Insight Guide Bali (Bail, 17th Ed)
Published in Paperback by Insight Guides (February, 2002)
Average review score: 
Great travel guideI read the history background like a novel. The cultural information such as the drama, the dances, the religion, the art etc. is great. The photos are great too. I am back from Bali and I just take this book with me.
Insight Guide BaliInsight Guide Bali is an exceptional travel guide. The history is well written and rich with interesting facts. I reads like a good novel. The maps are deteiled with plenty of cross references. There are plenty of travel tips from riding a bus to how to order food without MSGS. It appears that every possible travel issue has been addressed; from how not to get arrested to finding the swank resorts. The book is worth the price just for the exquisite pictures. I have never seen a travel book with photos as exceptional as these. Usually I purchase a couple of guide books before going to a new location, but this time I will only use the Insight Guide Bali.
Insight Guide Philippines (Insight Guides)
Published in Paperback by Insight Guides (July, 2000)
Average review score:
Good book to learn about Philippines without going @^:^@More than a travel guide, it spends more time on background and the meaning of sites in the Philippines. Many beautiful photos. Good book to learn about Philippines without going. My American friends that have read this book say it was BiG help to them in understanding not just travel only.
Very InformativeThis is one of the books you should get when you're going to the Philippines. It is a very long book filled with good detailed facts. The photographers who took the pictures got very good shots of the Philippines. Another good thing about this book is that is has very good information when your touring the Philippines in the back of the book. It tells you information about the weather, lodging, holidays and festivals, what should be worn, and even how to speak basic Tagalog (the official language of the Philippines). There's a lot of things I haven't mentioned. If you want a good quality guidebook on the Philippines, then you should try this book!
Into the Storm: A U.S. Marine in the Persian Gulf War
Published in Paperback by McFarland & Company (June, 2001)
Average review score:
Thompson pulls no punches.Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm were a blend of frustration, depression, anxiety and adrenaline rushes. Phillip Thompson captures, with stellar accuracy, the build-up to and conduct of the Persian Gulf War. The reader sees through his eyes how a company grade Marine Corps officer faced family separation, debated the "politicalness" of this conflict, and ultimately served with distinction and courage on the frontlines. The reader can feel the heat of the 120-degree desert, smell the smoke of the burning oil fires and sense the frustration of waiting interminably for the war to begin. This book captured the essence of "my" war better than any other that I've read.
A gritty, personal look at Desert Shield/StormWar may be hell, but waiting for it in a sweltering dockside warehouse or in the mosquito-infested desert is its own form of infernal torment. Thompson, who was among the first U.S. troops sent to protect the Saudi border after Iraq's August 1990 invasion of Kuwait, vividly describes the confusion, ennui, anger, fear, and occasional satisfactions of a Marine artillery captain caught up in the biggest military campaign since Vietnam. Mixing extensive quotes from his field journals with passages written with a decade's hindsight, Thompson puts the reader into the world of a combat soldier, a universe that shrinks at times to what can be seen with the eyes, heard through the rumor mill, or evoked by letters from home. Here, too, are tales of the fog of war: orders made and countermanded, improvisations brilliant and foolhardy. No one with a historical interest in the Marine Corps' Persian Gulf operations or a personal one in its troops should miss this book.
Introduction to Classical Tibetan
Published in Paperback by White Orchid Pr (December, 1990)
Average review score:
blessedly slim, grammatically thorough & well-organizedA blessedly slim, grammatically thorough & well-organized introductory text so elegant it can be used in classes or self-study. Beautifully printed, indexed, and designed. Introduction to Classical Tibetan by Stephen Hodge was assigned as a primary text at UC-Berkeley for beginning scriptural Tibetan. When first learning particles, I used to carry it with me everywhere. It's marvelously portable, and due to excellent indexing even a beginner can find specific grammatical items easily -- even when reading on the bus! When I advanced into higher classes, I kept Hodge in my backpack as a handy reference. It's still on my desktop today. If you are learning classical Tibetan independently, outside the university, this is a wonderful starter book.
The current best textbook for the study of classical TibetanHodge's book is by far the finest that I've seen for beginners of Literary Tibetan. The manner in which he has arranged the text is ingenious. It is a small book, but I think you learn more from it than from Joe Wilson's hefty "Translating Buddhism from Tibetan." Also, it's very hard to find, in the first year Tibetan class I took, we couldn't get a hold of the text, so we all had to use photocopies. For colloquial Tibetan, I recommend the "Fluent Tibetan" series, but they are really no substitute for a class.

Buku Islamic Banking bagi Indonesian bankers<BR>Industri perbankan islami saat ini telah berkembang pesat di negara negara dengan penduduk majorotas muslim,termasuk juga dengan Indonesia,malaysia,dan Brunei bahkan Pilipina,yang dengan demikian mengharuskan setiap banker untuk memahami apa dan bagaiman Bank Islam itu sebenarnya?
Banyak orang yang masih berpendapat bahwa pola operasional islami yang berpagu pada prinsip loss and profit sharing systems adalah sesuatu yang sulit,akan tetapi ternyata dalam praktek system ini berjalan dengan baik.Pemahaman mana seharusnya juga di miliki oleh setiap insan perbankan,termasuk didalamnya bank central atau di Indonesia disebut sebagai bank Indonesia
Bahwa namun demikian kita sadari keterbatasan resources tentang hal hal yang berkiatan dengan bak islam dalam bahasa Indonesia,dan atau yang mendekati approache khas Indonesia.Untunglah kemudian M Arref seorang Lecture pada University Malaya,berkenan mengenalkan pola islami pada dunia perbankan dengan judul bukunya ini,dan salah satu dari resourcesnya adalah buku buku atau artikel artikel tentang perkembangan bank islam di Indonesia
Buku ini sangat penting,karena tidak hanya membahas tentang instrument invesment islami secara definitif tetapi juga membahasa dengan lancranya semua hal yang berkaitan dengan perkembangan bank Islam di Asia tenggara,Memiliki buku ini adalah sangat penting bagi kita para banker,karena bagaimanapun perkembangan insudtri perbankan islami merupakan sesuatu yang patut dipertimbangkan
Tentu saja sekali lagi saya berharap,kepada siapapun yang berkenan untuk menterjemahkan buku ini dalam bahasa Indonesia,bahkan saya mohon kepada Tuan A.Areef agar berkenan menulis ulang buku ini dalam bahasa melayu yang tentu saja difahami oleh Banker atau pecinta buku Indonesia
Selamat membaca dan selamat bekerja

A fantastic reference for JavaIt would be hard to get lost with this map at your disposal. Large in scale and completely up to date, this map makes it easy to find your way around one of the most diverse and beautiful islands on the planet. The road references can be missleading in that weather conditions play a big part in their passablility, but the map should not be held responsible for that. If you are heading to Indonesia, take this map along.

A Land on Fire: The Environmental Consequences of the Southeast Asian Boom
Published in Hardcover by Westview Press (01 April, 2003)
Average review score:
Informative and entertainingFahn's personal anecdotes add color to his solid research about a country, its people and a culture he got to know well over many years. Personally, I thought it was refreshing to get information from someone who's actually been on the ground and seen a situation -- rather than from someone who draws their conclusions from someone else's study results. He includes info from a variety of sources, but not at the expense of first-hand knowledge. Also liked the way that he explained how he got some of his stories -- what a reporter has to do in a developing country, where corporate interests sometimes make it dangerous just to report on a problem.
A Land on Fire is outstanding - rich in detail and readableA Land on Fire is a superb book - informative, rich in detail, and readable. It traces Southeast Asia's environmental challenges through a treasure of engaging stories. In the narrative we meet all kinds of people - farmers, fishermen, indigenous leaders, eco tourism operators, loggers, government foresters, journalists, oil riggers. Woven tightly together with journalistic skill, their stories tell us much about the environmental crisis setting upon Southeast Asia.
Thailand is a country I have lived in and know well. From the first page to the last, Fahn shows a profound understanding of the country, a respect for its special qualities, and a passion for preserving its environmental heritage.

Very Good Vietnamese DictionaryThe definitions are great. It's compact. Nice Binding. I like it.
Excellent! Well worth the money.I have been looking for a good Vietnamese dictionary for a long time, and have finally found it in Langenscheidt's Vietnamese dictionary. This dictionary has the benefit of both northern and southern pronunciation, which is rare due to the fact that most textbooks and dictionaries only give the northern pronunciation. If you are studying Vietnamese, do yourself a favor and buy this book.
Lima-6: A Marine Company Commander in Vietnam
Published in Paperback by Pocket Books (November, 1990)
Average review score:
SIMPLY AN OUTSTANDING TRUE STORYA tremendous book recounting battles, fire-fights, ambushes, as well as the challenges of leading 18 and 19 year old marines in war time. Gives a good idea about the physical hardships and danger that our men encountered in Vietam. Capt. Camp also admits near the ending that he was "very, very, glad to get out of Vietnam." An honest insight !
Been There...Very even and factual account. I would encourage persons interested in USMC history to read this account of one man's perspective of events that occured in the second half of 1967, in I Corps. I have to tell you that I am slightly prejudiced: Captain Camp was my Company Commander in Viet Nam. He is the one against whom all others are judged. Skipper Camp is not only the finest Officer I encountered in the Marine Corps but, also, a real human being.
