What is it to be a god? In this bizarre, totally unexpected epic, your PCs (immortals of levels 36+) will come to grips with the grim, powerful, and sublime reality of being pagan deities - as they seek the essence of life itself, in a futile effort to save their world from extinction! A gripping, unique adventure that I recommend highly to thoughtful players.

I am studying for Certified Public Examinations and I stumbled across a copy of this book . I find this book relevant to our course because some questions from a past examination paper appear to have come from here. Unfortunately Horngreens book is very scarce around here. I am very sure people in this part of the world would use this book if it was more available. Question and answer book would be appreciated more.

Although the book has several outstanding sections on fixed income securities, the chapters related to stocks, in particular CAPM, are very disappointing. We adopted this text during the Winter quarter of 1998, and had a very difficult time explaining to our students the basics of stocks portfolio management. Later we have been using Professor's Ross excellent book on Corporate Finance for this purpose.

I certainly expected what the title of this book suggested "...authentic horn solos..." but it fell short. The authors did a very good job of "pacing" the book (i.e. graded studies,historical data and some theoretical info) with the solos but several things were disappointing: 1) the solos were never ascribed to any specific horn player 2) the recording and the playing on the accompanying CD (by the authors!!!) is at times very sloppy and not proficiently executed However!!!!! The solos are perfect for sight reading and contain great ii-V-I licks as well as phrasing concepts galore!

Written in 1942 the story takes place in the "lost land" of Austrailia where overhead airplane flights are mysteriously pulled down by unknown forces. No one can penetrate the desert or the mountain pass that lead into the land. Heroin Ann Hunter is in search of her lost brother, with her is a man named Richard Varsey who is looking for diamonds and a German by the name of Hofer. Hofer wants the mysterious technology that believes is there so he can take over the world. "Is, is he a commie?" Ann asks at one point. The response was "Worse than that. He's an anarchist!"

There in the "lost land", all three meet Jongor, who proceeds to save them continuously. Jongor was born there, a product of parents who were in one of those overhead flights that crashed. Parents died, poor Jongor never finds his way out.

In general, you have dinosaurs, flying reptiles, ape men, mysterious technology, adventure and a happy ending.

A Tarzan and Allan Quatermain imitation but much less laborious than Burroughs, much less thoughtful than Haggard. I recommend this as it is an entertaining and easy read.

I didn't find this book as...well, useful...as the three more detailed works on Paul and Karla, although it was far more useful than 'Paul's Case'. This was actually the first of the works released, but didn't come to the attention of many until well after the three true-crime books were well-read by the public.

Davey takes a different look at this case, examining the societal reactions rather than the case history. For the most part, he is using the Mahaffey-French cases to discuss the sociological impact that major events have on society as a whole. A great deal of the book discusses the Canadian publication ban on information pertinent to the trial, and there is even sections devoted to an Internet newsgroup, alt.fan.karla-homolka.

I enjoyed this book from a sociological point of view, but don't recommend it to people who are into the true-crime genre. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on a copy of it, the most interesting thing by far is the frequent black-outs found within the text.

Today we are dealing with families and aging parents. When a parent becomes ill with no hope we may consider physican assisted suicide. This story is about a family that deals with right and wrongs of assisting a beloved member of the family to die with dignity and the turmoils of life with other family members. Easy reading and a very good story. Check it out.

For anyone who knows and loves Lake George, particularly those who have camped on the lake or are contemplating a camping trip to the lake this book is must reading.

Luckily i found this book just in time.It really helped Tina and me to understand our rights better and know what is exactly good or bad according to the law.You will not regret owning this book ,it will always be of immense help in legal issues and even for everyday living.I'm glad i've read this book.

I was *very* impressed by the use of a great, but terribly ill (both physically and mentally) writer and the era approaching the American Civil War as the two frames of reference for this story. The characters, especially the lovers Lenore and Danton, emerged (and in a very interesting way) from the context of these two keenly complementary aspects of the story.

Both Poe (giving us an individual, personal context) and the state of the country at that time (giving us a global context) hold tremendous promise and energy (crystallized in the characters and relationship of Lenore and Danton), but they both also hold inevitable collapse that finally must be faced and "lived through" for any of that promise to have even a chance to survive and see a better day.

Interestingly enough, the story is also a poignant one for our own impending time of crisis as well. (At the time of this reading, America is on the verge of a second war with Iraq, and the world does indeed seem to be on the verge of a new era - with a frightening global climate that apparently will have to be fully faced and lived through in the years to come for our own promise to see a better day. And what of the natural and economic environment these days?)

I thought the above was a very impressive and interesting way to show a story of the poignancy of the human spirit - all the more so because Poe was a real man whom we can know to some extent through his work and the works about him and because the era was a real time that most Americans are deeply familiar with (and are still feeling the effects of).

I also liked the immersion into the literary style and flavor of Poe's time - I think that was successful and quite consistently handled throughout, a fine challenge in itself.

And I thought the story was well realized for the most part - especially Poe. From the first pages, an immediacy with the Poe character was quite well established.

However, I didn't feel the Lenore character was approached as well as she could have been. I thought all the elements were there of a compelling character at the heart of the story, a character that could hold the immense promise of the story's heart/soul. It's the approach, not the character, that I felt could have been better. Unlike our "in the flesh," direct introduction to Poe, our introduction to Lenore was much more removed from the character than I would have preferred. We were given all of the vital information about her and the overall climate of her world that we needed to know, but I would have preferred to learn this information through much more direct experience with her and her world, although we had more of that in the novel as it progressed into the present time. Then that information would have been more "vital" to me. Maybe it's just the approach to the introduction of Lenore that left me feeling more disconnected from this important character than I would have preferred. I got the idea and knew what she was supposed to mean for the story, but with a more experiential introduction to her, I might have connected with her better. And I wanted to, so I think that's good and speaks well for the character and her promise for the story.

Still, the *approach* used with Lenore notwithstanding (at least with our introduction to her), I felt that all of the elements were there for this wonderfully intriguing conceptual novel, some of those elements quite well realized. And I loved what the novel was going for regarding the human spirit and the context(s) it used to show an especially brave and poignant story of that spirit - on an individual as well as collective level.

If I could give the potential of this story a star rating, I'd give it 5+ stars. Only because I'd like to see some still further development of the story's potential, I give it less than that.

I'm looking forward to what Frank Lovelock may write in the future.
