Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-05-14 Summary: A-1 Biography of a 1970's Legendary Band ... I read this as a follow-up to the more recent Zep biography "When Giants Walked the Earth", and I was not disappointed. Both books are excellent and cover additional/different material. Entertaining and interesting. The material on the 1960's British rock scene was especially insightful. I hadn't realized that the major acts of that time that would grow to become legends had so much interaction and friendship i.e., the Stones, the Who, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, etc. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-15 Summary: Gets points for being the first book on this seminal band ... I read "Hammer of the Gods" when it first came out in the early 80s, well after Led Zeppelin broke up and somewhere between Robert Plant's solo MTV success and The Firm. At that time, a history of Led Zep was already long overdue. During the 70s, they were one of the biggest bands, if not THE biggest band, active in the US. I grew up in the Midwest in the 70s, and every guitar player of my generation was influenced in some way by Zeppelin, regardless of what style he ended up playing (yes, even the punk rockers). Nowadays ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-08-21 Summary: Rock Gods For Sure! ... Love this band they can do no wrong in my eyes. Definately the best heavy rock band ever. There will never be another Jimmy or Robert, the combination was magic. Loved the book hard to put it down, very raw! ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The members of Led Zeppelin are major deities in the pantheon of rock gods. The first and heaviest of the heavy metal monsters, they violently shook the foundations of rock music and took no prisoners on the road. Their tours were legendary, their lives were exalted—and in an era well known for sex and drugs, the mighty Zeppelin set an unattainable standard of excess and mythos for any band that tried to follow them. They were power, they were fantasy, they were black magic. No band...more

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: 2010-02-03 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
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-12 Summary: Hammer's German Grammar and Usage ... An excellent reference for beginning, intermediate, and advanced German speakers. Explanations are clear and thorough. I should have purchased this book years ago! ...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 of Darkness
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-06-20 Summary: Great book ... i read this originaly when i was younger and happened to find it again a definate good read. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-07-11 Summary: One of his best novels! ... The Hammer of Darkness is one of Modesitt's best novels. It's also one of the hardest to read and understand. It was about the third time I read the book before I realized that everything is written in the present tense. Modesitt also doesn't take the time to explain the broken dialog, the half thoughts of the characters, nor does he provide background for the characters. As a result I think many will find the narrative confusing and difficult to get through. I first purchased this novel back in 1985 or 1986. I've ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-06-26 Summary: Personal Favorite ... This book was either the first or one of the first I'd read of Modesitt's back around 1989-1990. I remember reading it once and thinking it was good...and then re-reading it and everything just sort of clicked. I remember doing atypical things as a College Student (in those days) and going to the trouble to buy another copy just to give to a friend to encourage him to read it - at the time, buying versus merely loaning was a "big thing". This story isn't Recluce although it's clearly in the same universe as all of ...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
