Discontent breaks out.......2004-02-27
This is one of the most disturbing of Angela Thirkell's books, seemingly the watershed between the early books which are mostly humourous but seem still connected with the time period in which they are set and the later books which even the author herself says are set in the 'cloud cuckoo land of Barsetshire'. Perhaps thr author herself was very depressed after the war or found the changes in society difficult to cope with but it becomes increasingly difficult decide when the author is being satirical or when she is indulging in propaganda for her own prefered social setup. There are still some genuinely funny passages but many of the situations in the later books seem designed as showcases for the same conversations, jokes and prejudices that have already been overly laboured in previous books- for example the superiority of a classical education.There is a fair amount of subtlety in the depictions of the aristocracy and upper gentry but other 'classes' are frequently represented as mindless morons. It may be significant the Angela Thirkell has a greater following in America than in Britain where people (myself included evrn though this is written from Canada)can still remember the times when some of the books were written or have a greater knowledge of the social history of the times. If you find you enjoy the books and don't find parts of them irritating or depressing,carry on reading them but for someone who really wants to know what life was like after the Second World War in Britain it would be better to read non-fiction accounts or any fictional author of books set in the period other than Angela Thirkell.
A visit with old and new friends.......2001-01-24
Reading my way through the Barsetshire Series for the second time in 5 years. They are as delightful now as they were the first time and thanks to the reprints, much easier to find.
This novel shows how the end of the war effected those in Britain, who although were relieved to welcome their loved ones home, had to suffer through rationing for many more years.
Thirkell's gentle touch with humor, recurring characters and comfortable setting all make for a wonderful escape. There are no murders or intrigue, no sex, but for me pure entertainment.
Book Description
The first in a three-part adventure series dealing with the immediate aftermath of the Storm of Chaos, and Archaon's flattening of Middenheim. Chaos cultists and Beastmen abound in the smoking ruins of the Empire's northern most city and it's immediate environs. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (WFRP or WHFRP) is a roleplaying system created by Games Workshop. It is set in the Old World, which bears some resemblance to late medieval / renaissance Europe. The world is threatened by the forces of Chaos. The major power in the Old World is the Empire, in which most of the adventures are located. The Empire itself is a country full of intrigue, conspiracies, and dark plots. BL Publishing is the publishing wing of the world famous Games Workshop group of companies. As well as its new Black Industries imprint, the division is also home to the Black Library, which has been producing best-selling and award-winning novels, comics and artbooks set in the worlds of Warhammer since 1997. It also includes the Black Flame fiction imprint for non-Warhammer titles, and Warhammer Historical Wargames. Warhammer Fantasy Battle was originally published in 1986 and subsequently licensed to Hogshead Publishing. This is the second edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.

A Path of Damnation it is........2007-03-03
Damned, tells us the Dictionary, is:
[attribute-informal] used for emphasis; [esp.] to express anger or frustration. Also, in christian belief, are those condemned by God to suffer eternal punishment in Hell.
I cannot agree more, in all accounts, with the book of grammatical knowledge.
Specially with the first of the definitions since it describes what I believe any experienced GM or player group will feel during the whole experience of following the Paths of the Damned, if they manage to go through the whole story.
I do not want to be needlessly unkind with this adventure book, but it does deserve some scolding.
Edition facts: It is, as with all Green Ronin publications, luxuriously done. Hard cover, nice paper and the works for those who revel in the superficial, as I do. It does provide a very strong background on Middenheim, the City of the Wolf (32 pages out of 95). The story is sufficiently long (8 chapters, playable in about a short session each).
Potential grudges: If you are the kind that do not need luxury but accessibility (price wise), then the sole presence of a hard cover-expensive-paper edition in the market may seem to you like an excess. This is no flaw to me but may dishearten a few out there. The vast material on Middenheim will be a waste of 32 pages if you have the sourcebook of that city from the olden days when GW or Hogshead were in charge. It will not if you thrive in playing under the purest of precisions, since the new information on the city is now compatible with the background also provided by the literary segment of the line, detailing to some extent Magic Academies and such newer inclusions to the world. Also not a very bad minus in case you see it this way. But what I really see as the problem is, well, those 8 chapters. I like superficiality but not in my campaign, and this is were these paths are truly damned. The story is bland, unremarkable and common. Like any other story that any GM has ever managed to put together by themselves (and for free).
It follows linearly a vastly trudged plot line in WHFR games:
Empire is facing direst threat, only lowly heroes can save world, get attacked by mutants or equally lowly beastmen, high ranking official or nobleman hires them, now attacked by cultists, high ranking officer or nobleman is actually involved in the mad-persons cult, demon of supposedly unsurpassed power gets invoked, adventurers ruin the invocation or kill the doom-harbinger demon with no help but their lowly selves.
This one is a masterful example of methodology. That one study case by the numbers.
Additional mini-grudges: If for some reason you did not play the introductory scenario provided by the Rules Book, then, the hook for your adventurers to be involved is close to non-existing. Other WH adventures went the distance in providing ideas of why your players should immerse in the story, this one takes a more D&D approach: 'cuz it'll be fun. The chapters are only related since it is the same story running but most feel completely disassociated from one another and as just some anecdotes pasted together. For those that have any of the Bloodstones campaign books: this one is equally bad.
Overall, a throughly dispirited beginning of a campaign. I believe that only an absolute beginner group of players would enjoy a story as this one. So if you are just that, do buy it, it may be fun after all.
A Great Kickstart to a Campaign!.......2006-11-24
This is the first installment of the Paths of the Damned trilogy campaign for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying (WFRP) and based on what I've seen of the later two adventures easily the best. This book has two distinct parts, a summary of Middenheim (~28 pages) and the eight chapters of the adventure proper (~50+ pages).
Summary of Middenheim. The recent travails of Middenheim are nicely summarized and the sections of the city are well laid out and accompanied by a small neighborhood map that ties nicely into the map of the entire city. Consistent with a big city, the sewers are also laid out and this always serves to increase the "realism" of the "grim and perilous world of adventure" that is WFRP. The city is recovering from a siege, and this is well handled by the book.
The Ashes of Middenheim adventure. Picking up seemlessly from the introductory adventure in the WFRP book, this adventure consists of eight distinct chapters. While quite linear, I liked the adventure segments as they involved a nice mix of city, country, tomb raiding, investigation and combat. The NPCs, I though, were unusually interesting, and even as a referee reading it I was impressed with some of the plot twists and turns. The plot gets increasingly incredible and "suspension of disbelief" is strained but it seems worth it.
In contrast to the other WFRP adventures I've seen, this one does include detailed experience point guides, very helpful to those of us new to the system.
Printed in Canada.
Great Start.......2006-06-30
That was exactly what our group was looking for in recent years. Pregenerated Adventures for us to play. We just lack the time to write up our own these days (and we know each other too well).
AOM is a solid and good start for any new to RPGs. You will get familiar with the traits of the Old World and some of its factions.
The Adventure divided in 7 Section is interesting. We had a lot of fun. Some RPG-Veterans might not like that the adventure is a bit too linear but then again they certainly have a GM who can spice up the whole thing (as did ours).
A great start to WFRP V2 and may many adventures follow!
Paths of the Damned: Ashes of Middenheim.......2005-08-03
With Ashes of Middenheim, the first in the Paths of the Damned epic campaign set in the Old World for Warhammer Fantasy Role Play, Black Industries has met its goal of creating a campaign worthy of the Enemy Within of 1st Edition fame. The first installment's adventures are short enough to be completed in one or two nights each and leave plenty of room for the GM to be creative and add their own content. In many cases, this is encouraged. Between some adventures there is enough space to put in one off adventures or to use published adventures such as the ones found in Plundered Vaults.
Singing praises does little good in a review, so I'll concentrate on the few problems.
First, not enough maps. Middenheim is wonderfully detailed and includes are great map of the city and sewers, but I would have liked to seen a local area map that includes the surrounding countryside. Also, many of the buildings, including some of the main buildings in the various adventures, are not mapped out. These are left to the GM to flesh out, or some such thing. I would still like to see maps for all of the places of any importance.
Second, the campaign does not, at least to my mind, allow for elves. I don't see much reason that an elf would want to follow this campaign. Oh, sure, fighting chaos and such, yes. But it seems a lot of what happens are things an elf, whether an aloof High elf or a sylvan minded Wood Elf, would just say "oh well, human troubles" and be on their way. You have to work a bit harder to get elves involved is all I am saying. With humans you have the religious element of Ulric and Sigmar to make them feel obligated in some way, plus this is their country. Dwarfs, likewise, are somewhat sympathetic toward human endeavors and the Sigmarite cause, what with Sigmar being an ancient dwarfish ally. This is a minor point, but one which caused me some vexation as a GM.
Did I mention the history, map and background for Middenheim was top notch? Oh, I guess I did. Well, it is worth the price for that alone.
Great Start to the New WFRP!.......2005-07-15
I'll make it quick: if you're a GM looking to jump right into the revamped WFRP with your party this is the book for you!
Novice or veteran GMs will appreciate the campaign and its details. Starting right off where the `starter' adventure in the WFRP main book left off this is volume one of an Epic three part campaign in the Empire.
Taking place in the great city of Middenheim it includes eight `chapters' (adventures) which tell the tale of chaos corrupting the heart of a noble city from within...and your PCs are the only ones who can choose to fight it.
Geared toward beginning characters in their first career (or at most their second) the book contains all the material needed for a great campaign. Along with maps, stats, background history and even an additional career this book is worth the price for the bits of info about Middenheim, the kingdom of Middenland and the religions of Sigmar and primarily Ulric.
I completly recommend this book especially if you're like myself: and old-school WFRPer (GM) who has not gamed in their glories world of perilous adventure form many a year. It will jump start not only your gaming but your imagination.

A nice action-packed romp.......2005-06-01
Since I was picking up the "Judge Dredd" offerings from DC Comics' 2000 AD line, I figured I'd pick up some of the other books while I was at it.
"Strontium Dog" is a series created by Dredd-creators John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra. Much like the Dredd-verse, "Strontium Dog" is set in a distant post-apocalyptic future. After a nuclear war, strontium-90 pollutes the landscape, causing genetic mutations. These mutants are outcasts (shades of "X-men"), with very few rights. Their only option to get ahead is bounty hunting, becoming Strontium Dogs.
The protagonist of this series is Johnny Alpha, whose mutation allows him to see through anything, including into people's minds. His partner is Wulf, a normal person with great strength and a stereotypical Scandanavian accent. Also in tow is a creature known as the Gronk, an alien with great healing abilities, very little physical courage, and a penchant for speaking like Jar Jar Binks.
While Johnny Alpha's world is not quite the biting satire that Judge Dredd is, it is an action-packed one. First, Johnny and his group are taken captive by a savage warrior race. Then, while on the trail of a rogue strontium dog, Johnny and his gang must fight their way through a hell-like dimension. Finally, Johnny travels back in time to capture that arch-fiend, Adolph Hitler.
This volume is a nice action-packed romp. If you like Judge Dredd, you'll like this.
Book Description
Mathematics and logic have been central topics of concern since the dawn of philosophy. Since logic is the study of correct reasoning, it is a fundamental branch of epistemology and a priority in any philosophical system. Philosophers have focused on mathematics as a case study for general philosophical issues and for its role in overall knowledge- gathering. Today, philosophy of mathematics and logic remain central disciplines in contemporary philosophy, as evidenced by the regular appearance of articles on these topics in the best mainstream philosophical journals; in fact, the last decade has seen an explosion of scholarly work in these areas. This volume covers these disciplines in a comprehensive and accessible manner, giving the reader an overview of the major problems, positions, and battle lines. The 26 contributed chapters are by established experts in the field, and their articles contain both exposition and criticism as well as substantial development of their own positions. The essays, which are substantially self-contained, serve both to introduce the reader to the subject and to engage in it at its frontiers. Certain major positions are represented by two chapters--one supportive and one critical. The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Math and Logic is a ground-breaking reference like no other in its field. It is a central resource to those wishing to learn about the philosophy of mathematics and the philosophy of logic, or some aspect thereof, and to those who actively engage in the discipline, from advanced undergraduates to professional philosophers, mathematicians, and historians.

Good overview.......2007-08-29
The book is a very good and comprehensive overview of the current field. It contains a lot of separate essays that present a good picture of the area under investigation.
I recommend this book to everybody who is interested in this field.
The most concise work on the philosophy of mathematics.......2006-07-08
Anyone looking for a synopsis on collected essays on this subject need look no further. This is not only because of the relative scarcity of books on this subject. I would say this book will become (if it is not already) the bible of the philosophy of maths, like the book of Hardy is on number theory.
The chapters start in a readable manner also for laymen like me. For these introductions in prose (I mean without logic formulas and math language)alone the book is worth the buy.
I have to admit though that to fully comprehend the details, more advanced maths knowledge is necessary. But everything is there, all the key-figures that played and play a role in the discussion on this subject, and a discussion on what they have done and how their contribution adds to this relatively new field.
Highly recommended, among the works of Shapiro himself.
Book Description
Mathematical Olympiad competitions started in Hungary at the end of the nineteenth century, and are now held internationally. They bring together able secondary school pupils who attempt to solve problems which develop their mathematical skills. Olympiad problems are unpredictable and have no obvious starting point, and although they require only the skills learnt in ordinary school problems they can seem much harder. The Mathematical Olympiad Handbook introduces readers to these challenging problems and aims to convince them that Olympiads are not just for a select minority. The book contains problems from the first 32 British Mathematical Olympiad (BMO) papers 1965-96 and gives hints and outline solutions to each problem from 1975 onwards. An overview is given of the basic mathematical skills needed, and a list of books for further reading is provided. Working through the exercises provides a valuable source of extension and enrichment for all pupils and adults interested in mathematics.

The Mathematical Olympiad Handbook: An introduction to problem solving based on the first 32 British Mathematical Olympiads 1965.......2007-01-12
A very good problem book for training mathematical olympiad.
Very usefull book........2001-08-29
I teach students, a mathematical olympic team, and this book will help them to get the training they need in order to have more medalls and achievements in their carreers. It has everything they need to do their exams and practice.
Excellent introduction to problem solving.......2001-06-03
The last time I competed in a mathematical competition was in elementary school. So when I recently picked up and tried to solve some old Olympiad and Putnam questions I was dumbfounded, to say the least. Then I discovered "The Mathematical Olympiad Handbook." This book is an excellent intro to problem solving. It is an immense help in dealing with the frustration of problems that will not yield. No solutions are given-- only outlines to the solutions(which you should only read part of if you get stuck, as the outlines will easily lead to a solution). This structure was an excellent choice as it gives novice problem solvers a chance to solve problems on their own with a little help if they need it. Highly recommend!
[people new to problem solving should also check out "The Art and Craft of Problem Solving" by Paul Zeitz]
A must-buy for problem-solvers........1999-01-06
This book has proven: The olympiad problems are not so hard as they appears. For every problem, there is a valuable solution outline ,teaching us how to attack it in a natural way. Furthermore, here is a good list of reference books.

Magic, indeed!.......2007-07-15
Wow, this book totally took me by surprise! The old cliche that you should never judge a book by its cover really hits home here. I was unsure if this was really a book for Witches, and I was pleasantly surprised. The book has great information and spells, and isn't geared to one specific path, so I really think that people with open minds and hearts of any faith could get a lot out of this book.
The photographs are beautiful, and timeless. The only thing missing is a guide telling me where I could find some of the beautiful pottery and glassware that are shown throughout the book. I really "connected" with this book, and can't reccommend it enough.
beautiful and magical.......2006-01-20
This is a wonderful little book and one of my favourites in my magical library. The lovely photographs are magazine quality and the layout of the text is modern and pleasing. That said this is also a great spellbook. Spells are simple enough for a novice but experienced hearthwitches should still find them effective, especially if they're like me who's really into creating a magical home, both spiritualy and aesthetically.

Book Description
From his debut on the vaudeville stage at 18 months old as "Traps, the Drum Wonder," through his tenure with Bunny Berigan, Artie Shaw and Tommy Dorsey, to fronting his own big band for 20 years, Buddy Rich lived up to the billing of "the world's greatest drummer." This comprehensive book covers his whole life story and features never-before-seen or published pictures, interviews, and the most complete discography ever compiled. Essential reading for drummers and jazz fans. Hardcover.
Customer Reviews:
overview.......1999-08-31
I do not yet own this book; although, I did glance at it in a Barnes in Noble in Connecticut. I was most impressed with all of the band organizations Buddy was part of that were listed in the back of the book. Undoubtedly, Rich was the World's Greatest Drummer. In my opinion, there consisted of 4 seperate, distinct drumming classes: The Hierarchy including Buddy, high and far above the rest. The second level included Krupa, not near Rich's calibar, but far above other drummer's of his time. The third level consisted of over great Big Band drummer's: Jo Jones, Sid Catlitt, Ray Mckinley, Alvin Stoller and Chick Webb. These were without a question great all-time drummers, who, in my opinion, attempted to emulate Rich's and almost more often that not, Krupa's style. Then, the last and disturbing drumming sounds consisted of people like Max Roach and Art Blakey. Their playing was as confused as the whole Be-Bop movement encompassing such overally recognized musicians like Gillespie, Parker, and Davis.
I cannot convince myself to this point how people can merely appreciate the sounds of early Gillespie and Parker and at the same rate have people like Goodman, Shaw, James, and Rich??
Thanks for your time.
A thorough documentary of this man's life and career........1999-01-12
"Mister, I Am The Band," by Doug Meriwether is a must for serious fans of Buddy Rich or for collectors of Buddy Rich recordings. The book is divided into three sections. The first is a biography of the great jazz drummer. It is written chronologically and in a documentary format. The information is presented factually. It is not written as well as "Traps, The Drum Wonder" by Mel Torme. However, it is a complement to the Torme book. In comparison, where Torme has assembled numerous quotes about Buddy by other drummers, Meriwether has carefully documented quotes about specific situations by associates of Buddy's. Meriwether is careful to list the person being quoted and when/where they are quoting. Where Torme's book seems to focus on the upbeat and positive, Meriwether does not skirt some of the issues such as Buddy's continuing problems with the IRS and his dissatisfaction with record companies. In this writer's opinion, it presents a very honest and factual account of the life of this unique personality. The accounts of his touring and performances leave the reader drained and wondering how could Buddy, particular in his later years, continue to keep up such a grueling schedule and be more on top of things than many of the much younger musicians who worked for him! The second section is a photo album that includes a number of excellent photos that I have not seen published previously. The only criticism regarding the photo section is that it is too short. For the serious Buddy Rich fan or collector, the most valuable section of this book is the complete discography and videography. This secition is well over 150 pages and includes every selection that Buddy played on. Included are the sources, whether it has been released or not, whether it appeared on previous or later releases, all personnel, each tune, and all labels both domestic and international, or whether the recording was private. This is not a book for the casual reader who wants to read a biography with an interesting title. For the true fan of Buddy Rich, the title tells it all and the book is a must. Overall, four stars.
