A concise guide to Intranetware. An especially good explanation of the interface between NDS and the file system; I finally understand what's going on. Easily as much information as the "Novell's Guide to..." series without all the fluff. It lacks the drills and tests of other books, but if you want to get a feel for why things work the way they do this is the place to look. I've read the manuals, course materials, and dynatext. This book doesn't offer a new look at Intranetware; it just explains it better.

Bill Craig's Valley of Death is action adventure at it's best! Good plotting and interesting characters send the story along at the break-neck pace of a rollercoaster ride! Once you start reading you won't put it down! Jack Riley is one of the best new fictional heros to come into the new millenium!

As this was the novel that got me hooked on Amanda Craig, I must tell other amazon.com readers that it isn't out of print - it just lacks a US publisher. You can buy it through amazon.co.uk.
A Vicious Circle is a wonderful, rich, wise novel that is a satire on the literary world (of London)and also the kind of big book that US writers are used to. Like Bonfire of the Vanities, it links the world of the rich with that of the poor and dispossessed. Mary is a poor young Irish waitress at the Slough Club, a venue for media and publishing types. For years, she has been keeping her boyfriend Mark, an ambitious political journalist, through her earnings, and hopes he will marry her. When the story begins, she is in a taxi with another journalist, Ivo Sponge, who has always fancied her, going to a book party for a rich half-Lebanese newspaper heiress, Amelia de Monde.(If you remember Robert Maxwell,you may guess why the novel created such a scandal in Britain it was nearly not published.) What Mary doesn't know is that Mark, a thorough slimeball and creep, has been two-timing her with Amelia, and Amelia is about to get him to marry her because she is pregnant. The heartbroken Mary attempts to kill herself, but is found in time by her friend, the gay novelist Adam. While she is in hospital, she meets Tom Viner, a doctor, and Ivo Sponge tells her that she can have her revenge on her ex if she, too, becomes a journalist - and book reviewer. The price for this is that Mary has to become a monster and betray her principles and her friend Adam.
If that were the whole plot, you might think it was just about the literary world, but alongside this revenge story is the life and struggles of Grace, a single mother living in a slum with her son Billy. She seems to be cut off from the world of these people, but not only does she eventually come to clean for Amelia but she is in fact related to them.
What is so great about the book is partly the story, which is as rich and complex as a novel by Charles Dickens, but also the jokes, the style and the way all the characters are so alive. I felt I knew them all, and my belief never wavered. Craig carries on some characters from book to book, so that Georgina Hunter and her husband appear as central to In a Dark Wood, and Ivo Sponge is reappearing in Love in Idleness. She is an amazing writer, and a refreshing contrast to all the historical novels coming out of the UK. I think she's far better than Zadie Smith, just hasn't had the hype. Try this! You won't be disappointed.

This book is a wonderfull display of british artwork, it is also extremely informative and a trully usefull and pleasurable book to have. I can not recomend it highly enough.

Fantastic book about military exploits overseas. I highly recommend this book.

THis book delves into the old and new nature concept introduced by the apostle Paul. If you struggle with doing what you want instead of what you don't want, you are not alone. This book will guide you in the right direction to finding answers to the questions you will have on being a spiritual creation in a fallen world

This book influenced my life growing up. It's about a boy who lives in the country and the adventures he has. If you enjoyed Tom Sawyer, you'll enjoy this book. There are some very sad parts, some action, but in the end everything works out for the most part. It's published by Zondervan, so it's high quality and doesn't have any bad parts. I'd recommend it to anyone who has a comfortable chair and a weekend coming up.

This book belongs on every teenagers bookshelf. I loved it then and I'll read it again and again now! (I'm 27!) For the parent, this book is clean but exciting, in the best tradition of books.

This book is an amazing shelving system for confessions from the Word of God. It uses verses from (I think!) every book in the Bible, and follows rhythms that make confessing the Word daily an easy thing to do. The thing about this book is that you don't read it. That's not what it's for. It's for SAYING out loud. That is when the Washing of the Word will make a difference in your life. If you want to get what God wants in your life, this book is the awesome tool that you need to get you started on your way there!

In this book, Poco, "the curious scientist," gets asked a difficult question: "What good is a cactus?" He goes into the desert to search for the answer and some beautiful insights emerge. Lovely illustrations enhance the beauty of this thoughtful little book.

This is a wonderful book for helping children gain an awareness of ecological connections. I am an environmental educator in southern California who teaches in an outdoor science school (5th-6th grades), and I find this book to be a wonderful springboard for writing. When we are studying ecosystems or plants (the book works well with either), I take the students to a special place and read it aloud to them. After reading, I ask them to think about the different plants we have studied and challenge them to write a story, essay or poem (or even conduct an "interview" with the other members of the natural community) answering the question, "What good is a ________?" Replacing "Cactus" with another plant (or anything else in nature, for that matter). Some wonderful stories showing understanding of the connections in nature have resulted from using this book as a writing prompt.

I place this book in the category with other great environmental children's literature such as "The Great Kapok Tree" and "The Lorax." Recommended for teachers, parents and environmental educators who wish to help children understand the importance, connectedness, and beauty of all life forms.
