H. W. Broido

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2003

Excellent Guide for First Time Coaches
As a first time coach I had little idea what to expect when preparing for coaching a T ball team. This was a perfect guide to organize with and prepare the team for a season. I have worked through the five practices now and have gained confidence in running the team based on the guidelines presented in this book. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to coach a team. It truly is a step by ...

The Complete Book of Road Cycling & Racing7 reviews
Willard Peveler

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2008

An All-In-One Guide To Cycling
Whether you are just getting started in the sport, or you've been riding and racing for 20+ years (like me), this is a tremendous handbook and reference guide to all things cycling. I found the off-season training and nutrition chapters to be particularly helpful. If you are interested in racing, the racing skills and tactics chapter will quickly bring you up to speed. Perhaps the best ... 		  
  







  
  
Great Soccer Drills : The Baffled Parent's Guide23 reviews
Thomas Fleck, Ronald Quinn

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2002

Perfect resource for efficient, age-appropriate training.
I'm an "A" Licensed coach who recently took the USSF National Youth License. This book was recommended by them. The course was excellent and this book, written by the same people who wrote the curriculum for the NYL, is a mirror-image. I found this such a great resource, I purchased one for every coach in my club. 		  
  







  
  
Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual: How to Maintain, Repair, and Improve Your Boat's Essential ...63 reviews
Nigel Calder

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2005

If You Could Only Have One Boating Book, this is the One
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and could only take one CD with you, which one would you take and why? Years ago I used to listen to a program on the BBC that asked famous guests that question, only they said record, not CDs. Well I suppose I'd take Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks" if I were in that fix. And if I were to go to sea on a cruising sailboat and could only take ...

Bobby Clark

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 1999

Excellent - don't be put off by the title
This is an excellent book for ANY youth soccer coach - don't be put off by the title. It has tons of drills and games you can instantly put into play at your next practice to keep things fun and fresh for the kids. I've coached both girls and boys teams even though I never played the game, and I used many of the games, drills, and skills from this book to make my teams the best they could ... 		  
  







  
  
How to Read a Nautical Chart : A Complete Guide to the Symbols, Abbreviations, and Data Displayed on Nautical ...13 reviews
Nigel Calder

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2002

"What does 'rky' mean? Oops!"
Since the current U.S. Administration saw fit to cease publication of CHART NO. 1, the government's own guide to reading maritime maps, back in 2000 (maybe they figured Dubai might pick up the slack around our harbors), HOW TO READ A NAUTICAL CHART is an absolutely crucial educational volume for those of us new to reading charts. It's all here. Nigel Calder does a splendid job of taking the ... 		  
  







  
  
Trail Food: Drying and Cooking Food for Backpacking and Paddling16 reviews
Alan Kesselheim

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 1998

Glad I bought this one!
Trail Food by Alan S. Kesselheim is a spectacular little read for anyone interested in adventuring in the outdoors, self reliance, preperation, or even just making healthy snacks at home for a fraction of the price of storebought. Encouraging, practical, and written by an obviously experienced author, Trail Food helped enhance my outdoor experience. If you're still buying those freeze dried meals ... 		  
  







  
  
Coach's Guide to Game-Winning Softball Drills: Developing the Essential Skills in Every Player4 reviews
Michele Smith, Lawrence Hsieh

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2008

Great resource for youth league and travel team coaches
As a league administrator, I'm always looking for great coaching resources for the coaches in our league. I love this book because it's a combination coaching and drills book. Many drills books out there just have drills (with a smattering of ad hoc remarks on mechanics). But this book is different. Every section of the book has a thorough discussion of the required mechanics ...

Frank Baron

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2003

What Fish don't want you to know: An insiders Guide to Freshwater Fishing
I odered this book as a Christmas Gift for my husband. Never heard of it, but bought it based on the reviews already written. My husband told me it's a great book, very infomative yet humorus. He told me I made a great choice. 		  
  







  
  
The Marlinspike Sailor27 reviews
Hervey Garrett Smith

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 1993

Top Notch
An excellent book for anyone interested in rope. Beautifully illustrated. This could be as close as I get to a stroll on deck of a turn of the century clipper ship. The diagrams are clear and concise but again, in my opinion it's the illustration that sets this book above the rest.

David Williams, Scott Graham

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2005

A helpful guide
Having played soccer for decades, this book helped me when it came time to coach my first very young team. There are some great ideas and the book is very good at preparing a coach for the mindset of coaching very young players. Pick it up - well worth having in your bag of tricks. 		  
  







  
  
Coaching Girls' Lacrosse: A Baffled Parent's Guide4 reviews
Janine Tucker, Maryalice Yakutchik

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2003

Bringing Girls' Lacrosse into the Modern Era
This book is perfect for coaches and players who are new to the game of girls'/women's Lacrosse. Several years ago, when I was recruited to coach my daughter's youth league team, I searched high and low for a book, such as this one, covering the girls' game. I found plenty of books for boy's Lacrosse and a few that had a chapter or two covering girls' Lacrosse. Often, these books covered very ...

How to Sail Around the World : Advice and Ideas for Voyaging Under Sail20 reviews
Hal Roth

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2003

Unique, Not a Substitute for Manuals, But Practical Clever Sense
I stayed up late to finish this book, and regret the publisher has not seen fit to offer Amazon readers a "Look Inside the Book." I am adding this book to my list of great sailing manuals, handbooks, and other guides, with the observation that this book is in no way a substitute for those more detail oriented step by step books BUT this book is also unique. It is PACKED with real-world ... 		  
  







  
  
Marine Diesel Engines: Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repair18 reviews
Nigel Calder

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2006

Great, but . . .
I'm at a bit of a loss on how to review this. It's a great reference, BUT if you already have Calder's Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual: How to Maintain, Repair, and Improve Your Boat's Essential Systems (referred to my most cruisers just as "Calder"), this book does not add a lot that's not covered there. If you already own Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual: How to ...

All-Mountain Skier : The Way to Expert Skiing24 reviews
R. Elling

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2002

Wish I had got this book before I started skiing
Read this book cover to cover, underline and study, before you go skiing for the first time. Then take three lessons and you will be off to a great start. Wish I had read this book three years ago when I first started skiing. It has a lot of very basic information that other books and videos leave out.
