Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 382 pp. Solidly bound copy with minimal external wear, crisp pages and clean text. No dust jacket. Synopsis: In a city mired in endless decay, where the youth suffer through all the horrors of urban blight, hope comes in a most unassuming form: a tiny brick schoolhouse run by two Felician nuns where a singular basketball genius takes teenagers from the mean streets of Jersey City and turns them into champions on the hardcourt. Coach Bob Hurley had been working miracles at St. Anthony High School for over thirty years, winning state and national championships and offering his players rescue from their surroundings through college scholarships, when he met his most dysfunctional team yet. In The Miracle of St. Anthony Adrian Wojnarowski follows Hurley through a gripping and heartrending season as he struggles to lead a troubled team to glory through his unparalleled understanding of the game and his ceaseless determination to see no more children lost to these streets. Acclaim for The Miracle of St. Anthony: "It takes two ingredients to make a book special: a great story and a great storyteller. The Miracle of St. Anthony has both. Bob Hurley is a remarkable coach; Adrian Wojnarowski is his equal as a writer, says John Feinstein. It takes you through this miracle season where this high school basketball team didn't have the greatest talent but somehow came out on top.[Coach Hurley] is dedicated to these city kids and helping them overcome the obstacles that the city can offer. A lot of his lessons are not about basketball, but about life, and doing things the right way." Bill Raferty, The Wall Street Journal.

As new condition maroon boards/white spine/maroon spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Afterword; and Collaborator's Note. "When I was growing up in Iraq, people used to refer to me as the "pilot's daughter." I hated that term. I still do. It stole from me my very identity, everything I wanted to be. It defined me in terms of my father, and defined him, in turn, by his passenger: a despot millions of Iraqis feared.Because of a chain of events Saddam Hussein set in motion, I found myself stranded in America because of the Gulf War. For very good reasons, I had come to trust no one, not even my mother. I had just turned twenty-one, and I found myself all alone for the first time as fresh new fears were heaped on all the old ones. I did what I needed to survive, though it was not nearly as simple as I make it sound: I erased the pilot's daughter and started over. I creased my life down the middle like the spine of a book when you bend the pages back very hard. You could read the first half of the book of my life, then read the second half, and not know they were lived by the same person. I wanted it that way. I needed it that way." - from the rear outer jacket cover "Zainab Salbi was eleven years old when her father was chosen to be Saddam Hussein's personal pilot and her family's life was grafted onto his. Her mother, the beautiful Alia, taught her daughter the skills she needed to survive. A plastic smile. Saying yes. Burying in boxes in her mind the horrors she glimpsed around her. "Learn to erase your memories," she instructed. "He can read eyes." In this richly visual, highly anticipated memoir, a global leader in the fight on behalf of women victims of war reveals ties to a dictator that fear had kept sealed up inside her for years. She describes tyranny as she saw it - through the eyes of a privileged child, a rebellious teenager, a violated wife, and ultimately a public figure fighting to overcome the skill that once kept her alive: silence. Zainab was just twenty when her mother talked her into an arranged marriage in America. She found herself wed to an abusive stranger and fled. Stranded by the Gulf War, unaware that her mother had sent her away to save her from Saddam's growing affection, she started over. Only when Alia was dying did Salbi realize that she had gone to war zones around the world asking other women for answers that her mother had all along. Between Two Worlds is a riveting quest for truth that deepens our understanding for the universal themes of power, fear, sexual subjugation, and the question one generation asks the one before it: How could you have let this happen to us? Why, the child in Salbi needed to know, didn't her father just fly her away?" - from the inner front jacket flap.

Includes Dedication; Introduction; and Acknowledgments. Profusely illustrated with color photographs. The upper left rear jacket edge tip contains a one inch closed tear at the crease; the jacket is otherwise in fine condition. (see photographs). "The renowned instructor behind elite pros like Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh shows you how to conquer the ten shots you fear the most. From beginners to low-handicappers to PGA Tour professionals, every golfer out there has a shot they fear. Some stand over shots so frozen with fear that they can't bear to swing their club. Others, filled with anxiety, butcher shots they might otherwise hit reasonably well. After conducting worldwide surveys to determine which shots golfers fear the most, master golf instructor Dave Pelz has gathered the results of his broad-sweeping research to create a methodology and conditioning process that is proven to conquer their "Top 10" most feared shots. Golf Without Fear takes an unprecedented visual approach to tackling the most difficult shots in the game - it's the first book to use "Golfer's Eye View," a technique developed for Pelz by hall of fame golf photographer Leonard Kamsler. Golfer's Eye View drops readers straight into the action, enabling them to visualize and prepare for their most feared shots before stepping out on the course. Pelz delivers a hands-on method of instruction, with close-up images of the problems that strike fear into the hearts of golfers, the solutions to those problems, and step-by-step instructions for how to execute feared shots with confidence in the future, including drills you can set up and practice in your own backyard. Playing with fear leads to mental and physical effects that will damage your game, but this book is designed to help you change all that. Pelz's signature "Fear Conquering System" combines science based golf instruction with practical savvy, helping readers change the way they perceive their most feared shots, re-training them with precise, clearly defined body positions and setups, and showing them how to hone their newly acquired skills with at-home drills. Don't let fear hold you back. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to conquer the shot you fear most. Golf Without Fear is a powerful course in making winners out of even your most feared shots." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and maps. "A groundbreaking and monumental work of history that shows how technological and strategic revolutions on the battlefield have shaped the rise and fall of nations and empires. A sweeping, epic history that ranges from the defeat of the Spanish Armada to the War on Terrorism, War Made New is a provocative new vision of the rise of the modern world through the lens of warfare. Acclaimed author Max Boot explores how innovations in weaponry and tactics have not only transformed how wars are fought and won but also guided the course of human events, from the formation of the first modern states, to the collapse of the Soviet Union, to the coming of al Qaeda. Boot argues that the past five centuries of history have been marked not by gradual change in how we fight but instead by four revolutions in military technology - and that the nations who have successfully mastered these revolutions have gained the power to redraw the map of the world. Boot brings these moments of transformation to vivid life through gripping combat scenes. For the Gunpowder Age, he argues that firearm technology brought from China shattered the ritualized combat of the Middle Ages as innovators such as Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus and the Duke of Wellington incorporated artillery and cavalry in new ways, leading to the rise of the Western powers. Exploring the Industrial Revolution, Boot discusses how breakthrough inventions such as the steam engine led to a rapid mechanization of fighting technology in the mid-nineteenth century and terrifying new levels of bloodshed, from the Prussian victory over the Austrian Empire at the Battle of Koniggratz to the newly industrialized Japanese navy's devastation of the Russian fleet at Tsushima. For the Second Industrial Revolution, Boot focuses on how the oil-driven combustion engine and the advent of combat aviation culminated in the battlefield breakthroughs of World War II, from the German blitzkrieg of France to the American firebombing of Tokyo, which would lead to the rise of global superpowers. War Made New concludes with the ongoing Information Revolution, beginning with the Gulf War in 1991. Boot describes how the use of precision-guided missiles along with stealth planes and cruise missiles granted the U.S. a critical advantage over enemies in Iraq and Afghanistan, and also looks at how the world's last superpower can combat the asymmetric tactics of groups such as al Qaeda. A stirring analysis of the last five hundred years of warfare, War Made New will forever change our understanding of the forces shaping human civilization." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Includes Dedications; Acknowledgments; Introduction; Afterword; and Index. "A giant of the rock and roll industry takes a mesmerizing look back at thirty-five years spent working with legends. When eighteen-year-old Danny Goldberg wrote his first music review for Billboard, he couldn't have imagined that he would go on to enjoy one of the most varied and influential careers in the world of rock and roll. He went on to do PR for Led Zeppelin and KISS, launched Stevie Nick's solo career, was Bonnie Raitt's manager when she won four Grammys for Nick of Time, managed the career of Nirvana, signed Warren Zevon to his label for the artist's last album, and, in between, ran Atlantic Records, Mercury Records, and Warner Bros. Records. In Bumping into Geniuses, Goldberg shares his stories about those artists with whom he worked closely, as well as others who represent a broad and powerful portion of the psychic real estate of the rock and roll kingdom over the last forty years, including Patti Smith, The Moody Blues, Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Courtney Love, Steve Earle, and more. But there is more to this story than Goldberg's career. It's a revealing look at the music industry itself; a business that is neither the romantic vehicle for self-expression that its most naive fans imagine, nor the purely crass money machine depicted by its most cynical critics. It is complex and chaotic -- a mixture of art and commerce, idealism and selfishness -- and sometimes, rock's most gifted musicians were able to transcend it all. Despite the drugs, lies, and shallow quests for fame and money that stalked the rock industry, it managed to produce the music that Goldberg and countless fans love. Above all, this book is Goldberg's love letter to rock and roll and the countless musical geniuses he bumped into along the course of his extraordinary career. For anyone interested in the rock and roll industry, or simply the mores and temperaments of the musicians themselves, Bumping into Geniuses is an incredible insider's tale that only Goldberg could tell." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. New condition ruby red boards/black spine/silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Foreword by Dr. Bob Rotella; Introduction; and rear section of related product advertisement. Profusely illustrated with color photographs, black-and-white photographs and charts, "A step-by-step guide to the new golf swing that has taken the PGA Tour by storm. The traditional golf swing demands a level of coordination that few golfers have - it requires the body to turn over a right axis going back, turn over a left axis going through, and have perfect timing at impact. So it's no surprise that, despite huge advances in club and ball technology, the average golf handicap in America has dropped by only one stroke since 1990. Maverick golf instructors Michael Bennett and Andy Plummer have spent a decade researching the swing, eventually combining physiology and physics to create a method they dubbed the "Stack and Tilt" - a revolutionary golf swing that keeps your body centered and your weight stacked over the ball for pure contact shot after shot. The result? Big-name pros like Mike Weir, Mommy Armour III, and Aaron Baddeley are already converts, and Bennett and Plummer are now two of the most sought-after swing coaches in the game. Making these breakthroughs available to everyone, The Stack and Tilt Swing is a fully illustrated complete course, packed with more than two hundred full-color photographs that make it easy for golfers at all levels to adopt this radical yet simple approach. Analyzing why the traditional swing won't work for most golfers, the authors explain the importance of keeping the upper body stacked over the lower body, while the spine tilts toward the target during the back-swing, greatly reducing the inconsistencies created by the old-fashioned approach. Enhanced with practice routines, a troubleshooting list, test cases, and point-by-point assistance, this is the breakthrough guide to golf's hot new secret weapon." - from the inner front jacket flap. "Forty years ago, Bob Toski was a revolutionary teacher who changed the way golf was taught; twenty years later, David Leadbetter did the same. Now we have Andy and Mike, and I'd put them in the same conversation." - Dr. Bob Rotella. "I'm very analytical, so before I ever practiced with Mike and Andy we sat down and talked about the golf swing for hours. They told me how you have to stay centered and how the hands have to move in on the backswing, and here's why. It made sense to me. I thought, why wouldn't I swing this way?" - Aaron Braddeley. "[At the 2006 Texas Open] I won my first tour event. If I didn't know it already, I knew it then: Stack and Tilt was the answer for me." - Eric Axley. "With [Andy and Mike's] help I was able to see light at the end of the tunnel. Two weeks after first working with Andy and Mike I had my best finish of the year, and over the next ten events I continually improved my ball-striking." - Dan WIlson. "There's no doubt that when you stay forward and swing the club on an arc, the ball flight is more consistent, more predictable. When you play golf shifting your weight around, how well you play depends a lot on your timing. The swing [Mike and Andy] teach is simply more efficient." - Tommy Armour III.
