GREAT BOOK.......2007-02-13

Liddy does a great job in letting you know not only what's at jeopardy but why.He spells out what a terrorist will strike,and how and why a terrorist will go after certain things.It's not a matter of if terrorist will strike,but when and where.

Disappointing.......2006-08-22

I'm a fan of G. Gordon Liddy but this book offers nothing that hasn't been written elsewhere. I was very surprised how basic and rudimentary the information in this book is considering the authors experience.

I would pass on this one. Unless you know absolutely nothing about security you won't pick up any new information from this book.

Redundant, yes, but required.......2006-08-21

I've read some of the reviews and I picked up on a couple of themes: 1) Redundant information, available on the web; and, 2) designed for CEOs.

Both can be true if you limit the information that way, but I'd ask two questions.
How many people have read http://ready.gov?
How many people are aware that the same situational awareness that applies to CEOs applies to all of us?

This book doesn't claim to be the "be all, end all" of personal security or define everything applicable to everyone, as is evidenced by bibliography and references. It defines threats, backgrounds and considerations for personal preparedness. It suggests that we are the first responders for our own personal safety, suggests the same prudent recommendations apply to non-CEOs, and provides appropriate responses to known threats.

My only regret is that practice is not stressed as much as awareness. Shelter in place covers what is required, but does not seem to stress the drill. How long will it take you to seal off? Did you miss anything? What personal modifications for shelter in place do you need? How long does it take you to accomplish this? What did you miss the first time you tried?

If you don't practice, you won't know until it counts. That's too late.

Terrorism ain't just for CEOs anymore. This book has excellent information not covered in the press, prudent responses, and prudent preparations. My only suggestion is practice. It enables personal adaptation of the information provided.

Not as Strident as I Expected.......2006-06-20

This book is written in a tone that's surprisingly mild without a heavy dose of panic. It is rather factual in nature making some rather fundamental comments about personal security. Many of these, removing tree branches that might be used to allow entry to your house through an upstairs window, clearing shrubs from around your house, keeping a battery powered radio (with fresh batteries) around make good sense where there are terrorists involved or not.

The first half of the book on knowing how terrorists organize, think, and act is quite interesting. He also discusses several organizations, some of which (Al Qaida) pose a definite threat to the US, some (Hamas) haven't operatee in the United States, some (Black Panthers) are basically defunct.

One thing that I was expecting because of the title was a recommendation to keep a gun at home. Out here in the west everybody (nearly) has a gun. I was surprised at this knowing a little about Liddy's reputation.

There are a couple of errors in the book. For instance there is a comment about using duct tape to seal your house. He says that FEMA recommends tape that has a minimum of ten millimeters (0.01 in). Ten millimeters is nearly a half inch. That's pretty thick for tape.

A final comment. Much in this book is good advice. It makes sense if there is a terrorist threat or simply a hurricane like Katrina. On the other hand, to concentrate on the terrorist threat doesn't make all that much sense. 9/11 killed about 3,000 people. That's about how many people are killed each and every month by driving accidents. But a book on driving accidents wouldn't be of much interest.

I found it geared more toward CEO's of large corporations that need protection rather that the common individual.

El Pingüino Pedro.......2000-06-24

As a 1st-2nd grade bilingual teacher, I find the pictures in this book very captivating for young children. The translation to Spanish by José Moreno is excellent. However, some of the vocabulary words might be a little difficult for even some fluent Spanish speaking 2nd graders to read. I think this would be a good book to read to small children out loud or for 3rd graders to read on their own.

The fact that penguins live in the Antartic region and that other migrating birds travel in this story would fit in well with a geography lesson or theme.

Book Description

Tacky's an odd bird, or Penguin rather, who likes to do splashy cannonballs and greet his companions with a loud "What's happening?" In fact, he's something of an eccentric, which wouldn't be a problem if all the other penguins weren't such . . . conformists. In their usual zany style, Lester and Munsinger demonstrate the problems and advantages of being an individual. Now in Spanish, Tacky is perfect for children learning Spanish and for Spanish-speaking children.

El Pinguino Tacky-Spanish Version of Tacky the Penguin.......2006-08-31

This book was suggested to me by my PhD advisor as a good book to use with the Spanish-speaking children in my study about bilingual reading. The book is nicely translated and fun to read. The illustrations caught my kids' attention and the storyline is witty and funny. I am glad to find a good translation of an English-language original book and I'm looking forward to more high quality publications in Spanish like this one.

Be yourself.......2006-01-30

My son is 4. Simple sentences easy to understand. Helps to explain we can be different, have our own personality. No need to always follow everybody's rules. My son loves it and ME TOO !
