Review # 1 was written on 2019-05-22 00:00:00 John Brady (I had a paper edition, not an eBook). Pick this up to read on vacation. I wanted to look at it again and a number of years. I first looked at it with the idea of using it in a course I was teaching. And the book was just as good now as then. The first parts of the book are clearly stronger. In the final two chapters it gets a bit fuzzier. But. maybe that's what happens as we approach the present day. There were also a number of sections that felt to be simply cut-and-paste inserted. No connection to the other themes going through the book. The sections I'm thinking about deal with work stress (no mention of burnout as a concept and the inclusion of stress research from Sweden) and the clinical side of stress (very little discussion here). Still an interesting book.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-07-29 00:00:00 Tom Barnett I love Submarines and this book is not about a particular war or anything else. it is about how Subs evolved, were used, and created. However don't look for anything but what it says in the title. I love this book.
