Plenty of action and strategy in the Game and out

Welcome back to Dream Park - Niven and Barnes' not-so-futuristic getaway resort, where a combination of animatronics, live actors, holograms, and computer-aided design allows well-heeled patrons to participate in the fantasy adventure of a ...

Good Star Wars Novel
This novel works excellent in the on-going stories of Anakin. I really liked the way the author delved into Anakin's pshyche. A must read for a true Star Wars Fan!

SF adventure at its' best.
Why Hollywood has not made a movie from this book is a mystery to me. It has a creature that would eat the "Alien" for a snack and come back for the "Predator" as the main course. Adrenalin-pumping, fast-paced thriller set on an Earth-like planet being colonized by humans. Everything goes well, until they tangle with the 'Grendel', than all hell breaks loose. One of those stories that can be read ...

Excellent psychological science
Psychologists who think behaviorism has little or nothing to offer to a scientific account of cognition and emotion should read this book. Through coherent, conceptually pure theory and consistent empirical research, Hayes and colleagues have developed an account of these pivotal topics that may bring behaviorism back onto the main stage in psychology. Relational Frame Theory (RFT) makes a small ...

Practical and Useful Toddler Parenting Book
I decided to try this method because I had used the Boys Town Common Sense teaching method as a school project. I really liked its "non-bully" approach to dealing with students who were misbehaving. I particularly liked the preventative approaches that reduced the amount of misbehavior in general. Now that I have a toddler, I really wanted to use the same type of approach and had struggled ...

An Exciting Mix of Genres
Dream Park is a smart mix of near future science fiction, roleplaying gaming adventure, and mystery (with a touch of history tossed in as the basis for the gaming adventure). For roleplaying game enthusiasts, it presents a future for gaming that is quite appealing, yet quite familiar--with rivalries, meta-gaming, gamemaster/player tension, and in-character versus out-of-character comments and ...

fat ripper special
I found this book very exciting. Although I resd it before the other books in the series. I find that this book centered on the game which was a fat ripper special. That means that the game was to lose weight. To make it stick way past when the game was over they used Induit ways of regarding food. This stuck with me so much that I still remember this book and it's been a good five years since I ...

Excitement & Suspense Rule
Ten is back, and his return is even better than his very good debut in Casanegra. This time around Ten is investigating the death of an O.J. Simpson type, who before his untimely demise, may have offed his ex and her fiancee. Juicy. Juicy. Anyway, Ten's dad, a wheel-chair bound, stroke-impaired ex-cop, rolls in to help his son.

Masterly. Horrible.
Since the fifties psychology books have said extroversion is related to sadism. Without Freudian necromancy--the more outgoing you are, the more your kindness and cruelty affects people. Self-help books claim to make you more outgoing. Suppose there was a self-help technique that worked? In 'Charisma', Steven Barnes -lifelong follower of Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, Tim Piering; creator of ...

Not much information - A hash
I expected this would be informative regarding extending ACT specifically to the work place. You get more information regarding ACT in other books and get NO additional information in this book. It appears to be more a promotion of ACT than anything of much value to the reader. Many studies are referenced saying how effective ACT is, but there is No new information regarding ACT or how to apply ...

This is the shooting script to the most watched miniseries of 1998. All of the film's wonderful dialogue is included here along with some things that were cut and weren't seen in the miniseries. This edition also includes a short history about the film, a fine introduction, some pictures, and cast & crew notes.

Fantastic story - interesting concepts
This author has done his research. I am amazed at the level of detail borrowing from martial arts, NLP and other disciplines - keeping everything real. This story is hard to put down as well. It's hard to believe the quality that is in this little paperback - but make amazon find you a copy and buy it. If you are at all interested in martial arts, transhumanism, eastern philosphy, or good ...

If there was any question of Steven Barnes ability to write a great novel on his own, those questions are answered by LION'S BLOOD. In this powerful work of speculative fiction, Steven Barnes creates an alternate history where Carthage destroyed Rome, and the New World has been settled by Islam. With Europe still in a tribal state (this book takes place in the mid-1800's) the conquering Islamic ...
