Small Gas Engine Repair
This book is very in-depth.From beginning to end it describes types of engines, troubleshooting,and individual engine components or systems.The book is certainly not a book for someone that does not already have aworking knowledge of engines.The tech information and drawings are veryconfusing.There is little doubt that Mr. Dempsey knows all about enginerepair.It is not a book for the average person that wants to learn torepair a lawn mower.If the author's intention was to provide a teachingtext--in my opinion, he missed the mark. ...

Interesting potential
A fascinating book about a topic that not too many years ago was regarded akin to snake oil. At one point, all that was known about this subject was anecdotal. And since events like earthquakes occur irregularly, it was hard for researchers to systematically study this phenomenon. Read more

Excellent writing, well researched, very relevant
Lutz Kleveman's book "The New Great Game" explores the exciting world of money, oil, war, and political intrigue that is modern Central Asia. The title is a reference to the grandiose chess-like struggle between Russia and Britain for control over Central Asia in the 19th century, where possession of bountiful, empire-making India was at stake. In that time period, rogues and renegades, politicians and emmisaries, viceroys and emirs all charted out an extravagant drama that contributed immeasurably to the course of history. Kleveman argues "The Great Game" is far from over: there are new players and new stakes in the New Great Game of the 21st century.
Plus ça change...
In the past Great Game, canny potentates, shahs and princes played Tsarist Russia and Imperial Britain one off the other through a series of proxy wars, treaties, and backdoor politicking that went on well into the twentieth century.Now, although the sun has set on the British Raj, the stakes are higher, and Russia and her "federation" continue to wheedle and deal, this time with oil as the prize. New players, namely the US and China, have stepped into the game, and the Game has escallated into more than just a few stray spies skulking through the Hindu Kush.
Travelogue on Central Asia, Oil, and Conflict
Reading this book is an easy way to learn about Central Asia through the first-hand impressions of an intrepid journalist.Lutz Kleveman travels through dangerous countries, interviews ministers, ambassadors, and business executives, and also gathers impressions from men and women in the street.The themes of this narrative center on the rich oil and natural gas resources of the region, the prevalence of corruption, bad government, and ethnic tension, and the conflicting strategic interests of the US, Russia, China, and Iran.
