A great adventure book with lots of new information
This books has great information on the Moon and Mars, some of the moon stuff isn't in Luna Rising. It also has more stuff on Aberrants. More technology, hard and bio, and even some other. It provides a good starting place for beggining GMs and even players. It also gives a good look into peoples lives on other planets, and psion interraction. Not a must have, but very usefull. It gives lots of ideas for games.

An interesting begining for a great storyline.
Even better that the player's guide. With the full color illustrations and dazzling page layouts this is a must ready for any Sci-Fi fan. (And be sure to check out the inside back cover. ;-)


Do Them No Harm: An Interpretation of the Lewis and Clark Expedition Among the Nez Perce Indians
Published in Hardcover by Legacy House (August, 1990)
Authors: Zoa L. Swayne and Carol Ann Goodrich Bates
Average review score:

Do Them No Harm
Few books have been written that tell about the Native American's side of history. This book tells about the Nez Perce stories of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in Idaho. Zoa Swayne spent decades interviewing tribal elders and studying the journals before putting this book together. Clark met 3 Nez Perce boys on the Weippe Prairie, Zoa discovered the names of 2 of the boys. Lewis and Clark spent 2 1/2 weeks in the Nez Perce country building canoes before continuing on to the Pacific Ocean and nearly 2 months on the return trip, so there is a lot to tell.

The world as Indians saw it
Ms. Swayne has done an excellent job of telling the story of one indian tribe's encounters with American explorers. Not really a portrayal of Lewis and Clark themselves, it is more a glimpse into what the world looked like to the Nez Perce 200 years ago. It's told from the Indians' point of view, based on oral and written history collected after much research by Ms Swayne. Each stage of the unfolding story is contrasted with entries from Lewis's and Clarke's journals. The different views of the same developments provides real insight into the different world views and problems faced by the Indians and the explorers.

It's a fairly short book written in the style of a novel, and is a good relaxing read for adults or teenagers.


Wireless Broadband Handbook
Published in Paperback by McGraw-Hill Professional (25 July, 2001)
Author: Regis J. Bates
Average review score:

The basics
If you do not have any technical experience in wireless and you are looking to get a grasp on the basic technology, applications, and market, I would recommend this book. Sit down read it through quickly then move on. If you have moderate wireless experience and are trying to get caught up on 2.5G and 3G technology and standards, this is NOT the book.

Beyond this point, I found that Bates repeated the same information time and time again without any new twist. I can not say that I will forget what he had to say, but he did not enrich the information. He also prognosticates based upon inspiration without any facts. After the latest "hockey stick market" bust, I would be careful basing any demand and penetration projections on historical information.

Finally, do not use the table of contents as an indicator of the depth of this book (like I did).

Recommended for technical and non-technical people.
This book covers broad range of wireless topics in a handbook
format. Naturally there is no deep analysis of any topic and
no mathematics inside. The book is not 500 pages but only 384
pages. Some parts of the book and some figures directly come
from the author's another famous book named "Broadband
Telecommunications Handbook" by the same publisher.

I recommend this book for technical people to refresh their
knowledge and to have updated information on today's wireless
technologies. This book would be suitable also for non-technical
people in telecom field to have a general overview. There are
some errors in the book as usual but can be ignored. Some
descriptions are not cristal clear like the one on CDMA and
could have been better. It is an easy reading good book after
all and wellcomes to any technical library.


Across the Great Divide : Explorations in Collaborative Conservation and the American West
Published in Hardcover by Island Press (December, 2000)
Authors: Philip Brick, Donald Snow, and Sarah (Bates) Van de Wetering
Average review score:

Hope in multi-stakeholder conflict
This book showcases how people can work to come to collaborative agreements over natural resource issues - if they get tired enough of fighting. Set in the West over the battle for water, stakeholders ended lawsuits and tried to reach win-win situations on their own. They succeeded in several instances, no small miracle. A great book of interest for those interested in collaborative decision making and natural resource conflict.


Alien Encounter: Invasion (Trinity)
Published in Paperback by White Wolf Publishing Inc. (February, 1999)
Authors: Andrew Bates, Michael Lee, Jonathan Woodward, and Jeff Rebner
Average review score:

A well thought out book
This book has a wealth on information on the Chromatics. That makes is valuable in itself for the Game, but teh galaxy shaking events that happen in the story add even more to its worth. If you plan on running any campaigns in Trinity, this is a must, it give information, serves as a springboard for your own ideas, and even gives youa glimpse at what White wolf could do next.


All about Laura
Published in Hardcover by Century (January, 2002)
Author: Bates
Average review score:

Great English Chick Lit
I have found a new author and her name is Susannah Bates. She's wonderfully clever and smart. Her books are fun, romantic and all the best things that go into "chick lit". "All About Laura" is a charming look into the lives of Mel Ashton, your everyday London girl, just looking to be happy and live her life. David is her devoted "suitor" and the ensuing tale covers a long and winding road of romance and misunderstandings. It's a charming and quick book - and perfect for a summer romantic read.

Cheers!

The Bible: Designed to Be Read As Living Literature the Old and the New Testaments in the King James Version
Published in Hardcover by Poseidon Pr (November, 1993)
Authors: Ernest Sutherland Bates and Lodowick Allison
Average review score:

Highly readable way to dip into the Bible
This book is a true benefit to those who wish to read and understand the Bible, but have had trouble getting into it because of all the 'thee's and 'thou's' therein. Most of the stories are there, told in an easily readable manner, allowing the reader to grasp the book's teachings in an easy way.
Though it doesn't purport to take the place of the Bible, it does lend itself to easing the reader into it, should the reader choose to do so.
And, if not, at least it gives the reader a good foundation in Biblical teaching. I highly recommend it!
