Well balanced, insightful review.

The DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM campaigns are widely touted as the defining moments of the development in air power; the results exemplified the lessons laid down by the prime architect of US air power, Gen. Henry H. 'Hap' Arnold. Every lesson ever learned was condensed and incorporated into these two tremendous efforts. "Revolution in Warfare?" details the incredible efforts planners made to send hundreds of aircraft into a combat zone to destroy the massive and highly complex Iraqi military - all from the air. Phased targeting strategies, sortie rates, target lists, kill rates, munitions expenditures, counter-SCUD ops, enemy chokepoints, and support efforts - all the chronological and statistical information needed to comprehend the complexity and sheer magnitude described as the largest aerial campaign ever assembled. A great read - especially for those of us who were there loading the weapons - and never realized the extent to which Gen. 'Chuck' Horner's planners went to conserve and protect the lives of all aviators.

The Rio Grande River (Great River) is the third longest river in the United States that divides Mexico and the US. Peter Lourie travels the entire river from it's headwaters in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado to the Gulf of Mexico. This is a wonderful account of his travels on this grand river. The history, rich land and people of the Rio Grande are captured in the detailed and colorful photographs. Each region that the Rio Grande travels through is unique and beautiful. I admire Peter Lourie because he is very respectful of the people and the delicate land of the Rio Grande. He did a wonderful job in illustrating the beauty and importance of this remarkable river. I absolutely enjoyed this book because the Rio Grande is very close to home!

This book is wonderful. It is full of heart, adventure, real life, and history. "The Rising Storm" is somewhat based on the real life tale of the author's experiences in the Gulf War--the story of a medical doctor in the military. He brings characters from all different backgrounds and types together to create this wonderful story. Read and enjoy!!

You can almost hear the water hitting the rocks of the Caney Fork River as you look at the photography of Howard Baker and John Netherton. The seasons may change but the canyon walls stand guard over this beautiful 10000 wilderness area on the Cumberland Plateau near Chattanooga, Tenn. Profits from the sale of the book go to the Bridgestone/Firestone Centenial Trust for maintenance of the area.

A marvelous insight into John Steinbeck and his mentor/pal, Ed Ricketts ("Doc" of Cannery Row fame.). Their obvious affection and respect for the other threads throughout the text. Contains wonderful lines such as," ...in six weeks in Baja, we collected about 3000 specimens of beer.", and of course there is the Hansen Sea Cow. Their musings about a world going crazy (Hitler is on the rise in Europe during the time of the voyage) are superb. The science and biology at the back of the volume is just the icing on a most delectable cake.

This is a comprehensive history of the development of Cape Coral, Florida, as well as the company that developed it, Gulf American Corporation. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Cape Coral's early years (1950s thru 1970s).
