Ball Books

I own a pair of these balls in a larger scale, but this kit is perfect for carrying in the purse, the pocket or anywhere you like, thanks to the tiny bag included. They are not heavy at all.
The design of the book and the balls have changed slightly, so maybe the kit you'll buy would be different from the one shown as reference.
When you use the balls, you can actually hear them make a bell-sound like.
Be careful when handling them; if you drop them and they hit the floor, this can cause they lose their round shape or the enamel that covers them.

I bought these meditation balls last year to use for exercising my hands for carpal tunnel syndrome. They have helped greatly and the miniature size is perfect for smaller hands. I am now ordering two more sets for my grandchildren who love to use them when they visit.

A Time For Glory: 1861 by R. B. Greenwalt is an intriguing, albeit fictional, account of the American Civil War and the lives of soldier and civilians caught up in that tumultuous time. Following the life of Joshua Campbell through his experience with the Confederate army through battle, leadership, a soldier life and love, A Time For Glory: 1861 then carries readers over to the life and experiences of Elihu Hawthorne, a Massachusetts Congressman affected by the radical vision of the republican party, and a perpetual fear of capture by the enemy. An original, well crafted, and entertaining novel showcasing quite diverse perspectives of Civil War combatants, A Time For Glory: 1861 is especially commended to readers and would make a popular addition to community library collections.

I am a Ball State graduate and met several professionals of the 1958 class of nursing at ball memorial hospital and they loved seeing this book and if you have any or know of any, list them you will sell them at a reasonable price. bsu class member 1986

The 44th BG is arguably the 8th Air Force's most illustrious B-24 unit. The 'Flying Eightballs' served longer than any Liberator unit in the 8th AF, sustained the highest MIA losses and claimed the most enemy aircraft downed. Awarded two Distinguished Unit Citations, the 44th was the first 8th AF group - B-17 or B-24 - to earn that prestigious award. The history of the group is well told in this Schiffer Publishing book by noted historian Ron MacKay.

The first USAAF unit to receive B-24s, the 44th stayed stateside till September 1942, acting as a Liberator training unit. Logging its first combat mission on 7 November it had dropped 18,980 tons of bombs over European or MTO targets while losing 153 aircraft by war's end. Among the missions flown was the August 1943 low-level mission to Ploesti, Rumania which netted the unit its second DUC and its CO, Leon Johnson, a Medal of Honor. Eleven of 37 aircraft despatched were lost. In all the group flew 344 missions during its wartime service.

Author MacKay, who has written two dozen military aviation-themed books, does his usual excellent job of relating the travails of the 44th. He covers the missions flown by the group but also supplies background information that gives insight into the day-to-day life of an 8th AF bomb group.

The text is illustrated with over 400 black & white photographs of aircrew, aircraft, crash sites, targets bombed and air combat scenes. MacKay includes over 50 pages of appendices including a list of all missions flown, aircraft lost, individual summaries of each B-24 assigned to the group and personnel killed. Given the amount of detail contained in those appendices, it's unfortunate he continues, as with his other books, to provide incomplete names for individuals covered in the text. Considering what the men of the 'Eightballs' did for their country, sometimes at the cost of their lives (800+ 44th BG KIAs), I feel it behooves the author to give fuller details than "Lt. Foy."

All in all, THE 44TH BOMB GROUP IN WORLD WAR II is a well-researched, nicely illustrated, comprehensive tribute to all the men who made up this most distinguished unit. Recommended.

I received this book as a gift from a friend because he knows how much I love to golf. He also knows I collect golf balls. This book has interesting information about the evolution of the golf ball from its earlier forms through the transformation to what it looks like today.

Did you know that there are rare golf balls worth $20,000? More interesting information like that is throughout the book. All your guests will open it up and flip through it!

On the back of this text it states "1,000,000 can't be wrong!" And after using this text for the past month I can see why, among the myriad of Abnormal Psych. texts available, this one is considered heads above all the others.

The authors write in a way that is accessable to undergraduates and/or graduate students (like myself)who are studying this subject matter for the first time. They go in depth on etiology, assessment, treatment, and prognosis on a myriad of DSM-IV-TR disorders.

Don't let the price scare you away. Text books are like anything else; you get what you pay for. Purchases such as this one are an investment in your career. Don't short-change yourself. Buy the best!

Industry standards are set by ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) and a few others. This book provides guidelines for Health/Fitness Assessments at a professional level. A good book to keep on the shelf for reference or to brush up your memories.

I found this book to be an invaluable assest and reference text. As a resident needing a thorough reference at home for this text will be a welcome addition to my library (and the first place I head to late at night). It systematically breaks down each chapter into clear, clinically important areas so you can easily find what you need.

Tintin and Captain Haddock go to a psychic show. There an Indian fakir puts his assistant into a trance. She forsees a mysterious illness striking a photographer on a recent expedition to recover Incan artifacts. One by one the researchers on the expedition fall into mysterious comas. Near each lies a shattered crystal ball...

For some comic relief here Captain Haddock tries hard to be oh so proper (he has recently aquired his ancestral estate and title). He is fixated on wearing a monocle at all times. This is an involved mystery with many clever bits of detective work and technology used by the characters. This particular book is definitely the first of two parts and doesn't stand alone. At the end of this one Tintin and the Captain are off in pursuit of a potential villain. But we still don't know what was in the crystal balls or how it connects to the Incan curse, and a major character has been kidnapped and not reunited with the heros. So you will have to read Prisoners of the Sun to not be left hanging after this one.

If you are reading this to help learn German, Tintin comics are good for reading at a German 2 level. There are a lot of words that aren't basic vocabulary but it is still easy to follow the story because the writing and pictures tend to reinforce each other. However this is a two part mystery and you are going to be reading two books, so if this is overload then try another Tintin comic instead.
