What One Would Expect and What One Would Like to See.......2007-04-09

The authors have made this just the book that most of us expect and would like to see. The first 227 pages cover the uniforms worn during the Civil War. These pages are subdivided between uniforms worn by Federal soldiers and Confederate soldiers. Each subdivision is preceded by an overview which includes headgear, insignia, and basic equipment.

Next come 184 pages on arms and munitions. This includes the usual surveys of hand weapons and artillery but also includes information on supply trains, etc. The breadth of the authors may be seen in the inclusion of a rocket launcher among Union artillery pieces or a Vandenburgh volley gun among Confederate artillery. (This volley gun looks somewhat like a Gattling gun but with about 85 barrels.)

This gun has an interesting history. Origen Vandenburgh was a general in the New York State militia. When he failed to sell his gun to the United States, he went to England where production was begun. But Vandenburgh failed to sell the gun to the British. Somehow, whether Vandenburgh knew it or not, a copy of the gun was sold to the Confederates. Each 12.7mm barrel had to be loaded between volleys that were fired simultaneously.

The last 140 or so pages contain naval uniforms, weapons, and artifacts, flags, and miscellaneous artifacts including prisoner of war handcrafts and telegraphic equipment.

Not any book can contain all the information that one might like to have. This book lacks any discussion of naval vessels in order to concentrate on other topics. Personally I would like to have seen an index at the end of the book to help me out. But no book has it all, and I can get by with the clear chapter headings that are used.

I did have a concern about a possible bias on the part of the authors. Confederate General Beauregard was chastized by the authors for his flamboyant dress. "It is a sad reflection" that he and some other Confederate officers "worried so much about their own clothing ... when their soldiers had barely enoughclothing to cover themselves with, nor shoes to walk in." I know of no other valid criticism by a Confederate soldier of Maj Gen PGT Beauregard. Is it because his soldiers found inspiration in his flambouyant uniform just as Custer's did?

Uniforms were confusing and changed during the Civil War. Northern zouave units and Southern zouave units would be indiscernable just as much today as they were during the Civil War. Some uniforms changed due to the need for conformity and some due to economic reasons. Ulysses Grant cared little for the formality of dress. Robert E Lee dressed as a Confederate colonel.

What one would expect from an illustrated directory is plenty of good information. What one would like to see is all that information as carefully organized as it is.

Excellent Refence for the Civil War Student!.......2004-06-25

The book is an excellence reference for anyone who wants to know more about how the North and South were armed and dressed during the war.

Included are color pictures of the following items from North and South: infantry/calvary/artillery uniforms, weapons (rifles, swords, pistols), flags, naval artifacts, ammunition, and other items.

The book also includes several attractive drawings of figures representing particular units.

Whatever your interest in the Civil War, I highly recommend the title as an excellent source of valuable information.

Read and enjoy!

Overall, pretty good........2003-05-29

This is a great reference book. The pictures are excelent. Great overview of the uniforms, accoutrements, weapons, and such of the different armies throughout the war. I especially liked the individual Regiment pages with illustrations showing what a soldier might have looked like in a given regiment.

Book Description

From the pyramids to mortality tables, Galileo to Florence Nightingale, a vibrant history of numbers and the birth of statistics. "Brief, lively, and highly entertaining."—William Grimes, New York Times

The great historian of science I. B. Cohen explores how numbers have come to assume a leading role in science, in the operations and structure of government, in marketing, and in many other aspects of daily life. Consulting and collecting numbers has been a feature of human affairs since antiquity—taxes, head counts for military service—but not until the Scientific Revolution in the twelfth century did social numbers such as births, deaths, and marriages begin to be analyzed. Cohen shines a new light on familiar figures such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Charles Dickens; and he reveals Florence Nightingale to be a passionate statistician. Cohen has left us with an engaging and accessible history of numbers, an appreciation of the essential nature of statistics.

Interesting as a first draft.......2007-06-23

After reading this book, I surmised what another reviewer has confirmed - that I. B. Cohen passed away before he had time to complete this book. It has the feel of notes toward a book - as evidenced by the rather simplistic charts of numbers that really do nothing to illustrate the narrative. That being said, there are some interesting anecdotes about historical figures and their obsessions with numbers, including but not limited to: Napoleon, Galileo, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and a very good chapter on Adolphe Quetelet. This is a short book, written in a clear style, if not as developed as one would expect.

Still a book that I would recommend to readers interested in the modern (although not contemporary) history of the role of numbers in society.

Compelling.......2006-09-08

A compelling review of how counting has created history and changed our lives for the better."

A book about the people who were all about the numbers.......2006-02-03

This is a book about statistics and economics, without the statistics and economics. Cohen explains not just what a census is, or why someone started them, but how people came to realize that census data could be useful in the first place. That's the unique feature of this book - much like the question of who was the first guy to look at a lobster and wonder, is this thing edible?, we find out who was the first guy to look at a register of town deaths and think, "you know, we could tell something about the population of this city from this data!" The book is not about statistics; it's the stories of the people who first came to realize that numbers could be used to improve society rather than just to collect taxes from the populace.

I really enjoyed the anecdotes about the various numerical interests of famous people. For example, Thomas Jefferson's obsessive recording of numbers. Did you know that Jefferson calculated that to keep the populace and the politics of a country in good shape, there should be a minor revolution every 19 years?

Even more did I enjoy reading about Benjamin Franklin's fascination with magic squares. When Franklin was serving as clerk in the Pennsylvania Legislature, he frequently got bored to pieces and solved and designed magic squares. I liked this because when I'm at boring meetings, I hide pages torn from logic puzzle magazines in my notepad, and spend time doing them, and it looks as though I'm diligently taking notes; it is nice to learn that I am following in the footsteps of a master.

Later chapters come back to the part that population counts and demographics played in the founding of the USA, such as examples that a nineteenth century sociologist found of deliberate misuse of population numbers by the Americans in an effort to deceive the British.

As others have noted, the final chapter is about Florence Nightingale. Cohen emphasizes Nightingale's reform of the previously almost-nonexistent record-keeping in hopitals in the Crimea, and how she used this data to show that far more soldiers died of disease than of the wounds that initially brought them to hospitals. The illustration showing Nightingale's diagrams of the causes of death in the British army is neat - the diagrams are essentially pie charts, and when I was teaching quantitative software applications to college undergrads, I would have been quite pleased if they had produced charts this cogent. Nightingale considered this graphic representation of numbers, still a novelty at the time, so important that she had copies of the diagrams framed and sent to government officials, in order to keep the issues before their eyes.

If one expects a book about the development of statistics, then this book would be a disappointment; if one wants the stories of the people who first thought to put the early science of statistics to use for the improvement of society as a whole, then this is exactly what you are looking for. Although it's a bit dry for a popular book, and a bit scattered for an academic book, it is interesting enough to hold the attention of readers who want to know more about how we got the sciences of demographics and sociology, or anyone who ever wondered how insurance companies came to have all those actuarial tables. Among others who might enjoy the book would be young women in high school or college who are considering entering the social sciences; they will find the inclusion of Nightingale inspiring.

Sometimes Fascinating, Often Frustrating, Poorly Organized.......2005-06-11

This posthumously published book was finished only days before his death by I. Bernard Cohen, the founder of the Harvard Department of the History of Science. One has the sense that had he had more time to work on it it might have been better organized and more tightly focused. Although there are many fascinating facts and anecdotes in this short outline of the effects of numbers on modern life and the development of their use over the centuries, there are many divagations that don't add much to the story. When he takes time to correct the French in someone's book title, one wonders why he wastes space on that when he doesn't make it clear why he was citing the book in the first place. Still we meet such well-known characters as Kepler and Galileo, Jefferson and Franklin, and lesser known but fascinating thinkers like André Michel Guerry and Adolphe Quetelet who advanced the science of statistics and applied it to such sociological concerns as crime and punishment. We meet statistical Luddites like Dickens, who thought the collection of demographic data would be used against the average man. We finish with a weak chapter about Florence Nightingale's use of statistics in the medical realm. We do not venture on into the twentieth century.

This is a variably interesting but ultimately not very useful essay, I'm afraid. It is notable for its quirkily amusing anecdotes, but rather falls down when it attempts to convey the important uses to which numbers are put in modern life.

Scott Morrison

Interesting History on Use of Numbers.......2005-05-02

This short book discusses the history of the use of numbers to describe the world. The author starts off with a discussion on how numbers began to be used to describe physical items. Eventually, the discussion focuses mainly on the evolution of the use of numbers in the social sciences - hence, the birth of statistics. The book contains some fascinating information on how social statistics evolved, with an entire chapter devoted to Florence Nightingale. It should be emphasized that the focus is mainly on how numbers came to be used and not necessarily on the actual results obtained; thus, if the reader is expecting to see a discussion of the results, he or she may be disappointed at times. But this is a minor shortcoming. The book is well-written and clear. The author (deceased prior to the book's publication) was a well-seasoned expert on the history of science with a good number of publications to his credit.

Book Description

Ernst Doud is a middle-aged 154-year-old nonhuman painter living quietly in Los Angeles when he receives a cryptic letter from a lover he last saw in 1913, precisely at the moment he killed him-or so he had always thought. So begins M. Christian's debut novel, as unlike any book you have read as Doud is unlike any hero who has ever graced the pages of a novel. Set in contemporary Los Angeles, with excursions into the surreal outback of Southern California's high desert, Running Dry is a stunningly realized story of vengeance, loyalty, and the inescapable humanity of the inhuman.

M. Christian's short stories have been collected in the books Dirty Words, Speaking Parts, and The Bachelor Machine.

Customer Reviews:

(yawn).......2006-12-12

This book belongs to my very personal category of books I absolutely do not like without being able to point out what exactly is wrong in them.

The plot is simple and straightforward, characterization consistent, the writing more than average, but as one page followed the other, I could never get involved, I could not relate with any character, I never suspended disbelief.

Reading it was like listening to an old neighbour, a story not necessarily dull but pale because it does not really concern you.
The story entirely lacks not only eroticism but even sensuality (do not be fooled by the nice cover, it has nothing to do with the content), which is quite rare in this subgenre.
There is of course this continuos, everyday, a bit annoying ordinary pain about being forced to kill to survive.

All in all it is a story as unappealing as the biological kind of vampirism described.

Rather Unusual.......2006-01-26

This book goes beyond typical gay vampiric novels and short stories. Doud, the protagonist is ...is...well.... he's a vampire..but...not exactly...and he has a conscience, as well as a past. He was/is an artist. His artwork served as a memorial to his victims, and the medium of expression was their blood. This book is somewhat bizarre, but it is quick reading. The writing was not terribly crisp and at times overstated Doud's angst as a "killer", but it still is a satisfying, if not gratifying read.

Fans of Augusten Burroughs's darkly funny memoir Running with Scissors were left wondering at the end of that book what would become of young Augusten after his squalid and fascinating childhood ended. In Dry, we find that although adult Augusten is doing well professionally, earning a handsome living as an ad writer for a top New York agency, Burroughs's personal life is a disaster. His apartment is a sea of empty Dewar's bottles, he stays out all night boozing, and he dabs cologne on his tongue in an unsuccessful attempt to mask the stench of alcohol on his breath at work. When his employer insists he seek help, Burroughs ships out to Minnesota for detoxification, counseling, and amusingly told anecdotes about the use of stuffed animals in group therapy. But after a month of such treatment, he's back in Manhattan and tenuously sober. And while its one thing to lay off the sauce in rehab, Burroughs learns that it's quite another to resume your former life while avoiding the alcohol that your former life was based around. This quest to remain sober is made dramatically more difficult, and the tale more harrowing, when Burroughs begins an ill-advised romance with a crack addict. Certainly the "recovered alcoholic fighting to stay sober" tale is not new territory for a memoirist. But Burroughs's account transcends clichés: it doesn't adhere to the traditional "temptation narrowly resisted" storyline and it features, in Burroughs himself, a central character that is sympathetic even when he's neither likable nor admirable. But what ultimately makes this memoir such a terrific read is a brilliant and candid sense of humor that manages to stay dry even when recalling events where the author was anything but. --John Moe

Book Description

With unconventional wit and a wonderfully weird way of looking at things, Augusten Burroughs chronicles his life on the edge after leaving his deeply eccentric foster family. Dry opens in Manhattan, where Augusten has established a life for himself as a high-paid advertising hotshot. But his past haunts him still as he tries to create a grown-up life. Dry is at times howlingly funny, devastatingly moving and, in the end, uplifting. It further establishes Burroughs as one of the most original authors writing today.

DRY.. I LOVE IT!.......2007-10-18

This book marks my first introduction to this writer. It was unbelievably candid, intoxicatingly haunting, and extraordinarily written. Augusten is a great story teller. He has a way of writing that makes you see it, and feel exactly what it must have been like. I am so glad I ordered this book and will definitely start a small collection of his books for my home library. this was a great read. kept me wanting more..

I walked a mile or two in his shoes.......2007-10-18

I ordered my copy of Dry: A Memoirthe day after I finished Running with Scissors: A Memoir. I'm hooked on Burroughs' writings as I have walked a few miles parallel to his. I applauded his success despite his denial, and in the book laughed and cried as he put to words some of my very own feelings when dealing with coworkers, clients, figures of authority, and even friends. But despite my stellar 5 star rating one simply cannot appreciate what I am saying without the experience of reading it yourself. Well done, quick and easy read, and it leaves me yearning for more of a peek in the window of his life. It appears he's overcome some serious obstacles and is doing just fine! As soon as I finish all his works, I'll be reading his Brother's book Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's and to plug one more work that I've added to my list of "yet to read and will" is Rockstarlet

Non-stop Craziness and Humor--Incredible!.......2007-09-20

Wow. How to write a review of this book...Augusten Burroughs' sense of humor and ability to take his life experiences and weave them into stories that are engaging, entertaining and at times a bit disturbing is absolutely incredible.

His style of writing and revealing of clips of his life endear the reader to him. I could not put down the book and I was truly sad when I read the very last word on the very last page. I wanted more of Augusten, I was hooked. I went out the next day and bought another one of his engaging pseudo-biographical book and devoured that in a day or two as well.

Augusten Burroughs has a gift and I am so very glad he chose the medium in which he did to share it with the world.

Augusten, if you are out there, I just want to say thank you for finding the motivation and determination to publish your stories. You are truly and inspiration and your words have touched me. Thank you.

Hilarious, horrifying, can't-put-it-down reading.......2007-09-16

This is a fantastic book, marvelously written, at once funny, bittersweet, terrifying and can't-put-it-down suspenseful. A memoir with the drama and emotional clutch of a novel. And written in a clean, clear, highly readable style that simply pulls you through the pages.

If you've read his earlier acclaimed memoir RUNNING WITH SCISSORS, then you know you have to find out what happened to that brilliant, warped boy after he survived his hellish loony-bin childhood and stumbled into adulthood. If you haven't read RUNNING WITH SCISSORS, feel free to start with this one -- it stands on its own. If you read DRY first, you'll run to grab RUNNING WITH SCISSORS. I greatly prefer DRY to SCISSORS, myself, and I thought that was a fine book.

DRY is that rare book that will save lives and bring great joy and insight into the lives of many people who read it. I came away loving Burroughs, and looking into my own life and wondering what I'm failing to do right and who I'm failing to love and appreciate. And being grateful to be alive.

But, hey, don't let that stop you. This is no tract. Trust me, it's huge fun and a great read.

Dry review.......2007-08-31

After having read Running with Scissors, which was recommended to me by a close friend, I became fairly obsessed with the work of Augusten Burroughs. The moment I had finished, I ran to the nearest bookstore to scour over all the other memoirs, novels, and collections of short stories that he had written. After reviewing a somewhat extensive selection of his books, I ended up selecting Dry, the sequel to Running with Scissors, to be my next endeavor. I felt a powerful need to pick up where his previous book had left off.
This book was morbidly humorous to the point where I had to stop reading it in public because I could not contain my spontaneous bursts of laughter. Augusten Burroughs' life has been so astounding that it almost makes the reader question his validity. He begins living on his own at the age of nineteen, having had no education past the seventh grade. However with the somewhat unnatural charm he possesses, he is able to walk into an advertising agency from off the street and talk his way into being hired on the spot. He soon becomes one of the agency's most valued advertising representatives with the worst substance abuse problem.
Augusten uses alcohol, cocaine, and crack to numb himself from the pain of his past and present. After falling into a state of squalor, which involved drinking two bottles of scotch a night and urinating repetitively in his bed, his friends decide to step in. Augusten is sent to a gay-friendly rehabilitation center where he is forced to deal with the unconventional upbringing that left him so unstable as well as the fight of a loved one against aids. After rehab Augusten must struggle to redefine his life in terms of sobriety and adapt to this drastic change. He gives a great effort to find a balance between work and leisure which excludes the stresses that caused him to turn to substances, while still dealing with certain issues that he cannot escape.
This book is utterly incredible. My only disappointment was that it had to end. Augusten Burroughs wrote this memoir to expose to his readers how bad life can get. He also intended to send the hopeful message that no matter how difficult things become, life can always get better. Dry shows the reader that no matter what their current situation may be, if they have the intrinsic motivation, they can always improve upon it. This memoir leaves the reader both motivated and comfortably optimistic. It is a tragic yet satisfying tale of a young mans life.
Burroughs has a natural gift for captivating the reader entirely by completely exposing himself. He is ashamed of nothing and embraces his flaws. He spares no details of when he hit rock bottom for it shows how far he had to come and how much of an accomplishment it was. Anyone who reads this is sure to fall instantaneously in love with the author for his wit, determination, and imperfections.
