Be a Contender, Not Just a Contestant! 9 reviews
Reverend Kenneth L. Gainous
American Literary Press, 2002
The Right Choice for a Blessed Consequent
I have just completed reading Reverend Kenneth L. Gainous' book "Be a Contender, Not Just a Contestant!" for a second Blessed time! I must confess, the first time I read it I was a mere contestant who sometimes had doubt whether I was even in the contest at all. My first reading allowed me to see the need and gave me a desire to make the bold decision for both the need and want to become a viable ...

The Contender: Richard Nixon-- The Congress Years 1946-19521 review
Irwin Gellman
New York Free Press 1999., 1999
Needed correction of anti-Nixon myths
In "The Contender, Richard Nixon, The Congress Years" historian Irwin F. Gellman sets for himself a difficult, yet needed correction of mythology posing as history: that Richard Nixon's political career was founded on smears and lies.
Using actual campaign literature, contemporary newspaper accounts, letters, and government documents, Gellman methodically demolishes three Big Lies ...

Contenders: The Tory quest for power1 review
Patrick Martin
Prentice-Hall Canada, 1983
Just like being there!
This book follows the apocalyptic events of 1983 within the PC party. From detailed reporting of the Battle of Winnipeg, to the War to Settle the Score in Ottawa, this book has it all. Each contender's campaign is studied and the characters are well fleshed out. Be a fly on the wall in the room where Joe Clark decided that 67% was not enough. Find out how Brian Mulroney secured the ...

Troubleshooting Windows 2000 TCP/IP21 reviews
Thomas W. Shinder, Debra Littlejohn Shinder
SYNGRESS, 2000
Excellent Coverage of Win2k Net Services
This book is fresh air to someone like myself who has read at least a dozen Windows 2000 books. I get the impression that a lot of the Windows 2000 books were written by people who write books and don't work with the technology. This book doesn't fall into that class. It was great to read this book, because it renewed my faith that a tech book could be written in a way that doesn't put me to ...

Chess World Title Contenders and Their Styles5 reviews
Danny Kopec, Craig Pritchett
Dover Publications, 2002
Excellent games textbook
This book presents the best games of the 1970's from eight of the leading grandmasters of the time, including Jan Timman and Kasparov! Good biographical information included. This is a reprint of a 1980 publication in algebraic notation, and is actually a much better book than most of the new games collections that are currently being published these days.

Contenders and Pretenders: Who Will Run and Who Will Win the Race for the White House in 20082 reviews
Rey Thomas
iUniverse, Inc., 2007
A good book about the upcoming election. The author has some really unique, on-the-money observations.
What's amazing about the upcoming presidential election is how early things are getting underway. "Contenders and Pretenders" is a great sort of primer book, it looks at all the candidates, their pluses and minuses, and some other issues that are going to determine the outcome in 2008. One chapter titled "Red State, Blue State," looks at how if the Democrats don't nominate a contender that will ...

The Impossible Takes a Little Longer: The Texas Rangers from Pretenders to Contenders1 review
Phil Rogers
Taylor Pub, 1990
The best Rangers history out there
Phil Rogers does a great job covering the history of the Texas Rangers up through the 1989 season. Any Rangers fan would enjoy this book. It's well written, and unlike Mike Shropshire's "Seasons in Hell" (which focused on his alcoholic days as a baseball writer with the Rangers in 1973-1975) Rogers does not interject himself into the story line.

The Butt Hello: And Other Ways My Cats Drive Me Crazy2 reviews
Ted Meyer
Contender Books, 2003
A great book for cat lovers and also cat haters
If your cat has annoying or endearing behaviors then you may see some of them in this great book. The simple folk art illustrations of a cat giving you a "butt salute" or of drinking from a toilet (Perrier anyone?) or of covering your head while you are trying to sleep will make you laugh out loud. A great gift for anyone with a cat. I particularly liked the page with the cat knocking off ...

Louis Tharp with Laurie Ferguson Ph.D.
Total Immersion Swimming, 2007
Not just for swimmers - or gay people
Lou Tharp is an amazing man -- and he's written a marvelous book. It doesn't fit in any particular category -- it's a swimming book, a motivational book, a memoir, a gay book, and much more. If you're interested in any aspect of the human condition -- improving one's body, fitting in to society, figuring out what makes us tick -- you'll find something of interest here. Actually, you'll find ...
