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 ...

The Negative (Ansel Adams Photography, Book 2)

35 reviews
Ansel Adams

Bulfinch, 1995

An excellent technical reference
Concisely written in Adams' own scholarly style, "The Negative" is a valuable resource for photographers learning the foundation of technically correct (as opposed to generally good) base exposure in a variety of scenes, both pedestrian and those that are more conflicting. One must, however, consider that more than 4 decades have passed since the techniques were founded and the technology ...

Tales of the Horseclans

Plume, 1985

Horseclans series
I have the complete set of the Horseclans series. I was very dissapointed that it just ended with several plots left hanging. I have frequently checked book stores and the Internet for new releases. I have not even been able to find the fan sites that were up several years ago. The author actualy lived less than an hour from my home town. Of course I didn't know it then or could drive anyway.

The Print (New Ansel Adams Photography Series, Book 3)

10 reviews
Ansel Adams, Robert Baker

New York Graphic Society, 1984

content excellent, one little remark for the publisher.
The book is excellent. Although these techniques are not widely applied today, with appropriate experience and thinking this knowledge can be applied and transferred to modern software like Adobe Photoshop. It can help relate modern and classic photography printing processes (traditional vs computerized). One little remark would be for the publisher. The paper the book is printed is gloss with ...

X-Presidents

Robert Smigel, Adam Mckay

Villard, 2000

You'll laugh untill you turn blue in the face
Based on a popular Saturday Night Live skit, this book (for those few who have not seen the segments) chronicles the adventures of what might happen if our former presidents had superpowers and an international mandate to save the world from a vaugley identified evil. Granted, the animation style screams cheap 70's cartoon, but this is precisely the point of the animated sketches. The humor is ...

Doc Broc's Stone Hinge Cave Adventure

5 reviews
Adam Young, Shelley Redford Young

Woodland Publishing, 2005

Every child should have this book&CD or at least hear this adventure story.
The story in and of itself is a masterpiece to say the least with its poetic style and beautiful, playful illustrations. Adding the CD just makes it come alive for the reader or listener!!! As a former classroom teacher I can see so much creative writing coming from it; to say nothing of the unending pictures that will be drawn all about it and the stories from those pictures. It can definitely ...

Silence Of The Heart

20 reviews
Robert Adams

Acropolis Books (GA), 1999

Not New Age Neo-Advaita
I have been studying Advaita Vedanta for over forty years including all the traditional sources. I have not been impressed by the current crop of New Age Advaita teachers, whose teachings might be characterized as "the cult of non-practice". Such teachings may be attractive and consoling to those who wish to be congratulated for being "already realized" but not so useful to those who are truly ...

Why People Photograph

7 reviews
Robert Adams

Aperture, 1996

Photographers -- this book is your friend.
If you are not connected with any photography/art community, this book is for you. If none of your friends has an MFA, and if you are in need of someone who can speak intelligently about photography as art, then again, this book is for you. Robert Adams' writing is clear, concise, and insightful. Adams tells us why we photograph, for example, why we photograph landscapes. The answers include: ...

The Prankster and the Conspiracy: The Story of Kerry Thornley and How He Met Oswald and Inspired the ...

7 reviews
Adam Gorightly, Robert Anton Wilson

Paraview Press, 2003

Kerry the Sin Eater
If there ever was a perennial scapegoat of the 60's counterculture it would have to be Kerry Thornley, one of the founding members of the patently anarchist Discordian Society. With a kind of insurrectionary bravado, he took it upon himself to sponge up the sordid projections of the Military Industrial Mafia Complex as well those from the plethora of intelligence revenants who trailed and ...

The Symbols of Christmas: The Story of Jesus Christ

6 reviews
Robert Adams

Tate Publishing & Enterprises, 2004

Awesome Book!!
We have enjoyed reading "The Symbols of Christmas" with our son. It has helped us teach him about Christ and the meaning of Christmas. He can still enjoy Santa and Rudolph, but now understands the true sacrifice Christ made for us. We highly recommend this book to teach your child about Jesus and all that makes Christmas so special.

2008 Nerdcore Calendar: Heroes/Villains

2 reviews
Cherie Roberts (photographer), Jason Adam (artist/designer)

Nerdcore, 2007

Most Awesome Calendar Ever!!!
I'll keep this short: every year the passes, the Nerdcore calendar only gets better. Hell, it's not like any other calendar. It's big (12x18 inches), it's printed on quality paper, and even after the year passes, it's still worth holding onto. The 'Nerdy Holidays' are the coolest part -- lots of interesting dates from major movie releases to comic book anniversaries to, one of my personal ...

Sobolev Spaces, Second Edition (Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 140) (Pure and Applied Mathematics)

4 reviews
Robert A. Adams, John J. F. Fournier

Academic Press, 2003

An invaluable resource
As a PhD student in mathematics focusing on theoretical PDE, I find this monograph to be one of the most useful in my collect. The book is self contained and very easy to read, requiring only a background in real analysis at the beginning graduate/senior undergrad level. This text covers a wide range of topics from the basics of topological vector spaces, all the way through interpolation methods ...

Whispering Back

Nicole Golding, Adam Goodfellow

Ebury Press, 2004

MUST HAVE BOOK FOR ALL
Whispering Back is a must-have book, not just for horse lovers but for everyone. It is a moving, inspiring story that can change the way you think about horses - and life! It made me laugh, cry and smile. A compelling tale full of heros and heroines. Hurry and buy it! Hurry and write another, Nicole and Adam!

Land and Literature of England: A Historical Account

4 reviews
Robert M. Adams

W. W. Norton & Company, 2000

Written for scholars, but entertaining and delightful
Beginning with a physical description of the British Isles, touching lightly on the earliest cultures of man indigenous to the region, Adams's story really begins with the coming of the Germanic, fairhaired Celts sometime in the 1,000 years before Christ. Britain's literature begins with its myths and legends. This book is an entertaining outline of English history as the background of its ...

Atelier Adamson

Steidl/MEP, Paris, 2005

A Beautiful Book
"Atelier Adamson" is a lovely survey of some of the foremost contemporary artists working today; beautifully rendered work by Chuck Close, Donald Sultan, Annie Leibovitz, Jim Dine and Robert Longo, to name a few, with rich, full-page images. The book is a catalogue for an exhibiton of prints from Adamson Editions, a digital atelier in Washington DC. David Adamson is the leading digital printmaker ...

Leadership Dilemmas-Grid Solutions (Blake/Mouton Grid Management and Organization Development Series)

3 reviews
Robert Rogers Blake, Anne Adams McCanse

Butterworth-Heinemann, 1991

At last a way to understand office politics!
Most management texts try to deal with how you as an individual can influence how other people behave so that you come out on top. This book goes under the skin of different personality types to show what it is that motivates them in the way they behave. Instead of showing how to "use" people to get what you want, it shows how to get the best out of everyone, yourself included, to get what ...

Classical Architecture

Robert Adam

Harry N. Abrams, 1991

The Gray's Anatomy of Classical Architecture
This is a brilliant book. Derek Brentnall's illustrations are superb. What makes this book a joy is that it really opens a world for anyone who wants to know more about why so many of our banks, office buildings, schools and halls of government look the way they do. And it really gets detailed - not in an overwhelming or pedantic way - but in a fun, informative and artful style that calls out ...

Fredric Jameson

3 reviews

Taylor & Francis, 2002

Cutting through the jargon
I found this book tremendously helpful when attempting to trudge through Jameson's dense academic writing. This book not only sets out a chronological development of Jameson's arguments, but also provides many of his theoretical influences, from Marx to Lacan. In addition, difficult terms (such as "cognitive mapping" or "schizophrenia") and fellow critics (e.g. Habermas) are presented in an ...

Inspired
I bought the book for my grand children and couldn't resist reading it myself. I found it radiating God's presence from cover to cover and was exceedingly blessed. I recommend it for children of all ages.
