Falls Flat.......2007-05-17

I have read the other books in this series and they were not bad. I like 40K literature I am hoping that one day it will do what D&D literature did and that is produce a great Chracter and writer like RA Salvatore. I hold no illusions that thise series was on the way to do that but the Soul Drinkers have been well developed and entertaining especially the first novel were their obession with an artifact leads to their downfall and their ultimate freedom. I thought that was a well developed theme that's why this novel is a disappointment. Its feels anti climatic at the end and much as the previous review there are typical plot turns and the inclusion of the Crimson Fists is really pointless. I am hoping the next novel chapter wars redeems the series but I have to say this novel really drops it back into the pack. A novel in a series should serve to advance the overall story line and leave you with a sense of wow because some questions were answered and new ones posed. After I was done reading it was more like uhh.

Rolicking Action; So-so Plot & Characters.......2005-06-05

Those who are simply looking for an action adventure set in Games Workshop's 40K universe - or those who enjoyed the first two Soul Drinkers novels - will like this book as well. All the elements of 40K, from elite Space Marines to the mass troops and armor of the Imperial Guard, are there. All the characters from the first two novels - Sarpedon and the all the rest of the Soul Drinkers - are there.

Unfortunately, the plot devices and many of the supporting cast are clumsy and/or forced so M. Counter can make his points. The Crimson Fists are mindless automatons, complete slaves to tradition and the Codex, single-mindedly pursuing the Soul Drinkers to the exclusion of all else ... until it's convenient to the plot for them not to do so. They serve as the "enslaved" counterpoint to the "freedom" that the Soul Drinkers have achieved. The plot device used to get the Soul Drinkers into the story at the outset is conveniently ignored when it's time for them to leave.

In short, entertaining to fans who don't look too closely at the writer's craft.

Book Description

Sara Lamont was happy. She had a loving husband, Don, who was a great provider. Don built their dream home in a quiet town in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York with the hopes of one day starting a family. She reunited with an old friend from high school, Alise, who introduced Sara to her roommate, Veronica, and all was looking bright. That is, until she lost everything. A devastating accident killed her husband Don, and the large empty house is too much for Sara to endure. She decides that life is no longer worth living. She awakens in a hospital room after a failed attempt to end her own life and finds Veronica looking over her. Veronica wants to help Sara, by drinking her blood! In a strange twist of fate, Veronica is unable to kill Sara and is forced to give her a new life full of darkness and confusion-life as a vampire. After a terrifying journey into the unknown and self-exploration, Sara decides to document her experiences in a journal to become her new companion, to remind her of who she was, and to hold onto whatever is left of her humanity

This book grasps the reader's attention from the very beginning and is hard to put down. Although short in length, this could very well be the next best cult classic. I have only heard good things from those that have already read Tears of Crimson and they anxiously await a sequel.

An essential addition to your library - Online ID's.......2007-05-24

A great piece for the instructional designer or senior learning consultant. Working in the e-learning industry, I found this book not just a good read but a subject of continuous reference. New, Innovative and smart!

Get it!

Be fearless.......2007-03-25

As daunting as this book is, I must admit, it's a tour de force. Not one turn unstoned. Quit your job, steel yourself, and reread its passages, several times if necessary. Do so simultaneously, as I am, with Psychology of Learning for Instruction (Marcy Driscoll) and know astronaut-training in instructional design.

Systematic Design of Instruction, The (6th Edition) .......2007-01-03

I had to read this book for a graduate level Instructional Design class. The structure of information within the chapters was poorly organized and not presented clearly. Chapters on actually developing course objectives, material and strategy completely lacked any valuable content. Overall a major disappointment.

Cumbersome & confusing.......2006-12-08

Granted, instructional design is not easy! But this book (and the Dick & Carey model in general) go so far into minute details that the bigger picture is lost!

I liked the outlay of the chapters. Each chapter represents a step in the instructional design process. This is the best feature of the book. But then the model/book goes into minutia and makes for heavy & confusing reading. In fact, several times I found myself saying "I think I understood what they meant the first time they said it, but after they said it 10 different ways, including 3 charts & diagrams, now I'm not so sure!"

The use of the examples in the book, particularly the charts & diagrams add to the confusion rather than making things more clear! A further example of this, is that often page 113, for example, will reference a chart on page 118. So amist the confusion, you have to turn the page and look back and forth between the text and the chart.

I also don't care for the size of the book. It's irregular and adds to the cumbersome feel of the text.

While it's true that with instructional design, you have to get down to the nitty gritty detail, this textbook seems to wallow in it much, much too long!

For the Instructional Designer.......2006-09-23

We used this book in my design class when I was earning a masters in training. It is still on my bookshelf. It is critical not only for instructional designers, but for managers who may know little or nothing about training but make training decisions.

This book focuses on a specific method to designing training programs. It is called the Instructional Systems Design Model (ISD), hence the title. It is also called A.D.D.I.E. This is the most commonly accepted approach to training.

The only thing that I wish the book had spent some pages on was using the two-column format. This book had everything else but that.

Still, there are certain texts that well-informed trainers have. This is one of them.

Book Description

This volume is one of several that examine the National Gallery of Art's distinguished collection of decorative arts. The group treated here is composed primarily of works acquired from the Widener Collection, and amplified by holdings acquired from the Kress family. Included are more than
eighty Medieval, Renaissance, and historicizing objects in a wide variety of media, encompassing metalwork, stained glass, enamels, ceramics, and jewels. Among the highlights are a Limoges reliquary chasse, a Mosan lion aquamanile, thirty-eight pieces in a cohesive group of Italian maiolica, three
of the very rare French pottery objects known as "Saint-Porchaire," and, the centerpiece of the collection, the Suger chalice, an ancient sardonyx cup to which the Abbot Suger added a bejewelled golden setting in the twelfth century.

Like other volumes in the Systematic Catalogue of the National Gallery of Art Collections, Western Decorative Arts includes a thoroughly researched entry for each object, together with an artist biography, up-to-date bibliography, and a technical analysis.

Book Description

From the hardships of a long and arduous war with Spain, the seventeenth-century Dutch seem to have drawn strength and expressed pride in their unique social and cultural heritage, especially in their art. Arthur K. Wheelock Jr., the Gallery's curator of northern Baroque painting, has carefully studied the Gallery's collection by masters of the Golden Age of Dutch art--notably Cuyp, De Hooch, Rembrandt, Ruisdael, and Vermeer. The twenty-three paintings by Rembrandt and his school are elucidated by an essay on the question of attribution, while an appendix of artists' signatures amplifies and supports the author's wide-ranging discussions of this remarkably cohesive collection.

Book Description

This volume is devoted to the paintings in the National Gallery of Art that were produced by British artists, or by foreign artists who spent the greater part of their working lives in Britain, from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries. Composed mainly of paintings acquired by such
prominent nineteenth-century industrialists as Andrew Mellon and P.A.B. Widener, the core of this important collection is a series of portraits by such masters as Gainsborough, Lawrence, Raeburn, and Romney, who represent the "golden age" of British painting. Brilliant landscapes by Constable,
Turner, and Wilson, among others, attest to another genre in which British artists have long excelled. Arranged alphabetically by artist, full catalogue entries articulate the history, style, content, and context of each work, with technical notes offering insight into the artists' working methods.
The volume also contains introductory biographies of each artist, as well as an up-to-date bibliography for each painting.
