Book Description
Hudson River School paintings are among America's most admired and well-loved artworks. Such artists as Thomas Cole, Frederic Church, and Albert Bierstadt left a powerful legacy to American art, embodying in their epic works the reverence for nature and the national idealism that prevailed during the middle of the nineteenth century. This book features fifty-seven major Hudson River School paintings from the collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, recognized as the most extensive and finest in the world. Gorgeously and amply illustrated, the book includes paintings by all the major figures of the Hudson River School. Each work is beautifully reproduced in full color and is accompanied by a concise description of its significance and historical background. The book also includes artists' biographies and a brief introduction to American nineteenth-century landscape painting and the Wadsworth Atheneum's unique role in collecting Hudson River pictures.

Book Description
Discover the inspiration and motivation of the gifted few.
The intellectual power of the high-tech industry is awesome - but so are the egos. To keep people working together productively requires an individual style of management, and at the top of these companies are a new breed of executives. Their attitudes to work create fluid cultures where nothing is sacred and everything is open to challenge.
The Digerati Glitterati are a select group of the most admired leaders in this remarkable world. Several have founded great companies, while others have transformed existing organisations into world leaders or blazed entrepreneurial trails for others to follow. Some are just beginning to leave their dynamic individual mark. All have a story to tell and priceless advice to offer.
The Digerati Glitterati are:
Hermann Hauser, Acorn
Andrew Rickman, Bookham Technology
Malcolm Miller, Pace Micro Technology
Robin Saxby, ARM
Gordon Moore, Intel
Ulrich Schumacher, Infineon
Jorma Ollila, Nokia
Sir Clive Sinclair, Sinclair Research
Pasquale Pistorio, ST Microelectronics
Dick Skipworth, Memec
David Potter, Psion
Hans Snook, Orange
Now, the Digerati Glitterati reveal the inside secrets of what it takes to build great companies. In candid interviews they explain how, why and when they got started, how they conceived the idea for their businesses and sold it to others, what motivated them, what kept them going in adversity and how they overcame their biggest challenges.When they speak, smart people listen.

Book Description
Everyone's heard the stories: An aunt's husband dies and the vultures sweep in. She ends up paying $10,000 for a coffin, even more to a lawyer and then loses the rest of her money in shady investments.
The financial services sector has become a do-it-yourself marketplace—and the point where that hits people hardest is in dealing with worldly matters after a loved one dies.
Thornton brings more than a decade of experience in human resources and financial education to an extremely emotional issue. And she gives vulnerable people easy-to-use tools for avoiding…or dealing with…crooks and crooked business.

With focus on checklists and tools.......2004-05-03
What do you need to know or do when someone close to you dies? The Survivor's Guide covers the many issues and concerns which suddenly arise in such cases, from questions about funerals, burials and handling fees to watching out for swindlers and setting the estate. Its focus on checklists and tools at a time when loss has just occurred makes for an important, essential guide packed with information. Highly recommended.
Monetary realities arising from a death in the family.......2004-04-06
The Survivor's Guide: What You Need To Know & What You Need To Do When Someone Close To You Dies by journalist and consumer advocate V. K. Thornton is a practical manual to coping with the difficult decisions that face people dealing with the end of a loved one's life. Emphasizing the point of "don't rush - you have more time to act than you think," The Survivor's Guide teaches the reader how not to be taken advantage of at a time when strong emotion can blind one to funeral business overcharging. From the hours after learning of a death in the family, to disposing of the body, planning a memorial service, dealing with the estate left behind and more, The Survivor's Guide is a very highly recommended guide especially focusing upon monetary realities arising from a death in the family.
The Survivor's Guide: Is really helpful.......2004-03-28
My Dad passed away suddenly and I was not sure what to do first. My friend recommended this book and it was great. It really told me what to do and what to think about each step along the way. It told me things to watch out for for from funeral directors and the writer was right! His advice about settling the estate was also useful. Everyone needs to read this book!
Incredibly helpful and informative.......2004-02-21
Wow -- what a great handbook to help in difficult times. Nobody wants to think about the subject, but at some point we all have to face planning a funeral for a loved one. It's well-written and informative. I highly recommend it.
Well written and very informative.......2004-02-06
V.K. Thornton made a difficult subject easy to read about. Excellent book to have as your parents get older and as life goes on. A good book.

Sturdy Cover
Sturdy photo-like pages
Great stratagey

Cons:
None unless you dont like guides
Review:
This guide was made in Bungie Studios itself. It is very complete and, if you are having trouble with Halo 2 it will help you. There are 57 pages of basics, a near perfect walkthrough,beautiful screenshots, great multiplayer guide, oh need i go on? I would definitly buy this guide if i were you. It is better than Prima or even Nintendo Power. If you have Xbox live plai
y it online. My gamertag is Bug 23.
Unmatchable.......2006-04-29
This is a work of art in itself. The pages show beautiful maps and killer strategies that cannot be challenged. This amazing book shows all weapons, enemies, vehicles and even secret areas. It has
unbeatable multiplayer strategies and shows all there is to Halo 2 on Xbox Live. Buy the superbly spectacular guide to the best game ever right now!
This is a great guide.......2005-06-15
Let me start off addressing some things. Some people don't find a need for this guide, and that's fine, but that doesn't mean others won't need it. Secondly, those who keep saying "Go online, go online, go online," seem to have forgotten two things. One: There are people who want the information in their lap and don't have a computer right next to their gaming system. The second is simple, some people are more visual learners. They learn the game by using maps and screenshots. For some, text just doesn't cut it. Using online guides is fine, but remember when you review a strategy guide you should actually be REVIEWING THE GUIDE, not blabbering whether or not one should use an online guide (if they wanted an online guide, do you think they'd waste time coming to Amazon to buy it?).
Anyway, with that out of my system, let's move on. Piggyback Interactive, for those who don't know, is a guide company in the UK. The moment you pick up one of their guides you'll be blown away! If you thought VERSUS BOOKS was good (before they went out of business) allow Piggyback to correct you.
The guide begins with over 50 pages of game basics. This means getting you to learn the controls, weapons, vehicles and enemies before actually diving into the walkthrough. For newcomers to Halo 2, this is a lifesaver.
The walkthrough is pretty detailed as well. They actually tell you a couple of differences between difficulty levels. You really have to utilize the maps though (which are vastly detailed beyond anything Prima, Brady, Versus, or even Nintendo Power put out). It's a guide that is written in the sense of, find the corresponding number in the text. In other words, if a "1" is marked on the map, find section "1" in the text.
The secrets also tell you all you need to know, and should there be a spoiler, they alert you before moving on.
Of course, even this guide has it's problems. For one, the maps are ridiculously cluttered, and there are too many symbols to remember. It's a good thing they have a fold out legend. Second, while the secrets are in-depth they didn't pin-point out easter eggs. And lastly (and this isn't a big one) there is just too much artwork taking up space where valuble text could've been. I don't say this to be funny, I say this because this guide weighs a ton with it's thick paper and all.
A fantastic guide though. If you can, log on and import piggyback interactive guides. If you need a guide for Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy X (or better yet, get their FFIX guide, NO PLAYONLINE THERE!), Metal Gear Solid 3 and the like, get Piggyback. You won't be disappointed.
No reason to buy this!!.......2005-06-05
Halo 2 is a very easy game and this guide will not tell you ANYTHING you won't find in about 3 minutes.
It has its uses.......2005-03-15
The Halo 2 campaign mode is simple enough that most players won't need a guide to negotiate it. The campaign is pretty straightforward in design; unlike some games (such as GTA), detailed level maps aren't really needed. However, the guide offers many extras that make it a worthwhile purchase.
For one, the detailed maps of the campaign mode offer weapon and vehicle locations and enemy weaknesses, useful when one's plasma rifle or SMG is running low on ammo and a pair of Hunters are closing fast. The detailed information on weapons allows newbies to acquaint themselves with Halo 2's large array of available armament and vehicles. Veterans of the original game will quickly become familiar with the new weapons of Halo 2. (Of course, there's something to be said for learning as you go). The guide also offers detailed information on the various creatures of the Covenant, adding to the ongoing story of Halo. A note of caution, however: If you don't want to spoil the ending, don't read the last chapter of the campaign mode. (I made that mistake...it was still cool, though).
The best reason to get the guide, however, is for the multiplayer maps, which include weapon and vehicle locations, strategic points for ambushes and sniping, detailed maps, and tips on setting up games and clans. Charging blindly into Halo 2's XBox Live levels can be suicidal; most of my friends who play on Live credit the strategy guide for giving them a heads-up on where to find what they need. So the guide does have its uses beyond the usual campaign walkthrough. Especially recommended to those who are new to the Halo universe.
I hope this review was helpful

A fascinating visual trip through the Fifth Dimension........2005-01-18
Long, long out of print, Arlen Schumer's (best known for doing the cover art for Zicree's TZ Companion) fascinating photomontage book is one of the more interesting trip through Serling's Twilight Zone. Screencaps (done using an old 525 line tv for added effect) and dialogue snippets create an intresting mellange. Also included is the complete version of the famed "Eye of the Beholder" show in stills and an essay from the Village Voice. Essential for any fan of the show.
Like everything twilight zone--It's great.......2002-08-20
This book was a real treat. It is the best book about the Twilight Zone I have read thus far. (I've read quite a few.) Reading the script to EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, one of my favorite eps, was a nice experience. Buy this book! I highly recomend it.
Good For a TZ Fan's Coffee Table.......2000-06-28
This is a highly interesting book, which also includes the script to the episode "Eye of the Beholder". Stills from the original TZ are included and captions include lines from the episodes. However, the stills are of very poor quality and this works against the tolerance of the reader. It was published in 1990, five or so years before computer screen-capture devices were developed, and before the internet emerged. A creative little book, but 10 years ex post facto, it's no more than mildly interesting. If you're a TZ fan, buy a used copy and put it on your coffee table, like I did.
The Theory Of The Twilight Zone.......1999-02-22
I purchased the book off of yahoo.com the book is great and should be amazon.com The author is very imaginative and it seems like the book itself comes alive while your reading it,The book is like no other book I've ever read.It has alot of action and it seems like it was written by a ghost. I highly recommmend this book to readers,because I think the author is a man who has been through alot of hell,the book is written by Rod E.
