"The Men of Fox Company: History and Recollections of Company F, 291st Infantry Regiment, Seventy-Fifth Infantry Division" describes the actions of an infantry rifle company fighting in Europe during World War II. Sometimes the Seventy-Fifth Division was called the "Diaper Division" because the mean age of the men was just twenty-two years versus the widely acknowledged average age of twenty-six years for most other divisions. Fox Company was part of Second Battalion, 291st Infantry Regiment of the Seventy-Fifth ID, which were formally activated at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, on April 15, 1943. The division was thrown into combat soon after arriving in Europe in December of 1944. Over the next ninety-four days, they fought three campaigns in Europe. Fox Company first went into combat during the Battle of the Bulge and then moved to southern France to fight in the Colmar Pocket. Next, they went to Holland, where they defended along the Maas River and later in Germany along the Rhine River. Finally, Fox Company fought in the battle for the Ruhr. "The Men of Fox Company includes the recollections of several men providing a view of the war not often seen-directly from the soldiers, sergeants, and officers who survived the experience to tell their personal stories.
Nostradamus, step aside. Scott Adams has turned futurist and gives us a much needed look into his skewed crystal ball. Here's a taste of what you'll learn in The Dibert Future:
There's only one word to describe life in The Dibert Future: HILARIOUS.
The Dilbert Principle: The most ineffective workers will be systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage -- management. Since 1989, Scott Adams has been illustrating this principle each day, lampooning the corporate world in Dilbert, his enormously popular comic strip. In the potato-shaped, abuse-absorbing Dilbert, he has given voice to the millions of Americans buffeted by the many adversities of the workplace. He has now taken the next step, attacking corporate culture head-on in this insanely insightful management book. Packed with 400 Dilbert cartoons, the book takes a look at corporate America in all its glorious lunacy, exploring its zeitgeist of ever-changing management fads, overbearing egos, management incompetence, bottomless bureaucracies, petrifying performance reviews, information traffic jams and more. With sharp eyes, and an even sharper wit, Adams exposes and skewers the bizarre absurdities of everyday corporate life. Readers will be convinced that he must be spying on their bosses, The Dilbert Principle rings so true!

Cereal Killers: Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free A to Z is the most diverse discussion of gluten sensitivity and celiac disease currently available in a single volume. Cereal Killers explores a wide range of sometimes contradictory perspectives on the various disease processes incited by gluten. These include the many illnesses and increased disease susceptibility to which gluten contributes, as well as ailments associated with gluten-induced illnesses. We also offer some speculations and hypotheses regarding the means by which gluten wreaks havoc on genetically vulnerable individuals, and important reasons why those affected should remain on a 100% gluten-free diet.
