I've been using the Dickson Study Bible since 1979. I have found it very helpful in my study of the word. The notes, annotations, charts, introductions, etc., are the finest I have found in any study bible. Its a hard to find item and well worth the investment for years of service and profitable study of God's Precious Word.

Many have said this is the best "study" bible ever. I agree. I now own one for my office and my home as well as one for each of my kids and my wife. This is a terrific resource with a real dictionary, topical study helps, many notes before and after the chapters and much more. I especially like that the helps aren't mixed in with the text. You need this help.

Finally, a book that speaks to the regular traveller. Dr Travel's often humorous and easy to read tips on all types of travel is entertaining and informative. I've already used some of his suggestions to make my last trip better. I also enoyed the illustrations and real life examples. I would recommend this book to anyone who travels

I am afraid to fly. I am afraid to travel outside my southern Illinois home town. This book helped me to understand the ups and downs of travel. The toll free phone numbers and web pages were a great help in planning the trip of a lifetime...to Hawaii. Thanks to Doctor Travel for his advice and counsel.

After being in the hotel industry for 20 years I thought I knew all the tips and inside information in the hospitality industry. Doctor Travel provided me with insightful, time savings, and economical ways to reduce stress, getting a lower airfare, and make any journey easier. I shared his book with my wife, who does not travel as often, and she, too, felt better prepared for our next trip. The toll free numbers and websites alone make this a book for any traveler. I strongly suggest that you take him on your next vacation or business trip.

In this latest installment of Outlanders, only the awesomely talented writer Mark Ellis can give you dinosaurs, vikings, and a renegade Russian in just one novel!
This was definately worth every sacred nuke penny I spent on this exciting and breathtaking book. This author always succeeds in one level or another to keep this series going strong with subtle changes that only seem to enhance future books to come.
Where DEATHLANDS is failing miserably (unfortunately) OUTLANDERS delivers in spades with each and every successful novel poring out of this highly talented writer.
Kane and Domi start this novel right off while hunting an unusual old foe - Monstrodamus! A dinosaur that Kane had briefly fought on Thunder Isle in a previous book.
The action is hot and furious and the characterizations of the leads characters keep you up to the wee hours of the morning, not wanting to put this book down.
From the hot jungles of Thunder Isle, to the freezing colds of Antarctica, where vikings out of legend emerge, the excitement never stops in EQUINOX ZERO!
I just can't wait for the next one. This is by far the very best in sci-fi/fantasy action/adventure entertainment out there today.
Hollywood needs to open their eyes to this series - it would be a mega-hit the likes of which they have never seen!

Equinox Zero is another full-speed, balls to the wall, no-holds barred adventure novel. It has all the elements which has made this series so entertaining for so many years. First and foremost there's the return of a villian who last we saw had fallen off a cliff in Asia, way back in Iceblood.

It's Grigori Zakat, the ruthless Russian mystic whose religious cult worshiped the mummified penis of Rasputin (I can't think of too many bad guys with that kind of bizarre wrinkle in their backgrounds).

He's pretty angry at Kane, but his mission isn't just about revenge--he's making a bid to take over Ultima Thule, the lost land of Norse gods and become a version of Odin! Unlike Sindri who is an idealist bent on world conquest as a means to to an end, Zakat's ambition to trigger another ice age is the end to itself. The way he's portrayed makes the reader believe he could really pull off his mad dream.

The lost civilization novels in Outlanders are always my favorite and Equinox Zero might be the best using this theme. The civilization of super-Vikings under the Antarctic is very vivid and colorful. I particularly liked the warrior women, the Valkyries.

I also loved the opening chapters set on the Outlanders version of Jurrasic Park, Thunder Isle. There Kane and Domi are engaged in a dinosaur hunt, trying to end the threat of a tyrannosaur that Kane has nicknamed Monstrodamus. The hunt goes really bad but in the process we see a glimpse of a potential Kane/Domi relationship...particularly after she falls into what is a dinosaur latrine!!

As usual for Outlanders, it's the three dimensioanal characterizations that make this book so entertaining. Every book is almost like a visit with old friends now, finding out what they've been up to and what's been happening in their lives. All of the characters are in fine form, each one contributing a full share even the new ones from the Moon base. We also learn more about how the Imperator restored Lakesh's youth and find out it may not be the miracle he tried to convince himself it was. Grant also has some distressing news for his friends in Cerberus.

My only complaint with the book is that Shizuka has only a minor role. Her first appearance, way back in Doom Dynasty was a case of love at first sight.

This is a tight, fast-paced adventure story with plenty of action, exciting twists and unexpected turns. The lost land of Ultima Thule is a great concept, too. Equinox Zero is a solid five stars

I always wondered by Grigori Zakat never returned after his first appearance in Iceblood, considering the obvious effort involved in creating him.. Now the twisted Russian priest is back to bedevil the Cerberus warriors as they learn Zakat's ultimate goal is to trigger a another ice age and unite the survivors under his rule, his edicts enforced by Norse warriors from the lost land of Ultima Thule!

The set-up for Equinox Zero is terrific, featuring a Kane and Domi team-up on another "Lost World", Thunder Isle which is populated by all sorts of creatures pulled from different epochs of time. I think this element of the Outlanders saga is wonderful, offering many story springboards.

The scenes of Zakat's piracy with the Thulians are exciting. A standout sequence is a sea battle between Zakat's forces and a trading ship from New Edo, which tips off the Cerberus warriors that their old foe is back. Grant's anger directed toward Kane when he learns this is very realistic .

The exotic scenes in the timeless world of Ultima Thule are extremely well- wrought. Mark Ellis portrays the city from the days of ancient Norse mythology with colorful splendor,

There are a lot of high points in this novel: a great villain, excellent characterizations, a fast-paced plot, and incredibly exciting action sequences. Add them together and you have a superior Outlanders novel on every level. A must-read!.

This is one of the best sci-fi novels I have ever read. The story is great, science is intriguing, and the author uses science to solve a 50,000-year-old mystery discovered on the moon. But wait -- just when everyone thinks they have solved the riddle, MORE clues surface from a 25 MILLION-year-old spaceship found on Ganymede. Hogan weaves an intricate tale in and out, around and through, the rational beliefs of the engineering and scientific status quo. It's Quincy goes to the Moon and beyond. It will leave you wondering if it actually could happen. You won't be disappointed.

My 6th grade homeroom teacher, Mr. Ed Silcox, opened my eyes and changed the way I saw the world and science by recommending this book in a "book show-and-tell" session. Believing that anything that Mr. Silcox recommended *had* to be pretty good, I ran out and bought it and never looked back! This is the single best science fiction book I have ever read -- I cannot give it better praise. Like a good mystery, you'll never guess what plot twist is coming around the next corner and like a good puzzle, each piece builds upon the last one. You'll want to read this again after you're done.

This is real science put into a narrative format - if you've never been into science before, you'll see it in a new light. For you science buffs out there, this is what you've been waiting for - smart, educated people doing exciting things with their minds, not lazer guns and rocket ships!

The sequels are also very good -- let's just say at the end of Inherit the Stars, there's still a lot to be learned about the mystery astronaut from the moon!

Thank you, Mr. Silcox!

A 50,000 year old Astronaut found dead on the moon? Hogan makes the story and the science understandable and plausable. One of the best Hard Sci-Fi books I've ever read!

I sincerely feel that the NOAA Diving Manual should be a required text for anybody who is a diving professional. The information presented is valuable to all divers: recreational, technical, scientific, and commercial. I refer to this text often and bring it to all classes I work.

This is by far the best and most complete collection of diving knowledge i have seen. It is not an introduction to diving, but realy a manual for all levels of divers, from the novice diver searching for futher information, to the experienced instructor looking for the latest updates. Dont miss it.

Great Book. Invalueable to anyone from rec. divers to commercial/tech divers. Now I'm waiting for the 4th edition to come out.

This is, by far, the finest Bible I've ever had the awesome opportunity to hold in my hands and heart! It is a "door-opener" for all those who NEED to READ the Bible, but who balk at being given one, saying, "I can't understand all those begats and that old language."

I simply hand this God-Blessed Bible to someone, and say, "What do you want to read about? Family? Prophecy? Satan? Just look at the bookmark, and thumb through this Bible until you find verses that are the COLOR you are looking for! It's THAT easy!" They are ALWAYS amazed! I have no idea how many copies of this Bible I have given away in the past 10 years, nor do I know how many more I will gift others with. PLEASE never let this one go out of print; people NEED it too much!

As a 52 year old female, I have never been very good at remembering dates and names and places. This study bible has been exactly what I needed to enable me to remember more of God's word. The Rainbow edition's color code seems to make things stand out and become more personal to me. Thank you for making it easier to study and read this book of God's words to us.

I HAVE TRIED TO READ THE BIBLE FOR YEARS,ALWAYS FAILED, GOT CONFUSED.WELL, NOT WITH THIS ONE, THE REASON, IT IS COLORED CODED ALL THE WAY THROUGH,& YOU WILL KNOW WHAT EACH COLOR REPRESENTS,FOR INSTANCE,PROPHECY WILL BE A COLOR,&HISTORY,A DIFFERENT COLOR,ECT.ONE MORE THING I REALLY THINK IS GREAT, IN OTHER BIBLES,ONLY IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,IS MARKED WHERE JESUS SPEAKS, IN THIS BIBLE,WHENEVER,"GOD,THE HOLY SPIRIT,AND JESUS" SPEAKS IT IS UNDERLINES, SO IT IS VERY HELPFUL,& MAKES IT SO EASY READING. YOU KNOW,WHAT YOU ARE READING, WHAT IT MEANS,& ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS "OUR FATHER,SON OR HOLY SPIRIT.I'D LIKE TO BUY EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY ONE.IT REALLY IS WELL PUT TOGETHER& I ENJOY READING THE BIBLE NOW,BECAUSE I DON'T GET LOST& I LOVE TO READ,& I GOT TELL YOU,"THIS BOOK"(THE BIBLE) IS A BEST SELLER. IT IS HARD TO FIND,I KNOW OF TWO PLACES THAT SELL IT,AMAZON IS THE CHEAPEST YOUR GOING TO FIND IT,I GOT MINE FROM [local store] ,AFTER TX,S/H,IT WAS [expensive] DUMB! I DID NOT CHECK AMAZON FIRST.REGUARLESS,IT IS WORTH ANY AMOUNT, BECAUSE THIS BIBLE YOU WILL READ& IT WOULD BE THE PERFECT GIFT FOR ANYONE,YOUNG&OLD,EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY & FRIENDS THAT SEE IT,WANT IT!THIS ONE WILL NOT BE IDLE ON YOUR SHELF, HONEST.

This bible has proven to be one of the most useful books that I have ever read. Its charts, articles, insights and challenging questions compel you to read and study with a greater desire to practically apply what you have learned. I have cast away a lot of other study material, not because it wasn't good but because this bible contained all the tools that I needed. I have used it extensively with my church and highly recommend it to you. GET THIS ONE!!!

I really have found the book very easy to read and understand. for a begainner the person would find it understandable. the book is a good source of information.

This is probably the best study Bible I've ever read. It has so much help for anyone seeking the truth of what the Bible is all about. It opens windows to understanding the Bible and completely erases any difficulty or dryness. The Bible has come alive for me and I understand so much more because of this Study Bible. It's awesome and well worth every penny. The definitions, maps, comments and helps in understanding how it relates to me and my life are life changing for me. The Bible has now become more than just my favorite book, it has become life giving and teaches me daily how to live for Christ and remain faithful to His Word.

Last Man Out: A Personal Account of the Vietnam War by James E. Parker, Jr. is the best book I've read in a long time. If this author didn't have a tape recorder or a diary that he wrote in everyday then I have to say he has a most remarkable memory. James takes the reader back to his home in North Carolina and introduces his family and friends. He continues as he makes the decision to enlist in the Army at a time when others were already doing everything they could to avoid serving their country. The reader goes through Basic Training with James and his buddies at Fort Gordon, Georgia in February 1964. Two months later after being named "Outstanding Trainee" James reiterates some of his time while at his Advanced Infantry Training. You are there when he signs up for Officer Candidate School and while he waited to be selected. You go through that six-month course with him too beginning in November at Fort Benning, Georgia. Upon graduation James goes to Jump School. From there the book gets even better. James first Permanent Party duty station was at Fort Riley, Kansas with the 1st Infantry Division. Then through his Tour of Duty in Vietnam. James told about an encounter with General William Westmoreland following a mission. The general flew in to review the troops, present medals and then was gone. It was a mere media event. When the general departed, another officer walked the line and took back the medals. After Nam James next assignment took him to Fort Ord in Monterey, California. He became the Officer-in-Charge of the 6th Army Area Drill Sergeant School. It was a great assignment. BUT James was thinking about leaving the Army but he "felt guilty about forsaking my duty, abandoning my obligation to country at a time of war." Unable to find a job that suited him he applied for and was accepted as a member of the Central Intelligence Agency. By September 1971 James was headed back to Southeast Asia "as a case officer in the Lao program, the CIA's largest covert operation." James was involved with several operations before heading stateside in 1973. He spoke openly about them. By January 1975 James was the only American left in Vi Thanh province. At that point he secured himself a "bodyguard." James wrote of the fall of Ban Me Thout, Hue, Da Nang, and Saigon. He took part in the evacuation of the Vietnamese who worked as agents for the CIA. He spoke of the problems encountered onboard the USS Vancouver and the transfer to the USNS Pioneer Contender. James Parker Jr. wrote an incredible account of his military and civilian service to our country and the people of South Vietnam. It is a book well worth reading. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet the author in person in 1998. AND I'm glad I took the time to read his book. You will be also.

This book is a necessary and thorough follow-up to the author's first account of his involvement in southeast Asia on behalf of our government: CovertOps. It is yet another compelling story in exquisite detail and poignant analysis of his development as an infantry officer into a paramilitary officer and finally into a skilled case officer for CIA. It provides the essentials for anyone considering such a career, as well as properly articulated facts for historians and others who are interested in hearing "the other side of the story" about those who served with honor, dignity and courage (or as he would put it, "hang")in a noble cause to preserve, protect, and defend freedom on behalf of our country. His wit, humor, objectivity, and humility are testimony to his credibility as a professional in service to his country and as a skilled writer. Read now with the advantage of historical hindsight, it brings into focus with uncommon clarity and precision what we were fighting for then, and the political and social values that our efforts there continue to serve our national interests today, despite what many conclude was a lost war.

The subtitle "A personal Account of the Vietnam War," turned out to represent the contents of the book. This book was very different from superhero soldier book.

The author began with his experiences being recruited and trained. He recounted what it felt to first arive in Vietnam, and what his thoughts were during his first encounters with the enemy. Mr. Parker takes us through his experiences until at the end of the book when tells us about the confusion surrounding the end of the war.

In reality, Mr. Parker could be considered a superhero, not for his ability to handle weapons, but for fighting in what he believed was best for Vietnam and for the people.

I Just Love Applegate. She is the best and the Making Out series is too awesome. I can't wiat to get the newest book. But they come out monthly and my friends in England are up to like thirty something. That is so unfair! In this book I can't wait to see what happens to Zoey and Lucas And Jake and Claire. I just hope that Claire doesn't get with Lucas it just wouldn't be fair for Claire to get him AGAIN!!! I just hope that Christopher also realizes that its wrong to get revenge no matter how sweet and everything works out for Zoey's parents. The only person who has their head on their shoulders is Benjamin and I'm starting to wonder what'll happen to him. E-mail me and we can discuss the upcoming books.

I love the making out series and Ben's in love is my fave. but this is my second fave. Since Zoey's parents are getting a divorce and have a half sister things are confusing for her. but something happens between lucas and claire which i wasn't expecting. I think Nina and Benjamin make the cutest couple and i recommend Lucas gets hurt. I can't wait for the next book Aisha gets wild.

This was an awesome book!! There were so many dilemma's. At the end Lucas seems like he is fighting for his life. Why? You'll just have to read the book but, I can tell you this much, you won't regret reading it (unless you haven't read the other 6). Katherine Applegate did an excellent job with this series. There are so many cliff hangers. I really suggest you read this series.

If you're someone who consantly worries about gaining weight, measures all your food, and consistantly checks the labels of food for caloric and fat units, this cookbook will be the temptation you must resist. This is OLD SCHOOL cooking; food fried in 6 inches of animal fat, lard or similar. TONS of butter, biscuits, gravy and grits.

According to Villas, "the Southern day begins with a hearty breakfast" such as Ham with Red-Eye gravy, fresh country sausage, crusty Green Tomatoes, and Real Grits (recipes for each are found within, of course). Villas's Mother, Martha Pearl, has combined backgrounds from the Greek and Swedish heritage both families share and adds her own special Southern touch to create fabulous luncheons for bridge clubs, church bazzares and charity get-togethers. My favorite is a lovely recipe for Lemon Tea Bread- light and rich all at once, it's a perfect bread for a light tea, or, as I often do, to bring to a get together when a dessert is requested (never fails to draw "oooh's" and "ahhh's"). From her homemade Macaroni and Cheese to an impressive recipe for Shrimp Bisque, you'll find this cookbook is a great investment. I love the way Martha Pearl watches all her family members, her children included, as they embark on trial recipes of their own- she then adopts these recipes herself, but adds her own little touch (Villas lovingly included Martha's recipe cards and notes- such a personal touch!). Still, she always gives credit to whom it is due. The hallmark of a truly great cook!

These are not recipes, however, that one can consume on a regular basis. Almost every recipe calls for either butter, cheese, heavy cream, lard, bacon and/or bacon grease, sausage, etc. Some recipes are lighter than others, but believe you me, these 'aint "low-fat recipes", and that's just fine with me, baby. I'd rather eat the hard-core real stuff in a limited manner than gorge myself on tasteless, fun-free low fat foods (ugh, ugh, ugh). If truly great food is a party for all five of the senses, "My Mother's Southern Kitchen" is your ultimate party guide. Forget the usual shee-shee-poo-poo ingredients fancy-schmancy recipes call for (you probably can't locate in your supermarket anyway)- this is where taste sensation begins!

This is the cookbook I can pull out and count on to produce a wonderful dish every single time. I haven't come across a dud yet. Martha Pearl is delightful (and yes I AM hinting for a dinner invitation) and so are her recipes. The macaroni and cheese is a family favorite that already has stains on the page because I make it so often. The pecan coffee cake is another recipe I have made many times and always get compliments on. I live near Charlotte and keep hoping to run into Jimmy and Martha Pearl picking over the Silver Queen corn at the farmer's market. I would unabashedly tell her what a devoted fan she has made of this transplanted Yankee.

James Villas makes no apologies for the simple ingredients that yield such delicious fare as found in this delightful cookbook. He makes it clear that these favorite foods of his childhood -- and adulthood -- depend on high-quality products and correct techniques, as well as the appeal of knowing that generations of his family have enjoyed and refined the same dishes over many years. Both reference guide and a slice of Southern culture (who won't love the inimitable Martha Pearl?), this book has a place in all kitchens. *Among many recommended recipes: Cheese Biscuits (you Southerners know that these are savory little party snacks, not bread), Yellow Squash Souffle, Crab Bisque, Peanut Soup and 1-2-3-4 Cake with Caramel Sauce
