For the record...........2004-03-18
Just for the record, the reviewer who characterizes those of us who have written critical reviews here as "left-wingers who wouldn't know Jesus if he walked in the door" could not be more wrong. One person has already responded. I am the co-founder and 26-year head of an evangelical ministry for Christian childbirth educators, and I have been a born-again Christian since I was four years old.
I also happen to know Jan Barger, another reviewer, personally, and she is a committed Christian who is very active in evangelical ministries. She also has a solid Christian family heritage; her great-grandfather was one of the most noted Christian leaders of the early 20th century, and her mother was a published Christian author.
It is perfectly appropriate for other Christians to disagree with us if they wish. It is inappropriate for them to malign us as non-Christian. I hope for a little more restraint from others who post reviews on this book.
conservative Christian.......2004-03-06
I would like to address the last reviewer who states that anyone who objects to Slonecker is a "Howard Deanesque left-winger who wouldn't know Jesus if He walked in through the front door."
I am a VERY conservative Christian...my family and I adhere to EXTREMELY conservative views...much more conservative views than even the average Christian. (Just one example, I wear a headcovering to show my submissiveness as a wife.) I have known the Lord personally and intimately for 16 years.
It is precisely because of my extremely conservative views that I find fault with Slonecker's poor exegesis of Scripture and terribly poor advice for parenting infants and children. Put simply, his advice is not "the old way" as is often espoused. It is a way that came into vogue within the last 100 years or so. This was NOT the way Jesus was raised---treating children this way was simply not done in His culture.
Experts tell us that Jewish mothers of the Bible breastfed for at least 2-3 years (see I Samuel 1:21-23), co-slept with their families (see Jesus' parable in Luke 11:5-7), breastfed when the baby indicated a hunger or comfort need rather than on a schedule (see Isaiah 66:10-13), and did not immediately give solid foods to infants (see Hebrews 5:12-14).
And we know that the TRUE older way of the Scriptures is best, as is evidenced by the mounds and mounds of scientific research today that shows the benefit of God's older and more natural way and the outright health risks and harms of man's (i.e., Slonecker's) new and improved way.
For a better and more Scripturally sound way of raising children, conservative Christian readers will find a haven and encouragement in books written by such conservative authors as Dr. Ross Campbell (How To Really Love Your Child, Relational Parenting), Dr. and Mrs. William Sears (The Baby Book, The Discipline Book, The Complete Book of Christian Parenting and Child Care), Dr. Brenda Hunter (Home By Choice, The Power of Motherlove), and Clay and Sally Clarkson (Heartfelt Discipline, The Mission of Motherhood).
I hope new and vulnerable parents will see through the harmful and unnatural techniques of Slonecker and will seek their advice elsewhere. That is my sincere prayer.
Excellent Advice for Parents.......2004-01-18
It is disappointing but not surprising in our current society to see folks bashing Dr. Slonecker's advice on raising children. He was our doctor through two children and both have responded well to his methods. One slept throught the night at 3 weeks and the other at about 10 days and neither have suffered for it or felt any detachment or lack of trust in their parents. "Affluenza" runs rampent in Brentwood and the parents have lost control, buying everything in sight that their kids ask for. If more folks would listen to Dr. Slonecker and learn to use the tried and true methods from the past that he espouses, we wouldn't have the problems with kids that we see in society today. He is the "Dave Ramsey" of pediatricians that tell how to raise a child like your grandparents did. If you are a conservative, thinking, Christian, you should easily see that the negative reviews published here are by Howard Deanesque left wingers who wouldn't know Jesus if he walked in through the front door and simply don't like a conservative approach to anything.
Stay Away.......2003-11-24
I am horrified that respected Christian publisher Broadman & Holman has published this book. Clearly they did not do adequate medical review before doing so, or they would have realized how significantly the pediatrician author's advice departs from the standards of his own professional organization, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
The feeding advice in the book regarding breastfeeding, formula feeding, and starting solids directly contradicts the AAP recommendations. It is likely to contribute significantly to the failure of breastfeeding, to food allergies, and possibly even to low weight gain or failure to thrive.
The discipline advice is equally troubling. As a Christian, I am grieved by the harsh, hyper-controlling attitude Dr. Slonecker advocates. Yes, God expects obedience and so should Christian (and nonChristian) parents. But Dr. Slonecker is not mirroring God's approach by focusing on parental power, rather than nurture.
Further, some of his stories, presumably from years ago during his practice, today would constitute legally actionable child abuse in most communities. A dentist not only remaining alone in an exam room with a child who has stripped naked, but then forcing that child to walk naked through the outer office and parking lot? This, plus the story of packing a defiant ill child in ice to teach her who was in charge is nothing more than the legally questionable exercise of raw power, not real training in healthy attitudes toward authority.
Stay away from this book. The author may be a pediatrician (now retired, I believe), but he is seriously out of step with current medical knowledge and with generally accepted Christian standards from other respected parenting authors like Dr. Kevin Leman, Dr. Ross Campbell, and Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend.
This book is SCARY.......2003-11-16
I've read some pretty bad parenting books in my lifetime, but this book takes the cake! The feeding advice comes straight out of the 1940s. Even the breastfeeding information is based on a formula feeding model and is designed to make sure that the mother's milk is completely depleted within 2 weeks. He states that women should start training their babies to sleep through the night starting from the first night home from the hospital, which includes letting the baby cry it out for a minimum of 20 minutes to "assure that the baby is truly hungry and to aerate the lungs." Aerate the lungs? The lungs are as fully aerated at 30 minutes after birth as they are ever going to be. Slonecker assures his readers that by stretching out the time that you let the baby cry at night just a little every night, by two weeks the baby will be sleeping through. Is THIS the goal of parenting? To destroy any shred of trust a baby may be developing in the people he loves most in the world? The entire section on feeding is completely contrary to what any feeding expert knows is good for infants. Start the baby on cereal at 2 weeks? Put the baby on low iron formula if formula fed -- but then the reason cereal is started is because there isn't enough iron in milk? If a mother followed the feeding guidelines she would be setting her child up for obesity, allergies, and a host of other illnesses.
Discipline measures border on sadistic. If a child's first understanding of the person of God is in how he views his parents, then his perception would be that God is not loving, but punitive; not accessible, but remote, and not willing to meet the needs of his child.
Stay far, far away from this book. You will do far better in learning how to relate to your baby and will be empowered as a parent by reading "Christian Parenting and Childcare" by Sears.
Book Description
X PLANES OF THE THIRD REICH SERIES An Illustrated Series on Germany's Experimental Aircraft of World War II
The Focke-Wulf Ta 183 "geheim projekt" came from the mind of aircraft design genius Hans Multhopp. With its single HeS 011A turbojet engine and signature "Multhopp T-tail" it had been selected for immediate series production by the RLM in March, 1945, and Focke-Wulf officials believed that the 183's maiden flight might occur as quickly as June, 1945. Post-war the Ta 183 became the "mother" of the Soviet MiG-15 and the Argentine IAe 33 "Pulqui II" which Kurt Tank built for PresidentŽ Juan Per-n. This photographic history of the 183 by David Myhra features 129 mostly previously unpublished photos, three-view line drawings, and stunning state-of-the-art digital color images. , over 120 b/w photographs and line drawings, 11" x 8 1/2"

This book [is bad].......2003-01-29
On cover of this book You will read: '...mostly unpublished photos, three-view line drawings, and stunning state-of-art digital color images'.
But in the book there are no good three-view line drawings (I know that such a drawings are aviable for Ta 183).
'State of art 3D color images' are in fact very low quality, black and white, very bad renderings (You can find better in the net). Some of them has pixels 1x1mm! Picture on the cover is ink jet print!
In my opinnion it is the worst airplane monography, that I have ever seen (I had to gave this book 1 star, but it should be 0).
I can hardly belive, that someone would print it and sell it as commercial book!
Don't buy it - it [is bad]
Possibly the worst researched aviation book I've ever seen.......2000-10-07
Where do I start? First off, Myhra is terrible writer, whose prose is pedestrian and clumsy. The photos in the book are mainly of models - nicely built, but still models. On the good side, Myhra has access to many original drawings, and these are interesting.
What is most disturbing is Myhra's complete lack of research skills in anything other than his primary subject, and his utter disregard for any facts that contradict his pet theories.
Myhra repeats the now discredited theory that the Soviet MiG-15 was a "reworking" of the Ta 183, rather than an original design, as has become clear since the relevant Soviet information has become available since the fall of the Berlin Wall. For the accurate story, try Bill Gunston's authoritive book in MiG Aircraft in the Putman series.
Even more of a stretch is Myhra's assertation that the English Electric Lightning was a reworking of a design that Ta 183 designer Hans Multhropp did for the RAE in 1947. Myhra is obviously unfamiliar with his subject; he claims the Lightning first flew in 1947, when it actually, as the P.1, flew in 1954. The two aircraft have virtually nothing in common; the Multhropp design had absolutely nothing to do with the Lightning. I should know; my father was on the Lightning design team, and I asked him!
Myhra shows a blatant disregard for facts in this book. Look at the pictures if you like, but ignore the text.
An adequate book on an influential design.......2000-07-26
I got the book because I am a fan of the genre. If you ask the question, "why is there an entire book written on an aircraft that never flew?", well the answer is this: This paper design influenced a whole slew of advanced jet fighter designs post war. The Ta-183 was the first jet fighter aircraft designed with (the then) revolutionary swept wings and T-tail. The soviet Mig-15 / Mig-17 (and to a certain extent the US Sabre), legendary aircraft of their time owes their ancestral lineage to the Ta-183 "Huckbein". You can still see the Mulhopp "T-Tail" whenever you fly a 727 or MD80. I kind of liked this book. Although to a certain extent there is some padding due to the dearth of real Ta-183 material, I liked the way the author contrasted how two different designs derived from the Ta-183 ended up as. The Mig-15 became a legendary soviet fighter whereas the Argentinian Iae-33 Pulqui II was a dismal failure even though its design was helmed by the legendary Kurt Tank. All-in-all, I found this book to be fascinating reading. For fans of the "secret projects" genre, this book is a "must read" if not a "must have".
Interesting aircraft, but book lacks substance........2000-07-07
This heavily illustrated volume is just one in the "X Planes of the Third Reich Series." Although this aircraft, the Ta 183, is a most interesting topic for study this work gives relatively little in the way of substance, which begs the question, "If there is such scant information about this aircraft why produce an entire book on it?"
A brief introduction (8 or 9 pages of a total of 64) is devoted to the history of the aircraft including the fighter's conception and post World War II developments. Much more information regarding the later topic should have been presented in this work seeing that the Ta 183 was never produced during World War II.
The rest of the book is devoted to pictures, diagrams, and computer rendered images of the Ta 183. While the computer rendered images are fascinating to look at they are overdone, there are too many; they become too redundant. There is also too much reliance on pictures of scale models of the aircraft. This is understandable seeing that the Ta 183 was only in the design stages when the Third Reich collapsed, but they are overused. On the other hand they do give the reader a clear idea of what the fighter would/could have looked like. Photographs of the post-war evolution (in Argentina and the Soviet Union) of the aircraft are adequate.
Overall this book is not a "must have" even for "hard core" Luftwaffe enthusiasts. It does however make enjoyable viewing just for the sake of the historical question of "what if".

From its opening-line salvo—"It is time to stop pretending that Europeans and Americans share a common view of the world, or even that they occupy the same world"—Of Paradise and Power announces a new phase in the relationship between the United States and Europe. Robert Kagan begins this illuminating essay by laying out the general differences as he sees them: the U.S. is quicker to use military force, less patient with diplomacy, and more willing to coerce (or bribe) other nations in order to get a desired result. Europe, on the other hand, places greater emphasis on diplomacy, takes a much longer view of history and problem solving, and has greater faith in international law and cooperation. Kagan does not view these differences as the result of innate national character, but as a time-honored historical reality--the U.S. is merely behaving like the powerful nation it is, just as the great European nations once did when they ruled the world. Now, Europe must act multilaterally because it has no choice. The "UN Security Council is a substitute for the power they lack," he writes.
Kagan also emphasizes the inherent ironies present in the relationship. European nations have enjoyed an "American security guarantee" for nearly 60 years, allowing them to cut back on defense spending while criticizing the U.S. for not doing the same. Yet Europe relies upon the U.S. for protection. This has led America and Europe to view the same threats much differently, as evidenced by the split over how to deal with Iraq and Saddam Hussein. Kagan points out that some European leaders are more afraid of how the U.S. will wield its power in the Middle East than they are of the thought of Hussein or other "rogue state" leaders acquiring weapons of mass destruction.
Kagan's brevity is as impressive as it is appreciated; most writers would have required thrice as many pages to get to their point. At any length, the book is nothing short of brilliant. This is essential reading for those seeking to understand the post-Cold War world. --Shawn Carkonen
Book Description
From a leading scholar of our country’s foreign policy, the brilliant essay about America and the world that has caused a storm in international circles now expanded into book form.
European leaders, increasingly disturbed by U.S. policy and actions abroad, feel they are headed for what the New York Times (July 21, 2002) describes as a “moment of truth.” After years of mutual resentment and tension, there is a sudden recognition that the real interests of America and its allies are diverging sharply and that the trans-atlantic relationship itself has changed, possibly irreversibly. Europe sees the United States as high-handed, unilateralist, and unnecessarily belligerent; the United States sees Europe as spent, unserious, and weak. The anger and mistrust on both sides are hardening into incomprehension.
This past summer, in Policy Review, Robert Kagan reached incisively into this impasse to force both sides to see themselves through the eyes of the other. Tracing the widely differing histories of Europe and America since the end of World War II, he makes clear how for one the need to escape a bloody past has led to a new set of transnational beliefs about power and threat, while the other has perforce evolved into the guarantor of that “postmodern paradise” by dint of its might and global reach. This remarkable analysis is being discussed from Washington to Paris to Tokyo. It is esssential reading.

A Provocative Essay That Deserves to be Heard.......2007-10-09
"America's cause is the cause of mankind" Benjamin Franklin once said.
As the most powerful nation in the post-Evil-Empire World Order, will America stop pretending it shares the same destiny and aspirations with a fundamentally dissimilar Europe?
With all the clamor surrounding foreign policy debates these days, the notion that this nation was destined to become an "Empire of liberty" is seldom contemplated upon and often scorned altogether. Hordes of Americans will fervently defend striding to follow the militarily weaker states of Europe who harmoniously coexist today while relying solely on International institutions and diplomacy, but is this the most propitious path for the lone standing superpower in the world?
Foreign Affairs scholar Robert Kagan, in an admirably succinct essay, examines the differences and ambitions of the two while upholding that Europeans and Americans do not share the same world view or convictions that determine their actions on the world stage. His argument centers around the differences in attitudes and experiences of the two modern empires in which he asserts that, although unpopular with the international community, America's role in the new world order dictates a position of leadership and the authority to act in its own best interests.
This compact book sets forth an intricate but enigmatic premise that the US must take the initiative to act at times unilaterally for its own concernment and security, even if it means without the moral or strategic support from Europe. Asserting that the root cause of the divisions in attitudes between the two is America's willingness to use it's power that's construed as "a threat to Europe's new sense of mission" by contemporary European countries. Nevertheless, he assures that there still remains a "West" that partakes in a common vision for humanity despite contrasting worldviews.
Politically inconvenient to the Left, and fragments of the Right; opposing parities will deny it, but Kagan affirms there is no refuting that those who behold power have an obligation to global responsibility. As he puts it: "The myth of America's "isolationist" tradition is remarkably resilient. But it is a myth. Expansion of territory and influence has been an inescapable reality of American history, and it has not been an unconscious expansion. The ambition to play a grand role of the world stage is deeply rooted in the American character."
Welcome to the desert of the neocon.......2007-05-13
This book is useful for insight into the thinking of neoconservatives, but has little to do with the real world.
Kagan states that appeasement policies of the 1930's were "a product not of analysis but of weakness." That's funny considering the USSR was the biggest appeaser of any country in Europe, actively conspiring with Hitler to invade Poland. Yet the USSR chewed up the vast bulk of Germany's continental armies and occupied half of Europe. To claim the USSR, Britain, and France all followed policies of appeasement for the same single reason would be dubious no matter the reason. To say the reason was weakness is stupid.
The United States is compared to a heroic Sheriff protecting the weak townsfolk against rogues and outlaws. I suggest Kagan read up on the history of the old west, in fact lawmen were often no better then outlaws and they frequently switched places. Hardly an example to follow if you intend to be a hegemon for long.
Perhaps most delusional is the analogy where he compares dealing with Iraq to shooting a bear. C'mon, wasn't it supposed to be more like shooting a cow?
Throughout the book Kagan conflates Europe with some mythical all powerful female figure. The essay at heart is a cry for liberation from her feminine strictures, a call for men to act like men and shoot each other.
Not very good policy, but this volume is a near perfect time-capsule of neoconservative thought. Future psychologists and social historians are indebted.
God It Has Aged.......2007-04-26
Luckily this book got an afterword in 2004. The initial text is definitely obsolete. But even so three years have passed and the book is quite largely obsolete. First and foremost today the main objection at the decision of the Bush administration to go at war in Iraq is that all evidence, intelligence and testimonies brought to our attention at the time has been revealed as nothing but lies. And maybe even worse than that. The recently revealed top secret classified papers from the French Ministry of Defense have revealed that terrorist attacks were planned with highjacked commercial planes at least nine months before 9/11. Did the Minister of Defense at the time, a socialist, not communicate this intelligence to the newly elected President Bush? Or did the newly elected President Bush neglect this intelligence. A second investigation is necessary. What did the two administrations, French and US, do at the time? And don't forget this field of expertise (military and foreign policies) is the privileged area of presidential governance in France. So Chirac had some kind of say in the decision to communicate or not this intelligence to the US. But that does not change the fact that all arguments used by Colin Powell or President Bush in 2002-2003 were a pack of lies. But even so, and trust cannot be built on lies, the other essential objection of Europeans and many other nations, including China and Russia, was that this war would open up a box of surprises, each one of them worse than all the others. Today in 2007 we are forced say that all these fears have come true. I will overlook the torturing of prisoners in El Ghraib or Guantanamo. I will overlook the nullification of habeas corpus for the prisoners in Guantanamo. I will only look at two elements that cannot be solved in any way by any number of GIs, no matter how many. Iraq is on the verge of a possible explosion that will send waves and tremors a lot farther than the Middle East. Who can imagine what would happen if a reunified Kurdistan was becoming a reality? Who can imagine what would happen if a reunified Shiite nation were to be recomposed, essentially what's more a reunified Shiite nation that would not be Arabic in spite of its being Moslem? What remains on the table is that Iraq has become ungovernable with three million refugees all around the world, and essentially in Syria and Jordania, with at least 600,000 civilian victims so far and the number grows everyday by the hundreds and not by the units. That's why we, the Europeans and many others, said the war was an absurdity. No WMDs but results that are deadly. Iran is running on an everyday more radical road. Hizbollah has taken over Moslem Lebanon. Hamas has been elected in Palestine, and there is no end to that long line of consequences. President Bush has opened up a Pandora's box that threatens to be a well timed but unpredictable bomb. When will it explode? We don't know. Will Israel's nuclear weapons be enough to stop it? We don't know. What will the Russia or Chinese reaction be? We don't know. That's why this book has to be read and meditated upon. It is the revelation of the most extreme impossibility for some American intellectuals to listen to the world and understand history is changing. So far class struggle and war were the engines of history. Today economic welfare and development are becoming this engine because everyone wants electricity, cars, fridges and washing machines. Henry Ford's answer when he was asked why his T Model was black is typical of the extreme dictatorship the mass economy of the mass consumer's society we are living in or aspiring to be living in imposes onto us, and without any kind of a war possible out of it: "I have no objection to any other color, provided it is black." Humanity started its long road towards freedom and democracy and welfare as soon as the homo sapiens, Cromagnon in Europe, decided to develop the division of labor imposed by the premature state of its little babies into an economic division of labor that created then the market economy, since some had goods or services others did not have and they had to start pooling together and exchanging things. The future of the world is democratic because the mass market of our mass consumer's society requires peace and freedom, peace and democracy, peace and personal individual responsibility and creativity. President Bush maybe wants to go faster than the hands of the Big Ben of history. Impossible. One has to desire something to accept to have it, better even to earn it, win it or deserve it. A gift is a gift but if it a basic vital thing it becomes an alienation or a humiliation. The Americans did not understand that, even in Europe. I remember a colleague professor of mine in Davis, CA, presenting the land around the campus as the richest land in the world. Vanity fair, nothing else. In de Gaulle's time hotel managers in Paris explained American tourists that they did not have the biggest king size beds in the world, nor the most spacious bath cum toilet restrooms, but they did have the biggest fleas and all French people were proud of their fleas. Robert Kagan is behind his time, just like President Bush. And I did have a petition signed after 9/11 to express my and many other people's grief and solidarity with the victims and I did have a petition widely signed in my city at the time against the war in Iraq after Babylon had been attacked. So please don't argue the point and the trauma of 9/11 that some of my students read 9-1-1.

Breaking down trends in transatlantic relations.......2007-04-19
For such a short book, Kagan simply and adeptly lays out his beliefs on why America and Europe seem to behave differently in the international arena.
Some salient points: Where we are today is merely a reversal of roles--Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries wielded great power, while America played the role of a minor power. Today, America wields great power, while the Europeans have not collectively come together as a great power on the international stage.
Kagan outlines the paradox of this situation: simply put, America, in the post-war era, created, to an extent, the situation that we have today. By providing security to Europe in the Cold War, the Europeans were able to reallocate resources that would have been spent on defense. Which was a problem during the crises in the Balkans, where Europe found itself hamstrung to effectively deal with problems close to home.
While dated, it is still relevant today. While America would like to see the Europeans shoulder more of a defense burden around the globe, it remains a target of European criticism for taking action that others can not. Therein lies the dilemma. Great read, and should be of interest to anyone studying international relations and transatlantic relations.
Discredited Neocon.......2007-02-17
If you want the warmongering neocon point of view, from those same guys who brought us the Project for the New American Century, pre-emptive war on Iraq based on falsified intelligence, and who are now foaming at the mouth to invade Iran, subjugating US foreign policy to Israeli interests and perhaps create a world-wide war in the process....go right ahead!

Great book.......2006-05-07
This was a great book describing the changing dynamics between the U.S. and Europe as a consequence of America's ascending military and economic might. It is a fast read and is well written. This book is mostly a retroactive look at the relationship of weak countries and strong countries.
Book Description
After years of mutual resentment and tension, today it is clear that the interests of the US and Europe deviate even more. Europe sees the US as an arbitrary and belligerent power, while the US sees Europe as a rigorous and weak continent. This thought provoking book offers a unique analysis, essential to understand the relationship between these two powers.
Description in Spanish: Tras años de mutuo resentimiento y tensiones, hoy está claro que los intereses de Estados Unidos y Europa divergen cada vez más, y que la relación transatlántica ha cambiado notablemente, posiblemente de forma irreversible. Europa cree que Estados Unidos es una potencia arbitraria, unilateral e innecesariamente beligerante; Estados Unidos piensa que Europa es un continente cansado, poco riguroso y débil. La indignación y la desconfianza por ambas partes está desembocando en una incomprensión total. Este libro provocador ofrece un análisis único, fundamental para comprender el presente y el futuro de la relación entre Estados Unidos y Europa.
