| Description: |
A celebration of the sport of golf integrates hundreds of period and contemporary photographs - of great players, courses, golfing equipment, and collectibles - with observations on the game. |
| Synopsis: |
In between the first tee off and the 18th hole there are many reasons to love (and in times of frustration love to hate) the time honored game of golf. This book is full of 1,001 of those reasons that help explain every player's love of the game. The book is a compilation of text and images (both nostalgic and modern) and is filled with information about the game, quotes from some of the greatest golf literature, stories about famous golfers, male and female, and others who influenced the game, photographs of great courses, equipment, collectibles, players, as well as old advertising and archival images. The reasons for loving golf run the gamut from philosophical observations about golf and life (golf shows us the part that chance plays in our lives; golf is a game of honor; golf teaches us to be aware of our limits while aspiring to transcend them) to specific events and experiences (making your first eagle; a great Big Bertha driver for Father's Day; a corner room at Russack's Hotel in St. Andrews with a view of the Old Course). |

Franklin
In 1845 Captain Sir John Franklin led a large, well equipped expedition to complete the conquest of the Canadian Arctic, to find the fabled North West Passage connecting the North Atlantic to the North Pacific. Yet Franklin, his ships and men were fated never to return. Why did this outstanding scientific navigator find his ships trapped in pack ice seventy miles from magnetic north? In this riveting story of the Arctic, Andrew Lambert discovers a new Franklin: a character far more complex, and more truly heroic, than previous histories have allowed.
