Pop-Up Introduction to Tibetan Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism is intimidating in its complexity. Despite the Dalai Lama's accessible,user-friendly books about happiness and compassion, it remains exotic with its visualizations, mantras, and imagery. "Tibetan Buddhist Altars:A Pop-Up Gallery of Traditional Art and Wisdom" is a colorful and surprisingly reverent introduction to Tibetan Buddhism. The "portable altars" are to Shakyamuni ...

Absolutely Outstanding
A very fair coverage of the issues raised by the abysmal TV show The Valour and the Horror. Including the report of the CBC Ombudsman, as well as the rebuttal by Galafilm, the meat of this book is the detailed anaylysis by several distinguished Canadian historians. Even and balanced, written in a very scholarly way with extensive notes, this book is an effective tool in deconstructing the ...

As Comprehensive As It Gets
From the earliest to the newest and all points in between. Cars from America as well as cars from overseas. Probably every known car and car maker are in this book. Packed full of information so much that it seems almost impossible to believe that their is so many cars that have been built throughout this span of time. Could be more detailed however on certain cars such as the Cobra Jet ...

Newly Flexible Runner
I come from a runner background and have been looking for a workout to improve my flexibility. I saw Hot Bod Fusion and bought it since it includes pretty much every discipline known for flexibility. What's great about this book is that each chapter only takes me about 10 minutes--cool. Exercises also include `tips' from the author that help keep me on track and focused. I've done the routine ...

Exellent!
This was a very interesting book for me to read because Edward Lee Howard's son lives by me and goes to school with my sister. I also think it was very informative on how he got away.

Fascinating and Scarey
This is a great book about the CIA and Jim Angleton. It is the kind of true story that is almost hard to believe because it is so compelling and so interesting. There have been several movies that have been based on some of the characters and events in this book. Matt Damons character in The Good Sheperd is a carbon copy of Angleton and also Michael Keaton played him in the mini series The ...
Monstrous Compendium Annual, Vol. 1 (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, Accessory/2145

Incredible!
As far as I am concerned, this is one of the best "monster books" in existense in the AD&D game. The art is fresh and vibrant ( unlike the washed-out art of Planescape appendixes), the creatures are creative and each and every one of them is capable of having an entire adventure centered on it and it alone. A few things - the spelling is horrible; the binding is simple glue spread - the book ...

Everything is connected
This is a great book that helps define what the internet is and how it is effecting our lives. This book provides great insight and gets you thinking about what we do every day on the internet. Are we being more social or anti-social if we spend more time on the internet? We are creating the internet with every web page and every weblog. It's like writing a book that never finishes. This book ...

Adds unique depth to a Ravenloft campaign
Welcome to the realm of the most intriguing denizens of Ravenloft - the Vistani, the dream walkers, the gypsies of the mists... this sourcebook (for all levels) reveals their secrets, beliefs, customs, magic, and even (agh!) full materials on designing Vistani PCs, if your sanity can take it. A wonderful sourcebook that is easily converted to any AD&D world, adding a powerful, fascinating new ...

A True and Well Written Story of a 20 Year Double Agent
This is an amazing story from the very real (and too soon slipping from memory) Cold War. It is principally the story of Joe Cassidy, a rather normal sergeant in the US Army, who was recruited to become a dangle for a Soviet Agent. The ploy worked and Cassidy became a double agent for more than twenty years. Of course, these kinds of stories rather quickly become rather entangled with lots of ...

THIS SAVED MY LIFE!
I have suffered from chronic pelvic pain since I was eighteen, which was fourteen years ago. I developed the pain through over-stretching. Initially I thought that it had been a tear or sprain. Who knows, it might have been. Physical therapy helped me up to a point, but I could not get rid of the inflammation or sever burning. I was in pain constantly regardless of what I was doing: sitting ...

Excellent book. Written like a novel and use of real documents well placed. I had a hard time putting it down. Gave greater insight to the Movie "Breach".

If you have ALL the guides, you don't have this one!
This is the one you HAVE to get. I have ALL the Van Richten "Guides", but this one carries the "Guide to Witches" which has never before been published! So, if you thought you had it all, you don't. Don't be fooled, however, with volumes 1 & 2. If you have ALL the Van Richten "Guides", you already have ALL of 1 & 2 and most of 3. The "Guide to Demons" is nothing more than "Van Richten's ...
