No Holds Barred: The Complete History of Mixed Martial Arts in America Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've been looking for a book like this for a while. I've read many UFC or MMA fighters autobiographies such as Forrest Griffin, BJ Penn, Randy Couture, and Chuck Liddell to name a few. Autobiographies are great to read if your in the mood, but reading how a sport like this began at its early hisotry...

Champions: The Lives, Times, and Past Performances of the 20th Century's Greatest Thoroughbreds Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a big coffee-table book for the parimutuel bettor in your life, in my case, me. There is a chapter for each decade of the 1900s, recounting a few horses' careers and several memorable races, accompanied by pictures of horses in action and at rest. Most of the photos are in black-and-white, and...

Coach's Challenge: Faith, Football, and Filling the Father Gap Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Mike Gottfriend speaks from his heart in this inspiring book.

Anyone who wants to learn more on fatherless boys and the struggles they have must read this...

Your Active Child: How to Boost Physical, Emotional, and Cognitive Development through Age-Apropriate Activity Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have half a mind to buy 10 copies for friends and family. The author has depicted beautifully, not only how important it is to keep our kids active but, to make sure they don't get too much exercise as well. It never occurred to me that too much activity can actually cause harm.I have two small boys...

The Truth About Love: The Highs, the Lows, and How You Can Make It Last Forever Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Don't be misled by the somewhat cheesy title or the fact that the author's name is Dr. Patricia LOVE-this is an excellent book that provides a much needed reality check to both married and unmarried couples alike. Whether you're having relationship problems or experiencing smooth sailing with your partner,...

The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy, Confident Kids Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have a ten month old daughter. I want nothing more for this beautiful little girl, than to be happy and confident. Kids are cruel, school can be brutal, and I'm hoping to get her off on the right foot with some self esteem. This book didn't really provide great advice on how to help her achieve that.This...

The Corporal Was a Pitcher: The Courage of Lou Brissie Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Excellent read for any age, I cannot recommend this book strongly enough. Great message on the power of mental toughness, overcoming adversity, setting goals for yourself, and giving back to others. All of today's stories about our athletic "heroes" overcoming long odds to play their chosen sport cannot...

Larceny of Love Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Having grown tired of books that feature afflicted women, I was delighted to find Larceny of Love and its many resourceful female characters. Several of the men face life-changing traumas. And how it all gets blended is a fun ride toward a conclusion I never expected. I'm confident you'll agree that...

Complete Idiot's Guide to Horseback Riding Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I really liked this book. The lessons are easy to read and cover subjects like "Finding a Stable," "Buying a Horse," and "Taking Care of a Horse."

Going the Distance: The George Thomas Story Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I recently finished reading "The George Thomas Story: Going the Distance" by G. Thomas and J. Welsch.

Michael Jordan Speaks: Lessons from the World's Greatest Champion Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Being a fan of the game but a Knicks fan, I can say this was a decent read about Jordans career. I always had great respect for the man and think he is the best basketball player of all time. This book will let you see in writing what he did over the years. Well put together by the author and worthwhile...

The Manual: A True Bad Boy Explains How Men Think, Date, and Mate--and What Women Can Do to Come Out on Top Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I read Steve Santagati's Manual driven by the same curiosity that compels men to page through copies of Cosmo at a girlfriend's house. We don't subscribe to those magazines, so somehow they immediately create intrigue. So in part it was voyeurism, and in part I wanted to explore what lessons were being...

Frommer's Costa Rica 2011 (Frommer's Color Complete) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought the Frommer's guide based on my previously being happy with them when I travelled. I loved that this guide comes in full color and includes a lot of pictures. I realize that there is a lot of information about CR to include in this type of guide book, but I felt that it should have been more...
