books by Brunner     books:       Howard The Duck Omnibus3 reviews Steve Gerber, Val Mayerik Marvel Comics, 2008 Omnibus in color (Essential in black and white) I purchased the Essential Howard the Duck and was bummed that the book ended before the story played out, and the art was black and white. So I ordered Howard The Duck Omnibus and got the whole story in color. If you want to read Howard The Duck, get the Omnibus.             ScreenOS Cookbook9 reviews Stefan Brunner, Vik Davar, ... O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008 This book is a must have for ScreenOS users. Simply put, anyone who is currently evaluating or managing ScreenOS based Firewalls should own this book and have it close by. The 1st chapter of the book alone shows the most useful commands that every administrator needs to know. It also details the architecture of ScreenOS which is the key to creating and implementing a relevant security policy in any network. The book is well written ...             Do You Matter? How Great Design Will Make People Love Your Company71 reviews Robert Brunner, Stewart Emery, ... FT Press, 2008 An enjoyable (and educational) read I grabbed this book because the title seemed interesting and, hey, the cover is bright orange! My background is mostly technical; the business side of business has never interested me at all. Never in a million years would I see myself picking up a 'business self-help' or industrial design book, but I figured I would step outside my comfort zone and give it a try. I am glad that I did. ...             Tome of Battle: The Book of Nine Swords (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying)33 reviews Richard Baker, Frank Brunner, ... Wizards of the Coast, 2006 Our new favorite PC book My entire gaming group reached a consensus: this book is our new favorite book for core classes in DnD 3.5. First off, a cautionary note: DM's WILL want to read this before letting their player with all the disposable income roll up a character from this book, as its systems are complicated and the character abilities have been created almost whole-cloth. In general, we've found the classes ...             The Cat Owner's Manual: Operating Instructions, Troubleshooting Tips, and Advice on Lifetime Maintenance ...15 reviews Sam Stall, Dr. David Brunner Quirk Books, 2004 A Rare Success! I have come accross many cat books, dog books, and dog or cat books that are written in a funny style. This is one of those rare books that actually manages to succeed in everything it aspires to! Not only is this book recent (2004), inexpensive, and hillariously written and illustrated, but it has all of the basic information a cat owner would need in an extremely USEFUL format. Man, how I ...             The Dog Owner's Manual: Operating Instructions, Troubleshooting Tips, and Advice on Lifetime Maintenance13 reviews David Brunner, Sam Stall, ... Quirk Books, 2004 My Favorite dog care book now! This is now my favorite dog book of all time! My favorite part of the book is the Top Selling Models page where thay talk about some well known breeds. A lot of my favorite breeds are on it like the German Shepherd, Chihuahua,Yorkshire Terrier, Doberman Pinscher, American Staffordshire Terrier, Collie, Poodle, Dachshund, Basset Hound, Beagle, Akita, Boxer, Jack Russell Terrier, Greyhound, Pug, ...             The Sheep Look Up32 reviews John Brunner Benbella Books, 2003 The Top 5 of the Scariest Books I Have Ever Read I agree with what others have said about this book. It is written in a very jerky, unusual style, and can be a bit hard to follow at times. But given that it was written so long ago, it is frighteningly, eerily relevant. I read the book in 2 days (which was a feat considering how it is written). It has stayed with me for weeks. Current news reports are ones that appear in the book, and ...             Magic of Incarnum (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying)15 reviews James Wyatt, Frank Brunner, ... Wizards of the Coast, 2005 One of the better D&D game supplements presented this decade. When it comes to supplement books to the Dungeon & Dragons game, players and Dungeon Masters alike must learn to pick and choose their battles. I say this because while many D&D books can prove to be quite viable in introducing new material into the game (e.g., new spells, character feats and options, monsters, and adventures), others can be a tad redundant and perhaps even useless to a given ...             Second Variety (The Collected Stories of Philip K. Dick, Vol. 3)7 reviews Philip K. Dick Citadel Press, 2002 There'll Never Be Another Like Him This book, third in a set of five from Citadel Press (who are doing similar definitive collections of Robert Bloch & Theodore Sturgeon), collects all of Dick's short stories, the vast majority of them from the 50s - not coincidentally, the high-water mark of the sf pulps. All are introduced by later-era sf writers like Tom Disch, Norman Spinrad & this volume's John Brunner; unfortunately, all ...             Magic Item Compendium (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying)39 reviews Andy Collins, Mike Mearls, ... Wizards of the Coast, 2007 Love It!! Great Gift IDEA!!! I loved it as soon as I pulled out of the box and touched the shiny new cover. Opening it up was like entering a whole new world. The items are fresh and exiting. Easy to read and a joy to locate a new item that lays in wait for the unsuspecting adventuring party. The only thing I have to say that is negative is: it would be nice to have pictures of every item. But how realistic is ...             Stand on Zanzibar40 reviews John Brunner Gollancz, 1999 Fun, futuristic speculation from the late 1960's This big, sprawling novel is essentially a sci-fi spy thriller, but the real star of the show is the whacky world of the future in which the whole story takes place. Written in the late `60's, Brunner employs lots of technical fireworks to bring that future world to life. Many readers will find this annoying and almost incomprehensible at first, but after a hundred pages or so, the main plot ...             The Shockwave Rider24 reviews John Brunner Del Rey, 1995 I demand a reprint Little is to be added to the other reviews. This 28-year old book not only decribed the internet as it will become very soon long before its inception, but computer viruses (called "worms" by Brunner) before the first PC too, plus a few other things and issues not even mentioned yet. Since a friend gave it to me to read many years ago, I've bought every copy of it I could find. I have kept one ...             Bears: A Brief History3 reviews Bernd Brunner Yale University Press, 2008 Very Interesting Book on Bears and People As the owner of a vast bear library, I always welcome the rare bear book that documents the historical relationship between people and bears. Along with very interesting text, this book is full of photos and illustrations that help paint the picture of our past relationship with this fascinating and wonderful animal. Mr. Brunner did his homework with this book and therefore warrants a spot on the ...             The Lippincott manual of nursing practice4 reviews Lillian Sholtis Brunner Lippincott, 1982 A MUST-HAVE! This is a must-have for any person involved in the nursing career field! This is perfect for a nursing student, or a nurse! This is the type of reference book to use for a lifetime, with up to date information everything nursing related. The book is organized in a simple, easy to use format, and every topic is covered. Well worth the money, this is an excellent investment.             Appalachian Values2 reviews Loyal Jones Jesse Stuart Foundation, 1994 Applachia This book is a warm and truthful view of the people of rural Appalachia. I myself found it full of information and photographs that were very useful. A good read!             Wristwatches: A Handbook And Price Guide (Schiffer Book for Collectors) Gisbert L. Brunner, Christian Pfeiffer-Belli Schiffer Publishing, 2005 Now in its revised fifth edition, this book is designed for the collector, with an historical survey, a description of how mechanical wristwatches work, and a glossary. Updated price ranges for various wristwatches are included, along with a chapter on fakes, knock-offs, and hybrids. Even a chapter on the popular Swatch watches is included. Information on the preservation, care, and repair of watches rounds out the volume, making it an excellent ...             Milton Friedman's Monetary Framework: A Debate with His Critics1 review University of Chicago Press Journals, 1975 Friedman never grasped Knight's uncertainty -risk approach Meltzer edited this collection of essays containing Friedman's most up to date exposition of his macro model and a series of comments from other macroeconomists such as James Tobin,Paul Davidson,Don Patinkin and Meltzer himself in the 1972-74 time period.The major problem in these essays is the failure of all the above mentioned economists(Davidson mentions the distinction frequently,but ...             Wristwatches / Armbanduhren / Montres-Bracelets2 reviews Gisbert L. Brunner, Christian Pfeiffer-Belli h. f. ullmann, 2008 One of the best in an all-too-shallow genre There are not a lot of watch collecting/information books on the market, and of those few, only a handful really stand out. This is one of those few. Covers quite a lot, has some in depth information for beginners, and is still a great reference for the experienced.             Essential Dr. Strange, Vol. 3 (Marvel Essentials)6 reviews Steve Englehart, Frank Brunner, ... Marvel Comics, 2008 not a bad distraction First of all, let's set the terms of this review. I was aware that this was b/w prior to ordering it and I was okay with that. Also, I had never read even a single issue of Doctor Strange, so I really have no frame of reference with regard to the comic's legacy. At age 30 it has probably been nearly 2 decades since I've read comics at all (although I was a passionate Marvel fan back in the day). ...             Explorer's Handbook (Dungeon & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying, Eberron Supplement)4 reviews David Noonan, Rich Burlew, ... Wizards of the Coast, 2005 Great additional sourcebook, full of good ideas Well, another Eberron book, and another winner. The artwork in this book is awesome, the cover art, the chapter beginning and pictures throughout are all of consistent high quality. The content seems to be well laid out, however the lack of index in reference books is becoming frustrating. The book contains the following Chapters (you will need the TOC as there is no index...) ...              search for books appalachian, armbanduhren, bracelets, collected, collectors, compendium, dungeons, essential, essentials, explorer, framework, friedman, handbook, incarnum, instructions, lifetime, lippincott, maintenance, monetary, montres-bracelets, operating, practice, roleplaying, schiffer, screenos, shockwave, supplement, troubleshooting, wristwatches, zanzibar books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
