W Pub Group, 2007. Hardcover. As New. Everyone Needs a Second Chance on the Course and In Life Paul McAllister was a driven man. Ivy League educated and the founder of a multimillion dollar business, Paul was a success in everything but life-and golf. It only took one Pro-Am afternoon, one short putt, and one airborne putter to send his world flying in a different direction: a mulligan! Golf's gracious do-over, a mulligan is the beginning of Paul's own second c hance. Guided by the wisdom and advice of an Old Pro, Paul learns about pri orities, about self-confidence, and about playing a good game both on and o ff the course. Written in the appealing "parable" style of other best-selling books such a s Who Moved My Cheese?, Gungo Ho! , and Whale Done! , golf pro Wally Armstr ong and author Ken Blanchard condense decades of practical know-how into a simple book with an amazing message. The Mulligan is a second chance to change it all, and improve both your lif e and your game! Editorial Reviews Review 'For those who have learned that golf is more than just a game, The Mulliga n will be welcome reading that will provide helpful insights not just for t heir golf game, but for their lives as well.' -- Ben Crenshaw, two-time Mas ters Champion and 2002 inductee to the World Golf Hall of Fame --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title., W Pub Group, 2007, 5, London: Victor Gollancz.

Playing string quartets is, perhaps, the most specialised branch of chamber music, itself a specialised branch of musical performance. But it is one of increasing popularity, both on the part of listeners and of players-the present easy access for most people to recorded music has removed all fear of "difficulty" on the part of the listeners, and the improvement in technique fostered by today's teaching of music in the schools, and by such organisations as the Youth Orchestra, has led more and more amateur and, indeed, professional musicians to find relaxation in quartet-playing. But until now there has been no book dealing specifically with the special technical and interpretative problems involved. This book is the first to do so, and it fills the gap in an extraordinarily practical and comprehensive manner. The author, herself a long-standing addict and a fiddler of no mean accomplishment, begins by discussing elementary problems: the best methods of seating arrangement; music stands; style, in music, in performance, and specifically in quartet-playing. She analyses the general principles of playing together: the importance of players listening to one another, of being able to read at sight while doing so; and the relationships within the group, social and psychological as well as instrumental. She gives excellent and detailed advice on methods of rehearsing and on the value to a seriously-working ensemble of playing through works. ., Victor Gollancz, 1963, 2.5, Kirkwood, New York, U.S.A.: Putnam Pub Group. 3/-1. 2000.

Weiner's novel centers around four new mothers, all of whom must learn to adjust their lives and their marriages to deal with the challenges of raising children. Ayinde is a beautiful, biracial newscaster who moves to Philadelphia after her husband, a star player for the NBA, is traded to the 76ers. She meets Becky, an overweight chef who plays the "pregnant or just fat" game every time she passes a mirror, and Kelly, an overachieving event planner who has her whole life mapped out down to the most minute details, after going into labor at a prenatal yoga class. The three become fast friends, and come to rely on each other for everything from burping techniques to intense emotional support. The group grows to include Lia, a semi-famous Hollywood starlet who leaves her husband and returns to Philly after a sudden tragedy. While Little Earthquakes may leave little to the imagination, and some of the characters are laughably stereotypical (the Mama's boy Jewish doctor and the cheating ball player, to name a few) , it is Weiner's gift for creating compelling characters with whom her readers can identify that make her such a successful storyteller. --Gisele Toueg --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. From Publishers Weekly In her first and second bestsellers, Good in Bed and In Her Shoes, Weiner came up with female characters so smart, lovable and mordantly funny that they reminded readers that Bridget Jones wasn't the first single woman to light up a bestseller list or the big screen--there were Sheila Levine, Mary and Rhoda, the Golden Girls. Now, just as the star-studded movie version of In Her Shoes is about to be released, Weiner delivers the interwoven tale of four new mothers who come to form a tight posse in contemporary Philadelphia. The heart of this third-person narrative is Becky, an overweight but thoroughly appealing chef at a chic bistro. Married to an adoring doctor and living in a cozy row house, the warm, nurturing Becky is the latest incarnation of Weiner's previous protagonists, as Weiner's fans will recognize as she rushes to help another woman who collapses into sudden, crushing labor pains after a prenatal yoga class ("Being in labor all by herself --no husband around, no friend to hold her hand--was about the worst thing she could imagine, " Becky thinks. "Well, that and having her midriff appear on one of those 'Obesity: A National Epidemic' news reports") . The woman whom Becky helps is Ayinde, the gorgeous wife of an NBA superstar. Picturesquely if improbably, she, Becky and another expectant mom, perky blonde Kelly (who was also at the fateful yoga class and lent a helping hand) become fast friends. Eventually, Lia, a beautiful young actress who has left Hollywood for her hometown of Philadelphia in the wake of a tragedy, joins the group. For much of the story, Weiner, a wonderful natural writer and storyteller, renders her characters and their messy, sometimes wrenching lives in details that resonate as the real deal. In the end, alas, she slips in a soapy Hollywood ending. Still, this is a rich portrayal of new motherhood and a fun ride. Weiner's readers will root for her to trust ever more her ability to float between comedy and pathos, leaving the shallows for true and surprising depths. © Reed. ., Washington Square Press, 2005, 3, There once was a time when the concept of equal pay for equal work did not exist, when women of all ages were "girls," when abortion was a back-alley procedure, when there was no such thing as a rape crisis center or a shelter for battered women, when "sexual harassment" had not yet been named and defined. "If conditions are right," Susan Brownmiller says in this stunning memoir, "if the anger of enough people has reached the boiling point, the exploding passion can ignite a societal transformation." In Our Time tells the story of that transformation, as only Brownmiller can. A leading feminist activist and the author of Against Our Will , the book that changed the nation's perception of rape, she now brings the Women's Liberation movement and its passionate history vividly to life. Here is the colorful cast of characters on whose shoulders we stand--the feminist icons Betty Friedan, Kate Millett, Germaine Greer, and Gloria Steinem, and the lesser known women whose contributions to change were equally profound. And here are the landmark events of the era: the consciousness-raising groups that sprung up in people's living rooms, the mimeographed position papers that first articulated the new thinking, the abortion and rape speak-outs, the daring sit-ins, the underground newspaper collectives, and the inventive lawsuits that all played a role in the most wide-reaching revolution of the twentieth century. Here as well are Brownmiller's reflections on the feminist utopian vision, and her dramatic accounts, rendered with honesty and humor, of the movement's painful internal schisms as it struggled to give voice to the aspirarations of all women. Finally, Brownmiller addresses that most relevant question: What is the legacy of feminism today?, The Dial Press, 3<

Anmol Publications Pvt. Ltd., 1992. Hardcover. New. It has been a long time since the readers had a well-argumented analysis of theoretical aspects of foreign policy planning and relations of the past half a century. It is high time the foreign policy planning and relations of the past half a century. It is high time the foreign policy framers cast-off the blinkers of dogmatism and confrontation and describe from positions of the new thinking, the evolution of foreign policy concepts. The nations are formulating their foreign policy doctrines on the basis of their contacts with the outside world. The author`s creative reasoning on some foreign policy issues shows that he has managed to break free from the cobweb of outdated dogmas. Attempts by political leaders of any country to export their ideas and way of thinking to the outside world no doubt have deep roots in its history. The messianic all for a stepped up class struggle was seen in foreign policy doctrines of both the Soviet Union and China, "Forget the past, look to the future" is a description of Sino-Soviet relations which has become well known. But it is politicians rather than historians who can afford to say a thing like that. As a true historian, the author seeks to provide answers to many questions that have lost none of their topicality: What were Soviet foreign policy-makers miscalculations that contributed to the strategic rapprochement between Beijing and Washington in the 1970s? Why did China finally give up its cooperation with the West spearheaded against the USSR and decided to normalize Sino-Soviet relations in the 1980s? Global changes are looking differently to different nations and group of nations: it cannot seem similar from Delhi, Moscow, Washington and Beijing. India has to make its own appraisal and identify the emerging realignment of forces as helpful or injurious to its national and international interests. This is the first task of foreign policy in contemporary eta; a deep, continuing appraisal of World forces at work and identification of changes that are conducive to India as well as forces that are actually or potentially hostile. It is a book which must appeal to scholars from a background of knowledge of either foreign policy affairs-diplomacy or international relations, and would also be an interesting account for the diplomats. If there is a weakness, it is that the reader may at times become bogged down in a mass of detailed recollections, so that one may lose the thread of events. It is here that the detailed introduction given by the author is invaluable in setting the stage. The present volume is a notable addition to our understanding of international relations and history of foreign policy planning. This book confirms that the study of foreign policy is a rich source of tough academic questions, especially in the field of international affairs. Printed Pages: 182., Anmol Publications Pvt.
