The official MediEvil II guide is a rarity among most of Prima's recent strategy guide offerings--it's EXTREMELY good. Everything the game has to offer is greatly detailed by way of clear maps, screenshots, walkthrough directions, and enemy strategies. All of this is presented in a very nice layout which takes full advantage of all 160 pages--no wasted space to be found here. Highly recommended if there's anything stumping you about this game.

the strategy guide has pics for all scenes and gives many good tips throughout.

This guide is very helpful and it was worth the price i paid for it.

This is the perfect GIFT BOOK for the road warrior in your life. Tip: Inscribe the first page with your name, a loving message and your telephone number. When the flight is delayed, you will get a call from your traveler.

The hardcover volume has over 100 one-page meditations consisting of a biblical reference, a story and a quotation. Each meditation is a quick read and each stands alone. These quick bites on travel make the book easy to read while traveling. Your road warrior will love you for the gift.

As the author of 113 books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and a publisher, I must comment that this book is very nicely done. DanPoynter@ParaPublishing.com.

Don't let the size of this book fool you. This little gem is powerpacked and guaranteed to help you discover the "little extra's" that can make the BIG DIFFERENCE while on the road. Full of stories, principles, biblical insights and great wisdom this a treasure trove of truth. Enjoy it and enjoy your life on the road much more. God bless those who put it together.

I keep this book in my "traveling suitcase" so I always have it with my while on the road. It has been a real encouragement to me each time I read a new meditation. It's wonderful to know that other people share the same frustrations, loneliness, and challenges. An excellent gift for yourself if you travel or for someone you know who needs to be reminded that God is with us where ever we are!

This book was great, It tells soooooo much info about 717's, 737's, 747's, 757's, 767's, 777's, and a lot of upcoming planes. It is soooooooooooooo good.

'Modern Boeing Jetliners' covers the entire modern Boeing fleet from the 717 to the 777.

Norris also provides some really good information and advanced photos about the new Boeing BWB (Blended Wing Body) aircraft. The BWB may be Boeing's only hope in keeping up with Airbus, especially in light of the advanced orders for the A380.

Overall, the photos and commentary are very good.

The only lacking in the book, similar to Norris's book on the 777 is that the workings of the flight deck and avionics are a bit sparse.

Other than that, there is no other book around that can match Guy Norris book.

Overall, a great book about Boeing jet.

Excellent photography, interesting text, this book has it all. From the 717 to 777, it gives you a good idea about Boeing's latest products. As a Boeing pilot, I recommend it!

This very handy and useful thesaurus is one of my most valuable aids to the English language. It makes me write with more impact while steadily enhancing my command of words. Its the first step to making words work for you.

This is one of the most handy and user-friendly thesaurus that I've used. It helps make the occasionally irksome word hunts efficient and a delight. This is an excellent first reference point that usually suffices without the need for consulting a more elaborate thesaurus.

Warning: This reference book can be addictive once you discover its vocabulary-enchancing functionality and even its entertainment value.

This is easily the best pocket-sized thesaurus that I have seen, and I own more than a dozen thesauri, large and small. A more comprehensive thesaurus with excellent word lists (e.g. horse breeds, phobias, shades of red etc.) is The Concise Oxford Thesaurus (ISBN: 0198601263). However, for general writing, I think this one has the highest value-to-weight ratio.

With a lighthearted touch, Will Marks translates cooking complexitites into functional dishes for the everyday postcollege man. Readers will marvel at the simple elegance of Mr. Marks' menu, and wonder out loud why he would forsake his kitchen brilliance for the banality of Wall Street.

Easy to use, practical, clever, and delicious recipes. Good for beginning cooks and for experienced ones too! Amusing as well as tasty recipes. Minnie Garnish, mother of three hungry animals

William Marks' recipes are so delicious that my mouth salivates thinking about them. In fact, sometimes I cannot sleep at night thinking about "Chicken Cordon Orange." The book definitely arouses me - even more so than the recipes of Julia Child.

Whenever I ask my girls(ages 7 & 5) to go get my favorite book to read to them, this is the one they grab, and they are right. I absolutely love this book. I have read it to every child I've had a chance to. I have read it to adults as well. The message is to beautiful, and true.
The illistations drew me to this book, and the story keeps me coming back, time and time again.
I look forward to reading it each time I get the chance, and for many, many years to come.

I am a recent M.K. Moulton fan, and just love this book. He uses different illustrators for his books, so each one has a different feel. I've purchased this book twice, once for myself, and the other for a gift! Beautifully presented in a hard-case, it reminds me of quality books I had as a child. A must!

Not only do the colorful vocabulary and exquisite illustrations bursting on each page capture the minds of children and adults alike in this book, the message of accepting AND loving differences, will too. The clever use of nature's creatures, each with their strengths, also adds to the main theme. I find the heavy paper stock used and book box included an extra benefit to a wonderful book. I purchased this book for myself and others who have bi-cultural children.

The book shows what the power of mathematics is, how it changes, and how it expands to new areas. Unlike books that aim to popularize math, the book does not pontificate a mystic view of the meaning of mathematics; rather, it gives a sober perspective of what has happened in mathematics and what can be expected of the field.

The book requires somewhat serious mathematical thinking.

A great strength of the book is the diverse mathematical concepts that it presents: homology groups, group theory, Turing machines, undecidability, Monte Carlo method. In a compact book, you learn a little about some important ideas in advanced mathematics.

Important!! This book is not written to popularize its subject matter, so it is different and definitely less entertaining than most popular science books.

With new mathematics growing wild in the trees in the new century, one should review those things that have given modern mathematics direction and flavor. This classic little book sits along side of Sawyer's " Prelude to Mathematics" as the go to books for basic understanding. To these books I have added an unlikely candidate " Elliptical Curves" by McKean and Moll. If one has these three books, he will have a crack in the dam of mathematics...

Kac and Ulam were both strong mathematicians; this encyclopedia article which they coauthored provides a nice counterweight to the answers-without-questions view of math which can result from a little indifferent coursework.

Easy and lively reading, written for everyone.

Too much military SF glories in body count and massive destruction and is ultimately pretty much a lie about what war is really like. Of course, in science fiction I guess you can make up anything and who's to say you got it wrong. But if you're going to write about human beings truthfully, then you have to be honest about how things are.

When I saw that METAL OF NIGHT was military fiction I almost put it down. But I really enjoyed COMPASS REACH and I thought maybe this wouldn't be the standard fare.

It's not. I don't know if Mark W. Tiedemann was ever in combat--I've never been--but his prose comes across like the real thing. This is a novel about civil war, basically, and the inhuman things people do in the name of causes. It's about how much chaos and calamity really come out of war. It's about costs and consequences. And the thing is, it holds you because you really care about these characters. They aren't cardboard cutouts like--well, like a lot of others in SF.

It's also about the remarkable kindnesses that can happen and the sacrifices people make under the toughest circumstances and the power of the human spirit to survive and flourish even in what is essentially hell.

And it follows on logically from COMPASS REACH--it's the revolt after the disaster. The thing is, he makes it personal. He focuses on a few people--on both sides of the conflict--and tells the story from inside their heads. You rarely see this.

And the universe just gets better. He's making it complex and interesting and tantalizing.

This might be a good book to read given the current state of the world. It takes the shine off all the fake heroics we usually get in milSF. I can't wait for his next one. This is a writer to follow.

Here's a new(?) author for your up and coming list. Mark Tiedemann is that anachronism in writing today, an author who won't bore you with shallow characters or a thinly veiled space opera plot. This guy really does his homework on Metal of Night, the much awaited 'second' to Compass Reach in his Secantis series. As he draws you into his universe, his storytelling ability will remind you of Asimov, for whom he recently penned a new Robot Mystery Trilogy(Mirage, Chimera & Aurora) Check him out, you know you want to!

Thoughtful, intelligent storytelling by a writer who envisions a future full of complex and diverse beings - beings who continually question their world and who, thereby, continually evolve.

Tiedemann not only gives us a female protagonist with "dark skin like polished wood," but allows Cira and others to question the classism and isolationism that (unfortunately) still pervade their time.

And, if you're not in the mood for deep thoughts, Metal of Night works just fine as a "...to the wind" action/adventure story.

Mogador is a Latin American novel set in an imaginary city (Mogador) that belongs in North Africa - complete with an Islamic or Mozarabic culture. It is a tale of sensual self-awareness of a young woman in a cloistered environment. Sanchez's sensual awareness and the ability to convert that awareness into words is sufficient justification to read the book. As a bonus, one does become interested in the young woman (Fatima) as well.

This is the first time I read a book by a man that goes deep into my sexual feelings. Daring and respectful at the same time, sharp and poetic. I want to read all his books. But only found this one (in my favorite bookstore...). This is an author listening to women's desires. I want to meet him.

When I went into the pages of Mogador I discovered a new way of understanding my senses and my desires. As important as learning how to read,through the lenses of a poetic an sensous adventure. Telling thestory of Fatma, in the imaginary and walled city of Mogador, this book opens a question about women's desire that only each one of us,women readers, can answer. This is a masterpiece of subtility, a book to share with the dearest persons, a tale to read and read again. I found a sequel of Mogador in other languages. It's title in spanish is Los nombres del aire. The sequel's title is En los labios del agua. Both books exists in french. Les visages de l'air and Les levres de l'eau. An amazing experience for the senses more than a text to read.

This is a beautiful book. Richard Nixon is an unlikely vehicle for beauty, but Maxwell does it somehow-- his gentle portrait of Raymond Carver no doubt has a lot to do with it. He has created a tragedy that does what tragedies should do-- simply, it makes you feel for another human being.
Also interesting in the same vein is Russell Lees' play "Nixon's Nixon"-- between the two of them these works do what history should do but can't.

buy the book, better than any "real" biography of either man...it leaves you hungry for more!.

I do not like to fish, play poker or clean the garage, but I loved Nixoncarver! Maxwell must have a vivid imagination because some of the images he created gave me a physical response--I will never look at a bluebird or my mother's arse the same way! After I finished the book, I regreted reading it so fast. Now I miss my new friends Nixon and Carver. Perhaps there is a part two in the works? Nixoncarver: Heaven or Hell? I hope so!
