written for homeschooling families looking to supplement their PE programs with a wider range of activities that can be used to teach children fitness, movement and sports skills.

The author, Guy Bailey, wrote The Ultimate Homeschool Physical Education Game Book after sensing such a need in homeschooling parents for activities. He has worked in Physical Education for over 22 years and desires to see children equipped "with a love of movement and the basic skills necessary to participate in an active lifestyle now and as adults."

Homeschooling parents are faced with a few specific problems when it comes to Physical Education. One is varying ages and levels of their children. Other problems facing homeschooling parents are small class sizes, a backyard vs gymnasium setting, and the lack of expensive equipment. Guy Bailey listened to homeschooling parents and came up with solutions.

The activities listed in the book need only 2-4 children and require inexpensive equipment, much of which is probably already in your home. All are easily played in your backyard and some are even suited perfectly for indoor play during winter months. Through this book he proved that quality PE games can be played with fewer children in smaller areas.

In the beginning of the book are tips for successfully using the games in a PE curriculum. The games are divided into 10 sections by the equipment used: Basketball, Football, Soccer, Softball, Raquet and Net, Recreational Sports, Playground Games, More PE Games with a Homeschool Twist, Fitness Building, Rope Jumping Activities. This allows the homeschooling parent to make use of equipment they already have on hand. Sections are followed by a glossary of terms familiar to that sport. Each game has quick listings for Purpose, Number of Players, Age Levels, Equipment, and Instructions. The games themselves are easily explained and illustrated by simple drawings. In the back of the book are Appendices that include tips for parents, National Standards in PE and where to find more information and resources.

I highly recommend the book for parents who want to get their children enthusiastic about fitness or need more excitement in their PE programs.

The Ultimate Homeschool Physical Education Game Book by physical education instructor and sports coach Guy Bailey is a very highly recommended guide for homeschooling parents which is filled from cover to cover with games and activities designed to teach children fitness, sports skills, and the joy of exercise. From simplified versions of traditional favorites such as basketball, football, soccer, and softball, to variants of tag, rope jumping, and playground games such as kickball, The Ultimate Homeschool Physical Education Game Book is an invaluable and "user friendly" resource which is dearly needed in a world overly saturated with television and other passive entertainments.

The Ultimate Playground & Recess Game Book completely lives up to its title and offers classroom teachers, physical education instructors, playground supervisors, youth recreational leaders, and parents more than 170 fun-packed games, sports, and activities for recess and recreational time on the school yard playground, the community park, or the family back yard. Some of these games and sports learned in a school setting or a summer recreation program can be enjoyed for a lifetime. Some of these games will help to reduce student boredom at recess and thereby eliminate a major source of playground behavioral problems. Each game is fully described in a clear, concise, "user friendly" text which is enhanced with more than 150 illustrations to help visualize game directions and setup. An exceptionally useful "Activity Finder" chart makes it simple and quick to find games to meet the needs of the adult supervisors and the children. The Ultimate Playground & Recess Game Book is an indispensable and very welcome addition to any school, summer camp, or family activities reference shelf.

Guy Bailey has put together an extremely helpful resource that has a wide variety of games that are simple, yet fun. I found it to be organized and easy to understand. Most importantly, my students are having a great time participating in the games used! I highly recommend this book to anyone needing fun and creative ideas to enhance their curriculum. Its great!

Number theory is the most enigmatic of disciplines, in that the problems are so easy to state and understand and yet so hard to resolve. Furthermore, when solved, the proofs are sometimes surprisingly easy. In this collection, Guy has put together a truly fascinating survey of what is currently (un)known about numbers.
Each page is an excursion into the extensive labyrinths carved out by numbers. Approximately once a month, I scan it looking for new avenues to explore. Invariably, I see something, sketch out some possible proof routes and then end in frustration. A typical result of working in number theory.
Whether you are an amateur or professional, if you have an interest in number theory, you will like this book. Perhaps you will be able to make some progress towards resolving some of these problems. It is certainly possible, as no field has had more positive contributions from amateurs than number theory. Even Fermat fit the definition of an amateur.

Another of my 10 favorite books. A constant source of inspiration

Rosa Guy wrote the Ups and Downs of Carl Davis III. I liked this book a lot. I think she did an excellent job with the characters and keeping it realistic. I would rate these book 5 stars because it's really interesting and makes you want to read it.

This book was a great book and I'd recommend it to everyone. This would be a great book for a teacher to have as a class reading book. It's very educational and self finding. I suggest that all young adults read this book because you would definitly "LOVE" it!

My daughter loves Veggie Tales and wants me to read this book to her over and over again.

My son plays this tape constantly. We all have it memorized! It's an excellent story about loving your neighbor, even when your neighbor is someone you wouldn't ordinarily love. A retake on the parable of the Good Samaritan... complete with charming music.

This is the greatest book that I have ever read in my life. Within this book there are answers to all that human beings seek in order to be happy. It is a how to book if one is interested in living a moral life and in becoming a more complete human being. Leo Tolstoy with Guy De Mallac has written a masterpiece, a truly great piece of work from one of the most justifying minds of our times, Leo Tolstoy.

Tolstoy (known today only for his novels) attempted to complete his philosophical conceptions by unifying the basic moral conceptions of all religions and this is a condensed (and more manageable) form of his final work. Although emphasising pure Christianity it also blends this with traditional eastern concepts and creates a good complete summary of proper moral behavior. He seems also to convey a certain passion and love, giving the book a spirited tone. It preaches non-violence and even vegetarianism. I was surprised to learn that Tolstoy's ideas were much regarded 100 years ago and even were an inspiration for Ghandi. Depending on your background in world religions, the contents may or may not provide you with any new knowledge. It is certainly not out of date or only for readers of Tolstoy's novels. Five stars, although there may be better books out there (?).

As Bradley's _Principles of Logic_ and _Appearance And Reality_ are out of print and likely to remain so (except as portions of expensive "collected works" sets), Allard and Stock deserve thunderous applause for making this collection of well-chosen excerpts available.

Bradley and Idealism generally have been too much neglected during most of this century as speculative metaphysics has fallen out of fashion. But the heart of Idealism is simply, as Bradley once put it, that what satisfies the intellect is both true and real. In this sense, Idealism is as old as Parmenides and need not commit one to the belief that reality itself is basically mental (though Bradley himself thought so). What it really requires is that there be no artificial divorce between the knowing mind and the reality it is seeking to know: the real is ultimately intelligible, and what is ultimately intelligible is real.

Bradley was a seminal thinker in this tradition, and his insights are very often duplicated by later thinkers who do not know how much ground he had already broken. In this volume, key excerpts from all of Bradley's writings on logic and metaphysics are assembled and introduced.

Also of interest to readers of this volume will be the works of British Idealist Bernard Bosanquet and American rationalist Brand Blanshard. Search Amazon for their names as well.

F.H. Bradley was one of the most influential thinkers of the late-nineteenth century, yet his work has been largely ignored during this century (a shame, as his metaphysics should be of interest to anyone coming to grips with quantum physics). Allard and Stock have done an excellent job of knitting together the most important sections of Bradley's key writings. They add their own commentary only when necessary to bring ideas together and clarify certain difficult points. The result is everything you need to get a firm grasp of the philosophy of this important thinker.

I recently picked this book up along with Guy's Mastering Windows XP Home Edition, and between the two of them I've got all the tips and tricks anyone could ask for on XP! GREAT coverage of videoconferencing and Windows Messenger, and broadband as well.

If you need to share a cable or DSL connection (and watch your privacy as well), you'll find everything you need here. I hadn't been able to connect to some services with ICF until I got this book, so it paid for itself right there.

My highest recommendation!

Windows XP's amazing abilities are revealed by Guy Hart-Davis in The XP Files: Windows' Hidden Tools for Secure Sharing, Communication, and Collaboration. The XP Files reveals just how to best master and implement the full range of powerful, secure (and hidden) Internet communication tools within XP. Included are a wealth of "user friendly" tips on how to securely exchange music, video, or any type of file, conference via video or voice, make free calls to anyone in the world, and protect users' privacy. If you use Windows XP, then you can't do better than to have The XP Files within arm's reach at all times! 336 pages.

Guy, age 67 climbed his favorite mountain ridge near his home in Vermont,one last time. A forthcoming collection of their writings,some of which supplement this book, will be published soon.

"Yankee Rock & Ice" is the best climbing history I have ever read for any region or era. The authors went to great lengths to get the history from primary sources. Straight from the horse's mouth as it were. They talked to dozens of old-time climbers to record their memories before they pasted-on. Sadly, many have, but their reminiscences are recorded here. This is a history in the true sense of the word. Many climbing histories give simple narratives of when, by whom, and how climbs were done. "Camp 4" by Steve Roper and "Defying Gravity" by Gary Arce are two that come to mind. The authors of "Yankee Rock & Ice" don't simply give a account of when classic climbs were done, they also scrutinize the history according to the times. They examine the past by the current customs, techniques and technology available. But, this isn't a stuffy history text you read in school, the stories are lively and extremely funny. I was laughing as loud as when I read John Long's stuff.

You seldom come across such books !

The only feeling that I have after reading this novel, is one of deep admiration and appreciation for the entire novel and its author. Every character in this novel has been portrayed with amazing granularity and details. As one reads this increasingly interesting novel, one has this feeling of how nicely the day-to-day instances in life have been used to generate a "true-to-life" subtle touch of humor with intelligence....I could imagine how lovely the movie would look when it is ready. The climax is so well-handled, that it would keep anyone on the edge while reading this novel and watching the movie.

Happy reading ! Waiting for the movie !!

This is Fantastic Novel. Eagerly waiting to see The Movie made on this novel.
