Elite 26th-century commandos, the ARC Riders patrol time to protect all human history...

The USSR crumbles, Russian hardliners jump from 1991 to AD 9, when their modern weapons can warp the course of the Roman Empire and create a world ruled by the Kremlin-using time technology that doesn't exist in the 20th century...or the 26th.

To solve the mystery, the Riders must split into teams separated by millennia. And while three Riders are trapped between the Roman legions and a blood-maddened barbarian horde, their comrades are at war on the Moscow streets. And fighting an inconceivable enemy.

Carleton Watkins is an overlooked figure in the history of American photography--Artistically we could not have wanted for more in someone recording the "wilds" of the West. Beautiful photographs of San Francisco and the Northwest's industrial beginnings, and timeless representation of Yosemite's natural wonder.

If you are an IT trainer or someone responsible for IT trainers, this book is a "must read".

I have had the privilege of not only reading this excellent book on how to train people to use computers (and putting it all into practice) but also to have heard the gospel being preached from the horse's mouth. I have been training people to use computers (and training trainers) according to the "Masie" way for over eight years - and his teaching is still as effective in today's ultra-technological world. He puts it all across in the most "easy to read and remember" fashion with lots of hints and tips for the trainer. The company I work for develop software for the advertising industry and our trainers have to go out and train our clients to use our system. They all follow Masie's "Sagamore Design Model"(explained in detail in the book)and feedback on our training has been consistently high over the last eight years. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is responsible for training people to use computers. I can assure you that your training effectiveness will double at least!

This is an extraordinary book, serious and varied and passionate; I recommend it to anyone who has encountered pain, and would be happy if all doctors had to read it in medical school. It argues that modern society no longer has any effective ways of coping with suffering - especially chronic pain -, of finding meaning in it, and explores some of the ways people in the past learned to live with - and learn from - pain, pain understood not as an enemy attack on human lives which ought to be pain-free, but as a part of life which must be lived with and which can be meaningful in itself, not just a deprivation of meaning.

This is the perfect book for anyone who loves the Grand Canyon. Not only do you get gorgeous photos and historic shots of the 1905 El Tovar hotel, but there's more on Mary Jane Colter's Grand Canyon work and a chapter on the park. This is a perfect stocking stuffer or very reasonable little gift for someone heading to the canyon for a honeymoon or anniversary!

I am in a college botany class and this book has been a life-saver. Its loaded with definitions of everything under the sun about plants--and all in one volume. My need was mainly as a plant dictionary but you could also use the Spanish portion of the book. I would strongly recomend the book for people who need a botanical reference guide with clear definitions of hundreds of terms.

Filled with great illustrations and varied choices, I wish these great books were still made. The biggest plus is that YOU make the choices, insted of watching others make them for you. I'ts also detailed, and has a great plot. whether your unfamiliar to gamebooks or not, I'm sure you'll enjoy Eye of the Dragon!

I wanna read this book. This book is good. I have no money and time. If possible, I send money later. please...
