Amateur College Men
Bruno Gmunder Verlag Gmbh
, 2008
Outdoor erotic at its best! Corbin Fisher presents these young, tight-bodied hetero blokes in erotic encounters without any unnecessary ornamentation. The men are well built and sexy across the board, but the best is they're simply themselves! The genuineness of Fisher's photos is what makes this photography collection so alluring, whether they're active, alone in the shower or having a tender intimate moment with another man! This is required ...

Apprentice of apprentices
Anyone who has ever worked at a continental-style restaurant should read this book. I picked up "Heat" in the interests of reliving my experiences in two continental restaurants, run by two totally different-in-temperament chefs, one Austrian, one Swiss. Neither one embodies quite the insanity exhibited by Mario Batali, the owner/operator of Babbo in New York City,and known via TV as The Iron ...
The Amateur's Mind: Turning Chess Misconceptions into Chess Mastery

Significantly Improved My Play, Too
No book improved my play like this one did. If you're a rank beginner, it's too advanced for you, but if you are in the 1000 to 1700 range, it can drastically help you. Ever wonder what to do once you finish developing all your pieces? You'll never wonder again. I improved about 150 points in my USCF rating directly as a result of this book. (It REALLY helps against computers, too, because of ...
The Amateur Marriage: A Novel

Anne Tyler
Ballantine Books
, 2006
So familiar, so comforting
I absolutely loved "The Amateur Marriage." It was the third of Tyler's novels I've read, and by far the best. As with all her novels, the characters are so fully realized as to seem like they're members of your own family, but what makes "Marriage" excel is that the plot is strong as well. I tore through this book because I felt invested in the lives of Pauline, Michael, and their friends and ...

It's all about religion.
One of the hottest flashpoints in the world today is the Middle East. Iraq is, of course, for most Americans, the hottest area. But Iraq is closely followed by the Israel-Jordan-Palestine region, which is where the bulk of Dan Fesperman's The Amateur Spy and the dramatic action takes place. Smaller, but no less important segments of the book take place on a Greek island, and in the Washington, ...

Thought provoking.
This book is closer to 5 stars than 1. I don't just measure a book by how much I agree with it. I actually disagreed with the author on many of his points (see other reviews for details) but the one thing I could not do was stop reading, stop thinking, look things up, and go off and think some more. What more can you ask for while reading a book? I highly recommend it and rank it 5 stars in order ...

the Amatuer
This book was a page turner. I loved it all. There were times when I had to put it aside to absorb some of the violence (justified on the hero's side), but enjoyed all of his wily deceiptions. It is much more interesting than the movie.
The Amateurs: The Story of Four Young Men and Their Quest for an Olympic Gold Medal

David Halberstam
Ballantine Books
, 1996
Another great book from David Halberstam
I read this book in spite of the facts that I have no interest in rowing and know nothing about it. I read it only because it was written by David Halberstam, and I've loved everything I've ever read by him. This book was no exception. Even though I still know very little about the sport, I now appreciate how grueling it is, and how much training these guys do. You can't go wrong with a ...
A Field Manual for the Amateur Geologist: Tools and Activities for Exploring Our Planet

Alan M. Cvancara
Jossey-Bass
, 1995
a good broad generalization
the previous reviewer's 3-star rating because of the lack of color photographs doesn't do this book justice. Cvancara provides a strong, broad overview of geology for the amateur or hiker who's interested in knowing a bit about the nature, origin, and contents of the land around them. The book covers types and varieties of rock, fossils & landforms as well as geologic time and how it changes & ...

Real classics
This is a collection of wire antenna constructions articles taken mostly from QST from the 1950ties up to 1998. Actually it is a simple compilation of copies of the articles. I am personally missing a detailed list of the articles and some kind of Index. Otherwise it's great to read these fine articles packed with good ideas, and of cause if your target is set on a wire antenna not much has ...

Reprints of old articles, meh.
This poor quality book is printed on flimsy paper, and has flimsy content as well. It is a collection of magazine articles, and the material is covered much better by Kirk A. Kleinschmidt, NT0Z, in his book, Stealth Amateur Radio. Save your money.

Easy to Undestand
An easy to understand description and implementation of VoIP radio linking for both the amateur and veteran. The book covers several products available free from the Internet including one product - Echo Link -- creating by the author. If you are looking to try something new with Internet Linking or just understand how it works, this is the book to have by your side.
The Amateur Gourmet: How to Shop, Chop, and Table Hop Like a Pro (Almost)

Adam D. Roberts
Bantam
, 2007
A fun book for a novice or expert foodie.
This is both a charming and an educational book, high on charm for long time foodies, high on education for wannabe foodies, but a bit of both for either audience. I thoroughly enjoyed Roberts' journey even though I've followed his website for several months. http://www.amateurgourmet.com/ I enjoyed his light hearted approach to cooking and enjoying food, and how he encourages people to try ...
The Last Amateurs: Playing for Glory and Honor in Division I College Basketball

A Tale With an Emotional Resonance for College Hoops Fans
I generally enjoy Feinstein's writings and his commentary. 'The Last Amateurs' is Feinstein's best work. Following his standard procedure, Feinstein gets inside access to the teams of the Patriot League, an east coast league of mostly small private colleges. At the time the schools did not offer athletic scholarships. The players played because they wanted to keep playing competitive hoops and ...
