Running Books

After having my fair share of running injuries, it was great to read this book. It explains what the causes and solutions of running injuries are, simply put. There are places in which it gets a bit technical, but only because it is necessary.

It also contains most of the major injuries and stories of common runners and their injuries.

Highly recommended.

I had a chance to meet the doctor who wrote this book (by coincidence!) and he was absolutely amazing with his diagnoses.

This volume compiles all 3 of Miranda Reigns' other erotic novels: Cyberwebs, Sweet Revenge: Cyberwebs II, and Obsessions: Cyberwebs III. Fantastic book if you like variety. Main character Miranda is a compelling lead. You have a lot of time to get into her head in this trilogy. A genuinely decent story/plot is accompanied by truly hot, explicit writing. Highly recommended. Hours of *fun* reading. Worth much more than $14.95. Wish this author would keep writing! The first two books were published in 1999, and the third in 2001. Where did Miranda go?

"D-Day as They Saw It" is an excellent blend of American, British, German and other European sources taken directly from letters, diaries, newspapers and various other correspondences. While some of the book focuses on the views of the big shots such as Eisenhower, Rommel, and Montgomery much of the book is dedicated to sources from front line, common soldiers. Descriptions of the Normandy invasion are fantastic and thrilling and give an insight into the battle that only those who were there could describe. As a 'history from below' "D-Day As They Saw It" is an excellent compilation of primary sources from the events of June 6, 1944.

Sylvan Learning Centers evaluated their reading at 1-4 years above grade level! Reading makes such a difference in future life! This particular set was one of my favorites too! We still play it on those "Dark and Stormy Nights".
Wonderful multi tape audiobook version of the Heath Middle Level Literature Series "A Dark and Stormy Night" volume. Nominally set at grade 8, but suitable for grades 7-9. Includes The Wonderful audiobook version of the Tell Tale Heart; The Monkey's Paw; The Most Dangerous Game; The Dinner Party; The Running Brook of Horror; The Highwayman; and Duffy's Jacket.

The poetry set to music on this cd includes classics such as Hope is the Thing With Feathers and The Frost is on the Punkin. Poets include Dickinson, Longfellow, Poe and others. The music is completely appropriate to each poem. It is therefore, musically diverse. My children ages ten and six have, over the past two years memorized poetry that they would have never listened without this terrific cd. Ted Jacob's other work, The Poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson is equally wonderful. If you would like to memorize some poetry that is worth knowing, this is a fantastic and enjoyable way to do so. I really hope we will be hearing some more from Ted Jacobs.

Darcy Niland is largely unknown outside Australia (and largely unknown inside it). Dead Men Running is a rare novel by a genius at the top of his form. I first read it as a teenager and it haunted my imagination for many years - it's about the nature of truth, telling the truth, and the inevitable cost of that telling - all set against the backdrop of Irish-Australia and the coming of age of a young boy immigrant, after 1916. The impact of the 1916 Irish revolt reverberated across the British Empire - for many people, after 2 years of bloody fighting during the Great War, it was an act of treachery by the Irish utterly unforgivable by Australians. Many Australian Irish families changed the spelling and pronunciation of their names to escape the stigma. This novel is fascinating and compelling - maybe especially so, as I am a Queenslander (our State had far less Irish immigration than southern states) it was an insight into a different cultural milieu as well as a different time. The novel works so well as a coming of age story and of innocence lost. Maybe all of us are just dead men running, waiting for the inevitable.............

Inspector Morse is just one of those detectives that are as highly rated as Hercule Poirot. Morse loves classical music and books and he times himself when when he does the London TImes Crossword. Sergent Lewis is just like Cpt. Hastings in the Hercule Poirot series. I suggest any Inspector Morse books and any Hercule Poirot ones as well.

I purchased this to use with the forensic theme I use with gifted students I work with. It contains some excellent tools. The children especially enjoyed using the wide selection of facial attributes to put together composites of our "suspects" as well as various members of our school. Fingerprinting and chromatography were also informative and enjoyable activities. This is an excellent kit for schools, clubs, as well as for individual children at home. I admit I was skeptical about purchasing this one online but I am very happy that I did so.

I am a young coach, who doesn't have much experience with the offensive line. I bought this book hoping to gain some insight into pass pro. This book did just that and much more.

I started this book on an airplane and couldn't put it down. In this book, Joe Henderson has written and collected stories of George Sheehan's life and passion... running. I was struck by how much I could relate, as a recreational runner, to the experiences, thoughts, and struggles of another runner. Joe Henderson takes you from laughing at your own competitiveness to quietly weeping at the shared joy of being able to compete at all. His deep friendship with Dr. Sheehan (a running icon) is woven through every chapter. As you read, you are reminded that relationships are the true reward of life. You vow to appreciate the people in your life who help you dream, and who willingly prop you up to face each day as it comes. I highly recommend this book.
