Coaching Youth Basketball: The Guide for Coaches & Parents5 reviews
Jr., John Mccarthy

Betterway Books, 2006

A Practical Guide To Coaching youth Basketball
A woderful book. Short (156 pp.) and highly readable, McCarthy makes it all very simple. McCarthy covers the fundamentals (footwork, dribbling, rebounding, etc.) but intersperses his text with invaluable practical advice -- e.g., "I always say to drive as close to a defender as possible. If he reacts and moves back into that lane, he will commit a foul." There is also a great emphasis on ...

Letters Between a Catholic and an Evangelical23 reviews
James G. McCarthy, John R. Waiss

Harvest House Publishers, 2003

Excellent Educational Resource
This book is an excellent resource material that deals with Catholicism, Evangelical beliefs, and the differences. It shares a fair view of both beliefs. From reading other reviews, some Catholics would prefer it to show Catholicism superior to Evangelicalism. I believe the purpose is to inform, and if one side is converted to the other, that's fine, but it is better to know what the other ...

The Radical Reader: A Documentary History of the American Radical Tradition4 reviews

The New Press, 2003

Superb, Comprehensive Look At Radical Thought In America
The ordinary American's personal experience of history is often organized around a pantheon of readings and tomes that view our democratic experience as a pristine and elevated philosophical exercise by icons of verity and probity. Recent treatments such as Howard Zinn's "A People's History of The United States" and the wonderful "Founding Brothers" by Joseph J. Ellis have helped us to recognize ...
  
  











  



  
House Of Blues Presents: Blues Guitar Course (House of Blues Presents) (House of Blues Presents)4 reviews
John McCarthy

Fred Russell Publishing, 2008

Great Introduction to Playing the Blues
I was a little worried about buying this product because for some reason there are no reviews on it anywhere on the internet - not on amazon, not music123, musicians friend, or guitar center. However after looking at the product descriptions on the sites just mentioned I realized that this dvd/book course is actually the combined courses of two earlier blues dvds, level 1 and level 2, also by ...

This book covers everything and has excellent sections on accounting and reporting guidelines for the many entity types of not-for-profit organizations. Also has a chapter covering entities on ...
  
  











  



  
Java Developer's Guide to Eclipse, The (2nd Edition)23 reviews
Jim D'Anjou, Scott Fairbrother, ...

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2004

Good book, bad approach
The book is very good. The problem is the examples. The examples are all heavily loaded and compounded. Like when you want to learn a certain type of a tree, instead you will be put into a dense forest and lost totally. I do not recomend the beginner to start with this book. I want the author to redesign the examples so that the topic be focused.

Charles II: The Last Rally2 reviews
Hilaire Belloc

Ihs Press, 2003

A Unique Interpretation of the Restoration King
I've read several biographies of Charles II, the best of them Antonia Fraser's, with Stephen Coote's more recent Royal Survivor much less so. Almost all treat their subject as intelligent, but lazy, at best, feckless and disloyal at worst. Belloc takes the unique view that Charles had a strong and well developed set of principles that were reasonably adapted to a free and just society, but ...
  
  











  



  
The Geography of the World Economy (Upgrade Your...)1 review
Paul Knox, John Agnew, ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

Good coverage but too many definitions in the first two chapters
This is one of the best textbooks I have seen on the growth of the world economy. It has historic depth and covers all parts of the world not just the US and Europe as do so many others. It also isn't obsessed with multinational corporations as if they were the only story about the evolution of the world economy. There are lots of interesting maps and boxes that even students who have only just ...

BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 2000

Technology as Experience1 review
John McCarthy, Peter Wright

The MIT Press, 2007

Unreadable
The author has managed to make a potentially interesting subject unreadable, by the use of multi-clause sentences, obtuse language, constant references to other people's work, and philosophy-speak. My guess is that this was originally written as an academic thesis. An example, chosen at random from the first chapter: "Lucy Suchman and Jean Lave have been two of the most influential ...
  
  











  



  
Mean Streets: Youth Crime and Homelessness (Cambridge Studies in Criminology)
John Hagan, Bill McCarthy

Cambridge University Press, 1998

This field study features intensive personal interviews of more than four hundred young people who have left home and school and are living on the streets of Toronto and Vancouver. The study examines why youth take to the streets, their struggles to survive there, their victimization and involvement in crime, their associations with other street youth, especially within "street families," their contacts with the police, and their efforts to ...

Coaching Youth Soccer: The Guide for Coaches and Parents1 review
John P Mccarthy Jr

Betterway Books, 2007

Coaching Youth Soccer: The Guide for Coaches, Parents and Athletes
You can really tell McCarthy has experience in coaching the sport as well as a keen understanding of the needs of young athletes and their parents. I found this book to be instrumental in guiding my son as a parent not only through a better grasp of the sport's strategies and rules but also simple drills to increase his ability to handle the ball and play well. The plethora of player-model ...
