This official guide, created with the full cooperation of Black Isle Studios, features comprehensive walkthroughs of every level, detailed maps, and in-depth strategies and statistics.Customer Reviews:
Only for novice gamers.......2001-07-11
Despite this wealth of information, I believe that this book does not provide a good value for gamers. First of all, 99% of these "secrets" and strategies can be found for free on the internet. Secondly, the game manuals (supplied with the game) are quite comprehensive themselves, meaning that this strategy guide is often just repeating information that has already been presented. But even more importantly, this book provides so much information as to take all the fun out of playing the game.
Icewind Dale and Heart of Winter are very "linear" games. In other words, there is usually only one path to take. So the fun comes from building up your party of brave adventurers through hard-fought battles with terrible monsters. The manual deliberately leaves out all the tiny details on how best to group your party, or what weapons to use in different situations, leaving these things for the player to discover. Unfortunately, the manual reveals all this and more, and I feel that it leaves almost nothing for the player to discover on his/her own. I realize some people will consider my comments to be unfair criticism; after all, this is a strategy guide and it is *supposed* to reveal the techniques that work! Plus, the argument continues, you don't *have* to read those sections.
To its credit, this strategy guide does provide some very useful suggestions on one of the most important parts of the game: creating your characters. You will live (or die!) with these characters for the rest of the game, and it is important to create a well-balanced party, not to mention one that you'll enjoy playing with. Here the guide really does shine, helping players choose from the many player types available. Yet once again, I must point out that this information is available for free on various internet fan sites.
So if you are a novice gamer, and Heart of Winter has you stuck and frustrated -- and if you like holding a book in your lap -- then this guide will be a good purchase. But for everyone else, I'd suggest saving your money.

Secrets of the Snow: Visual Clues to Avalanche and Ski Conditions
Edward R. Lachapelle Manufacturer: University of Washington Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0295981512 |
Book Description
The surface of fallen snow--its contours and texture--can tell the interested observer much about the forces that shaped it and about its stability and what it is likely to do. Will it be good for skiing or for packing as a snowball? Will it slide? Is it dangerous? Secrets of the Snow is an overview of the easily visible aspects of snow in the alpine mountain landscape, serving as a companion volume to the author's Field Guide to Snow Crystals, which examines snow at the microscopic level. Describing visual snow features and textures arising from climate, wind-drift, layering, solar radiation, and melting, Secrets of the Snow explains how snow may be "read" for information on avalanche formation and suitability for winter sports. Closely linked photographs and text illustrate the shapes, forms, and textures found at the surface of winter snow covers; describe their origins in wind and weather conditions; and guide the reader in interpreting these features to predict snow behavior. Secrets of the Snow is essential for winter sports enthusiasts, mountaineers, and avalanche-safety specialists.

ASIN: 089886643X |
Book Description
Living our lives in well-heated homes, cars, and offices, we rarely view hypothermia or frostbite as anything that will happen to us. Yet, as Hal Weiss explains, something as simple as becoming stranded on a winter commute, or getting wet and cold at a football game can lead to problems. In this simple, well-organized book, Weiss guides readers through the basics of how the body loses heat; how to determine the best clothing combinations for any activity; and how to prepare for and survive a cold-weather emergency. Winter outdoor enthusiasts will find tips on how to camp in winter along with basic plans for types of snow caves and shelters. Additional sections cover hypothermia prevention and treatment; treatment for frostbite; and tips for stocking your home and car with an emergency kit.Customer Reviews:

Ilg offers yearround sport-specific training prescriptions, exercise descriptions, nutritional guidance, and photos from his thirteen-year span as a nationally sponsored multisport athlete.
The perfectly balanced training regimens in "The Winter Athlete" are appropriate for winter competitors, summer competitors who need to maintain year-round peak condition, and recreational athletes who just want to get outdoors and stay in shape.

ilg's winter athlete.......2000-02-13
nearly one third of the book is devoted to sport specific training programs-complete with illustrations-distilled from a lifetime devoted to outdoor sport both competitive and non competitive.
besides nordic and alpine skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, ice climbing and mountaineering, the winter athlete covers a lot of ground that's not snow covered as well. there are chapters on cycling (road & mtb), skating, rock climbing, trail running, kayaking . .
there is something in this book for everyone. everytime i pick it up i learn something new.
along with sport specific training advice, ilg also covers general strength and endurance training, nutrition, flexibility and mental preparation.
ilg's training philosophy is not without it's critics. he believes that everything an athlete does can be considered training. how you live your life is how you perform your sport. ilg is apt to tell a weight lifter to free his mind and his body will follow or a runner to "run with the earth not upon it." ilg's writing style is informative and fun. he loves the natural world and it shows.
you can accept his philosophy or not. for the humble sum of twenty bucks you get a stunning buffet of information that you can partake of or leave alone.
what more can i say. winter athlete rocks.

Outstanding "how to" and "preparation for" book........1998-11-27
This book saved me from making over $300 in unecessary equipment purchaes. I was thinking about buying a Flasher sonar unit for the trip, but descriptions accompanied by pictures of LCR units in this volume made me realize that one of my current units will work just fine on ice, and now I know how to accurately interpret the signals when the unit is stationary as opposed to moving in a boat.
This is one of the best fishing books I have ever read.
