The pictures by Graham Watson are always outstanding.

Even though we already know the bare facts: Who-What-When-Where, the author gives us the WHY and the HOW - making each game come alive again. I felt like I was with these teams from the meeting rooms to the practice fields and right into the game-day lockerroom...this is a MUST-READ which will turn even the casual ...             War As They Knew It: Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, and America in a Time of Unrest186 reviews Michael Rosenberg Grand Central Publishing, 2009 well balanced and well documented Michael Rosenberg's WAR AS THEY KNEW IT is a well-researched and thoughtful look at the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry that defined much of college football in the late l960's and early '70's.

The subtitle of the book is "Three Extraordinary Men, A World Poised for War, and the Greatest Tennis Match Every Played" and it is all this, and so much more. It is certainly the very best tennis book I've ever read but even for non-tennis players, this book will hold you from first page until ...             Becoming A Master Student, 12th edition12 reviews Dave Ellis Houghton Mifflin, 2007 Highly Recommend This Book If they offer this class at your college, take it! If not, the book should still be a big help. I had been out of school for 20 years so my study skills were rusty. I ended up graduating with honors. I couldn't have done it, if not for this book and class. Of course, my book was an earlier edition, but I have to believe it would only improve. I almost think it should be required reading for ...             U Chic: The College Girl's Guide to Everything9 reviews Christie Garton Sourcebooks, Inc., 2009 Love it! I love the amount of detail this book goes into. It covers everything you want to know as an incoming freshman from healthy eating habits, to sorority rushes. It has real college girls biographies, which makes the book very readable, and relatable. This is the perfect gift for a highschool senior or highschool grad!             The Open Book: Celebrating 40 Years of America's Grand Slam with DVD4 reviews United States Tennis Association Triumph Books, 2008 Great photos, and more. The first thing I did when I opened this book was to look at the pictures; all of them! The photography is so spectacular that I couldn't stop until I saw them all. The Open Book is a history of the US Open Tennis Championships during the 40 years of the "open" (professional) era of tennis. It covers each decade since the beginning of the open era in 1968, using photos, statistics, and ...             Fastnet, Force 10: The Deadliest Storm in the History of Modern Sailing, New Edition22 reviews John Rousmaniere W.W. Norton & Co., 2000 The best description of the 1979 Fastnet disaster John Rousmaniere is a well known sailing writer who knows whereof he writes. He was aboard one of the yachts in the 1979 Fastnet Race when they were struck by the worst storm in the history of competitive sailing. The weather forecast was not for severe weather although the English Channel and the Western Approaches have been known for bad weather since the Armada in 1588.

What is especially entertaining is the way it is written. The format makes for excellent "reading bites" that do not require long sessions turning pages. Every two pages is a complete story. There are eleven chapters and two pages within each chapter that tell a story of significance history about the tour; one ...             26 Miles to Boston: The Boston Marathon Experience from Hopkinton to Copley Square16 reviews Michael Connelly The Lyons Press, 2003 Contemplating running a marathon as a lifetime achievement? I bought this book for me and my sister-in-law in 2003 when she and I decided to run the Boston Marathon for the first time. Yes, we were bandits as were around 5000 others who wanted to experience running a marathon in the premier marathon of them all.

A must read for anybody with at-the-edge adventure in his or her heart!             Love and Blood: At the World Cup with the Footballers, Fans, and Freaks12 reviews Jamie Trecker Harvest Books, 2007 A Fun Read I enjoyed this book as much as Bill Buford's "Among the Thugs." It's the same mix of humor, first-person observation, and mini-history lessons, all woven together in a breezy, entertaining style. A lot of "Love & Blood" focuses on off-the-pitch fan activity in bars, train stations, public squares, and more. This is not a book simply about which countries won/lost the games in Germany. Trecker ...             The 100 Sporting Events You Must See Live: An Insider?s Guide to Creating the Sports Experience of a Lifetime11 reviews Robert Tuchman BenBella Books, 2009 A Home Run! If you're a sports fan or even just a fan of travel (even better if you are both), this book is a must-read. Tuchman takes you from your couch cushion, subway seat or wherever else you may be sitting when you are reading this book and makes you feel like you are sitting in the crowd, observing these events first-hand. I really love the fact that this is a book that I will use as a resource ...             The Mis-Education of the Negro54 reviews Carter Godwin Woodson Wilder Publications, 2009 Great Read!!! Would recommend this book. It gives a deeper understanding of today, by looking at yesterday and how some of yesterday's issues are repeating themselves today.             Blacktop Cowboys: Riders on the Run for Rodeo Gold9 reviews Ty Phillips Thomas Dunne Books, 2006 Brilliantly Captured I had read a glowing review of Blacktop Cowboys that piqued my interest. Though my husband describes me as a neo-aristocratic fashionista, little did he know that up to the age of 11 I rode western saddle and particpated in, albeit very small, local rodeos. There is something about these men (and women) who capture a part of America that holds a seemingly romantic life. Hats off, literally, to ...             Exploring Leadership: For College Students Who Want to Make a Difference (Jossey Bass Higher and Adult ...2 reviews Susan R. Komives, Nance Lucas, ...
