Customer Reviews —

Hammer's German Grammar and Usage (Hodder Arnold Publication)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-09-03 Summary: Wow ... My wife and I have been trying to self-teach ourselves German for years, and we still have absolutely no clue about the intricacies of the language. When do you use what gender? How do ab_en verbs work again? And conjugation- it's a mess. Until you pick up Hammer's German Grammar and Usage. There's so much in here that's left completely out of other books. I'm quite fluent in German alcohol, but I never realized that there's such a simple pattern to the gender (der everything, except for das Bier). These simple facts ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-06-22 Summary: Great resource ... This is probably the best you can get. It gives detailed explanations of any problems you may encounter in learning German and quite often really useful tips at how to simplify things. If you're like me it's best to use this book together with tons of reading material so that you can get enough practice. I can never remember all the grammar, inflections and other forms without seeing them in writing many times when reading books (they have to be entertaining). Recently I read Die Biene Maja und Ihre Abenteuer (German ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-03 Summary: Prima! ... This book is absolutely amazing! I have taken German for about three years in college and two in graduate school. All of those "exceptions" to the rule are explained in detail with plenty of examples. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to master the language, teach, or to the intermediate to advanced student. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-04-28 Summary: The Book I Want On A Desert Island ... This is hands-down the single book I would want to have if stranded on a desert island. Words cannot describe the awesomeness that is this book. Mr. Durrell's masterpiece demands superlatives. As far as printed material goes, this is all you need to go from intermediate to fluent in German. (Of course you still need to practice speaking, listening, and writing to become fluent). I am a U.S. citizen now living in Germany, and this book vastly improved my German. I can't say enough about it. Get it! Keep a copy next ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Hammer's German Grammar and Usage has long occupied a pre-eminent position in the field of German studies. Unrestricted to the formal written language, it is firmly based on current usage, covering all the main grammatical phenomena of German and embracing regional variations of the modern standard language. The combination of reference grammar and manual of current usage has proved invaluable for students and teachers of German at intermediate and advanced level....more
The Hammer Story
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-18 Summary: Excellent Overview ... I am not normally a fan of "coffee table" books. But, in this case, I am happy to make an exception. In this large volume, the editors essentially try to tell the story of Hammer Studios, the movie production company that went from obscurity to legend in the genre of horror and suspense. It is, as other reviews quite correctly point out, not complete, so it cannot be called a full history. But, I still give it five stars for superb editing, superior physical construction and layout, and the synposes of most of Hammer's ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-18 Summary: The Haunted House That Hammer Built ... Alan Barnes and Marcus Hearn's THE HAMMER STORY is an exhaustive historical study of the horror films produced by Britain's Hammer Studios from the 1950s to the 1970s. For each film, the book offers a story synopsis, production history, and a discussion of critical and popular reaction. Also, the book includes a short history of the studio itself and information on those who helmed and shaped it over the years, and short biographies of some of the stars, screenwriters, and directors of various films are scattered throughout. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-07-21 Summary: Stylish Yet Incomplete Survey of Hammer ... First off, Titan Books should be commended for producing a very attractive, informative volume with lots of great photos concerning the history of Hammer Studios. The key films are discussed in depth, usually with two pages devoted to behind-the-scenes info regarding all your favorites. My one quibble would be with what the book isn't -- this is not a comprehensive survey of Hammer's entire output. The b&w thrillers are glossed over as are the comedies, the swashbucklers and the forgotten noirs. All well and good if ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-06-27 Summary: Long, Live Hammer Films ... This book has everything you would want to know about Hammer Studios, great artwork, wonderful summaries and much more. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Fifty years ago, Hammer Films released The Curse of Frankenstein. The now-legendary British company went on to make such classics as Dracula (and its many sequels), making international stars out of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, changing the face of horror cinema, and inspiring a generation of Hollywood filmmakers, including George Lucas, Martin Scorsese and Tim Burton. Now, for the first time, Hammer have given their active backing to an authorised history of the company, and have...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-07 Summary: Mechanized warfare in the far future ... This is the first in a three volume compilation of all the Hammer's Slammers stories (short stories, novellas, and novels) written by David Drake. Hammer's Slammers is a fictional mercenary armored regiment that is hired out by various organizations, planetary governments, commercial interests, etc. to fight their battles. The Slammers typically provide the mobile muscle for any indigenous forces and have proven decisive in a large number of campaigns. The unit's name is derived from that of its commander/owner, Alois ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-12-17 Summary: More of a Best Of than Complete ... I actually bought the e-book directly from Baen, and was hoping that it would contain all of his stories. However, I was mildly disappointed to find that it was more of a "Best Of" than the "Complete" Hammer's Slammers, especially since many of the early books like The Warrior is out of print. That said, I am really enjoying reading some stories that I haven't read in many many moons. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | With a veteran’s eye for the harsh and gritty details of war, David Drake depicts a futuristic analog of tank combat in his Hammer’s Slammers fiction. The Slammers are neither cartoon heroes nor propaganda villains; rather they are competent professionals engaged in a deadly business. The inevitable conflicts between policy, necessity, and human nature make Drake’s Slammers fiction instantly identifiable and utterly compelling. This is the first of a three volume set presenting for...more
Under the Grammar Hammer
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2006-11-10 Summary: a dreamy boy's view of grammar ... Mr. Cazort was apparently never one for rules. This is evident in his approach to grammar [and other things, it seems]. Though dry in spots, he unleashes his wetness in some of the later chapters. This book is for beginners and professionals alike when you want to know if it sounds "write." Never "hard core," often "old corps," this is sound advice from a real master of the genre. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2000-06-15 Summary: Help for the Grammatically Challenged ... If you are confounded by "fickle fragments, subterranean subjects, pliant pronouns, or homonyms from Hell," Douglas Cazort offers help for those who transgress against the conventions of formal English. In UNDER THE GRAMMAR HAMMER, Cazort examines the 25 most significant grammatical errors committed by violators he identifies as "educated Americans." This concise reference book provides quick remedies for lessening the blows from hammers wielded by defenders of the correct word. Replete with colorful anecdotes and ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2000-06-15 Summary: Grammar for Students and New Teachers ... The humor, cartoons, and folksy style of this book make it easy to read and study. Highly useful for helping teachers to learn the grammar they most need in order to help students learn to edit for these twenty "most important" grammar mistakes, the book is great for student use, too. It includes a reassuring chapter titled "You Know More Grammar than You Know You Know, and You Need to Learn Less than you Think." The last chapter recommends "America Lighten Up." ...more
