Arch Oboler creates a fantastic and terrifying vision of industrial oppression in this outstanding episode of Lights Out. A young woman travels to the island of her ancestors to find that it is a workers nightmare created by her forebeares to breed an endless line of workers who would work endlessly. Even more horrifying they are not producing anything but working mindlessly because of conditioning that their kind has been subjected to for 300 years.

This is an excellent book and very well worth the investment. I highly recommend it.

This is an excellent tool for the Amateur Radio Operator or for the ARRL Official. We need to know the rules to properly operate and this book helps with that. Covers everything you need to know to operate within the law.

If you spend enough time using this guide to review all the questions, the CORRECT answers, you will pass. I used mainly this book for my study. I created some flash cards on some tougher items in the material. I did a lot of on-line practice exams, just search on "amateur extra practice exam" There are many sites. I really did not use the actual Extra ARRL book, even though I did buy one. This Q&A guide can get you a new ticket.

This was a great read for indiviudals looking to be amateur radio operators. I was expecting more nudity. I thought they would illustrate a lot of their theory with porn-like photos. I was wrong. I didn't really see a lot of skin in this book. I still read it, it just wasn't as enjoyable as it could of been. Overall, it's a good technical book, but some nice pics would have made it a great book!

Candid, personal revelations are just two of the things said of the weekly radio and television series 'dialogue', held weekly from the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington D.C. "The Art of Conversation: Dialogue at the Woodrow Wilson Center" is a compilation of twenty four favorite interviews presented in a neat, easy to read text format. The interviews cover various figures such as Robert McNamara, President Chissano, Bill Bradley and many, many more. Highly recommended to American history collections in general and any one who enjoys prime information right from the people themselves.

If you consider yourself a fan of One Piece, you're going to love this book.

As an "artbook," Color Walk 1 fulfills a very important role for the One Piece manga. During the serialization of a black-and-white comic such as this, the author will still typically draw many illustrations in full-color. These may take the form of promotional images used in ads, cover illustrations for the anthology magazine the comic appears in, and even special title- and story pages within the comic. The problem with this practice is that most nonessential art get tossed out in the production of collected volumes, and what's more, Japanese graphic novels (called "tankobon") are generally reprinted completely in black and white, so even the color illustrations that are kept are reduced to a mere grayscale shadow of their former glory. The result is that all too often, the color art for many series is seen only once, then disappears for all time. That's where artbooks like this one come to the rescue.

Color Walk 1 collects all (or very nearly all) the magnificent full-color artwork drawn by Eiichiro Oda during the serialization of the first 81 chapters of One Piece, from August 1997 to April 1999 (or January 2003 to November 2005 in America). That includes full-color title page spreads, promotional illustrations (some never-before-seen in America), cover art for both Weekly Shonen Jump *and* the graphic novels, and even panels from the manga proper. It doesn't end there, though: also included are sketches from the planning stages of the comic, illustrations from Oda's pre-One Piece days, and a fold-out map of the sea known as "East Blue". The cover illustration's an original, too.

Of course, quantity would mean nothing without quality, and Oda delivers in droves: his illustrations are imaginative, well thought-out, playful, and dramatic. Oda likes to use these images to put his characters in all sorts of situations outside of the comic, and these are where his talent really shines. Some of his artwork early on in the series tends a little toward the clichéd pirate stereotype, but luckily, this makes up only a small part of the whole. And, if all the artwork isn't enough for you, there's also an exclusive round-table interview with none other than Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump, and character designer for such videogames as Chrono Trigger and the Dragon Quest series. It's definitely a must-read if you're a fan of either author.

For all that greatness, I do have a few nitpicks with the localization. First, though the included panels from the manga are translated to English, not all of them match what has previously been released in Viz's adaptation of the manga itself. I'm not sure why this is, but it annoys me slightly, even though the meaning isn't changed significantly. Second, the translator doesn't seem to have a good grasp of Dragon Ball in English: In the Akira Toriyama interview, "Pilaf" is twice translated with a direct romanization ("Pirafu"), Piccolo-Daimao (the Great Demon King) is called "the Lord of Darkness," and several other characters' names use non-standard spellings that are nonetheless recognizable. Luckily, these odd translations don't substantially affect my overall appreciation of the book; it may not be a perfect translation, but it's pretty close.

A few words of warning, however: If you've been reading the manga in English, you'll want to read up through volume 9 (or the chapters thereof) before you get this book. It isn't just for spoilers: having read the manga also helps you put the images into context both chronologically and in terms of the story. There's also the matter of a certain anthropomorphic reindeer being on the cover, as well, but you'll get to know him sooner or later. If you follow the version of One Piece aired on TV, you may be a little put off by the contents: yes, Sanji smokes, the crew drinks alcohol on occasion, and people bleed. Don't fault the series for this, though; that's how it was intended to be (even in the animated version), and besides, there are still plenty of images that feature pure light-hearted fantasy, without all that pesky "drama" to worry about. There's something for everyone, here.

I'm (pleasantly) surprised that Viz released this book when they did: Color Walk 1 was released in Japan when One Piece was nearing volume 20, but as of this writing, volume 9 has yet to come out in English, and the chapters it contains were only finished up in the November 2005 issue of Shonen Jump. But all the same, I'm appreciative that Viz went to the lengths it did to bring over such a high-quality version of such a wonderful little artbook. Now we'll all have to look forward to when Viz puts out Color Walk 2 in... 2008, or so.

In closing: If you like One Piece, buy this book. You won't be disappointed.

absolulatly gorgeous book with wonderful wonderful art works through out. a must for any usagi fan :)
