    Book Description

    This book makes available to English-speakers a comprehensive description and incisive critique of the Japanese tax system. This revised edition contains three new chapters, incorporating tax reforms of the early 1990s. The work details changes to consumption tax and to land tax in order to
    understand the recent development of the tax system. Having served as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Land Taxation, Ishi has the experience to write about these recent developments. He begins by tracing the development of the Japanese tax system, introducing the system in an historical and
    contemporary context and highlighting its main features. Ishi examines individual and corporate tax, as well as indirect, inheritance, gift, and local taxation. The book includes Ishi's appraisal of the system and proposals for further reform measures. The numerous comparative tables have been
    updated and equations recalculated, using extensive data not publicly available.

            5 out of 5 stars The History of Dick Tracy!.......2003-08-08

            This was an outstanding collection of comic strips that made up the career of my favorite crime fighter Dick Tracy.I began reading Dick Tracy comic strips at the age of 5 in the Beaumont Enterprise. Dick Tracy was the embodiment of forces of good crushing the forces of evil.I am now 50 and I still enjoy Dick Tracy. This book is the best of Dick Tracy. You have an early
            history of the beginning of Tracy's crime fighting career.This
            book features some of Tracy's most evil villains.You have the Blank,Mary X,Jerome Trohs and Momma,Little Face Finny,the Mole,
            B.B. Eyes,88 Keyes,Flattop,the Summer Sisters,the Brow and Gravel Gertie,Breathless Mahoney,B.O. Plenty,Mumbles,and Pear Shape.This is a must buy for the serious Dick Tracy fan.This
            is the finest of Dick Tracy.Read this and you will become a fan of Dick Tracy too.

            5 out of 5 stars The Bible of All Dick Tracy Books.......2002-02-20

            I searched high and low for this book until I found it for sale on line through Amazon. I first read this collection of Dick Tracy comic books at the age of 10 and have been hooked ever since. Reading through it a second time was even better because I now had a historical context to enjoy some of the references and greater awareness of some of the unfortunate racial stereo-types sometimes depicted. The cases include criminal minds like Flat Top, Pear Shape, Gravel Gerty & BO Plenty, The Blank, 88 Keys, Jerome Trohs & Mamma, Little Face Finny, The Mole, The Brow, Breathless Mahoney and Mumbles. Some color pages. This is a must read and must have for all Tracy fans and fans to be.

                4 out of 5 stars Missing Sunday pages.......2006-12-10

                Contrary to what several reviewers have stated this collection does have the Sunday pages for the last few segments. The early Sunday pages couldn't be reproduced due to technical difficulties at the time of publication. Monday dailies usually gave a summary of what happened on Sunday. This was done as some newspapers did not have Sunday comics.


                4 out of 5 stars Classic, if deeply flawed, collection of the legendary comic.......2002-09-13

                In its prime, there never was a strip like Dick Tracy. With rare skill and inventiveness driven by a personal fire, this comic blazed a new trail in subject matter. This book contains some of the greatest stories of what mystery luminary Dashal Hammit called the first modern police procedural stories.

                In this book, you will enjoy classic tales like Tracy's first story as well as his cases against great villains like The Blank, 88 Keys, The Brow, Mumbles and Flattop. However, I have to mention that since the sunday strips were not included in this reprint, stories in the strip's prime have gaping holes that those colour ones were supposed to cover. It is not fatal, but it hurts the collection.

                Otherwise, if you want to see what this strip at its best was like, then this can be a good example for you. But if you want complete stories, then Dick Tracy Casebook: Favorite Adventures, 1931-1990 could be more for you.

                  4 out of 5 stars Misleading title.......2000-06-25

                  Being a tremendous fan of EM Delafields "Diary of a Provincial Lady", "The Provincial Lady Goes Further", and the two subsequent novels, I was very excited to discover this previously unknown book in the series.

                  However when I read it, I discoverd that "The Provincial Lady in Russia" is NOT a novel and it is NOT about "Time and Tide" magazine's "Provincial Lady".

                  It is, actually, a fascinating factual account of EM Delafield's visit to communist Russia in the 1930's. It has been re-titled in the last 20 years by the publisher, presumably to cash in on the current popularity of "The Provincial Lady" series.

                  Please DO buy this book if you are interested in social history, English attitudes to communist Russia in the 30's, and witty, erudite, informative writing.

                  But do NOT buy this book if you are looking for more tales about the Provincial Lady, her husband, their two children, Mademoiselle, the vicar's wife and Lady B!

                  I find it insulting to the memory and work of EM Delafield (and tremendously insulting to us, her readers) that this book has been "re-branded" in such a cynical way.

                        This study of urban identity and community looks at selected twentieth century literary and film texts in the contexts of theorizations modernism, postmodernism, post-coloniality and globalization.

Cities included are London and New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Bangkok. Writers and artists considered are: in the modernist period, Ezra Poun and T.S. Eliot, Langston Hughes and Melvin B. Tolson, and in the contemporary period, Hanif Kureishi, Bernadine Evaristo and Salman Rushdie, Iain Sinclair and Patrick Keiller, Paul Auster and Sarah Schulman, William Gibson, Wong Kar-Wai and Lawrence Chua, and Alex Proyas, Latife Tekin and John Berger.

                          The Harley-Davidson motorcycle, writes Brock Yates, is a quintessentially American machine: "flawed but honest and forthright, bombastic and audacious like the nation that produced it." Anyone who has pulled off the road to let a pack of Hells Angels roar by, or who has watched an executive trade in his Rolex for leather chaps and a custom Softail, also knows that the allure of the Harley is its rebellious, bad-guy mystique. In Outlaw Machine, Yates sets out to document the history of Harley-Davidson, as a company and as a symbol that helped create--and now sustains--American motorcycle culture.

                          What Yates gives us, in prose that aims for the sound and fury of his subject but sometimes suffers from a lack of agility, is a modern American success story--"the long ride of the Harley-Davidson into the mainstream." It is the story of how the Harley became the vehicle of choice for rebels and outlaw bikers; how the company distanced itself from this media-enhanced, antiestablishment image as it suffered the onslaught of Japanese imports; how the company stumbled, close to bankruptcy, into the '80s when it realized that the hard-core biker contingent exhibited unequaled brand loyalty. "If this rebelliousness, this sheer vitality and off-the-wall lust for the elemental life could somehow be tapped to offset the seamless onslaught of the Japanese, perhaps ... Harley-Davidson could survive."

                          Harley-Davidson has capitalized on its "reputation of veiled menace" to establish a marketing niche for the record books, and its classically styled, gleaming machines have become one of the most sought-after status symbols of the '90s. Yet Yates suggests that the Harley's power transcends the mainstream's co-option of its renegade image. "If that rumble, that ungodly roar, that death threat to collectivism and convention dies away, it will be time to turn out the lights." --Svenja Soldovieri

                          Book Description

                          For decades, motorcycles have been the ultimate symbol of danger, rebellion, and freedom, and Harley-Davidson bikes have always been the baddest of them all. Now, with Outlaw Machine, noted automotive writer Brock Yates tells the definitive history of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Harleys from their relatively wholesome prewar image to the birth of the Hells Angels, and their current worldwide status as the ultimate in style and attitude. He also tells the success story of the company itself, a small family business that transformed itself into the industry leader.

                          I found this read to be just great.It gives you a brief history of the begining of the company and brings you right through the culture of the biker and the attraction of the Harley Davidson.A true motorcyclist will be totally engrossed.

                          4 out of 5 stars Good Introduction to Bike History.......2004-07-19

                          Having started with a minibike at age 5, and eventually moving up through dirt bikes, Japanese bikes and eventually to Harley's by the time I was 30, I wanted to know a bit of motorcycle history.

                          I picked up the book on a whim thinking it would have a good bit of history without taking the rest of my life to read, and wasn't disappointed. The book, though not a detailed account of every facet of motorcycling, served its purpose well. It's a good and entertaining introduction into the history of the Harley Davidson.

                          Several of its points rang true. For instance the fact that Japanese bikes, though undoubtedly technologically superior, just don't have the soul of a Harley sums up the reasons I eventually abandoned the former bikes for the American brand (the difference in price tags had a bit to do with buying one later in life as well, come to think of it).

                          I truly enjoyed the book, and would suggest it to anyone who is looking for an introduction into Harley history.

                          4 out of 5 stars Take it for a ride.......2004-01-24

                          Brock Yates provides a compelling overview of the Harley-Davidson history, and interesting thoughts on what Harley means to America. In some cases his philsophical pronouncements exceed his grasp, and in a few spots he becomes repetitive. Still, as a Harley owner, I greatly enjoyed the book. It does not get mired in tech specs, nor in meaningless detail of the Davidson family lineage. It is definitely not a hagiography -- he strikes the balance between pointing out flaws and giving credit where due. Others here say he stumbled on some history, but I value his writing that quickly moved me from cover to cover. It hits the high spots, and entertainingly tells me more about the Harley company and history than I knew before.

                          2 out of 5 stars A journalist wrote this?.......2002-11-13

                          Incredible. Almost never has a book shown such a lack of research, and an abundance of inacuraccies.

                          For an author to make such incredible mistakes in his material is bad. For a journalist? Inexcusable. Mr.Yates proved time and time again that his research was lacking.

                          Even without those, Mr.Yates' Holier-than-thou, know-it-all attitude was off-putting at best. For example, a statement which wasn't even related to bikes (about Daytona Bike Week):

                          "A visitor to Bike Week might conclude that this is a lilly white crowd. There are no blacks and no Hispanics, no minorities of any kind."

                          Obviously, ol' Brock has looked at every visitor to Bike Week, and has also asked them all about their lineage. This last statement is so ridiculous, it's almost funny.

                          The only reason I gave this book 2 stars instead of 1 is because some of the pictures were interesting. The text added absolutely nothing of interest, for the innacuracies were just overbearing.

                          Save your money. There are many other books with much more details about the history of Harley-Davidson. I wouldn't consider this one "research"!

                          1 out of 5 stars Another author cashing in on us.......2001-05-02

                          I would have thought that someone with the credentials of Mr. Yates would have done better. Instead, he serves up a book that is full of errors that should have been corrected with entry-level research. When something as basic as the correct year for the 50th anniversary of Sturgis is mis-stated, the complete lack of any interest in factual information is evident. I would dare say that Mr. Yates would never tolerate repeated mis-statements of fact without researching the subject in his magazine. He should be ashamed of this. Unfortunately, what he have is just another author whipping up a book without regard to content in the sole search for profit. Please don't waste your money as I did.

                            According to the authors the RAW file format is mainly for use in transferring graphics between Apple and PC computers and loses a great deal of detail. In other words they wrote a book about Photoshop CS but they know little if anything about the subject.

                              1 out of 5 stars Without a single redeeming quality........2004-11-12

                              There is little here that you can't find better described and illustrated in other more worth books on Photoshop. Most of the techniques are adequately described in Photoshop's own online help manual.

                              For example, Davis spends two pages describing color calibration for Windows machines. Her material is literally a lift of the Photoshop help file and fails to point out the crucial importance of truly accurate color calibration.

                              This is typical of the book as a whole: instruction without explanation.

                              A waste of money in my opinion. Anyone interested in increasing their Photoshop skills should spend considerable time either reading reviews of other books on the subject or thumbing through other tomes at the library or local bookstore.
