Private Lessons with Greatest Coach with Top 50 Players
My All-Time Favorite Golf Instruction Book
I have read and own a huge library of golf instruciton books in my life-long quest to improve my golf game. Many are filled with conflicting and confusing information. John Jacob's book is by far the best golf instruction book I have ever read. I poured over this book for hours, underlining profound information, anxious to get to the practice tee to try out his suggestions. I knew immediatley that I was reading a book written by a master teacher who profoundly understood the golf swing and was able to communicate that understanding in clear and simple language. I went out and bought a copy for a golfing friend the next day.

Please reprint this excellent book
This is the best introduction to Dutch business culture available. It is uncluttered, and makes connections between different aspects of Dutch behaviour to develop a broad picture suitable for business people from any background.
A bridge connecting two cultures
As a Dutch-American cross-cultural trainer I have read the gamut of literature dealing with this subject. Mr. Vossestein's 'Dealing with the Dutch' is the most concise, clearly written book on the subject. The book's non-judgemental approach gives future immigrants to the Netherlands a thorough understanding of and a simple guide line to life in this fascinating land by the sea.

They teach children glorious values for a lifetime.
Aesop's fables show us how some lessons never change. They represent an important part of the way we live our lives and hope to live our lives. These fables will be passed on for the rest of our lives

Infinitely simplistic view into the creation of heaven & hel
The aurora is a book of spirit not of understanding. The simplicity of the author is so profoundly penatrating that unless you have walked the tight-rope your self, the book will completely alude you. I believe this book is a major cornerstone for the student on the way to enlightenment. Boehme's presentation has been called clustered at best, but if ready, the word unfolds from within, and you will walk away a changed person.

Complementary/Alternative medicine
The authors present the topic of complementary and alternative medicine in a manner that is logical and orderly. They start with basic information regarding this type of medicine and progress through this emerging practice type. An excellent resource for anyone starting the inquiry into this area of practice and wants research based evidence to guide their investigation.

The final Armada!
As a professional neuroradiologist, I recommend this book to all radiologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons who wish to choose just one book in the field of cerebral angiography. In this era of MRA and CTA, this book can give readers not too much, not too little knowledge about normal anatomy and pathological findings. Figures were clearly drawn and clinical DSA images were carefully chosen. Maybe those who wish to become professional neurointerventionists prefer those historical books edited by Dr. Newton, but I suppose even such people would love this book and read it daily.

A Short But Sweet Look At The Life Of The 70's Pop Star
This book gives you a small glimpse of Elton John's career up to 1976. It is not a really long book, but it holds your interest. The complicated upbringing of Elton when he was known by his birth name Reginald Dwight. And how he struggled to be seen and heard by his stern father and schoolmates. How music became his salvation through this trying period, and his mother's encouragement to stick with pop music which Elton loved and felt he could best express himself, despite the objections of his father who demanded that he stick with the classics. Elton's tenure in the band Bluesology and how he took the names of two of it's leaders Elton Dean and Long John Baldry and made them his own. He even gave himself a new middle name: Hercules. His determination to write and perform his own songs, and how he found a kindred spirit in Lyricist Bernie Taupin. His debut at the club trubadour in Los Angeles in 1970, and his subsequent success with his self titled debut album, and all the success that followed after. I think that Elton would be happy that he followed his dream of music superstardom instead of following in his father's footsteps. Because of that, you're bound not to see a sign bearing the name Reginald Dwight and Co., which is what probably would have happened to him had he listened to his dad. We're the lucky ones because it didn't happen that way, and we would have missed out on a lot of great music if it had.

The framers of the Constitution in their own words
An essential book for every American both young or old, male or female, Democrat or Republican. A delightful discovery on the need of God and guns (or perhaps swords) in the United States and the intolerance of a government in charge of all but answerable to noone. An undeniably perfect fit for todays culture.
Discover your roots from the men that gave their lives for the signing of the Constitution; true heroes. Their resolve was unquestionable and the love for country without reproach.
They brought us so far. We've walked away. Read it and weep. BK

This will help fix what ails your game
Long recognized as the master teacher to all the teachers who are now so famous on tv, Jacobs here has a mighty instruction book.
Based on his revolutionary idea of ball flight feedback, one can easily find what pattern one's shots are taking, then apply the remedies listed for that ailment.
His two turns and a swing is so simple, but profound. If there is one swing thought I fall back on, this is it. Jacobs concepts are so easy to follow and apply. Soon it will seem as though one can diagnose on the spot and correct.
Monumental classic which more golfers could benefit from using.

He's got an approach to the game which is unique, trys to keep it simple, yet unique to each individual.
Here in this wonderful book at the millenium, he takes 50 of the game's best, from Hogan to Nicklaus, Jones, Palmer, Faldo, Sned, Walter Hagen, Olazabal, Norman, Byron Nelson, Watson, Trevino, Palmer and more, and shows us what each one of them exhibits about the game that we can learn from.
The one for me that gives remarkable results is Hale Irwin, who spent two whole weeks doing nothing but hitting balls with his feet together: this gets the hands and arms swinging freely.
A collector's item, with magnificent photos, art work, and wonderful commentary by this master teacher.
Get this book, it will give you enjoyment and hints for improving your swing.
