"Every weekend golfer should read this great book." - CAMILO VILLEGAS
(Multiple time PGA Tour winner). Have you ever wondered why the average
handicap on the USGA has barely improved in the last 20 years? The
answer is very simple: a) The Golf Swing is very difficult to understand
and to perform. b) The average weekend golfer would love to improve but
doesnt have the time or the interest to spend long hours practicing.
After studying the golf swing for over 25 years, JF Tamayo has developed
a revolutionary method proved for the weekend golfer of any level to
significantly improve distance and accuracy from day one, based on three
main principles: 1) FOCUS ON CHANGES THAT MOST POSITIVELY AFFECT
RESULTS: Opposite to the traditional methods, this book will only ask
you to make changes in the most relevant parts of the swing needed to
hit solid and consistent shots: the backswing and the transition between
the backswing and the downswing. 2) LEARN HOW TO DEVELOP AN EASY,
REPEATABLE AND SOLID BACKSWING: One of the biggest breakthroughs of the
method was the development of a unique and much easier way to
consistently make a solidly sound backswing that will look similar to
the new Tiger Woods one plane backswing but much simpler to learn, to do
and to repeat. 3) LEARN HOW TO CREATE LAG: Being able to increase lag
during the downswing is one of the major differences between the
amateur's golf swing versus a professional's and probably one of the
most misunderstood concepts of golf. In this book you will easily learn
how to lag the club like the pros, dramatically improving your clubhead
speed, ball striking ability and distance. This incredible and simple
method will instantly take your game to a higher level while you will be
helping others since 50% of the profits obtained from this project will
be donated to charity.

Everest: The First Ascent: How a Champion of Science Helped to Conquer the Mountain
Winner of the Banff Mountain Book Competition and the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature
Harriet Tuckey's book is both the history of what went into the first successful ascent of Mt. Everest in 1953 and a biography of her father, Dr Griffith Pugh, whose role was absolutely pivotal, yet mostly untold. As the expedition's physiological consultant, Pugh designed almost every aspect of the survival strategy for the expedition, the acclimatization program, the oxygen- and fluid-intake regime, the diet, the clothing and the high altitude boots. Without him and his work, the ascent of Everest would have been impossible.

From Black Sox to Three-Peats: A Century of Chicago's Best Sportswriting from the Tribune, Sun Times, and Other Newspapers
Bears, Bulls, Cubs, Sox, Blackhawks--there's no city like Chicago when
it comes to sports. Generation after generation, Chicagoans pass down
their almost religious allegiances to teams, stadiums, and players and
their never-say-die attitude, along with the stories of the city's best
(and worst) sports moments. And every one of those moments--every
come-from-behind victory or crushing defeat--has been chronicled by
Chicago's unparalleled sportswriters.
In "From Black Sox to Three-Peats," veteran Chicago sports columnist Ron Rapoportassembles one hundred of the best columns and articles from the "Tribune," "Sun-Times," "Daily News, Defender, "and other papers to tell the unforgettable story of a century of Chicago sports. From Ring Lardner to Rick Telander, Westbrook Pegler to Bob Verdi, Mike Royko to Hugh Fullerton, Melissa Isaacson to Brent Musburger, and on and on, this collection reminds us that Chicago sports fans have enjoyed a wealth of talent not just on the field, but in the press box as well. Through their stories we relive the betrayal of the Black Sox, the cocksure power of the '85 Bears, the assassin's efficiency of Jordan's Bulls, the Blackhawks' stunning reclamation of the Stanley Cup, the Cubs' century of futility--all as seen in the moment, described and interpreted on the spot by some of the most talented columnists ever to grace a sports page.
Sports are the most ephemeral of news events: once you know the outcome, the drama is gone. But every once in a while, there are those games, those teams, those players that make it into something more--and great writers can transform those fleeting moments into lasting stories that become part of the very identity of a city. "From Black Sox to Three-Peats" is Chicago history at its most exciting and celebratory. No sports fan should be without it.
