The saga continues
Babylon 5 creator and Amazing Spider-Man scribe J. Michael Straczynski continues his brilliant and mature look at Squadren Supreme characters in this second collected edition of Supreme Power. Government pawn super-human Mark Milton, AKA Hyperion, has learned the truth behind his origin and to say he isn't happy is saying it lightly. After a cataclysmic battle with Joe "Doc Spectrum" Ledger, ...

One of the Best in the Business
As a user of harrriet lane for years...This book goes beyond. As an easy to read, comprehensive resource for almost everything you will see as an inpatient house officer, I would recommend keeping it with you at all times. It is filled with all the questions you find yourself often looking up on those late night calls. It gives you the one line answers you are always looking for. It has ...

Chung Ling Soo, The Man of Mystery

Gary R Frank

Fantastic Magic Co, 1988

Very good book of Chung Ling Soo's life!
This numbered, limited edition, authored by Gary R. Frank, has been fully approved by Hector Robinson son of William E. Robinson. Each book has a bookplate signed by Hector Robinson. It is a short (52pages) but exhausting bibliography on Chung Ling Soo. This is one of the books in the bibliography of the new Jim Steinmeyer's book.

Davis Publications, 1977

4th issue
This fourth issue of Asimov's long-running magazine has some great stories like "Heretic In A Balloon" by L. Sprague de Camp. Other authors include Asimov himself, F.M. Busby, Randall Garrett, and Barry Malzberg. This magazine was launched the same year Star Wars was released, and this is the first issue to mention the classic film, as it's reviewed by Charles N. Brown, with 3 black & white ...

Spectacular!!!
This is an example of how all super-hero comics should be written. If you are not a fan of the Squadron, no problem. This is after all Marvel's very transparent version of the JLA!!!

Basic Dysrhythrams Interpretations & Management

Robert J. Huszar, Fletcher, ...

Mosby-Year Book, 2001

This text is invaluable
I'm currently using this book as a supplemental text for my paramedic training. We've just finished cardiology, and I couldn't have done it without this text. I already owned Phalen, Dubin, and Huff; all are good, but the Huszar text is now the one I go to first when I have a question about ECG's. There are a multitude of practical illustrations, tables, and review questions. Best of all is ...

Midnight Nation - New Edition (Midnight Nation)

4 reviews
J. Michael Straczynski, Gary Frank

Top Cow Productions/Image Comics, 2005

Brilliant!
This is a fantastic trade paperback. Straczynski's writing and Frank's artwork come together with freshness and originality. The story has a lot of great Heaven and Hell stuff, kind of like Garth Ennis' "Preacher" books with a bit of X-files thrown in. It's pretty intense, definitely not for kids. It's nice and long, so you can settle down for a good read. And you won't see the ending ...

The Career Portfolio Workbook

5 reviews

McGraw-Hill, 2002

A must have
I know you've heard it before, buy this book and great things will happen. This book is different. It offers easy to read, true to life examples of what it is really like when your out looking for a job or promotion. The authors base the workbook on how you can set yourself apart from your competition. I was very hesitant at first but gave the career portfolio a try. The step by step ...

Science fiction in comics at its best

He is aided by Elspeth Leakey, the British park ranger daughter of a former spy, and Trey "Mac" MacAloon, a former executive in the company that is out to destroy the lifestyle Bob and his people.

Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk

Marvel Comics, 2008

Best Hulk Story line in years
Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk I purchased this book due to hearing a lot of praise for this storyline. This book did not disappoint. Easily one of the best Hulk stories that I have ever read. I recommend this for anyone who was ever a fan of the Incredible Hulk. The movies and a lot of the comics do not provide a good "feel" of the character. This book does that, and provides plenty of ...

Understanding Economics Today

1 review
Gary M Walton, Frank C Wykoff

McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2000

Economic Growth and Development: Reveiw
This is an excellent economic development book for the undergraduate and masters level audience. The focus of this book as compared to other development books (i.e. Todaro) is that it emphasizes the importance of economic growth rather than equity issues. I find this approach refreshing. Van den Berg uses historical and current case studies to bring the theory out of the book and into the real ...

Temple of Elemental Evil (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons/AD&D Supermodule T1-4)

1 review
Gary Gygax, Frank Mentzer

TSR Hobbies, 1985

What, seriously, no one has reviewed this yet?
Before adventure boxed sets became the norm, in the days when the average scenario module ran between 24 and 32 pages, this was the first "super-module." Originally promised as module T2 in 1979's The Village of Hommlet (T1) (which is included in a slightly modified form herein), this is a monstrous sequel which far exceeded my teen-aged over-hyped expectations, even after waiting five years for ...

Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes (Superman (DC Comics))

Geoff Johns

DC Comics, 2008

The Stuff Heroes Are Made Of
When I was a kid growing up, the Legion of Super-Heroes was one of my favorite comics ideas. They debuted in issues of SUPERBOY as a group of super teens from the 30th century. At first there was only Lightning Lad, Cosmic Boy, and Saturn Girl. But dozens of others joined over the years. I wasn't the only comics fan taken with the idea of a club of teen superheroes. The demand for more ...

Born to Steal: When the Mafia Hit Wall Street

29 reviews
Gary Weiss

Warner Adult, 2003

Pulitzer winner Weiss with a very fascinating story
Mr. Weiss shows us how he has been able to capture his Pulitzer. The author "lets the hood tell his story" as one reviewer complains, but I would assert that this is a BIG asset to this book. Yes, we find out the "banality of evil" but that is beside the point. You may find yourself dealing with this part of society in one shape or another eventually and you may be surprised to find that the ...

Birds of Prey

5 reviews
Chuck Dixon

Topeka Bindery, 1999

Great action
Birds of Prey is one of my favorite comic books. Not only does it feature two strong female characters who act without the assistance of male heroes, but the stories also read like straightforward adventure stories, rather than typically fantastic superhero adventures. The fact that Black Canary and Oracle exist in a superhero universe is almost completely incidental to these tales (guest ...

Filet of Soul
Cop's soul is sttolen. Cop is not pleased. He goes for a long walk to get it back. Yes, I'm leaving out a lot of the good bits (Laurel) but I don't want to be a spoilsport. One reviewer compared this to Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere" because of the "slipping between the cracks" lost people imagery. It's not a stolen idea, or if it was it was stolen from someone else a long, long time ago. It's a ...

New trends in Sociology
This book is very enlightening in lots of issues concerning Sociology. From the new theories to the criticism of the classical. From the classical problems in sociology to new ones, such as the Web, the body or the individualism in our society. It is also a good handbook. It can be used almost as a reference book. A very good book to everyone concerned with the new ways for sociology, whether ...
