Discover 'The Dispossessed', a landmark in science fiction literature, authored by the legendary Ursula K. Le Guin. This B-format paperback edition, released in 1999 by Orion, features 336 pages of profound narrative and philosophical exploration, making it a crucial addition to any serious reader's collection. As the #16 entry in the Millennium SF Masterworks series, 'The Dispossessed' stands out as a testament to groundbreaking storytelling and imaginative world-building.Set in a dualistic society contrasting utopian anarchism against capitalism, the book presents an exploration of freedom, society, and human condition through the eyes of protagonist Shevek. Le Guin’s compelling prose and richly drawn characters invite readers to consider complex societal structures and the pursuit of personal truths.
This celebrated novel won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards, solidifying its place in the pantheon of literary masterpieces. Critics rave that 'Le Guin is a writer of phenomenal power,' delivering themes that resonate deeply in our contemporary world. The Observer eloquently notes that her work prompts 'total belief,' reminiscent of the captivating narrative depth found in Tolkien's works.
Whether you're a lifelong fan of science fiction or exploring classics for the first time, 'The Dispossessed' is a must-read that promises to be revisited time and again, making it a perfect choice for book clubs or solo exploration of philosophical themes.

Useful with some scientific corroboration
Format: Paperback
Worth it as a primer to slide content and how it inter-relates to the delivery when giving a presentation. Very slightly laboured, like most TV documentaries nowadays - you feel they could move a bit faster (...yeah we got it the first time).

Simple and streamlined to meet anyone's needs
Format: Paperback
This book rocks! It provide a simple and structured way to define, develop and deliver a "Kick Ass" presentation that you can project or just use from the podium. It bring the audio and visual together to compliment a story to be shared. It has taken the hassel factor out of designing a presentation for anyone on any subject. Thank you!

Lasting value but degraded presentation
Format: Paperback
I've been a BBP fan since the first edition in 2005. The second edition in 2007 was a significant update and refinement. The latest, 2011 edition, is not worth buying if you already have the second edition -- the information is essentially the same but the 2011 is printed on cheap paper and the contrast between text and background for most of the illustrations is lousy, e.g. black text on a dark grey background, white text on a light grey background. I found it very difficult to read. The online version (O'Reilly Safari Books OnLine) is slightly better because it allows you to magnify the low contrast images which makes them slightly more legible. Thankfully, access to the online version is included with the ink-on-paper book free via a scratch-off, lottery ticket-type insert at the back of the book. If I had to do it again, I'd skip the paper book from Amazon and just purchase electronic access via O'Reilly. This version is more legible and you can print important pages that you might want hard copies of to highlight, mark-up, etc.

Powerful for the presenter
Format: Paperback
My boss's boss recently told me that our organization's presentations are boring data dumps that make her wish she was somewhere other than there listening but not really hearing or caring about this slide and dreading the next. She suggested that since I was going to be doing a lot of presentations in the future I should avoid that method and do better presentations. I immediately sought advice from our best presenter and learned that his method came from his gut feelings about what worked better. He has good instincts but to codify what he explained I decided to buy a book to learn why his approach works. The closest book with an effective explanation I could find is "beyond bullet points". It captured and expanded on the instinct my new mentor explained so that I could now understand how to use the slides to supplement the story and how to interweave the data so the whole presentation is more meaningful and memorable. I recommend this book to anyone looking for more of an answer on how to improve their presentations and eliminate the data dump in bullet points.

Good purchase and superb seller.
Format: Paperback
This is a very good book. I was very satisfied with the service I received, I got the book before the expected time. I was really supprised with the shape of the book...it was a used book but looked like brand new. I say this was superb purchase and the seller was top notch.
