After the disillusioning 1994 strike, Baltimore Oriole Cal Ripken made baseball seem like the all-American sport again when he played his 2131st consecutive game, breaking Lou Gehrig's record, on September 6, 1995. His surprisingly introspective autobiography reveals him as an old-fashioned guy who believes in the work ethic and doesn't mince words when assessing the state of contemporary baseball, which in his estimate is driven more by financial considerations than dedication to craft. Ripken's love of family comes across as strongly as his love of baseball.
Book Description
There aren't many Americans who didn't feel a lump in their throat watching Cal Ripken, Jr. take a historic jog around the bases on the evening of September 6, 1995--the night he smashed Lou Gehrig's record number of 2,130 consecutively played games. But, as "the hardest working man in baseball" will tell you, he was just doing his job. And now he tells you just how he does it, why he does it, and how it makes him feel. With the candor and grace that have endeared him to fans everywhere, Cal Ripken, Jr. tells the story of his journey to the major leagues: of his early childhood and life with a baseball manager for a father; his stint in the minors, working his way up from the Rookie Leagues to Triple-A; and finally to the permanent call from Baltimore where he began the drive to an All-Star career. Cal talks with warmth of his mentors and teammates, and with honesty of the Orioles' roller-coaster ride from the pennant to a lamentable 0-21 start in the eighties. He reveals his innermost thoughts on the game, and leads us through his strategies at the plate and on the field. Best of all, Cal reveals what makes him tick: his commitment to the game, to his family, to his career, and to the team. In this rich and rewarding memoir, we find out why he's credited with putting the "great" back into America's greatest game: it's the only way he knows.
* The #1 Washington Post bestseller

If you are a fan of Cal Ripken Jr., "The Only Way I Know" is the book for you. In this autobiography Cal shares information with us on how he got to where he is today and what it is like being a profesional baseball player. He overcame a lot during his brilliant career as a Baltimore Oriole. In Ripken's illustrious 20 year career with the Baltimore Orioles he broke several records and appeared in several all-star games. Having is dad pass away and battling to stay healthy, Ripken was a hero off the field as well as on the field. He participated in several diffent charities throughtout his career. That is what makes him not only a great athlete, but a wonderful person. This book is 326 pages and it took me about three weeks to read. I am a big fan of Cal Ripken Jr. so I really enjoyed this book. Everyone who is a sports fan should have a fun time reading this book because there is plenty of information and it makes you want to keep reading because there is so much information that people do not know about Cal Ripken. Ripken is one of the most recognized profesional athletes ever, so you can only imagine how good this book really is.

"The Only Way I Know" is a great autobiography about Cal Ripken Jr. I especially liked this book because it's not boring, and instead is fast-paced throughout the whole book. This book also has great pictures from his whole life. This great autobiography also explains everything from the first time he played catch with his dad to his record setting 2,131st consecutive game and everything in between. This story explains everything down to the tiniest detail. This is a great book for any baseball player or fan. I hope anyone who reads this excellent book likes it just as much as I do.

Book Description
True love is a blissful thing. It gives us goose bumps, turns us upside down, and drives us wild in big ways and little ways, too. In her new book, Crazy About You, author Lorraine Bodger offers 512 of the most deliriously love-struck descriptions of the rapture, the thrill, the total experience of losing your mind over another human being.o When you're around I can't catch my breath, and my pulse does a cha-cha-cha.o I've seen your high school yearbook picture and I still adore you.o Sometimes I just sit beside you late at night and watch you sleep.o My previously intelligent and multifaceted conversation has shrunk to one topic: you.o You've got me so flustered that I'm losing it: first my appointment book, then my glasses, then my keys, then my checkbook.o I don't care a fig if you can't repair the leaky faucet, the sticky shutter, or the wobbly table. You fix me up when I'm falling apart, and that's enough for me.From beginning to end, Crazy About You will delight all lovers with its sassy but sweet survey of this universal condition. It's the perfect gift for Christmas, Valentine's Day, anniversaries, birthdays, or any smitten occasion because Crazy About You expresses the giver's head-over-heels adoration and passion. It's the most clever and endearing way to say, "You're the only one for me."

Book Description
The Flash of Capital analyzes the links between Japan’s capitalist history and its film history, illuminating what these connections reveal about film culture and everyday life in Japan. Looking at a hundred-year history of film and capitalism, Eric Cazdyn theorizes a cultural history that highlights the spaces where film and the nation transcend their customary borders—where culture and capital crisscross—and, in doing so, develops a new way of understanding historical change and transformation in modern Japan and beyond.
Cazdyn focuses on three key moments of historical contradiction: colonialism, post-war reconstruction, and globalization. Considering great classics of Japanese film, documentaries, works of science fiction, animation, and pornography, he brings to light cinematic attempts to come to terms with the tensions inherent in each historical moment—tensions between the colonizer and the colonized, between the individual and the collective, and between the national and the transnational. Paying close attention to political context, Cazdyn shows how formal inventions in the realms of acting, film history and theory, thematics, documentary filmmaking, and adaptation articulate a struggle to solve implacable historical problems. This innovative work of cultural history and criticism offers explanations of historical change that challenge conventional distinctions between the aesthetic and the geopolitical.
Customer Reviews:
read, watch, re-read.......2003-05-24
Cazdyn's book is useful both for giving an overview of what to watch for when approaching one of the selected movies for the first time and he (Cazdyn) also succedes in giving a thought-provoking outer context (ie the transformation of 'capital' in modern japan). it is important to understand that this theory of the films as economic-artefacts (not in a crude cause and effect sense, mind you) is accomplished through the very readings Cazdyn performs on them. The first step is a basic historicism that aims to survey and then go one step past existing Western reactions to key Japanese films. However, we begin to see quite early in our reading (note that i say early in the reading not early in the book, for this is a work that definitely benefits a non-synchonic pursual) that Cazdyn's ability to make these 'new' points as very much indebted to his invocation of a historical-materialist framework. Like Marx's re-read the economy of 18th C England to prove a point, so Cazdyn is rereading the economy of 20th C Japan!
It is therefore very ironic that the non-academic responses to this book so far have focused on how it is full of theory talk. yes, the jargon can seem a little think but Cazdyn is definitely not making po-mo points!

Book Description
Vast collection of great chess games from 1798–1938, with much hard-to-find material. Fully annotated, arranged by opening for easier study. 150 years of master play!
Customer Reviews:
Massive Collection.......2007-05-04
I haven't gone through all 500 games but that is my goal. The thing about game collections is not to see what mistakes a chess computer can find. But, what you can find while going through each game. That is what makes you a better player. Now, there is not a lot of annotations or long variations given in the games, which I like, but other may not like. The games are catagorized by opening which makes it easy for reference. If you want more modern game collections or game collections with high caliber players, which this book does have, then try Garry Kasparov's My Predeccessor's.
One of My All-Time Favorites.......2006-07-08
I believe I have heard more people choose this book as the chess book they would prefer to get stuck with on a desert island than any other. Next to David Bronstein's book on Zurich 1953, I'd pick this one.
About the only "negatives" in this book are the same ones most people under the age of 50 complain about: 1) Descriptive notation. I figure it's worth it to spend 20 minutes learning DN, rather than look for an algebraic version at double the price. 2) Tartakover was unable to access a 21st-Century computer and come up with a ton of analysis, which would, of course, have lengthened the book by about 1,000 pages and tripled the price.
If you can put up with those problems, you should find this book and probably 50 other Dover chess books worth your while.
Five-Hundred classic games with light to moderate analysis.......2006-01-02
This is a massive work containing 500 complete master games played mostly during the 1800s on up to the 1930s.
Strong Points:
1. The games are played by strong players (masters).
2. The most important and most interesting games games prior to about 1940 were selected.
3. The games in the book are arranged by type of openining (if you want to focus on openings in a certain area, this is easy to do).
4. Lot of games for the money - 500!
Weak Points:
1. Not in Algebraic Notation.
2. No games after the 1930s (not up to date openings).
3. There are some errors in the analysis.
4. There is is typically not much depth to the analysis - it is very light at points.
I consider the stronger points to be more important though. This is a book belonging in every serious players chess library. If you are looking for games with more and deeper analysis I would recommend first and formost "Unbeatable Chess Lessons for Juniors" and "More Unbeatable Chess for Juniors" by Snyder, and secondly (only for experienced players) "Understanding Chess" by Nunn.
The Beauty of Caissa.......2005-09-03
Exhaustive and brilliant, "500 Master Games of Chess" is a landmark in Chess literature and is recognized as a classic among fans and practitioners of the game. First published in 1952, this Dover edition is an unaltered and unabridged reissue published in 1975. The book is divided into three sections: Open Games, Semi-Open Games, and Closed Games, the games being classified under the openings they were played in. International Grandmaster Saviely Tartakower and Chess editor and author J. du Mont have compiled some of the best games ever played in the game, the choices covering the 1600's to the 1930's. Here, one can enjoy and learn from the vast breadth of talent presented: Alekhine, Morphy, Capablanca, Lasker, Steinitz, and many others are well represented offering many facets of the sport at it's very best. Masterpieces fill the pages: Anderssen-Kieseritzky (London, 1851), the "Immortal Game"; Paulsen-Morphy (New York, 1857); Rotlewi-Rubinstein (Lodz, 1907); Alekhine-Book (Margate, 1938); and games from the dawn of Chess as we know it: Greco-N. (1622-1634); Bruhl-Philidor (London, 1787); Bowdler-Conway (London, 1788); and representative selections from historic matches ranging from the landmark la Bourdonnais-McDonnell clash to Alekhine-Euwe. The book is lavishly illustrated with diagrams and each important game is given extensive analysis by the editors. There are also games played by the masters at odds, blindfold, and simultaneous which are nicely included as an appendix.
I had the good fortune to come across a copy many years ago when I was first getting seriously into Chess and my wrinkled and browning possession has been with me ever since. Every serious player or lover of the game should have this treasure-trove in his library.
Fantastic Collection of important games.......2005-01-28
500 MASTER GAMES OF CHESS contains a fantastic collection of lightly annotated games. The games are arranged by opening making it easy for you to concentrate on games using openings you are interested in studying.
The games are all older and the book are not in Algebraic Notation. Though, with this in mind this book is a must for any series student wanting access to some of the most theoretically important games over a wide period of chess history.
Book Description
The book provides detailed information on the implementation of a model that can help an organization gain support from physicians for major organizational changes. The book includes tools for the model and a series of sidebars that describe successes with the model.
