I've played them all and I have read a lot of books so I was curious to see what Chronopia had to offer. Wow is the first thing that comes to mind. The book is just fantastic.

It starts with a detailed history of Chronopia from its Third Age into the Fourth. This history is rich with detail and clever ideas that present a world unlike anything we are used to seeing. Sure it has Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs, but they are presented so clearly it was like seeing these races for the first time.

The rules for game play are simple enough, but the richness of the setting translates directly into the eight kingdoms presented in this book. They are full of rich detail and interesting in the extreme. I found myself unable to put it down as each page promised something exciting with each turn. I haven't had this much fun reading something since Game of Thrones.

From a book standpoint, it is a delightful read. From a game standpoint, it is equally vibrant and chock full of permutations that will appeal to any gamer. If you weren't into miniatures games, this still makes an excellent backdrop for a role playing game.

Best [X] I've spent in a long time.

I found Hartmann's Hunter/Farmer take on ADD an interesting way of recasting ADD as something other than a disorder, to help people with ADD create a positive stories for and about themselves and their ADD. If it helps even a few people improve their self-esteem, then it's worth considering.

However, as an adult with ADD who was diagnosed just a year and a half ago, I hoped to to find some helpful hints to improve my performance at work and in my every day life. Hartmann is a bit long on new paradigms but a bit short on "This is what you should do" type advice. Still, I'm glad I took the time to read the book and get to know his ideas and perspective on ADD.

I have struggled with ADD my whole life, was diagnosed 7 years ago, and only today am I beginning to really begin to gain a grip on my disability. This book has been a real help to me as I begin to do this. It has provided a series of interesting and import ways to look at ADD rather than bashing my head against a wall as if I understood. Rather, I needed a combination of clinical and personal perspectives that this book is great for. I would only say that I wish that there could have been a greater discussion of how, I as an adult can begin to structure my life in a better way as to minimize the effects of ADD. Instead, I think too often in the book the author resorts to more broad summations and issues rather than getting on his hands and knees in the dirt with me. I think that criticism should not overshadow though the great insights this book holds for all of us who are beginning to make that change with our lives or those parents figuring out how to deal with their children's diagnosis.

Thom Hartmann is somebody who seems to really understand what ADD is all about. This is a great book that brings up some very interesting points. The section about education and learning is outstanding.

I think all people who have ADD themselves or care about a person with ADD should read this book. This is a great book somebody who us just begining to learn about ADD. It's also a great book for somebody who is looking for a different view of ADD than doctors and other my be giving.

I think anybody who has an interest in ADD should read at least one of Thom Hartmann's books.

This is a good book on church growth, even though it is hard to understand at some parts. I used this for a class on Evangelism and church Growth and really enjoyed it.

First book was good. well.....Now they (or Mayne himself) is/are not moving foward. repetitious schemes with minimal ideas. Graphics drowned in mindless Form-z models and renderings. Mighty Thom Mayne has lost his creativity.

One of the few architecture books at the brick and mortor bookstore that isn't sealed shut with shrink wrap. After I flipped through it I immediately bought it through amazon. It is designed by Cranbrook design superstar Lorraine Wild, the design perfectly represents what Morphosis is about. I take it from the other reviewers that they only looked at the images and did not read anything at all because they did not "get it". Their work is delivered as a cyberpunk novel outtake, the setting an industrial dance club with torture devices. There is a wonderful surreal short story that acts as a sort of guide to viewing the work as well. I am not an architect but this is inspirational enough for me to spend half a decade in school to become one. Reminds me of the Jean Tinguely book published in the early 70's (with sketch overlays) and a similar design philosophy as Low/Tek

Being an architecture student, I constantly refer to many books, and Morphosis is one of my favourite contemporary architecture firm. This is really a thick and quite a heavy book. Its a compilation of many of Morphosis' work. Their "Best Of.." volume. This marvelous edition is divided into 2 parts. The first part consist of many colourful computer generated views, elevations, plans and 3D computer models etc of their buildings. The 3D models give a good visual understanding of their complicated but exciting buildings. The second part consist of essays by Thom Mayne. The thing about Morphosis is Mayne's writing is clear. He states his intention and theories clearly without getting out of the subject of architecture much. He talks about the difference between a project and a building which is a very good way of looking at architecture today. The graphics and writing provide a very clear understanding of their buildings. The bottom line is, if you like Morphosis, you'll love this book among your collection.

Most of these recipes are either common sense or don't work. Stick with magazine recipes and modify them accordingly. The book is also too small and thin to be sold. Better make it a free pamphlet.

This book is terrible, may be worth buying for the comic relief. I can't believe anyone does this--or that anyone would have so much free time on their hands and so little life that they would think of these techniques! You should see some of the thing they suggest. I saw the author on Rosie , and wasn't sure if he was serious or not so I checked out the book. I think he's serious. He says he's an MD--hm, hope he's a little better at treating patients.

I travel in my profession. Traveling is not always glamours. This book has allowed me to eat healthy and relax in my hotel room. I have also given it as gifts for graduating seniors. College kids love to try different and fun things. The reaction has been very positive. I recommend it for gifts.
