As Bili Morguhn lay on his deathbed, he remembers scenes throughout his life. Known as Bili the Axe, and the Prince of Karaleenos, Bili had led an astounding life as a warrior, and leader of men. But the tales are not only of Bili's heroics, but of other warriors as well. Anyone who has read and enjoyed, a Horseclans story, will surely enjoy this one. Those who have never read Horseclans, but enjoy stories, of heroics, battle, and brains are sure to have a good time, reading this story of epic adventure.

A riveting murder mystery involving race and sex in the Old South, "Death of an Overseer" is equally fascinating for what it reveals about the historian's craft. Besides this, it is beautifully written. Historians and the general reader alike will find this book hard to put down.

Almost forgotten among the writings of the Founders, John Adams Defense of Constitutions represents nothing less than a profound view of the nature of government and the American experiment. Adams writes a strong style. Reacting against the more radical elements following the founding era, Adams presents a view of constitutional government which today would be considered Conservative. His aim is to demonstrate that it is through limited government (limited by authorizing documents) men may find the fullest liberty. While governments may become arbitrary, those limited by law serve, rather than rule, the citizen. Modern desire for expansive government stands at serious odds with Adam's view and his understanding of the nature of the American Constitutional system, expounded here, contradicts the demands of the welfare or "nanny" state. Russell Kirk in The Conservative Mind devotes some length to an examination of Adams treatise and finds it both comprehensive and significant. This is a work which our time sorely needs to read and understand if we are to return ourselves to the liberty loving people Adams longed for Americans to be.

This book is really two books in one. A VXML tutorial and an overview of all the technologies used to build voice applications. The authors, in the overview portions, have presented detailed information yet have made it manageable enough to allow the reader to gain a good hold of the material without getting lost in the detail. Where the book really stands out though is in the VXML tutorial. The tutorial is written in a layered fashion in which the basic concepts are presented before moving on to the next more advanced feature. At each step an example is used to help make the concepts concrete. I loved the fact that the authors never underestimate the my intelligence nor did they seek to impress the me with their advanced knowledge. I was very happy to find this in a recently published technical book. I was able to move quickly though the tutorial building on the example presented. I bought the book hoping to come up to speed on new voice application technologies having been out of that field for many years. The book has done that and I consider it one of my better tech book buys.

I am an avid reader, but do not usually pick up anything resembling sci-fi. I took a chance with this book and was left extremely satisfied when I had finished (you will understand when you read it)! Deja Vu is the perfect book for either gender. It has the sci fi/ adventure component that gets your adrenaline pumping, and then it also has the perfect amount of raw unsolicited sex that is written in a tactful manner (if that is possible)! If you want to go on a wild and sexy adventure, and you are not afraid to explore the possibilities on all fronts then I suggest you pick up this book. It looks lengthy but you will devour the pages!

Jack and Adam Lively have managed to put together a throughly interesting and at the same time enjoyable reader on Democracy in Britian. The most notable feature is the range of texts included: there are texts by philiosophers (Hobbes, Locke...), Politicians (Disrael, Thatcher...) and from debates in parliament as well as Shakespeare, Auden and even Rushdi. Because the authors have NOT only included specialised texts by experts on the constitutions they manage to convey the picture of a living democracy whith all its problems, issues and controversies. I would argue that many of the questions that are dealt with are also important in other countries. In this sense, the book transgresses its original purpose.

A fine collection of horror stories. The Juggler is the best of the lot, a wild story!

Ken Ham keeps amazing me with his ability to take his extensive knowledge of scripture and science, and show how they coexist.

Though over 25 years old, it is the basis of current books stressing more protein and less sugar in our diet. Makes a lot of sense.....

This block calendar has kept people around me entertained for the whole year. You can temper with it, it folds inside out and in several different shapes, folding back showing different months. It is also great as a calendar, takes up little space, looks good, and still shows no signs of wear.
