books about: austrian     books:       The War of the Austrian Succession7 reviews Reed S. Browning Palgrave Macmillan, 1995 Maria Theresa's Struggle, Superbly Told This book defied my expectations in several different ways: despite being an academic press, it was superbly written and engaging; though primarily a diplomatic history, it proved itself briskly paced, with lively characters and more than occasional joke; also, it overcame the verdict of hindsight that usually treats the War of the Austrian Succession (1741-48) as a mere prelude to the Seven ...             Mental Disorders, Medications, and Clinical Social Work3 reviews Sonia G. Austrian Columbia University Press, 2005 A helpful learning tool I am an MSW student and have found this book extremely helpful as I concomitantly study the DSM-IV-TR. Combining the reading of, for example, anxiety disorders in the DSM with Austrian's chapter on anxiety disorders helps clarify assessment criteria. I don't believe the purpose of her book is to discuss the shortfalls of the DSM but rather to aid social workers in gaining a better grasp of its ...             Mises and Austrian Economics: A Personal View Ron Paul Ludwig von Mises Institute, 2008 Ron Paul deserves a high place in the history of liberty for being the only seriously principled statesman to serve in the US House of Representatives in the last quarter of the 20th century. It should not be a surprise to discover that Ludwig von Mises had a huge impact on Congressman Paul's view of statesmanship. This essay is a moving tribute to Mises and a look into the mind of a remarkable politician.             The Austrians: A Thousand-Year Odyssey10 reviews Gordon Brook-Shepherd Basic Books, 2002 A seminal work A seminal work of great magnitude but weak in its analysis of pre-20th century history. This book gives a whirlwind tour of Austrian History from 1200-1900. Then the book slows down and achieves greatness in describing the intricacies of Franz Joseph's rule as well as WWI and the road to Anschloss with Germany. The book picks up by describing the little know portion of Austrian history, the ...             Marks on German, Bohemian, And Austrian Porcelain: 1710 to the Present1 review Robert E.

The only disadvantage of this volume is that the Author tried to discuss literally all "foot" units, including irregulars, militia and volunteers (in my opinion - these units need to be treated in separate volume). Due to the lack of space the title does not cover the Austrian REGULAR infantry uniforms, arms and equipment in full, unfortunately.             The Austrian Theory of the Trade Cycle and Other Essays7 reviews Ludwig von Mises, Murray N.
