Paul of Dune
Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

Macmillan Audio, 2008

Frank Herbert's Dune ended with Paul Muad’Dib in control of the planet Dune. Herbert’s next Dune book, Dune Messiah , picked up the story several years later after Paul’s armies had conquered the galaxy. But what happened between Dune and Dune Messiah ? How did Paul create his empire and become the Messiah? Following in the footsteps of Frank Herbert, New York Times bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. ...

The New Media Frontier: Blogging, Vlogging, and Podcasting for Christ
John Mark Reynolds, Roger Overton

Crossway Books, 2008

Experts survey the new media landscape and explore specific ways in which Christians can expand their ministry effectiveness and advance their worldview with discernment and grace. A Pew Study reports that only 2% of America’s twelve million bloggers claim “religion, spirituality or faith” as their main topic. This leaves a great mission field in cyberspace, say contributors to The New Media Frontier , because the latest ...

Literature and the Environment: A Reader on Nature and Culture (The Longman Literature and Culture Series)

1 review
Lorraine Anderson, Scott Slovic, ...

Longman, 1998

Excellent for teaching
Literature and the Environment: A Reader on Nature and Culture has been an invaluable resource and platform for discussion in my high school literature class that centers around the natural world and man's place in it. The essays, poems, and excerpts avoid groupthink, polarization of issues, and are, for the most part, accessible to students.

Angel Dogs: Divine Messengers of Love

8 reviews
Allen Anderson, Linda Anderson

New World Library, 2005

Dog lovers must read
Recently we lost our Chocolate Lab "Moose" who was 13yrs old and reading this comforted me!

Jethro Tull: A History of the Band, 1968-2001

16 reviews
Scott Allen Nollen

McFarland & Company, 2001

Great history of an elusive band
A reader of this book recently criticized it for not being a "biography." Nowhere does this book nor its publicity materials claim that it is a "biography" of any kind. It is "A History of the Band, 1968-2001," as it explicitly states on its cover. And it's a book obviously meant for someone who is already a Jethro Tull fan: Let's face it, if a person isn't a fan of the band, he isn't going to ...

Understanding Flight

David Anderson, Scott Eberhardt

McGraw-Hill Professional, 2000

A great introduction into flight
I always was very interested in flight and aerodynamics but never really had the chance to read a book that gave me a clear understanding of the principles that are involved in it. Understanding Flight is a great introduction for everyone who is interested in this field. It provides a lot of useful information and explains the phenomenon of flight in a easy way. The good thing about this book ...

When Children Love to Learn: A Practical Application of Charlotte Mason's Philosophy for Today

4 reviews

Crossway Books, 2004

Theory Meets Practice
This is a great book for those who are at least somewhat familiar with the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason and want to see how it looks in the home or school classroom. For those not familiar with Mason, I recommend For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay (also a contributing author in this book.)

Becoming a Nation of Readers: The Report of the Commission on Reading
Richard C. Anderson, Elfrieda H. Hiebert, ...

National Academy of Education, 1985

The Butlerian Jihad (Legends of Dune, Book 1)

276 reviews
Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

Macmillan Audio, 2002

Nascent stories woven together make fascinating reading.
What would it be like to converse with and fight with machines that can think? Can a robot learn to appreciate art? This book did a splendid job of exploring those subjects and of course much more. This is the story of the known universe over 10.000 years before "Dune". The characters and sometimes families, are the seeds of what we find later in the Dune series. This is the first book of what ...

The Machine Crusade (Legends of Dune, Book 2)

106 reviews
Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

Macmillan Audio, 2003

The Legend of Dune Series Continues...
As with the other books by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, I believe this book is judged harshly based solely on the fact that Frank Herbert didn't rise from the dead and pen it himself. That aside, this novel is an excellent addition to the dune universe. This novel continues where The Butlerian Jihad leave off and is quite entertaining. Dispite being the middle book in a trilogy, this ...

The Man Who Tried to Save the World: The Dangerous Life and Mysterious Disappearance of an American Hero

24 reviews
Scott Anderson

Anchor, 2000

Cuny was a man with a mission !
I read this book a couple of years ago, and just recently reread it. What a fascinating story. For those who are interested in humanitarian crises, and what it takes to make things happen; within the myriad non-governmental organizations and governments as well; this is the book for you. Cuny's CV reads like a laundry list of the disasters (mostly manmade) of our time. Bosnia and Chechenya ...

Sandworms of Dune

119 reviews
Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

Macmillan Audio, 2007

Not nearly as compelling as its predecesor, but still finishes strong.
Hunters of Dune was a much better read than Sandworms of Dune. Sandworms picks up shortly after Hunters of Dune and the novel starts out very slow. The mid-section is not that much more exciting and plods along with very little steam. I have to admit though, that the ending (last 125 pages) was excellent and literally saved this novel. It finishes very strong, all the plot lines come together in ...

Inside Out: How Corporate America Destroyed Professional Wrestling

12 reviews
Ole Anderson, Scott Teal

Crowbar Press, 2003

One of the Better Books about Wrestling
This books should be called, "How Corporate America Ruins Everything." This isn't just a story about wrestling, it's a story about big money coming in and taking control of something it knows nothing about and running it into the ground. What I liked about this book is that Anderson is not just an athlete, he's a business school graduate, so he knows what he's talking about. I'm sure he's ...

Moonlight Hotel

6 reviews
Scott Anderson

Anchor, 2007

one of the great unheralded novels of the year
This is one of the finest novels I've read in a long time, perhaps passed over by critics and others because its author is more known for his cutting edge wartime reporting. The book really conveys what it's like to be there in the midst of the manipulation, secrecy, and cynicism that goes on in the thoughts and actions of people and institutions with the power to change the world. Far more ...

Predator Omnibus Volume 4
Kevin J. Anderson, Gordon Rennie, ...

Dark Horse, 2008

Across the centuries, humanity's capacity for violence has marked time as surely as the movement of the stars. And from those very stars have come an invisible participant in our history, the extraterrestrial Predator, who has used mankind's own penchant for murder and mayhem as a shadow to cover its own bloody tracks. But the Predator has not passed through the ages unnoticed, and despite the alien killer's strength, cunning, and advanced ...

The Battle of Corrin (Legends of Dune, Book 3)

102 reviews
Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

Macmillan Audio, 2004

Fantastic!
Thank you, thank you. I've read all of the Dune books...the prequels and the sequels won't disappoint the Dune fan. They are well-written, thoughtful, fit in well with the original stories (how Herbert and Andersen pulled that off I'll never know). I'll never forget the day I heard Frank Herbert died...even though I didn't know him, I was truly saddened -- for selfish reasons: I thought there ...

Includes a complete gallery of the Iron Man armors, and all-new schematics of key armors ...

Hunters of Dune

164 reviews
Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

Macmillan Audio, 2006

An unexpected surprise
I suffered through the six prequels, each time wondering why in the world I keep subjecting myself to such utter crap. I guess I was thinking even badly written Dune is better than no Dune. I had vowed never to throw more of my hard earned money at these two clowns after Battle of Corrin. But, alas, I saw Hunters in the used books bin at the local library for 50 cents, and in a moment of ...
