After doing original word studies about this subject years before knowing this book existed, came up with same conclusion. Confirm & check for yourself as you go along & you'll find how accurate, eloquent & in an easy read, this book is. Will also clear-up any questions about the creation vs. evolution controversy. Thankful that this book is available. Can't brag on it enough!!!!!!!!

If you are struggling to find some answers to some of the mysteries in Genesis, this book poses some awesome theories that are alluded to throughout the whole Bible. It is mind-boggling and thought-provoking. Enjoy!

What can I say Big Eyes, Small mouth was like a gift from the gods. I was over at my brothers place for a weekend and he told me about this game. At that moment I made it my quest to get this book. You see I am a huge Otaku (Anime Fan). Well a roleplaying game that you get to roleplay an anime character well how could I not want to get it. I am also a very big person in RPGs as well I have been role playing for 12 years. Played Vampire, D&D 2ed & 3rd, Kindred of the east, Chtulhu, and others not going to name them all. But this RPG I now love more then all the others. The types of Genres and settings are limitless and the only limit you have is your own imagination. You can play anything from Big giant Mecha battles like you see in Robotech, Macross, and VOLTRON!! All the way to your supernatural horrors to even your fantasy worlds like D&D you could even have a game like Vampire. The Characters aren't limited to Races or classes like most games are. Its a very wonderful game. I recommend anyone who is creative and who loves anime to purchase this book. I even have people who hate anime interested in this game and they enjoy playing it. So buy a copy of this book you won't be disappointed.

Where to begin, I have been a DM for it seems like eons, at least 10 years. In that time I have played DnD 1st edition, 2nd edition, and 3rd edition. Also I have played Palladium Fantasy, and Rifts, White Wolf's vampire and Exalted and Mage, Marvel Superheroes RPG 1st TSR edition, and Fuzion, Fudge and well you get the idea, basically everything that exists. In all that time I have never seen anything so easy to use and yet so great and all encompassing as BESM. This game system is very easy to use and can still simulate anything at all that you can think up. The game system is also very flexable and stable meaning that it is very easy to compare character's relative power levels. This might not sound like much but trust me it is. Also what really sold me is the fact that you can create Anything! A God or an intelligent football, anything! It's the best go get it and try it at once!

This book as an amazingly helpful guide. Filled with practical, real world experience, it provided signficant insight into the "real" process of selling a business. As a management consulting I occasionally encounter M&A deals. This book is the kind of resource that I need, and can recommend to my clients.

Great resource! Add it to your library!

After reading this book, I now have a clear understanding as to the steps involved in selling a company - it is far more complex than I imagined.

Charles Calhoun's MAINE is a departure from most travel guides. Rather than just pages and pages of lists of motels, restaurants, and things to see, Calhoun focuses on the state's people (past and present), natural history, and state-of-mind. Instead of simply an address and phone number for the famous L. L. Bean's (outdoor outfitters, for example, Calhoun gives us several pages, including the story of the founder of the company.

The book opens with a chapter entitled "Learning Maine" and is organized geographically into nine main sections which cover the entire state. The final chapter, "Practical Information" gives all the usual, plus "A Dozen Fun Places to Eat" and antiquarian booksellers. Scattered throughout the book are literary excerpts and topical essays by authors such as May Sarton, John McPhee, and Longfellow. There are maps, reproductions of period art, and plenty of gorgeous color photos. Whether the reader is planning a trip to Maine or merely wishes an intriguing armchair journey, this guide is a must.

Kimberly Borrowdale, Under the Covers Book Reviews

An excellent book to take along with you during your travels to Maine. The photos in this book are simply beautiful! The photographer, Thomas Mark Szelog actually lives in the lighthouse on the cover!! I was lucky enough to meet him and he was kind enough to show me some of his photgraphs. Absolutely beautiful work. This is a great book and I highly recommend it when you travel down east!

I was given the opportunity to catalog Dr. Gentry's herbarium collection at the Desert Botanical Garden in 1987-88. I haven't seen the new edition mentioned here, but read the original work at the time I was cataloging his herbarium specimens. Through it, I was able to share his experience as an explorer in the spirit of John Wesley Powell, someone who knew that the American southwest is best delineated by watersheds, not along false lat/long lines. I met Dr. Gentry a couple of times, and remember the occasions well. Last time I saw him, when I was cataloging his collection, I overheard a conversation between him and a consultant for the Fort McDowell Indian Community. The consultant was asking about desert-adapted crop plants. Dr. Gentry went into great detail describing many desert plants suited to agriculture - tepary beans, jojoba, Lippia (Mexican oregano), agave, chiltepines, gum arabic, etc. I learned a lot just by eavesdropping. The consultant listened, but did not hear the words. He recommended that the Fort McDowell people plant cotton. Not because it was best suited to desert agriculture - far from that. They planted cotton because it needs vast quantities of water. They did not want the best desert-adapted crops. What they wanted, instead, was the best crop for wasting water, so that they could establish valid rights to the water. Worse, I watched them clear off vast acreages of mesquite forests to make room for the water-wasting cotton crop. The Hopi call this koyaanisqatsi. This book should help folks in southwestern north America realize that we have a bounteous resource, if we can only learn to use it.

Located in a transition zone between the Sonoran Desert and the tropics,this region is well known for its biodiversity, thanks to a 1942 study by botanist Howard Scott Gentry. Revision of his classic work began before his death in 1993. For researchers, this is a must-read book. It provides a clear overview of botanical studies of the Rio Mayo, a contemporary view of the vegatation, excerpts from the original text and an annotated list of plants.

This book is definately different - each author seems to have their own voice, and from section to section there is something to gain from each. McLaughlin is very humorous in his approach, Graves is very dark and disturbing yet graceful, where Wilson seems to mellow them both with a laid back, depth like fine wine, almost romantic. I've never read this kind of poetry before and I have to say I was skeptical looking at the package -I noticed some typos the editors didn't catch and there was no table of contents, but the words speak for themselves. I hope there will be a sequel, or something further from these authors.

The Gossamer Eye is one of those books that deserves more than one reading. There is simply so much between the covers that, on any given day or mood, you can randonly turn to a page and start and be enthralled by what you find. I don't normally read poetry, but some of the lines/verses were so witty and so imaginative that I found myself smiling as I read. I can see myself turning again and again, for entertainment and inspiration, to this book.

This book is very well put together. The material is presented in, at times, a jovial manner(hard to do with an instructional computer text). It's easy to understand and the authors have an incredible grasp on the subject matter.

I loved the part where the little dog got run over by the truck and little billy ran after him

Learn HTML on the Macintosh is the Best Beginers HTML book I have read. It is perfect for a person who is just starting out with HTML. I highly recomend this book. David Lawrence and David Mark make this book very easy to understand, and provide great e-mail support.

Although this manual is written for Mac users, the concepts arerelevant to anyone new to HTML and will teach you what you need toknow to get started, with directions on where you can go next. The authors have written this book to teach the reader HTML basics their way--the way documentation should be presented to anyone new to the subject. It is fun, it is easy to follow, and it immediately sets the novice at ease. It has an excellent layout, lots of graphics, and every word is relevant. With its accompanying CD-ROM, the book is well worth the price. You can even email David Lawrence with questions. Talk about support! For anyone who has browsed the bookshelves thumbing through the endless daunting and voluminous HTML manuals--mostly written for the PC--this comparatively brief (less than 300 pages) guide is a welcome relief. Let's look forward to a Volume II from these two sorcerers when we graduate from apprentices to webmasters.

Back in the olden days, this was *the* book on learning to write Mac software. These days, with the fancy OSX, and the built-in development environment, and the other stuff and nonsense that makes it so much easier to write for the Mac, this sort of book is unnecessary.

I mean, "Think C"? System 7? What do those mean, eh? I'm talking to you, sonny.

This book is now only a curiosity in the modern world. A side-show in the circus of programming. If you're interested in how we wrote Mac software back in the middle ages of computing, go ahead and read this book. It's the best book on the subject it covers, for what that's worth.

This is the book that taught me GUI programming. It does not make you feel you are reading one of those "dummies" books, but shows you how the Mac thinks and how to make it do what you want. Each chapter pretty much builds on what was presented before.

Once I read this book (not even entirely), I was able to read O"Reilly & Associates "XLib Programming Manual" (I always wanted to write program in X-windows) and understand it completely. If people say Petzold's book is *The* Microsoft Windows book, this, in my opinion is *The* Mac GUI book. HOWEVER, it is rather outdated: it covers System 7 and Think C 5. but then again, I have Petzold's books on Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. ;)

Any real fan of the NBA and its history should own this book. Wonderful pictures on each page with interesting quotes and stories throughout. Does a good job of showing the evolution of the league. The forward by Halberstam gives a unique and thought provoking view of basketball and its impact on our world.

This book celebrates a league where greed now dominates, but where players once played for the fun of it. This book gives a nice summary of each of the NBA's fifty greatest players, and vividly describes the league throughout its first fifty years of exsistance.
