The Hunter game is a nice addition to anyones WoD collection. This book can help one to build better characers. You know onesa that can actually live for past 60 seconds.

When I purchased this book, I was expecting something along the lines of a a player's guide or such. What I got, on the other hand, was a sourcebook chock full of information on supernaturals around the world. Be careful that you know what this is before you purchase it. It's an excellent book and I liked it very much, but it was not what I had in mind for a survival guide.

I liked this book. Its written from the point of view of the hunters, a different one for each section. The book does not have any game mechanics, its pure story. It begins with a few tips for novice hunters, something you should get your players to read through. Then it goes on to describe each continent. It spends a lot of time discussing the world outside of North America, so if your planning on running a game in a different country then this is the book for you. I liked the fact that since the information is given out by hunters, it is full of various facts that are completely not true, so your players can read through the book and still not have any of the real information. Full of great story potential and well written. A good buy if your going to run a hunter's game.

As with all of the Vanguard New Military series, this book is a compromise. It is not a photo book with line drawings for modelers, though it does have some color drawings. The mini history is good, covers all of the varients, but due to space, is short.

What irks me the most is that the cut away is hard to see the inside. I like to see what the inside of the vehicle looks like, it is very hard to do with this book & all of the others in this series. There should be line drawings of the inside from top, left & right perspectives. That would move this book into a five star rating. The photos are good, detailed, clear. Not much else is available at this time, a good addition to a collection.

This book is the main Leopard book you need. It covers the development of the first Lepard 1 in 1965, and gives you all the details of the version up to the Leopard 1A5. I also covers foreign versions and other versions made with the Leopard chassis. It includes colorful illustrations from Michael Badrocke, on of Britain's leading illustrators of military and other high-tec equipment.

The only reason why this book only got 4 starts, was because the rest of the book is only in black-and-white.

But the information is worth it for a Leopard 1 enthusiast!

This book is no better than any of the other graduate level marketing books that are available. You might think that since this book has 15 authors it might have something that books with only 3 authors lacks. But, if you thought this you'd be wrong. This book offers nothing new and its extremely high price makes it even less appealing.

This book combines the knowledge of excellent scholars of marketing in a clear and structured format which is accessible to undergraduates. In addition, the cases and other teaching materials provide excellent support.

Simplistic and without real scholarship, one wonders why this is the book that people chose for any kind of language enhancment of the joys of that most subtle and lovely of langauges.

"America ganef!" my Grandma would exclaim upon encountering a pleasant surprise. (See JOY page 115.) That's my reaction seeing this old friend renewed, broader, more current and more liberal in its Jewish scope, and more lively and attractive because of the illustrations and layout. Yet it is still the warm, friendly, funny book I remember from nearly 30 years ago.

Somehow the New Joys of Yiddish has more meaning for me now that nearly all those family members I remember using Yiddish often - some relying on it almost entirely, others just when they used a forceful, colorful, close-to-the heart expression (which was very often) - are gone. The book evokes memories of those good people to whom we owe so much - if only for having had the wisdom to select this country for us and our children.

The book is like a warm and witty friend whose conversation brightens your home and is rarely pedantic. (At a couple of places, such as his seven page exposition on the messiah, he does go on too long.)

Two types of people will find this book enjoyable: those who read the original edition and those who didn't.

So to the Rosten family and Larry Bush - mazal tov!

Granted this book is written by his child, and is a collection of memories, it seems like a longwinded email from someone obsessed with pinning his miseries on his childhood. Peter Sellers' actions are described in poor detail, just graphic enough to muddle us through his life, and we never explore the motivations of the man. It's unfortunately not overtly sad, funny, or poignant, aside from the beginning of the book, where we see him at the end of his life and comatose in the hospital for all of a dozen pages.

A ghostwriter should have been hired, but seemingly wasn't. Read this book only if you've exhausted other Sellers sources.

This book, published Less than 2 years after the death of Peter Sellers is an honest, moving look into the life of the talented, but sometime stroubled actor. Written by his son with help from other family members the book portrays Sellers as a man whose genius got the best of him. The book is fanny, sad and often touching. This book gives an insight that no one but Peter Sellers son could give. FRom their first Holidays together to the last hours in the hospital room before Peter Sellers death, teh author was there and he recounts his memories for the reader. This book is a must for any serious Sellers fan or someone who wants to understand more about the man. If you can find a copy of this book...read it!

Too much general information, Not near enough pictures to follow. You need to have had some experience with a computer before trying to use this book. Stick with Anti-Virus software Peter!

I've referred to this book several times over the last couple years and it has offered no help. Norton's book is too general to be of any use. I would rather have five books that cover just a few topics with depth and clarity than one book that skims many topics and helps me with none, like this one.

This book was as good as they get. I think Norton knows all there is to know about a PC. I found form the simple item to the most complex was a breeze with this series. Folks dont waste money on anything less than this book! It Rocks

I am a BIG fan of Deep Space Nine, so I obviously love to read Deep Space Nine books. But this one, well, wasn't so good. The plot is OK, and the characters are OK, but it just didn't do it for me. The Ro/Kira thing was good, but I didn't think it was right that Ro and Kira took on a whole criminal ring and won. Plus, I didn't think that Sisko would ever let Quark pilot the Defiant, so that was pretty dumb, and why would Sisko leave Deep Space Nine without a crew???? It just doesn't make sense. I'm not a fan of Friedman, and I don't know who the other two people are, but I just hope that the two of you break off relations with Friedman, and write a new Deep Space Nine book.

Originally Michelle Forbes was to go from Star Trek Next Generation to the Deep Space Nine show when she quit, Kira Nerys was created. So this book is sort of tongue in cheek. Unfortunately the blending of so many writers convolutes not the plot but the tone of the novel. Though it's not apparent who wrote what to avoid particular criticisms all of these writers, while versed in Star Trek have different styles.
So this book fails.

This book, which is a plot based around the first meeting of Kira and Ro Laren, is really good. I enjoyed their interactions a lot - they tease each other, act deliberately irritating, and say sarcastic things to each other, just like I'd imagine they would. But, eventually they realize they are more alike than different, which is as it should be. The plot was interesting - a plague caused by replicators, which is actually kind of a twist on the first season episode "Babel". I enjoyed the nice balance of action and character development. There weren't many problems, just two glaring ones - why were Kira and Ro hiking around Bajor on foot? Don't they have hovercars or something? The only explanation I can think of is that they wanted to be really, REALLY incognito. The other was that Sisko took only Quark as his crew on the Defiant. Surely the warship needs more than one person and one Ferengi to run it! And taking that fancy ship with its cloaking device into Orion space? That's just inviting them to steal it. They really should've taken a runabout! However, the writing quality was good, and it was a fun adventure to read. I recommend this novel to any DS9 or Ro Laren fan.

Doomsday World is by no means a bad Trek novel. Ordinarily, it would be entitled to the standard three stars that decent Trek novels are awarded. Unfortunately, the promise of having some of Trek's greatest novelists (Carter, David, and Friedman) teaming together falls way short of the mark. With few exceptions, each of their individual Trek novels have been several cuts above the norm; that Doomsday World never rises above the average makes the result all the more disappointing.

There are some good moments, including Worf saving the day with a barrage of phaser fire (then griping that if he'd been allowed to blast away when he'd wanted to they could have avoided a host of problems) and an amusing, if out of place, Monty Python reference ("What's the average air speed of an unladen swallow?" Geordi asks a bartender).

If you are going to read this one, do it because it's a Trek novel, not because of who the authors are . . . .

This book was written by Carmen Carter, Peter David, Michael Jan Friedman, and Robert Greenberger in concert. I expected a book written by committee to be sincerely bad. The four authors in question are all good enough to rescue this book from that fate, but almost any book by any one of them is better than this one.

Frankly, I thought that the concept was weak; I've read and enjoyed other "shared world" books, notably the "Thieves' World" series and the "Wild Cards" series, but in this case, ALL writing in the Star Trek universe already has all the advantages of such a concept, and I think that, left to themselves, we'd probably have gotten a novel at least as good as this one from EACH of these writers in the time it took us to get this one from the four of them.

The one possible reason for writing a novel this way is that it is potentially more fun for the authors than writing solo. I can see no other reason for the concept. Hopefully, having gotten this out of their systems, they'll go back to doing what they do best: writing solo.

Other reviews have focused on the fact that it took four writer to write this book. So what? It's no giant novel, but it's still a goo story with interesting bit players. The planet's many secrets have fun conclusions, and the characters are well written. I would expect this one would have made a better episode than novel, so try to imagine the visuals. I, for one, would like to see the dueling ambassadors again.

At first glance, this book looked exciting. However, once I started to (try to) read it, I found this book, itself, to be poorly designed. Emphasis seemed to be on slick, glossy pages rather than on content--unfortunate, because my initial appraisal had been, "Great! Full color examples". Sadly, it didn't live up to my expectations. There are better books out there. Over all, worth a glance but not a purchase unless you are just building a group library of information graphics books. I also agree with another reviewer who felt that some of the example designs were not very good.

Helpful, interesting, although not a classic in the same way that, say, Tufte's Envisioning Information is. For every piece of good design in this book, there's another piece which strikes me as quite bad (the Internet map sites in particular suffer from jumbled, cluttered, confusing interfaces). But this book is still a valuable resource for people interested in this kind of stuff.

An excellent book with lots of nice color photos and diagrams. Shows and talks about examples and solutions for informing travellers, explaining how things work, controlling input, interfacing with the screen, exploring the 3-d interface, and map systems.

An abundance of full-color plates and numerous black-and-white photographs made this book worth the modest price. The text is awkward. It sounds as if English is not the author's first language and certain elements of carelessness in the writing suggest that the author was more concerned with the manuscript deadline than scholarship. Picasso's own words, appearing as blocked quotes in the margins are not dated, nor sources given. The reader is not able to chronologically trace the change in philosophy reflected in his words. The text also suffers from an inordinate number of typographical errors. Walther's poorly disguised gut reaction of disgust in describing some of Picasso's work may reflect the reaction his early critics felt in viewing some of his paintings. Walther uses words such as "horror," "grotesque," "misshapen," and "ugly," at one point writing, "Picasso wanted to destroy absolutely everything."

For anyone who is seeking a decent overview of Picasso's work, this is a good bet for the modest price. Granted the writing may seem a bit akward, but it's perfectly readable and not misrepresentative. I admit, I haven't finished reading the book entirely, but there is a fairly concise chapter concerning each stage of his artistic career, and plenty of good color and B&W reproductions that are a good sample of his incredibly large and varied body of work. Anyone who is more than superficially interested in Picasso could never get by on just one book anyway, and this is a very good primer. The best Taschen published art book I have seen.

This book provides a running biography, complemented by pictures of works from all his major periods--blue, rose, analytic and synthetic cubism, neoclassicism, and political art. It is interesting, and certainly hits on all the highlights of his career, but one cannot help but leave this book with a vague dissatisfaction. Picasso is so incredibly prolific that it is an awkward task to attempt to cover his entire career in these 240 pages. The result is more of an overview than an indepth exploration. [Granted, a book like that would fill volumes]...but I think that if Warncke had chosen to focus on just a few aspects of Picasso's work, the book would feel less cramped. This book is an ideal introduction to Picasso for someone who is experiencing him for the first time. However, more established fans of Picasso's work may feel that they didn't learn anything they didn't already know.
