1. I would recommend these pans to everyone. Get away from the unhealthy non stick surfaces of other pans. These pans disburse the heat so evenly. Clean up is a breeze.Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set



2. This is Dale Seymour's second book on the subject, Antique Poker Chips. Although it is soft covered like the first book that is about the only similarity. This book is nearly twice the size at 442 pages. The examples of chips is greatly expanded as is the catalog section. There are a number of color pages and the Seymour " coding" system has been modified. If the first book was a, "must have", and it was you can't live without this book.

5 comments about Medals and Missions: The Medals and Ribbons of the United Nations.

1. All information is fairly up-to-date. For anyone interested in current UN affairs, what they do or how they recieve awards you'll find this book interesting.



2. Amongst the many things I can say about this book, it is exciting material stating the exact nature of the United Nations Orders and Medals from one of the world's most renowned figures in the industry. Its uncanny accuracy is unprecedented.



3. The peacekeeping operations of the United Nations have grown in number and importance in recent years, producing a thicket of bewildering acronyms (UNIKOM and UNIPOM, UNOMUR and UNAMIR),and for participants a corresponding number of awards, which are often confusingly similar in appearance. For the first time this is all sorted out, in this well-produced guide.
   The book features excellent color illustrations of the medals, ribbons, and insignia, with information on the historical context, mandate (mission), participant countries and strengths, fatalities incurred, and number of medals issued. There is also a chronology, a world map of operations, a splendid section on Korean War medals and variants, background essays, bibliography, index, and more, providing comprehensive coverage of this relatively neglected area. Borts' admirable work will likely be the standard on the subject for many years to come, and will be of particular interest to students of contemporary military affairs as well as collectors.

2 comments about Roman Coinage in Britain (Discovering).

1. 
   This is a great little book for the person who is starting out on the hobby of coin collecting, whether they are going to solely collect Roman coins or a more general collection. The book feastures virtually all of the coins that were in common use in Roman Britain and life size reproductions of the coins are shown.
   
   There are no present day value in the book, but I find that these are practically useless anyway as within 12 months the prices have changed and anyway the book price can be very far away from what you actual get if you sold them on the open market.
   
   it is not the best or the most comprehensive book available on Roman coins, but for those who are just starting in the hobby, or just want to purchase one or two coins (there are many available on the internet now) for their historical interest, the book is an invaluable aid to identification.



2. 64 pp, 27 ills. This title puts the coinage of Roman Britain into a perspective of the economic and political events of the time. After outlining the currency system of the Empire from the first century to the fourth and investigating the factors which influenced the volume of coinage issued by the state and the occasions on which it was issued, the author considers the way in which the coinage found on Roman sites in Britain conforms to or deviates from this imperial pattern. This book is aimed at the practising archaeologist as well as the general student and emphasis is placed on the need to understand the overall pattern of coin production and use in the Roman period before deductions are made about the chronology and occupation of the individual sites. Almost all the commonest Roman coins found in Britain are illustrated at actual size P. J.

The Royal Numismatic Society awarded him the Lhotke Memorial Price for the first edition of this book.

2 comments about Early Hellenistic Coinage from the Accession of Alexander to the Peace of Apamaea (336-188 B.C.).

1. This is an outstanding book, in terms of both photography, and the history it presents. The book has photography of some of the most beautiful, and highly rare Greek coins; including some of the most elusive of the Hellenistic portraiture. I would highly recommend this book to any Greek collector or history buff.



2. Currently the most comprehensive and up-to-date review of the coinages produced by the heirs of Alexander the Great. Covers all major eastern dynasties (Ptolemies, Seleucids, Attalids, etc) down to the Roman triumph at Apamea in 188 BCE. Includes 45 pages of plates illustrating over 600 coins.

   Contents: - General Features of the Coinage - Alexander and the Diadochi 336-c.280 - The Balance of Power: Eastern Hellenism c.280-188 - Epilogue
