And let me say that it helped me a lot. My writing got better, and, more importantly, my reading comprehension got better. The "try this" exercises bring out the AWESOMENESS in you... as do the end of the chapter exercises. Not buying this book would be a mistake.

rosenwasser's insight into the difference between criticism and analysis is of partiular interest to me. ''writing analytically'' explores the discipline that is the journalist's, the intellegence gathering professional's and the academic's with a lively, engaging style that resembles more the work of such popular non-fiction writer/academics as stephen jay gould and loren teshenti.

Great mix of robots in this book--some "standard" variations on familiar prototypes (using UBS parts) and some pretty out there ones as well that I would have never thought of. Excellent book. I've seen the RIS one that came before this but didn't buy it--I'm going to go back and get it now.

This book of wonderfully placed poems and photographs reminds us that there is an unhurried world of beauty right before our eyes. We all need that breath of fresh air to remind us that the world is more than hurried phone calls and grocery lists. This book provides that needed reminder to truly appreciate our natural world. What greater service could a book provide !?

This book tells the tale of the rise of one of Ireland's greatest professional cyclists, Stephen Roche. It is co-authored by David Walsh, who also wrote the definitive biography of Ireland's other great professional cyclist, Sean Kelly.

Roche describes his humble beginnings as a milk man apprentice for his father through his rise through the ranks to become only the second cyclist to win the "Triple Crown," the Tour of Italy, The Tour of France and the World Championship in 1987.

Packed with details only an insider would know, Roche and Walsh have written a highly entertaining and informative book about the world of professional cycling, the greatest sport in the world.

My son (3 years old) loves planes, trains and automobiles. This story has so many of them (a car, train, boat, plane, dump truck, bicycle, race car, and even a whale!) as it takes you on an adventure whereby when you shout "ALL CHANGE" your mode of transportation changes. The short rhymes are catchy, the graphics are really nice. It's an action-packed adventure to enjoy.

I highly recommend this read to anyone interested in WWII or anyone who has experienced it. I'm 32, and I learned a lot about the war that our grandparents didn't like to talk about. The letters that Mr. and Mrs. Lane left behind are true treasures. It was like the letters were being wrote to me. Very romantic, emotional, sad at parts and happy at most. I don't think I've ever read a book so fast, just so I could find out what was happening next. You'll laugh, cry, and WON'T be abole to put it down. This makes a great gift for anyone. I bought one for my grandmother, and she loves it! My grandfather was in the war, and I know she can really relate to it. ENJOY!!

This amazing book folds and opens out as a HUGE pop-up history book...from the Big Bang to the 20th century. Each 'slice'of pop-up history shows they way people were in ancient times. Illustrated in a lively and humourous way by Stephen Biesty, this book is sure to keep anyone bored, busy. This amazing book can even be hung up on the wall; great as a unique decoration, toy or classroom tool.

"Men today are angry. Their anger is deep-seated and, like their other emotions, carefully guarded and controlled most of the time. They may not know why they're angry."-pg. 12

Can an angry man come to terms with the truth about his manhood, competence, worth, and limitations? Sociologists are saying that the modern man is angry, unsure of how to carry off the masculine role and are straining to live up to the masculine myth.

Some men are angry and they don't even know why.

These angry men are often unwilling to talk about their emotions and have locked themselves deep inside their own personal thoughts and feelings.

Does this sound familiar?

-A driver cuts in front of him or tailgates and he freaks, calling the driver all things awful.
-He is passed over for an expected promotion. The world ends.
-Spending the holidays with the in-laws is the worst part of his life
-You don't meet his domestic and romantic expectations.

Is there a furnace of anger burning inside the man in your life that is just waiting to explode or boil over into your life? Has it already started boiling over? Is it presently poisoning your relationship?

"The Angry Man" shows what happens when this deep rooted anger starts to ruin relationships, jobs, health and even life.

The authors state that some of the root problems are not having a father while growing up, unrealistic expectations of manhood, low self-worth, failure and role confusion.

This book contains miscellaneous information about the Mythos collectible card game. It contains: the rules of the game, a FAQ, a short play and deck construction guide, a sort of designer's notes on the game, background information on selected cards, rules for solitaire play and creating your own adventures, a complete spoiler list for the limited edition of the game and lists of card attributes and requirements for completing adventures.

As a collector and player of the game, I found the designer's notes on the history of the game and the design philosophy to be especially interesting. Also useful to me are the short notes on the background of selected cards and the rules for creating and scoring your own adventures. The pictures of the selected cards are black & white with a paragraph of background info. Buyers should also note that there is an updated version of the rules of the game at the Chaosium website.
