Players Books

I used this book to help with my daughter's overall soccer skills and general knowledge base. It was written concisely and logically and was easy to follow. I highly recommend it.

The book deals with all the main technical and positional parameters whilst not neglecting attitude to the game in general. The language is clear and concise and leaves no room for confusion. In essence, the language of a good coach.
One can study the contents in total for an overview of all that is necessary to play the game well whilst appreciating those that execute the focused skills at the highest level. Moreover, it is a gem of a reference for those players and coaches who wish to quickly jump into a specific coaching topic to refresh a weak area of their game or coaching programme.
This is an ideal tool for players and coaches in junior squads.
I enjoyed the read and my only regret is that such a book was not available in my formative years in soccer.

101 Theatre Games is one of the best books I've come across for educators. Johansen does a great job in making drama easy and accessible for students. She does this without compromising the depth of the subject. As an educator, I was impressed by the practicality of the book. The author does not write on and on about the theories involved in drama. She outlines activities and gives examples of many exercises to begin immediately. The games are not just fun, they really do teach with the goal of instilling a love and appreciation for the theatre.

The Macmillan Baseball Encyclopedia is simply the best source of information and statistics on baseball around. Other books like Total Baseball give the same information but none are able to deliver it with the clarity of Macmillan. For some reason this baseball bible hasn't been issued since 1997 and baseball is doing its fans a great disservice. Macmillan was the first and as of yet it is the best baseball encyclopedia out there. Even if you can only get a hold of the older editions i still recommend you purchase this concise, easy to read book. Just using it to reference the old time ball players that you always hear mentioned makes this book worth every penny. Once you read this book you'll never want to watch another baseball game without it in your reach. Highly recommended.

We started a tradition at my school with all the plays written by carol kaplan. Every April is "evening at the opera." It has become something the school and community look forward to. they are wonderful. It is a Kdg. project.We want to know if there are more plays available.

Pros: The book is small in size (approximately 7 1/2" by 7 1/4"), making it easily transportable. Content of author's chapters are concise and well laid out with easily understood explanations and directions. Graphics are excellent, although some a tad bit small. However, in keeping with the size of the book it makes perfectly good sense to have the graphics fit proportionately!
Cons: None.

The authors combine the 40 techniques into 9 chapters with a beginning introduction to the iPod and ITunes. Since the latest iTunes is now up to 7.0.2 there are some differences. However, the opening Introduction covers both the Mac and Windows side of installation.

Chapter 1 is Getting Started and covers the basics of the iPod and goes into iTunes. There is opening page to each Chapter which describes what you will find in the chapter. They give good suggestions about the use of your iPod as far as battery usage and what to not use to conserve battery life. This first chapter is 55 pages and covers 10 techniques including Technique 11. Transcoding Audio which becomes a little more technical, but still useful especially when one wants to convert an audio file from one format to another.

Expanding Your Audio Collection which deals with the iTunes Music Store, Podcasts and even free music which is Technique 15. While the iTunes store is great it is nice to know and find that you can download music for free and do so legitimately.

A chapter is devoted to the iPod Nano (not including the latest IPod Nanos recently released from Apple.

There is a Chapter for the IPod Shuffle [p.108 DO THE SHUFFLE. - older models obviously, however there are good suggestions and uses for using your Shuffle as a flash drive.

A chapter is devoted to accessories (Chapter 7). This shows just a small amount of accessories and even then a book unto itself would be needed at this juncture to reflect all of the various add ons and what not which have come about with the introduction of the iPod.

Chapter 8 covers the Maintenance and Troubleshooting, which also includes the Windows information for those folks who haven't or do not own a Mac. I was reading the book at my part time job and an individual stopped and asked me a question about an iPod. I went to the chapter, read him the solution and he walked away, a very grateful individual. I suggested he acquire this book to help him and his friend for future answers.

All in all I would say this is a great little book and I enjoyed reading this and applying the suggestions offered by the authors. Another aspect of the book was the way it included those items for the PC, not that I have any desire to own one, however I thought it was fair to cover both I will probably go and acquire some of the other books which are displayed in the inside back cover.
