Mental Funny in the Head Eddie Sarfaty Publisher: Kensington Publishing Corp., July 01, 2009 Review: As caustically hilarious as anything written by David Sedaris, David Rakoff or Augusten Burroughs, Mental: Funny In The Head by Eddie Sarfaty expertly takes his celebrated stand-up routine and turns it into a fabulous batch of essays plumbing the low points of his life and transforming them into comedic gold. Career misfires, cheapskate ex-boyfriends and cats with severe mental deficiencies are just a few targets of his scathing wit. Whether he’s expressing his true feelings about his mother’s European vacation (where she refused to dine anywhere that didn’t have a menu in English) or his grandmother’s catlike maneuverings to avoid being placed in a nursing home, Sarfaty exposes the excesses of his dysfunctional family with palpable glee. An equal opportunity offender, he turns the spotlight on his own misadventures with the same relish, waxing poetic on a horrific summer in Portugal working on a knock-off production of Phantom Of The Opera, and practically electrocuting himself after deciding to jump a subway turnstile. Acidic, acerbic and shrewdly funny, Sarfaty reveals himself to be a natural storyteller, with a writing style that’s every bit as captivating as his live performances.

Group, November 04, 2008 Review: By 1972, America’s politicians were quickly forming a consensus that the Vietnam War was no longer worth fighting. The benefits were clearly being smothered by mounting liabilities. Many in the military, though, still had plenty to fight for—the American POWs struggling to survive day in and day out inside the enemy’s brutal prison camps, as well as those who wanted to get them out, war or no war. In May of that year, the Navy received intelligence that some Americans in the infamous Hanoi Hilton were planning an audacious escape. If these beaten and tortured men were courageous enough to take such risk, the military surely would not sit idly by waiting to welcome them home. Members of the Navy SEALs and UDTs eagerly stepped up to the plate. They hitched a ride on a submarine into enemy territory and launched their super-secret rescue mission—the details of which are revealed here for the first time. In Operation Thunderhead, Navy SEAL combat historian Kevin Dockery traces every last step of the mission, from the planning phase to the breathtaking outcome—and all the action in between. This is a story that has been waiting 36 years to be told.

The trauma served as a catalyst for her to explore how our behaviors regarding money—and food—can lead to such disasters. Using herself as a cautionary tale, Roth describes her bouts of binge shopping followed by fiscal self-deprivation. She recognizes that she was using money as a substitute for love, and further studies this understanding in the chapter entitled The Way We Eat is the Way We Spend. But in the next segment, Cash and Consciousness, Roth balances what was lost with what she found: that true wealth lies in changing how we handle our resources.

In the Graveyard of Empires America's War in Afghanistan Seth Jones Publisher: W.W. Norton & Co. Inc., July 06, 2009 Review: Longtime Afghanistan expert and RAND analyst Seth G. Jones watched as American optimism evaporated after the defeat of the Taliban in 2001 and, just four years later, a new “war of a thousand cuts” had brought Afghanistan to its knees. With In the Graveyard of Empires, Jones harnesses important new historical research on insurgencies and integrates thousands of declassified government documents to offer a penetrating and definitive account of the American experience in Afghanistan, from the rise of the Taliban to the depths of the insurgency. As Jones shows, the siphoning of resources to the Iraq war left U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan ineffectual and without support. Through interviews with prominent figures, including ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and commander Karl Eikenberry, Jones explains how a growing sanctuary for insurgents in Pakistan and a collapsing government in Kabul catalyzed the Taliban resurgence. Examining what has worked thus far—and what hasn’t—Jones argues that we must take a radically new approach to the war if the United States is to avoid the disastrous fate that has befallen every world power to enter the region, from Alexander the Great to the Soviet Union.

BUY NOW!!! ========================= Guerrilla Leader T. E. Lawrence and the Arab Revolt James Schneider Publisher: Bantam Books, Inc./ Div Random Hous, November 08, 2011 Review: T. E. Lawrence lives in the popular imagination as the dashing hero of the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia. But who was the real Lawrence—and what is the truth behind this visionary officer’s critical role in the shaping of the modern Middle East? Reclaiming Lawrence from hype and legend, James J. Schneider offers a startling reexamination of this leader’s far-reaching vision of Arab independence—and the tactics he used to help them achieve it. Just how did this obscure British junior intelligence officer, unschooled in the art of war, become “Lawrence of Arabia” and inspire a loosely affiliated cluster of desert tribes to band together in an all-or-nothing insurgency against their Turkish overlords? The answers shed new light on World War I-era Middle East, and have profound implications for our time as well, as a new generation of revolutionaries pulls pages from Lawrence’s playbook of irregular warfare. Blowing up trains and harassing supply lines with dynamite and audacity, Lawrence drove the mighty armies of the Ottoman Turks to distraction and brought the Arabs to the brink of self-determination. But his success hinged on more than just innovative tactics. As he immersed himself in Arab culture, Lawrence learned that a traditional Western-style hierarchical command structure could not work in a tribal system where warriors lead not only an army but an entire community. Weaving quotations from Lawrence’s own writings with the histories of his greatest campaigns, Schneider shows how this stranger in a strange land evolved over time into the model of the self-reflective, enabling leader who eschews glory for himself but instead seeks to empower his followers. Guerrilla Leader also offers a valuable analysis of Lawrence’s innovative theories of insurgency and their relevance to the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East. This exhaustively researched book also provides a detailed account of the Arab revolt, from the stunning assault on the port city of Aqaba to the bloody Pyrrhic victory at Tafileh, the only set-piece battle Lawrence fought during the Great Arab Revolt. Lawrence emerged from the latter experience physically and mentally drained, incapable of continuing as a military commander, and, Schneider asserts, in the early stages of the post-traumatic stress disorder that would bedevil him for the rest of his life. The author then carries the narrative forward to the final slaughter of the Turks at Tafas and the Arabs’ ultimate victory at Damascus. With insights into Lawrence’s views on discipline, his fear of failure and his enduring influence on military leadership in the 21st century, Guerrilla Leader is a bracingly fresh take on one of the great subjects of the modern era.

Statistics for Dummies, Second Edition, is a quick and accessible introduction to the subject in the phenomenally popular “...for Dummies®” series that you won’t want to miss. Packed with copious illustrations, cartoons, icons, and quick-reference “cheat sheets,” it makes learning more fun than you’d ever imagine. The book is divided into several sections, which include “Vital Statistics about Statistics,” “Number-Crunching Basics,” “Distributions and the Central Limit Theorem,” “Guesstimating and Hypothesizing with Confidence,” and “Statistical Studies and the Hunt for a Meaningful Relationship.” With crystal-clear explanations and lots of lively examples, statistics guru Deborah Rumsey demystifies statistical concepts such as mean, median, margin of error, standard deviation, and probability. From collecting and crunching quality data to evaluating medical studies to checking results, it’s all here. You’ll learn how to assess sample results, apply confidence intervals, and evaluate hypothesis tests, as well as how to look for correlations between variables and even spot fudged numbers reported in experiments. Rumsey goes beyond the formulas to show how statistics is applied in many real-world situations; for example, be skeptical of “statistically significant” studies based on a single data point, such as all those detergent, razor, and paper towel commercials that tout the superiority of their brand over a rival’s—by showing how the former beats the latter in a single test trial. Packing an array of extra features such as “Ten Tips for the Statistically Savvy Sleuth,” Statistics for Dummies, Second Edition, breathes life into a vital discipline.

This time, Brrr (a.k.a. the Cowardly Lion) takes center stage as he seeks out Yackle, the enigmatic oracle who always seems to have a hand in many of the goings-on in Oz. Brrr wants information about Elphaba Thropp, the woman who once defended him when he was a cub, but Yackle has questions of her own, and before long the two begin to trade knowledge for knowledge. What follows is a voyage through Oz that traces the Lion’s tale, from his orphaned youth to his adventures with Dorothy and beyond. Implicated in a massacre of trolls, bewitched by a forbidding Cat princess and oppressed by the anti-Animal laws, his path in life was no Yellow Brick Road. But what does he know of the whereabouts of Elphaba’s boy, Liir? What can Yackle reveal about the Clock of the Time Dragon? These questions take on a sudden urgency as the threat of war looms between Oz and Munchkinland. At once a portrait of a would-be survivor and a panoramic look at a world gripped with war fever, this is a smart and thoroughly engaging book that fans of Wicked will love.

How Sex Works Why We Look, Smell, Taste, Feel, and Act the Way We Do Sharon Moalem Publisher: HarperCollins, May 01, 2009 Review: We’re here to explore human sexuality from beginning to end,” writes Sharon Moalem in the Introduction of How Sex Works. And so we do: Beginning with the onset of puberty, we go on to examine the physical hallmarks of adult sexuality; the physiology of attraction and arousal; and what actually happens to our bodies during the act itself. We also see why sexual reproduction evolved at all (why don’t we just divide like cells?); ponder the mechanics of STDs; and more. Insights abound on every page. We learn, for example, that the age of first menstruation in women has fallen from 17 to 12 over the past 150 years due to a variety of factors, including diet and stress. We also discover that the same reason lies behind males’ attraction to women with symmetrical breasts and to women with hourglass shapes: They both denote higher fertility. Speaking of guys, can you guess which male primate has the biggest...er...reason to gloat? It’s Homo sapiens. Nevertheless, chimpanzees have a relatively larger testicle size; these primates are more promiscuous than we are, and the males who produce the most sperm have the best chance of actually impregnating a female. Did you know that being in love with someone actually works to dampen the sexual appeal of strangers that we might otherwise find attractive? Or that women are more likely to fall in love with super-masculine types when they are ovulating? Or that our partner’s smell plays a significant (if subconscious) role in our decision to have children? It’s all true, as Moalem shows. Moving forward, the book explores everything from same-sex attraction, to the evolution and purpose of female orgasm, to the reason there is sex at all: It speeds evolution by reshuffling the genetic deck every generation—faster evolution means a species has better odds to find advantageous adaptations—and prevents any parasites inhabiting the parents from being passed on. Think you already know everything about sex? How Sex Works answers questions you’d never even thought to ask.

Scott Huler’s On the Grid is a lively, captivating investigation into the infrastructures that make society possible in our daily lives. Shrouded in mystery, much of our infrastructure is sadly out of date. Bridges fall. Public transportation remains overcrowded and unreliable. Most of our roads haven’t been updated since the 1950s. Huler sets out to understand every system that shapes our society, from transportation, water and garbage to the Internet coming through our cable lines. The story begins outside Huler’s house in Raleigh, North Carolina, and travels everywhere from the inside of a storm water pipe to the sewers of ancient Rome. Every chapter follows a single element of infrastructure back to its source. He visits power plants, watches asphalt being laid and traces a drop of water backwards from his faucet to the Gulf of Mexico. He talks to the people who operate these systems and the people who plan them. Filled with amazing insights, interviews and stories, On the Grid is a mesmerizing and hilarious narrative.

The Clinton Tapes Wrestling History with the President Taylor Branch Publisher: Simon & Schuster, September 29, 2009 Review: In 1972, Taylor Branch and Bill Clinton were partners in politics, working together as coordinators of George McGovern’s presidential campaign in Texas. A 20-year gap in their acquaintance followed, during which time Branch won the Pulitzer Prize for the first volume of his three-volume history of the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., America in the King Years, while Clinton became president of the United States. Their subsequent reacquaintance at the beginning of the Clinton presidency led to a series of 78 conversations from 1993 to 2001 that form the basis of The Clinton Tapes. Branch begins by describing how the newly elected Clinton, exploring options for recording the history of his administration, proposed that Branch become his in-house scholar, like Schlesinger was to JFK. Branch rejected this offer, proposing instead that Clinton keep a taped diary. But the president felt that he needed help: “I can’t just sit down and talk into a tape recorder,” Clinton told Branch. “I need questions. I need somebody responding to me.” And so Branch agreed to help Clinton record a prompted diary, and in a process kept secret from all but a few White House staffers, Clinton regularly summoned Branch to the White House for their taping sessions. The sessions took place in various out-of-the-way White House locations, including Clinton’s private upstairs office, known as the Treaty Room, the family parlor next to the Clinton bedroom and even an upstairs kitchen. In Branch’s description, their meetings sometimes felt like bull sessions between friends. Yet in these sessions Clinton revealed his impressions of various foreign leaders and his thinking about trends in world politics, and discussed the major events of his administration, including the war in Bosnia, his crusades against the deficit and for health-care reform, his peace initiatives, his 1996 reelection campaign, the Whitewater investigations, the Lewinsky affair and the 1999 impeachment trial that would tarnish his presidency. The president’s side of these conversations formed the basis for Clinton’s memoirs. Branch meanwhile taped his own notes immediately after each session; these “instant reviews” included not only his thoughts about the presidential history that had just been discussed, but also his observations of the president’s mood, demeanor and domestic world. There are frequent appearances by wife Hillary and daughter Chelsea in The Clinton Tapes, and even some friendly socializing between the first family and Branch’s own. The result is a fascinating take on the history of the Clinton presidency and the workings of a presidential mind, along with a small slice of daily life in the Executive Residence of the White House.

Or was it something far more sinister? The eighth book in Lara Adrian’s darkly sensual Midnight Breed Series, Taken by Midnight follows Jenna as she wakes up from her ordeal in the compound of the Order—a race of vampire warriors whose very existence is shrouded in mystery. But even though she survived, she is not unscathed. The Ancient implanted something inside her, and it’s attached itself to her spinal column. And as it grows—and endows her with supernatural strength—the pain is excruciating. Brock, a dark-eyed Breed warrior working for the Order, has a unique power that belies his powerful physique: He can absorb other peoples’ pain with his touch. And his touch is exactly what Jenna needs. Soon, despite their resolve to keep their cool, they find themselves bound by a desire that shocks them both with its intensity. But is it the beginning of a beautiful relationship, or will a secret from his past—and Jenna’s own mortality—sentence them to a trial by fire that could spell their doom?

But Relentless puts the bestselling author in a league of his own as he explores the razor-thin line between the best and worst of human nature. Cullen "Cubby" Greenwich is a bestselling novelist who has everything he’s ever dreamed of—married to the love of his life, a genius child, even a great dog. On the heels of a bad review for his latest book from notoriously reclusive critic Shearman Waxx, Cubby has an accidental encounter with the poison-pen critic. And suddenly life takes a sharp 180-degree turn to the dark side. Waxx begins terrorizing Cubby's family and threatening slow and grisly deaths for each of them. But the seemingly hapless Cubby and his loved ones have more resilience than Waxx realizes—and they are not about to let a crazed, bow-tie-wearing psychopath destroy everything they hold dear. Koontz is working at his pinnacle, providing terrific entertainment that deals seriously with some of the deepest themes of human existence: the nature of evil, the grip of fate and the power of love" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). BUY NOW!!! ========================= book references for marketing plans reading book ar test The Art of Intuition Cultivating Your Inner Wisdom Sophy Burnham Publisher: Penguin Group (USA), February 01, 2011 Review: In The Art of Intuition, Sophy Burnham, author of the bestselling A Book of Angels, shows us how to awaken and strengthen our innate intuitive abilites. Scientists tell us that we use only a fraction of our brains. Sophy suggests that those “sleeping cells” hold the gifts of prophecy and intuition—of healing touch, telepathy, animal communication, seeing into spiritual dimensions, communing with our inner wisdom and the divine mystery. Mystics agree that intuition and higher sense perceptions are the natural by-products of spiritual awakening. In this wise and inspiring guide, Sophy tells the stories of individuals who have "seen without seeing," to illustrate the workings of what she calls our "intuitive hearts." Exploring such topics as how loved ones are able to communicate with one another telepathically to skeptics who deny their power to see into the future, The Art of Intuition is an important spiritual thinker's take on a subject that is vital to us all. According to Sophy, intuition is always right, and when you receive messages from Spirit—be it a subtle impression or a thunderous bolt from the blue—you must always follow the call. So listen carefully…it’s only a heartbeat away.

When Decker investigates, he learns that Adrianna was both a dedicated worker and a party girl whose dangerous indulgences angered her family and friends. Suspicions start heating up when one of her last phone calls announced that she was breaking up with her boyfriend, Garth Hammerling—leaving his womanizing ways behind. And now Garth is missing.

Patton had few equals among Allied warriors. His bravery and leadership earned him a place in military history and popular lore. Legend has it that Patton was not only a hero among U.S. servicemen, but was held in awe by his adversaries. How true is this perception? Fighting Patton examines America’s most famous and highly respected commander of World War II through the eyes of his enemies. Military historian Harry Yeide follows Patton from the pursuit of Pancho Villa in Mexico in 1916 and through World Wars I and II. How might an enemy come to know of and judge Patton as a military adversary? Patton was a fervent believer in leading from the front. An adversary might meet him personally on the battlefield, close enough to look him in the eyes—a rare occurrence in modern warfare, yet that is how a number of soldiers got to know Patton. Drawing on a wealth of new resources, including German reports, unpublished battle accounts, diaries and telephone transcripts, Yeide assesses the general’s actions from the perspectives of a host of enemies. The author challenges several longstanding Patton myths, many from his famous World War II clashes. For example, Yeide reveals that the Germans did not track his movements as the key to Allied intentions. The Germans did not view Patton as a master strategist—as they did Bernard Montgomery and Omar Bradley—but instead in the relatively narrow context of armored commanders (at the same time, they compared him favorably to Erwin Rommel). Some enemy commanders regarded Patton as a respected opponent, largely because of his speed of action. However, others considered him hesitant at key points in the campaigns in Tunisia, Sicily and Lorraine. Additionally, Patton appeared to play second fiddle to British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, whose well-organized, deliberate approach to victory impressed the Germans. Patton was the only American Panzer-General above the division level, whereas among his German contemporaries, he would have had a crowd of company. Roughly ten percent of the German army’s flag-rank commanded panzer units. Fifty-five of these officers remained with the panzer troops for the duration of the war; most rose to the rank of general der panzertruppe. Among this group, Patton probably would have been merely above average, contends Yeide. He cites this as part of the reason the Germans were less impressed by Patton as an overall commander than some American historians would like to believe. The author’s aim is not to detract from Patton’s achievements, but to place them in proper context. Fighting Patton adds a new level of interest to the military career of one of America’s most vaunted generals.
