| 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). |

Between the Assassinations
Nestling on India's southern coast lies the town of Kittur. Ranging through the city's streets and schoolyards, bedrooms and businesses, its inner workings and its outer limits, through the myriad and distinctive voices of its inhabitants, this book presents an entire world. From the author of 'The White Tiger'.
|
So Much for That
The extraordinary new novel from the Orange Prize winning author of 'We Need to Talk About Kevin'. 'So Much For That' is a deeply affecting novel, told with Lionel Shriver's trademark originality, intelligence and acute perception of the human condition.
|
White Egrets
A collection of poems that treats such subjects as - the Caribbean's complex colonial legacy, the Western artistic tradition, the blessings and withholdings of old Europe (Andalucia, the Mezzogiorno, Amsterdam), the unaccomodating sublime of the new world, time's cunning passages, and the poet's place in all of this.
