I am a 53 year-old male just learning to hang glide. I found this little book to be of great help. The tips and suggestions made my first few trips much more successful, and pleasurable. I would recommend this book to all those who want to get into this great sport. It does not take long to learn, and with this book, you will be flying in no time.

Don't let the size of this book fool you.
ID put together an incredible program with Quake series,
and this is THE book to read about it!
Good Job.

Escape To The Hawaiian Islands is a breathtaking compendium of Bob Holmes outstanding photography, enhanced with Paul Wood's informative text and the combination makes for an ideal guide for what to do and see when visiting the Hawaiian Islands on pleasure or business. From hiking through a bamboo forest to stargazing on a mountain top to the excitement of a hula festival, Escape To The Hawaiian Islands is as entertaining as it is informative. If you are planning a trip to the islands of Hawaii, begin with browsing the pages of Wood and Holmes' Escape To The Hawaiian Islands!

This is a very good book. If you are a modeller, so buy it. If you, like me, is just interested on this subject, buy it as well. Comprehensive photo material and superb color plates. Unlike in Albatros Aces, this time Mr. Franks has added a good number of accounts, some personal, of the events about the units and the men who fought in and against the famous, although short lived, Fokker triplane, the "Red Baron" included. Excellent.

Mr. Holmes's love affair with, and possibly his night dreams (hopefully less traumatic than those of Mr. Cope) of dinosaurs reach embodiment in Fossil Feud. A result of over ten years' research, this book is informative and easy to read. The text is not only child-friendly but educational for adults like myself who have had little previous exposure to these fascinating creatures of yore. Mr. Holmes's scientific and historical exploration is detailed without being tedious, leading to a smoothly flowing narrative (as a historical writer, I know how difficult this can be!) I found the use of period photographs and drawings and the illustrations of Mr. Clement to be very engaging.

In addition to explaining the benefits and liabilities of scientific research as lived out by Messrs. Cope and Marsh, the author provides many other useful features within the covers of Fossil Feud. Mr. Holmes gently encourages the reader's further exploration of dinosaur lore by including a list of rules for what makes a dinosaur a dinosaur, diagrams of basic anatomical and physiological features of a dinosaur, a geologic time line, a listing of the 335 genera of dinosaurs in the order in which they were discovered, a reading list, and a listing of North American dinosaur museums.

Fossil Feud is a valuable tool, both educational and entertaining, which leaves no stone unturned, as it were, in its goal of completeness and accessibility. I highly recommend it.

In a stunning edition limited to only 500 copies, Frank Paul Sauerwein is the result of a collaborative effort by Michael R. Grauer (Rio Grande Trust), Elaine Maher Harrison (Rio Grande Press), and Steve Holmes (Burro Alley) and provides the reader with a vividly enhanced biography and analysis of Frank Paul Sauerwein, a master painter of the American Southwest who lived from 1871-1910. Sauerwein's brief life, brilliant career, and untimely death are explored in this extensive study of his work, which also showcases his memorable artworks in full color. The powerful, earthen tones and Sauerwein's human and realistic portrayal of Native American subjects in his art mark this limited edition volume as an unforgettable biography and a strongly recommended addition to American Art History reference collections.

This book has all the information about her and things that I really didn't know. I love the section where the compare her(Katie Holmes) to Joey (the character on Dawson's Creek) and how differently she is to the way that she appers on the show.

Fans of Conan Doyle's adventure fiction now have an important reference to consult when considering his works and settings: a survey of the Napoleonic era which influenced Doyle to create the character of one Brigadier Gerard, whose adventures ran after Holmes had been killed off in 1893. This study considers all his Napoleonic works, analyzing methods and plots alike.

This text details nearly everything one need to know for a basic understanding of radiation effects on electronic components and systems. Lots of very useful tables and graphs that are needed nearly daily by the radiation experts as well as the beginners in the field. Andy & Len have done a great job putting all this information in a very understandable format. A must reference/test for everyone in the Space Radiation business. Dr. Michael K.
