The Rivalry: Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, and the Golden Age of Basketball

10 reviews
John Taylor

Ballantine Books, 2006

The Rivalry's Got Game
No two players in NBA history better epitomize the dichotomy between individual excellence and a willingness to blend their talent for the collective success of the team than William Felton Russell and Norman Wilton Chamberlain. While author John Taylor's latest work centers (pun intended) on two of the greatest bballers in NBA history, The Rivalry isn't your typical slam-jam basketball ...

Epic Rivalry: The Inside Story of the Soviet and American Space Race

3 reviews
Von Hardesty, Gene Eisman

National Geographic, 2007

Both sides then.
In a snapshot world with nano attention spans, Epic Rivalry manages to grab and hold on. The world in 1957 was on the seam between vacuum tube and microchip, between perceived American complacency and Russian Atomic tests that dropped Strontium 90 in milk bottles across the United States. Amid the tension and fear, two clumsy stumbling giants began the race that framed the future and shapes the ...

Understanding Sibling Rivalry: The Brazelton Way

1 review
T. Berry Brazelton, Joshua D., M.D. Sparrow

Da Capo Lifelong Books, 2005

A LIFESAVER
I am a journalist so I received an advanced copy of this book to review. I have a two year old and a newborn so I assumed "sibling rivalry" was years away. But when my two-year old started acting out (blatantly disobeying, throwing tantrums over apparently nothing), I turned to this book. There is an indepth section on what happens when a new baby enters the scene that has been a godsend. It has ...

Siblings Without Rivalry: How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too

68 reviews
Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish

Collins, 1998

Helping Children Get Along
A wonderful book on helping siblings get along. But I also highly recommend for parents and teachers the book:Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying. More than a bullying book, this really focuses on practical strategies,scripts, actual lessons and stories to teach children conflict resolution, friendship and communication skills; the importance of helping others ...

Arnie & Jack: Palmer, Nicklaus, and Golf's Greatest Rivalry

8 reviews
Ian O'Connor

Houghton Mifflin, 2008

The King, The Golden Bear, And A Rivalry For The Ages
I grew up a member of Jack's Pack, having been born a little too late to be a soldier in Arnie's Army. It's funny how sports moments can stay with you. As I watched the Masters this year, in my mind's eye, I could see the Golden Bear prowling those greens. Ghosts of Augusta. This book tells the tale of two of Golf's titans, both their individual stories, and the story of their complicated ...

Keep the Siblings, Lose the Rivalry
Todd Cartmell

Zondervan, 2003

The 100-Yard War: Inside the 100-Year-Old Michigan-Ohio State Football Rivalry

3 reviews
Greg Emmanuel

Wiley, 2005

Compelling read
Emmanuel successfully weaves the story of the 100th meeting between Michigan and Ohio State -- the 2003 battle in Ann Arbor to decide the Big Ten championship -- into the century long history between these two perennial powers. The narrative is compelling, and uncovers the historial reasons for the bitter rivalry between the two states and spends ample time on past classic meetings. It also ...

Beyond Sibling Rivalry: How To Help Your Children Become Cooperative, Caring and Compassionate

5 reviews
Peter Goldenthal

Holt Paperbacks, 2000

Very helpful book -- highly recommend
This book not only gave me insight into my kids' relationships, but continues to help me to be the kind of parent I want to be. It's full of practical advice and I have seen quick results after applying what I learned. I am buying a few copies to give to friends with more than one child. Also a great gift idea for someone pregnant with a second child.

Strategic Rivalries in World Politics: Position, Space and Conflict Escalation
Michael P. Colaresi, Karen Rasler, ...

Cambridge University Press, 2008

International conflict is neither random nor inexplicable. It is highly structured by antagonisms between a relatively small set of states that regard each other as rivals. Examining the 173 strategic rivalries in operation throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this book identifies the differences rivalries make in the probability of conflict escalation and analyzes how they interact with serial crises, arms races, alliances and ...

Tony McAleavy

Developed from the Modern World History Core Book by Tony McAleavy, Superpower Rivalry focuses on the beginning of the Cold War, from after the end of the Second World War to the collapse of the Soviet Empire in 1991. This book covers the breakdown of the wartime alliance, the Berlin Blockade and the wars that involved the Superpowers, including the Korean War and the Vietnam War. There are sections on the Arms Race, the Cuban Missile Crisis and ...

Geisha in Rivalry

3 reviews
Kafu Nagai, Kurt Meissner, ...

Tuttle Publishing, 2006

The Art of Backbiting
Geisha. Easily one of the most recognizable images of Japan familiar even to the average American who can't tell Tokyo from Kyoto. They've shown up in Hollywood from John Wayne's time to our own, and there's hardly a travel guide from which they're absent. And yet for all that (or because of that, I should say), these women are rather poorly understood--the realities of their lives warped and ...

Life's a Campaign: What Politics Has Taught Me About Friendship, Rivalry, Reputation, and Success

33 reviews
Chris Matthews

Random House, 2007

A good book for voters, insiders and presidential candidates
Thirty-two Amazon reviewers have preceded me, so I'll blame Chris Matthews himself. The reader-friendliness of this book allowed me to pick it up for a few pages at a time, then put it down for a week or more and then return for another enjoyable reading experience. This book works fine on that schedule, and I'm sure it would be just as enjoyable if you spent a day or two reading it from cover ...

The Supreme Court: The Personalities and Rivalries That Defined America

15 reviews
Jeffrey Rosen, Thirteen/WNET

Times Books, 2007

The real Justice League of America
It's one of the fundamental principles of the U.S. Constitution that the three branches of government are more-or-less equal, with checks and balances assuring that no branch takes over. The reality, of course, is different: at times - particularly in the 1800s - the Congress was the more powerful branch, while at other times -especially recently - the Presidency has taken the reins. The ...

Gandhi & Churchill: The Epic Rivalry that Destroyed an Empire and Forged Our Age

7 reviews
Arthur Herman

Bantam, 2008

A TALE OF TWO GIANTS
Writing a dual biography of two political giants is not an easy task.One is reminded about the outstanding joint biography written many years ago by Lord Bullock on Hitler and Stalin. In this book,two themes run concurrently:the British Empire's fin-de-siecle and the rise of India as an independent nation.Although of different backgrounds,both political giants-Churchill and Ghandi- seem to have ...

Lady Vols and UConn: The Greatest Rivalry

7 reviews
Richard Kent

iUniverse, Inc., 2008

Exceptional!
By far, the best book I have ever read about women's college basketball. Kent is really an authority on the subject and has definitely done his homework. Those of us who watched golf on other networks while UCONN/Tennessee was on ESPN now know what we were missing. It's too bad that this great rivalry is ending.

A Tale of Two Cities: The 2004 Yankees-Red Sox Rivalry and the War for the Pennant

9 reviews
Tony Massarotti, John Harper

The Lyons Press, 2005

MLB 2004: "The Best of Times, the Worst of Times"
It seems highly unusual that beat writers covering the teams involved in MLB's greatest rivalry agreed almost two years ago to collaborate on writing an account of the 2004 season. For both the Yankees and the Red Sox, and their fans, that season provided both the best of times and the worst of times. It is to Massarotti's and Harper's credit that the results of their collaboration, this book, ...
