Tennis Without Lessons

PRENTICE/HALL

Whitey Dobbs, a local roughneck, laughs while being buried alive on Hawkins Hill. He thinks this is just an initiation, a high-school hazing, the four teenage boys who are busy digging aim to exact revenge for a brutal rape. They soon realise that their hoax has tragic consequences that will haunt them for the rest of their lives . . . Twenty-two years later, the nearby small town of Black Valley is mysteriously plagued by a series of disturbing and unbelievable events: a red-hot brick crashing through a window of the local college, flaming trucks crossing the sky, showers of broken glass shredding a lone jogger. But most bizarre of all is the erratic appearance of a teenager with bone-white hair, who turns out to be the same boy buried alive two decades earlier. And he doesn't look a day older.

Multihull Pioneer Jim Brown Makes the Case for Cruising Trimarans With Personal Stories, Compelling Facts & Wide-Ranging Insight  This classic book about cruising trimarans is now back in print!  Well-known trimaran designer Jim Brown offers his unique experiences and insight into the design factors that make for safe, seaworthy, comfortable trimarans.   Jim is always entertaining in his writing, and this book is no exception. He blends personal stories with technical information about these fast vessels, and shows why multihull pioneers in the 20th century were sometimes referred to as the "Hells Angels of the Sea."  Much of the book is dedicated to the subject of "capsizing," and offers timeless wisdom on how it can be prevented. There is even a chapter about "self-rescue," and a technique for how a capsized vessel can be righted.  This book is fully illustrated with original black and white photos and humorous illustrations by Jo Hudson. Multihullers in general (and trimaran lovers in particular) will discover Jim Brown's sailing philosophy and walk away with a thorough understanding of the features and benefits offered in well-designed and properly handled cruising trimarans.
