The NexStar User's Guide di Michael Swanson
A really really excellent book about Celestron Nexstar telescopes. If you have a Celestron, buy this book. I've had my 'scope for 10 years, but, thanks to this book, it is getting a new lease of life. Can't wait for the revised edition to come out later this year. Thanks Michael Swanson for this invaluable guide.

The War State by Michael Swanson is a very interesting book. The premise that the huge Military-Industrial Complex in this country is the result of FDR's need to compromise with big business so as to win WW2 seems very well reasoned and plausible. Swanson is able to back his initial idea with plenty of pertinent facts and then spins off well reasoned theories that explain how we got to where we are today.
The book is written in a blog-like style that is a departure from what you typically find in a history book. This might be due to Swanson being from the field of finance not academic history. In any case, it gives the book a feeling of directness that is usually lacking in history books. Being an academic myself, I found this a mite informal but I suspect most people will like Swanson's approach to history.… (altro)
