This book is basically a rehash/rewriting of the material in Farrar's Witch's Bible. It really only contains ritual material and very little theory. This isn't a great book but it is better than the Llewellyn insty-witch materials flooding the market these days.

For a solitary Witch like me, I found this book a very interesting and clear descripion of the coven tradition. I read it because I wanted to know what a coven was like, and now I have a much better understanding of it.

At last a book on Wicca that pulls no punches! J Philip Rhodes book on Wicca really hits home, the author has a real understanding of the subject and it's plain to see that he has put a lot of thought into it's contents. A complete working guide giving the full Initiation rituals as well as festival workings in a step by step guide that leads you on a journey of Knowledge the likes of which I have never seen before in print outside the Craft. Included within the author descibes the working tools and provides recepies for ritual incense etc. This book would grace anyones collection A MUST BUY for both the Initiated and beginer alike.

RAND, as usual, produced a first-rate study here. In this text, they looked into commercial SATCOM for Department of Defense use, what roles it should fill, and cost comparison between DoD-owned satellite versus commercial satellites. Many graphs adorn the text, adding useful information to make conclusions clearer and vivid. Anyone interested in commercial satellites and the role they should play for the DoD should buy this book. No hyperbole or propaganda here, RAND's text is useful text and solid conclusions that layperson and communicator alike can understand.

Sure, this book has some helpful hints and ideas, but it has got to be the most difficult book to read of any on the subject. The bulk of the book consists of parenthetical, smart ass digressions. Of 149 pages total, the book is 83 pages short and the other 66 pages are appendices of other books to read as well as films to see. They never do break down a "micro budget film" into $5000, $10000, or $25000 a day as their title suggests they will. My suggestion is to buy any other book on the subject (maybe even one they recommend in their appendix).
