The Dangerous Book for Boys622 reviews
Conn Iggulden, Hal Iggulden
Collins, 2007
The way things used to be
Many, many years ago boys were taught this kind of stuff by their father's and their father's fathers. Boys are no longer introduced to this kind of helpful information. This book is beyond a helpful guide to knot tying and history. It is a well rounded piece of literary art. I have never read a book that teaches one how to build a bow and arrow on one page and how to treat a woman ...

Mixed Martial Arts: The Book of Knowledge 33 reviews

Victory Belt Publishing, 2007
An MMA How to - From Start to Finish
When I recently read Victory Belt's publication 'Mastering the Rubber Guard' with Eddie Bravo, I was impressed. It made considerable strides in improving over his last book 'Jiu-Jitsu Unleashed' and gave a detailed insight into one of the most misunderstood positions in today's Jiu-Jitsu world. Well, as far as I'm concerned, Victory Belt has done it again with BJ Penn's 'Mixed Martial Arts - The ...

Maeve Binchy
Anchor, 2008
A Very Good Read
I have taken note of all the good reviews that "Whitethorn Woods" has received here and elsewhere and this is actually the first book by Maeve Binchy that I have read.
The story of a small town called Rossmore and the allegedly holy well together with the new bypass road threatening to destroy the well while potentially transforming the place form the background to the extraordinary way many ...

Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Running, Second Edition, (Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Running)5 reviews
Robert G. Price
Sportsworkout.com, 2005
Exactly what I needed
After reading through this book, it is clear that it is just what I needed. While running, I usually begin to experience fatigue in my muscles as opposed to my lungs. This book has very good strategies and tips on how to improve muscular endurance- which is exactly what runners need. My leg muscles as well as my upper body muscles have become more durable and I'm able to last much longer ...

Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2004
This book is responsible for me moving!
Our copy of Country Wisdom & Know-How is very worn and tattered but still remains the focal point of our coffee table.
I discovered this book at a Barnes & Noble while living in the city. Was attracted to it because of it's paper-bag-like cover. Even though I lived in the middle of a city, in an apartment, I bought it anyway. My wife and I became hooked! Fell in love with the idea of having ...

Golf My Way: The Instructional Classic, Revised and Updated5 reviews

Used this to learn how to win
I used the original parts of this book as released by Golf Digest in the 70's and later. This book is updated and includes essential components covering all aspects of the basics and beyond. Nicklaus is excellent at describing the comprehensive components of the golf swing in general and with the various situations you'll find yourself in around the course.
Jack Nicklaus isn't usually thought ...

Total Immersion Swimming, 2006
Excellent swimming resource
I learned a lot from this book about every stroke. It will be a constant reference and resource book for my triathlon training. Terry Laughlin has a way of making you want to go swimming just for the joy of it. His tips and techniques through drill swimming in a relaxed manner are wonderful for beginning swimmers and master swimmers looking to re-connect with the water. I highly recommend this ...

Trample & Hurdle Publishers, 2008
A really good book for the experienced AR/M4 user
Very good reading for the experienced shooter. Cover every aspect of the use of the rifle (or carbine, shotgun, submachinegun) but although for advanced level, a beginner can take good use of the book.

Jove, 2000
Very satisfying middle story in the trilogy!
A lovely story about childhood friends who move past the platonic brotherly/sisterly relationship they've cultivated over the years into an abiding love firmly rooted in friendship and appreciation of the other. I love Nora Robert's style of writing! It oozes with Irish charm and magical folklore.

Wrestling for Fighting: The Natural Way11 reviews

Victory Belt Publishing, 2007
As the title suggests.....
Randy Couture has been one of the poster boys for Mixed Martial Arts competition in recent years - and a good one at that. His words are well thought out, he's articulate, hard-working and talented. A lot is made of his age, as well. However, I don't think it means a great deal except to say he's an example of what hard work and good attitude can acheive.
Erich Krauss and Glen Cordoza do a ...

Elements of Writing Fiction - Characters & Viewpoint (Elements of Fiction Writing)70 reviews
Orson Scott Card
Writers Digest Books, 1999
Awesome
One of the best books on writing I've found so far. Detailed, clear, encouraging. Other reviewers complain that it is too "formula." It's not- it's usable. Big difference.
I say that it take a certain kind of genius to breakdown intuitive concepts into usable parts. Character is intuitive, it's all about understanding human beings and there is nothing simple about that.
Buy it. You'll be ...

A Field Guide to Bird Songs: Eastern and Central North America (Peterson Field Guides)10 reviews
Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology
Houghton Mifflin, 2002
Helpful audio CD
I researched for the audio cd to identify bird songs. Peterson Field Guides five star rated cd met all the requirements i wanted. This is not soothing new age background music, but an educational tool for beginning birders like myself. Even while multitasking along w/ listening, it is very educational. Try loading the songs on your computer or ipod & see how quickly you will recognize.

Angel River Press, 2005
It worked for me
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April and had surgery to remove the prostate in late June 2007, when I was 61. I was not particularly worried about the cancer spreading, because tests indicated that it probably was contained in the prostate. I was worried, however, about the "two I's" -- impotence and incontinence. My surgeon warned me that it could be two years before I knew whether my ...
