Joe Philip's Review
I really liked this book of the way it is written for easy understanding and examples. Also the author is very helpful in adding more insights into the various topics and even to the extent of communicating with one on one. I really recommend this book to any programmer.

Much better than the user manual shipped with the product
Excellent book - does not waste words and full of useful code examples.

Great primer for the beginning CVI developer
I found the book a must have when you begin with CVI.It should be on your shelf right above your PC while you are on your 5th can of coke digging in code at 3 am.I was very pleased that the author responded back to my tech e_mail.He is a class guy. Thank you, Mr. Khalid ... Read more

Good Book.
THis is a wonderful book. So many photographs telling his life story. This is a must book fro any person who likes history.

Mislead
I purchased this book after hearing about Hans Ulrich Rudel some years ago, I actually thought the book was going to be a full story about the man, but the book has mainly photo's so aout five the photo's rate a 5/5 but the biography 2/5

A Great Historical Account Tarnished
I found this book to be both facinating and detailed. Rudel's bravery and skill can not be debated. I came away from the book with a better understanding of how and why the Germans fought. Rudel writes effectively that the German fighting man was fighting for his family and country--not the ideals of the Nazi party and derived his courage from his comrades. Towards the end of the war, he claimed to have known nothing of the Nazi attrocities that were committed upon the Jews and many other ethnic groups.

Good Overview
This book provides a good overview of air permitting and good explanations of many of the issues involved. I don't think it "...shows facility air quality managers, regulatory agency staff, and consultants how to prepare permit applications for Title V Federal Operating Permits or for New Source Review (NSR)or Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) perrmits for new or modified sources of air pollutant emissions, and how to comply with permits obtained." The differences between different facilities and states are too great for one book to do all that. Most books providing advice about air permitting imagine the reader is working for some "Mega-firm" with a team of eager co-workers. They might prove more useful if they focused on the poor guy locked alone in a room with six inches of forms and a bad calculator. Still, Leonard knows his material and provides many useful insights into the permit process.He writes clearly, has organized his material well and does a better job with a huge topic than any other book I have found.

This is a great book on Air Quality Permitting in the U.S.
I used this book last year, as a text book in a class at UCLA that Iteach.I am also using it this year.The book was very well received bythe students.I found it very useful to teach from, and as a referencebook.It is the only book of its kind, as far as I know.Thanks, Leon! ... Read more

An excellent appraisal of the original TBDs.
David Lyon writes an interesting book, and reproduces about as much as is possible on the elements in the rapid development of the English TBD. The gaps in this work are caused by the gaps in the Royal Navy records, not byDavid Lyon. I look forward to successors to this work. ... Read more

Lucky to own!
I was very lucky to purchase this book from Brian Shul in person What else can be said???
The other reviews say all: THIS BOOK IS FANTASTIC!!!!!

For love of Blackbird and country
If Brian Shul could ever hope to match the masterful style of Sled Driver, I believe he has done it with this book. All Brian's books are wonderful, but there is space reserved in my heart for reading about the wildperformance of the SR-71. With help from his backseater, the tech reps,engineers and various others, he has succeeded in lofting us again to 80000feet at mach 3.5, this time across Qaddafi's Line of Death for a veryspecial mission, which only the Blackbird could complete with impunity.Filled with great photography and a teriffic story, this one has found aplace of honor in my library to be read again and again. ...

Excellent aircraft history
A "must read" for anyone who appreciates the F-8 (or wants to) or just loves military aviation.A thorough history of this amazing airplane and those who flew it through a collection of great first-hand fighter pilot's stories. Some are told from the author's own experience and many more from other Crusader pilots interviewed by the author. For example: John Glenn's record-breaking flight in his own words, along with many accounts of Vietnam MiG encounters.I loved this book and plan on reading much more by this author.

I Cannot Recommend This Book Highly Enough
This is a fantastic collection of pilot's stories dealing with the"Last of the Gunfighters" the Vought F-8 Crusader.Rear AdmiralPaul T Gillcrist has 2000 hours of Crusader time and his impressiveknowledge and affection for the aircraft is very apparent throughout. Thefirst part of the book arms the reader with background knowledge of earlyjet carrier operations as well as the story of Crusader speed records. Thebulk of the book deals with the experiences, both harrowing and amusing, ofnumerous Crusader pilots including fascinating interviews with each pilotto shoot down a MiG in the aircraft.The final chapters give the author'sexpert analysis of the air war in Vietnam, and an overview of the use ofthe aircraft by the French Navy, the Naval Reserve and NASA. The book doesnot suffer from the shortfall of other books in that it is very skilfullywritten so that a layman can imagine theirself in the thick of the action.After reading this book you are left with a great respect for the men ofthe US Navy and Marine Corps who flew and fought in the Crusader andoperated the aircraft from small aircraft carriers. As a commercial pilot Ican only wonder how I would cope with landing a Mach2 airplane on a smallheaving 27C carrier deck at night. To these men it was routine. Anyone whois remotely interested in aviation will find this book a great asset totheir collection and I cannot recommend it highly enough ... Read more

Very Good Manual
Except for having to jump around to find things, I was able to rebuild my Johnson 110 hp motor with it and it runs great. This is the first time I ever tried to do this and without the manual, I would have been lost. There were a few things that I had to figure out myself, but all in all this manual helped a great deal. I would recomment it to those wishing to try it as I did.

erinrude/johnson outboard shop manual 48-235 hp, 1973 1990
Typical of Clymer outboard manuals-I have found this manual very useful.I'm not that mechanical and I appreciate the manual's attention to detail and for the numerous pictures and diagrams.

My opinion
I feel the book was written ok...just OK. I feel the biggest problem is that its too broad. Just when you are finally figuring out what your reading... its about the wrong engine size or year. I will have to admitthat its probably as good as its going to get for a repair manual notbought from the dealer. Bottom line good for info, just not for a rebuild ... Read more

Or how to BUILD a Cruising Sailboat?
I eagerly added this book to my wish list based on it's title and found that what was inside the book was less about selecting your ideal cruising sailboat than it was about selecting a custom design, or perhaps directing the construction of your custom dream boat.
A good book about sailboat design
I was looking for a book that would help me select a cruising sailboat, as the title suggested. This is really a book about sailboat design and design features that must be considered for different types of cruising. The book was very interesting in terms of boat design, as it lays out the "design thinking" and use-specific features in the design of five different boat types. Because we already know exactly what sort of cruising we intend to do, this book didn't get us very much further down the "choosing a boat" path. It is, however, useful in terms of helping evaluate used boats and their design features based on the important features of his "model" designs. This book will educate, but won't necessarily help you choose from the wide range of used boats that are out there. The Used Boat Guide "from the pages of Sailing Magazine" is an excellent choice if that's the sort of help you're looking for. I give it three stars only because the title is a bit misleading - a better title might be "Choosing the Right Cruising Sailboat DESIGN".

Choosing a Cruising Sailboat???
My review is simply that this book was mis-titled. It should have read Designing a Cruising Sailboat not Choosing. It speaks less of real boats and more about 4-5 mythical boats of which the author walks you through the design process of.If you've got lots of cash and want to see your custom design come to life this book may be for you.The author even goes so far as to say that proper boat maintenance starts when you visit your boat builder while your boat is being built and blah blah...at this point I considered the book a loss. ...

Great photography, broad sweep of history, but uninspiring prose.
This is a very nice, broad look at lots of cockpit interiors and aircraft exteriors. It's not as good as Nijboer and Patterson's Cockpits of the Cold War, but I found the pictures very clear and devoid of the overly-dramatic (and obscuring) artsy-fartsy photography typical of aviation history books.
Get in the Cockpit and Fly

Excellent technical manual
This has tons of great information about the repair and maintenance, though the pictures are dated and not all close enough to see the details of what is being illustrated.I would recommend this for the weekend hobby person to skilled mechanic to assist in any work on this model of outboard.

not good for beginners
I found the text to be very unclear for inexperienved mechanics.The instructions say things like "remove the middle and outer cowlings"without explaining what the cowlings are.The picture associated with the instruction step then just shows a picture of the motor without identifying the part in question.
Too broad
Overall not a bad book, found it to be very general in a few key area; this would be due to such a large range of models covered.Next time I may look at the OEM manual; for a comparission. ... Read more

simply great
this one is simple. if you work or are interested in old school wood boats,,then you must have this book on your shelf.
Don't let my three star rating turn you away from this book.
Don't let my three star rating turn you away from this book.It is well written, complete in every sense of the word and well illustrated.I gave it three stars because I found other books on this subject to be more readable and easier to use as a guide and reference.This is a text book style work and it has a great place in all the books on boatbuilding.It is a fine work, but then, I must ask you, how many fine books can there be?What if I said that this was yet another fine boat building book...then what?This book makes a wonderful reference.It makes an excellent text book.It is useful if you have more than two people working on a hull (one to read aloud and the other to work).But it is not an easy, cook book on boat building.I recommend it, But there are other books out there that are better sources of information for the home builder.

What About the Designs?
I agree with the other (positive) reviewers--not an easy read, but well worth the investment in time.My favorite part of the book, though, has not been mentioned.Mr. Chapelle includes a number of sample designs--wonderful classics from a rowing peapod to a large commercial fishing boat.If you have some solid boat building experience, the plans are complete enough to build from, with a little eyestrain.For historical purposes, these designs complement those in American Small Sailing Craft, another worthwhile book by H.I. Chapelle.There is also an interesting, though too brief, section on choosing a design. ... Read more
