Customer Review:
The aproach to modeling and the clear, sistematic but rich and rigourous presentation by Weir and Giordano is magnific. You work through all Differential equations, but all the time learning on how to use them as modeling tools of reallity. It has also a solutions manual.

Customer Review:
Each chapter focuses on a different environmental problem, and reveals the various ways in which it can influence a battle's outcome.

I agree with the first reviewer that this is one of the most refreshingly new ways at looking at a very studied battle.

Connecting the Dots

 

In comedy is found truth.  Between the pages of this tongue-in-cheek thriller about good guys and bad guys and CIA and the FBI and terrorists are found clues to the processes used to connect the dots and route out terrorists.  The reader has to connect his/her own dots to figure out truth from fiction.

 

If you like Dave Barry or Carl Hiassen you might like this novel and its story might linger in the right hemisphere of your brain.
