The author provides a unique view on the political folly of North Korea and its devastating impact on its people. Thorough first hand research leads to a book that reads as reference matter on modern North Korea and a post-communism world.
How timely as the drums of war are now beating on the peninsula.

Readable if somewhat outdated, this book contains comprehensive chapters on prosimian ecology, and a classic chapter on niche partitioning among five sympatric species of lorisoids in Gabon. A must-have background read for any student of modern primatology.

This is a great collection of references for individuals seriously interested in Madagascar. Topics covered are diverse, ranging from Madagascar's unique extant flora and fauna to its paleoecology. I definitely recomend this book.

Some articles are in English, some in French - all articles have abstracts in both languages.

Be forewarned that this collection is not formatted like Battistini & Richard-Vindard 1972. It is less of a book, per se, and more a collection of about 50 articles- like an academic journal or conference proceedings. Not all aspects of Madagascar's biogeography are covered. Rather, this collection is representative of the vein of recent biogeographical research in Madagascar.

A fantastic book in every respect. Written by a Jesuit priest-psychologist who's also a Theology professor at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California.

At long last, a Catholic scholar who integrates purely human needs with traditional Church teaching and makes complete sense. No dissident theology or new age mumbo-jumbo in this very challenging and thoroughly modern book.

I'm A college student in university in japan.
I interesting to learn about the champa people and literature...
so, i need a good book for reference

thank you

This is a rare find, because it concentrates on a book by Celine. Hailing 'Journey' as a masterpiece, the book analyzes the key components and the picaresque adventures of Bardamu. Good companion.

This book is great if you can get your hands on it.
It uses a variety of topics to stress it's point;
such as science, math and cooking.
The resource books that go along with it have hands
on approaches to learning as well and worksheets and
the normal busy work. I have only found these in amazon
zshops...they are titled Enjoy Literacy Activity Book and
there is also Integrated Theme Tests. These are editions
3.1. There is also 3.2 which is titled Celebrate Literacy
Activity Book and Integrated Theme Tests. If you haven't
decided on a series to use definatly try these books.

This book captures the true meaning of Hawai'i and of the aloha spirit. It is a great book for all ages, as it reminds us of the greatness of God in all things.

I wrote the introduction to this history/memoir and I'd like to make one "correction." As a unionist and leftist, I wanted make clear the organic role played by the American Communist Party and by such stirling Communists as Wyndam Mortimer in the very early days of the CIO and the UAW. But Henry Kraus was clearly ambivalent about such relevations, even 60 and 70 years after. So in the text, such political candor is muted, and even in the introduction, I acquiesced to the author and dropped a reference to Wyndam Mortimer, who was Kraus' mentor, as a "pioneer Communist." I felt conflicted at the time, and this historiographic thorn has never ceased to irritate, so this note corrects part of the record. I should add, that the book is otherwise excellent and offers a real feel for the internal UAW politics of the 1930s.

This book is a great find for anyone whose native language is not English (or French) but who would want to improve the ability to use a telephone. The book has dialogs in English and French arranged on pages next to each other.
It's actually written for the French, I believe (it has a foreward in French). But it doesn't really matter. Dialogs are identical in both language. They may help you to make an approintment with a doctor, to reserve a hotel room, a car or a table at a restaurant... Basically, this book has lots of useful phrases for those who want to communicate on the phone without mistakes.
It helps with words needed to leave a message on someone's answering machine, to deal with secretaries at all kinds of offices (or to play a secretary yourself), and to make all kinds of inquiries. It's actually useful for any small talk, business or personal. You would be even able to express yourself to your lover!
I used this book many times when I was not comfortable with my English yet.
