.Don Cherry's Hockey Stories and Stuff
City Travel Guides > Books > Sports
by: Don Cherry

October 28, 2008
In this complex web of narratives, Pulitzer Prize winning author and journalist Ron Suskind navigates the paradoxes of democracy and globalization, multiculturalism and patriotism.

A lot of discussion has taken place since "The Way of the World" was released regarding what the CIA did or didn't do. Agents have since come out to dispute Suskind's inference of "the fake letter from Habbush". In my opinion, what was or wasn't done is not important, it's the overall philosophy that is flawed. It's an indictment of Bush's misplaced faith and his false doctrine of preemption.

This is a highly enjoyable read. Suskind remarks that it was one of the most challenging book projects he's ever worked on. This is much more than a ... Read More:

.Strength Training Anatomy-2nd Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Sports
by: Frederic Delavier

January 09, 2006
I purchased this book to use as a reference for anatomy drawing. I love it because it is the first book that I find that is useful in terms of understanding how each muscle should move. Now, of course, for people who do body building, understanding muscle work and how exercises should be performed is very important and I find that this book provides all as it is full of information presented in stunning visual imagery that is easy to analyze.

.SAS Survival Guide
City Travel Guides > Books > Sports
by: John 'Lofty' Wiseman

2006-04
No need for a long review here. This book was written by a professional soldier who was in the SAS, or the Special Air Service. For those not in the know, that's an elite unit of the British Army trained to carry out operations in ALL parts of the world. Eventually, the author became a survival instructor to the SAS, so you can be sure that this guy knows his stuff.

The book covers all you'd ever want to know about the essentials of surviving in climates such as: the polar region, mountains, seashores, islands, tropical regions, or even at sea. Here's few of the many topics the book covers:

-food, what you can and can't eat
-animal tracking with numerous pics
-color pics of edible plants
-pictures ... Read More:

.Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster
City Travel Guides > Books > Sports
by: Jon Krakauer

October 19, 1999
I discovered this book after I read "Into the Wild", and quickly became a huge fan of Jon Krakauer. I am almost done reading "The Climb" by Anatoli Boukreev, another climber from the 1996 Everest tragedy, and much prefer Jon Krakauers book. Jon is very descriptive in "Into Thin Air", making constant sidenotes to explain mountaineering techniques and other information that readers may not understand. He is very thorough and honest when describing the events before, during, and after the Everest event...making the reader truly be able to picture themselves there. The book has photos as well...so we know what some of the climbers and guides look like...as where crucial events happened on the mountain. "The Climb" by Anatoli Boukreev seems to rush ...

.Playing The Enemy
City Travel Guides > Books > Sports
by: John Carlin

August 19, 2008

Playing the Enemy is a very timely book. In these days when nations are often more divided than before, Nelson Mandela's instinct to show respect, friendliness, and common purpose with those who saw him as an enemy is a beacon that lights up the potential for all people to come together to accomplish more. John Carlin has used the Rugby World Cup imaginatively to illustrate the essence of President Mandela's approach. Mr. Carlin is a wonderful story teller, and you'll feel chills as you read the many great moments he brilliantly captures in Playing the Enemy.

Leaders have always used foreign enemies to bring their purpose together. Who realized that this could be done at the level of sport rather than through war as a way to unify ... Read More:
