This comic book version of Pokemon 2000 tells the whole story of the second pokemon movie as well as the short "Pikachu's Rescue Adventure" in glorious detail. It contains just about every scene from the movie and as an extra a mini pokedex on the non human stars of the movie like Lugia and Slowking.

I recommend it to anyone who loved the movie.

This year, I am graduating high school. For 12 years, my body and mind have been focused on school, friends, and getting by. Winnie the Pooh has also been a favorite of mine since childhood... I discovered this book last year. It speaks of changes in life, finishing a task and beginning new ones. This story, in a way sums up what every high school and/or college student goes through when they graduate.

Power Macintosh Programming Starter Kit is an excellent book on PowerPC programming. Mr. Thompson has gone to great lengths to present as much information on the inards of PowerPC programming that the average programmer can handle. The code examples were very informative, and the example programs were actually useful. Recommended for anyone who is interested in PPC programming.

I just wanna thank Veena for creating the ultimate gift to women who struggle with balancing family, work, school, EVERYTHING! I found this book really easy to use. I no longer have to bang my head over what to make for dinner!

Thank you

This is one of those rare books that could easily be overlooked, which is a shame because of its value in bringing some of our early 20th century Presidents back to life. Author Charles Willis Thompson was a journalist who covered and personally knew figures like President (Theodore) Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson. From first-hand experience, Thompson's descriptions of their different personal and administrative styles, as well as their varying relationship with the press are fascinating-- his level of detail and personal knowledge would be impossible to replicate. Originally published around 1929, it's amusing to hear Thompson speak of these people in contemporary terms. But the real charm of the book lies in its humorous anecdotes-like T.R. on the campaign trail and his walking in on his staff's poker game. Thompson writes in a very straightforward manner, never shying away from revealing his impressions-while his admiration of Roosevelt is obvious, so to is his impression of President Harding as little more than an imbecile.

The book re-humanizes these famous leaders and dismisses some of the widely-accepted misconceptions that history has perpetuated about their personalities. When a historian writes for the hundredth time that Roosevelt was a "vigorous, adventurous figure," does this really tell us anything substantial? A prior familiarity with these Presidents or the time period would be helpful as it probably wouldn't work well if you're looking for an introductory book or in-depth biography about these men. A fun read for any history buff...

It was like remembering my childhood all over again. If Robert Thompson could only explain the love for the Three Stooges

A well-respected more mature work than his famous dramatized novel about Judah ben Hur and Christ, which was written following its success after Lew was Minister to Turkey. However, it also deserves your attention and the motion-picture screenplay adaptation is available (ISBN 1-895507-82-0 ...).

Since 1992, John Boorman and friends have put together Projections, a yearly forum where filmmakers from all disciplines write about their craft. Projections 4 was published in 1995, to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the first public exhibition of the Lumiere Brothers' new invention, Le Cinematograph.

This year's edition is split into seventeen articles divided into six sections. The Centenary begins with a transcript of a 1948 interview with Louis Lumiere, followed by what has perennially been my favorite continuing section, The Burning Question. This year's question, "In this year, when we celebrate 100 years of cinemas, what is the greatest gift and worst legacy of the movies?", is answered by 16 directors from all around the world, whose careers span the past half century. Some answers are short and to the point, while more than one filmmaker spends pages clarifying their viewpoint. Then Martin Scorsese talks about his former fears of shooting anamorphically.

The Journal. Every year, Boorman recruits a director to keep a copious diary recounting their previous year. In 1994, Boorman asked writer/director James Toback, whose year started out with a large quake in Los Angeles and proceeded to go downhill from there.

The Career talks to Arthur Penn and Ken Burns about their years struggling to maintain their individual vision.

The Process is rather self explanatory. Six articles about filmmaking from various points of view. The first two cover Oscar winning screenwriter Leslie Howard's tumultuous Hollywood career, in his own words. We then move to a dilapidated theatre in New York, where Louis Malle, Andre Gregory and the cast of "Vanya on 42nd Street" offer their views on making this unique movie. Sound design guru Walter Murch speaks about the early days of American Zoetrope and sound in cinema. From the Malaysian set of Beyond Rangoon, John Boorman has a great exchange with Eddie Fowler, longtime prop master to David Lean. This section ends with cinematographer John Seale comparing his collaborative efforts with many of his directors.

Gotta Dance includes what became one of Gene Kelly's last discussions about the art of choreography in film. Sally Potter adds her thoughts about dance in cinema, during post production for her own "The Tango Lesson".

Farewell sums up the lives of two artists who were lost in 1994, Federico Fellini and Sandy Dennis. The book ends with Lindsey Anderson's summation of working with John Ford on The Quiet Man.

I bought the first Projections book on the recommendation of a filmmaker friend shortly after its release. I have pre-ordered every issue since, often before I even knew what the contents would entail in any particular year. The entire series has consistently been that good.

If you are a major film fan or a budding filmmaker, this series must be on your bookshelf. Although, if you are like me, they'll never spend much time on the bookshelf.

I have read other real estate books, but Property & Politics "No Problem" is by far the most informative, helpful and unique. Thompson shares a wealth of government planning experience with the reader and provides advice and guidance through a government system of rules and regulations affecting real estate. As a planner myself, with over 13 years of local government and private planning experience, I have had similar experiences to those referred to by Thompson, so I know how much people need this information and appreciate the benefits of this book. Thompson has covered all the major areas where government and real estate come together; topics such as zoning, building, community future growth plans and public hearings. The book is well written and concise, in language that is easy to understand. If you are looking to buy or build a house, develop property for any residential, commercial or industrial purposes, or if you're just making a trip to city hall or your county government offices, read this book first. I highly recommend it.

Simon-Smithburg-Thompson: Public Admninistration was my first text book in English - year 1968 at the University of Tampere, Finland. I have beeen professor of Public Administration since 1980. Still, it a classic.
