As usual, Mr. Brown has put in so much creative energy into this brilliant easy to read portrayal of the Lozi people.

I teach in a Montessori classroom and am always looking for new ways to make learning fun. This is a great book! It has helped me link music and science together. The concepts in the songs are sophisticated and interesting. The text is informative and funny.

A seminal book about a WWII campaign that achieved nothing of strategic significance except to boost Gen. MacArthur's personal standing as well as diverting US military forces from a direct thrust at Japan. Oddly enough, only military operations from after Operation Cartwheel, which included the bloody Buna campaign, is covered. Interested readers on the related Australian operations including the Kokoda trail, as well as follow-on operations in the Philippines will have to look elsewhere. A clear prerequisite for reading and enjoying this book is to have read "American Caesar" by William Manchester which gives the background to the complex relationships between all the personalities involved. The almost deadly duel between MacArthur and Admiral King over overall strategy and logistics is highlighted, with Admiral Nimitz being pushed into the background. The race between MacArthur's and Nimitz's rival thrusts towards the Japanese Empire being one of the main themes here. The book constantly harps on MacArthur's obsession with getting back to the Philippines. Thus, in his race to beat the US Navy to the China-Luzon-Formosa area, MacArthur is criticised for moving too fast up the northern coast of PNG before securing his bases for staging the next amphibious landings. He doesn't appear to have endeared himself to the men doing the fighting but achieved his objectives in record time and with remarkably low casualty rates for the whole campaign. As MacArthur did not know about the Manhattan Project, he cannot be faulted for his strategic planning based largely on the then known technology as well as current US military capability. As it was, the atomic bombs were the strategic weapons that decisively ended the Pacific War. This remarkable book goes somewhere towards setting the record straight and giving due credit to the many forgotten servicemen who performed gallantly or gave their lives in this little-known campaign. The maps are clear, concise and relate well to the text.

I think the highlight of this book is that Professor Raybeck writes in a way that introduces anthropology to students as approachable and interesting. It shows the mistakes that a professonal can (and will) make while in the field. While taking Professor Raybeck's class at Hamilton College, "Mad Dogs" was used as a tool and example in his own teaching, but I feel that this book stands alone and can be used for any intro to anthro class, or for anyone looking for a low-key introduction to anthropological field work.

I have read this book and I think it is the best book of MRI for learning all the patology of CNS, I cannot find it in my country, I would like to Know how can I buy it by internet.

This is the only book I have ever read that explains what occurs in psychotherapy. It is exceptionally clear, it is written in plain English, it is realistic (talks about benefits and limitations of therapy), and it is compassionate. The book also helps potential therapy clients pick the right therapist and become more well informed about which therapies work best for which types of problems.

This little book is perfect to read to a child and discuss peace. Although it had black and white pages and no color, the pictures grab you! I recommend it as a quick way to get into a discussion of ways we can practice peace-keeping in our communities.
