Marquand laid in ; The history of a single hour in the life of a soldier on the morning of a Pacific Island invasion. ; "Mr. Bowman out of his own experience as a military engineer in the southwest Pacific theater has written a different and unusual book that can stand on its own merits. It is a book with a very broad appeal for its pages give a picture of the thoughts and fears common to everyone who has ever worn a uniform no matter what role heroic or otherwise he may have played in war. Beach Red may be called a pre-view to action rather than a realistic record. It can best be interpreted as a study of all the things that run through a soldier's mind during days of training or on lonely nights in barracks or aboard a transport going East or West. And it reveals the seldom confessed truth--that everyone who goes to war lives through a thousand battles and dies a thousand deaths.Its style which is split prose rather than verse has the staccato flow of introspective thought."--essay ; Signature of John Ransom Lewis the Poet Laureate of Georgia on the front endpaper ; G New York : Random House, 1945. hardcover

Even the simplest pedigree knot the trefoil with its three roughly symmetrical lobes has mathematical as well as artistic beauty. For the religious Kind Solomon's knot is said to embody the essence of all knowledge. For carpet makers and cloth weavers all over the world the challenge of the knot lies in the rules of its surprises. Knots can change but they must be well-behaved. An informal knot is a messy knot. Louise and I were held by a single loop of love. The cord passing round our bodies had no sharp twists or sinister turns. Our wrists were not tied and there was no noose about our necks. In Italy in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries a favourite sport was to fasten two fighters together with a strong rope and let t hem beat each other to death. Often it was death because the loser couldn't back off and the victor rarely spared him. The victor kept the rope and tied a knot in it.

He can take a wild high-strung horse who has never before been handled and persuade that horse to accept a bridle saddle and rider in thirty minutes. His powers may seem like magic but his amazing "horse sense" is based on a lifetime of experience. Roberts started riding at the age of two and at the age of thirteen he went alone into the high deserts of Nevada to study mustangs in the wild. What he learned there changed his life forever. He tells about his early days as a rodeo rider in California his problems with his violent horse-trainer father who was unwilling to accept Monty's unconventional training methods his friendship with James Dean his struggle to be accepted in the professional horse-training community and the invitation that changed his life - to demonstrate his method of "join-up" to the Queen of England. From his groundbreaking work with horses Roberts has acquired an unprecedented understanding of nonverbal communication an understanding that applies to human relationships as well. He has shown that between parent and child employee and employer he's worked with over 25 0 corporations including General Motors IBM Disney and Merrill Lynch and abuser and abused there are forms of communication far stronger than the spoken word and that they are accessible to all who will learn to listen."-jacket ; beige and green cloth with gold lettering in color photograhpic dustjacket ; FINE/FINE New York : Random House, 1997. hardcover
