Book Description

What is a dangerous man? Most women would answer: one who is physically violent. But abusive behavior is often more insidious. Men who want mothers, not partners, who prey on lonely, passive women, who are mentally ill, addicted, or emotionally unavailable, or who won't go away when asked to leave all fall into this dangerous category. In this book women are encouraged to take responsibility for their own safety, are shown how to choose men wisely, and learn how not to make the same mistake twice. Thirteen chapters cover all the red flags of a dangerous man, offer stories of women's successes and failures dealing with each type, and provide safe ways to get out of a hazardous relationship. Armed with this valuable information, women have the tools they need to cultivate positive and healthy relationships with men.

Wish this book was out years ago! Very good regarding subtle signs (as well as obvious) early in the relationship. Love the Red Alert Checklists.
This is NOT a "man bashing" book, the author invites us to look at ourselves as well. Describes some behaviors that women may have that attract a dangerous man.

5 out of 5 stars How to Spot a Dangerous Man Before you get Involvd.......2007-05-26

This book showed me what I was doing wrong, and it enabled to to avoid other dangerous men - it greatly changed my life. Thanks!

5 out of 5 stars eye opener.......2007-05-19

Sometimes we avoid stress by keeping ourself in the dark....however learn that it takes more energy to move around in the dark than the light. The more we know, the brighter the light...the brighter the light the easier it is not to trip on the trash on the floor. The men have issues...we may as gentle women learn to forgive them spiritually, however their behavior is "Trash" and they are acting as if they do not understand the word "Respect"...they don't. The sad part is...the absolute saddest part is...they don't get it....and you cannot teach a person to have a conscious...reading this book helps the light become bright and your life to be easier rather than more stressful. Once you read this you can identify it is "them" with the problem...and your only problem was "Believing in them" and taking their lies for truth. This book does uncover hurtful truths...however a truth is a truth and is there whether you want to believe it or not.

4 out of 5 stars Yikes! I'm so glad I read this book!.......2007-03-07

If you've ever wondered if you're the "crazy one," or why you seem to attract losers, this is a very insightful book.

This book opened my eyes to what a bad situation I was in, and just how bad it could end up. I always suspected that some of the guys I've dated had mental problems but would talk myself out of it. Now I see how important it is to trust these initial red flags and uneasy feelings. Even if your guy is not pathological, if you've got red flags and discomfort, this book wisely advises you to get out fast and why. The unfortunate thing about these dangerous men is that they are so charming, affectionate, intelligent, and desirable at first, that you are long-since hooked before the creep in them emerges. This book gives practical advice for how to recognize potential issues before you're hooked and his personality has changed.

For anyone who's skeptical, no, I did not think this was a male-bashing book or "any guy could fit into those categories." Not so. It even gives a list of traits to look for when analyzing whether yours is a healthy or unhealthy relationship.

It's a quick read and well worth it.

5 out of 5 stars "Truth is light".......2007-01-28

How to Spot a Dangerous Man is a compelling, forthright, no non-sense book which will help the open-minded reader face her relationship/insecurity (among other things) demons. Ms. Brown not only discusses the how's, the why's, but offers insight on how to stop the madness. I just purchased four additional copies to pass on to my daughters and the workbook for myself.

The fact that professional women, older women, previously hurt women are continually falling for dangerous men is eye-opening. The facts are not to be ignored; IF, you want to do something different.

I highly recommend this book for ALL women; young and old.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome game!!!.......2004-11-23

This game is a great game, if you like the cold war!!!<br /> It has a lot of varieties!!

1 out of 5 stars This book is useless and worthless!.......2003-04-25

I picked this book up when I purchased RA2, and 3 hours after buying it, I returned it. This book is useless for anyone that can play and be successful at a video game. And for those of you who can't, it's called a trainer and it lets you make the game much easier and go by quicker. This is a book is a bomb.

5 out of 5 stars Useful.......2001-10-30

This book was useful to me and, possibly, you in many many ways. First off, walkthroughs for all solo missions and stragy for multiplayer. Second, unit and building reviews. Third, FAQ's and many other secret and helpful pieces of info. Get this book.... It's worth it.

5 out of 5 stars This book is cool!.......2001-06-09

Hey guys, howz everyone doing? Well I brought this book a week or so ago becuase I'm in love with the game, and it really is a good book. Although I've done all the missions several times without the help of the book, it certainly gave me some good tips. If your a RA2 nut like me you won't need the stratigies but they're still fun to read! Colour photos would of been nice but u can't have everythiung I suppose! Cpaw ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5 out of 5 stars An excellent book, like all of Prima's game guides.......2001-04-01

I think I am the only adult who has written a review for this book in the Amazon.com website. I don't think kids would need to read this book because they seem to find out everything about the game just by playing it for hours on end! Well, I enjoy real time strategy games too, but can't afford to spend the same amount of time as my younger colleagues on them. This is where Prima's guide comes in. It provides a quick overview of all the elements of the game, walkthroughs for all the missions, and some general strategy tips, exactly what is needed in a 3rd party manual. It is well-indexed too so I can find what I need quickly. The manual is fairly small, but this is because the game is not so deep as some others, like Age of Kings for example.

Book Description

The inspiration for Dr. Strangelove! In the late-'50s post-nuclear war tradition, Peter George's (Peter Bryant's) tale of men struggling to get the bomb off took quite a turn before reaching the screen. Still, it's the author's best-known work, and at one George was hired by Kubrick to transfer his work to celluloid. First published 1958.

2 out of 5 stars Good Story, Terrible Printing.......2007-08-23

I have just started reading the novel but am having trouble finishing it. The story itself is actually quite good. I like the author's style more than anything but this edition of the novel is the most unprofessional book I have ever read. I am not even half way through it and have found more spelling errors than one could believe. Judging by the numerous whole-word replacements like, "...truth [trust] no one..." and "... 200 miles from the short [shore]..." and whole word omissions, it seems that the novel was written on Microsoft Word. There are also time conflicts with confusion between a.m. and p.m. and events that must have taken place after other events given a time before those events.
I myself am a terrible speller and usually read right over such mistakes, but these are so numerous and so obvious that I cringe thinking about all those I missed. They are a distraction to the story and show the poor quality of the editorial staff.
If you can find an earlier printing of this book, buy that copy. So far, it is worth the read, but not the frustration.

5 out of 5 stars A great story well written. Must read........2007-03-05

Red Alert (originally published as Two Hours to Doom in Gt Britain) is an excellent book: gripping, tense, written in good, economical, and forceful language, and (to this very civilian layman, at least) marvellously realistic. I can see why Stanley Kubrick bought the film rights to this little novel: its storyline alone is well worth the price of admission, and with Kubrick and Terry Southern's collective imagination working it up to the screenplay for Dr. Strangelove, it could not miss as a film. Peter Bryant/Peter George did exceedingly well with this book and it remains an excellent read. My only criticism is that the current edition issued for sale has not been sufficiently proofread and edited: there are some typos and omitted words in the text. If the present publishers would amend these minor flaws, this little book would be that much better to read, very good as it is anyway. The Cold War may be over, but this story set in the late 1950s is still a cracking good read. Nothing like a thoroughly good and credible Cold-war thriller to fire the imagination and to get the blood racing. A five-star+ rating.

5 out of 5 stars Intentions of the enemy group!.......2006-07-25

This book places the reader at the center of the Cold War as it becomes hot.
Taut prose, suspense and written by someone with a military assessment background.
this book makes "Failsafe" look like a exercise of Fith graders.

1 out of 5 stars Build lots of tanks.......2002-01-29

Did you read the title to this review? Good, now you don't need to buy the official RA strategy guide - that's all the good advice it offers, other than absurdly obvious things like "Don't kill the friendly medic" and "Avoid the flame turrets".

If the whole guide was full of examples like those two, it might be worth buying for amusement factor. But no. Those 240 pages aren't just awful, they're uncreatively awful. The mission walkthroughs give you no specific strategies and are indistinguishable except for the maps.

This book also has pep talk. "Give 'em hell, commander comrade comrade commander." This is a STRATEGY GUIDE for crying out loud! I don't want to hear about how we need to give 110% and there's no I in Team. But then, since there isn't much offered in the way of good tactics, maybe this guide could be seen as a self help book rather than a guide.

The list of units and structures was copied from the instruction manual, unchanged except for:

-the addition of unit stats that would be useful except they're incomplete
-the insertion of the phrase "eh, comrade?" in key places
-larger font and spacing

Okay, the maps. The maps aren't bad (I don't see why people want them in color; it would be pretty, sure, but would make the book cost three times as much and wouldn't help any). I liked the maps because I got to see what was going on in all those areas you aren't able to explore (aha! so there was a bunch of snow there!) and because I got to see the computer's starting forces (not that that's useful, I just liked to see them). They also had some use in forming my own strategies.

This is the worst strategy guide I ever read. The best strategy guide I ever read, somewhat ironically, is the unofficial RA guide, superior to this one in every respect except for the maps.

3 out of 5 stars Reasonably good, could have been better.......2000-03-18

As gaming guide for bellaonline.com, I spend a good portion of my time testing games and reading the strategy guides to see if I missed anything. I *love* Red Alert as a game, but this book doesn't quite do justice to it. The maps they give you are pretty hideous, and the descriptions they give of the solutions to missions are often extremely vague. I realize it's hard to do a walkthrough for a game like this, but there are usually methods that work very well for a mission, and they simply don't give you those details. The first 60 pages are wasted on troop reviews! I like their tip system, and feel they were on the right track ... they just didn't quite get there.

            Book Description

            After the devastation and horror of Hurricane Katrina, local and federal authorities stated that they cannot help everyone during a natural disaster, flu pandemic, or bioterrorist attack, so individuals must be able to help themselves. Will you be prepared? Do you know your proposed evacuation route, or how long you can survive in your house?

            Red Alert: Becoming Self-Sufficient for the Next Bioterrorist Attack and Flu Pandemic provides details to help you plan for the next catastrophe. It also breaks down the exact threats likely to occur, and includes an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide to becoming self-sufficient within twelve weeks to survive the next pandemic or bioterrorist attack. Red Alert includes sections on home emergency kits, plans for pets, and facts about the most likely epidemics and pandemics.

            Politicians and scientific experts have said not to wonder whether these attacks will occur, but when. With Red Alert, you can develop a response plan. Don't wait another moment-be prepared!

Booty's edition of The Book of Common Prayer, 1559, first published by the University Press of Virginia for the Folger Shakespeare Library in 1976 and long out of print, is now being reissued in the same handsome format as the original edition. In her foreword to the 2005 reissue, Judith Maltby writes, "It is difficult to overemphasize the importance of the 1559 Prayer Book. . . . Shakespeare was clearly shaped by a culture in which the vernacular was remarkably vigorous."

            Booty's text derives from a rare copy of the Elizabethan Prayer Book printed by Richard Jugge and John Cawode in 1559, now part of the Josiah Benton Collection of the Boston Public Library. Booty modernized spelling and punctuation, but took care not to distort the style and cadence of the Elizabethan text. To place the Prayer Book in its original cultural setting, he wrote a lengthy critical essay that traces the book's history and use during the sixteenth century. Helpful bibliographical notes enable readers to appreciate all the nuances of particular services and their contents. Particularly useful are the general index and the index of biblical passages, features unavailable in other editions of the Prayer Book.

            Through this magnificent document one begins to understand not only the Anglican church but also the Elizabethan culture in which Shakespeare lived, for this was one of the books that helped shape Renaissance England in all of its vitality and greatness. As Booty reminds the reader in his preface, each Sunday "in the parish churches and in the cathedrals the nation was at prayer, the commonwealth was being realized, and God, in whose hands the destinies of all were lodged, was worshiped in spirit and in truth."

            3 out of 5 stars It's pretty.......2007-05-27

            This is a beautiful hard-back edition of a book you can get for fifty cents. the language therein is gorgeous, but save your money and find a cheaper edition elsewhere.

            5 out of 5 stars The unbroken chain..........2004-07-26

            The Book of Common Prayer is the core of the Anglican identity. Since 1662, the standard bearer has been the primary Book of Common Prayer used by the Church of England; however, there have been many variations and developments, both supplemental liturgies and entire, new 'Books of Common Prayer' among daughter churches throughout the world. However, the 1662 Book of Common Prayer was itself the product of over a hundred years of development in the theological and worship life of the Church of England. Never was that development as varied and controversial as during the period between Henry VIII's break from Rome, through his Protestant successor Edward (or rather, through Edward's officials), back to the Roman Catholic Mary, and then to the Elizabethan period, in which a via media was attempted of sorts.

            The 1559 Prayer Book was not the first; there were two predecessors -- one in 1549, and another in 1552, both done during Edward VI's brief boyhood reign. At this time, the Protestants who had been held back by Henry gained ascendancy, only to lose it again in 1553 when the young king died unexpectedly, and the people rallied to the Roman Catholic Mary, who reinstituted the Latin Missal and Breviary, used until her death in 1558, when the Protestant Elizabeth ascended the throne. The 1559 Book of Common Prayer is a revision of the 1552, only slightly, but given that the unbroken continuity of the Book of Common Prayer's usage dates from this book, it makes sense to be a significant text for study.

            Elizabeth was a Protestant-Humanist, very much a character of the age, and this sentiment is reflected in the text of the Book of Common Prayer. However, the English have long been a traditional lot, and the similarities of English liturgies to Roman Catholic predecessors (particularly when compared with many continental forms of Protestantism) is no mistake. Indeed, Puritans would view the book as still too 'popish'. The Book of Common Prayer was long an instrument of state (indeed, it still is, in legal theory) and as such had more than just a theological significance. And, as an instrument of the state that was not always obeyed, sometimes the book was more honoured in the breech than in the observance.

            Anglican scholar John Booty edited this edition based upon published by Richard Jugge and John Cawode in 1559. It is housed in the Boston Public Library (Booty gives history of the text and its provenance). Booty describes the variations in texts from the time, minor additions and subtractions, some of which were incorporated here, and others not. Booty did correct typographical errors and modernise spelling and punctuation to a minor degree (unfortunately, for the scholarly, often without note, unless the modern spelling changes pronunciation). Some of these are to conform to English standards that did not come into practice until the advent of the Authorised Version of the Bible (King James) in 1611.

            In addition to the text of the Book of Common Prayer, Booty includes an interesting 50-page essay on the history of this version of the BCP, a good selection of notations, a reasonable bibliography (alas, out-of-date, but good up to its time), and a biblical index. The text incorporates actual rubrics ('rubric' has the old meaning of 'red print', which is so printed in this text, the notes of practice and ritual around the words). Those who follow Book of Common Prayer liturgies in their own churches will be intrigued with the similarities and the differences. Christians of other denominations will be interested in the borrowings and the variations. Historians will find this useful in many ways.

            A worthy text.

            5 out of 5 stars Elizabethan Prayer Book 1559.......2000-03-31

            This book is a valuable resource for all Anglicans, depicting the change back to BCP after the reign of Queen 'Bloody' Mary. Much is unchanged from the 1549 and 1552 editions, however there are some subtle differences, particularly in thought. This was the book which led to the more popular 1662 version, which is the basis of liturgy for the Anglican Communion.
