unorganized and in a tengential manner, and, well...absolute filth!

Supramolecular Chemistry (Oxford Chemistry Primers, 74)
ASIN: 0470858672 |
Book Description
Supramolecular chemistry and nanochemistry are two strongly interrelated cutting edge frontiers in research in the chemical sciences. The results of recent work in the area are now an increasing part of modern degree courses and hugely important to researchers.
Core Concepts in Supramolecular Chemistry and Nanochemistry clearly outlines the fundamentals that underlie supramolecular chemistry and nanochemistry and takes an umbrella view of the whole area. This concise textbook traces the fascinating modern practice of the chemistry of the non-covalent bond from its fundamental origins through to it expression in the emergence of nanochemistry.
Fusing synthetic materials and supramolecular chemistry with crystal engineering and the emerging principles of nanotechnology, the book is an ideal introduction to current chemical thought for researchers and a superb resource for students entering these exciting areas for the first time. The book builds from first principles rather than adopting a review style and includes key references to guide the reader through influential work.
- supplementary website featuring powerpoint slides of the figures in the book
- further references in each chapter
- builds from first principles rather than adopting a review style
- includes chapter on nanochemistry clear diagrams to highlight basic principles

This self-contained introduction to the dispersed and sometimes controversial research about the structure, composition, and temperature of the Earth, requires no previous knowledge of geophysics or mineral physics.
Download Description
Introduction to the Physics of the Earth's Interior describes the structure, composition and temperature of the deep Earth in one comprehensive volume. The book begins with a succinct review of the fundamentals of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics of solids, and presents the theory of lattice vibration in solids. It introduces the various equations of state, moving on to a discussion of melting laws and transport properties. The book closes with a discussion of current seismological, thermal and compositional models of the Earth. The new edition of this successful textbook has been enlarged and fully updated, taking into account the considerable experimental and theoretical progress recently made in understanding the inner structure of the Earth. Like the first edition, this will be a useful textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in geophysics and mineralogy. It will also be of great value to researchers in earth sciences, physics and materials sciences.
