Atlantis Station (Star Trek: The Next Generation: Starfleet, No 5)
Published in Paperback by Minstrel Books (August, 1994)
Average review score: 
Excelent read for a children's bookI picked the book for my nephew and ended up reading it myself. I thought it was an excelent book that lendsa bit of insight and history into the crews of the "Enterprise" and Calhoun's "Excelsior". I've been reading all of the Star Trek Starfleet Academy TNG Series.
Another great read for young TrekkiesThis book is another really good book. For people who don't know, this is a book about Geordi (from TNG) as a cadet in Starfleet Acadamy. Overall, this is a very good read, although I believe Capture The Flag (#4) is slightly better.
Blind in One Ear: The Avenger Returns
Published in Paperback by Mercury House (July, 1992)
Average review score:
From the bizarre to the mundane, Steed rides again.Many years ago I read the works of J.P.Dunleavy and believed all of his characters to be fiction (excepting the Ginger Man of course). Patrick MacNee brings to life, a childhood filled with characters so outrageously bizarre that I must now reread Dunleavy. And that is the best compliment that I can give. As the remainder of his life is rather plodding, it pales in comparison to his early years. A little more detail on The Avengers would have been nice too. The language can at times be a little pretentious but then, so could MacNee.
A Bold AdmissionPatrick Macnee has finally arrived at peace, in the autumn of his life. If he'd arrived sooner, perhaps we'd see a richer Patrick. Rich, in terms of fullness of having properly explored life as it was meant to be lived. As Patrick admits, much of his life was spent in a whirlwind of chasing loves that could not be, as he had no direction in life. A testament to us all to prepare and support our children well emotionally, to face the hurdles that inevitably will lie before them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom, Patrick. Your insight into life is much appreciated.
Cal Cameron by Day, Spider-Man by Night
Published in Hardcover by Delacorte Press (April, 1988)
Average review score:
Cal Cameron by Day, Spider-Man by NightCal Cameron by Day, Spider-Man by Night, is by the author, A.E. Cannon. It is about a by named Cal who is a high school starting quarterback. Cal is in 11th grade. One day, he meets a girl named Marti who he becomes really close with. They run together, talk a lot, and other things that friends do. One day, Marti starts getting hate notes put on her locker and Cal takes them off so Marti doesn't see them. She finds out about them one day and she gets really mad. But to figure out the rest you will have to read it. I would recommend this book to a reader. It was a book about football and drama. Cal played football, and cross country running happened throughout most of the book too. The drama part was where Cal and Marti got in fights and faced their situation in the real world.
A Great book this isCal is a somewhat smart and halfway nice kid who is a pretty popular kid who is the starting Quarterback for Scenic View High School. One night he is at a fast food resturaunt and a girl named Marti comes in and he thinks she looks like an interesting girl that he wants to know. He does not talk to her besides saying hi, but shes starting to go to his school. He gets to know her and he figures shes a pretty nice girl. Sean and Bear, Cals friends, dont like her too much. She is a really good student who doesnt like kids who dont do anything in class besides talk and misbehave. So Cal has two different lives, one being one of the most popular kids in school and the other his friend Marti who doesnt fit in too much. I like this book because this could all happen to an ordinary kid.
Cameron Hydraulic Data: A Handy Reference on the Subject of Hydraulics, and Steam
Published in Hardcover by Ingersoll Rand (June, 1995)
Average review score:
Cameron Hydraulic Data: Invaluable Designers HandbookI first became aware of Camerons Hydraulic Data book because all of the old-time lead design engineers had them on their desks. While these guys have a lot of books on their shelves, Camerons is in their hands. I borrowed one to verify calculations done in a spreadsheet and found it to be invaluable. I would recommend the book to anyone who does pipeline design. Headloss and fluid velocities based on flow rates through different pipe diameters are easily found. Thankfully, I found a copy here at Amazon for myself and don't have to borrow it any longer.
A good investmentI design submersible sewage ejector systems and this book was a must to design a system accurately. I sold these systems as well so I had to be confident that the system was designed correctly. By the way, did I mention that I am NOT an engineer? I am a plumber by trade. THIS BOOK IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS A BOCA CODE BOOK. If you do any type of hydronics or hydraulics, BUY IT!
The Canebrake Men: A Novel (The Tennessee Frontier Trilogy #3)
Published in Paperback by Cumberland House (July, 2001)
Average review score:
An Early American BildungsromanJudd has the curious ability to ingest history so that when it is retold in his historical novels, it is expressed with an urgency and a raconteur's sense of the present, which lends his characters credence, both the fictional creations as well as the actual historical figures.
This is a tale of a strong frontier lad named Owen Killefer who attempts to track down his sister after she is kidnapped by a crude, homocidal mountain man named Turndale, who wiped out the rest of Killefer's family after they had invited him to share their table.
Killefer escapes using his own wits and natural suspicion -- attributes that serve him well throughout the novel, which takes him deep into dangerous Chickamauga territory, roughneck towns, and lone woods, where with the help of Jubal, an escaped slave, he is able to come closer to rescuing his sister Emaline.
Occasionally Judd lapses into too-straightforward a relaying of history, but in those moments pure storytelling, you would be hard-pressed to find a writer of historical novels better able to capture the dialects, the smells of rabbit cooking over an open fire, or the scent of breath sweetened with cedar twigs (as well as the angst of fearing for your scalp in the rugged forntier) the way Judd does here.
Canebrake MenI was in a camp hunting with a few friends when I noticed the book, not much of a reader I picked it up just for something to do in the quiet of the night. I couldn't put the book down in just two days I read half the book. My wife and daughter were shocked to find that I had read that much of it in that short time, but I had to leave the book behind seeing that the owner had not read it yet. Now I find it is not being published I can not find a copy of it. I have read since then two other books from the Underhill Series and recieved four more for christmas and can't wait to get started on them. I am still looking for the Canebrake Men and it looks like I'll have to wait till the next hunting trip to find out what happens. Very good book very much recommend it to anyone who does not enjoy reading.
City of Fear (Omega Sub, No 3)
Published in Paperback by Avon (July, 1991)
Average review score:
A real page turnerI recieved this book as a gift from a relative. I didn't know what to think , so I read a few pages to see if it was interesting. Boy was it ever!
When you think of a post-apocyliptic setting you think, "I've seen it before." But, this book takes that setting and totaly refreshes it.
After a few pages you find yourself wondering what's around the next corner and holding your breath as you flip the page. Will it be the irradiated freak white shirts who are spreading like an infection across the radioactive remains of the earth, or will it be an entire island mysteriously desserted by all it's inhabitents?
After all my praise for this book I have only one bad thing to say. If you get this book you find yourself looking for the rest of the series!
Action, Adventure and Technology!The ongoing tales of the Omeg Sub. Really cool futuristic technology that is not too hard to believe. Once you pick it up, it's hard to put down. The white shirts are causing trouble but the crew is handling it with extreme predjudice! If you like action and adventure, you'll love it!
Collection and Container Classes in C++
Published in Paperback by John Wiley & Sons (January, 1900)
Average review score:
Quite good but a bit too much review materialQuite a bit of the book is spent reviewing object oriented principles and data structures. Also, the title doesn't say it, but the book concentrates almost exclusively on the standard template library.
Clear and Well-Paced -- A Masterpiece.I'm not sure how to put this, but, this book has some of the best, most clearly written, and logically organized introductions to various aspects of the class concept in C++ programming. I had been struggling with the concept of the class constructor for about a month, rereading material in several different texts, but not really understanding it. This book iterates and reinterates the subject material so that there is no confusion. For example, on the constructor, the book explained the distinction between objects and classes, the concept of instantiation, provided examples of such and of member types, and the purpose of the class concept, and then, at the right time, explained it so: "The purpose of the constructor is to initialize an object of its class."
T H A N K Y O U !!!!
In ten minutes, I understood everything I had been struggling with for the previous 30 days. The book does the same thing with polymorphism, overloading, templates, and so forth. So -- I'm not sure if people who are specifically interested in Collections and Container Classes will get what they want from this book -- I'm not at that level to judge yet -- but this book is great for the beginner as a supplementary support text. Beautiful diagrammatics also.
Colorado Ice Climber's Guide
Published in Paperback by Falcon Publishing Company (November, 1997)
Average review score:
Nice Job!I have all the ice guides to colorado, and this one is about the only one I trust. Ratings are, in my experience, slightly conservative, which is better than being the other way, particularly for ice climbs where getting in over your head can be very serious. Route information is, for all the routes in the book I've done, very accurate.
ExcellentA great overview of the ice climbing available in Colorado. The best book on the market.
Director 8.5 Studio: with 3D, Xtras, Flash and Sound
Published in Paperback by friends of Ed (August, 2001)
Average review score:
Good ratio between theory and practise !I've used Director for 5 years and i found this book full of good examples. I found the Object Oriented Programming chapter so exciting...Probably one of the best book on Director i've read (i'm waiting for Gary's new Book - Using Macromedia Director 8.5).
Buy it, non ve ne pentirete !
ciao
Buy it, non ve ne pentirete !
ciao
The juice.This is awesome! I've used Director for 2 years and was really excited about the new 3D features in 8.5 but thought I'd have to spend months learning how to use the engine. In 1 week of reading this I made my first user activated 3D projector that plays sound relational to my world.
I know why this book is so good: I looked at these guys sites in the front of the book for these authors - these guys really know how to create. Examples are inspirations!
This is the juice. I want more. Give me more.

Early Modern Europe: An Oxford History
Published in Hardcover by Oxford University Press (April, 1999)
Average review score:
"Sailling in serene awareness towards its doom"A very interesting analysis of a world that wanted to go forth but did was afraid to break ultimately with its past.Behind the cabinet of Monarchist-Europe a world of new ideas,classes and ways of worshipping God were emerging stealthy and in the end will make any return to the past impossible.My favorite chapters were those of Alison Rowlands and Robin Briggs.I stayed a bit puzzled with Euan Cameron's aphoristic remark in page 87-we must not forget the class struggles in Augsburg,the revolt of the Netherlands or the role played by Brittish middle class in the establishment of a moderate religious tolerance for the first time-and T.C.Blanning's "natural end of Early Modern Europe".Germany was a problem for Europe in the seventeenth century also;is not better to stay attached to the feature of "authority" in this period?This attitude was gone for good after the Napoleonic expansion,despite his latter defeat.Why not be 1796(Italian expedition)a good suggestion?
Very useful and compellingHave used the book as back-up to a high school Modern History course this semester. It is extremely well-written in many of the chapters and summarizes and encapulsates key points and moments during this period. It also updates the current state of scholarship in the field in places and overall is an interesting read. Worth the money if this is a time period of interest to you.
