Perrett, a tank expert, here covers the history of armored warfare through examination of significant battles, from World War I through Desert Sabre (Gulf War). He has avoided some battles which have been written about to the point of redundancy elsewhere, concentrating on the evolution of equipment and tactics and always keeping in mind the experience of the men inside the tank. The result is a happy conjuction of technical expertise and action narrative which is informative and a pleasure to read.
Highly recommended for the general reader of military history, and especially for students of armored warfare.

Great book for beginners or on going Kwanzaa observers. Informative and clear on the seven principal days, symbols, recipes and sewing instructions to make your own African outfits. An valuable and creative resource book. A perfect storyteller resource book as well.

Illustrations by James Cook (my husband) are terrific

This is a very cute book about a beloved Scottish terrier, Tammie. Tammie does not take well to being left out of the family's adventures, so he tags along whenever possible. The illustrations are quite charming, with Tammie winning your heart when he looks sad at being sent back home. This book was first published in 1935, so that age is preserved in the illustrations.

This is a good read along book, especially the tag line which children will come to expect. It's a warm comforting story from another time when the world seemed much smaller and gentler. I advise this book for anyone who likes Scotty dogs (and _who_ doesn't?) or those with children still young enough to want a bedtime story read by an adult.

This guide is awesome. It adds a whole new dimension to this underrated game. It is actually a full-fledged and challenging game with all the added information. Every character has an expanded background history and ALL of their moves are explained and displayed in great detail. Also tips on how to play the characters and what strategy to use against the other characters. I love the book and and have more appeciation for this pretty cool game.

This is the most concise and comprehensive description and explaination of modern karate rules to date (WUKO rules). The book covers aspects of karate evolution, types of competition, different events and an in depth run down on rules, signals and terminology. The book is brought to life by clear and useful illustrations and photographs. This book is not only a useful reference for competitors, judges, referees and spectators but is also covers more traditional facets of karate-do such as etiquette and convention. 'Karate Rules' is as brilliant as past titles by the author.

I know that there is infinity of books that contribute teachings to the nowadays managers. But Peter Senge in The Fifth Discipline goals offering a lot of different forms of approaching the problems, many different forms of thinking solutions, especially today, when managers should make decisions with very little time and very little information of the environment... or who has time today of reading all day's newspaper, know changes day by day in the market? Senge helps to invent every moment analysis tools, to synergy the company and all its members in that search, and those book is without doubts a pleasant reading for the bussinessman and woman.

Every Canadian should read this book! Many of Dr. Schwartz's ideas from this book have come to fruition. The Supreme Court of Canada's ruling on unilateral separation is consistent with Dr. Schwartz's view of the Canadian constitution, and the government briefly took some of the tough stances (defining the referendum question, etc.) he advocates in this book. Lamentably, the government still has not taken the full clear stance of Dr. Schwartz. He advocates the federal government taking a firm line against Quebec separation and draws out the remarkable parallels between Canada's current situation and the situation of the pre civil war United States. In the course of this book Dr. Schwartz DESTROYS any credibility or moral stance Quebec separatists may ever claim to have.
As the title suggests, Canada does have much to learn from Lincoln. In the face of similar problems Lincoln knew what to do whereas our Canadian leaders have been gutless and clueless in dealing with Quebec.
I also highly recommend this book to Americans. It is a great way to become familiar with your closest neighbour's most serious problem. This book can teach Americans what the problem is and educate them about how to react if separation ever rears its ugly head in such a way that the United States can no longer ignore it.

I never played the original game for the Super Nintendo but, I picked up this game very quickly. I beat this game once without the guide and after I looked in the guide at a store I decided it was worth it for all the extra's I may have missed. With the help from this guides step-by-step fashion I beat this game a second time with a hundred percent completion. It was the greatest feelling ever to know that you had all of the items and heart pieces that the original game designers had put in there, hoping a few selected people would find all of them. This guide also has the multiplayer Four Swords guide but, I haven't looked at that yet. This guide is a worthwhile investment for any Zelda fan. It is a huge commitment to beat a very long game, such as this one, because it really tests your patience level. Patience is required just to beat it without one hundred percent, this guide is for those perfectionists who can't leave a game unbeaten. Bryan Stratton did a very good job on this guide. Best guide I have ever played from and believe me I have played among many confusing guides and this one was well laid out compared to some.
