Dominator Flashback
I have always heard a great deal about the B-32 from my father who was a B-32 flight engineer during WW-II. But due to the low production numbers there is not that much out there on it. Getting this book for dad for christmas was a great gift. He enjoyed it very much and the accuracy of the information was right on. This book is a rare find and a great gift for those lookin for info on a little known aircraft.

Great book for beginners.
My only complaint is that not all exercises identify which muscles are being strengthened. I attend a Golds gym that uses Icarian equipment. Most machines have a front and rear view of the human form with areas of the body highlighted for each muscle being worked for each exercise. It would be nice to have something like this in the book. Other than that, there are 115 pages of exercise technique with pictures. Almost every exercise is covered.

Where did the diving go?
Although being an instructor and supposed to teach others how to dive, including dry suit diving, I've never had a dry suit diving course myself. Till I bought this book I've brought on my own experience - I thought I would have a guide that could break my self-taught bad habits.
Not so. This book gave me a lot about the history of the development of dry suits (which very much took place in my neighbourhood) and a lot about maintenance and caretaking of dry suits. These subjects deserve the three stars rating. But I still dive like I did before, as the useful tips of actual dry suit diving are scarce and should not be the reason for buing this book. Or, on second thoughts - isn't there more to dry suit diving than this?

Very Informative
We found this book very informative. In addition to teaching the aspects of dry suit diving, it also tells you how to maintain your equipment properly.

It's okay, but lacks real content -
It's okay, but lacks real content I am a REAL Chinese, I can tell that Eric is not. His book is very superficial and many points have been taken/copied or a similar to many other books and information available. Nothing new has been presented except for a change of names and illustrations. However if you are a Westerner who likes to collect books for the sake of collection or want to see a summarization of more authentic books and deeper information then this would be the book for you. It makes a good "coffee table" reading for those with no time. In this case, the price outlines the quality of the book. You pay for what you get. There are many other books available which have higher quality and content. When looking at a taoist book you must look at the author of the book and his/her credentials. As a general tip. In searching for a traditional chinese taoist book find a taoist.

It is really opening the Golden Flower
One of the best books I have ever read on Chi Kung. Master Yudelove really teaches with his hearth and energy in his book. It is a rare experience to follow the guidence describe in the book. I have already advise to read it to all my Chi Kung students here in Turkey. Thank you with all my hearth.

100 Days to Better Health, Good Sex & Long Life: A Guide to
'100 Days' will last a person 100 years. Full of valuable information, it will take much longer than 100 days to incorporate. A friend and I did the 100-day program and found this only long enough to skim the surface. Now on my second go-through of the program, I am taking a month to do each of Yudelove's weekly exercises. This book is a basic text for anyone interested in understanding and practicing qigong - or anyone who wants to know how energy influences the body, mind and health. Highly recommended.

The Most Worthless Book
my friends and I call this the worthless book in the World. WOD does not surround around combat. This book gives new rules for combat that aren't better than the old rules. The book goes over old rules. Personaly I don't need 50 guns listed and 15 melee weapons to play an RPG.

Pointless and Self-Contradictory
Even if you're uninterested in roleplay, and are in it merely for hack and slash, this book will do nothing by detract from your game. The rules are far more complex than they are realistic or likely to allow a player to change the outcome of combat with a stroke of tactical inspiration.

The way of "Street Fighters"
This book is based upon the rules of "Street Fighters", which was unsccessful series in White Wolf products. I thought that the combat system of "Street Fighters" was not so playable for "role playing game style". This book contains the same problem. But this book show us how the creatures of World of Darkness fight with martial arts. That is interesting to me.

A little bland but good for your health
White Wolf tends to give a better thought to the bad guys than to the good guys. At best they are portrayed as good intentioned guys but with the wrong ideas. This is not the exception, i liked the book, but a lot of what it contains could have been out and never been missed. The Aberrant design team should really decide if they are planning to publish character sheets or just an average of the powers and abiilities because in some supplements you can find the whole stats and in other just an overview. The Proteus section is O.K. but i am getting tired of the all powerful conspiration behind the scenes guiding your actions. They are necessary for the system but in the end it all stays in the middle without any real juice given, i really liked more the Teragen book and what you are going to find in this one you can come up with. They still need another book to be better than the original rule set.
