This book is far too technical to have fugue-ing in the index. It doesn't even have confabulation. Sullivan's book, The Interpersonal Theory of Psychiatry (I gave my copy to my son last year, so I'm not seeing it now) might be a better source for functional definitions of the terms that I should be thinking about when I run my thinking into America's experience in Nam. I was hoping that, looking at descriptions of schizophrenia, I could find some technical description of aggravation, like: try grabbing a machine gun and shooting it straight up in the air ~ it works the same way.

Due to a 150 day drop when I ended my tour as a draftee in Nam, I only served 19 months in the U.S. Army. SCHIZOPHRENIA AS A HUMAN PROCESS by Harry Stack Sullivan contains a paper, "Psychiatric Training as a Prerequisite to Psychoanalytic Practice" originally reprinted from Amer. J. Psychiatry (1934-35), in which Stack attempted to convince the American Psychiatric Association to require psychiatric training in a mental hospital to contribute to "the professional competence of the psychoanalyst." (p. 309). In order to learn anything, "I personally favor heartily the requirement that the young physician make many written statements as to his view of this and that. Suave, quick-minded people often conceal in their spoken comments misapprehensions that they entertain. Once their views are recorded, deficiencies in their formulations are readily pointed out. Intensive criticism . . . coupled with some clinical demonstrations of how things really are done and of what has significance in the relationship of a competent psychiatrist and his patient, would vastly abbreviate the staggering amount of time it takes the average intern to find a clue to the nature of psychiatric therapy. I have said often that it takes 18 months residence . . . Moreover, adequate supervision would remedy immediately one grave development that now involves many young physicians who enter the psychiatric field. I refer to the damnable business of learning how to `get away with it' without really knowing what is going on, or caring." (pp. 317-8).

This book with it's fun approach, has given me both the technical background information AND most importantly an easy way to maintain a 30-40-30 plan for eating- I love the palm, fist, thumb approach!

This is the first Star Wars book I've completed. It's good and falls right in place with the rest of the Star Wars trilogy.

This book provides a detailed ethnnographic analysis of race and race relations as experienced in two Pacific Coast high schools. Perry examines the extent to which racial differences play a part in students'self-perceptions and explores significant differences in racial identities between whites who have daily contact with non-whites and whites whose contacts with non-whites are limited. This study is notable for its careful attention to the meanings high school students attribute to clothing styles, tastes in music, leisure activities, and so on. But the author's major contribution is conveying how affluent white students feel about non-whites. The author offers few original assessments, but her scrupulous attention to detail, sensitive portrayals of students, and accessible prose makes this a valuable study. Recommended. Stephen D. Glazier, Adjunct Professor of Anthropology, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

"The Southern League Textile Tournament" is an amazing piece of research into this South Carolina basketball tournament that has been held annually since 1921. After the 98-page summary of the tournament's 70-odd years follows the known rosters of all the teams who participated, the members of the all-tournament teams, and interviews with 17 participants. If there's a scrap of information existing pertaining to this tournament, Mac Kirkpatrick and Thomas Perry have plowed it up and put it in.

A rollicking space opera. High Noon in outer space. The story line is tight and completely believable. Stellar Ranger comes to town to investigate mysterious happenings and finds more than he bargained for. Finds very few will help him but is able to complete his assignment anyway. Steve Perry has a way with words and this novel follows in the tradition of his others. A good read for those who want an entertaining story without an excess of technological wizardry.

This book is an adaptation of Eleanor Perry's screenplay for Frank Perry's film, "The Swimmer." The original short story by John Cheever must have been hard to adapt into a full-length film, but the result made for an interesting movie with Burt Lancaster. This book is a good record of the movie. Doesn't add much, but if you're a fan of the movie, this would be a good book to add to your collection.

Seldom was a name of a plane so far from the mark as with the Devastator. This was mainly because of the time it went to combat, too long after it had been put into service. When it entered service, it was one of the most modern planes in the world as this book explains. Good text, lots of good photographs and splendid artwork plus the fact that there is not much to choose between for with this plane are the main reason for the four stars, its is by any way far superior too the sole other book specially about this plane, Aero Series No.23 from Aeropublishers, from 1973 till 1989 the only monograph devoted to this plane.

I dont know why there is no body who has given any comment on this book. I started my professional programming career with this book. One of the greatest book to start with when you want to migrate from C approach to programming to Object Oriented approach to programming, clears concepts of objects in a jiffy.

I am desperately searching for a copy of this book or a later version based on VC++ 5.0

Please let me know if you have one

This short little book is really more of a prayer than a book. It is based on Psalm 8 in The Bible. The main message of the book is that God has created all things, including people, but people are especially unique and one should be thankful that God has created them the way they are. This tiny book includes some colorful and warm illustrations to accompany the text. Overall, very short, but contains an important message that children need to hear over and over.
