Goes into great detail about guns and equipment but doesn't give any history or real story behind these things like 3025 did or most of the other equpment books do. Reads more like a D&D weapon book than a good and informitive Battletech source. This is another example of late era FASA junk. It would have been great if they had written it in the mid '80s.

A good adition to any serious Gamers reference library. A must for game organizers.

This book assumes you already know a lot.

At the time I bought this book, it was the only one available in my local bookstore. I had a project that required me to write a VxD in less than a month, and having never written a VxD, I hoped that this book would gain me quick and dirty insight into the basics of writting one. I found it extremely difficult to follow with not enough explanations of the basics. It seemed to be written for the x86 expert who had already written numerous other types of drivers. I was forced to reread it numerous times while researching other sources of information so that I could understand. There is too much appendix, and not enough examples. It is also chalked full of little annoying typos. The project presented by the author should have been more verbose in the explanantions - I sure would have appreciated it at the time.

This book covers an outdated version of the national EMT-Intermediate curriculum. If you are looking for a book to prepare for the exam get something a little more recent.

I found this book to be a great follow up to my BLS training. This book doesn't contain the in-depth information that a paramedic textbook would but it has many good introductions to important areas. Fluid replacement and pathophysiology, advanced airway management, basic pharmacology, pulse oximetry, defibrillation and communications are the best chapters from this book.

This book gives a great introduction to some very important topics. This book also gives a BLS provider another option for continuous education. BLS providers often get stuck between BLS and ALS books, that gap is very big and difficult to bridge. Intermediate Emergency Care provides a happy medium for BLS providers interested in learning more advanced procedures, as well as the obvious EMT-I certifications and courses.

This book would be a good read for BLS providers who have a good handle on basic medical care and are looking to learn more. The information presented in this book is easy to learn because of its layout.

Although the information contained in this text was easy to read and comprehensive, there were some errors. These errors consisted mostly of conflicting information with the workbook, and some grammatical errors which sometimes made reading difficult.

Belinda: Cruel Passage West is more or less a poorly strung together series of sex scenes, with very little story, structure or intrigue. Belinda is perhaps the most unlucky girl on Earth (depending on how you want to look at it) and on her journey from Virginia to California during the mid 1800's, she is terribly abused and taken advantage of by everyone she meets, including a strange religious sect bent on whipping and incestuous sex scenes, cowboys, Indians (not just any Indians, but a Devil worshipping tribe of Indians), a military Colonel, a rancher's wife, saloon girls, a town sheriff, a psychologist, a trio of triple Goddess type women (maiden, mother and crone) judges and a cross dressing nun. If you just want sex, lots of sex, nothing else, this might be entertaining...

While it has some funny moments, this is not up to the level of "The Sick of Being Sick Book" or "How to Succeed in Sports Without Ever Playing." It seems a bit rushed- the book came out at the height of the video game craze. Still, there are a few laughs.

The Cure's mysterious rise remains more puzzling than ever after this snip'n'paste rummage through the usual gamut of press clippings. With stunning banality, inter-band frictions are reduced to soap-opera absurdity, and Robert Smith's notoriously quixotic working methods are judged almost entirely on whatever PR line the press were fed at the time. There's a terrific Fear And Loathing-style saga to be written about this boozy, chaotic combo, but Faith is just an overwhelmingly partisan fan-study.

The book wasn't what I thought it was. I was hoping that it would concentrate more on the basic director stuff instead of so much Shockwave/Internet stuff.

I've developed a minor pet peeve in the six years since I started importing video games from Japan on a regular basis: The Japanese releases come in superior packaging. I often consider the cover art to be more tasteful, but that's merely my opinion. But it's a cold hard fact that in Japan almost all games come with beautifully printed FULL COLOR instruction manuals. Very high quality, very eye pleasing, filled with dazzling screen shots and artwork. Meanwhile in the US, most games come with dull black and white manuals. Nintendo is very good about splurging to give us color, but often the other companies penny-pinch with all but the most high-profile of titles. There is the occasionaly exception. Again, it's just a pet peeve. I don't sit and brood about this.

I buy strategy guides for games that I really enjoy. When I really enjoy a game I become obsessed with it and I buy the soundtrack, the guide, the t-shirt, the Happy Meal® etc. The reason I buy the guide is generally because I want to look at the pretty pictures. The pretty FULL COLOR pictures. Well, I finished GunValkyrie, and I really really really enjoyed it, so I bought the guide so I could look at pretty full color pictures. To my shock and dismay, I've found that the guide is printed in black and white. I've never heard of such a thing.

To add insult to injury, the guide itself is bare-bones. Nothing but a simple walkthrough, no tips on achieving S Rank in Challenge Mode. It's little more than a glorified instruction manual.

Shame on Prima for being such cheap, penny-pinching misers.

Why would you need a guide for Luigi's Mansion. It's not that hard of a game. Trust me. It is a great game. but u don't need to waste 15$ on a guide? if you really need it u can get it for free on the internet. Go to videogames.com. The only reason I give it 2 stars instead of a big ZERO is because of the MAPS AND THE PICS you can hang in your room if you are a Luigi Freak!!!

Dr. Quattlebaum has provided the dental practitioner and student with an excellent synopsis of the history and developement of managed care programs. But his strong, pro-managed care position would have more credibility coming from a private practioner citing peer review sources rather than a consultant to the State of California whose major reference is the National Association of Dental Plans (a dental HMO trade association). In fact, the Association of Managed Care Dentists in their current, 2000 survey states "The revenues received from managed care plans are no longer covering even marginal overhead, thereby creating a disincentive for practice expansion. Most likely this is why the vast majority of dentists reported that they are no longer signing up for new plans, and 63% have closed enrollment to some plans presently in their offices." Perhaps Dr. Quattlebaum should actually practice what he preaches for a year and attempt to run a real office at reduced fees before writing a book.
