very good.......2006-03-28
recieved on time but i did not get much help from this guide
Nothing You Can't Get On The Net.......2006-01-27
Basically everything in this guide you can get on the Internet and more. Your not told how to get any of the important things you buy this for like How to unlock moves and characters and after an hour of toying with this you finally get up and take it back. I went on the net and got character moves, special arenas, and characters. Do yourself a favor to save cash and just get everything off a cheat and codes website.
a complete waste of money.......2005-02-22
The guide provides a very brief, uninformative overview of the different game modes, an incomplete list of individual character moves, and a compendium of the capsules available that only vaguely points to how they can be obtained.
Many questions that people will have about the game go completely ignored, such as:
- how to specifically unlock various characters, locations, and the dragon arena mode
- how the character stats function and how points added to a stat affect performance
- how to perform certain moves and techniques like fusion
- where to find the dragon balls, money, capsules, and events in Dragon Universe mode
This book should not be considered a "game guide", but rather a limited overview. Save your money and do a search for tips and guides on the internet instead.
Not What I Was Expecting.............2005-02-16
Okay, I was waiting for 2 weeks for this to arrive in the mail.Every day i'd get more and more frustrated because it didn't come, and it was not worth the wait. I bought this from Walmart, and it said it told you where and HOW to get each and every capsule(in those words).That was absolutley wrong , it has a generic explanation on how to collect capsules , but not individualy.It says where to get them , and in wich scenario, but not how, You're better off just looking on the internet.
print guides are dead.......2004-11-18
I'm a big DBZ fan so I got the Prima print guide for Budokai 3 and the iGuide (which is a game guide on dvd) and I think that the iGuide gives you so much more. For the same money you get these really cool, funny videos and all the same info. The Prima guide says that they reveal all 500 capsules...but its just a bunch of screen captures. the prima book has an interview with the associate producer of the game, but the iguide has a video interview with the lead designer of the ENTIRE SERIES and some other cool bonus videos, too.
I dont know why you can't get the iguide on amazon, but trust me, the prima book is a bad deal.

Average historical romance.......2007-02-13
From the back cover:
To help those in need was the highest virtue to the Arapaho soul, and Black Sun ever honored the ways of his people. He could not turn away from a woman in need, pregnant, alone and barely alive. No, not even if the woman was white. He would help Charity Bennett bring her child into the world here in Thunder Canyon, the sacred site where, legend told, springime was born, though it broke tribal taboos and resurrected his nightmare past.
Still, her grit and courage, along with her love for his infant daughter, showed Black Sun that here was a worthy woman--yet one forever out of his reach!
And my review:
I bought this book because I'd really enjoyed another of this author's books, MCKENNA'S PROMISE. And while THE GUARDIAN was an okay book, it did not come close to measuring up.
Elizabeth Lane's sense of history is very good. She gave me a real feel for the time period without ever sounding like a history textbook. However, I felt that the character development was lacking in this book. I could see why the hero would love the heroine (she was such a strong woman), but I had a hard time seeing why she'd fall in love with him. He was a honorable man, for sure, but he had so much hatred inside of him that it started to overwhelm his good aspects after a while. Sure, he was different by the end of the book, but it was a long time in coming.
Since the character development was lacking, I kind of felt that convenience and sex were really the only reasons why the hero and heroine were together. And it did stretch the bounds of believability that a woman could find sex so enjoyable so soon after childbirth (barely a month had passed). Not realistic, but then, it is a romance novel, so maybe that can been forgiven.
Maybe I just expected more of this author, since I'd enjoyed her work so much more in the past. If you want to try Elizabeth Lane, I recommend getting a copy of MCKENNA'S PROMISE. That book was really good. Unfortunately, I can't say the same of THE GUARDIAN. It was just okay, but nothing to rave about. If you can find it at a garage sale or a thrift store, go ahead. Otherwise, save your money.
Enjoyable story.......2006-05-22
The Guardian is an amazing story combining historical romance with folklore.
While traveling west with her minister husband and other missionaries, Charity Bennett finds herself alone and unsure about her husband's decision to go west where so much is uncertain.
Black Sun, an Arapaho doctor on a spirit quest, finds her alone and injured and cares for her, though he cannot wait until he can leave her with other white people.
I was further pulled into the story by the folklore that Black Sun shared with Charity, I felt it was very meaningful to the story and helped make the story more than just historical romance. Elizabeth Lane's imagery of both the prairie lands and the difficulties faced by Charity and Black Sun wrapped into my imagination filling every sense. The Guardian is an enjoyable story for a rainy afternoon.

Book Description
Bioactive Carbohydrate Polymers is probably the first book dealing with the latest in the field of polysaccharides and related products and their biological activities, especially the immunological effects. The different chapters describe the structure and bioactivity of polysaccharides from plants used in traditional medicine in different parts of the world, especially China, Japan and Europe. The focus of the book is on immunologically active plant and seaweed polysaccharides, pharmacological activities of sulphated polysaccharides of animal and seaweed origin, and on possible activities of polysaccharides in our food. Methods for isolation and characterisation of the polymers with chemical and enzymatic methods is covered, as well as discussions on the different biological test-systems and the information they provide. This book will be useful to scientists and postgraduate students working with polysaccharides and their possible uses, and should be of interest for people working in the areas of chemistry, biology, pharmacy and medicine.

Book Description
This book unifies and enhances the accessibility of contemporary scholarly research on advances in coastal modeling. A comprehensive spectrum of innovative models addresses the wide diversity and multifaceted aspects of coastal research on the complex natural processes, dynamics, interactions and responses of the coastal supersystem and its associated subsystems.
The twenty-one chapters, contributed by internationally recognized coastal experts from fourteen countries, provide invaluable insights on the recent advances and present state-of-the-art knowledge on coastal models which are essential for not only illuminating the governing coastal process and various characteristics, but also for understanding and predicting the dynamics at work in the coastal system.
One of the unique strengths of the book is the impressive and encompassing presentation of current functional and operational coastal models for all those concerned with and interested in the modeling of seas, oceans and coasts. In addition to chapters modeling the dynamic natural processes of waves, currents, circulatory flows and sediment transport there are also chapters that focus on the modeling of beaches, shorelines, tidal basins and shore platforms.
The substantial scope of the book is further strengthened with chapters concentrating on the effects of coastal structures on nearshore flows, coastal water quality, coastal pollution, coastal ecological modeling, statistical data modeling, and coupling of coastal models with geographical information systems.

Book Description
This book provides a world-wide perspective of submarine mass movements and their consequences. This has been made possible by assembling excellent contributions from active researchers, groups, or institutions, thus providing full coverage of the many scientific and engineering aspects of this type of marine and coastal geo-hazard. It covers fundamental as well as site specific studies from many areas including the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, inner seas such as the Mediterranean Sea, and fjords using the most recent technologies from multibeam sonar imaging techniques, 3D seismic analysis, slope stability analysis, to debris flow and tsunami modeling.
Audience: This book is of interest to any researcher in the field of marine and coastal geo-hazards. It will be useful for planners, scientists and engineers involved in the development of offshore and near-shore resources and also to those in charge of the management and mitigation of coastal hazards. For graduate students, this book provides an up-to-date vision of the process of submarine mass movements and their consequences from both a scientific and an engineering standpoint, and it includes a unique collection of the existing literature on marine geo-hazards.
This volume contains a DVD-Rom with full colour versions of figures which are printed in black-and-white in the book.

Book Description
This book investigates the impact of noise upon the emergence and sustenance of patterns. "Patterns" loosely refers to coherent spatial structures, including fronts, as well as temporal patterns. The crucial role of nonlinearities is highlighted and expanded upon in the context of dynamical system frameworks. The author's familiarity with chaos theory, statistical physics and nonlinear science is reflected in the highly interdisciplinary character of the text. Model equations and experiments taken from fluid dynamics, semiconductor devices, biophysics and statistical mechanics complement theoretical concepts.
It should be of great value to researchers and graduate students who desire a quick introduction to the subject. Excursions into emerging fields such as traffic flow simulations and game theory serve to broaden the scope and to encourage the exploration of sundry topics.

A stellar ending to the trilogy!.......2007-06-08
The evil sorcerer, Schlechter Zauberer, has managed to steal the Chaos Cup from the current winning team. Unfortunately for the team members, they noticed the sorcerer and tried to stop him; thus the team exists no more. The huge Chaos Cup may be a trophy made from what appears to be skulls, but it is also so much more. By possessing it, Zauberer has unlimited dark magic. And Zauberer has plans of vengeance on Blood Bowl player Dunk Hoffnung (with the Bad Bay Hackers). To ensure no one kills Dunk before he does, Zauberer lets everyone knows that anyone that harms even a hair on Dunk's head will be immediately executed by black lightning. It does not take long to make everyone believe it either!
Captain Pegleg is thrilled by the easy touchdowns. The fans and advertisers are not. Since Pegleg will not allow Dunk to sit out of the games, Dunk does everything he can to make sure no one is stupid enough to get near him. (Because we all know that Pegleg makes sure Dunk has the ball constantly.) But it is all about to come to a head when Zauberer zaps the entire stadium of the final Blood Bowl game to the demonic realm. Dunk and the rest of the Bad Bay Hackers must play not only to win the championship, but also to keep the entire kingdom from the Blood God's grasp.
***** Author Matt Forbeck does an outstanding job bringing all his characters to vivid, breathing, heart beating life. This includes the undead characters! Listening to Bob Bifford (vampire) and Jim Johnson (ogre) narrating all the Blood Bowl games are some of the best sections of the entire trilogy. The sport of Blood Bowl has often been described as "nearly-organized chaos" by its many critics; they are right on target too. Here, in book three, readers learn all about the backgrounds of Dunk and Pegleg. The author throws in some surprising characters as well. Very highly recommended. *****
