Before the T2 Ultimate Edition DVD came out, this book was probably one of the most exhaustive sources of information regarding the movie, along with 'The Making of T2' paperback. It's basically the final draft of the screenplay along with production notes and anecdotes about each scene. There are also hundreds of mostly black-and-white stills that correspond to each scene as the script goes on. Also included are the many moments that were cut from the theatrical release, most of which, thankfully, has been restored in the Special Edition. This includes Sarah's dream with Kyle Reese, The Dysons at home, the garage head surgery, T-1000's "glitching", and several other notable omissions. And as you read the screenplay, you'll see that quite a few of the lines spoken in the film differ from what is written. Some of the final ad-libs and slight changes of premise are discussed in the scene notes, and the various reasons (if any) for the slight alterations.

The book also devotes a chapter to parts of previous drafts that included many scenes that were never filmed, mostly due to production costs, as well as notes and commentary about them. The most notable almost-scene is the time machine room, where the resistance sends Reese to 1984, and the second Terminator to 1994. Another abandoned moment is the T-1000 wreaking havoc at the Salceda camp (the trailer-park/junkyard-looking place in the desert) following the departure of the three heroes. This scene would've shown more T-1000 morphs and 'gags'. Like the photos that correspond with the final script, the storyboards of these lost moments are shown along with the script to give you an idea of what each scene would've looked like.

I found the most interesting part to be the introduction by co-writer/co-producer/director James Cameron. He talks about the grind of completing T2 in just a year, and probably his most profound revelation about himself: that writing the script is his least-favorite part of movie production. I found this little revelation to be rather ironic, because I always felt that his scriptwriting ability is his strongest suit. Well, maybe not with 'Titanic', but that's me.

Sadly, just about all of the stuff discussed in this trade paperback, and then some, has been incorporated into the Special Features disc of the Ultimate Edition DVD. If you've already entered the digital age of movie technology, this book is pretty much just a relic of the pre-DVD era.

'Late!

I really enjoyed Terminator 2. It had some great scenes that the movie left out - like scenes with Kyle in the future and in Sarah's dream. Also had more characterization because you could read what the characters were thinking. Would have liked to have had the scene where the "learning chip" is turned on put in the movie. Mr. Frakes described a poignant moment when Miles Dyson dies. Highly recommend this book to all T1, T2, and sci-fi fans. Enjoy!

James Camerons follow up to the Terminator has recieved both critical acclaim and criticism. I for one, loved the first Terminator movie. Terminator 2 was a worthy followup to the series. The action, the drama, the message, it was all there. Sure, some of his was hammered home, but its such a fun ride, you don't care. The screenplay itself is remarkable. It contains commentary and scenes that didn't make the final cut. For all you how need a testement to Camerons genius, this is it.

This was a very well told story. I like stories that talk about what really makes one happy in life. Here's why I'm actually sitting down to write this though. I didn't even read the book. Someone told me the story. How many people take the time to tell you a story (the whole thing) they read? It hasn't happened to me that often.

If the book is half as good as my friend told it, I wouldn't hesitate in buying this book if I was someone considering it. I already know how it ends though, and just as important, how it could have ended differently.

Wonderful. I found this book hard to put down--the quick pace keeps you immersed as the protagonists circle the globe.

If you've ever had a chance encounter with a familiar face in an unlikely place, this book will be a haunting reminder that forces greater than we can ever fully comprehend are at work in the world.

I rarely if ever read recreationally and at the recommendation of a friend purchased "Wind of Destiny". This book is truly a wonderful work that quickly draws you into the storyline and stimulates the imagination as to what is around the corner in the pages to come. If you like a romantic adventure than this one will give you cause to examine your own romance with the special one in your life and to not take he/she for granted. My greatest disappointment was that the book ended. I hope that the Author is motivated to ccontinue the adventure. It has the makings of a great movie script.

I have had several diffent breeds of dogs over my lifetime, but never had a beagle. We rescued our Beagle in Virginia where we were Camping with our RV. She had been wandering the campground since May The people who worked at the campground discovered her wandering and found she had recently had puppies because her nipples were pink and here it was August and no one had claimed her, The people who worked for the campground who took care of her were told by the manager if she is not adopted or claimed by September she will have to go to the pound. This was very upsetting to my husband and I. I went to the library and searched for books related to Beagles I read several and found this one to be the most informative for housebreaking, training, and giving information about beagles, their characteristics and temperment. I recommend this book to anyone who never had a beagle and those who already own one it will be useful to both.

I have a wonderful beagle that I adopted from the Humane Society when she was a little less than a year old. This book gives an excellent overview in the overall care and personality of beagles. The photographs will certainly delight any dog lover and especially anyone who owns a beagle. These winsome, intelligent, alert little hounds are popular pets and this book is a welcome teaching tool for those seriously interested in beagle care. This author has done an excellent job of communicating information that practically all ages can absorb. For beagle lovers and/or beagle owners, this is one book to have.

I adopted a 3yr old Beagle from the pound a year ago and wish I had had this book. It tells you all about Beagle personality and how to help correct problems specific to the breed. The author really did her homework talking to breeders and current beagle owners. In addition to beagle-specific topics, there is a lot of good general "how to raise a dog" information. I highly recommend this book for those who are currently owned by a Beagle (or will be in the future).

The book is broken down very nicely into sections. The topics are introduced clearly and briefly in understandable terms. Following the introductions are some examples that apply the concepts and/or equations. Each example has the step by step solution which is easy to follow and prepares the user for the practice exercises. There are sufficient practice problems with answers to the odd numbered problems. This allows the user to check his or her answer and correct any mistakes.

It's great and easy to understand. It's broken into many different lessons that are really easy to comprehend.

Josh Morris traveles to the world's most remote locales in search of stories for magazines. On the other hand, his former wife Briana prefers the confines of her small Missouri farm as the extent of her globetrotting. Their relationship, albeit rather short, produced one precocious little girl, Nealie.

Now in Moscow after a dangerous stint among the Pitcairn penguins, Josh finds messages from his agent to urgently call his ex-wife. When he reaches her by phone, not that easy to connect from Moscow to Missouri, he learns that his beloved Nealie is extremely ill with the deadly Yates anemia disease. Only the blood contained in the umbilical cord of a sibling can save the little girl's life. As Josh immediately returns home, Briana wonders whom will save her life when she becomes intimate with the only man she loves before he deserts her for his next deadly assignment?

THE BABY GIFT is a heart-wrenching contemporary romance that uses modern medical science to perform miracles on Nealie and on the relationship between the lead characters. The entire cast is a delight though if they talked with one other instead of hiding their feelings inside secrets, they would have had less trouble (and we readers no romance). Still Bethany Campbell provides a gift of a tearjerker that will enthrall the audience with its angst-laden story line.

Harriet Klausner

For two months Briana Morris has known that her precious daughter has a deadly blood disease. Her best chance for recovery requires a transplant from a healthy sibling, but Briana divorced her daughter's father Josh seven years ago. Briana's gift for business and growing things ties to her the family farm while Josh's gift for photography carries him to the most dangerous and distant parts of the globe. Despite their divorce, however, neither has gotten over the passion they once shared.

When Briana's desperate call reaches him Russia, Josh hurries back to the states. He is shocked when Briana explains their daughter's illness, and even more so when she explains her proposed solution. In order to save their daughter's life, Briana wants another child. But not the old fashioned way. She proposes they resort to artificial insemination to assure the baby's health. While moral and ethical dilemma divide Briana and Josh, their shared love their child unites them in finding solutions, however unorthodox.

The contrast between a cat afraid of mice and the resilient spirit of a terminally ill child lends THE BABY GIFT a delightful balance. Rather than resigning herself to fear and loss, mother Briana boldly pursues answers that will give her child life, regardless of the risk to her own heart. Burdened by overwhelming responsibilities to her family, she never yields her determination to do what is best for her child. Conversely, Josh confronts the ethical and moral dilemmas of saving his child with fortitude. Their compromises will touch the heart, whatever one's personal beliefs might be. While the conclusion brings healing and independence, this reader felt a bit rushed by the profound changes. Nevertheless, THE BABY GIFT is a moving tale readers will not soon forget, coming very highly recommended.

It is really fascinating, how american people think about our region... I have to tell, that I have some wrong feelings about reading this book, but it is far better that I excepted. In the In-game terms everithing is all right. I find the story quite well. But there is some great problem with the history... If someone is interested in early Hungarian history, I gladly tell to him/her more about it, but just the core: 1) the so-called dako-roman continuity theory - whichis in the book, too - is laughable. The first sign of the "roman" really: vlach people is about the 13th.century in Transylvania. they were sheperds not serfs, and have quite wide liberties. 2) i know, that the ethnical struggle is because of dramatically purposes, but I waited for a short column, which said about the true problem: that there was no "race" "ethnicum" before the 18th. century. Nationalism in hungary was invented by that time. Before that there was a "Hungaro-mind": every people in the country regardless of nation(this word was not exsist), language, religion were the part of the Crown of Hungary. Rivalies were bethween nobles and peasants, or bethween nobles, or bethween different countries, but NOT in bethween "races". this is the inventment of the modern area, and sorrowly it affects most of the people of this region -today... But despite of this the book is really great!

Ps.: If you want to make an other book, which contains hungarian names, please try to find somebody, who can write them right down.:)) Ps2.: Sorry for my wrong English - I know it far to be acceptable in high societies.

This is an great source book for anything in the dark ages. It has anything that you will need for any Dark age chronicle you would be running. Has all the important charcters from the Dark ages in it including the stand point of two of the most powerful clans in it.

Transylvania by Night is a remarkably informative source material for White Wolf's Vampire: the Dark Ages. It indulges the reader in the lifestyle, religion, daily life, and many other factors within Eastern Europe in the Dark Ages. This is a must have for storytellers who wish to set their chronicle in Eastern Europe.

Though Whiteman and Campbell fail to answer a fundamental question in their all-too-brief introduction (just what is a union list?), this undaunted reader was pleased to find a wealth of information in this slender tome. Richly delivering on the title's promise, Whiteman and Campbell do indeed offer a scrupulously alphabetized list of court record holdings, encompassing both the federal and state judiciaries.

Moreover, this helpful work includes addresses, telephone numbers, formats and lending policies of the myriad law libraries profiled herein. While I will probably never ever again refer to this work, it is edifying to know that fastidious scholars Whiteman and Campbell have provided me with the knowledge that the North Carolina Division of Archives & History's Cultural Resources Department holds case files of the North Carolina Supreme Court from 1800 to 1939.

The publisher is to be commended for printing the book using an attractive serif font on pleasing, cream-colored paper. The cover and binding also seem durable enough to stand years of disuse on a forgotten shelf.

In A Union List of Appellate Court Records and Briefs : Federal and State, Whiteman and Campbell outline a new type of Supreme Court brief aesthetics based in contemporary literary theory and exemplified by a variety of imaginative texts, from Anglo-American canonical poetry and fiction to avant-garde music and film. The innovative work links philosophical and aesthetic issues inherent to collections of state and federal briefs, with postmodernism continuing and amplifying the central concerns of romanticism, including subject formation, the disruptive effects of the human body; and the unique forms of textuality found in the writings of lawyers arguing before the appellate courts of Louisiana and New Jersey. Messiers Whiteman and Campbell, discuss such conflicts in psychoanalytic terms, although the book demonstrates how imaginative texts complicate psychoanalytic models, especially in legal bibliography. Perhaps through the influence of Campbell (the droll Frick to the obtuse Frack of Whiteman), the Union List of Appellate Court Records keeps reinventing itself through conflict via the exploration of limits, that is, by surviving extreme experience more than from the results of the dialectic. State or federal? -- who cares as the briefs dissolve in a world affirming, karmic Weltansicht.

Whiteman and Campbell manage to turn a truly dull subject into fascinating reading! Should be on everyone's "must read" list.

When Bluebell Sang is a touching story about an ugly cow named Bluebell who has a stunning voice. She is an excellent musician and can sing with the best of them. However her odd appearance is what catches the attention of Big Eddy. Bid Eddy is a talent agent who thinks that Bluebell is just what everybody's looking for...and he end up being right. Before long, Bluebell is a huge star. However, she grows homesick and yearns to return to her farm of old. So she plans to escape...

This is an appealing book about a singing cow with an unexpected ending. Children can sympathize with the cow and her understanding farmer. The story tells of this cow's talent and her exploitation by a greedy talent agent. The illustrations are big and uncluttered and well illustrate the story's events and emotions. Delightful!

Don't pay any attention to the synopsis given for this book, it is wrong. This book has nothing to do with rabbits. It is about a cow.

This is a wonderful book, a great story to tell or read to children, by a wonderful author. Answers the question "Why do cows gather under trees in the summer?"

I read this book back in my younger horse-obsessed days. A warning..this book ranks right up there for book most likely to scar your horse-crazy child. I remember sobbing uncontrollably to my mother after finishing the book. Well written, but make sure your child is able to handle a book that doesn't exactly have a rose-colored glasses ending.

The book was good, as it gave factual information on horses, and the readers actually LEARNED something! I didn't like the ending, where she had to let go of the horse, but I hope they make a sequel where she finds the horse again! :

TRACY'S father sends up a friend to set traps for horses, coyotes,and other animals. Tracy and her brother come to the woods to get rid of them, when they find a mustang tracy sees that every time the horse tries to get loose his wound gets worse. she cuts him loose but she knows her father can catch him and send him to the butcher to be killedso she takes him to an old cabin and leaves her dog a gaurd. To find out what happens next read this book!
