Paperback. Condizione: Good. Intended as a supplement to her popular book How to Master a Great Golf Swing, this motivational book emphasizes how golfers themselves contribute to and impact the game they are already playing. The seemingly unexplainable experience of having played "in the zone"?a round of golf where someone played far beyond their own expectations?is attributable to a crystallization of knowledge and technique, Lupo contends, along with a positive attitude toward the sport's challenges. The author further describes how golfers can help themselves by recognizing and dealing with problems in their games, such as balance and coordination. Finally, Lupo addresses personality and character issues that can stand in the way of achieving perfection on the links. Lupo, Dom (illustratore).…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. From a celebrated poet and horsewoman, the journal of her astonishing recovery after a nearly fatal accident. In July 1998, Maxine Kumin suffered a terrible accident when her horse bolted at a carriage-driving clinic. Ninety-five percent of such victims die before reaching the emergency room. Of those who do survive, ninety-five percent are paralyzed for life. But Kumin, less than a year later, was pronounced "a miracle." This is the journal of her astonishing recovery. Though at first words threatened to elude her, writing (at first by dictating) became a way of maintaining her sanity. Kumin tells of her time "inside the halo," the near-medieval device that kept her head immobile during the weeks of intensive care and rehabilitation. During the long evenings she gets hooked on the Red Sox, muses on the state of the world, and forms lasting "rehab" friendships. She salutes the loving family who always believed she would heal and who "kept the garden going as a way of keeping me going." Maxine Kumin is the kind of person about whom it is said "they don't make them like that any more." She swerves from despair to hope to unshakable determination as this harrowing yet heartwarming story of a fighter and survivor unfolds.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Tanya has worked at her tavern since she was able to see over the bar. She broke up her first fight at eleven. By the time she was a teenager she knew everything about the place, and she could run it with her eyes closed. She'd never let anyone--whether it be a drunkard or a captain of the queen's guard--take advantage of her. But when her guardian dies, she might lose it all: the bar, her home, her purpose in life. So she heads out on a quest to petition the queen to keep the tavern in her name--dodging unscrupulous guards, a band of thieves, and an enchanted (and powerful) feather that seems drawn to her. Fastpaced, magical, and unapologetically feminist, Wench is epic fantasy like you've never seen it before.…
