Grant Books

This is an excellent historical document which has been very accurately researched by Daniel Chipman, a person who actually knew Seth Warner.

A "Band of Cousins", Seth Warner, Remember Baker and Ethan Allen were three very important individuals in the establishment of Vermont as a state.

Anyone interested in the early history of Vermont and the beginnings of the Revolutionary War should read this book.

Elizabeth Grant of Rothiemurchus' biographical volumes offer a very personal look into the past of Scotland (in the first book). Her account of her family's lives and what Scotland was like in the early 19th century would be fascinating to anyone interested in that country or interested in the lives of women of that era. In some ways she seems very contemporary and in other ways she seems very far removed from life today. But her memoirs offer a unique view of how life was lived that long ago and in a place so remote from the mainstream. I found the first book totally enthralling and look forward to reading the other volumes of her later life, after she married an Anglo-Irish landowner and moved to Ireland, and her later travels.

The first nottice I had about Burney's book was in a radio program in a spanish station exclusively devoted to classical music. This program was emited on saturday's morning about ten years ago and, during several weeks, all the text as well as music of that time was its content. I remember that in those days I was working in a photographic project and it was a true delight to be developing my pictures listening those wondering memories and music. Now, many years after, I,ve found the book again and I'll try to retake all those sensations.

David Grant Noble's THE MESA VERDE WORLD, is probahly the best photographic representation of the nortern Chacoan culture. Specialists in various aspects of archaeology illuminate in text the excellent graphics.

Grant Jeffrey has become one of the more respected authors dealing with Christian religious prophecy, and with this work, it's easy to see why. Included in this volume are over 300 pages of fine details about the coming war in the Middle East and the road we must travel to Armageddon. It shows why Russia and the powers of the north are interested in Israel's land and resources, the coming of the final Anti-Christ, where Jesus can be found in the Quran (Koran), whether the land being fought over is really Israel's or Palestine's, more about Solomon;s Temple and the third attempt to rebuild it, and many former secrets of the Jews, including the "copper scrolls". If you've read any of Jeffrey's other works and enjoyed them, then I'd sugest reading this one too.

This book is an excellent reference for designing web pages with CSS.
The author explains steps by steps the complexities of web page design. The asociated figures for each example to work are excellent, as well as the web pages colors. The CD ROM was very helpful as well as the movies.
I am very happy with book format, procedures, and expected solutions to a given problem. Personally, I had a little problem because as a PC guy my IE version was old. Once I updated to IE7 everything was fine.
Thank you for a great book!

What can I say? Everything that was wrong with Might & Magic VII's Strategy Guide has been remedied in this one.

1. Quest Walkthroughs have been separated into Main, Promotion, and Secondary (according to region) sections so you can get to the walkthrough you want with a minimum of page flipping, in contrast to that annoying jumble of quests in each region provided in the previous strategy guide.

2. A serious flaw of the previous strategy guide was the lack of a Skill table. This guide not only provides a Skill table, which is nicely divided into Armor&Weapons, Magic, and Miscellaneous Skills, it even mentions them again in the Region Location tables, resulting in (u guessed it) a minimum of page flipping.

3. The Walkthroughs in the previous guide were written in long winded paragraphs that mentioned too much useless information. When I'm playing a game and get stuck in a quest, I don't want to spend time reading a bunch of paragraphs, I want to find out the exact sequence of steps required to finish the quest, as in: (A) go talk to this guy who is in such and such a place to receive the quest. (B) go do THIS over THERE to THOSE people (C) go back to that guy and collect your reward. Quick and painless just like this guide.

4. In general the guide hasn't forgotten anything. It provides ALL the stats on EVERYTHING: Spells, Items, Ores, Maps, Travel Schedules, Monsters, etc. The Maps are clearer, and the tips provided are very useful and great time savers.

Could this guide have been better? Maybe, anything is possible. Still, I couldn't find a single thing to complian about, and thats something.

I really enjoyed Steve's Book. He makes sense of spiritualness in every day life. The stories are out of what has happened or what is happening in Steve's life and therefore helps give a personal touch to his book.

Thank you Steve, I look forward to reading your next book.

Monobath Manual by Grant Haist is a classic publication.
This book details Mr. Haist's work with monobath photographic processing, which combines the developing of the film or paper with the fixer in the same solution.
Traditional film development uses a photographic developer solution, usually a mildly acid "stop bath", and then an acid hardening fixer to remove the unexposed and undeveloped silver halide.
For anyone interested in silver halide processing with the one bath(monobath) method this book is the definitive work for the average photographer who wishes to mix their own processing solution.

This is an excellent book for researching classic mysteries.
For instance, there are graphic pictures of "Big Foot"-a
wildman humanoid in Asia. In addition, there are pictures of
the infamous Yeti which are near ape-people. North American
wildcats are portrayed, as well as the Loch Ness Monster
of Scotland. The book is a worthy purchase for monster
enthusiasts everywhere. In addition, these pictures and
stories would be worthy commentary for any student class project.
