50 Greatest Golf Lessons of the Century

The basis for the upcoming HBO miniseries and the "definitive account of the Jonestown massacre" (Rolling Stone) -- now available for the first time in paperback. Tim Reiterman’s Raven provides the seminal history of the Rev. Jim Jones, the Peoples Temple, and the murderous ordeal at Jonestown in 1978. This PEN Award–winning work explores the ideals-gone-wrong, the intrigue, and the grim realities behind the Peoples Temple and its implosion in the jungle of South America. Reiterman’s reportage clarifies enduring misperceptions of the character and motives of Jim Jones, the reasons why people followed him, and the important truth that many of those who perished at Jonestown were victims of mass murder rather than suicide.This widely sought work is restored to print after many years with a new preface by the author, as well as the more than sixty-five rare photographs from the original volume.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS......JOHN JACOBS was a top tournament professional who later almost single-handedly created the present European golf tour. He is also a renowned telecaster on the game, but his greatest claim to fame is as a teacher. "Doctor Golf," as Jacobs is known around the world, is the number-one golf instructor in Europe, and is becoming ever more highly regarded in the U.S.A. where he operates a growing number of golf schools each year. Practical Golf-the all-time best selling golf instruction in Great Britian--is the distillation of this master teacher's knowledge, drawn from his work with all grades of golfer from Jack Nicklaus down to the raw beginner. KEN BOWDEN was the foundling editor of Golf World (U.K.) and editorial director of Golf Digest. A low-handicap player, since 1972 he has managed the communications activities of Jack Nicklaus, with whom he has written seven books. ANTHONY RAVIELLI is one of the finest artists ever to illustrate golf. A frequent contributor to Golf Digest, he has illustrated books by, among others, Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan and Bryon Nelson. His ability to depict the key elements of golf technique in a way that no photographer can do adds mightily to the instructional value of this exceptional book.

Written for all audiences, John Jacobs shares his extensive background in science and theology in an honest and unbiased manner. It illuminates the dogmatic teaching that is probably going on in your church and definitively answers many controversial questions regarding creation and science. In it you will learn never-seen-before information as to why and how the data from NASA's WMAP probe agrees with the biblical text as to the age of the universe to an accuracy of less than one percent. This book is different because the author carries radiation burn scars on his hands and arms from a 35-year career in the field of electromagnetic radiation and has theology degrees from the Institute of Jewish-Christian Studies and Liberty Home Bible Institute.
