(introductions by: David Drake; Ramsey Campbell; David Weber; S. M. Stirling; and T. K. F. Weisskopf) Howard Baen Books, 1995 An excellent collection of the works of Robert E. Howard This is a collection of paperbacks published by Baen Books in the mid-1990s. Included here are a variety of works by Howard, including stories from the adventure, horror and fantasy genres. The titles speak for themselves. This series provides a nice survey of Howard's non-Conan work. Each book has an introduction written by a horror or fantasy author such as Ramsey Campbell or David Drake. ...             Bran Mak Morn: Legion from the Shadows1 review Karl Edward Wagner Zebra Books, 1976 A Forgotten Classic Karl Wagner wrote this pastiche of Robert E. Howard's pictish king, Bran Mac Morn during the heyday, resurgence, or whatever it was of Howard reprints in paperback. Wagner wove a tale of swords and sorcery around the very real disappearance of the Roman 9th Legion in Britain and what a tale it is. Despite his success as a writer of heroic fantasy, Wagner always considered himself more a writer of ...             Reason and Analysis (Muirhead Library of Philosophy)8 reviews Bran Blanshard Routledge, 2004 Incredible, stylish AND lucid scholarship Brand Blanshard's work in defence of Reason is incredible. This book was published in 1962, and, given its length (especially at a time when there were no word processors), must have been in the works for some time before then. Blanshard mostly takes on the philosophical schools of logical positivism and linguistic analysis in this volume, and is an opponent of any school of thought that denies ...             Mobilize Your Enterprise: Achieving Competitive Advantage Through Wireless Technology (HP Professional Series)9 reviews Patrick Brans Prentice Hall PTR, 2002 Extremely well written and concise book Pat Brans has done a masterful job of taking a complex subject such as mobility and wireless and boiling it down to its most important components. Besides his ability to explain wireless technology in simplistic terms, Brans delivers a compelling guide for business executives grappling with difficult decisions regarding why/when/how should I deploy mobility and what can our company expect to ...             Gods and Fighting Men4 reviews LeClue22, 2008 This is THE actual Book of Irish Mythology Gods and Fighting Men is an excellent resource because it preserves the lore from the Book of Invasions as well as other sources -- the legends of the earliest inhabitants of Ireland, the coming of the Tuatha De Danaan (The People of Dana) and the stories of Finn MacCumhail. What is portrayed as "Early Irish Mythology" 99% of the time actually isn't -- the dozens of translations of The Tain, ...             The Nature of Thought (Muirhead Library of Philosophy)1 review Bran Blanshard Routledge, 2004 They just don't write 'em like that anymore In this brilliant two-volume work, rationalist Brand Blanshard traces the development and immanent purpose of human thought from the beginnings of perception to its ultimate, transcendent end: the grasp of all reality as a tremendous whole, a vast system interconnected throughout by intelligible relations of necessity. Not, of course, that he thinks we have _arrived_ at such an understanding, ...             The Oat and Wheat Bran Health Plan: The Delicious Way to Lower Cholesterol...1 review Dina R. Jewell Bantam, 1989 A good way to a better diet This is a great book! It has a lot of useful information that you can't find in your average health book or magazine. I reccomend it to anyone who is trying to loose a few pounds or just become healthy. It sheds good light on a new diet plan that one will reap in the benefits once he or she has started. I feel better every morning because of my new diet.             Model Driven Architecture and Ontology Development1 review Springer, 2006 Great book for ontology learning and development Great book, well structured, contains a very usefull introduction to model driven architecture and knowledge representation. Ontologies context is ideal for beginners and covers everything from basic ontology design to software tools and programming APIs!             Hood: King Raven Trilogy, Book 1 (Unabridged)64 reviews Stephen R. Lawhead audible.com This was a beautifully wrought tale! I absolutely loved this novel. Now of course I am a former history major and a medieval/dark age "junky" so the material is right up my alley. But I love the weaving in of various languages, the well worked in view of the church and actions of the churchmen. The language was beautiful, the descriptions grand, the dialogue very well done. I absolutely love "Aethelfrith" i.e. Friar Tuck. There ...             Enduring Cuba (Travel Literature)3 reviews Zoe Bran Lonely Planet, 2008 The real thing This is one of the very few really good books on Cuba available right now, mostly because it's much much, more than just a travel book. Unlike many so-called experiences of the island, Bran's book doesn't sentimentalise but gives the real experience of someone visiting Cuba with a clear, unbiased eye. There's history here and personal experience and a whole lot of great description of people and ...             Real-Time Object-Oriented Modeling10 reviews Bran Selic, Garth Gullekson, ... John Wiley & Sons, 1994 Excellent Presentation of OO for Embedded Development I have used ROOM since 1993 - it is a very useful and flexible methodology. The authors present it in a very clear and well thought out manner. The examples also show that this is not a "toy" methodology. ROOM comes out of the author's years of experience in developing real solutions; I can only say that it has been very successful for myself and teams I've been on as well. That it has ...             Bran Mak Morn: The Last King19 reviews Robert E. Howard Del Rey, 2005 Beyond Sword and Socery, This is Literature! Beauty and savagery, sorrow and violence, such is the song of Bran Mak Morn. These are violent fantasy tales, but written with such literary flare you cannot put them down. Robert E. Howard captures the emotion of rage like no one else. As an exploration of rage and the things it can drive men to do, this is a superlative work. As compelling adventure stories, nothing is better.             Nebula Maker2 reviews Olaf Stapledon Bran's Head Books, 1976 APOCALYPSE THEN This is a draft for what eventually became Star Maker. The Creator is the same being -- his interest is in seeing how his creations work out, not a benevolent concern for their welfare as perceived by them. The universe described is a draft too --the Creator learns from results and tries other models. We find that out in Star Maker. Here Stapledon 'restricts' himself to the saga of the nebulae, ...             Bran Mak Morn (1969)1 review Robert E. Howard Dell Publishing, 1969 Adventure and heros of a forgotten age Set at the time of Romans in England when Hadrian's wall was a going thing, Bran Mak Morn is about a black Pict King who stood against the Romans. In the Arthur tales we have a southern King who stood for civilization: in Bran Mak Morn we have a King who was of the elder blood and sought to turn the greedy tide of Roman urbanization. Robert E. Howard calls every kind of ancient legend and ...             The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries16 reviews, 2008 Terrific! I pulled this volume out of the library several years back and devoured it; then I bought it, because there is a great deal of fascinating and well-written information here about the old belief in fairies. Mr. Evans-Wentz traveled around Great Britain, Brittany and other locations, gathering the stories of the old folks who still believed in fairies, as well as the stories their children and ...             An Introduction to Elvish, Other Tongues, Proper Names and Writing Systems of the Third Age of the Western ...4 reviews Bran's Head Books, 1978 The Earliest, But Still the Best Good scholarship is not "obsoleted" by the passage of time, Mr. Fauskanger... Although Jim Allen et al's 'An Introduction to Elvish' was written before the publication of 'The Silmarillion' and the important 'History of Middle Earth' series it nevertheless remains the most reliable book yet published on Tolkien's invented languages. Further -- unlike Fauskanger's 'Ardalambion' website and ...             Bran Mak Morn - The Warrior King of the Picts1 review MacMay, 2008 Terrible formatting This book suffers from terrible formatting on the Kindle. It is almost unreadable when viewed in font sizes larger than the default font size. Thankfully Amazon lets you return Kindle books very easily. I would recommend Bran Mak Morn: The Last King Bran Mak Morn: The Last King Published by Ballantine Books.             Bran Mak Morn: The Last King2 reviews Robert E. Howard Del Rey Books, 2005 Robert E. Howard's Bran Mak Morn Robert E. Howard, to me is the best writer of all time! I wish he could have lived longer than 30 years. He lived from 1906-1936 and spent the last few years of his life in Cross Plains, TX. Excerpt from back of book reads as follows: From Robert E. Howard's fertile imagination sprang some of fiction's greatest heroes, including Conan the Cimmerian, King Kull,and Solomon Kane. But of all ...             Bran Mak Morn13 reviews Robert E. Howard Wandering Star, 2001 Another Howardian Gem You gotta love these Robert E. Howard books! The grandfather of testosterone drenched fantasy stories hits another homerun with this cycle of Bran Mak Morn tales offered in one volume. It is really too bad the other Baen volumes of Howard's works are out of print because this is excellent entertainment. Like Howard's other superhuman heroes, Conan and Kull, Bran Mak Morn is tough as nails and ...             Iris Murdoch for Beginners4 reviews Bran Nicol Writers & Readers Publishing, 2001 Now I know why I was attracted when diagnosed with CRS Very soon after I was diagnosed as inflicted with Alzheimer's, the movie, "Iris", came forth. Before I saw the movie, I bought the book, John Bayley's, "Iris, A Memoir," but have not been able to finish it, one of my CRS symptoms is an inability to read as I used to. Then I saw the movie, and it was as confusing to me as "Godsford Park," because of the convoluted story line: e.g., ALZ has ...              search for books achieving, advantage, analysis, architecture, beginners, cholesterol, collection, competitive, countries, darkness, delicious, development, enterprise, fairy-faith, introduction, literature, middle-earth, mobilize, muirhead, object-oriented, ontology, philosophy, professional, professor, published, real-time, technology, unabridged, wireless, writings books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
