Review title: Stunning grasp of the obvious Product review: This book displays a stunning grasp of the obvious. Beyond its plans for some not very interesting do-it-yourself projects, it offers little--trite advice like "Spending time alone with yourself is an important feature of reflection" accompanied by an unsatisfying collection of photos. Books like The Japanese House, Simply Zen, and Japanese Style do a much better job of presenting the Zen aesthetic.

Product review: This book treats chess as treating science, just as Nimzowitch's "My System". It is definitely a monograph. Some definitions are given first, then some theorems (or general idea) are proved through examples and some exceptions are also shown. I don't deny it is an instructive and helpful book, but reading over 300 pages of dry words is a tantamount job to most readers. However, after reading the excellent review by other people here, I decide to give another try. The point is: study hard and dig deep!!

Review title: How it was Product review: Ron Flesch's Redwood Delta is a well-written account of his and his compatriots' experiences in Vietnam in 1965 and early 1966. The attention to detail is reminiscent of Tim O'Brien's "The Things They Carried", and the matter-of-fact writing style in Flesch's first book seems to bare his soul, but in the words of an almost dispassionate observer. A non-fiction account of their experiences, it is a refreshing and terrifying tale of the Marine platoon's daily life and death in the early years of America's combat troops' involvement in the Viet Nam conflict. I recommend it for students of the Viet Nam era, and for veterans who care to understand the early development of America's role in the war.
