Delta Green: Dark Theatres (Short Fiction Collection, Delta Green Cthulhu Mythos)

16 reviews
Benjamin Adams, Martin Cirulis, ...

Armitage House, 2001

Second Fiction Anthology for Award-Winning DELTA GREEN
DELTA GREEN is the modern adaptation of Call of Cthulhu. Drawing on the same body of UFO lore and paranormal activity as the X-Files, DELTA GREEN has tapped into something very deep. And of course, once you have a successful RPG, you might as well start the fiction flowing, right? Dark Theaters has some fairly lenghty short stories, designed to flesh out the world of DELTA GREEN. Some clues ...

Level of Detail for 3D Graphics (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics)

2 reviews
David Luebke, Martin Reddy, ...

Morgan Kaufmann, 2002

well written, clearly illustrated
This book gives an excellent overview of the problems and solutions to level-of-detail rendering. Few books in the computer graphics field are this well written. A few things to note: - Though there's plenty of material on simplification of polygonal meshes, there doesn't seem to be much on volume (tetrahedral) simplification. My impression is that volume simplification is kind of hairy, though, ...

Best Resource for Win95
Briefly, I have been looking for a good non-Microsoft book that will offer a critical review of their latest OS - Win95. I had a client with a number of problems after an upgrade and I found the answers immediatly when I looked in the index. I then looked for other odd index topics and found reference to all of them. Other books, including MS Press titles, did not have reference or at least ...

Great comprehensive resource
This small hand-sized book is an excellent resource. Sections are seperated by practical categories (like food, social, and practical). Very easy to read, and really has everything you would need to get around.

France and the Apres Guerre, 1918-1924 : Illusions and Disillusionment

1 review
Benjamin F. Martin

Louisiana State Univ Pr, 1999

A cleverly-written account of Post World War I France!
Life in France after the First World War just didn't make sense to a country that could have been content to win the war. To wit, a political cabinet change at the beginning of 1922 would be enough to fuel one young woman to take off all her clothes in freezing cold weather one afternoon and voice her mad opinions to a crowd assembled at the Place Pigalle. Other Frenchmen killed themselves and ...

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2002

Real World Application of Philosophical Thought
This book does a great job of using philosophical inquiry to address real world problems. Some of the more interesting concepts debated are: what makes life meaningful, what our ethical bases should be, how and when our moral beliefs should be reflected on and changed, when is a person truly dead, how can we know what reality is, the free will problem, etc. Dr. Benjamin does a great job of ...

Dr. Spock's The First Two Years: The Emotional and Physical Needs of Children from Birth to Age 2

3 reviews
Benjamin Spock

Pocket, 2001

Great Resource for Parents - esp. first timers!
This is a very thorough, well organized resource for baby/child questions and issues from birth (even pre-birth) on up. I tend not to think any one book is a complete all in one - but this is pretty darn close. We also like that the advice and opinion offered is not as tense as some other books, as in "you MUST do this and be SURE you DON'T do this", rather, it offers examples and reasons ...

5 reviews
Leslie Harrington, Benjamin Moore Paints, ...

MacMillan Publishing Company., 2000

The Art of Exterior Painting
Painting a house or even thinking about it is no fun. I visited a Benjamin Moore Paint Store and browsed through the store's only copy of the book, The Art of Exterior Painting. The book is very well written with the basics of house painting described in detail and with color photos describing problems, solutions and ultimate results. The book impressed me so much I went home and ordered it ...

William M.; Martin, Benjamin Boast

Executive Excellence Publishing, 1997

Review of Masters of Change
This book gave me an entirely different view on the world in that change is the norm and not having change is abnormal. It brought great perspective to my current situation and has made want to plan for change because I now know it's coming whether we like it or not. It also gets you to think about preparing for the bad times when everything seems to be going so well. It is a very practical ...

Politics by Other Means: Politicians, Prosecutors, and the Press from Watergate to Whitewater

3 reviews
Benjamin Ginsberg, Martin Shefter

W. W. Norton & Company, 1999

the political shift
This was an excellent book. The authors took an extensive look at the shift in the approach to politics today and examined how the shift stems out of history; including references to political parties and the media. The book explains, in an insightful way, how the current focus on prosecution of political figures has contributed to electoral decay. This book includes fascinating insight into ...

Appeasing the Devil
This fascinating book will take you back into time. This is especially so if you believe, as I do, that many lessons for our contemporary time can be gleaned from the experience of those who came before us. Benjamin F. Martin has done a great service in helping us to feel the pulse of the French nation just prior to the outbreak of World War II. He traces its inner conflicts and political ...
