Trevor Rowe's experiences as a house/pet-sitter - a relaxed (sometimes!) third career after long and rewarding years in the RAF and subsequent business adventures that I suspect drew heavily on those heady days - make marvellous light reading. This is the book for the short-haul airline traveller. It is one for the busy soul who can only afford perhaps an hour at a time - a book that can be picked up and put down without spoiling its pleasure. It is not a `page-turner', nor a saga the reader sinks into and can't bear to put down. It needs to be savoured - perhaps revisited from time to time. It is definitely one for that bookshelf of favourites.
The author has that light touch of the gifted raconteur, a style that is conversational and spiced with often mischievous humour. His stories are alive with the good clean fun that dog-lovers especially will appreciate. They will smile, laugh aloud and - yes - weep the odd tear as they recognise the antics of their own much-loved animals and the joys and sadnesses of being a pet owner. Some of the tales are hilarious, some slightly scary, while some of the yarns thrown in to add a little spice are definitely hoary with age, but nevertheless still good for a laugh on this trip down memory lane.
At times, Trevor's descriptions of his temporary surroundings border on the lyrical, tempting readers to go and see for themselves the gentle beauty of the Ashdown Forest and Downs of Western Kent, the magnificent scenery of the Yorkshire Dales and - if that weren't enough - the glories of sunsets in the Florida everglades.
This is a book to relish and enjoy. It is a delightful read and I heartily recommend it.

Attractively bound and well organized, this book provides an excellent treatise on bridge for beginners and will help intermediate players deepen their understanding of the game. Mr. Wokes obviously has a rich understanding of the principles advanced bridge, and communicates these succintly and with a teacher's deft clarity. This would be an excellent textbook for a bridge class.

I purchased this book for my mother, who at 77, is just getting familiar with a computer. This book guides the beginner through each step of AOL, making heavy use of screen pictures (two on every page!), with brief explanations for each action at each step.

You are guided, step-by-step through the basic facets of AOL, including AOL usage & navigation basics, management of the account, basic internet usage, communicating with AOL (Email, chat, instant messager), and personalizing AOL. It does not go into detail on the content associated with the various "Channels" - but I feel that is for the user to explore.

This book is excellent for the raw beginner. The screen examples point out which buttons to push and the results of those actions. It will save me several hours setting down and guiding my mother in the use of AOL.

This book is fantastic. When I first got AOL I had so many questions about e-mail and such and this answered all of them. It's in simple language too so that even I, a 12 year old can read it.

easy and fun to understand digital imaging stuff!

This book was very useful in my clinical practice. It does a tremendous job covering drug information as well as methods for educating physicians about therapeutic information. I would strongly recommend this book for any clinican dealing with complex drug therapy literature.

Architect's Guide to QuickBooks Pro is very helpful and easy to follow. I was referred to it by the AIA and it has been one of the best investments that I have made all year long.

This is a simple yet, very veRY VERY usefull guide.

AC3 is a tough game where only the big ones stand up above the rest of AC`s. You can accomplish this by dedicating long and numerous hours: customizing, improving and testing your AC, buying new parts, etc. This is the only way to win (not that it`s unpleasant, AC fans love it!.) But if you want to open up new missions and acquire new parts or simply beating the game with less time, then you`ve got to get this guide!

First of all, the guide begins with a warm introduction, followed by all the general and basic aspects of AC3. It explains quickly yet deeply how to maneuver an AC, all the parameters displayed at the gameplay screen, etc.

After this, is where half of the guide is dedicated for: The 50 missions. It explains when they appear, what to do to make them appear (in case of a secret one), the best way to beat them and much more, all of this for each single mission. Sometimes, the guide briefs too quick the mission, but it shows the essential. Also, the guide recommends a "Required Raven Rank", showing us how difficult the mission will be (it also happens with the "Succes Rate".)

After this huge section, you come across the "Inventory". This explains what kind of mech you have to build for XYZ kind of mission (the guide even give us two mechs built already: one light weight and one heavy weight), shows optional parts, several comparison tables for every AC part, (I really like this section because for example I can give myself an idea of what AC part I`ll change later and such.)

In the decoration department, it doesn`t outstand a lot. You`ll see lots of repetitive pictures throughout the entire guide, especially those taken from a popular CG movie within the game. Overall, it has an orange darkish metallic look and makes you feel like your in the right place. Something that left me like:"What happened?" was that all the way from the "Inventory" to the end of the guide was black and white! It has no colors! Weird? Yeah. Does it make it cheaper for Prima to produce this guide? Another Yeah. Or at least, that`s the way I see it best. But it`s not a Major drawback. Other interesting and honorable extra sections are multiplayer tips, all secrets, all of the arena opponents revealed and a large table with the definitions of all the parts legends.

Last but not the least, I haven`t seen any of those irritating orthographic or photographic mistakes in the guide. They are so common and sooooo irritating, I must say.

Overall, with this guide you won`t have much trouble seeing everything the game has to offer and that`s a lot of funny, interesting, entertaining and super-action-and-adrenaline-packed levels, bosses and missions with lots of replay value, superb graphics and intense music.

have you ever been stuck not known were to go than you need this book it helped me out alot and if you own this game you need this book and great deal to.

If you're a fan of the Army Men games by 3DO, and you've purchased the game, (or buying this game as a gift) you'll definitely need this strategy guide! The missions are detailed extremely well, with very helpful suggestions and strategies to beat all the missions (especially mission 8! )

I played through the game, and when I got up to Mission 8, I would have been very frustrated without the strategy guide's recommendations. Army Men Air Combat for the N64 is a very challenging game!

I think one of the best things about this game is that you can play the same 1-player campaigns in two-player co-operative mode. So while I was busy trying to solve the mission objectives, my kid brother was having a blast blowing up stuff with his helicopter! This is a very good multi-player game!

On top of that, there are several 4-player multiplayer modes! I would have thought that playing a 4-player multiplayer game with helicopters would be lame, but it turned out to be quite fun! (The strategy guide was also very helpful in giving strategies on this mode!)

I would definitely recommend picking up this strategy guide if you've bought the game!
