Have you ever wondered why everything in the Universe fits together the way it does? Or why we're the fortunate inheritors of a very rare planetary oasis that has the amazing ability to create, evolve and support lifeforms such as ours? Given that human life only started 200,000 years ago, how have we been able to make such giant strides in our knowledge of actions throughout the Universe from the largest to the smallest scale? Knowledge that has enabled us to put people on the Moon, look inside atoms and given us all the technological goodies that we take for granted. 18 Holes is the amazing story of how we built that knowledge over the last 2,600 years starting with Thales in the Greek City-State of Miletus right up to our current understanding by way of Galileo, Newton, Einstein and many other deep thinkers. Unlike most popular science books. the story's told in a chatty, humorous way during a round of golf by two senior citizens who've been best pals since their first day at primary school. If you're looking for a simple, non-technical insight of how far physics has taken us and why 90% of the physicists who have ever lived are alive today then this is the book for you.

Until now. Featuring the most elite team of teachers in America, including a superstar set that's guiding the longest and most accurate drivers on all professional tours, GOLF Magazine's The Best Driving Instruction Book Ever! Provides everything recreational players need to add big-time yards to their tee shots with swing moves and positions anyone can master, plus a few new ticks that add eye-popping speed almost overnight. In it readers will learn how to tweak their gear to get the most yards out of their motions, mechanics for building power without swinging harder, and the end-all, be-all method for matching their driver swing to what their body can muster so they can finally realize their true distance potential and split the fairway every time.

The golfer lines up the shot. It's a long one, and the chances of acing it are nil. He says a prayer, swings, and - hallelujah! - he scores a hole in one. Many golfers confess to murmuring earnest prayers that they, too, may join the 42,000 people a year who catch lightning in a bottle and score a hole in one. It's an excitement that many lucky golfers say they remember with more clarity than their first kiss. That's because nothing in the grand old game is as mysterious yet mundane as the ace. Scott Hoch has had 26; fellow pro Fred Couples just two. Blind men and women have hit them, as have first-time golfers, three-year-old toddlers, and hundred-year-old widows. Richard Nixon is the only president to have scored one and he said it was a greater thrill than winning an election. Filled with fun facts and anecdotes, Hole in One! is a comprehensive clearinghouse of unusual stories involving the aura and accomplishment of scoring an ace. Readers will find out how duffers call upon unusual good luck charms and customs from foreign countries to ensure their swinging success. Hole in One! is the perfect book for all golfers who love the game, whether they're accomplished players or rank amateurs.

Tom Chiarella gets to play courses that most duffers can only dream of -- leaving divots, lost balls, and the occasional picture-perfect pin shot in his wake. Chiarella is the serious amateur, the humbled hacker, and the appreciative fan all rolled into one. Golfers everywhere will identify with his tales of low-grade frustration centered on a dimpled ball and a fairway filled with traps. But these affectionate, tee-in-cheek reminiscences and respectful rants are balanced by memories of those sublime moments when the shot rises like a rocket, straight and true, carrying over a long stretch of treacherous real estate to settle at last onto the cool comfort of the green. Thursday's Game showcases the freshest voice in golf writing today, perfect for the double-bogey man lurking in the house, that special someone who's only a new set of clubs away from breaking par.
