I am not a fan of Osprey publications. There was a time when I would buy every Osprey Napoleonic title. This was until, when doing research in primary sources on my own, I found that many of these books, and their attendant art work, to be generally average at best, and sometimes not reliable at all.

I found the volume on Wellingtons Highlanders troops fascinating. The Highland recruited, developed, or thrown together to combat the swarms of very effective are meticulously listed in this volume and it gives a very good picture of the units that gradually developed into the 79th Cameron and effective 92nd Gordons and infantry regiments of the Wellingtons Army. What is also interesting is the varieties of both clothing and uniforms these varied corps wore (and there is a difference), being influnce by their culture(Scottish). It is a true menagerie for uniformologists.

I'm sure everyone is very familiar with the Men-at-Arms format, but I'll briefly review it for anyone not familiar with it. The Men-at-Arms series is a general, somewhat brief (limited to 48 pages) uniform history of famous units and/or armies in specific wars or campaigns. They are profusely illustrated with relevant illustrations of uniforms, as well as eight color plates of the subject in question by a contemporary military artist. The narrative describes the uniforms in detail, sometimes with a brief history of either the unit, personalities, or both. Additionally, the plates are explained and there is a necessarily brief note on sources. In the hands of an expert such as Stuart Reid, this can be a narrative overflowing with useful, very accurate, and sometimes newfound information. All of the 48-page volumes have excellent color plates; however, my favorites are those by Eugene Leliepvre,Bryan Fosten and Francis Back. These are very talented artists give us very realistic renderings of what soldiers undoubtedly looked like on campaign and in combat.

These book is thorough studies, written in a scholarly manner with well thought out illustrations and color plates.Stuart Reid and Osprey have done us a great service with these volume and all of them belong on our bookshelves. They are accurate, packed with information, written by an acknowledged authority of the periods covered, who is a meticulous researcher and an entertaining author. What these volumes proved to me is that we really shouldn't judge a book (or a series, for that matter) by its cover or its title. Osprey has once again, in my mind, placed itself in the top notch of military history books available for research purposes, as well as entertainment.

Anyone who consider himself a fan of the Highlanders Regiments would enjoy this fascinating book I also recomened the Highland Clansman 1689-1746 from the same author excellent and very informative.

This book kept me captivated and entranced with its vivid folktales. My favorite story is "Spider Flies to the Feast." The block prints by acclaimed artist Ashley Bryan are a beautiful touch. This book is a treasure and portrays Liberian culture very vividly. I highly recommend it for readers of all ages.

Norton presents a review of moral, economic, and philosophical rationales for preserving natural variety, i.e., biological diversity and the habitats that support it.

This is not a "bleeding heart" tree-huggers guide to preserving nature. It is, on the other hand, an academically sound presentation of ideas and rationales that can help one understand that the discussion of the value of, say, a tree goes much further than the amount of money one could obtain by cutting it down and selling it for lumber or pulp.

The book focuses on definitions and examples of different methods of applying value systems to diversity. After all, in this world there is little hope of preserving a thing when its value cannot be identified.

Three main value systems are discussed in the book:

1) Demand value (the economic or market value of a thing or access to a thing)

2) Intrinsic value (the value of the existance of a thing, regardless of its market value -- i.e., the value of a thing because "it is"

3) Transformative value (the likelihood that contact with a thing will change the way humans view that thing and other entities in nature)

Norton uses those value systems to present ideas about why natural diversity ought to be preserved.

This book is, in my opinion, a must read for anyone who teaches about the environment. It should also be read by legislators, and, to tell the truth, it wouldn't hurt many environmentalists to read it either!

A highly recommended book. 5 stars!

Wild Logging: A Guide To Environmentally And Economically Sustainable Forestry by forestry expert Bryan Foster is a useful and "user friendly" guide designed especially for the owners and managers of private forest lands. Wild Logging will enable the reader to craft a charter for private and corporate land-based forestry management that balances both harvesting interests and long-term ecological stability. Wild Logging is confidently recommended as being an exceptionally thoughtful, balanced and practical guide which is deftly written to provide a viable commercial alternative to the evils of clear-cutting or forest habitat destruction.

I'm a native of this town (born there in 1923) and found Howard Bryan's book an outstanding and worthwhile account. I've recounted some of his tales to people in other states and countries, and encountered disbelief. It sounds too much like a B movie to be credible, but it's all true. In fact, it's understated.

My father had one of the original posters which is reproduced on the back of the jacket, and I can testify it is authentic.

Most people find it hard to believe such a tough town could stay that way for as long as Las Vegas NEW MEXICO did. The original Las Vegas was established a hundred years before Bugsy Seigal the mobster started his air-conditioned, neon-lit palace for city dudes, hundreds of miles away, in the Nevada desert.

The photographs are also historical artifacts of great value.
I recommend the book with great enthusiasm.

this book is very helpful, it contains the whole things about IAS. It gives you brief but understandable explanantion about IAS. Right now I am taking an International Accounting course and I found that this book is a good guide for me to get a better understanding about my course.

I really enjoyed this book-it's very well written, loaded with great pictures, and contains a lot more personal information that was lacking in other books about Will Rogers that I've read. This book contains a fair amount of his quotes, usually given along in sync with the events that happened in his life as they unfolded. This would be an excellent book for someone who has never even heard of Will Rogers, much less read about him-they might get bit with the Will Rogers bug like I have. My husband brought this book home to me from the library, which is why I can rate it without owning it-but I will own it shortly, just as soon as my budget allows. And I plan to buy a copy for my father for a gift, as he was born in December of 1923, just in time to live through the depression and grow up hearing and reading about what this great man had to say the first time he said or wrote it. Highly recommended reading.

My wife and I predict this will be a classic--it's back to the basics on what Christians must focus on to get meaning out of everything else. If you've forgotten about the "wonder" of what a daily walk with God looks and feels like, stop everything, order this book--and get ready to change course. This is beautifully written, with crisp, original "you know he's right" thinking. Warning: this will cost you! You'll end up sending the book to your friends. (I've already sent it to more than 25 people!)

The Brady workbook is a great adjunct to go along with the textbook. The chapters are well thought out and concise for excellent review for recertification exams. The layout with objectives, text, key points, list of words and their meanings is great.
