This book gives a very nice overview of the M37. Includes history, production numbers, pictures etc. Many how-to type chapters. The book is at times a little short on detail, especially those little items that make a restoration complete. Not really a book written by an expert, but almost a journal of David Ahl's restoration of his own truck. Many of the chapters appear to be simple reprints of articles out of military vehicle magazine. Included are some general tips for those new to vehicle restoration. Importantly the book includes nearly 40 pages of exploded parts diagrams and a chart on lubrication order. These alone are probably worth the price of the book. Overall, a good book at a fair price.

David Ahl, one-time owner and publisher of Military Vehicles Magazine wrote this book It will be regarded as "The" book on the subject for years to come. Covering everything from the history and variations of the venerable Dodge M37 to restoration, modification, and maintenance of these trucks, this book is an excellent value for the money.
The foundation of Dodge M37 Restoration Guide is the compilation of various M37-related articles from the pages of Miltary Vehicles Magazine. But it doesn't end there. 19 pages reproduce several rare, U.S. Army M37 references, including a little-known Modification Work Order for reinforcing the tailgates of all M37 vehicles. In addition, the author has added 40 more pages comprising some of the best parts diagrams available from original Department of the Army Supply Manuals. These pages alone guarantee that this is a book that will get dirty in your garage. Thankfully, it is inexpensive enough to allow most to have a copy in the library as well as a garage copy.
Whether you own an M37, M42, M43, M37B1, or are considering the purchase of one, or simply love the brute-like characteristics of Dodge military trucks, this book will fill an important gap in your library. As with any specialty vehicle book, the print run on this book was probably on the small side, so don't put this one off until later. Buy it today!

This is a good book for a classic collection, gives a good history of Dodge trucks, from Dodge Brothers to now. This is not a technical book by any means, and could use some more photos for reference. Gives some information on production numbers and options, but not in detail.

Like most books from Motorsport International this one has an abundance of professionally executed color photos that are reproduced well. Many black and white publicity photos from the manufacturer too. I especially liked the chapter on the Dodge Power Wagons. This book is also reasonably priced. If you collect Dodge trucks and don't already own this book but it now.

This was an honest book - and a quick, easy read.It had a lot of information - and opinions which I have to admit I agreed with!

If you really want to get a good idea of what makes these guys tick, buy this book. I laughed myself silly with Ms. Dodge's sense of humor. Enjoyed it immensely.

Im pleased with this truck manual. It contains most maintenance and repair procedures an average person can do with average tools. It supports gasoline and diesel engines and has wiring diagrams for all the systems. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to save money by doing their own simple repairs.

The Haynes Full Size Dodge Pickup Repair and Service Manual is a comprehensive guide for working on Dodge Pickups.It contains all you need to know about Servicing and Repairing Dodge Pickups.

I am seeking another copy of this book, which has disappeared from my bookshelves. My kids and I had fun using this book for a parlor-game, where guests could look up the derivation and meaning of their given names. Whether or not the personality characteristics truly applied, people always had fun, and, as with dealing with such subjective things as horoscopes, always took away with them something to think about with respect to personal qualities and characteristics.

I have used this book throughout the years as an incite into the personalities of friends, co-workers, and family. Not only has it been fun, but accurate as well.

The book's strong points are its detailed maps and illustrations,but it suffers from an unconvincing analysis of Alexander's motives,plans and their results.Dodge has a tendency to take many things at face value and is a modern day victim of Alexander's own propaganda campaign.this is clearly seen in Dodge's failure to implicate Alexander in the assassination of his father Phillip despite overwhelming evidence,his lack of understanding of Alexander's long political struggle against Parmenio's clan for dominance over the army[motive enough for their eventual purge] and of Alexander's shaky relations with the subjugated Greek citystates.Even Dodge's analysis of the key battles of Granicus and Chaeronaea and the siege of Thebes are suspect.As for the most readable part of the book, the narrative of Alexander's conquest,credit is better given to Arrian's primary text.For a far more interesting and convincing look into a man as brilliant and complex as Alexander I would reccomend Peter Green's 'Alexander of Macedon', Fuller's 'Generalship of Alexander ' and Arrian's 'Campaigns of Alexander'.

Here Mr. Dodge has broken down Alexander into the general that all can understand. I myself have been to Granicus, Issus, Tyre, and Gugamela I consider myself luck to see where Alexander won great victories and Mr Dodge show how these battles unfolded and how Alexander exploited the Persians at every battle they met.' Shows Darius as he really was, a coward and no true leader. Alexander is complex but very shallow in according to Mr. Dodge To the average reader I reccommed this book. To the avid historian and military historiand I recommed J.F.C. Fuller's The Generalship of Alexander the Great. Required reading at West Point and Command and General Staff School Thank You Dennis E. Medick

In an admirable work,Theodore Dodge,a soldier for the Union Army during the American Civil War,narrates in detail the campaigns & exploits of who is perhaps the greatest soldier & general of all time.Highlighting Alexander's strong points,& his weaknesses,one cant help but admire & be overwhelmed by the amount of information Dodge offers for the reader.Illustrations & maps help & illustrate for the readers information & pleasure.As the previous reviewer pointedly said,this book is not so much about the personal or political life of Alexander,but his military one.Any criticisms lodged at the book concerning the former would be faulty,to say the least.The only flaws of this book are the less than detailed maps showing the battles movements,& the authors perhaps all too glowing praise for the subject.But since Dodge was a soldier,he most likely knew more than what a common layman does.Comprehensive,exhaustive,detailed,& admirably contemporary,Dodge's work is an admirable effort for military students & readers alike.

The book Survival! Titanic was unfortunately very predictable. Usually in books and movies about the Titanic, there are two characters who meet on the ship. When they are becoming good friends, the ship sinks. This is exactly what happens in the book. Karolina and Gavin meet on the Titanic and become good friends. Then all of a sudden, the ship hits the iceberg. Their treacherous journey for survival is rough, and when Karolina needs help, Gavin risks his life to help her. Although the book was about the two characters, I felt that it did tell how people really felt when the ship was sinking, and it was discriptive. Read the book to find out who lives, who dies, and the story. I would recommend this book for 8-11 year olds who like reading about the Titanic or historical-fiction.

I recommend this book to kids aged 10-15 because it's a book about history and about surviving a shipwreck. This book has good excitement and suspense, you don't know if Karolina or Gavin will make it alive. This book can help kids in a lot of different situations; such as a social studies test about when the TITANIC sank, also this could actually save kids lives if they are really on a sinking ship. What if you loved your aunt so much that if a ship was about to sink that you could save your self-including your aunt. Karolina and Gavin saved a lot of peoples lives by telling people to "get to a life boat immediately". This book is a good thriller and I suggest you read it!

After her parents die in England, Karolina's aunt comes to take her home to America. Although she misses her parents terribly, she has resigned herself to the fact that they are never coming back, and she tries to enjoy the trip home on the Titanic, sad as she is. Gavin, who is twelve like Karolina, is earning his passage to America by working in the Titanic's galley. He misses his family back home in Ireland but is eager to join his older brother in New York. Gavin and Karolina meet by chance one night and become friends. On the night the ship sinks, they are thrown together, fighting to survive the terrible disaster. I reccomend this book if you like survival stories or books about the Titanic or shipwrecks.

With a book like this, many readers cheat themselves by assuming that they already know what it's about, because they heard the outline of the story before, and therefore they have no need to really read it. A lot like the way some people treat the Bible, or at least large parts of the Bible. Anyway, I recently re-read this book to one of my daughters, and can report that upon close consideration, this book is really a retrospective Calvinistic explanation for how old Dr. Boekman finds a successor for his surgical practice, following Dr. Boekman's disappointment in his only son, who never liked medicine and who in fact found a reason to run away from Holland to resettle in England to pursue a business career. The rich descriptions of Dutch history and culture form the context for this drama.

Consequently, Dr. Boekman's whole outlook on life, exemplified by his perpetual frown, descends into depression as he humorlessly goes about his surgical practice, all the while increasing his fame which radiates from Amsterdam far out into the provinces, symbolized by the transportation and communication pathway of the frozen canals, over which all ages and classes of people happily skate through what used to be extremely cold winter months in Holland. These canals have not frozen solid on a regular basis for many decades.

These frozen canals in turn exemplify Dr. Boekman's frozen heart, which ultimately gets melted as a result of the importuning of Raff Brinker's son, young Hans, who cajoles old Dr. Boekman into taking a look at old Raff, who has been an invalid since suffering a closed head trauma while working out on the dikes during a fierce storm.

Dr. Boekman ends up surgically unblocking the "brainfreeze" suffered by Raff Brinker, who comes back to life "talking like an Amsterdam lawyer" which is a complete turn around from his invalid state where he appeared to be a distant, angry, barely controllable hulk crouching in his house by the fire, and casting a gloom of social obloquy which tainted not only his children, but his very cottage, in the eyes of most of the other respectable members of Dutch society, as they skated by on their local frozen canal.

By the end of the book, the connection achieved by Hans Brinker between his remote father and the remote surgeon seems to have spread, or networked, and young Hans is a rising surgeon practicing with Dr. Boekman, and happily married, while Dr. Boekman's biological son returns, or is redeemed back from England to practice a bustling business trade also in Amsterdam. The silver skates and the races on the canals are mainly a way for Hans to prove something to himself, that he can set his mind to what he wishes to achieve, and against all odds achieve it. The fact that all of this works to bring reconciliation and happiness back into people who are disconnected and frozen, rather than constituting a sappy, Dickensian series of unlikely coincidences, instead creates more of an echo of predestination than merely a "happy ending."

But then again, this is only one explanation of what we have here in this classic book.

I thought it was a wounderful story for the whole family to read.

Is this the greatest book ever? Maybe, maybe not. Shakespeare had some good ones. Either way, this merits the five stars I've given it. Delve into one of the greatest stories ever told, and learn all about Holland. By the time you're done, you'll want to go ice skating.

So strap on your wooden skates and squeek across the ice of Ole Holland. Who gets the silver skates? Who is the greatest hero? Is hidden fortune just under the peat moss?

Dat hangt er van af . . .

This book is an excellent in terms of preparing you for the SAT II math. The only thing is that you must know going into taking the practice tests that they are MUCH harder than the real thing. I took most of the practice tests and my scores ranged from 650-740. When I took the real test, however, i found it much easier and got an 800. This book helps because you become so used to the harder tests that the real thing is simple. If you don't realize that going in though, you will be very frustrated.

There are both good points and bad points about the 6th Edition of Barron's math IIc. Although the book itself is comprehensive, and contains all the information you need to know, (sometimes even more than you have to know), there are a few errors in the book. The diagnostic test is as difficult as the first model test. However, as you sit each model test, you will find it harder to increase your score. This is because the model tests become more difficult. e.g) Model Test 3 is harder than 2, and so on.
I received a mark of 800 in the SAT IIc, however in the model tests I usually received a mark of 730-760. (I converted my mark using the real SAT II book by collegeboard) So don't worry if you are getting 750 in the model tests, because in the real one, you will probably get 800. Although answers of every question are explained, due to some minor errors, and the poor layout in the book, I give a rating of 4 out of 5.

This book is an excellent guide to the SAT II Math level IIC. It thoroughly reviews everything that could possibly appear on the actual test. However the practice tests (9!) included do NOT in anyway represent the difficulty of the actual test. They are far harder. Rather than face the frustration of taking them in an hour like I did, I suggest you simply work through them as quickly as possible which should take u approx 1 1/2 hours if you want to finish the real test. I studied this way and although i didnt finish the test (left 7 problems out), got a 770. I'm going to retake the test in June and hope to get an 800. This book will help me and anyone who wants to achieve that goal.

This starts off promisingly as a weird road tale full of rock 'n roll and stoned philosophy. A little over halfway through, though, the story just loses momentum and gets as lost as the protagonist, George Gastin, does in the end. I found myself finishing it with a feeling of, "yeah, and the punchline is.....? " It's entertaining enough to read, but there's no payoff when you put the book down.

I couldn't put this one down until it was over - a wild, nostalgic ride back over familiar territory - the characters are vibrant and sometimes brilliant - I was inspired to start my own Buddy Holly novel - still in the works! One of the few books that I have read more than twice!

Wow! I picked up Not Fade Away in a book store for a dollar, not knowing that I had found such a gem. This story was told exceptionally well, crazy, hilarious, and down right odd - I think this book should be read in schools! Put a little free spirit in your life and buy this book!
