This book is the best overall history of the state that I have ever read. It is written for the casual reader and colors the many exciting events with vivid descriptors that leave the reader enchanted. Rarely is so much captured in so few pages. This was truely an entertaining read.

Jane Wilson is a mycologist (study of fungus) who is trying to solve world hunger by developing an oversized, protein rich mushroom. Unfortunately for the rest of London, they find out what messing with nature can do.

There are over 100,000 varieties of fungus know to man, and thanks to Jane, they are all spreading out of control. Brilliant colors of soft molds are covering almost everything. Nothing is safe, buildings, paper, electronics, animals, and humans.

Jane's husband is "volunteered" by the British military to find is wife's notes, so they can find a cure. Barry Wilson, is a former mycologist himself, and currently writes detective novels. He is coupled with Terenced Slocock, a crazed military Sergeant, and Kimberly Fairchild, a tropical mycologist. These three people are the last chance Britain has, before the world makes good on their threat of a "nuclear" fix to the problem.

This book is a very entertaining read. I find it quite unfortunate that it is out of print. If you can find a used copy someplace, it is worth the few bucks to add it to your collection. It was also previously release as a paperback call "Death Spore".

This is a MUST HAVE reference for any serious student of the FW-190. The format is less flashy, but similar to the Squadron/Signal, "Aircraft in Action" Series. The title isn't catchy and most of the photos are black & white; but what this volume lacks in glitz, it makes up for in technical merit. With the Author's proximity to the former Marienburg FW-190 production facilities, he has compiled a very nice collection of detailed photos that I've never seen anywhere else. The accompanying narrative is thorough and includes appropriate German technical phrases/abbreviations with accurate translations. Also included are numerous line drawings of essentially all of the radial engine (BMW-801) powered FW-190 variants. This work covers the history for the FW-190 from initial design concepts, pre-production prototypes, A-Series fighters, F-Series close air support, torpedo and precision guided weapon fighter-bombers, G-Series night/long-range, fighter-bombers, thru the (School) S-Series two seat trainers. There are several pages of color plates illustrating various camouflage and tactical unit marking schemes. FW-190 A/F/G/S Part II, the in-line engine (Junkers JUMO) powered FW-190 D/ TA152 and two volumes on WWII Luftwaffe camouflage and markings are listed as forthcomining titles. These also promise to be excellent references for modelers and students of military aviation history.

This is a very well written, photographed and illustrated book that reveals many little known truths about the origins of Kentucky and the migration west through Cumberland Gap. It is a must read for all students of early Kentucky history. Virtually every other page contains either a map, illustration or beautiful photograph. The photography by world-renowned photographer, Adam Jones, is simply stunning! In truth, it is the photography of Adam Jones that first attracted me to this outstanding book. As a student of early Kentucky history, I consider this book in particular to be indispensable to understanding the truth surrounding the opening of Kentucky and all points west. This is a truly great historical work, replete with bibliograhical references, indicative of the author's extensive research. Therefore, I highly recommend it!

Grunge and Roxy were the only two remotely interesting characters in the Gen13 series so it's only fitting that Adam Warren devoted an entire miniseries to a conversation they have that quickly devolves into a hysterical parody of manga, anime, kung-fu flicks, and comics in general.

After seeing a laughably bad ninja movie with his kinda-sorta girlfriend, Grunge decides that even a muscle-headed surf-rat such as himself could make better cinema. What follows is his epic idea for the greatest movie ever; starring none-other than his brilliant self of course...and under duress, Roxy as his saucy sidekick.

From a period piece...in bikinis, to an action film...in lingerie, to a Yakuza Mafia flick...in tube tops, Grunge's dirty little mind ricochets from one ripe parody to another, much to Roxy's chagrin. Her vision involves Sailor Moon style romance, not having shower scenes with steam wafting past convenient places. Her tart remarks will have you smiling when you should be cringing at the political incorrectness of it all.

What makes it so great is that Warren draws in line-perfect manga style, making the comedy that much funnier. Roxy has never looked better, with her pink-streaked punker hair and her bulky leather jacket, she looks ten times better than any actual manga girl.

This is definitely a teens and up read, despite the cartoony goodness of the art. There is near-nudity, violence, and innuendo aplenty; perfect for a good chuckle but not for little kids.

This new tome from notorious occultist Crowley was originally two books with Evangeline Adams as its author. According to the introduction by H. Beta, Crowley was in New York for sometime and met with Adams whom they were to write a book on astrology together. Due to unfortunate circumstances, Adams took the material that Crowley wrote, reworked, omitted and added her own material and eventually became an authority on the subject. The two books by Adams, "Your Place in the Sun" and "Your Place Among the Stars" (written 1927 and 1930 respectively) are essentially the works of Aleister Crowley. This edition by Samuel Weiser brings back Crowley's original writings in their original form and in one book. In a similar format as Magick Book 4, 'The General Principles of Astrology' is bound in a nice maroon hardcover cloth book with a sigil embossed on the cloth cover in metallic gold (looks like a modified Mercury symbol). Crowley's writing at many times is elusive even for the most astute occultist, however, as in Magick 4, he is making great efforts to be clear to a larger audience. The text was written in 1915 before the discovery of Pluto, so for some astrologers that may be your only set back.

In my opinion and from what I know of Crowley, the work is largely unfinished, however, what is presented is entirely a workable system. Crowley probably had the least amount of faith in astrology as a science among all the occult arts, but because he was so verse in many subjects, he is not one to let it be unexplored. Astrology seems as vast a subject as Kabbalah, as so much is written about it, that it seems that no one person can legitimately claim authority. My preference is Alan Leo's work even though much of his work is before Pluto as well. Crowley stands as a modern authority on much occult work that this was a book I could trust in giving a clear exposition on the subject.

The book is broken up similarly to the many astrology books out there on the market today. Beginning general aspects of the houses, different signs to be aware of and their meanings and a correspondence with his tarot deck. Then a discourse on the meanings of the planets, rising signs, sun signs with each of their attributes and characteristics. After a large section taken up by each planey in a sign, he ends with 100 or so famous people and their horoscopes. So in my opinion, Crowley could have easily enlarged this already big work (596 pages!). In sum, the book is well presented and will look sharp on any bookshelf, and for any serious astrologer to consider this excellent entry into the large world of the study of the astros.

Men, you know what I speak of...
You're a WWII buff and factoid fanatic. ... This book has it all. Great vignettes about the vaunted weaponry of the Third Reich. Page by page you'll be captivated by the eye-catching layouts. I really enjoyed the way the authors intertwined true story vignettes with the technical details of the weapons ranging from small arms, tanks, aircraft, ships, subs, and more! An absolute must have for the WWII buff (and perfect addition to your "office").

Andrea Del Jorio penned this work in the nineteenth century, and now Adam Kenton has gracefully brought it into twentieth-century English. Amusing, informative: a sheer delight to read, and you'll laugh heartily with recognition.

Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?

No, but I do bite my thumb!

Now, you'll know why.

Looking for a gift for someone who has everything? Well this is the one. Fun little cartoons which sometimes are even like a riddle for you to figure out but once you do you'll be laughing eggnog out your nose. Phantom of the cookie jar, Migraine gingerbread and Ginger European woman (gingerbread woman with hairy legs) are some of my favorite. Also look for others in the series Like "Frosty Mugs"- Happy Hollidoodles
