this book is the prequal to the next men. In my oppinion, one of the 20 best comics, or peices of sequential art ever to be published.

This book provides a concise and very readable summary of John Paul II philosophy of the human person. The main section of the book presents John Paul's philosophy of education by gathering together his many written thoughts on the matter -- works from both before and after becoming pope.
The entire book is very readable and understandable for all, whether or not you have a good grounding in philosophy. It gives some good "food for thought" for all educators.

As a Greek student, I can't say enough about how great this text is. The running vocabulary is immensely helpful, as is the running commentary. As anybody who's gotten frustrated by constantly going back and forth between the text and various commentaries can understand, it's very helpful to have it write there, underneath the text. The commentary provides much needed help for a beginning Greek student. Edmund Cueva knew just when to nudge student readers in the right direction with his notes, and when to give them a harder shove. A superb text.

This is a information-packed book. It's divided in nine chapters, but in fact you can see three parts:

The first part, with text and a lot of color pictures covers the basics of every subject you can imagine regarding sky watching: Binoculars, telescopes, cities and urban skies, software, history, every planet, binary stars, eclipses etc. etc. etc. always in just two or four pages.

The second part covers every constellation in the sky, in
alphabetical order (one constellation per page), with stars up to 6th (I guess) magnitude, highlighting the most interesting stars, nebulae etc., each one of the included features has a symbol (in the text below the map) so you can know at a glance if it is to be seen at naked eye, with binoculars or with a telescope. I should mention that it also has a 12 general skycharts, so you can always use the one according to your latitude and time of the year.

And the third part ("the Starhopping Guide") are 20 selected sectors of the sky, including stars up to 8th magnitude (deep-sky objects up to 12.5) with text and photos regarding deep sky features, double stars, nebulae etc. etc. Useful: constantly the text points out what you can expect to see with a given telescope (4", 6", 8" lens diameter).

And I have some mixed additional comments:
-I think every picture has been thoughtfully selected (no pictures just to fill space, as I've seen in other books).
-The sky maps are made by Will Tirion (so you can expect that

there is what should be there, and nothing less).
-There is a small map showing the path of sun eclipses until year 2015
-The moon is covered in 8 pages, featuring some 300 craters, mares etc.
-I liked the section about "in store test" for choosing binoculars.
-I was a little bit disappointed that the "Starhopping guide" includes many features for telescopes with an aperture of 8", and up to 16"... (of course, this is because I have a 5" aperture telescope!)
-The book itself has an uncommon size: about 6 1/2" x 11", so it's still handy to take it outdoors, but large enough to include sky maps of reasonable size.
-I see that this book includes in few words a lot of information that I've read in more detail somewhere else. I wonder how this will be taken for someone who this is her/his first skywatching book. It could be preciously treasured for years... or it could bore the the poor reader: Who knows?.
And finally, at the price offered here, it's a steal!

The Slab Boys look at a group of young adult Scottish pigment makers in the 1950's. Their heros are James Dean and Elvis. The boys get into all sorts of trouble while trying to avoid work. In between the foolishness each of them tries to address his own fears for the future growing up in a working class depressed neighborhood.

A great play for young actors (freshmen or sophomores in college).

Butch Cassidy, thought to be dead by friend and foe alike, encounters Charlie Siringo, an ex-pinkerton who chased Cassidy's gang 20-years ago, meet in Hollywood and are soon bound for the deserts of Mexico with a beautiful Victoria Hartford and ther film crew.

An elaborate melding of careful research and lively invention bring Butch back alive.

This is such a interesting guide book!! I got this book from my christmas gift about nearly 2 months ago. Then I started to like it!! This book has everything about space, including the solar system, stars and galaxies, the space history, star charts and lots more!! It sure tests your knowledge!! It's even easy read and it includes lots of color pictures and photos!! This book is 318 pages long. So if you're interesed in space, get it!

I have read this book back in 1977(I guess it was the very first edition); It was a great introduction to the Pop History and it was also my very first book in English. John Byrne was a multi-talented man; he was my "english teacher" in a language school in Bristol,UK but my best memories of him(lost his track since)are always linked with the tunes on his guitar !

I'm a long time Superman fan, and this book shows Superman dedication to crime fighting and the like. Read this book!

Contains stories from all throughout the series, including the first introduction of the X-Babies! Technically, it's the X-Men de-aged, but still!
