strong anthology reprinting legendary 1970s-1980s tales
CONAN THE SWORDSMAN, the latest reprint of the now legendary 1970s-1980s Conan revival, is a marvelous short story collection. Each story holds its own with the overall Conan mythos and most add depth to the celebrated character and his world. The delightful eight stories are well written with each tale co-authored by L. Sprague de Camp (had to be a Howard clone) with either Lin Carter or Bjorn Nyberg. Especially good is "Legions of the Dead" that Robert E. Howard would have believed he authored because it reads so much like his original works. Equally fascinating to readers is a seven-page essay that provides plenty of insight into Conan and his world as well as Robert E. Howard from the late L. Sprague de Camp's perspective. Fans of Conan will want to read this wonderful anthology that showcases one of fantasy's most endearing and enduring protagonists.

Constrained Optimization in the Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control Theory
Published in Hardcover by CRC Press (1992)
Authors: John Gregory and Cantian Lin
Amazon base price: $74.95
Used price: $45.00
Average review score:

An excellent textbook for students
The book covers ordinary optimization problems (constrained and unconstrained) and nonstochastic continuous-time dynamic problems. Its chapter on numerical theory and its appendix on related books are particular useful. The book presents optimization problems in a very understandable way. With many examples and graphic illustrations, students would be able to understand the materials easily. I would use it as a textbook for students in economics.


A Course in Gb Syntax: Lectures on Binding and Empty Categories (Current Studies in Linguistics Series, No 17)
Published in Hardcover by MIT Press (1988)
Author: Howard Lasnik
Amazon base price: $40.00
Average review score:

Absolutely excellent introduction to GB theory
This is by far the most readable introduction to GB theory I have ever come across. It does presume some knowledge of very basic syntax, but everything it covers from there on is explained very clearly. Granted, it was written in the late 80's, but this is all stuff you still ought to know! If only others could follow Lasnik and Uriagereka's lead...

Best book that teaches DOS
This is the best book I have come across in teaching DOS. I have not found any equivelent book that even comes close to this book.

DOS is an essential part of Windows NT, Windows 95/98, and OS/2. At some point users will need to utilize DOS for a wide range of chores not provided by a GUI interface, especially for server and development environments.


Earthquakes and Volcanoes (Reader's Digest Pathfinders)

Author: Lin Sutherland
Amazon base price: $18.99
Average review score:

Great tool for teaching about Earthquakes and Volcanoes!
This is a great book for anyone interested in earthquakes and/or volcanoes. The book is divided into three parts: the Dynamic Earth (dealing with the inner earth); Earthquakes; and Volcanoes. I liked the vivid illustrations and photos. As a geophysicist by training, I found the "hands on" experiments quite easy to follow and a great way to teach science to children. A great find!

best of the kind in the market today
This is the best Chinese book I ever had to review for our school. It is an excellent textbook series suitable for a wide range of students, from beginners to the very advanced. The best of all is that it covers not only the langage itself but also the Chinese cultual. It helps the readers in a great deal to gain in-depth understanding of the subjects.

The Best of the Best
Based on my experience with this book, I would recommend it to anyone planning to learn chinese since I have used this book and is currently on level 6. I have not only learned the language, but also the culture and history. This is a great tool for any Chinese language learner, either beginner or intermediate. At first, I was reluctant to learn chinese. Now, I feel that I have more of an understanding of the amazing Chinese language.
