Another exciting read from my favorite author. It includes mystery, intrigue, love, lust and revenge, all with a lot of local color and lore. I was caught totally off guard by the interesting twist at the end and fell hopelessly in love with the main character. A book anyone would enjoy, I couldn't put it down. Thank you, again Mr. Moore.

If you've just started to collect Spawn comics, this book is a great key on the Spawn saga. And if you're already an Spawn reader, you can't miss this Volume 8 for your personal collection. A must have for REAL Spawn fans!

This book explains the geology and biology of caves, and how they have been used by human beings. The authors explain the details very well, drawing upon lots of interesting examples of caves from around the world and providing useful illustrations, charts, and photographs throughout the book.

In the section on limestone formations, they explain why most limestone caves have been formed by slowly moving water in a thin horizontal zone directly below the water table. They examine scallop formations, carbon dioxide content, calcite solubility and other factors. (Sandstone caves, sea caves and lava tubes are covered just briefly.)

There is some good coverage about water movement through caves, the growth of speleotherms, and how to date caves and cave deposits. There is a table provided that lists the secondary minerals found in limestone caves and the caves they can be found in. You will also learn about cave temperatures, relative humidity, and how different karst formations are related to the nature and distribution of the soil in different climatic zones.

There is also a section about the many cave dwelling micro-organisms, troglobites, and vertebrates. It explains their evolution, adaptation to the cave environment, and how they fit into the food chain.

I just saw this book last night. I was so moved by the pictures and the history in this book. My uncle is in one of the pictures and both of my grandparents worked in the mill.My mother and my uncles went to the school and were talking about all the memories they share. The grew up in pitiful times and most people wouldn't believe the history unless they lived through it themselves. We would like to know if there would be additional material written on the North Charlotte. My mother and my uncles can name some of the people in the pictures.They also have photos and more information they could share regarding this time period.

Spoonhandle is a compelling story of an island community in Maine and how they deal with changing times. This is about people and family and living...in short, I couldn't put it down. I followed by reading 5 more Ruth Moore books all enjoyable as ever. A clear 10.

This is a must have if you want to run a campaign in the DS9 portion of the terrific game by Unicorn. It contains a gamemaster screen with tables for weapons, movement, maneuvers and more. It also contains a book which helps to develop a good story line with excellant background info on Bajorians, Cardies, and Ferengi. If you don't have it...get it. I love mine.

This is an excellent book for the RPG world of Star Trek which has just so recently come out. A must have for all "Trekkies" and RPG buffs. A great sourcebook to add to your others. Excellent for MUSHes and the like. It deserves five stars.

This book is one of two core books, the other being the Narrarator's Guide. This book is full-color, with pictures from the original Star Trek all the way through Voyager and Enterprise. It has just about every gadget you've ever seen, and some you haven't, available to characters. Classes include Trader, Rogue, Starship Officer, Warrior, etc. If you're a Star Trek fan and enjoy roleplaying, do yourself a favor and get this book!

I enjoyed this book very much. I liked the fact that the author goes through each month of the year and does an excellent job of describing the constellations, and provides maps to help find the stars he mentions. He even covers both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. While I obviously live in the Northern Hemisphere, and so the Northern Hemisphere's sky maps are the most helpful in my own stargazing, I thought it was fun to read about how the sky in other parts of the world compares with my own backyard sky. He also gives helpful advice for finding each of the planets visible with the naked eye. He also describes comets, meteors, and other astronomical phenomona visible with the naked eye. I highly recommend this book for those who want to enjoy astronomy without necessarily spending a lot of money on equipment.
