I was not really a bad golfer but my driving shots were not always accurate and long; then I made a habit of listening to this tape.

What you need to do is listen to the tape using a 'trigger gesture' to remind you of a calm and confident state of mind. You can recall this feeling by doing the 'trigger gesture' on the tee box. It's easy and very effective. I enjoy my driving more than ever.

Though I've purchased a few similar self-hypnosis tapes/CDs (such as 'Golf: The Mind-Body Connection' by Tom Saunders, M.D. and 'Mental Management for Great Golf' by Dr. Bee Epstein-Shepherd) I think the 'Integrating Mind & Body for Better Golf' series are the best because of the 'trigger gesture' method.

NOTE: I usually put a glove on my left hand when I use my driver. So I put it on and hold my real driver when I listen.

This book provides useful and realistic standards for creating the best possible interactive products and then tells you how to get there. The emphasis on both instructional and entertainment media is very valuable.

I first came across this book last year when I was feverishly studying for my 4th year medical exams. What really excited me was that I could look things up in the index and actually find a paragraph or two explaining my query, no matter how obscure the reference. Textbooks like Harrisons baffle me; why would I want to spend 45 minutes looking at the ten different times my word has been mentioned when all I want to know is what it means and when its important.

Anyway I think this textbook is very well set out and thouroughly comprehensive. Obviously its not a bed-time read, but its really helpful when you're stumped by a fact in a multi-guess paper or you have some obscure fact to look up and present to your consultant.

I have no hesitation in giving it 5 stars. Right now I'm waiting on the next edition....I hope it comes in soon.

This is a really helpful book for me and my speech project. I had to watch three alfred Hitchcock movies for the project. Fun class and Fun Book

I found this book to be downright revolutionary, especially in its examination of the Agent-Structure debate. What is at stake indeed! A must read for anyone who believes in freewill.

When I got this book out of the library, I never expected it to be so good. I sat down to read it late at night, after my family had gone to sleep, and I got chills. This book is not the obvious kind of scary book, with demons and ghouls. It goes much deeper than that. I could not put this book down. It changed the way I look at the world.

It's a wonderful book. Very interestingto me

Although this book is, by the standards of technical progress these days, "old," it remains flawless in describing not only what was known then, but what remains the bulk of biocatalytic theory and practice now.

Since this synthetic approach has already demonstrated itself to be a cornerstone of so many industries (particularly the pharmaceutical industry) -- and since so many people don't know much about it and yet *fear* it, an understanding such as this book gives could not be more important to everyone -- especially scientists.

The author of this book succeeded in scoring a bullseye on a fast-moving target! Anyone interested in the chemistry of the future -- the chemistry that *already* is essential for perhaps most of our latest drugs should get this book.

One final kudo for this book: it's price is reasonable! Compare it to similar books on technical subjects. This kind of thing usually costs three or four times what this one does.

This book is the most accessible, informative book on a subject that has so far eluded other authors if they meant to speak to anyone but their peers.

Get it. You will not be sorry.

At the end of "Iphigenia at Aulius," when the virgin daughter of Agamemnon is about to sacrificed offstage to appease the goddess Artemis, as the fatal blow is struck the young girl disappears and a stage appears in its place. Thus, at the last minute, Euripides refrains from suggesting a goddess demanded a human sacrifice. But what happened to the young girl? The dramatist provides his answer in "Iphigenia Among the Taurians" Artemis saved Iphigenia and brought her to the temple of the goddess in Tauris (which is in Thrace, although others take this to mean the Crimea). Meanwhile, her brother Orestes, still trying to appease the Furies for his crime of matricide, is ordered by the god Apollo to bring the statue of Artemis from Tauris to Athens. However, the Taurians have the quaint habit of sacrificing strangers to the goddess (so much for the goddess disdaining human sacrifice). Once again, Euripides is showing his disdain for Apollo; at first consideration you might think Apollo is setting up the reconciliation of brother and sister, but since it is up to the goddess Athena to help the pair, and Orestes's friend Pylades, to escape, the clearly implication is that Apollo wants Orestes dead.

"Iphigenia Among the Taurians" ("Iphigenia en Taurois," which is also translated as "Iphigenia in Tauris") is really more of a tragicomedy than a traditional Greek tragedy. Basically it consists of a key scene of recognition ("anagnorisis") and a clever escape by the main characters. The recognition scene between Orestes and Iphigenia is well done, and so atypical in that there is joy in the "anagnorisis" rather than pain or death (cf. "Oedipus the King"). "Iphigenia Among the Taurians" takes place after the Orestia trilogy by Aeschylus (Athena refers to the events of the final play), and one of the more interesting elements of this play is the idea that Orestes had been hallucinating when he was seeing the Furies pursuing him. This is a rather rational explanation for his behavior following the murder of Clytemnestra and Aegithus.

I was rather surprised to discover that Euripides wrote "Iphigenia Among the Taurians" in 413 BC, which was years before "Iphigenia at Aulis" was first performed in 406. I had naturally assumed that Euripides was following the character's chronology, but apparently this is not the case. My preference has always been for the latter play, but this is based on my interest in how Euripides foreshadows the conflict between Agamemnon and Achilles that serves as the opening conflict of Homer's epic poem, "The Iliad." This also speaks to the fact that to successfully teach and/or really appreciate this play, you simply have to understand the entire background of the characters, both in terms of "Iphigenia at Aulis" and "The Orestia." Certainly this can be done in the classroom through summaries of these plays, but it most assuredly has to be done.

Nicholas Carr's article is at the centre of a firestorm. At a time when the IT industry seems to be in a bottomless freefall, the suggestion that companies should spend even less on IT investments is unwelcome to many ears.

"IT Doesn't Matter" certainly isn't the first paper to point out that the IT industry has been maturing. Previous analysts' reports have compared IT to such rustbelt industries as automotive manufacture, power generation and railroads. Carr is the first person, however, to have written a studied, coherent and complete explanation for how this new generation of software needs to be managed from a business person's point of view - and to do so in the prestigious Harvard Business Review, where he is Editor-At-Large.

The responses to this paper have been the predictable cheers from those who detest everything to do with IT, and the furious rebuttals from those who see IT as the primary, or only, hope for a resurgence of our economy. Nicholas Carr's thesis defends neither extreme. His carefully-phrased paper differentiates between strategic and essential, affordable and cheap, innovative and valuable. This enhanced edition of the article that first appeared in the HBR in May 2003 is well worth reading.
