Teams Books

This book is a true treasure-chest of puck history for any fan
of the National Hockey League. "Years of Glory" chronicles the pre-expansion "Original-Six" -team era of the NHL. On the inside front and back covers are shown old-style tin table hockey players in the uniforms of the "Original-Six" team members: the Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs.
Inside you will find colorful stories and photos of a bygone era when players went without helmets and goalies without masks. Many of the all-time greats are featured: Gordie Howe, Rocket Richard, Bobby Hull, Jean Beliveau, Jacques Plante, Glenn Hall, Terry Sawchuk, and Bobby Orr among many. There is even a chapter on minor-pro hockey during the six-team era with players Johnny Bower, Guyle Fielder and Andy Hebenton featured. Many interesting statistics like Stanley Cup playoff scores and league draft results are listed. The catalogue of dozens of great old photos alone makes this volume well worth its price.

Fantastic year-by-year account of the postwar Original Six era. Each season is covered with extra reading on things like the Habs' unforgotten dynasty (i.e. the '60s) or the Wings' 7(?) straight first-place finishes. Photos are superb and the writing is first-rate. I never lived through this era but the book made it come alive for me.

Every young baseball fan (especially a young Red Sox fan) needs to read "Zachary's Ball". You can't help but get the goosebumps while reading this book. It's a great book for a parent to share with their son/daughter at bed time. You both will go to sleep with a smile on your face, and it will quickly become a favorite in your home (as it is mine).

I dare you to read this and not get a tear in your eye. This is a touching inspirational story that has become a favorite for my seven year old son who LOVES baseball. I read this to his first grade class and it was a HOME RUN ( girls, boys baseball fans and non sport fans alike really enjoyed it). You need not be a Red Sox fan to enjoy this but if you are it is a must have for your library..GO RED SOX

The Zen of Groups is a handbook for effective group participation. It achieves this through distinguishing the elements of group dynamics.

The Zen of Groups is written in simple language and makes complex and subtile issues clear and easy to understand. This gives both the beginner and advanced facilitator or group participant alike access to understanding and making a useful difference in the dynamics of any group.

The Zen of Groups also has a section of tools and processes which can be applied to assist groups which are stuck or not acheveing their purpose to move forward.

I highly recomend this book to anyone wanting to develop a greater understanding of the the dynamics of groups. I use it all the time as a resource in my practice as a professional facilitator.

This group puts together a wonderful message of how to manage group meetings with heart. They give clear examples of activities that can be used to defuse conflict, enhance team effectiveness, and methods to monitor yourself and your team for leaving your baggage behind and achieving group synergy. If yours is a consensus-oriented organization, or you'd like to begin using consensus-based decision making, this is a great book. See also their book specifically for meeting facilitation, "The Art of Facilitation".

I dont know who will ever read this review but I found this issue in my house and I read it. I thought it was pretty good.

Very entertaining book! Bought it for my father, a lifelong Mets fan. He enjoyed reading it and reminising about the clubs history.

I am a Cardinal Fan, however, my best friend is a Cub Fan. We enjoy seeing Cub/Cardinal games live. He absolutely loved it.

THIS BOOK IS A GREAT ADDITION FOR ANY FAN. NOT ONLY LA BUT IT'S ALSO GOT ALOT OF OTHER BASEBALL INFO AND TONS OF PICS. EZ TO READ AND FIGURE OUT.

From understanding how blood sugars affect overall health to what constitutes appropriate exercise and how to judge the heatlh effects of fast food, 101 Tips For Simplifying Diabetes provides an easy question-and-answer format to answer some of the more common questions posed by diabetics. The format lends to an easier understanding of the condition than most would allow.

This is an excellent training source in combinatorics for mathematics olympiads and contests.

Problems in this book are divided into 2 sets, with each set containing 51 problems. Problems in the first set are introductory ones (hence, relatively easy), and that in the second set are advanced problems (And harder, much harder indeed in the last few problems). Problems are very well selected and carefully organized according to their difficulty and technic involved. They span from the very easy first some enumerative problems to the really hard IMO-level, even notorious National-MO problems. Moreover, problems are up-to-date hence it avoids well-known cliche problems. The book is published in the end of 2002, and in this book some of the 102 problems are selected from the IMO that year!

As a regular lecturer of Taiwan's IMO team, I highly recommend this problem book.

I deeply consider that this is a very stimulating problem book that contains a variety of problems and their solutions.
This book is of high interest to anyone who wishes to pursue research in elementary trigonometry and its applications. It is also excellent for students who want to enhance their skills in elementary mathematics to support their research in other fields such as geometry, algebra or mathematical analysis. Some of the problems contained in the book are also suitable for undergraduate students.
I STRONGLY recommend this book to all who wish to find an excellent source of interesting and modern problems in trigonometry.
