The Civil War Soilder.......2000-07-31

Really enjoyed this book. It was easy read and not weighted down with a lot of stradegy. I thought it captured the meaning of brotherly love, when at the end of the war, the Union troops even shared their food with the enemy.The fact that the Confederates were allowed to keep their horses was very moving to me, as these animals is some cases were all they owned. And in the end,it makes no difference which side they fought on, they were finally all together on a common ground, even if it is in eternal rest.

Images of Valor: Civil War Photography Revisited.......2000-07-28

Ray Carson's the Civil War Soldier: A Photographic Journey brings a fresh perspective and new treatment to a photographic subject that was defined 135 years ago by renown Civil War photographer, Matthew Brady, whose battlefield photos brought the grisly horrors of the war home to the American public. Ray Carson's photos, although more than a century removed from the subject, have a dynamic, impromptu quality and spontaneous intimacy that Brady, with his long exposure times that required subjects to be perfectly still (or dead), was never able to capture. Carson's photos capture the action and vitality of scenes that Brady couldn't, with a technique that is brilliant in the way it preserves the old daguerreotype quality of the photography of Brady's times with the movement and close-up action of modern photography. Carson's photos put the viewer right into the middle of the action. He did this by photographing re-enactors at the sites of the Civil War's great battles who annually recreate, with painstaking attention to detail and authenticity, those great conflicts which tested the mettle and honored the valor of both sides, North and South alike, and, in the process, forged a stronger, undivided nation. Civil War Soldier is absorbing reading, too, with many first-hand accounts, and the foreword by James Robertson, Jr. of Virginia Tech is a compelling introduction to one of the most dramatic and moving periods in the nation's history. Once I picked up Ray Carson's book, I couldn't put it down. Civil War Soldier belongs on the bookshelf of every Civil War buff, along with Matthew Brady.

Wonderful!.......2005-04-22

This wonderful collection of Peanuts cartoons was originally published in 1950, and the book I have is a 1983 reprint. As with other Peanuts books, each page of this book has two strips of four frames each, all of them from 1950-52. Because of the date, Rerun isn't here, but just about all of the other Peanuts stars are - Lucy, Violet, Schroeder, and even Sally.

As with all of the Peanuts books, this one is absolutely great, and if you can get it, then do so! Among the many adventures that you will see in here is World War I flying ace Snoopy getting together with his doughboy brother, Spike, and his Red Cross volunteer sister, Belle! That one alone makes the book a great purchase.

From the supplier: The United States and the European Union have exhibited markedly different labour market developments since 1980: relatively low unemployment despite strong labour supply growth in the US; slow labour supply growth and huge unemployment in the EU. The authors critically examine the "consensus view" that EU unemployment is due mainly to inability to manage relative shifts in demand for low-skilled labour because of wage rigidities and generous social benefits. They offer an alternative view emphasizing major differences in aggregate demand policy. They point out that without economic growth and the resulting employment opportunities it is difficult to advance EU labour market reform. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

Book Description

b /b b i Unemployment in Europe /i /b carefully examines why European unemployment is so astoundingly high and examines the policies adopted at local, national and European levels to tackle this growing problem. Unemployment is the most serious economic and social problem in Europe today. Although the extent varies from region to region, for example with relatively low levels in West Germany to high levels in Spain and Greece, it is generally most extreme in the larger cities. The extensive research in this volume lays the foundations for Valerie Symes' excellent analysis. The author scours five detailed case studies to locate the key factors which could be brought together for a Europe-wide solution. b /b b i Unemployment in Europe: Problems and Policies /i /b is of immense value to those interested in the prevalent social phenomenon of unemployment. It is also useful for those involved in economics and social policy.
