I first came across the '92 version of this book and have had many years of excellent use out of it. The updated 97 version was found by accident in a local book store.

The new version has been updated somewhat though sadly with the omission of an interesting Abbey in Wales. It does however still retain a captivating selection of unusual Hotels to stay in.

What seperates this book from crowd for me is the simple yet accurate descriptions of the Hotels. I have given it to many a visiting friend to help enhance their journey across this green and pleasant land.

Highly recommended.

This is an excellent book on stratospheric chemistry and transport. It reads much more quickly than the denser "Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion" reports issued by the WMO, but it still includes all the important details. Even though it specializes in stratospheric chemistry, many of the concepts can be applied to tropospheric chemistry as well. Highly recommended.

The author put the bare essentials of imaging in a very simplified detailed manner and is easily comprehended by all levels of individuals, in particularly technologists whom are starting in the field.

Thorough facts on equipment are presentd in a very easy to read style that is soothing to the reader.

A must buy for all budding technologists who want a good textbook on equipment as well as for future reference in their later years of practice.

On September 17, 1868, Eugene Carr's Fifth United States cavalry guided by "Buffalo Bill" Cody, surprised and attacked Tall Bull's village of Cheyenne Dog Soldiers at Summit Springs, Colorado Territory. In one of the hastily abandonded lodges, a ledger book was found which had been initially captured by the Cheyenne during their retalitory raids following the Sand Creek massacre four years earlier. In the book were drawings of events of great valor done by Cheyenne warrior/artists.

The authors have reproduced the pages of the original ledgerbook in their original size and have added very detailed explainations of the drawings.

This book is very well researched and produced. David F. Halaas is the Colorado State Historian and Andrew Masich is a past president of that organization.

There is a reason that Vampire head developer Justin Achilli considers the Chicago by Night book the best of the city by night sourcebooks. It is.

Since it's publication, arguably more gamers have set their chronicles and campaigns in the World of Darkness city of Chicago than any other location. The politics, the intruige, the power struggles and the beautiful storytelling make this setting one of the most exciting and evocative places in the entire WOD.

The tales of Prince Lodin and the Succubus club are well known by nearly every Vampire player, and they started here. If you're a new storyteller or and old master, pick this book up, even if you don't intend to use it. You'll be glad that you did.

What impressed me most about this work was the masterly and elegant prose style. The cosmology of Berger-Kiss is served so well by his wonderful story-telling abilities, the flow of language building to hurricane velocity in a climax worthy of the greatest writers of our time. This should be required reading in all introductory history of ideas courses. My congratulations to the author!

If you are an educator, at any level, or just have an interest in children's film in general, you must read this book. It is a very concise overview of the theory behind most of the important periods of critical theory. As the genre of theory changes, at times slowly, at times with a rapid pace, this book explains what you need to know. Excellent reading material for anyone with an interest in film.

This volume brings together a number of China specialists to discuss the political, sociological, and economic causes and consequences of China's economic reforms.

James R. Andrews' "A Choice of Worlds: The Practice and Criticism of Public Discourse" is an ideal choice for introducing college undergraduates (or even high school students) to the basic mysteries of rhetorical criticism. In Part One, "The Rhetoric of Public Discourse," Andrews establishes a series of practical and critical principles based on the centrality of the relationships between a speaker, an audience and a message understood in relation to its context. In Part Two, "Speeches for Analysis and Criticism," look at each of his six principles through a pair of speeches, the complete texts of which are included at the end of the chapter. For example, "The Primacy of the Audience" is presented through a critical introduction, "Peace Among Ourselves: Lincoln, King and the Rhetoric of Unity," which uses Lincoln's "Second Inaugural Address" and King's "I Have A Dream" speech. Other chapters include speeches by Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy, Thomas Jefferson, Winston Churchill and Malcolm X. "A Choice of Worlds" is an introductory text, refined over the years by Andrews at Indiana University, which will provide students with an appropriate grounding in the study of public discourse and prepare them for the next level where they will study specific rhetorical theorists such as Aristotle, Burke and Toulmin. However, this text more than adequately establishes the basics.

I first heard Andy teach on this subject over a year ago. It's a life-changing and necessary book, and I don't know any family that couldn't benefit from its message.

"Choosing to Cheat" is built on the premise that everyone cheats somewhere - there aren't enough hours for everything. Tragically, it's easier to cheat our families than than to cheat at work. Andy not only tells us why we should cheat at work; he also tells us how. Ironically, cheating at work can make us more productive.

I needed to read this message again, because it's always easy to return to old habits. Highly recommended.
