Warhammer 40K stories have been more about the setting than the story. It's interesting to see some of the background, but for the money you're better off reading something else.

This and Dark Imperium are a collection of short stories. If you think 40k is for you this will give you an all round view that can't be beat. Some of the stories were exceptional but with short stories they can't all suit you. I liked both and would recommend them to anyone.

Warhammer is a universe that is constantly at war. Humans, chaos soldiers, dwarves, elves, ogres, dragons, tyranids, griffons, eldar, daemons, mages, and countless other beings make up this world. Into the Maelstrom is a gritty collection of twelve short stories that are all set in the fantastic universe of Warhammer. The good thing about short stories is that they are straight to the point. There are not any boring paragraphs because most of the stories are less than thirty pages. Each story(except one) kept me entertained and I can't wait to get my hands on another Warhammer novel.

This book is a bore!If the author wants to write a book then she should at least write a decent one.

This story is beautiful, written in a way that moved me to tears more than once. I felt so sorry for this old ugly Appaloosa gelding but oh, he proved to be one of the most courageous horses that I have ever read about. When his children were in danger, old Chief came through like a hero and saved them from vicious dogs, losing his life in the process. It makes me cry just to write about it! But as sad as it was, this is a very good book and deserves to be included on the "must-read" horse book list for horse lovers.

this is the best horse book i fond it in the librairy and rent any time they have it's the best i recomend this book to all horse lovers. any one who dosen't like this book must not have any taste. becase to me it's the best ever!

Like the first reviewer, I agree that the author develops his political idealogy at the expense of the characters. The plot moves at glacial speed, never reaching moments of true tension. One particular frustration is the Erinye, who never become important characters although the author keeps teasing us with them.

While I read and enjoyed Dunn's "Days of Cain," this book shares a weakness of that novel, although it is more prevalent here.

The ideas in "Full Tide.." are interesting, and the concept original, but the characters seem little more than mouthpieces for various political and idealogical points of view, and the plot moves at a sluggish pace.

While I'm not advocating a book full of bone-crunching action, I did want a novel where I cared about the people in the story, and what happened to them.

In "Days of Cain" I felt the emotion of the situation. Here, I didn't feel I got inside the characters heads or feelings enough.

Not recommended.

J. R. Dunn is definitely a science fiction writer for the nineties. In his latest book, Full Tide of Night, he tackles the subjects of terra forming, artificial intelligence, religion and revolution in his own inimitable fashion. The hardware-driven stories of the past are not his forte. If I have a quibble with Dunn's writing style, it would be that he tends to over-analyze his subject. I tend to like a more direct writing style, one that moves along at a brisk pace with less time spent at the scenic rest stops. Yet, this very aspect of Dunn's writing is what makes it so memorable. You close his book on the final page of the final chapter and find yourself thinking about what he so punctiliously taught you about the human condition. Full Tide of Night is a classic "What if?" story, as is so much of science fiction. What if you could leave the problems and mistakes of earth behind and start all over again somewhere else? Would you avoid the pitfalls of those historical figures who went before? Would the society you create be a utopia? Would the place you adopted as your new home become a second Eden? Dunn focuses his laser intensity on these subjects, providing a thoroughly interesting read in the process. Some complaints have been made regarding his political and religious views, as reflected in his writing, but I feel he handles each divergent point-of-view with a surprising amount of even-handedness-developing sympathy in characters many would write off as despicable. Dunn isn't a gadget writer of science fiction. He doesn't trot out all the hardware and revel in its "gee whiz!" features-like a car salesman. He introduces what future technology there is in matter-of-fact terms and as it would be in real life. Sometimes he has some fun examining it through the eyes of people not familiar with it but, for the most part, his futuristic technology is viewed by his characters as we would view a plane, a VCR, or a cell phone. Even when he deals with artificial intelligence, it is highly anthropomorphic. I feel he does this on purpose, for AI is a construct of man, and what would we be most comfortable with? As science fiction goes, this is a five star read. Full Tide of Night is easily as good as his previous book, Days of Cain. I'm impressed with his choices of subject matter in each of his novels. Dunn seems at home in any milieu. At the end, we realize Full Tide of Night is, as are all memorable stories, a people story. We also realize that Dunn is, after all, a writer of people stories. They may be dictators, heroes, or fools but they are first and foremost people.

It's not even a book. It's a photo copied ringed binder. I was surprised that Amazon marketed this as a ligitimate book published by a real publisher. It is an absolute joke.

Using just a few of the principles found in this book is helping me turn my sites into cash generators instead of just static sites hoping someone will stop by. Thanks Declan for providing information that truly helps the average, everyday person become successful in this awesome frontier called the Internet.

I bought this book from Amazon and the advice it offered has enabled me to boost the profits from my website considerably. There are so many invaluable tips in here that I keep referring to it daily.

I have to admit I have been very impressed by the interviews in the book (everyone loves case studies) and the practical tips. It is the type of book I will keep coming back to for guidance in my net-business.

It's not a cheap book, but I suppose you have to invest to make money. And with Dunn's book you are getting the BEST.

This is the biggist load of crud I have eva read in my life, 3 kids in my class commited suicide when reading this book.

Harp in the South givs the readers an over view of what happened in the early 1940's in the city of sydney and the suburb of surry hills. the darcey family tell a story of what happened during there days at plymonth street and it shows us the experience they had during their lives in sydney. Harp in the South experiences alot of pain, hardship and the joys and saddness that people of the lower middle class experience........

Really this is a great book i have newver before seen something that can so easily empty my stomach and I am just amazed that such a gory description of death and murder can be written in english beats a trip to the morgue anyday

I taught from an earlier edition of this book at Ivy Tech in Bloomington, Indiana while working on a PhD at Indiana University. Ivy Tech had already selected this text. Too bad. While that was around 1994, I can still recall a number of FACTUAL ERRORS. I had to tell my students that the text was wrong. Among the errors: The clear implication (though not explicitly stated) that the algebraic numbers included all the reals - that is they didn't even seem to be aquainted with the transedentals; there was another error regarding conditional probabilities... I can't recall exactly, but I can remember showing the errors to fellow doctoral students (now at UN, Reno and UC, Davis) for a good laugh. What were the reviewers doing? I guess they're a bunch of incompetents as well. To the publisher: Have some real mathematicians review math books.

I have been teaching out of Angel & Porter for the last three years. It has quite a few good examples, though I agree with the first reviewer's comment that it does need more challenging problems.

Among the topics I have covered are: inductive reasoning, set concepts, symbolic logic, truth tables, algebra, applied geometry, probability, statistics, and mathematics of finance. Though the examples are laid out fairly well for those who are mathematically inclined, the teacher who happens to have quite a few students with weak mathematical skills is often finding himself or herself in situations of having to create ways to become an effective expositor of mathematical theorems and applications. In other words, by trying to explain what the authors are providing in their examples, the instructor is frequently shouldering the added burden of making this book come to life not only from a mathematical perspective but also from a communicative standpoint.

On a positive note, however, there are several excellent applications, and the range of topics is quite broad. Oftentimes there is a gap between the level of advanced high school mathematics and that of a four-year university that is so serious that even a student who performed A's in high school will struggle in the type of college math course he or she is placed in. Fortunately, Angel and Porter have been able to fill in quite a few of the missing pieces.

This book does the job of teaching some mathematics to those with liberal-arts majors. However, over at Wayne State, we are constantly bemoaning the lack of extra problems for students to practice what they have learned (especially in light of the fact that we cover only half of the chapters of this book in a single one semester course). This is especially apparent with the probability and statistics chapters. Overall I can see this text being a commendable effort on the part of Angel and Porter to bring mathematics to those who would normally shun it.

I was turned on to conscious divorce by a friend who had given it rave reviews. After reading the book I found myself wondering what the big deal was. Well it turns out there were two books that came out in May/June of 2001, that were both entitled Conscious Divorce. I wasn't paying attention to the author and purchased Dunn's book instead of Susan Allison's Conscious Divorce : Ending a Marriage With Integrity: A Practical and Spiritual Guide for Moving on. This book was fresh, insightful, and a wonderful guide for navigating through a divorce.

-James Connor

I thought Ms. Dunn was able to capture some of the true moments that some divorced couples experience...And some of the true desires......

It wasn't one of my favorite books to read. Too boring. I mean, Danny D-... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Oops sorry. Just an example what I did while reading the book.

The Danny Dunn series was definitely the most popular science fiction books for children during the 1960's.

If I remember the storyline correctly, Danny Dunn was a teenager(?) who lived with his mother who worked as a livein housekeeper for Prof. Bullfinch, an inventor. The Professor was a father figure and mentor for the young Danny.

Each story centers around some new invention that the Professor has invented and the adventures that Danny gets involved in along with his best friend Joe and girl friend Irene. (If I remember the names correctly.)

Unfortunately, the "science" of these books is a little outdated since some of the inventions that appear (like a personnal computer in "The Homework Machine") have moved from "fiction" to "fact". Still, it was a very enjoyable series and I would love to see them back in print.

The "Time Traveler" story is very similar to the storyline of the "Back to the Future" movies. Prof. Bullfinch invents a time machine which transports his entire house, along with the Professor, Danny and Joe inside, back to the 18th century and it appears in the backyard of Benjamin Franklin. Unfortunately, since there is no electricity coming to his house in the 18th century, the Professor cannot power his time machine to take them back to the future. They enlist the help of Benjamin Franklin and ... well, you can guess what happens next.

This book could have provided the Hofner enthusiast with more. There is just basic information on some of the models and some pictures. It is missing so much on the bass that was made famous by McCartney. It was kind of a let down but if your happy with some basic info and a few pics then this book could be for you.

I was very disappointed in this book. After waiting 26 years for more info on Paul's bass, this edition is pretty thin. The author has many good pictures of vintage instruments, but he could have included so much more. There is no info on current players, construction details, care and maintenance, or tips and techniques. The author is obviously a Paul fan, which is ok, but their are other dimensions to this story. If you are looking for a "owner's manual" for your Hofner, this isn't it. If you want pictures of your bass, you will be happy. Go on and buy it!

I would go further than the other reviewer and call it stupid. Not much substance and poor story lines.

I give this book only 3 stars because, although the story line of all 3 stories are interesting, sometimes they gave me this-is-kind-of-silly feeling. The frist story, Firebird, is about Reynata, an orphan girl who had big secret of shape shifting to a red fox on the full moon. As long as she's not a 'whole' human, she couldn't get married...specially to Lord Drake, the only man of her dream. The beginning of this story is quite interesting when each character was introduced. However, feeling between two main characters developed in such an extremely short period of time..too short for even a novellas and a bit quite not-impressive ending. The second one, The dancing shoes, this is my most favorite in all three. The plot came from familiar fairy tale telling about a group of young girls who found a secret passage way in their finishing school to the prince music room and a young headmistress who followed these girl into the passage way and ended up finding the love she always longed for.. This story is cute and funny, in my opinion although I think, it's kind of too short and ended while I was wishing for more, It's the best of all three. The last story, King Thrushbead, is the most silly one. However, it's very funny. The story is about a young Lord Elias who tried to court his dream lady, Lady Artemis. However, after 10 long years, Lady Artemis was not as sweet as she used to be. And our hero suspected that much that she was brainwashed or under some kind of spell. So being a descendant to a good wizard, Elias tried to performed a spell to transform his beloved lady back to her sweetself.. Unfortunately, he's not a talented wizard as he thought he was... While Elias'mother tried to undo all trouble our hero made, both Artemis and Elias learned to care for each other... and finally, 'They all live happily ever after'... So if you think you can tolerate a bit of sillyness and don't mind fairy tale based romance, you are good to go with this book. But don't expect, very romantic, very passionate stories from this book. The good point of this book in my opinion is, it's stress free!! Although not 'really really good' one. I think, I enjoy it in some degree..

This book is a great deal of fun. It consists of new fairy tales, written in the Regency period. The stories are clearly taken from familiar tales, but changed with many fun twists. Light but charming stories. The rewrite of fairy tales gives this book a sophistication that many regency books lack. I've shared this book with several friends and no one wanted to put it down before finishing it. Well worth your time to read.
