Baseball: The People's Game is the third volume in the series of this famous work and the best of the three books. It's about the way people played amateur and semipro ball all over the country, in schools and colleges, on sandlots, even in prisons and on reservations. It includes five chapters on early women's baseball and of course material on the black clubs and leagues. I'm the wife and assistant of the late author, Dr. Harold Seymour, the historian of baseball. To read more about his baseball books, visit my web site, http://www.DorothyJaneMills.com. Soon I will be opening a new web site about his work: www.HaroldSeymour.com

Harold Seymour made the right move as a kid when he waited on Bedford Avenue outside the right field fence at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn to catch home runs hit off the bats of Dolph Camilli and Pete Reiser. Thus began a love affair with the game that has blossomed into three great books including "The People's Game," maybe the best. Seymour goes into great detail about aspects of the game as they relate not to the big leagues or even to the bushes but to stories and anecdotes that anybody who has ever played the game can relate to, especially us old timers. If you're my age, you probably remember continually taping up the .35 ball after the cover came off, generally about the second inning. If it was a really big game, you probably used white medical tape that you had purloined from the medicine chest. But in all likelihood, you used the much more utilitarian black friction tape from the garage.The ball had to last the whole game as no one had another thirty five cents for a second one. And do you remember when there just weren't enough gloves to go around and you had to share a mitt with your opposing player? A myriad of rememberances await readers of this love letter to our National Pastime. But they are six hundred of the liveliest, most interesting pages any player or fan of the game will ever read. Go read this home run of a book! It's a gem.

If you are responsible for creating wealth in a non-profit environment, implementing Harold Seymour's advice will guarantee success.

Seymour offers a lifetime of experiences and down to earth approach to the art and science of fund raising. From motivations for giving, to designs for organizing a fund raising project, this book is a must for the novice as well as the experienced fund raiser

One of the most valuable texts any general surgeon specially the postgrads must have. each chapter is heavily loaded with very good graphics, and the text is very easy to grasp. and it gives a large space to operative details and steps. personally i take one of the volumes with me on duties. The only thing is that it is increasing necessary for the authors to update this edition. laproscopy in many situations is still -on the pages of this edition- in the cradle!!, which is not the true case, and many indications for some investigations have changed. but after all this is medicine. if you have this text and keepon with Advances in Surgery or Surgical Clinics of North America then you would cover most of the defects.

Excellent text for abdominal operations, easy to read with clear illustrations, reviews procedures that established the foundation of surgery, nice sections on ulcer operations, highly recomended.

Bierman and Smidt's work is generally considered to be a classic in its field. Anyone seriously interested in a cogent, well structured, and logically developed textbook on the economic analysis of investment projects MUST study Bierman and Smidt. This book is not "just another finance text" because capital budgeting straddles two disciplines: finance and operations. This book does justice to both fields remarkably well.

I had first read this book during the early 70's when I was Still in my teens,because nostilgia has a way of destorting things this book was not quite as great as I remembered it to be. Nevertheless it is still great a book, for those of us who understand that in History while Wars,Summit Meetings and the like have (and should ) thier place, so should the more ordinary aspects, of our cultural life. The portions of this book that deal with Ty Cobb's insanity and racism Hal Chase's corruption, "Judge Landis's" overated qualties, and the fact that the 1919 World Series scandal was merely a means to an end, rather than the actual cause of the overthrow of The National Commission, for me anyway make for great reading, I would urge anyone intrested in American culture, or just loves baseball/nostilgia to purchase this book here.
