Ian Browne, who so ably chronicles the Red Sox for mlb.com, has provided us with a wonderful inside look at one of the most compelling stories from the team's 2007 season. In describing the acquisition and first season of Japanese pitching star Daisuke Matsuzaka, he gives us a clear picture of the business decision making process that brought Dice-K to the team and then thoughtfully interweaves vignettes focusing on cultural diversity, team-building, and the road to a World Series championship. The book is far more than an expanded internet column. Even for those of us who follow the Red Sox all season, this book is a nail-biter. It should provide reading pleasure to both baseball lovers and others interested in the interfaces among business, sports, and intercultural challenges.

There are some players who produce seasons that transcend mere success or failure, and Daisuke Matsuzaka was one of them in 2007. Fortunately, Ian Browne was able to expertly chronicle what became a rivoting story within a story. The book is thorough, insightful and entertaining, more than doing justice to a year-long drama no baseball fan will soon forget.

Steve Teel, author, is a really down to earth spiritual man. He is a good author and a great speaker. I enjoyed this book so much. It was an easy read. Not complicated, and you can relate to all aspects of the story. I hope he continues to write these fictional based, spiritual books. I have passed this book onto my 12 year old son. I believe he will really enjoy it.

This book is a must have for sports enthusiasts, young athletes, coaches, christians, and anyone searching for some answers. The Difference Maker really teaches some great life lessons while entertaining you in the process. Filled with pop-culture references and humerous one liners, once you start The Difference Maker, you won't be able to put it down.

I really enjoyed this book, the characters were very believable and the story unfolded in a way that left me wanting to know what happened to many of the people after the book ended.

I really enjoyed the photos too, Portugal is apparently a beautiful country.

I hope another book by these authors is available soon.

This book is about women who learn to choose for themselves. In their learning the reader accompanies them from comfortable sameness to examination, Portugal and realization. It is a pleasant, reflective journey full in interesting people and places.

Two forty something sisters from the United States are lured into a transatlantic quest to find refuge for the ashes of a beloved aunt and in so doing discover and resolve a century old family mystery and the intricacies of blood lines it created. `Father" Helen and Tyner, the two sisters, combine humor, sibling rivalry, family history and personal secret keeping into a months long steady unraveling of lives and their re assembly. The reader gets to know and adore Helena and her sister, but the real "star" of the book is the dry moist, warmish cool bright shadowy air of Portugal itself. We walk winding streets, dodge dogs, perspire, and enjoy a relaxing tea among ancient buildings, reassuring grave yards and lovely suspicious and generous people. The life of the village is filled with bird song, gardens slightly weedy, brick roads and arched bridges.

Of course, Ty and Helen find their Portuguese family and of course they are as delightful and interesting as the sisters themselves. Of course, life decisions are explored: "What form is love to take? How do intellectual stimulation, creative juices, intimacy fit into a life of work, laundry, bill paying and raising children?" The authors of the book do not resolve this balancing act for all of us- more is the pity. The resolution is just for the sisters and their friends, husband, child and lover. The resolution is both tidy (handy that) and believable.

Most anyone who liked the Mitford Series will enjoy this book. It embraces the struggle of all of us who have solve life's urgencies for food, shelter and adolescence and sorts out through the perspective of the sisters at least one answer to the human need to create, to love, to laugh at ourselves and avoid large dogs. I enjoyed it and recommend it.

good seller, quick shipment, book in good condition. also recommend the book. it's a great story.

My son love's basketball. He is 18. He had to have this. Great gift for any basketball lovers in your life.

MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER LOVED FOR ME TO READ THIS STORY TO HER IN THE EARLY 80'S. LITTLE DID I KNOW I WOULD END UP WITH A GRANDSON NAMED CALEB.

In this delightful Steig classic Kate and Caleb argue over something silly. A furious Caleb wanders into the forest and falls asleep under a tree. While he dreams, a witch turns him into a dog. He comes home, of course, but can only bark. The bereft Kate wonders what became of her faithful mate, fearful that he did not know how much she cared, until one night robbers steal into the house, her dog scares them off and the witch's evil spell is undone. When Caleb is once again himself, he resumes a loving life with Kate. A great story to show kids that while grownups sometimes argue, they still love one another, and usually make up.

There is something about this book that will touch you. It will enlightened you with the Christmas spirit as you read the wonderful tale of one a Santa's elves and his love for the game of basket ball. This little novel will make you laugh and smile with Christmas joy. Written with such Character that made you love everyone in the book. An enjoyable read. This book is just like the classic specials, "Rudolph The Red Nosed Rain Dear" or "Frosty the Snowman!". It won't seem like Christmas until you have read Elves Can't Dunk. Written for 6 and up, but all ages will enjoy this Christmas tale!

"Elves Can't Dunk" is a delightful story appropriate for kids ages 6-10 who are comfortable with chapter books. The colorful cover is eye-catching, and Robert Skead proves to be a first rate children's writer with his witty interaction between the good guys and the bad. This story is a lot of fun, plus there is a good moral in the end. For kids who love basketball, this holiday story will certainly be right up their alley.

This book is a must for all basketball coaches, no matter what kind of defense they use. Coach Paye addresses all the defenses in seperate areas of the book. This book includes drills that will strengthen not only individual defensive play, but team play as well. What seperates this book from the rest is Coach Paye does not leave out even the smallest of details. This is true of every book Coach Paye has written.

Given to me by a women's college coach,this is the best book I've seen that breaks defensive skills into not only specific drills BUT tells which defense needs this skill and which does not. I am amazed at the insight some of the drills portray. I thank him for writing this book.

As a math teacher, I was able to keep my students motivated and interested in my math lessons much more easier with this set of fantasy math sport workbooks without falling behind schedule. My students success in math with the use of these workbooks and the additional support from the websites insipired me to start an after school program based on Fantasy Sport. I would recomend these workbooks to any teachers or parents who want to improve their students or childs' math skills.

I recently bought this book and I can't wait to get started with my students! We just finished drafting our basketball teams, and we will start competition after Christmas break. We are finishing up fantasy football season right now, and my students loved it. Dan's fantasy sports are easy to implement, even if you are not familiar with sports.

Frank and Joe have launched themselves into a big pickle, helping their star basketballer friend, Davis, choose a college. 2 particular colleges will do anything to recruit Davis, even murder! All is not as it seems and Frank and Joe are faced with a most difficult case. Great for basketball fans, detective fans and everyone who ever liked a Hardy Boy's book.

Frank and Joe's friend Davis Johns is one of the hottest high school basketball prospects in the state, and two colleges are going all-out to sign him. But the competition between the two programs gets downright ugly. And now the game has taken an even more sinister turn: The head coach at Bayport U has suddenly dropped dead!

But the killer is running to show, he's still got a few shots left, and he's aiming them right at Frank and Joe. The boys know that the clock is ticking and that losing this game could be murder!
