Clubs Books

This "coffee table" style book works for me because of my passion for golf and my love for famous golf courses. Linda Hartough may be the best landscape artist I've seen in rendering these classic courses with the precision of modern day photography.

What I really got out of this book was a memory recollection of playing a majority of these courses. Looking at these paintings I was thrown into the distant memory of playing Pebble Beach, Olympic Club (Lake Course), Carnoustie, St. Andrews (Old Course), Royal Lytham, Royal Birkdale, and Royal Troon. It was like de ja vu all over again!

Also worth checking out are the Augusta National paintings. This might be her finest work. I especially liked her work on hole #'s 10,11,12, and 15. Augusta is the best course in the world. Second to none.

If Linda Hartough ever publishes paintings of the century old courses of Ireland, in particular the courses designed by Old Tom Morris and Alister Mackenzie; I will buy it. I would really like to see her render and paint the "classic" Irish courses of Ballybunion, Lahinch, Ardglass, Royal Portrush, Newcastle, and Royal County Down. Those classic links style courses are some of the finest on the earth.

Hallowed Ground is a beautiful book, capturing spectacular locations from the greatest courses in both America and the United Kingdom.
Included in this hardback collection of art by Linda Hartough is the fabled 7th hole at Pebble Beach, and many holes from Augusta National's Amen Corner. Pieces on each course by Jaime Diaz highlight battles that have taken place on the fairways, and give life to the paintings as showdowns on 18th greens are described.
What makes this book interesting is that when you see the life-like paintings and read about the classic golf that has gone on in that scene, you are able to put yourself in the picture. It is amazing to be able to watch the final round of the 1981 US Open just by reading this book.
To a true fan of golf, or anyone who loves a good coffee table book, Hallowed Grounds is a perfect edition to your collection. Buy this book today, and put yourself in the picture!

I was fortunate to have the Golf Channel on a few months ago. Linda Hartough, the artist featured in this book was on with a few of her originals. I immediately purchased the book. After browsing the book 3 or 4 times, taking in her breathtaking artwork, I decided to read a few of the writings by Jaime Diaz on some of my favorite courses. The writings are as enjoyable as the artwork. This book should become required reading for anyone playing the game, especially for golfers new to the game. They would gain a greater appreciation for golf. Thank you Linda Hartough and Jaime Diaz

The Saddle Club's number one practical joker, Stevie Lake, has decided to reform. The only problem is, nobody believes her. Maybe that's why no one in the cast of the movie Stevie is shooting for school will cooperate. 'Cinderella on Horseback? Puh-leeese! It has to be a setup to make them look stupid and give Stevie the last laugh. That's when the stars of the movie-Stevie's best friends, Carole Hanson and Lisa Atwood, and Stevie's boyfriend, Phil-plan a few tricks of their own. They're going to show Stevie that what goes around, comes around. The only problem is, the jokes are having a ripple effect. Everyone at Pine Hollow Stables is about to get a taste of practical joking, Saddle Club style.

I thought that this book was really good. I recommend it for children 8-12 years or over who likes doing pratical jokes and if you like horses. It has a bit of romance in it between Phil and Stevie but that is all. This book definitely gets 4 stars from me!

This was an excellent addition to the series. the prank on stevie was enormous and I couldn't stop laughing when I read about her origional report fairy tale documentary titled SLEEPING BEAUTY. And she filmed her brother sleeping in his kiddie pajamas. This book was Great!

this book is great. It is a normal saddle club book. If you haven't read it read it. Stevvie giving up practical jokes? Yeah right!

This is the best book I ever read. And that part when Stevie said she was going to give up practicle jokes that is impossible.I just want Bonnie Bryant to keep up the good work.

At first I didn't think this would be a good book. Stevie giving up practical jokes is almost impossible! However, I was wrong, this Saddle club is terrific!Personally, Iloved Sleeping Beauty even if Stevie's teacher didn't!!!!!Suzan

This is my favorite childhood book. I am now 26 and was discussing favorite childhood books with my husband when he said he had never heard of Chester. I ordered the book, we read it together, and he's now a Chester fan too. Can't wait to share this with our future children!

In this book, I learned not to belive in what other people say. Chester was a wild horse, he lived with other horses out in the west. Chester wanted for someone to take care of him but the other horses said that it was better to be a wild horse. Then people with ropes came and Chester asked them if they could take him but they did not take him they took the other horses. So it is better to do what you want, not what other people say.

Chester really wants to be caught by the cow boys, but to his surprise they only want the wild horses that run away. this takes him on an adventure through town trying to find out what he can be helpful with. Easy to read story. Great for the beginner ready.

This book answered all of the questions I had about investment clubs. Written in a casual, easily accessible way, this book gave precise and detailed information about founding or finding a club.
In the book, you'll learn about what work is actually involved with club membership; tips on assembling a group of committed people to be in a club with (plus tips on how to deal with troublesome member issues); and how to find and use investment and investment club resources to learn more about investing and to help keep your club running smoothly.
Whether you are simply interested in what investment clubs are and how they work, or you are serious about starting or joining an investment club, this book is a clearly written and fun way to learn about clubs. By going through each step of starting or becoming involved with an investment club, by dissecting the language of the legal documents your club must maintain, and by providing examples of actual investment clubs, this book covers it all, and will be an invaluable resource for the life of your club.

I just got through reading a number of books on investing. I had heard of the investment club movement. I did not know much about them. This book is a gem.
True to the series, it does have a gentle learning slope; there is nothing overwhelming, no challenging concepts. But it does break down the process of starting and running a club into clear, manageable pieces. I now want to start a club!
The investment philosophy is compelling. I would certainly encourage anyone interested in starting an investment club to read this book.

A great book on all aspects of starting a club. This is just what some friends and I are doing now - and I am so grateful that this book is available. It serves as a step-by-step "how to". Plus, it has great information on avoiding pit-falls and keeping club life fun and interesting.

As usual with the 'For Dummies' books, this one takes it easy. You can read it pretty quickly, it starts out quite simply and builds slowly. You don't think you're getting as much information as you are until you've finished.

Again as usual, this book is written by a couple of people who combine personal experience with a casual relaxed writing style. (For what it's worth, I've tried writing like this and it isn't easy.)

Most of us thinking about investment clubs already have some investing experience and think that we might be able to teach the club a lot. Most of us learn that the other people in the club can teach us a lot. Investment clubs attract the advanced amateur who bring specialized knowledge, their own experience, and above all enough questions that you might have forgotten to ask to make it well worth your while.

Great Way to Get Started.

If your looking to start an invesment club - This book is a MUST have! Already have an invesment club - This book is a MUST have! It will prove to be helpful and informative for new and existing clubs. This book along with information provided by the National Association of Investors Corporation (NAIC) will help clubs become successful, long-term investors.

Wrong. Jessi is accepted to be in the full-time program for the experts and has a very tough choice to make: her #1 goal or her friends and family back in Stoneybrook, Connecticut? What will she decide to do?

Jessi is going to New York to do ballet. In the book, Jessi meets Quint and likes him. Unfortunately, Quint has a crush on Jessi and she has to go home.

This is essential reading for anyone interested in conservation and those who simply love nature writing. I read this book before reading "The Wild Muir". In comparison, this one is obviously a more thorough overview of Muir's life. Reading this book first makes "Wild Muir" more enjoyable....kinda like reading a novel before watching a movie based on it.

This Autobiography of John Muir was a look at the life of an amazing man. He was the type of writer that could take you to the place where he was living and make you feel like you were right there with him. His childhood experiences in Scotland and the farm life of Wisconsin formed the basis for how he viewed and related to the rest of his life and those around him. He was a world traveler who looked through the eyes of creation to observe ecology and invention. As a world traveler I also observe through the eyes of creation and as a native Californian I have had extensive experience hiking and camping in the Sierra Nevada's. John Muir's writing style took me back to the places I have loved and remembered.

A great writer writing about great things - you'll feel like you're in the middle of the Sierra yourself. Endlessly enjoyable.

"American forests! the glory of the world!"
- John Muir, 1901

Of all the extraordinary men and women that have made our nation great, one stands above all others for his dedication to preserving its unequaled natural beauty: John Muir. Founder of The Sierra Club, this lover of the western forests' legacy to our generation is the National Park system, through which millions of acres of unique ecosystems have been set aside for everyone's enjoyment.

"Muir: Nature Writings" is a collection of the writings of this Scottish expatriate who first stepped foot in America in 1849 as an eleven year old brawler and budding naturalist. Blessed with a childhood mastery of Latin and Greek as well as a discerning and disciplined eye, the learned boy possessed a poet's heart, a scientist's mind, and a theologian's soul. A genius, who as a teen whittled precision wooden scientific instruments, Muir used his diverse skills to vividly portray nature's life and death struggles on his family's Wisconsin farm in "My Boyhood & Youth." Here we find Muir learning to swim by observing frogs or recollecting the mindless slaughter of the Earth's most numerous bird, the now-extinct passenger pigeon, a forlorn tale that foreshadows the conservationist he was to become.

While in college polishing his mechanical skills, Muir was detoured into studying botany. Dropping out to make powered tools for factories, an accident left him rethinking that detour; he forsook the factory and walked across America. His journey led him to the Sierra Mountains, chronicled in "My First Summer in the Sierra." Now working as a shepherd, Muir drove his flock through Yosemite while making detailed nature studies. Marveling at the natural beauty of the land he would eventually champion as one of the first National Parks, Muir wrote: "We are now in the mountains and they are in us, kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling every pore and cell of us. Our flesh-and-bone tabernacle seems transparent as glass to the beauty about us, as if truly an inseparable part of it, thrilling with the air and trees, streams and rocks, in the waves of the sun, - a part of all nature, neither old nor young, sick nor well, but immortal."

Muir's writings here run the gamut from analytical to thrilling. In "Stickeen", the author and a canine companion cheat death while stranded mid-storm between crevasses of an Alaskan glacier. (A self-taught authority on glaciers, Muir would eventually have one in Alaska bear his name.) "The Mountains of California" is an in-depth look at the geologic formations, plants, and animals of the region. In this piece, he tells of being stuck on the side of volcanic Mt. Shasta, staying warm in the bitter cold by nestling up to steam vents. Muir also laments the loss of the vast meadows of the San Joaquin Valley as he discusses how to make a living post-Gold Rush by raising bees for honey.

What makes Muir so unique when compared with today's environmentalists is this belief that we can live in harmony with Creation if we take simple steps to prevent despoiling it. In "The American Forests" he wrote: "No place is too good for good men, and there is still room.... Every place is made better by them. Let them be as free to pick gold and gems from the hills, to cut and hew, dig and plant, for homes and bread...." Muir's balanced view of Man's place in the wilderness overwhelmingly reflects his Christian faith, for he never fails to stand in awe of each living thing God has made. That our government leaders were so swayed by Muir's writing attests to the power of his "holy" persuasion. All of us are indebted to John Muir's single-minded devotion to America's wilderness.

("Muir: Nature Writings" is part of the Library of America series. This diverse collection of the writings of great Americans ranges from sermons of early American preachers to analysis of the Vietnam War. The works of Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, Ulysses S. Grant, Flannery O'Connor, and James Thurber are but a few that comprise the series. An invaluable lookingglass into the heart and soul of our nation, this collection is essential reading for anyone who longs to know what makes America unique.)

John Muir was one of the founders of the early 20th century conservation movement and godfather to today's environmentalism. This collection of three books and shorter works demonstrates the reason. Muir's description of the natural world is at times scientific, at others spiritual. Here nature is not some remote thing but the living manifestation of God's love. This is not a religious book as such and yet he finds that all parts of the natural creation from rocks and mountains to trees and animals have inherent within them a life force which makes them precious. Humans are neither removed from nor a "higher" part of nature. Muir shows that we are part of this larger whole - a radical concept when he proposed it and radical still. Muir set the standard in calling for preservation of the natural world. He was a genius as an inventor and scientist and, in addition, is one of our finest writers ever. These collected Nature Writings are simply beautiful and wonderfully presented in this Library of America edition.

Move over Pat Conroy. The plot really starts in Charleston, SC and ends in Charleston, SC. Could you have survived? This is a must read book. The scene changes are superbly managed and the plot is definitely spellbinding.

Robert Mixson is destined to be a sucessful rising Southern writer. His topic research is thorough. He writes with passion, as if he is Joshua. This is a book that holds the reader's interest and the scene descriptions are vivid. I felt as if I was witnessing the scenes. A wonderful and promising writer. A book that should be in every library. Thank you Mr. Mixson...look forward to your next book.

Robert Mixson weaves a tale on intrigue that keeps your attention and keeps you wondering where Joshua Senate is headed next. Joshua can't seem to be "just" a journalist - he finds adventure at every turn. The story has learning value as well: true friends are those who will drop everything and come running when you are in trouble and perseverance pays off. This story should appear on the big screen!

Mr. Mixson shows his exceptional writing abilities in this chronicle. It is truly a "sleeper" and should be on the bookshelves of many readers. While it may sound trite, the term "pageturner" comes to mind. I give two thumbs up to Robert Mixson's first novel and eagerly await the next one.

A fast-moving entertaining adventure story with something for everyone, Joshua Senate's story goes beyond the typical action tale. The author takes us inside the hero's head...and heart. Exotic locations, sinister enemies, reversals of fortune, love and tears...they're all here. What a movie this book would make! Joshua's adventures make for a real page-turner of a novel that never disappoints.

This book is scary but really good! I really like mysteries. When the Krushers are leaving a game, the bridge is flooded and the only place to stay is in a HAUNTED MANSION! They find a mystery in the mansion and end up finding out that the person involved in the mystery lives right in their own town Stoneybrook! I like this book because like I said, i love mysteries!

ISBN 0590449583 - I haven't been reading the BSC books in any particular order, which sometimes makes it confusing. Dawn and Mary Ann are stepsisters, they weren't in the last book I read; Stacey is in Stoneybrook, she was in New York the last I knew... It doesn't impact the book, as each one does stand alone, but I'd read them in order if I were to start again! That said, the Mystery books aren't numbered the same way as the others, so my only complaint is that I wouldn't have any idea where they fit into the series!

Kristy is the coach of a softball team named the Krushers. Bart coaches the Bashers. They form an all-star team from both of their teams and dub them the Krashers. Travelling home from Redfield after a game Kristy, Bart, Charlie and eight kids find themselves stranded by a storm. The only house in sight is a mansion where they had seen lights, so they head to it, hoping that they can call home to let their parents know they're okay. A smaller house on the property is occupied by an old man, who tells him he's the caretaker and lets them stay the night in the big house.

While they're there, the kids find a diary and other clues to a mystery. Owen Sawyer's portrait scares Jamie, who has heard that the Sawyer house is haunted - and now they're IN that house! Owen's daughter died on a night just like this, the night she had planned to elope with her boyfriend, Will. How long will they be trapped there? And will they meet Dorothy Sawyer's ghost while they wait for the storm to stop?

Very good story, not too scary but very interesting reading. I like that the BSC books always reference other books (and sometimes, movies) - in this case, Beezus and Ramona, Little Women, The Wizard of Oz, The Little Mermaid, Frog and Toad and Ghostbusters. I did find a few things odd. For one, Kristy says "I'm always reading these articles about people being struck by lightning and having their zippers welded shut and stuff, and the idea just scares the daylights out of me." Her greatest fear, if struck by lightning, is that she won't be able to open her zipper? That's stupid, and the BSC books aren't usually stupid. Also, having read a bunch of these books and never having come across the mention of a group hug before, it was a surprise to read "... a group hug. That's a BSC tradition..." On the positive side, I liked the reference to Resurrection Mary's story, even if she was never named, and even if her story gets told all over the country with a different name! And I really like that Martin pays attention to details, like remembering their horse-craziness by having Mallory and Jessi looking at a book of horse pictures. All around, just a teeny bit better than the usual BSC books, which are great to begin with!

Kristy and the haunted mansion is one of the best baby-sitters club books that I have read so far. I love baby-sitters club because it's always an adventure to experience. Kristy and her softball team got stuck in a thunderstorm and had to sleep in a big spooky mansion on sayer road. they snoop around and find out a lot of stuff about the people who used to live there and even met one of them. But they survived the night. The members of the baby-sitters club threw a party for Kristy when she got back to Stoneybrook.

When Kristy and the Krashers are forced to live inside a creepy mansion with a creepy mystery. One of Kristy's Krusher gets scared. They have to sleep there because of a terrible rain. Is Jackie's ghost story true like lights going on and off, a dead woman, ...

Kristy team has a softball game and when they are on there way home Charlie can not see where he is going. He takes the wrong way he crosses over a bridge. A storm is going on at the same time. when they cross over the bridge the bridge falls down. kristy and Bart's team have to spend this night at a old house that they think is hauted. will they make it though the night? Find out when you read this great book

I have never been a fiction fan, so when I started reading Regina Pounds book "Lord Eaglebeck" it was with some scepticism, but the canny way in which the writer entwines her fictional characters in with the actual history of the time the story appertains to, thus cleverly making the characters create an illusion of reality.
As with any good book the author's research into history and the imaginative story gives the novel credibility. If you like a good read, whether you are a fan of fiction or not, "Lord Eaglebeak" you will enjoy.
RSB.

Counts, Earls, Ladies-the titles of nobility conjure up wealthy, decorous sorts, waltzing quietly through carefully patterned lives. Elegant, foreign to our informal world, and occasionally rather annoying, when brought back to life in the pages of one or another regency romance-unless, of course, the book treats that titled world with well-deserved irreverence and wit. Lord Eaglebeak, by Regina Pounds, captures that intricate world of complicated social mores with dazzling command of language, bursts of sly wit, and the great attention to accuracy and detail commanded by a historical, regardless of its sub genre.
Pounds' characters capture readers immediately, creating the warm tapestry of a story not soon forgotten. Spirited Henrietta-Hetty-is vibrant, determined, and vulnerable, forced by the social rules of the day to wed, whether ready to do so or not. Hetty refuses the demands of the high-ranking Lord Ashton, her best friend's father, but jeopardizes her future and safety as a result. Faced with a young stepmother's manipulations, she finds herself forced to accept the offer of protection from Richard Darby, whose German title and beautiful German ward have drawn comment from less than charitable tongues.
Hetty routinely finds names of "affection" for those around her; she dubs her fiancé Lord Eaglebeak, much to his chagrin-the famous nose earning him his nickname is a family trait, shared by the eccentric Lady Pembroke, Richard's aunt. Vengeance is sweet, though, and his own reluctant betrothed becomes the prickly Lady Hedgehog. What more aristocratic-or mutually unsuitable-pair than Lord Eaglebeak and Lady Hedgehog?

Pounds' dialogue sparkles, while her characters engage readers, leading them towards unsuspected mystery and revelation. Lord Eaglebeak will captivate, entertain, and charm-not a bad list of accomplishments by any means. Brighten up your January reading with this foray into the world of aristocracy, social graces, and unfailing wit.

If you like Regency Romances, then you MUST read Lord Eaglebeak. If you don't like Regency Romances, you still MUST read Lord Eaglebeak!

This book is easy to read, yet, the author, Regina Pounds, stays true to the time period in which the story takes place. I fell in love with the heroine, who is in the habit of "secretly" nicknaming everyone. So funny! And I fell in love with the hero, because, well...he is just that, a hero.

So, again, read this book. You wont' regret it!

It's obvious quickly that this author is very familiar with history, at least with the era of the Regency, and with the language that's appropriate for that time. Just read the prologue, and you'll see. What I didn't see right away was the author's great sense of humor. It becomes clear soon, though, this book was written for the fun of it. Throw in drama and secrets and a cast of eccentric characters, who all are so human you forget they lived in a different 'world' and you've got a terrific read.

Love this delightful author and her great sense of humor! Ms. Pounds, award winning author of "Theo's Ghost" draws on her obvious love and vast knowledge of history in this 'MUST READ' Regency Romance.

"LORD EAGLEBEAK," a love story so entertaining the readers will find themselves literally glued to their cozy chairs excitedly turning the pages of this book as swiftly as they can.

Ms. Pounds has done an excellent job with her vast love for and obvious knowledge of this (the Regency time period) -- Her characters are delightful and the dialogue appropiate for this era, and the plot has just the right mix of suspense a combinaton that I find very appealing.

The reader can sum the entertainment level of this story up in the first line of 'LORD EAGLEBEAK's' BLURB -- 'Can love turn a coward into a hero and a wise man into a moron?'

An Excellent Read by a wonderful writer!

"LORD EAGLEBEAK" could very well be the next 'Box Office Smash Hit!'

Lost (part three) is such a departure from the first six chapters of Moments and Milestones that I almost could not believe it was part of the same story.
The author; Timothy Mulder takes the reader boldly and with courageous honesty along for the ride as he dives deep into denial, drug addiction and betrayal of self.
After witnessing him fully blossom into a proud self-realized gay man in 'Lonely', this willful self destruction was painful to behold.
He never looses his sense of wit and seems to learn powerful lessons along the way, so I can only hope for a light at the end of the tunnel.

Riveting storytelling.

"Lost" continues Timothy Mulder's trek through life, and as the title implies, the period covered by this book is dark, indeed. It covers his fall into drug abuse and the problems he suffers in his relationships and life in general during a very tough period, leading to what amounts to a spiritual collapse.

To be entirely honest, writing a review for this book is difficult. The author's life as depicted in "Lost" is such a huge departure from anything in my own personal experience that it's hard for me to find a frame of reference. I've been blessed with a comparatively easy life, no substance abuse problems (either for myself or others in my family), and while I've had a number of challenges now and then, I can only give thanks that I've never had to see the sort of hell the author has lived through. I have been extraordinarily blessed.

But, upon reflection, that's truly the power of this book and the others in Timothy Mulder's series: I believe that sharing his traumatic experiences helps those of us who haven't had to go down that road appreciate how good we have it, and hopefully makes us more understanding - and respectful - of those who have.

I am enjoying my journey through the chapters of Mr. Mulder's memoir. Once again, I am captivated by his lifestyle involving drug use, nightclubs, and the people he associated with during those times. I am leaving this chapter with the feeling of satisfaction of having been somewhere, yet frustrated because I am left wanting more. It is with great anticipation that I look forward to the next chapter.

Anticipating another winner I found one. Mulder writes with wisdom of hindsight but realistically not leaving anything out incuding his own mistakes. Nothing hides in the closet with this riveting sequel.
Still wanting more. Can't wait.

Timothy Mulder's first-hand perceptions of gay domestic life in America is far from fragile and right on target. In fact, it's so frank, it's courageous. LOST shows us a gay man who lives through the domestic issues that gay couples live. The question of fidelity, jealousy, open-relationships, alcohol, drugs, white picket fences, and even the picking out of the family dog. In short, modelling a union on heterosexual patterns. This soon slides into redefinition, showing that all relationships are prone to a maelstrom of symtoms that could (and in this case do)amount to potential self-destruction.

LOST is an engrossing middle passage, and I for one, can't wait to see what happens in Mr. Mulder's next issue. Great read.
