After my first ever tournament, I submitted my games to a grandmaster for advise on how I can improve my games. One thing he told me is that I am wanting in calculation skill. ...

The author is not a grandmaster but why would I care. He is a master and much much stronger than me. There are a lot of grandmaster authors out there but none of them, as far as I know, revealed the method of calculation as much as this author. No, not even in Soltis's "The Inner Game of Chess" and Kotov's "Think Like a Grandmaster". These grandmasters will always tell you to improve your calculation skills (Soltis also suggested playing games in the books without the chess set). But how many among them tells exactly how to improve this skill.

For example, do these grandmaster authors tell you that the very first thing to do is to memorize the chessboard? how to do this? that you should memorize the name of each square like c5 is a dark square and then you know that it is in c-file and 5th rank?

At last after a long search, I found it!

This book offers a chiastic analysis of the entire gospel of Mark. I've seen bits and pieces of this on the net and in commentaries, but I have never seen anyone do it for a whole book of the Bible. And on top of that, Professor Reid helps you understand what difference the structure is supposed to make. This is the book for anyone who ever wanted to know what to do with rhetoric and Chiasmus in the New Testament. Not just for scholars, but something that can really give value to your personal Bible study. It even has sermons by top teachers of homiletics.

This book is incredible. Not only do you get to know Frost and Reichert pretty intimately, you see how ideas can merge and interplay through the interesting relationship that they had. It has a lot of insight into the mind of Frost particularly. Andrew Marks has put together a true gem with this little book. I borrowed it from a friend and now I am going to get my own copy because it says so much that I know I will get even more from it the second and third time I read it.

The sailing ship La Belle was used in the 1600's in the beleaguered Fort St. Louis settlement's attempt to escape. But when the La Belle sank, the ship's occupants found themselves stranded, and then threatened by hostile Indians. Chapters detailing the history of the colony and the ship alternate with the modern account of the finding and recovering of the long-sunken ship and its artifacts. In 1995, the Texas Historical Commission discovered the sunken La Belle, and set to work extracting it and its cargo. The result of their labors and the amazing preserved relics of history fill the pages of this fascinating, informative, and highly recommended account, enhanced with black-and-white artwork.

Jarman and McDowell came along with their magazine, The Reaper, when it was needed most. They've done a lot to bring back narrative poetry (McDowell is the founder of Story Line Press). They wrote these essays together, and weren't afraid to say what they thought--they weren't afraid to make anyone mad (they remind me of Randall Jarrell in that way). Meg Schoerke's introduction and the first Reaper essay introduce those of us who are unfamiliar with The Reaper. "Navigating the Flood" takes on criticism, and they aren't afraid to name names. Their essay on Wallace Stevens discusses his impact on contemporary poetry and the narrative. Two essays, "The Reaper's Non-negotionable Demands" and "The Elephant Man of Poetry" (which is about Robert Frost) are the two best essays in the book, and two of the best essays about poetry. They attack the state of poetry with satire and humor in "The Reaper Interviews Jean Doh and Sean Dough" and "The Dogtown Letters", and both essays will make you laugh out loud. The sad thing is that it just as easily could have been real. In addition to four other essays, there is also a guide to writing narrative poetry. This collection is so great that you wish that The Reaper was still in circulation, and you hope that one day Jarman and McDowell will collect a "Best of" and release it soon.

Hello friends,

I've written Smart Medicine for a Healthy Prostate for men since most men, if they live long enough, will be affected by prostate disease; and women, since women also need to know how to help their loved ones prevent and treat prostate disease. To put matters in perspective, prostate cancer - the leading cause of cancer in men - begins as early as puberty and affects nearly every man if he lives long enough. Prostate enlargement, another common condition, affects half the men over the age of sixty, one third of whom need treatment. Finally, prostatitis accounts for more than two million doctor visits yearly. In fact, prostatitis is the most frequent reason that men under the age of fifty see a urologist.

That's the bad news. Now for the good news. Men don't have to become one of these statistics. Based upon information that I've gathered from scientific research, coupled with over twenty years of personal experience as a physician, urologic surgeon, and practitioner of conventional and alternative medicine, Smart Medicine for a Healthy Prostate will help men blessed with a healthy prostate keep it that way, and teach men challenged with prostate disease how to overcome it.

The book is organized into four chapters.

vThe first chapter gives an overview of the prostate and pertinent male anatomy.
vEach succeeding chapter guides readers through a different prostate disease. The first half of each chapter provides information about the natural history, evaluation, and state-of-the-art conventional therapies for the condition.
vThe second half of each chapter provides proven alternative therapies and teaches readers how to apply them.
vThe appendices contain a concise overview of nutritional and herbal supplements and the resource section provides additional valuable information.

I hope you enjoy reading my book. May you be blessed with abundant health and happiness.

The book contains many useful and comprehensive information about software and the Internet law in various aspects. I can say that, comparing with other similar law books I have read, this book does provide most cutting-edge issues, specifically software licensing.

And this book has played a big part-It contains marks from the begining-1749 and even goes into the earlier markers-it is great for those who are reseaching china and the marks on them-I found it at my local library-
It contains some pictures black and white-but you can still see details and the marks are wonderful though your eyes can blur if you look at them too long!
I would really like to thank Robert Copeland for writing this book and yes he is the great great grand son of the original Copeland-I highly recommend it to those who share an interest in all types of China and or Pottery.

Best thesaurus I've ever seen, now out of print (and my copy has walked off)

Interesting depiction of Darwin, Cap. Fitzroy and the indian Jemmy Button.
Also you will find the most primitive tribes and the most courageous and resolute missionaries.
It is possible to find a lot of things in this history: abnegation and faith, adventure and hope, but also emotions and sadness... over all: reality!
