I liked the book because it let you see from the wolfs point of view. I also liked the book because it told you every little deteal there was. I liked the drawings to because the ilastrater used lots of color. The athar Dave Sargen is cool because he tells real stories.

I think you should read this book because you learn how to share. It is very entertaining. I really liked it and you would to if you read it. This kind of book is really cool.
Dike and his brothers are hunting for their food. Dike chases a deer into the woods and he got lost. Dike didn't come home for about three or four days. He learned what is okay to eat and what isn't okay to eat and what to stay away from. Some things can get him sick. If you like wildlife adventures this is the book for you.

This wonderful paperback is a great buy for anyone who attended the National Gallery exhibit in Washington D.C. recently. The quality of the prints do a great job of capturing the beauty of Sargeant's work. The text is somewhat "high brow" for the layperson, but gives an interesting perspective regarding the works included in the exhibition. The book is an excellent way to remember the exhibit without spending a lot of money on a coffee-table type of book.

This is a very well put together and well printed interpretive work on the paintings of John Singer Sargent. The coverage is insightful and the quality of the printing is superb. It is the best companion publication to the exhibit which is currently held at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. and later to appear in Boston. The official catalog of the exhibit disappoints as it leaves out a number of significant works that are covered under this volume. This is a must for any nineteenth century art enthusiasts and a must for fans of Sargent and portraiture in general.

I enjoyed this novel a lot. It was fast moving and the megacorporate plot was truly serpentine. Among the characters is a master plotter nearly equal to the corps in Geraint, unlike most SR novles where straightforward hoop-kicking runners figure things out through shear grit and persistence. England in the world of Shadowrun is a dismal place and Sargent and Gascgoigne capture this feel well. The ending is also as bittersweet as it should be. Most Shadowrun novels have happy endings, which seem out of place in the grim future dominated by megacorporations.

One of my favorite Shadowrun novels. I highly recomend this to all Sci-fi/fantasy readers.

A very honest study of Honor Moore's grandmother Margarett Sargent. I was impressed by the amount of research that went into painting a portrait of a complex and intelligent woman and artist. A certain amount of sympathy is felt for Margarett, yet she was a proud independent woman whose strength inspires. For me, Margarett's life transcended the label of "wealthy society woman." She had great talent that she put to use. With all the advances in anti-depressives and the treatment of bi-polar illness one wonders if the mental illness that helped suck her into a vacuum of loss would have been able to do so in this decade. In the end, her loss became our loss. Honor Moore did a great thing by keeping her grandmother's memory alive so that we could revisit her colorful art and life. A great read

Honor Moore spent more than a decade researching the life of her grandmother, the painter Margarett Sargent, in an attempt to understand why she stopped painting in middle age. "It was too intense," was all her grandmother ever told the author, late in the ex-painter's long life. Ms. Moore attempts to show that the demands of Sargent's privileged Boston society lifestyle forced her to give up her art and contributed to her madness. A wonderful read, and a surprising insight into the creative process, especially in a woman. --Jack Sheed

This book is worth buying for chapter 8, "Comparison Of Aspects" alone. All the possible planetary combinations are worked through one by one, giving clear guidelines as to the corresponding kind of interactions between the two individuals concerned. I have often found it very handy to pull out an occasional quote from this chapter when presenting a chart comparison. I have not seen such concise, top quality, synastry information anywhere else.

Otherwise, great astrology but not so sure about all the relationship advice! Written in 1958, some of the attitudes towards relationships and partnerships inevitably seem a bit out of date and rather limited e.g. many comments about the leadership of the man and the domesticity of the woman in marriage. There is still much good common sense here, even though much of it seems rather obvious at the beginning of the 21st century.

Another criticism is the notable absence of ascendants and midheavens in the comparison of aspects, especially as the author states quite early on, "most important in judging attraction is the aspect between the ascendant of one chart and the planets of the other".

This is a very good reference book for synasrty. There is a complete section in the book that describes all the possible chart to chart planetary aspects and their meanings, that are very useful when analizing the interaction between two pople in relationship. The only thing that is missing here are the aspects from the planets to the angles ( ascendant, midheaven etc)., that is a bit of a shame, as it would really make this little booklet the most thorough synastry reference book yet. As it is , it is still extremely useful and when i was beginning astrology I used it constantly. I think i have now dowloaded it directly into my brain, as i do not seem to use it as much, but i am still referring to it in my mind. One could say i used it so much, i know it by heart. A very useful little booklet indeed.

I bought this book in the 1970's in Sacramento, California. This is by far the best book I have ever bought for Astrology. It emphasizes self-understanding & speaks in real English for any type of Astrologer. It shows you how one person ineracts with another person. Age has nothing to do with relationships. Astrology chart comparisons do. Parent-Child, Family Relationship, Friendships, Bussiness, & Love and Marriage.

Star Trek novel's are a dime a dozen, and many of them are worth a dime. Not this one though. This novel is childish, boring, and poorly written. The story opens with a completely laughable idea; a number of planets have acquired virus' on their database. Apparently, in the authors minds these planets have only one database and never make backups. So the plot starts off dealing with the natives upset at the Federation for downloading virus' and causing them to loose all their history & data. Stupid. Now the main part of the story deals with what the authors call a "mobile". Actually, its a big rock with some sort of intelligence.

The writing is childish, with conversations sounding like it belongs on Disney. Also, the author's use the word "murmur" everywhere. No one really says anything in this book, they murmur it.

I would recommend murmuring over to a Peter David novel, or some of the surprisingly good William Shatner Star Trek novels.

Don't waste your dime on this murmur.

An abandoned space habitat is found within an asteroid belt and is heading strait for the sun. Kirk, Spock and the rest of the gang discover an artifical world full of technological marvels and unexpected dangers. Now Kirk and Spock must find a way to save a nearby planet from distruction and time is running out...!

I hope everyone who is a Star Trek fan will buy this book and have a chance to enjoy it as I have. This book is full of action and keeps you interested till the end. Although, there is a bad part about it. It ends.

Night Below is an excelent campaign, taking a party from 1st to 10th level or beyond by the end of its third book. The setting is well established from the beginning, giving the PCs a place to base their adventures and a megaplot that really lasts for the whole of the module. The end is worth the effort, a grand finale that will leave both DMs and players satisfied. Presentation is lavish, there are lots of eye-catching handouts and three tactical maps (I wish there were more). The only problem I see is the lack of unity in the second book - it is mostly a series of unconnected dungeon crawls, clearly intended to fill in the gaps and give the PCs much needed experience. As the module itself suggests using other adventures to provide experience for the players, they could either skip those unrelated episodes altogether or work harder to make the descent into the deeper underground a more coherent part of the plot. But that is easily corrected, so maybe I'm being too picky:-)

The reason this story works is because the authors made it different in these ways:

(1) They put in actual methods to negotiate. So, rather than just bash everything, PCs can talk their way out or even make alliances. Additionally, not all the creatures of the Underdark are out to kill you so it allows more chances to talk things out. ;

(2) There's a great deal of context and History; especially in book one in the area of Haranshire (a backwaters shire); good to great character descriptions.;

(3) superb overland map you can share with your players (just don't show the back); include a few battle maps for key sections of the long adventure);

(4) Lots of overland adventures; some not just fighting but puzzle related or negotiation related; additionally, you get to deal with the locals;

(5) Great details of natural hazards in the Underdark;

(6) A variety of different monsters in the Underdark;

(7) fairly good linkage;

(8) big finale at the end; and

(9) PCs have the opportunity to actually have allies!

I think past reviewers are correct in that book two isn't as linked. This was done mainly to let the PCs go up in levels so that they would be ready for the later big fights.

Not a problem for me. I increased the size of the map and added more features and also changed the nefarious end as I felt it was too cliche'.

Overall, this is superlative boxed set. As it isn't terribly pervasive, it can fit in to almost any campaign. For a DM who has little put together, you could do a whole campaign this way but the PCs have to enjoy tromping down in the Undearkr. In my campaign, this started at about 50% of the possible adventures but as more and more happened, it's about 15-20% now. That's sort of b/c now that they're higher level they've gotten involved in big time politics. :)

...

This is one of the best of the colossal TSR boxed sets - this one will take your PCs from levels 1 to 10, with over 200 hours of play time! Beginning in the dark and savage borderland wilds of the world above, the neophyte heroes will soon find themselves embroiled in a sinister, world-endangering demonic intrigue - by the end of the campaign, they'll be battling the darkest forces of the world (and beyond!) in the depths of the Underdark - an ideal way to prepare them for another epic, for example GDQ1-7 Queen of the Spiders! An entire campaign in one box - this HUGE set includes three 64-page books (!), a set of 16 PC handouts, 8 double-sided reference cards, 8 pages of new monsters, and 6 enormous poster maps. A true epic, Night Below receives my highest recommendation.

Ever driven down Highway 84 and been amazed by the scenery of the Columbia River?
Ever curious about how the Columbia became the Columbia?
Ever seen a giant bolder in the Willamette Valley and wondered how it got there.
Can you imagine the sea level four hundred feet above Portland?
You think you know, but you have no idea.
Until you read this book! (Or hear about it from a friend.)

This book excellently explains why the eastern half of the State of Washington and the lower Columbia valley are so curiously carved. It also shows how a truly observant scientist works, even though his vindication may be slow in coming. While some persons might wish for more color photographs, I believe the black and white format, particularly in the Grand Coulee region, better shows the power and scope of the floods that carved these otherworldly channels from bare lava rock. The drawing of a typical Bretz flood has to be seen firsthand to be believed. Another exemplary book on the geology of the West. Don't see Grand Coulee or the Columbia Gorge without reading this book.

I've lived in the Walla Walla River Basin for a little over a year. After reading this book, the surrounding area became more alive. This book tells of fascinating events that took place several thousand years ago that created many of the local landmarks. It makes my travels more interesting and personal as I recognize features described in this book. If your a highly educated geologists searching for some real meat, this book is not for you. For the rest of us, this book is written in easy to understand terms. If you live in the Northwest, it's a must read.

I just got this book, and really, I love it. Allright it only has 100 cocktails in it, but if you are planning on making more than a hundred different cocktails you can always buy another book, probably it wont be as nice to look in but hey, you wanted recepies right. Still I think it is a very nice book to have, because it's just nice to look in and it has the nececary instructions on makeing all those wonderfull cocktails yourself. And it also gives a nice picture of what the cocktail could look like, gets your tastebuds more ready than just plain text.

A very cool book with some exceptional photographs of different drinks. There's not much explanation on preparing the different drinks other than the obvious ingredients, plus there's only 100 drinks listed. What makes this book special are the photographs. If you're a bartender or just an enthusiast that wants to serve impressive looking cocktails, this book gives you a lot of ideas. As any good chef will tell you, "it's all in the presentation."

It's too bad the book is softcover, plus it would've been nice if the photos were a little larger (they're about 7" x 5"). It's nice to keep around for guests to see, though. Makes you thirsty. There's a few sample photographs here on this site. Check em out to see what I mean.

Hope my review helped!

If you think of the book as a photographic essay on exquisite glassware then you will be pleased with it. If you seek a book of recipes you may want to look elsewhere. Makes a great gift.

Although lacking in adequate color plates as expressed by a previous reviewer, this text is wonderful in its description of the history of the mural which took Sargent 30 years and was never completed probably because of the controversy arising out of how religion was viewed in public in 1919, a change from when Sargent started it in 1890. The book describes the history of the mural in the context of its time of diverse social, cultural and religious matters. After viewing the actual mural at the Boston Public Library, where it is, unfortunately, covered with dirt but is being restored and cleaned, one will be overwhelmed with this painting and find the book extremely interesting and full of important historical information, as well as understand why this mural is considered one of the most important pieces of public art.

Promey leads the reader on an insightful exploration of Sargent's artistic and spiritual investment in _Triumph of Religion_. This book has changed the way I look at religious art in public places.

A fascinating book -- a major contribution to the history of American visual culture! This is a Sargent I hadn't seen before! The wealth of visual material in Promey's book (works of art, preparatory sketches and studies, photographs, prints, cartoons) provides testimony that Sargent's art was deeply informed by the culture of its time. It was also, as Promey shows, responsive to the artist's own intellectual and personal commitments. Highly recommended!
