Breathtaking
Real men throw kegs. Real women sleep with real men. I love Scotland and all the hairy drunk bastards that call it home.

A disgrace to my culture
How dare any woman to write a book on a man's sport. I wonder if Mrs. Donaldson knows that women are peed upon in Scotland.

This book really opened up my heart
Before I read this insightful study into the athletic world of drunken Scots, I must say that I wanted to never visit Scotland. Now that I read the book i want to go there and pee on their culture. They throw keg up inthe air. Wow how cool is that. They throw cabers, but can they win a war? ... Read more

Complete Waste
This book is barebones and just contains lists and lists of games and prices. Weighing in with 149 pages, the book is a complete - with its 19.95 price (it would have been a complete waste at $1.95 but that's besides the point).

However, if you're looking for bargains, then go no further than this price guide. Where else are you going to find Magicard for $40? Or Malagai for $30? Or Mangia for $14? My person favorite is Air-Raid, which The Official Guide has for $1000-$3000. In the 2004 Video Game Price Guide, it's a mere $30! It would be nice if the author of this book backed-up his prices by selling these games at these ridiculous prices. All I could say is if you want a laugh on par with that of Midnight Tiger, then buy this book. Everyone else stay away!

Disappointing
This book is not worth $20.Poor editing, incomplete lists, and odd prices don't do a good job of hiding the fact that this book is really just a bunch of list collected off of the internet.

Don't bother with it.The Digital Press book is far and away superior and doesn't cost much more. ... Read more

Book Description
Managing Animals in New Guinea combines expert academic knowledge with years of first-hand observation of New Guinea societies, seeks to explain the often perplexing values that underlie Wola relations with animals in the light of sustainability issues and social politics.Looking at linguistic, political, fiscal and gender behavior, it considers how Wola hunting and farming methods make sense within the framework of an exchange-based society, where politics are transactional and dependent on compliance with an egalitarian social structure.At the same time, it challenges the ecological assumption that tropical forest resources can support human populations, putting the relative notion of hunter-gatherer affluence into an intriguing comparative context. ...
