This book is some sort of childrens/philosophy cartoon book and is by no means about real estate development.

I bought this book because I thought it would contain information about Cletrac tractors. From the title you would think so. I was very disapointed to find that there were only two pictures of one Cletrac tractor (Actually an Oliver as the tractor pictured was made after the oliver take over) There was only one page of text (of the most superficial sort). From my point of view this purchess was a total loss. The book title is not at all representative of its content, at least as far as Cletrac tractors are conscerned

Buyer beware! If, like me, you have an interest in thedevelopment of the detective story around the world, but your commandof the various languages required, from German to Japanese is limited, please be aware that close to half this book is in (untranslated) Spanish! Not only that: each quote is labelled with a number eg quote 996 (appearing on page 19!) that is thennever followed up ANYWHERE in the ensuing pages. This should have been a fascinating book. Not only does the fiction discussed have intrinsic value but as much of the book concerns the period in Spanish history as the country moved from dictatorship to democracy, it should have given valuable insights into a crucial period. It probably still does (which is why I haven't sent it back). A valuable opportunity tragically missed.

A British-born Australian immigrant publishes his results about gay immigration to Australia. Gay immigration is a very urgent issue and I'm glad the matter is being documented. But this book left me so sad and dissatisfied. On the one hand, activists globally can learn from Austalia's example. This book starts with a decent chapter on the history of gay Australian immigration. This was also a longitudinal study: something you rarely find in sexual orientation-related research. However, the book is very sloppily-written. It reads like a scrapbook or diary. So many of his discussions are internal and unimportant. There's no way an American scholar could get tenure with a book like this. Usually, I praise gay male authors that remember to include lesbians in their research. But the lesbians involved in the study get scant mention and thus become negligible. Like studies of gay Asians in white-dominated countries throughout the world, this text is filled with cute, young Asian guys having no choice but to partner with size-, age-, and looks-challenged white mates. This book will kinda rub the younger non-Eurocentric gay men of color the wrong way. You would think that binational gay couples have risked thick and thin to be together. In this book, the Australian officials encourage gay couples to cheat on their applications and all kinds of pairs that have no intention of staying together apply for couple status. Most every respondent said the immigration controversy is affecting their health negatively. Further, the author says things about his long-term partner that no spouse should say about another in print. There's no bigamy allowed in Australia for straight citizens, yet the author is not fazed in the least to apply for immigration status for his Thai extra lover. Worse, he gets mad when he finds that his Thai lover is cheating but never criticizes himself for cheating on his first lover with the Thai national. Bottom line: America is so far away from enacting gay immigration (which is a shame) and this book will do NOTHING to help that goal happen, as poor and tragic as this work is.

The title of this book, survivors of suicide, is extremely misleading. Having recently lost a sister to suicide, I bought this book to try to find some answers and/or support. Instead, reading this book made me feel more guilty and horrible then ever. A couple chapters are devoted to stories and stuff about survivors, but the majority of the book is about who is prone to suicide, how to prevent it, myths (i.e. don't ignore suicide threats)...I finished the book feeling that I was at fault for my sister's suicide. I would recommend that NO suicide survivors read this book.
