    Book Description

    What would legendary Boston Celtics coach and 16-time NBA champion Red Auerbach say is the most critical quality for a person to be successful? Would his advice differ from 10-time NCAA championship coach John Wooden's? What would each say to a young person just starting out in pursuit of their dreams? What is the best advice they were ever given?

    It took author Christian Klemash more than two years of research, persistence, and original interviews, but now he's ready to pass on the best advice you'll ever get. Only the rare individual has had the opportunity to pick the brain of just one legendary sports coach—let alone thirty-four of the best sports coaches of all time. Klemash gives sports fans a once-in-a-lifetime chance to learn valuable life lessons from the most famous, intelligent, and victorious coaches ever.

        Book Description

        In New Hampshire: From Farm to Kitchen, Helen Brody pulls together a comprehensive look at New Hampshire's rich store of gastronomic treasures by profiling some of the Granite State's most important working farms. They include multigenerational farms and their methods for preserving land and heritage; farms using progressive pest and soil management techniques, whether it be Integrated Pest Management or organic farming; Community Supported Agriculture farms, where community members pre-buy a crop to guarantee income for the small farmer; and farms where those searching for a more fulfilling life have found a second career. Quick and easy recipes, using each farm's raw ingredients, make the direct, and often overlooked, connection between the farmer who grows the food and the cook who prepares it. The author also offers menus for traditional events of the state and a resource section that will allow readers and cooks to locate the farms and their products.

          Book Description

          Over the last decade many efforts have been made to develop high angular resolution techniques in astrophysics. Combined with imaging facilities, they have rapidly proved their efficiency and have already led to major astrophysical results.
          During the decade to come, astronomers will be offered new, even more sophisticated high angular resolution tools, especially in the IR and optical domains, coupled with much bigger telescopes, either on the ground or in space.
          In such a context of rapidly evolving techniques and a growing need for higher angular resolution to test theories or discover new objects, the present book reviews both instrumental and scientific aspects. The main questions addressed are: what kind of science will benefit from high angular resolution techniques? How can they best be used?
          Audience: The book is accessible to students and research workers in both instrumental and astrophysical aspects.

            This volume contains the edited lecture notes of the Second JETSET School on Jets from Young Stars: Clues from High Angular Resolution Observations held by the "Marie Curie Research and Training Network JET Simulations, Experiments and Theory". After the opening two chapters on jet emission, readers can learn the fundamental background of modern high-spatial-resolution techniques, and how such methods have impacted on our understanding of young stars. The lectures provide hands-on insight into Observing from space, e.g. from HST and in the future JWST, and from the ground with adaptive optics, The use of interferometers at millimetre and infrared wavelengths, Spectro-astrometry, Image analysis and spectral diagnostic techniques, High-Angular Resolution studies of the inner regions of circumstellar disks which play a fundamental role in jet launching.

            The books' practical approach makes it an outstanding and extremely useful textbook for PhD students and young researchers in astronomy.

              In the rapidly developing field of high resolution astronomical imaging, there are strong parallels between the interferometric methods used at radio frequencies and in the optical/infrared, despite the differences in hardware. IAU Symposium 158 brought together workers from all wavebands, to discuss the science and art of `Very High Angular Resolution Imaging'. As well as the latest techniques, a number of astronomical results from high resolution imaging were also presented. The proceedings of this Symposium will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in the field of high resolution astronomy.

                          Product Description

                          This captivating full-color volume traces the life of one of American history's most controversial figures, from his childhood home in Ohio, to the Civil War battlefields where he led Union forces, to the western prairies of his Indian Campaigns, to the infamous Montana ridge where he died. Readers will find here a concise yet multifaceted protrait of George Armstrong Custer: lackluster student, dedicated soldier, affectionate husband, and fiery but doomed leader. In pointing their camera at the places he stood or looked upon, the Moellers open a unique doorway into Custer's world. Once inside, we see him less as either hero or villian, and more as simply a man.

                          3 out of 5 stars OK if you buy it used.......2006-04-14

                          Actually, I found this volume a little disappointing. Don't get me wrong, the photography is absolutely gorgeous, but most of the photos do nothing to really make you feel connected to or walking in the shoes of Custer. The first Moeller photo book I read was the Oregon Trail one. Now that was great and made you feel like you walked the sites with the immigrants. But this Custer volume was just kind of disconnected. Lots of scenery photos of places where he had been, but so little to connect the scenery to the human cast that rode across the stage.

                          So I recommend this book IF you can get it used and fairly cheap (like under $5). Good for Custer buffs, Civil War fans, and Old West afficionadoes, but don't pay full price. Its just not worth it. Again, the photography is certainly "eye candy", but doesn't really help bring Custer to life. The text was nicely done to provide a mini-bio of Custer. I've only read about him from the Little Bighorn material, so the text of this book helped flesh out the man a little better.

                          5 out of 5 stars A New Way of Visualizing the Custer Saga!.......2004-08-06

                          Bill and Jan Moeller have taken a new approach in telling the stirring story of George Armstrong Custer, the places where he lived, fought and died. The approach is a photographic one, not of the dashing Cavalry hero but of geographic places where he walked, rode, fought, lived - and died. Places like the farm house of his boyhood home in Ohio, the towers at West Point,and the serene green landscape alongside the Hudson, of the cannons at Manassas, his first Civil War battle, of the blue skies and open field at Brandy Station, the site of the biggest Cavalry fight on North American soil, and of another open field, that one alongside Rummel's farm at place called Gettysburg.

                          The Moellers continue this photographic journey, through the beautiful flowers and plant overgrowth of that terrible place called the Wilderness, to the bushy ground of Yellow Tavern, where Jeb Stuart was mortally wounded by a soldier under Custer's command, into the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, and on to a place called Appomattox, where their frames captured the beautiful and tranquil southern home where Lee surrendered to Grant.

                          Then out west, to the desolate brown flatlands of the Oklahoma territory, to the plains where the buffalo roamed (and still do), and on to those desolate Black Hills, and a date with destiny at a greasy grass filled hillside not far from a stream called the Little Big Horn. Throughout this journey, the Moellers provide the reader with strikingly beautiful all-color photographs that capture the natural beauty and the drama of the places associated with Custer. There is also a fine text equal to a mini-biography of Custer. And not one image of him, save for the striking statue on the cover. And not one contemporary photograph or illustration either.

                          I believe that the Custer book was the first photo-history that the Moellers chose to do. Since then they have covered the Oregon Trail, Lewis and Clark, Chief Joseph, and Crazy Horse, among other topics. But their Custer book represents their best work, and while the original hardcover is out-of-print and a rarity at used book stores, they have reprinted this slim volume in a paperback edition found here. If you are a Custer enthusiast, or just interested in Western history captured in remarkable photographs, this is a worthy and very unique book to include in your collection.
