| 1071. 'It Was a Dark and Stormy Night, Snoopy' | |

by: CHARLES M. SCHULZ List Price: $11.95 Amazon.com's Price: $9.56 You Save: $2.39 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Ok, for some reason, possibly by the title, cover, and back description, I got the idea this book was going to be all about Snoopy's attempts at the great American novel. Though there are a couple such strips, it is the entire 1995 year. But that ultimately didn't matter. Full of the usual humor only Schulz could think of, there's the strips that make you laugh lighty, some that make you howl (Conrad, get his beak pierced?), but always make you smile. Good compilation, as usual, and worth ... Read More  Read Reviews and Description

|
by: David Sklansky, Mason Malmuth, Ray Zee List Price: $29.95 Amazon.com's Price: $23.96 You Save: $5.99 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This book provides the soundest advice on seven-card stud available in print. It is intended for serious poker players with a strong desire to beat the high-stakes poker games played in the casinos of Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and elsewhere, and it could even provide the foundation for a career as a professional poker player. The book is so jam-packed with concepts that it doesn't read very smoothly the first time through. It should be considered more of a reference work than a tutorial -- and it's ...

by: Katherine M. Ramsland List Price: $12.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.36 You Save: $2.59 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description "The Forensic Science of C.S.I." by Katherine Ramsland, ISBN 0-425-18359-9 (ppb), Berkly Blvd. Books 2001 - is a 242 page exposition by established writer (15 books plus masters in forensics) cleverly utilizing the characters, plots and forensics presented in the popular TV series "C.S.I." It is helpful (but not essential) to have followed "CSI" on TV as Ramsland's reference to the TV shows' titles and characters is merely a ploy in her easy-to-read presentation of basic modern forensics. Indeed, ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: William S. Root, Patricia L. Magnus List Price: $15.00 Amazon.com's Price: $10.50 You Save: $4.50 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I've always thought William Root's books were very good, so I was glad to see his new offering. I'll be using in a small class for beginning players. It is so important to get new players off on the right foot, and it is far too easy to scare them away with too many gadgets or an unreadable book. The system the book teaches is a fairly standard modern system, although my opinion is that limit raises in majors should now be viewed as standard (the book mentions limit raises, but advises people to begin with forcing raises). ...

| 1076. Whatever You Say I Am : The Life and Times of Eminem | |
|
by: ANTHONY BOZZA List Price: $23.00 Amazon.com's Price: $16.10 You Save: $6.90 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This book is more focused on the hip-hop culture than Eminem. It does have some history of Eminem, but not enough for hard-core Eminem fans like myself, since most Eminem fans out there already know about Eminem's life thanks to biorythem: the old MTV biography show, and also stories told by Emimem himself. It does follow Eminem to 8 Mile, and his struggles coming up into the rap world as a white MC, of course it was hard then, and for some it is still hard for some white MC's out there. Now Bozza explains about ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: James Paul Gee List Price: $26.95 Amazon.com's Price: $18.86 You Save: $8.09 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description The book is primarily a criticism of 'traditional' school-based learning methodologies, using observations of children playing video games and the author's own play sessions as representative examples of the 36 principles of good learning he describes. He uses primarily 3d shooters and RPGs as his examples of 'good' video games (meaning that they encourage learning things about and within the world of the game). The author defines and conceptualizes his principles of learning and contrasts it with the school-based education process, ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
