Meisha Merlin will be doing all six titles in George R. R. Martin’sepic series A Song of Ice and Fire.Amazon.com Review
Readers of epic fantasy series are: (1) patient--they are leftin suspense between each volume, (2) persistent--they reread or atleast review the previous book(s) when a new installment comes out,(3) strong--these 700-page doorstoppers are heavy, and (4)mentally agile--they follow a host of characters through a myriad ofsubplots. In A Game of Thrones, the first book of a projectedsix, George R.R. Martin rewards readers with a vividly real world,well-drawn characters, complex but coherent plotting, and beautifullyconstructed prose, which Locus called "well above the norms ofthe genre."

Martin's Seven Kingdoms resemble England during the Wars of the Roses,with the Stark and Lannister families standing in for the Yorks andLancasters.The story of these two families and their struggle tocontrol the Iron Throne dominates the foreground; in the background isa huge, ancient wall marking the northern border, beyond whichbarbarians, ice vampires, and direwolves menace the south asyears-long winter advances.Abroad, a dragon princess lives amonghorse nomads and dreams of fiery reconquest.

There is much bloodshed, cruelty, and death, but A Game ofThrones is nevertheless compelling; it garnered a Nebulanomination and won the 1996 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel. So, onto A Clash ofKings!--Nona Vero ... Read more

Dark Matter
I finished reading this book several weeks ago but thought I would let some time go by before writing about it.Perhaps that was a mistake in that already I can no longer recall a lot of details with which to defend my rating.But perhaps also the fact that I was not sufficiently motivated to write about it right away or can remember overmuch speaks to the book's limitations.

Mr. Martin writes well in that, particularly at the outset, I was strongly motivated to read on.The world he creates is palpable, even "atmospheric," and the characters have enough complexity that they seem real, at least at first.But as I read on, a kind of gloom settled over me.There is so little to like here!There is so much gratuitous cruelty!The characters are entirely absorbed by the diminished content of their own thoughts, world-views, or appetites!Divinity could be moving in their very midst and they would never perceive it!

If I live another 20 years or so, I will beat the actuaries.With so little time and so much possible enjoyment to be had from a good book, I find no movitation to read anything further in this series despite Mr. Martin's talent for writing.

this will stick with you
I'm going to review the series instead of the book, because it's likely that if you read the first book, you'll continue.This story is like no other.It could be read for its richness of characterization, where you will come to know and love dozens of men, women, and children - high born and low, royal and peasant.It could be read for its clarity of vision - several thousand pages of full-tilt action, with relatively few slow bits.It could be read for its insight and universal themes - there are enough quotable moments and slices of wisdom to make the story memorable and personal to any reader.In the end, it should be read because it's a damn fine ripping yarn, the likes of which you're not likely to best during your personal reading lifetime.

There are faults to this series.It is bloody violent.Prepare yourself for chopping and slicing and burning and stabbing, mostly of human flesh.Primary characters die, and they die slowly and with great narrative detail.You will cry.Also, as of book 4 where most of us are stuck (because book 5 hasn't been published in a decade of waiting), absolutely nothing is resolved and very few of the secrets have been revealed.Also treatment of women seems to be worse than it should be, even given the time and place of the setting.It would seem the author takes perverse joy in human, especially female human, suffering.

Yet I recommend this wholeheartedly and without reservation to all fans of the fantasy genre.This is the series that will satisfy you, where no pale Tolkien-imitators could.There's just the right combination of court life, magic, war, quest, wit, romance, comedy, and dragons.You will read it, then share it with your spouse.Then you'll have a bevy of household phrases, all borrowed from this book, to last you a lifetime of geeky reference.Give it 100 pages and it'll swipe 6 months of your life.

excellent book, HORRIBLY digitized for Kindle
Ill tell you &his is how this Kimdle book reads.

Apparently, scanned in a hurry and then no editing.Shockingly bad, the worst I have ever seen.

Great book, but you may want a paper copy.

You're cheating yourself if you don't pick this up
I've read a number of different fantasy series.Many borrow heavily from each other and only insert a small degree of distinguishing characteristics in their narratives.When a friend of mine urged me to read A Game of Thrones by Martin, I brushed him off at first.After continued pestering, I relented and picked up a paperback copy.

And I'm glad I did.Martin is a master of narrative, character development and suspense.Once you actually start to want to learn more about any character or event, he has you hooked.His simple language and excellent pacing allow you to fly through books that are +600 pages long.The only downside I can recognize is that there are a lot of names to keep track of.This is largely remedied by Martin's excellent index of important families and their followers at the back of each book.The detailed map also helps the reader keep track of the story's progression and the decisions of the protagonists.

Forget the book is about fantasy.If you want a deep, mature story with rich detail and intricate plot development, you owe it to yourself to give A Game of Thrones a try.You won't be sorry.

Reads like a lawn mower manual
BEcause of the praise for this book, I struggled through. Halfway, I realized it wasn't worth it. The characters have little depth. The personalities are non-existent leaving the reader unable to tell them apart. Everything is handed to the reader leaving nothing to the imagination. It could be a stage play except it is as interesting as the stage directions. ... Read more

Incredible Narration by a brilliant radio actor
Okay, Okay.It's Indiana Jones. You know what you're going to get.It's good, non-stop action.

But what makes this set is the narration. For the 2 cassette, 3 hour adventure Dove Audio hired William Conrad to do the reading.

Few are more qualified, for it was Conrad who gave voice to the CBS Radio program, ESCAPE, in the 1950's.It was he who told the terror-filled tale of three men in a lighthouse (3 Skeleton Key) that was literally being devoured by a seething, snarling mass of rats bigger than a football field and thicker than the schooner from which they swarmed.

It was the late Mr. Conrad who gave booming voice to the fabled Marshall Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke.The program was heard on CBS radio long before it went to TV.Conrad's take on Dillon makes the Marshall much more human than the cardboard figure he was on television.When the show went to TV, Conrad wanted to go with it....but they did not want a FAT MATT.I guess Mr. Conrad got the last laugh years later when he did his Jake and the Fat Man show on the tube.He also had the highly rated Cannon show.
Conrad's voice was golden and will be missed.
among radio people his stock was on the highest shelf, a niche reserved for him and a select few others.Orson Welles comes to mind.and that's about it.
Five stars of five...

Super Reader
Indy has a father that is still alive, and he is the block for the old chip, so to speak. He does wear hats that haven't been beaten to hell, however. With his dad, Jones must first uncover and make sure that the Holy Grail does not fall into the wrong hands. To do that, though, a whole lot of surviving and dealing with devious females and relatives must be done.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
ISBN 034536161X - Back to books related to WWII and religious artifacts. As a group, these books are interesting if only for the complete effect - from Ludlum's The Gemini Contenders to The DaVinci Code to Indiana Jones, the differences and similarities in the tales are fascinating.

Indy begins the book by closing out his nearly lifelong chase after the Cross of Coronado. Ready for a return to the academic life, he returns late for the school year, only to find that his father is missing. Henry Jones has his own lifelong chase nearing an end - he appears to be within sight of the Grail Cup, and there are several groups of people who will do anything to beat him to it. Nazis, Henry's assistant Elsa, and a secret Brotherhood all have their eyes on the same prize, for their own reasons. Who will reach it first isn't nearly as important as who will be allowed to claim it.

As adventure books on the subject go, The Last Crusade is an odd mix of lightheartedness and murder, which detracts from the excitement of the story in the book but played well in the movie. Overall, though, it's a nice adaptation of the screenplay by Jeffrey Boam.

Henry Jone's Last Crusade
The novelization of the third Indiana Jones series film starring Harrison Ford and Sean Connery is as exciting as the movie itself. What makes this story interesting is the presence of Henry Jones, the bookworm father of Indiana Jones, who is a well-known archaeologist. Last Crusade returns a bit to the first one portraying Indy as a professor. Just as the first of the series Nazi was the archenemy of the Jones' party and the treasure they are after is again biblical. Logic and illogic coexist. But that's okay. Indiana Jones came from the comic hero long long time back.
If you love the movie, I am sure you will enjoy the book too including some of the parts movie left out. It is really like playing PC roll playing game while I am reading this book.

Recommended for Indiana Jones series fans.

Wonderful...!
I just love Indiana Jones adventures. This one's a must have for everyone ... Read more

It is a good textbook.
It was a fine textbook.My mother has used it to learn on her own about criminology, and she is also very pleased with it.

criminology
This is a good book for those who are studying criminology since it introduced a lot of theories explaining crime and criminals. The author, George Vold, was such a well-learnt criminologist. It is worth of keeping his book in our bookshelf.

Can I get the item, then review?
It is kind of hard to rate something that you haven't gotten yet. I needed this book for a class that started 3 weeks ago. When I emailed him, he says "oops I must have overlooked your order. I will put it out tomorrow first thing". Still waiting...

Theoretical Criminology
This book is a "must have" for those interested in criminology or the history of criminology as well as how criminal research impacts social policy, laws, and programs

best theory text book
This is hands down the best crim theory text book available. It's designed for undergrads, but it provides a brief, thorough, and direct synopsis of all the most important theories a grad student might study for comprehensive exams, so it's a great way to review and to make sure you're covering all your bases. The only reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because this edition is already 7 years old. A ton of research has come out in the last few years, and I think theoretical topography has changed quite a bit, especially with self control theory, developmental and life course perspectives, and recent work on communities and crime dominating the field. A must-have for any criminology grad student. ... Read more

Product Description

Through its integrated approach to quantitative research methods, this text teaches readers how to plan, conduct, and write a research project and select and interpret data so they can become better consumers of research.  This is not a statistics book—there are very few formulas.  Rather, this book helps students master which statistic to use when and how to interpret the results.  Organized around the steps one takes in conducting a research project, this book is ideal for applied programs and for those who want to analyze and evaluate research articles. Having taught in a variety of departments, the authors have a good grasp of the research problems faced by master’s and doctoral students in diverse areas of the behavioral and social sciences.

Text adopters applaud the book’s clarity. Students are often confused by other texts’ use of inconsistent terminology. To avoid this confusion, the authors present a semantically consistent picture that emphasizes five research approaches-- randomized experimental, quasi-experimental, comparative, associational, and descriptive.  The authors then show how these approaches lead to three kinds of research designs which, in turn, lead to three groups of statistics with the same names.  This consistent framework increases comprehension and the ability to apply the material.  Numerous applied problems, annotated examples, and diagrams and tables further promote comprehension. Although the book emphasizes quantitative research, the value of qualitative research is introduced.

This extensively revised edition features more than 50% new material including:

• A new chapter on the evidence-based approach that emphasizes the importance of reporting confidence intervals and effect sizes and the increased use of meta-analysis.
• An increased emphasis on evaluating research including an 8 step plan for evaluating research validity (Chs. 23 & 24) and its application to the 5 sample studies used throughout the book (Ch. 25).
• Lots of practical advice on planning a research project (Ch. 2), data collection and coding (Ch. 15), writing the research report (Ch. 27), questions to use in evaluating a research article (Appendix E) and creating APA tables and figures (Appendix F).
• A new chapter on non-experimental approaches/designs (Ch. 7) including qualitative research.
• Web resources for students including critical thinking problems with answers and a sample outline of a research proposal.
• An earlier and expanded introduction to measurement reliability and validity to further emphasize their differences and importance.
• An extensively revised chapter on measurement validity consistent with the latest APA/AERA/NCME standards.
• Fewer chapters on inferential statistics with an increased focus on how their selection is related to the design of the study and how to interpret the results using significance testing and effect sizes and confidence intervals.
• Instructor’s Resources with Power Points, test questions, answers to the application questions, and more.

Intended for graduate research or quantitative/experimental methods/design courses in psychology, education, human development and family studies, and other behavioral, social, business, and health sciences, independent sections and chapters can be read in many orders allowing for flexibility in assigning topics. Due to its practical approach, this book also appeals to researchers and clinicians. Prior exposure to statistics and research methods is recommended.

Excellent explanations of research terms
This book is the required text for a course I am taking in a DBA program.I have taken quite a few courses in research and read many books, but this is the best book I have ever used for research.The book is actually enjoyable to read.I will rely on this book for as long as I am in the program and throughout my dissertation research.

Interpretation of statistics at its best
This text is an top notch tool for understanding both research design and data analysis. The authors take an excellent approach to helping one understand the research process. As a professor of research design, I use this text in my classroom and recommend it wholeheatedly to anyone teaching research design or trying to learn it on their own. The text is well organized and the concepts are clearly developed. ... Read more

Product Description
This volume of 12 essays fills a broad gap in modernist art history. Taken together, these case studies on artists and concepts present Dada as a coherent movement with a set of operating principles. Among the " tactics" elaborated are the hyperbolic mimicry of dominant social and linguistic conventions, the performance of gender and other aspects of identity, the usurpation of the modes of a new media culture and marketplace, and the recycling of history and memory as blasted in a world traumatized by war.The Dada Seminars developed out of a series of seminars held by the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art, in advance of a major traveling exhibition of international Dada that will open in 2005. Contributors include George Baker, T.J. Demos, Leah Dickerman, Uwe Fleckner, Hal Foster, Amelia Jones, David Joselit, Marcella Lista, Helen Molesworth, Arnauld Pierre, Jeffrey T.
