This is one of the most best illstrated books i've ever read. The detail of the photos makes it a great book, if you like to look at the pictures. There is plenty of information and lots of interesting facts. For someone who wants to get a close look down a throat of a Great White this book has the photos for you. I highly recomend this book for people with sharks on the brain.

Psi Laws continues the tradition of the excellent Trinity Field Reports series: high quality in a small package at a very affordable price. Like all published Repots, Psi Laws is all-color and in-character. It can be roughly divided in two sessions: one talking about how authorities generally deal with each Aptitude, and another presenting cases in different countries that involved the use of psionic power. The previous two Trinity Field Reports (Extrasolar Colonies and Aliens) were nice, but most of the info found on them has eventually been covered by bigger sourcebooks. Not Psi Laws. The information here is extremely important for a serious Trinity campaign, and here's the only place you'll find it.

Best educational book on the climate and weather of New Zealand ( and Australia) ever written. Good for one studying docturates on meteorology.

This book is probably the worst of all of the Five Star Workout Books. It had (in my opinion) too much history of the Academy (not necessary for a Workout book) and it didn't cover anything I couldn't learn from the "Navy SEAL Workout Book" (also by Andrew Flach). Buy that one for the same price! It has far more information and Workout routines and exercises. The only good thing about this book was the 6-week Naval Academy P.E.P. (but I must admit it isn't that good either!). So buy the SEAL Book or just download the "BUD/S Warning Order" for free form any SEAL site and get a GREAT 15-week workout routine that is challenging!

You've heard the saying: "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." Shame on me, then, because after writing a lukewarm review for Boot Camp Workout, also by Five Star, I have the same to say about this one. While the workouts presented are credible, the book is very poorly done. Explanations of the exercises are imprecise, and the accompanying photographs sometimes contradict the text. Some exercises in the workout plan are not explained; for example, the workouts often call for you to perform a "Dirty Dog", yet nowhere in the book will you find an explanation of what a dirty dog is.

The workouts are VERY intense. I'm 36 and in pretty good shape. But after 1 week of following this plan, I was too sore to move. If you are not already in excellent condition, then I can't even recommend this book for its workouts.

The previous reviewer wrote that terms like "dirty dog" weren't explained. If he had read the descriptions under the exercises he would have found the exercise referred to as "dirty dog" and even the "donkey kick."

I like the workout, it's a plan I can actually follow. The exercises are simple and tough. Getting in shape doesn't require complicated machines and workouts. Simplicity and form are what you need for any effective workout.

If you have any other books in this series, you don't need this one. I don't, so it works for me. All military workouts will have a similarity. A previous reviewer mentioned the similarity of this and the Navy SEAL workout in this series. There should be since Navy SEALs are the ones who design and implement the physical education program (P.E.P.)at the Naval Academy. There may be better books in the series, but I think this one will fulfill any of your needs. Ask yourself what you want to look like and find the program that will take you there. This one will get you fit (which is all most people want to be).

Get the book if you want a good workout. The nutrition information is lacking, but that's okay.

I disagree with the previous reviewer who said the workout is too tough for beginners. Any one can use it. You may not be able to all the reps in the 6-week plan, go at your own pace. Take a look at the exercises and think of how many reps you can do. Do as many as you think you be comfortable with. After you're done with a full set of these exercises go back if you think you haven't done enough. Know your limits.

This is one of the worse books I have ever had the misfortune of buying. I wouldn't waste even 1/16" of space on my bookshelf storing this one. Dumb stories about people and their first encounter with whales, ... oh please, what was the publisher thinking? My advice: Don't waste your $$$!

"From around the globe people have come forward to share their words of compassion, excitement, commitment, wonder, and concerns for one of the seas most magnificent creatures; the whale. If taken to heart, you will come to know of the sensitivity and intelligence that these gentle giants possess. Even if you have never experienced a whale encounter before, Whale Tales will take you there."

A good book and easy to use. Two corrections: The correct spelling for the common name of Sistrurus miliarius is Pigmy Rattlesnake (not Pygmy), and it is the Texas Coral Snake that is found in Texas, not the Harlequin Coral Snake. Pigmy Rattlesnake and Texas Coral Snake are standardized common names that have been in use nationwide since 1978.

...provided some very important information that wasn't detailed in the rulebook: info about Karoo, Averiguas, Far Nyumba and the other extrasolar colonies. All the infomation is in full color and in-character, much like the first 100 pages of the basic rulebook. Most of the info found here has been expanded in other books (particularly Stellar Frontier and the Alien Encounter adventure series), but it's still very cool as a player handout.
