Fuzzies are great.......2007-02-02
I have all the books on the Fuzzies, and love them all. H. Beam Piper really knows how to tell a story about these cute little Fuzzy Sapients. First time I read about them, I fell in love with Little Fuzzy and the whole clan.
Dated, but a good yarn nonetheless.......2007-01-31
The Complete Fuzzy is an anthology of Piper's three "Fuzzy" books: Little Fuzzy, Fuzzy Sapiens, and Fuzzies and Other People. The books center around Jack Holloway, frontier sunstone prospector on the colonial planet Zarathustra, and his new friends, a race of newly-discovered creatures dubbed Fuzzies. They're bipedal, roughly human-proportioned even though they're only about knee-height, covered in fur, and more intelligent than their evident lack of speech may indicate. The very possibility that these creatures are a race of sentient beings threatens the monopoly of the Chartered Zarathustra Company, a quasi-governmental entity that owns the planet Zarathustra outright, in the first of the three books. In the second, a group is kidnapping Fuzzies, and the race is on to find out who and why. In the last book, the Fuzzy kidnappers are on trial, and the prosecution hinges on testimony from the kidnapped Fuzzies. However, Fuzzies don't know how to lie, therefore the truth detection systems known as veridicators cannot be proven to tell when they are lying. On top of this, Little Fuzzy, the first Fuzzy ever found, is missing from a sunstone digging site, and presumed dead.
Futurist sci-fi writers are in the unenviable position of predicting future technologies. Even Arthur C. Clarke, one of the greatest, best-known, and most scientifically-grounded sci-fi authors of all time, wrote that by 2001 we would have a permanent outpost on the moon, manned missions to the outer planets, mind/machine interface, and artificial intelligence. Piper had an even greater disadvantage; his books were written in the 50's and early 60's. He never saw a man land on the moon (Spaceflight in general was only a few years old when he was first published). He never saw the technological marvel that is the integrated circuit, which revolutionized science fiction faster than the computers they were based on. Piper's works were written in an era of science fiction not far removed from Flash Gordon.
As an understandable consequence, some predictions of the future that are evident in The Complete Fuzzy are laughable. Virtually no one today can envision the future 600 years from now being anything remotely like Piper's books. Even though the world of Piper's future has interstellar travel, anti-gravity, and video communication, tobacco smoking is still a cultural pursuit, cocktail hour is a quasi-religious custom, gunpowder cartridges still power weapons, and zippers are a fashion statement. Computers are still largely mechanical devices taking up huge rooms. Voice is recorded on magnetic tape and recordings are transferred audibly across videoscreen connections at "sixty-speed", similar to dubbing. And the colonial worlds, of which the Fuzzy series deals mostly with the planet Zarathustra, are the new Wild West in the literal sense.
Piper also has a style of futurism similar to his contemporaries in that, even though there are alien races, humankind is the most intelligent and advanced race of anything discovered. Most of the science fiction written in Piper's time either takes this stance, or leave out alien races altogether, making space a vast empty playground for humans. Later generations scoff at this; our solar system is relatively new in the universe (Piper couldn't know this either) and we relatively new to this planet; odds are that any intelligent life we encounter in the cosmos will be more advanced than ourselves.
Regardless of this, there are some fundamental human stories that stand up through ages. People with power who don't want to lose it, people standing up for the little guy in the face of those who would exploit them and their world, and the fundamental human nature of greed. The "Wild West with anti-grav" setting of the stories seems cheesy now, but actually serves as an exciting backdrop for the action that takes place. It seems that no novel is complete anymore without armed conflict, whether between planes, ships, spaceships, or two men with six-shooters, and this is a place where Little Fuzzy doesn't disappoint. The three books together also shine as courtroom dramas, hingeing on questions that have yet to be answered in science-fact: what is the definition of sentient life? How do you test for sentience? And perhaps most importantly, what are the rights under law of a race of cute fuzzy intelligent beings?
And the Fuzzies are perhaps Piper's most darling creations: cute, intelligent, and totally innocent, with no knowledge of deception or evil (As a character in the books puts it, "You can't lie to your environment, and if you lie to yourself about it, it kills you"). There are also some very poignant comments on current affairs: "That was the trouble with being in an irresistible position for so long; you didn't expect resistance".
The books are dated; it's near impossible to write a sci-fi piece that stands up to 40 years of the kinds of technological advances we've had. It's possible the next generation of sci-fi readers, who grew up watching DVDs and listening to CDs and MP3s, will find this novel impossible to grasp due to its ancient technology. But for now, the generation that grew into the digital age rather than being born into it will find this a nostalgic look at the future that was.
One great book, one mediocre book, one unfinished book .......2005-05-17
3 books in one volume. The first book in the series is the best. Compelling characters,uplifting eco-friendly "people vs corporation" plot.
The excitement of finding that first sapient life, that we are not alone.. It strikes a universal chord. And the Little Fuzzys are so darn cute. That newness of finding and getting to know the "aliens" loses some of its luster over the next two books. I wouldn't recomend buying the "complete" unless you are already a big fan and need to replace your copies of the books.
While the actual plot is a little formulaic, the characters and situations are very believable. Unlike another reviewer who thought any advanced technological civilization would not have guns, liquor, or imperfections like obesity or old age..I feel it makes the characters and situations much more real. If all the "new" drugs of the past 500 years have not supplanted liquor, tobacco, or caffiene as the drug of choice... why would another 500 years change that.
Three great books in one!.......2005-03-30
H. Beam Piper (1904-64) was one of the premier science-fiction authors of the 1960s, and should rightly be considered one of the all-time greats in that field. Among the wonderful books that Mr. Piper published during his all-too-short career were a series of three books set on the future world of Zarathustra. This book is a compilation of those three books.
In Little Fuzzy (originally published in 1962), an aging prospector discovers that the planet is actually populated by a race of small, furry humanoids, which he names fuzzies. Little does he know that the discovery of *intelligent* humanoids on Zarathustra would void the charter of the company that owns it outright, and the Chartered Zarathustra Company is too powerful to be threatened with impunity.
In Fuzzy Sapiens (1964), the head of the now Charterless Zarathustra Company is shocked to find a fuzzy in his high-security apartment. Someone is kidnapping fuzzies, but why? This is going to get complicated.
In Fuzzies and Other People (written in 1964, but then lost after Piper's tragic suicide; found and published in 1984), the trial of the Fuzzy kidnappers is coming up, and all the friends of this newly discovered sentient race are hoping for a decisive conviction. However, the kidnappers' lawyer, Hugo Ingermann, has a few aces up his sleeve, the biggest ace being that a standard lie detected will now show when a Fuzzy is lying, making their testimony inadmissible. The biggest problem seems to be that Fuzzies do not understand the concept of lying, so now the race is on to find a Fuzzy that can lie.
I must admit that I was hoping for a little something extra in buying this book, a new introduction perhaps. But, I was disappointed. Even so, my copies of the original books were becoming worn-out, and it is nice to be able to get a new copy of these books.
H. Beam Piper was an excellent author, who was expert at creating new worlds with unique problems, that are nonetheless familiar seeming and realistically drawn. I have loved the Fuzzy stories for many years now, and keep rereading them over and over again. If you are a fan of excellent sci-fi from the 1950s and 60s, then I can guarantee that you will love this book!
Classic SF... for the whole family........2003-10-28
Capsule Description: A dispute over whether a small creature native to the planet Zarathustra is actually intelligent becomes a gripping drama in and out of the frontier planet's courtroom, in a trial whose outcome could mean life or death for an entire species. Written in a way that's suitable for virtually all audiences aside from very young children, with likeable characters, and starring the title character Little Fuzzy, who makes all of Lucas' attempts at cute sidekick characters look lame. A wonderful feel-good book.
Review: Take a good-hearted, crusty miner-type from any good Old West story -- especially the old miner who used to be a gunslinger -- and you've got Jack Holloway, prospecting for "sunstones" on the planet Zarathustra. Zarathustra's owned by the Chartered Zarathustra Company, so whatever you find there you sell to the Company, at the price the Company sets... but sunstones are valuable enough that even what the Company pays is well worth your while. But one day the independent loner comes home to find an odd, cute little creature has wandered into his house. It isn't long before he decides that "Little Fuzzy" is more than just an animal. What he doesn't think about, at least not at first, is this simple fact: a planet-wide Charter is awarded to a company only for planets which do NOT have a native sentient race. But when word of Jack's discovery reaches one of the Company's executives, they most certainly DO think about it... and get ready to do something about it, as well.
"Little Fuzzy" is one of the SF books that I can read to my kids. It has a warm, engaging prose style, and while there are one or two scenes that are scary or shocking, for the most part it's a story where people deal with each other as people. Even the opposition, in the person of the Zarathustra Company's executives, isn't painted in shades of black and white. It still remains an exciting book, with a number of unexpected twists, and very re-readable as well. I recommend buying "The Complete Fuzzy", which contains three Fuzzy novels in one, showing the evolution of the relationships that are started in the first, "Little Fuzzy".

Customer Reviews:
Super Pipe Cleaner Book.......2006-08-05
Not stupid or childish. The best pipe cleaner craft book I've been able to find. Projects were eagerly tried and many time recreated. More then sunglasses and jewerly. The book you want if you're looking for pipe cleaner crafts!!
Who knew that you could make some many things out of pipe cleaners?.......2006-08-05
This book is absolutely excellent! I used it originally about 8 years ago, and I purchased it to use this summer with 3rd grade students at summer school. The kids had a great time...and I did too! A must have!
Highly recommended for little kids!.......2003-07-15
I bought this book on a whim -- I wanted a quiet indoor activity that my 7 year old niece and my mom could do together. My niece absolutely LOVED this book. She was old enough to know how to read, and young enough to enjoy doing little crafty projects -- I think that's a key combination to how much a child will like this book. She could figure out the directions herself, and she and my mom spent a few hours making the projects in the book. Later, she reused some of the pipe cleaners to make up her own projects.
All in all, this book kept her occupied for several hours over the weekend. I expect that she's still having fun with it -- we bought her a stack of pipe cleaners from the local craft store.
I HIGHLY recommend this book -- it's not messy or noisy, kids like it, they can follow the book or use their imaginations, they can do the projects independently or in a small playgroup, and buying more pipe cleaners is very inexpensive -- a few dollars gets you several packets. I bet it would be a great activity for kids taking long car trips, or for rainy-day fun.
My _ONLY_ critique of this book is that they should give enough pipe cleaners for TWO of each project, instead of for just one. That way, if a child wants to play with another person, each one can make the same item. The cost of doing so should be quite small, as the the pipe cleaners are really cheap, but even if it raised the book cost by another dollar or two, it would be worth it!
okay.......2003-07-09
I think this book is very creative but there is nothing to do with the animals when you finish them. and so i just put them in a drawer.
Pipe Cleaners Gone Crazy.......2002-01-21
I bought this book for my son,who just turned 8. He had wanted to make animals out of pipe cleaners, they had done this at school. He really liked this book. I liked it because it comes with enough pipe cleaners to make everything in the book. It really does! The pictures are step by step and really clear. We had a lot of fun with this book.

Book Description
Expanded and updated for the new millennium.
Covering the life of Christ, the election of Pope Benedict XVI, and everything in between, A Concise History of the Catholic Church has been one of the bestselling religious histories of the past two decades and a mainstay for scholars, students, and others looking for a definitive, accessible history of Catholicism. With a clarity that will appeal to any reader, Thomas Bokenkotter divides his study into five parts that correspond to the major historical and epochal developments in Catholicism. His authoritative, thorough approach takes readers from the Church’s triumph over paganism, through "the sound and fury of renewal," to a new section devoted to such topics as dissent and current developments in the ecumenical movement. Informative illustrations throughout the book, new to this edition, enrich the reader's experience, and the addition of a wide-ranging bibliography increases its value as a sourcebook.

Its tittle say it all!.......2007-09-27
I'm in my first year of theology, and some of the cool things I've always wanted to study was about the Roman history. In his book,"A Concise History of the Catholic Church" Bokenkotter includes all the details any religious or lay person should learn about his/her beliefs about God walking with his people. More specifically, how some group of people were willing to give up their own lives for bearing the name, Christian.
Protestant Perspective of Catholic History.......2007-03-23
Having read the text exhausively as a required text, I am familiar with Bokenkotter's well chronicled, in-depth work presented here. The chapters are divided and consuming the church history as a whole is bearable to say the least and is as much of a page turner as a two thousand year old history can be.
However, research confirms a subtle opinionated style throughout- that the author is no Catholic and certainly not an apologist for the faith. If you are looking for criticism or reporting on Luther or Calvin's autocratic and caustic style, it is not found. In fact, the counter reformation is downplayed and the Prostestant Reformation reported as a sort of saving grace for Mother Church. The sins of the church are overemphasized somewhat indicating some bias.
The finis of an updated version gives us an author not excited about an extension of John Pauls pontificate with the selection of Ratzinger and sounds off with a yearning similarly heard from more contemporary, unorthodox Catholics.
If you need an excellent research manual, this is a fine text. If you yearn for an orthodox documentation or apologetic perspective, pass on this one.
Bit of an update.......2006-11-13
The 2005 edition of TB's "Concise History of the Catholic Church" basically adds a very brief chapter on the final illness and death of John Paul II, and the election of Benedict XVI. TB writes that little update from the fullness of the moment when the world watched the events of the passing of one pope and the election of another on live broadcasts, so his two-page insert has the freshness of the immediate. That little chapter is more of a chronicle than a historical reflection.
The 2005 edition of "Concise History", other than the above-mentioned little piece, reproduces untouched the 2002 version of TB's best-seller. The novelty of that 2002 edition had been his appraisal of the long pontificate of John Paul II leading across the threshold of the Third Millennium. That appraisal, published in time for the pope's silver jubilee on the chair of Peter, presents a type of "point of arrival" rather than a conclusion to the ongoing story of the Church. TB's book is, after all, a survey of 2000 years of Church history, so it is interesting that the last quarter of the 20th Century should get so much attention. Yet, that is the time in which most of TB's reader's were born and have lived, so that special attention makes sense.
The "Concise History" is a solid text that can be used in college and seminary courses of Church history. I've used it as a text and resource for survey courses that I've taught at grad level for students of theology. It is highly readable, solid and sober in tone, informative and synthetic. In short, the book works, edition after edition. My students always seem to appreciate "Bokenkotter", as they call the book. Their appreciation is one of the reasons that I continue to make use of this resource when asked to speak of the history of the Church.
An excellent overview.......2006-05-26
This book gives the best one-volume introduction to the history of the Catholic Church that I know. One cannot of course always agree with the author's opinions or appreciate his choice of historical materials, but he gives an integrated and interpretive survey of the subject.
Particularly interesting is the way in which he interprets Church history since the French Revolution. He shows the Church structure challenged by both secular and religious liberalism in the 19th century; he chronicles the rejection of this challenge by the Vatican power structure in the Church, and then the return of the ever vital "liberal" forces to the surface in the Second Vatican Council. His coverage of Church history since 1965 is by necessity tentative, but he effectively shows the push and pull of political and spiritual forces within the Church since that date.
The author obviously believes that the Church is an institution that has to make adjustments to the times (one only has to look to St. Paul to understand why he thinks this). The Catholic Church is currently launched on a great adventure to find a new balance after leaving behind the previous model bequeathed to the modern world by the Council of Trent.
This book is an excellent introduction to this effort.
For the scholar or anyone with an interest in Church History.......2006-02-25
Bokenkotter has written a thorough, scholarly and eminently readable history of the Catholic Church. He develops the main themes that run through Church history. He also gives helpful background to the political and doctrinal issues which have arisen in the course of the Church's history. I heartily recommend it to any person of faith and also to anyone with an interest in history.
Customer Reviews:
The "Missing Manual" for Vatican II .......2007-05-08
In his opening paragraph, the author states that the documents of Vatican II "shape virtually every aspect of church life today," yet hardly anyone ever reads them, probably because they lack "a proper introduction." His Concise Guide is that introduction, designed to be used with the documents and offering for each a brief history, section-by-section reading guide, summary of the document's place in today's church, and questions for reflection. There are also instructions for obtaining the documents; guidelines for reading them and for using the Concise Guide individually or with groups; sidebars within the chapters; a glossary; suggestions for further readings; and an index.
An example from the chapter on the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World (Gaudium et Spes) conveys the flavor of Hahnenberg's work. The introduction explains the overall plan for the council: two categories, the church's inner life and her relationship with the outside world. The document for this second category, for which there was no model, involved dozens of drafts and consultations throughout Europe over a period of three years. We learn that deep disagreements arose over emphasis on the church's dialoguing with the world vs. proclaiming Christ to it as well as ways in which reform and renewal might be accomplished. These differences, explains Hahnenberg, "would have a profound impact on the way in which GS would be interpreted in the years after the Council."
Mirroring the major points in Gaudium et Spes, the "document today" section and reflection questions address dialogue/proclamation; signs of the times; marriage and society; church and state; and globalization. One sidebar in the chapter notes that GS was the only council text composed entirely in a modern language, French.
Book Description
Spanning from the birth of Christianity through the Crusades and the Protestant Reformation to John XXIII and the Second Vatican Council, Key Moments in Church History is a brief and accessible guide to the origins and evolution of the Catholic Church. In this insightful and informative look at eleven of the most significant periods in church history, Finley not only helps readers understand the context and characters of the past, but sheds light on the current and future Church. The result is a hopeful and inspirational reading experience that is ideal for personal reflection or group use.

Loaded with interesting facts about patron saints. Who Knew?.......1998-11-13
I've never been especially interested in the lives of Saints per se, or actually never really knew much about them, despite my parochial upbringing. All I knew was that many of them were martyred and had for the most part lived fairly holy lives... and have since become the patron saints of something or other...and I'm using that term losely. We have the patron saint of cooks who was actually grilled to death in a giant waffle iron. Now that's interesting if somewhat morbid reading. There is a patron saint to just about anything you can think of from the mundane to somewhat bizarre, and is a good argument for the saying that truth is stranger that fiction. It also serves as a cross reference to help in locating the patron saint of just about any remedy. Also listed are the patron saints for each day of the year. It's everything you never knew about saints and more...very well written, highly readable and without all the doctrine. It contains just the facts and only the most interesting ones. In closing I would have to say that I was most pleasantly surprised by this very entertaining book and that the author did a good job in presenting the subject matter for the lay reader with that in mind.

An Excellent Primer of Early Christianity.......2006-05-02
True to its title, this one-volume mini-encyclopedia provides concise information on personages, doctrines, trends, etc. in the first few centuries of the Christian Church. It is especially useful for tracking the various Gnostic heresies that attempted to parasitize early Christian teaching and doctrine.
