Baker takes a religious point of view to the events of the past 200 years and in doing so sheds light on the moral inconsistencies of our present world and reveals what he has learned over the years about what is happening to us. His evaluation of events in the US during the last 50 years is quite insightful.

Detail is excellent and overall the book is accurate and consistent with other references on this subject with only minor exceptions when Baker refers mater-of-factly to events in Germany during WW2 of which he obviously has no first hand knowledge and is grossly misinformed.

The strongest part of the book is Section II - The Adversary wherein Baker goes into detail about those behind the "New World Order" and it's secret agenda.

The weakest part of the book is the Section IV - The Final Move - Cheque Mate wherein Bakers conclusions carry an overt religious message and can not be taken literally.

Sir Richard Burton--master explorer, linguist, and scholar. He is known as the man who brought the Arabian Nights to the English speaking world, and is credited with being partially responsible for the discovery of the source of the Nile. He infiltrated the sacred cities of Medina and Mecca, disguised as an Arab.
So what prompted him to go to Salt Lake City? Burton was at a very difficult stage of his life, and needed a sort of vacation. Plus, according to him, he wanted to "see the Mormons." Some say he was interested in seeing their system of polygamy firsthand, some that he loved to visit sacred cities (having been to Mecca, Medina, Harar, and Damascus). Whatever the reason, he fortunately documented his trip, and we are left with this wonderful look, from an outsider, at "The City of the Saints."
One of the things that makes Burton so great is his absolute objectivity. His account of his visit among the Mormons is no exception. He went, he saw the facts, and he formed his opinions, just as everyone else. What set him apart, though, was that he managed to recount his adventure without the taint of his own bias.
Another great quality of Burton's was his incomparable eye for detail. He noticed everything, and took great pains to discover the history of everything he encountered. The result is a wonderfully rich account full of history and culture that Burton gives us as no other man could.
This is considered to be one of Burton's best books, though it is little known. It is by far the best non-Mormon account of early Salt Lake City that I've ever encountered. Its only flaw is that it is a little drawn out in places, but for the most part, this is a wonderfully detailed account and well worth the read.

This book is great. I really enjoyed baking the recipes. They are easy to follow steps. Weither you never baked before to the experianced baker.

the book communicates the know how of enhancing sexual enjoyment and handling situations in life in a very suttley humourous way. i sincerely feel that its a wonderful book for the couples to read, i would even say study, together. why did become out of print. I am shocked and surprised!! laxmi

This book is perfect for poolside. Light and enjoyable.
I liked the parts about Turkish man too.

I don't know why I got this book, maybe the title grabbed my attention. I thought it would be interesting to read about life as a stewardess back in the 60's, when it was so glamorous. The book is choc full of anecdotes (sp?) about passengers and captains. I've really enjoyed reading about Trudy and Rachel's escapades, especially the chapter about their "basic training" like stewardess school. I haven't finished the book, but I am about 80% through it. I pick it up every once in awhile and read a chapter here and there. It's not like a novel in that I want to read the entire thing to see what happens. Overall I recommend it with 4 stars, I've gotten quite a lot of enjoyment in reading it and find it to be well worth the money spent.

This book is extremely useful, both for practicioners and in cytology labs. It has a lot of pictures which were a real asset when looking at cytology slides. There was also some text provided which was also useful when looking at slides.

Crouch and Brice have done a creditable job in their biography of Cullen Baker, noted opponent of the reconstructing authorities in post Civil War Texas and Arkansas and probably America's first real gunfighter. In a complete revision of Ed Bartholomew's 1954 book, which presented Baker as a hero who opposed Yankee occupation, a "social bandit," as it were, Crouch and Brice present Baker as more of a "public monster," a wartime coward and deserter with a big psychological problem, who went around shooting innocent people after the South lost the war. As usual, the truth lies somewhere in between, depending on one's own view as to what Reconstruction means. But the Crouch and Brice book is easy to read, and ably gathers all that has been said about Baker over the years conveniently under one cover. Most surprizing is the volume's measured tone in handling historians with different viewpoints, something Crouch has never been noted for previously. Maybe he has mellowed with time or perhaps that is Brice's contribution to the volume. One wonders, however, if Reconstruction was as successful as Crouch and Brice seem to think, why has America had to go through the whole process again during the past forty years? Maybe Ed Bartholomew was on to something. In any case, it is a well-done piece of research and writing, suitable for all readers interested in the West and South during and after the Civil War.

This lavishly illustrated biography of David Gilhooly follows his career from his student years, doing ceramic sculpture at the University of California-Davis where "Nut Art," later called "funk," emerged in the 1960's, through to the early 1990's, when he established his own press and print studio. Among the illustrations are works by artists with whom Gilhooly has been associated, including Robert Arneson and Wayne Theibaud.
