sobek Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Moschytz/Hofbauer - Adaptive Filters, not something i'd recommend unless you're into signal processing. ;) Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
mvsgas Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) I thought it was time to build up a Thread in which we can share our Experience in case of Books. I have read a lot....but i must confess that the Books about the WW2 (especially the personal accounts) are the most interesting for me! Lots of books references here http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=44435&highlight=book Last book I read was "Biggest Brother" the Life of Major Dick Winters Edited June 17, 2011 by mvsgas To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

arriflex Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival by John Vaillant This book on the Amur Tiger was remarkable. An amazing story that covers so much ground- the story of a series of fatal attacks on humans by a single tiger in siberia is the anchor for a journey through our relationship with the animals around us, as hunter and prey, and the ecological fallout of that relationship. The information on the amur tiger itself, and the intelligence of the animal is striking. You gain insight into these amazing, yet terrible animals. All at once you learn to love their beauty as the epitome of the region's food chain, but fear the mind and intentions of something so dangerous that we cannot communicate with. This review doesn't do it justice, but the interview with the author is good. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2010/09/the-exchange-john-vaillant-on-the-siberian-tiger.html

Namenlos Ein Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 The last book I read in English was Chickenhawk by Robert Mason because I didn't like its Russian translation Tsyplyonok i Yastreb (“Chicken and Hawk”) by Andrey Lamtyugov.
