Eye-Opening description of how we differ and what it means.
We are much different physiologically than we know! This book's author (the discoverer of folic acid and pantothenic acid)specialized in the ways that humans differ biochemically and physically. He writes in plain, easy-to-understand English and talks about what his findings mean. This book made a profound difference in the way I looked at health and diet.

Woof!: A captivating, timeless classic
When I first read the book Woof! by Alan Ahlberg, I loved it. I was eight years old at the time, living in England, and the book was a Book Club special at school. It was a very popular book at that time and it was later followed by a TV show which I also enjoyed. I think the main reason I enjoyed the book so much is because of the simple idea that you can become a dog, have an adventure in your own town, do whatever you wanted for anyone, and still be able to get away with it while saving the day in the end. I get it out every now and again to read it just to bring back the days of childhood innocence and dreams. This book is certainly a dream maker. I get excited even now at the age of 17 to think about being able to be a dog and do all the things Eric does in the book. The end of the story provides a catch too which should appeal more to an older reader. Woof! is an extraordinary book, even 13 years after its release. I can't wait for my children to read it.

Excellent resource
Truly wonderful "high end" scholarship in the book of Mark. Redactional and source criticism doesn't get any better (in my humble accessment). It is truly sad that Guelich passed away and won't be giving us the second volume, although I expect Evans (who will author the follow up) will do an excellent job. Anyone who wants to know where scholarship is at regarding this gospel, should check this out. Highly recommended by other NT scholars, such as RE Brown, Pheme Perkins.

What a difference inclusive language makes.
I think Joann Haugerud does an excellent job of taking on the challenge of presenting some of the Bible's most powerful books in inclusive (non-sexist) language. A good alternative for women and men who are sensitive to sexism in these traditional texts.

Good book about great program
WordPerfect 3.5 for Macs for Dummies nicely exposes the strong attributes of this word-processing program that actually outshines its rivals in key areas.

One of these attributes, covered by the book comprehensively, is the interface consisting of tabs along the top of the window, much like a web browser, allowing for incredibly easy access to features like fonts, colors, style sheets, tables, indexes, tables of contents, and much more. This means no more laboriously scrolling through menus or trying to guess keyboard combinations in desperate attempts to wrangle output from the application.

Another superb feature thoroughly addressed in this book is style sheets. Customizing WordPerfect for ideal hyphenation, color coordination, leading (line spacing), other paragraph settings, and more is simple and robust.

Yet another feature covered here is not even conveniently offered by rival programs: kerning (spacing between characters). Anyone working on design projects quickly discovers that spacing between characters is often too wide or too narrow. No problem here, since WordPerfect offers kerning on the fly, a unique offering for a word processor!

Read this book to not only enjoy a well-written publication, but also to streamline and professionalize your work--easily and enjoyably!

The Best Short Book about WWII
(by E.M. Singer, author of "Mother Flies Hurricanes") This is the companion book to the 26-hour TV series, but it isn't a blow-by-blow account of the same. Even though the author claims that his book "fills in the gaps" of the video series, you could probably read it far less time than it would take to watch the series! "The World at War" is a terrific example of the KISS (Keep it simple, stupid!) principle of historical analysis: It's short, sweet, and to the point, and doesn't require you to slog through pages of details and minutia to get to the heart of things. The writing itself is concise, direct, and a wonder to behold. Even if you aren't interested in WWII (but you probably are, since you're reading this!) Mark Arnold-Forster's book is a must read!

Imagining Dream Rounds and Reliving Great Golf Shots!
Summary: This 5th edition of The World Atlas of Golf belongs in the library of every golfer who wants to appreciate more of the game's rich history . . . and have a Walter Mittyish look at courses that will probably never be seen in person. Over 70 courses get the deluxe treatment of looking at the course layout, the score card, and an in-depth evaluation of the most famous holes. Thorough essays recount the history of the course, including the most memorable golf moments there. Beautiful color photographs capture the holes, and famous historic shots share the winning and losing. Afficionados will appreciate the pin-point descriptions of how to play the world's most demanding holes. The book also boasts a brief gazetteer of over 100 courses providing a one-third page thumbnail sketch of their layout and history. The book also boasts excellent, brief essays on the development of golf course design.

Review: This book will appeal to those who have played these wonderful courses and want to relive the experience, those who wish to know more about the rich history of the world's most challenging holes, and those who are curious about why golfers everywhere rave about certain holes and courses. The material is so rich and detailed that any golf fan could happily spend days with this book and just scratch its surface. A fan could easily extend enjoyment of the book by getting videos of famous championships to see the live action that is captured here in photographs and essays.

The courses are selected from around the world, but are primarily from Europe and the United States. Reflecting the game's heritage, the courses examined start with those in Scotland and proceed from there throughout the British Isles and Eire. From there, you transfer to the European mainland. Next, you go the North America. Asia, Africa, and South America are your final stops.

Naturally, the courses include such standards as St. Andrews's Old Course, Royal Troon, Carnoustie, Royal Dornoch, Muirfield, Turnberry, Loch Lomond, Royal Liverpool, Royal Birkdale, Ballybunion, Valderrama, Shinnecock Hills, Augusta National, Cypress Point, Pebble Beach, Oakmont, Baltusrol, The Country Club, Olympic, Winged Foot, Pinehurst No. 2, Seminole, Merion, Pine Valley, Medinah, Oakland Hills, Dorado Beach and the Mid Ocean in Bermuda. But you will also get exposed to courses that you may not know as well like Sotogrande in Spain and Banff in Canada.

As an example of the hole-by-hole analysis, the book early on looks at the famous 17th on the Old Course at St. Andrews. A hotel cuts off the right side of the hole of this tough par four, also referred to as the Road Hole. In 1995, John Daly won the British Open there in part by hitting a tremendous drive around the hotel and into the fairway. He was able to hit onto the green from there with a 7 iron. The book shows the outline of the hotel, where Daly's ball went, and where most players shoot. Naturally, this looks easy on paper. When I tried the same thing with my drive, my ball went just a bit too far right and disappeared into an area near the foundation of the hotel, out of bounds. I came away much more impressed with Daly's feat.

With the knowledge this atlas can give you, you will find yourself able to take on challenges that great golfers have lived up to before you. You may not match them (and probably won't), but you will enjoy the feeling of trying on the challenging swings of the greats. It'll be a great thrill when you do!

After you finish enjoying this book a few times, think about where else in life you would enjoy reliving great moments of those who have gone before. How can you use those experiences to inspire you to try more, accomplish more, and have more fulfillment in everything you do?

"Take dead aim."

Don't Wait Until It's Too Late
This book is very informative and current. It is an eye-opening read, a must for every christian. Don't wait until it's too late to make a the right decision about eternity. Be informed. This book will help you to understand the events that are being orchestrated to usher in the one world government that the bible predicts. It is happening while America "is mesmerized by silly TV sitcoms, unending sports programs, materialism, and the Internet."

America is in a position, through President Clinton's Executive Orders to be given away to the United Nations. This will end life as we know it and put an end to the freedom that we have enjoyed.

Great Sourcebook for the World of Darkness
This book was great, it details the Denizens of Tokyo's world of Darkness, it also gives maps and a history of Tokyo, it's worth buying if you want to stage a game either in Tokyo or have several sessions in Tokyo before spanning out through the rest of Japan/The Middle Kingdom/The world.
