	Amazon.com: Dune Encyclopedia: Books: Willis McNelly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		I got hooked on Dune many years ago as a teenager, right around the time Lynch's movie was coming out, and I remember flipping through the Dune Encyclopedia in a bookstore before I read the books.
		The authors of the three Dune prequels (House Atreides, House Harkonnen, and House Corrino) have repudiated The Dune Encyclopedia and it is very unlikely to be reprinted because parts are inconsistent with the prequels.
		The Dune encyclopedia should be read by all Dune fans as it provides some answers to the questions raised in the first four books of the series.

	dune - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		Dunes that are not stabilized by vegetation have a tendency to migrate, driven by the prevailing wind.
		Transverse dunes usually form where wind blows quite constantly from one direction across expanses of loose sand; the windward slope is typically gentle, and the lee side, where the sand blown over the crest seeks its natural angle of repose, is steep.
		One value of dunes is their absorption of rain, which helps to raise the level of the water table and thus produces oases in some areas and provides accessible sources of water through rather shallow wells.

	Dune (novel)
		Dune is a science fiction novel by Frank Herbert.
		Dune is the sole source of melange, a "spice" that gives prescience and prolongs the user's lifespan; with it the Guild Navigators see a path through foldspace, and the Bene Gesserit can enhance their abilities.
		Dune was awarded the Nebula award and tied for the Hugo award.

	Dune Encyclopedia
		Frank Herbert's son, Brian Herbert, writing with Kevin J. Anderson, IS continuing to establish the canon of the DUNE universe.
		This is being done with the full approval of the owner of the DUNE copyright, the Herbert Limited Partnership.
		Likewise, in writing their DUNE novels (beginning with DUNE: HOUSE ATREIDES), Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson have exclusively used, and will continue to use, Frank Herbert's original notes as well as their own imaginations, and not THE DUNE ENCYCLOPEDIA.

	What's So Great About Dune?
		Dune would still have been a viable, albeit less memorable, novel if Herbert had focused on the politics of the vast, interplanetary Imperium to the exclusion of the everyday life of his desert planet.
		Dune is filled with the history, laws and customs of the Imperium, each new bit of information contributing a brush-stroke of nuance to Herbert's sprawling canvas where perspective ranges in dizzying variety from the microcosmic world of flukes and water droplets to the cosmic pageantry of galactic history.
		As for the reprints themselves, the Dune universe continues to gain new fans despite the fact that the cliffhanger ending of Chapterhouse: Dune, the sixth book, would be left permanently unresolved by Herbert's death.

	Dune
		Dune: Arrakis, (derived from the Arabic name ar-rāqiṣ, "the dancer", originally a star-name for Mu Draconis) later Rakis (known colloquially as "Dune") is a fictional desert planet featured in the Dune novels by Frank Herbert, where it is the home of the Fremen (Zensunni wanderers) and later, the Imperial Capital under Muad'Dib's Empire.
		Dune is set far in the future amidst a sprawling feudal galactic empire where planetary fiefdoms are controlled by noble Houses that owe allegiance to the Imperial House Corrino.
		Hunters of Dune is the first of two breathtaking journeys into the world of Dune as it remakes itself in a new form after its greatest crisis.

		Dune was made into a movie of the same title, and is available on video.
		Dune I is a graphic adventure game based on both the book and the movie, in which players take the role of Paul.
		The game roughly follows the plot of the first "Dune" novel, though there are a number of plot twists which were introduced, presumably to let fans enjoy some unpredictability rather than plodding through a plot they already know by heart.

	Star Wars Origins - Frank Herbert's Dune (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Dune mentions the religion of the Zensunni, presumably a combination of "Zen" and "Sunni." The word "Sunni" is the nickname for ahl al-sunnah wa-l-jamaa ("The people who follow the traditions of Muhammad and his tribe", Arabic).
		Dune was strongly influenced by Lawrence: Paul is the messianic man of two tribes leading the Jihad, the Beduins are the Fremen, the Harkonnens are the Turks, the Sardaukar are German Troops, and the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV represents both the German government and the British crown.
		Dune fans may be unpleasantly surprised to discover that (unless we assume that Brian Herbert is flat-out lying in his father's biography, which seems unlikely), Frank Herbert was emotionally and even physically abusive to his children.

	Miscellaneous Dune Books - Giedi Prime - Dune
		Frank Herbert's Dune is widely known as the science fiction equivalent of The Lord of the Rings, and The Road to Dune is a companion work comparable to The Silmarillion, shedding light on and following the remarkable development of the bestselling science fiction novel of all time.
		A Dune fan himself, and a seasoned columnist for the New York Post, he visited the top-secret Dune set many times, working on location to create what he calls 'the first making-of book to be a filled with surprises as the film itself'.
		This concise supplement to Dune and other works by Frank Herbert helps students understand the overall structure of the novel, actions and motivations of the characters, and the social and cultural perspectives of the author.

	Pudding Time!: Stop the Inanity: Dune: Butlerian Jihad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Core to "Dune" is society's aversion to "thinking machines." This aversion is attributed to the lasting impact of "The Butlerian Jihad," a religious upheaval in reaction to the near extinction of humans at the hand of sentient computers.
		As such, it's certainly an area of fascination for Dune fans: The sort of cataclysmic intensity with which such a thing would have played out to leave its mark on humanity 10,000 years later would have to be awesome, and surely the story behind such a thing would be epic.
		Anyone who cared enough about "Dune" to own the encyclopedia probably read the entries pretty closely and figured out pretty quickly that some of the content was meant to be a humourous jape on both over-earnest fans and modern academics.

	Dune Encyclopedia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dune Encyclopedia describes in great detail many aspects of the Dune universe not found in the novels themselves, such as biographies of the major characters, the languages of Fremen, Galach, and Spacing Guild (including alphabets and pronunciation), and shortened summaries of the plots of the novels.
		The encyclopedia also includes explanations of the armies, major schools (Bene Gesserit, Mentats, Sword Masters of Ginaz, etc.), and major industries (including the spice melange), as well as descriptions of future technologies and artwork on the major characters and concepts of the novels.
		In the Encyclopedia, the Butlerian Jihad is attributed to "Jehanne Butler"; in the Legends of Dune series, it is established that Serena Butler and her son Manion are the namesakes of the Jihad.

	Review -- Dune: House Atreides by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson
		It is set about fifty years before the beginning of Dune, when Paul Atreides' father Leto is still a young man.
		New hands have taken it over, and even if one pair does belong to his son, they still can only echo what was established, guess at the unverbalized intentions that lay in the original creator's mind.
		Perhaps the best way to read this is not as a real addition to the Dune cannon, but as a sort of authorized, legal fan-fiction.

	Dune
		The major inhabitants of the planet, a race known as the Fremen, referred to the planet as Dune because of its complete-desert topography.
		They are excellent survivors living on a hostile planet and are known for their ability to waste little water, since it is a rare commodity on a completely desert planet.
		The rest of the Imperium was forced to acknowledge his rule because he and his Fremen had control of the only planet that could manufacture the spice melange and they claimed that they would destroy it if they didn't bow to Paul Muad'Dib Atreides as their new emperor.

	Second Dune Prequel Disappoints
		Dune, the history of the gigantic Imperium of the Padishah Emperors stretches back over 10,000 years.
		The curse of Dune: House Harkonnen is that Old Terra pops up on a regular basis, turning what could have been a worthy follow-up Herbert's original work into a derivative shadow of a classic of science fiction world-building.
		Sadly, this is Dune, and that million dollars could have paid the advances of a hundred new authors with something original to say.

	LynchNet Dune - Perfect Collection DVD review
		Dune is presented in it's original aspect ratio of 2.35:1, though there's a slight bit of the image cropped off the left side.
		While many regard Dune as one of Lynch's lesser works, the TV cut makes it clear just how much worse the film can be out of his hands.
		Next we have the Dune Encyclopedia, but don't confuse it with the long out of print book by Dr. Willis E. McNelly of the same name.

		Dune is the title of an award winning American science fiction masterpiece written by Frank Herbert (1920-1986) published in 1965.

		Daughter of Leto Atreides I and Jessica, Alia was in vitro when Jessica underwent the "spice agony" ceremony, and thereby possessed the knowledge of her "other memories" from before even birth.
		Dune covers the life of Paul Atriedes from his late teens, shortly before his family is given the planet of Arrakis (Dune) to govern, replacing the Atreides arch-enemies, the Harkonnens.
		The Harkonnens plot and carry out a coup-de-etat that leads to the capture and murder of Duke Leto Atreides I, Paul's father, but fails to kill Paul or his Bene Gesserit mother, Jessica.

	Frank Herbert's Dune: Director's Cut: Special Edition: 3 - Disc Set Review
		Both adaptations have their obvious problems, but both are worth seeing, especially if they will inspire the viewers to go out and buy or borrow a copy of the book and read it for themselves.
		The featurette is a truncated 25-minute version from "The Secrets Of Frank Herbert's Dune" DVD, which included an 80-minute look behind the scenes at the making of the film if you were to buy the book and DVD set.
		There is also a videotaped interview with John Harrison as well as a pre-production art gallery sneak peak at the upcoming miniseries sequel, “Children Of Dune,” which is expected to debut possibly in late 2003 on Sci-Fi.

	DUNE - The BESM Way - RPGnet Forums
		Once read a review of The Dune Encyclopedia when it came out in 1985 and Dave Langford (the reviewer - White Dwarf) remarked that you never need buy a DUNE RPG if it comes out (back in '85), he recokned that all you needed was the Encyclopedia and a head for conversions etc. I agree.
		About the only good thing I can say about the very rare Dune RPG was that I bought it for 40 bucks and solf it on ebay for 150.
		The Dune Encyclopedia is one of the coolest books ever (barring such entries as the book to my left, The Rediscovery of Man: the Complete Short Fiction of Cordwainer Smith).
