Stan Utley, Matthew Rudy

Gotham, 2007

Great treatise on the chipping, pitching and sand shots
After reading Stan Utley's "The Art of Putting," I spent four months retooling my putting approach to great effect. I was really anxious to read his ideas about short game shot-making in this book. After four weeks of absorbing and practicing his ideas in this great little book, I'm a bigger Utley fan than ever. He explains his short game ideas very clearly and concisely here. As in his first ...

I bought both of this author's books on the recommendation of Amazon. The first book, the Complete TurtleTrader was the one that I read first. I wish I would have read them in reverse. Trend Following built up the story. After reading Trend Following I went back and read the Complete TurtleTrader again. What made the book great? Well like most reading these types of books, I am a person ...

Nancy T. Maar

Adams Media, 2006

Nummy!
Easy recipes, easy to understand how it works with the Glycemic Index concept, and good for diabetics and hypoglycemia as well. Love the cottage cheese and tomato breakfast, as well as the Saturday Eggs, and Dieter's Delight (egg whites packed full of veg, and only 28 calories!). The Chicken Francoise with Fine Herbs was amazing, and far simpler than I thought. Some recipes aren't so ...

Up, Down, and Around2 reviews
Katherine Ayres

Candlewick, 2008

Vegetable awareness, organic gardening, vegetarian fun!
This book is great in so many ways. My 15 mo. old loves it because it has a fun rhythm to it and because he hunts for little things on each page (the kitty, the dog, the butterflies, the vegetables). I like it because it shows kids how plants grow "Corn grows up. Carrots grow down. Cucumbers climb around and around. Peppers grow up. Potatoes grow down. Pumpkins vine around and around...." I ...

Getting Up and Down16 reviews
Tom Watson

Random House, 1987

MASTERFUL!
Who can forget Watson's famous chip shot in the US Open at the 17th at Pebble Beach that is featured on the cover of this book? I remember watching that shot live on television. When he hit his ball into the twelve-inch-long rough the announcers promptly pronounced his chances of winning the US Open over and done. Gone! Instead the master of the short game told his caddy, Bruce Edwards, that ...

Brad Warner

New World Library, 2007

Absolutely Brilliant. This Book is a Clarion Call to Wake Up!
I loved Brad Warner's first book, Hardcore Zen. It was witty, irreverent, engrossing, stirring, and inspirational. Sit Down and Shut Up is no less so. There's no need for me to recount the contents of this book. The Amazon product description has, and a few reviewers have, already done that. What I will do is comment on this book's impact on my life. Sit Down and Shut Up was a ... 		  
  







  
  
Skippyjon Jones: Up and Down (Skippyjon Jones)10 reviews
Judy Schachner

Dutton Juvenile, 2007

My son's favorite book
This is my 22 month old son's favorite book. It teaches concepts such as up and down, back and forth, over and under, near and far, but does it with the adorable kitty boy that Skippyjon Jones is. And we bounce my son up and down with the book. He giggles and carries on. He asks for it again and again. It is a great introduction for babies and toddlers to the adorable character of ...

Diana West

St. Martin's Press, 2007

Grow Up America
Imagine if the defining tenets of modern liberalism- politically correct "multiculturalism", "diversity" and "tolerance"- were firmly in place when Adolf Hitler attacked Poland to begin WWII. England would have promptly declared that the "war on blitzkrieg" had officially begun. It would carefully avoid any mention of Hitler and the Nazis. After all, aren't all cultures alike? Aren't all ...
