This artbook treasure contains both color and b&w line artwork from the classic Gainax anime GUNBUSTER! The character designs are lush and beautifully created by Haruhiko Mikimoto. This out of print book collects the cel artwork, character designs line art, mecha designs line art, and other promotional materials!

This artbook is a must for all true Gunbuster and Haruhiko Mikimoto fans. Consider hunting down this artbook at anime and comic book conventions. Also if you absolutely need it look for it also on evilbay since it does appear from time to time, but be prepared to spend up to $100 since this has long since sold out and is out of print.

This is a Great Book, written by the REAL Ronald McDonald from the family that started McDonalds. I found it funny, entertaining and very informative. The reciepes will astound you and I am not a good cook. The History part was very interesting. Mr. McDonald is truly the Worlds Expert on Hamburgers and it shows in his book.

it's a beautiful book full of informations and I'll use it for years to come

This book is reviewed by several leading experts in the field of composites manufacturing. Experts are from various companies and leading universities such as M.I.T. Top four reviews are as printed in the back cover of the book.
"A comprehensive guide to composites that encompasses aspects for design, manufacture, tooling, and cost considerations of this complex field for aerospace and commercial applications. This book is an excellent source of information for all disciplines, bringing together both introductory and advanced resources in one publication."
By Gerald E. Sutton, Vice President-RTM, ATP, Inc., Intellitec Division, DeLand, Florida, USA

" · Provides a broad overview of the topics of composites manufacturing
· Pulls together key references and provides guidelines to help navigate through this complex field
· Covers many topics not often covered elsewhere, such as production planning, cost, and recycling"
By Timothy Gutowski, Professor
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA

"This book is suitable for a broad range of users. It focuses on the fundamental processes an engineer or program manager must address when planning to employ advanced composites into his or her project. The book encompasses the latest technology and design issues as composite design science matures."
By John Marks, Vice President and General Manager,
COI Materials Inc., San Diego, California, USA

"This is a good, basic introduction to the field of composites manufacturing and product development. The cost estimating and production planning chapters are very comprehensive. It contains many references to sources of more detailed information.
By Dr. John O. Taylor, Vice President, Engineering and R&D
Goodrich Corporation, Glacier Garlock Bearings Division, Thorofare, New Jersey, USA

"The book covers the whole spectrum of topics from the Applications of Composite Materials, Raw Materials, Materials Selection for Manufacturing, Product Development, Design for Manufacturing, Manufacturing Techniques, Process Models, Production Planning and Manufacturing Instructions, Joining, Machining and Cutting, Cost Estimation and Recycling. Therefore in one volume one can find all aspects related to the Manufacturing of Composites. This book therefore will be useful as an introduction to different aspects of Composites Manufacturing. The chapter on Materials Selection Guidelines provide interesting concept for the Selection of Materials. The chapter on Cost estimation also provides useful guidelines for the manufacturer. This book is highly recommended for the people that consider doing Manufacturing using Composites."
By Prof. S.V. Hoa, Director of Concordia Center for Composites at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada.

I love this book! I just started using it this week with my study skills class and it is wonderful! My junior high students did not have a clue about inferences and this book has easy to follow mini-lessons that are truly planned out for you. There is little preparation involved and the lessons are valuable. If you want your students to stop asking you "where is the answer to ....", or telling you they can't find the answer (because it is not on the lowest level of Bloom's taxonomy) this is the book to start with!

If you own Bridge Baron software, you'll find this a good addition to your library, and even if you don't own that software, it's still a worthwhile read. The book has 28 bridge hands (which may not seem like much, but the analysis is extensive) that are played by humans (often experts) and then played by Bridge Baron.

Bridge columns in newspapers and bridge problems in most books usually have a point to make and illustrate. The hands in newspapers cannot be ones that require extensive analysis--there isn't space. Most problems in books devote a page or two to the lesson at hand. In Computer's Twist, the problem hands are more real-life--many require a discovery process that requires you to keep options open. The hands in the book mostly have 4-7 pages of description. For each hand, you get to see how Bridge Baron does with the same hand. You learn where baron has problems--false-carding can be effective, it may not recognize leads as singletons, and it may be possible for you when playing against the Baron AI to tell when Baron has a singleton, etc.

So if you play against the Baron AI on your computer (as I do) this book will help. It's well-written, provocative, and enjoyable.

This recording isn't part of the MetaMusic series, but the Mind Food series. And it isn't very interesting purely for listening entertainment. But it's great for studying, working (if your work doesn't require much human interaction, anyway), reading, or other activities that permit wearing of headphones, and involve mental focus and directing of attention! It would be perfect for computer programmers (nowadays we call 'em "software engineers"), accounting, or the like. Headphones are strongly recommended, as with all Hemi-Sync products. Available on CD from Hemi-Sync.com.

Great! This is probably the most honest book in product development where the Authors, which are absolutely very well known into the scientific Community all over the world, describe without saving tricks and tips to the reader.
Of course it's not a good night book and require a little knowledge in the concept analysis matter, but this a part I suggest the book to all R&D people and marketers as well.
After this book I have checked for all the other books written by the AA (a lot!!).

Mr. Pankratz's book has become an important component of my reference library. It is easy to use and extremely helpful.

Please send some publication or list of publication which I can get it from any library, as Iam a student of Western Michigan University, and my term paper is about DFMA in concurrent engineering.
