Golf rules and etiquette are two of the most intimidating aspects of the game for newcomers to the sport. They're also two of the most important things beginning players need to learn. The rules are numerous and sometimes quite complex, and the official USGA rule book offers little help with its legalese and one-size-fits-all approach. As for etiquette, golf is unique in the extent to which all players, regardless of experience, are expected to demonstrate an understanding of etiquette as soon as they start to play. The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Golf Rules and Etiquetteoffers relief from the intimidation new golfers might otherwise feel. From dressing properly and loading up the golf bag through putting the final ball on the 18th green, author Jim Corbett (nationally recognized as "Mr. Golf Etiquette") covers all the do's and don'ts, and even lets readers know which rules are safe to bend when playing with friends.

Greatly revised and expanded, with a new afterword, this update to Martin Jacques’s global bestseller is an essential guide to understanding a world increasingly shaped by Chinese power Soon, China will rule the world. But in doing so, it will not become more Western. Since the first publication of When China Rules the World, the landscape of world power has shifted dramatically. In the three years since the first edition was published, When China Rules the World has proved to be a remarkably prescient book, transforming the nature of the debate on China. Now, in this greatly expanded and fully updated edition, boasting nearly 300 pages of new material, and backed up by the latest statistical data, Martin Jacques renews his assault on conventional thinking about China’s ascendancy, showing how its impact will be as much political and cultural as economic, changing the world as we know it. First published in 2009 to widespread critical acclaim - and controversy - When China Rules the World: The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order has sold a quarter of a million copies, been translated into eleven languages, nominated for two major literary awards, and is the subject of an immensely popular TED talk.
