A stark and revealing insight into the banality of evil
Ably translated by Carol Scherer and edited by Karl Schleunes, Legislating The Holocaust: The Bernhard Loesener Memoirs And Supporting Documents is the direct, recorded testimony of Bernhard Loesener. This is the man who personally drafted much of the legislation that disenfranchised and dehumanized the Jews of Nazi Germany. He also kept the minutes of inter-ministerial conferences concerned with the "Jewish Question." In 1950, Bernhard Loesener penned a memoir in which he sought to explain and justify his actions, as well as professing his horror of the Final Solution to which he so thoroughly and directly contributed. First published in 1961, Loesener's memoir has never appeared in English until now. Also included are an introduction and lengthy notes by editor Karl A. Schleunes, as well as Loesener's testimony before the Nuremberg Tribunal. An invaluable contribution to Holocaust studies and reference collections, Legislating The Holocaust is a stark and revealing insight into the banality of evil, and the bureaucratic mechanics of facilitating mass murder. ...

The Best Book About New Haven Ever Written
Anthony Riccio captures the love , the sorrows, the hardships and the industrial and political life of New Haven in a way that no one before him has.How and why the Italians left the old world of a cruel Italy , an Italy only for the wealthy, is made patently clear in this book.The advantages and opportunities offered by a New America were varied and plentiful. Fortunately the Italian immigrant came here with an important work ethicand a desire for a family life which was rich in expectations and ambitions.Life was not easy for the first generation, but they 'made it' as we say in America.Theirchildren achieved in the 1st 100 years in America what others took generations to do.Anthony allows the storytellers to say things in their own words so that the full flavor of their New Haven experience would be felt and understood by the readers. Anthony Riccio adds his own scholarly touch to the preface and to the beginnings of each and every chapter. The book is both a scholarly and authentic documentary of the Italian people who made a significant contribution to the growth and development of New Haven.They are an inspiration to all of what it takes to be successful . Read the book. If you read nothing else all year, this is the book to read.

A brilliantly written and highly recommended work that is as entertaining as it is informative
The Italian American Experience In New Haven: Images And Oral Histories by Anthony Riccio (Stacks Manager at the Sterling Memorial Library at Yale University) draws upon personal interviews as well as family and archival photographs to present a richly complex and fully realized history of the life and experiences of Italian immigrants who settled in New Haven, Connecticut in the 19th and 20th centuries. Not only is the daily pulse of life in the Italian-American community revealed in the life stories of ordinary men and women, the reader will discover how this immigrant community was affected by such landmark events as the Spanish Flu pandemic, the Great Depression, and World War II. Also revealed are the hardships of Italian immigrant women who labored under terrible (and often hazardous) conditions in New Haven's shirt factories. The integrations of historic photographs with the reported interviews transform The Italian American Experience In New Haven from just another ethnic American history into a compelling social history showcasing a vibrant, vigorous, colorful community. The result is a brilliantly written and highly recommended work that is as entertaining as it is informative.

the best
It's a very comprehensive book and the tips it gives are really great and deal with real life. The LORs and interview sections are marvellous. The author hasan indeed deep understanding of the successful application process for a residency in the U.S. What might miss from this book: maybe how can IMGs find an observership in the U.S for which he/she wouldn't have to pay, just like it is possible in Europe!
The best IMG book in the market
This is THE book for IMGs. Forget first aid and others. Nobody explains the finer details, the minutae that can enhance your competitiveness better than Anagh Vora. The book is a truly outstanding read and will help the readers in the process of obtaining a US residency.
It's about time!!!
I would swear and curse with joy, but I shall hold back!

US Immigration Made Easy
This book has been invaluable in dealing with my family's immigration needs.

Dull and disappointing
I bought this book because I am an investor in REITS and wanted to get a deeper insight into comparing different REITs to find the best ones to invest in. I wanted to be able to read the balance sheets of several different REITs and decide which is the better investment. This book left me bored and no further forward.
An excellent overview of the REIT Industry
The book provided an insightful overview of the REIT industry. The book was organized by various topics relating to investing and managing a REIT. The chapters were written by practioners and academics working in thedifferent REIT industry areas. The authors were able to provide vitalinsights into their areas of expertise. As a new REIT employee I learnedabout the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for my company andthe REIT industry as a whole. some of the chapters were a bit technical innature; particularly the analysis on historical private verses public REITreturns. Overall the book should be required reading for REIT investors andManagers as well. ... Read more

Fairly good - Not excellent
I just took a college level class in which we used this book as the textbook.There is a lot of good information inside which provides a good introduction to the novice on how the process of collective bargaining works.It begins with the history of how it started and continues through the specific issues that collective bargaining entails.There is even a copy of the National Labor Relations Act in the back of the book.
Great Book
Great book for the novice negotiator or student.Current, easy to read, practical examples.

Concise & complete
The authors provide a complete & concise discussion of the process of collective bargaining within a general labor relations context. Many, current cases, tips from experts, and historical references help present the concepts. A solid text for the novice negotiator or interested student. ... Read more

Simple and straightforward - includes CD with forms!
This book (6th edition) has taken a BIG weight off of my mind regarding writing a will.My husband and I currently don't have a will (and apparently have lots of company - reportedly 60% of Americans don't have wills), but I am in the process of changing that with the reassuring help of this book.
Will writing is easy.
I bought this book mostly because I wanted my daughter in the right hands if something were to happen to both my husband and I.Peace of mind knowing that she will indeed end up with the people we select is worth a million and we didn't to have to spend much money to set this up.This book is great to have your wishes put down so everything is distributed how you want it.Much more convenient then going to a lawyer and saves you a lot of money.

Editorial Review

By now the whory notion of doing a tell-all book about your boss, the President, is a hoary one too. (It dates back to Ike, who got the treatment from one of his doctors.)But with this book, the Clinton administration breaks new ground by being on the receiving end of a kiss-and-sell from a member of the White House Read more

Why the Oval office is oval?
As pure geometry, the oval stands alone as the symbol that is neither square nor round as symbolic of the delicacy of the Presidency and its impact upon the world.
If you don'twant your bubble busted about the Clinton years, don't read this.
As a career FBI officer, Gary Aldrich was at the pinnacle of his career.Having served with Pres. Reagan and Bush, he found the Clinton Administration to be a stark, horrible contrast.
Corruption in the White House, Eyewitness Account.
Mr. Gary Aldrich was a solid FBI man for thrity years, the last five as Special Agent.When he was near retirement age, he accepted the White House position in charge of checking background on all White House appointees.He was privy to an enormous amount of classified information, but he had experience and knew how to keep his mouth shut.He thought ti would be a gentle, dignified way to close his government career.This time, he was wrong big time.
