Star Trek Starfleet Command III: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets
Published in Paperback by Sybex (01 November, 2002)
Author: David Ellis
Average review score:

Not much better than the manual
I was very dissapointed with this guide. I expected more hard numbers to play around with to help optimize ship design. There are some handy tables, but they totally neglected power usage numbers for weapons. You can get those numbers from the game by painstakingly replace each type of weapon and seeing how it affects warp power requirements. Why couldn't the guide give me these numbers? How about the formula (even a rough one) that relates max speed to impulse and total mass? How about more of an explantion for different cloak types vesus anti-cloak
computers?

I know they dumbed down SFC3 to reach a wider audience, but did they have to dumb down the strategy guide too?

The manual does do a good job previewing the campaign missions though.


Valentine's Day: Women Against Men: Stories of Revenge
Published in Paperback by Duckworth (11 January, 2001)
Author: Alice Thomas Ellis
Average review score:

a collection of mind-bogglingly stupid stories
when i picked this book up at the library and saw artemisia gentileschi's painting, "judith slaying holofernes", on the cover and the title "women against men: revenge stories" i was thinking, "oh boy, this looks like it'll probably have some stories about women getting some sadistic revenge on rapists, or girlfriend/wife beaters, or child molesters or some scumbags like that." i was curious to see what ahem, imaginative forms of revenge some women came up with. i wanted to read these stories and smile or chuckle, and say "yeah! right on!" instead, i found that almost all the stories were incredibly stupid. most of them were either about women getting revenge on cheating husbands, or you couldn't even figure out what form the revenge took (some stories, the revenge just simply seemed nonexistent), or even figure out who was the recipient of the revenge. one of the stories, a mom gets revenge on her slutty daughters by sleeping w/one of the men they were all battling to get into bed! uh, i thought this book was women against men?!?. many of the women characters were spoiled rich wives, or just people you couldn't even really sympathize with because of their pettiness, pathetic-ness, or just plain out crappy personalities. about 20% of the stories the women got revenge through feeding the man something yucky or lethal. not a single rape revenge story. only one story was about revenge on a cruel, physically abusive husband, and in the other stories where the husbands may have been physically abusive, that fact was mentioned nonchalantly, like it takes a backseat to his cheating or calling his wife "fatty" (sticks and stones, people, sticks and stones... if he treats you like crap, leave him!). now, of course cheating is not a good thing, but it's not like women don't cheat either, and there are worse things a person could do to you. human relationships are too complex for cheating to be a crime punishable by death. anyway, i don't think this book is something that feminists can be proud of. the only reason i give this book two stars instead of one is to acknowledge a couple of the decent stories... probably agatha christie's is one of the best of the lot. all i can say is, if you're curious, check it out from your local library, or buy it used at a really cheap price... maybe someone else would find something worthwhile in many of the stories, but for me i found most to be very stupid, either badly/cheesily written, or crappy story-wise.


Vulcan: Last of the V-bombers (Osprey Classic Aircraft)
Published in Unknown Binding by Osprey (15 August, 1996)
Authors: Duncan Cubitt and Ken Ellis
Average review score:

Not worth hunting for
Conceived to deliver the British Nuclear Deterrent from the post war years until the arrival of the Polaris submarine system, the Vulcan delta winged aircraft are among the most remarkable of all post war aircraft. They were much loved on the air display circuit and, when they were finally retired from military and display service, they were much missed.

This book charts the remaining Vulcan aircraft. It lists all of the surviving aircraft and goes into substantial detail of each one from the construction details, through the aircraft's deployments and ultimate fate. The problem is that this means that the text in the book is mostly a list of dates, squadron numbers and airfield details. Now this information is of interest to a small number of people but I'm not sure about who would be interested in such information only for the small number of aircraft that survive. Most diehard enthusiasts want to know this information for all of the aircraft produced. Casual readers will find the text dull.

Like most books of this nature, the photos are at least as important as the text. The publisher does its usual good job in the production. The pictures are well rendered and printed on quality paper. They are not perfect. Some photos have been carelessly cropped late in the production process so that parts of the picture referred to in the captions are not reproduced. That is sloppy.

The book's remit, dealing only with the surviving airframes means that the material is limited. It is hard to make interesting photos of a series of scrap airframes on static display and the book suffers for that.


A Good Swing Is Hard to Find: How Women Can Play the Power Game
Published in Hardcover by Doubleday (June, 1998)
Authors: Helen Alfredsson and Amy Ellis Nutt
Average review score:

Done in bad taste
This book is just plain demeaning. I thought I missed the humor but I see from the reviews that others feel the same. To the publisher, do women's golf a favor and do not reprint this book or if it is reprinted please completely revamp it and do a tasteful second edition. This book is a slap in the face to any woman who takes the game of golf seriously.

A Good Book is Hard to Find...
That Helen Alfredsson, one of the most beloved characters of our homeland, Sweden, should have her name associated with this book, leaves me in disbelief! It was obviously written by an American, it is demeaning to women, it is an insult to all the progress we have made. This book has no literary merit and an important aspect of any golf book is clearly missing; golf instruction! Furthermore, whence the instructional philosophy of the inner game of golf, and wither the social implications of PMS? Hence, this book constitutes an affront to all golf-lovers, a profound disapointment from one of the game's greatest players.

not sure what to make
Who wrote this book? The instruction is ok at points but the book is basically demeaning? Chapters like the the Rythmn Method is the best? I guess that's funny, but believe it or not i am actually looking for good golf instruction. i felt rather insulted after reading this book, just read the sample chapters.

Nutrition
An alternate to what? These diets don't work............

Miracle cures?
I read and tried a couple of the diets to reduce ailments I experience. No help to me but maybe it'll be different for you. The only "Miracle" from the Diets I experienced was how the weight was Miraculously lost in my wallet.

Calculus: One and Several Variables
Published in Hardcover by International Thomson Publishing (March, 1991)
Authors: Robert Ellis and Denny Gulick
Average review score:

A truly awful text
I am a math major at Michigan Tech where this book is used, and it has a deserved reputation for being AWFUL. Even some of the instructors don't like it. It is painfully slow-going and badly written. Avoid it at all cost. (Tech is replacing it next year).

yuk
This book may be useful if you can read it. It is terrible print quality, the photographs look like bad xeroxes with figure captions that are barely legible. Unless the publisher improves the quality, you are better of getting the older edition from the library.


Flowers for Your Wedding: A Practical and Inspirational Guide to Creating Beautiful Flower Designs
Published in Hardcover by Southwater Pub (August, 2001)
Authors: Kally Ellis, Ercole Moroni, and James Duncan
Average review score:

SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!
This is the second book I have bought written by these authors (Kally Ellis & Ercole Moroni). The first book I bought was full of outdated, useless pictures. I thought the cover picture on this book looked attractive and decided to give these authors another shot. You can't imagine my surprise when I found out that this was the same exact book as the first one, page for page, with the only difference being the title and cover. Same outdated, outlandish, and unuseable pictures of bouquets and headpieces. I have worked on many weddings, and haven't ever had a bride use any of the ideas in this book. I don't even show it anymore. The ideas presented are laughable to most people. I can't imagine a greater waste of money then buying this book has been.
