Wide range of topics - does not go very deep in any.......2001-09-21

At 240 pages with a scope that covers the broad spectrum of privacy issues this book is more like a whitepaper or comprehensive executive overview. However, that can make this book more valuable to the right audience than a 1000 page tome that gets bogged down into details. The best audience is falls into two domains: marketing and corporate communications on the business side, and the technical staff involved in requirements and design.

The book is fast-paced and highly focused on each topic. It begins with an excellent discussion of marketing vs. privacy, which is an important opening topic because many analysts believe that the failure of e-business to meet its potential is because of consumer mistrust of information that is collected about their buying habits. With the big issue out of the way, the author goes into a succinct and clearly explained chapter intended to be a primer on privacy law. This sets the context for the rest of the book.

Each subsequent chapter addresses a specific topic. Each is well written and the range of topics spans every aspect of e-business privacy both in the U.S. and in Europe. The chapter titles are:

Healthcare Law Mandates Security and Privacy, Privacy of Personal Financial Information,Internet Privacy for Children, European Union Privacy Protection Mandate, Information Privacy and Compliance Programs, Internal Protection Controls, Creating and Communicating Policies, Digital Signatures Liberate Electronic Commerce, Biometric Security Systems, Encryption Security for Electronic Commerce, Protecting Proprietary Information, Secrecy and Noncompete Agreements, Computer Insurance: Risks and Protection, Audit Checklists and Monitoring.

As you can see, the topics are divided among general purpose privacy (i.e., privacy of personal financial information), technical (i.e., biometric security systems) and industry- or region-specific (i.e., healthcare law; EU privacy protection mandate).

Amazing Discovery.......2006-12-12

I found this title in a used bookstore and purchased it immediately because of its chapter on the Black Mulberry, a mysterious fruiting tree growing in my backyard. I soon discovered that it had a chapter on the Asian Pear, another tree I had on my property. The book continued to fascinate me and soon I was looking for the current, elderberry, persimmon, strawberry, and wild blueberry species for my garden. So many of us urban dwellers garden, but fewer and fewer of us remember our society's original purpose in doing so: to enjoy the pleasures of eating. Most of the species are available from Raintree Nursery in Morton, WA.

Really expanded my ideas of what to plant.......2005-06-18

I read about another book by Lee Reich on another website and through Amazon's links discovered this book. I have read parts of this book over and over and it really makes me want to try growing some of the varieties of plants that are found on its pages. I went and bought a Hardy Kiwi plant this spring and can't wait until it matures enough to produce fruit. I am also interested in the Mulberry and the Pawpaw because of this book. Some of the information seems to be a little outdated now (it said that Hardy Kiwi needed to be planted in Male/Female pairs but there are self-pollinating varieties now), but most of the information is timeless and still is applicable.

A taste teaser! I want to get these plants!.......2000-09-12

This book is, first of all, a wonderful read. It is full of historical notes, very interesting to this nonbotonist, and is fully researched. Advances have been made since it was written, and perhaps some of the suppliers given in the back are no longer with us; but a good web search will remedy that. It describes the flavors, scents, and appearence of the fruits in succulent detail. Since I have read it, I have been buying and trying to get friends to buy the various fruits listed. It is torture not being able to go out and buy jujubes, gumis, hardy kiwi, pawpaws, and all the rest of the children of Pomona that are here delineated. A wonderful book, full of charming oddities and wit.

Book Description

This groundbreaking volume explores evidence indicating that life on Earth began with the arrival of comets four billion years ago. It also theorizes that life on Earth is not unique, as the general scientific community tends to believe, and postulates that all living matter derives from the cosmic matter that make up comets that were formed in the early days of our galaxy. Also discussed are the numerous ways comets could bring an end to life, such as by introducing bacteria and viruses that cause epidemics, or by creating a new ice age from comet dust shrouding the planet from the sun.

Steel My Soldiers' Hearts is retired Colonel David Hackworth's account of his tour of duty in Vietnam commanding the 4/39th, an infantry battalion operating south of Saigon in the Mekong River delta. Poorly led (the previous commander had based the battalion in the middle of a mine field), with frightfully high casualties (40 percent during the six months prior to Hackworth's arrival), and fighting in the most dangerous of terrain, the 4/39th was a dispirited and demoralized group when Hackworth assumed command in January, 1969. Upon arrival, Hackworth fired many of the senior officers and then put the 4/39th through "Combat 101," which made him so unpopular that at one point Hackworth was warned of a bounty some of his men had put out on him. Over the next five months, however, Hackworth would transform the 4/39 from "hopeless to hardcore," dramatically reverse the casualty rate, score some spectacular victories over the Viet Cong, and earn the undying respect of his troops. Here's a gung ho and earthy firsthand account of the Vietnam War that fans of We Were Soldiers Once... will appreciate. --Harry C. Edwards

Book Description

In January 1969, one of the most promising young lieutenant colonels the U.S. Army had ever seen touched down in Vietnam for his second tour of duty, which would turn out to be his most daring and legendary. David H. Hackworth had just completed the writing of a tactical handbook for the Pentagon, and now he had been ordered to put his counterguerilla-fighting theories into action. He was given the morale-drained 4/39th -- a battalion of poorly led draftees suffering the Army's highest casualty rate and considered its worst fighting battalion. Hackworth's hard-nosed, inventive and inspired leadership quickly turned the 4/39th into Vietnam's valiant and ferocious Hardcore Recondos.

Drawing on interviews with soldiers from the Hardcore Battalion conducted over the past decade by his partner and coauthor, Eilhys England, Hackworth takes readers along on their sniper missions, ambush actions, helicopter strikes and inside the quagmire of command politics. With Steel My Soldiers' Hearts, Hackworth places the brotherhood of the 4/39th into the pantheon of our nation's most heroic warriors.

At Least Someone In Vietnam Knew What They Were Doing.......2007-08-09

Serving as my introduction to the work of Colonel Hackworth, "Steel My Soldiers' Hearts" could have hardly delivered any more encouragement to read the rest of his books. Having served as a columnist and media commentator for years have honed Hackworth's writing skills, and the synergy provided by his co-writer wife combine to produce a narrative that "Grabs you by the nose and kicks you in the pants," as Patton would have said. Documenting the Colonel's takeover of a hardluck unit and its transformation into hardcore killers in matter of months, the book covers daily engagements with a fierce enemy, and pulls no punches as Hackworth describes various generals, captains, and sundry brass as "idiots" or far more colorful terms. Hackworth himself dispatches about a dozen VC over the course of the book, and he dispassionately describes the wounds he himself receives, taking his eighth purple heart on this tour of duty. In short, David Hackworth is a writer and a warrior of the highest caliber.

EXCELLENT BOOK.......2007-05-14

I have quite a few books similiar to this & they are all exellent.

too many civilian casualties.......2006-10-31

This book is great as a work in "motivation." What could be better than a man who comes into a unit that is on its knees, and absolutely transforms it into a vaunted fighting force - and does so while risking his life heroically, getting wounded repeatedly, and in general loving his profession (combat arms), his men, and his country? I must have read this book five times, just soaking in all his tactical managerial wisdom.

Only problem is, it is still war. Alot of dead people, alot of painful losses. It breaks your heart to see it. You thank God for the American fighting man, but you wonder aloud why he has been so often lately in the service of mediocre strategists and diplomats. And, one last thing. John Paul Vann shows up near the end of the book, an old buddy of Hack's. And he asks the question: are your enemy-casualty lists inflated? Are there too many civilians chipped in there? It seemed from the tone of Hack's writing there, that the answer may have been yes. So, in the end, I would tread cautiously. War, however honorable or necessary, is also always evil in part; just no way around this.

Gritty and tough, told only the way Hack could.......2006-10-17

Hack did not mince words about what it was to be a leader, he led by example. With gritty humor and straight talk he shows us that leaders do not demand respect - they earn it. And when they earn it, people follow and succeed. A good leader shows those he leads how to be their best and gives them the support and tools to achieve it. That was Hack, and only he can tell it like this.

I read this book twice.......2006-08-17

Fans of Band of Brothers, Fans of Platoon, Fans of Saving Private Ryan will love this book. Its an easy read, and its something you will enjoy.
The way hackworth writes puts you in vietnam along side of him. One of the best books I've read in along time.
I wish HBO would pick this book up, and make a series out of it like Band Of Brothers. amazing...
