Golf for Women magazine calls Alice Dye "the woman who changed the way we play the game." Hall of Fame golfer Nancy Lopez says, "Alice is one of the greatest amateur golfers ever." Husband and revered golf course architect Pete Dye adds, "She has a great understanding of the game of golf and a keen eye for course design."
Twice United States Senior Women's Amateur Champion and member of the victorious 1970 United States Curtis Cup team, Alice has influenced the game of golf for more than fifty years through her work as a member of the USGA committees, the first woman board member of the PGA of America, and the first woman president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects.
In From Birdies to Bunkers, Alice Dye shares her personal, passionate, and funny experiences of a life on and off the course -- playing with the great Babe Didrikson Zaharias, dining with Tiger Woods, her pioneering efforts on behalf of women golfers, and working with Pete to design many of the world's greatest golf courses. In addition, the magical names of Nancy Lopez, Arnold Palmer, Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, Byron Nelson, President George H. Bush, and others are woven throughout, providing a book that will improve your knowledge of golf and perhaps your own game.

Thomas Merton is the most influential American Catholic author of the twentieth century, called the "most important spiritual writer of the twentieth century." To his legion of followers, he appeared to be a peaceful, contented monk advocating the contemplative life, but in 1966 he was a troubled, lonely monk―sad, demoralized, guilt-stricken, and depressed over past sins. Despite being promoted by the Catholic Church as its great teacher and philosopher, Merton struggled with his irreverent behavior toward women and never having learned how to love, and be loved. 
Only when the suffering Merton fell madly in love with a student nurse, a forbidden, erotic affair condemned by the Catholic Church, would he discover whether his devotion to God was stronger than his dedication to the woman he called "a miracle in my life." Truly an inspirational story based on Merton's personal journals, new information and sources such as fellow monks, Beneath the Mask of Holiness presents a unique portrayal of the famous man, one never revealed in its entirety before.

"[A] cogent and well-informed discussion of the South African Police Service and the organisational problems it faces." ―Stephen Ellis
Since the mid-1990s, South Africa has experienced a crime wave of such unprecedented proportions that the ability of the new democracy to form a stable civil society and govern effectively has been called into question. In this timely book, Mark Shaw describes how a police force that was so effective under apartheid became so ineffectual in the face of rising crime. He shows how an increase in violent crime shapes society, police, and government, and discusses possible solutions for the current crisis. International crimes such as war, terrorism, and organized crime are explored along with crimes that affect individual security, such as armed robbery, murder, and rape. Crime and Policing in Post-Apartheid South Africa draws attention to both the national and the international dimensions of crime in this society in transition.

We are living in the golden age of golf, and some of golf's finest players are celebrating their golden years. Legends such as Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, Raymond Floyd, and Gary Player still make headlines, competing for $40 million on the Senior PGA Tour with fellow "over-fifty" newcomers Hale Irwin, Dr. Gil Morgan, David Graham, and Johnny Miller. In Diamonds in the Rough, journalist Mark Shaw spent a year on tour with these grand masters of the game, privy to their private thoughts and inspiring sense of play. The result: Shaw captures their dry wit, uncommon wisdom, and unforgettable personal stories of triumph and tragedy, bringing the 1997 Senior PGA Tour, now in its twentieth year, to dazzling life as never before. It was a magical season featuring remarkable moments, including a miracle win by Vietnam veteran Buddy Allin, the spine-tingling ninth-hole playoff victory for the affable Irishman Bob Murphy, Japanese Isao Aoki's mystical round of 60, and colorful Chi Chi Rodriguez's quest for victory aided by lamb hormone shots, snake rings, and supercharged golf balls. It was also the year Arnold Palmer, Jim Colbert, and Larry Gilbert announced they were battling cancer, recovering alcoholic Dana Quigley won his first tournament victory on the same day his father died, Gary Player achieved an inspiring win at the Senior British Open, and Dr. Gil Morgan and Hale Irwin went down to the wire for the much coveted Player of the Year honors. It's all here--in vivid detail--the victories and bittersweet defeats. Filled with incredible play, fascinating stories, and hilarious anecdotes, Diamonds in the Rough is a true golf treasure.

What can ease the emptiness, boredom, alienation, and hopelessness that's all too prevalent in today's culture? Interest in New Age philosophy and Eastern religions has boomed in the last few decades, yet "the growl of spiritual hunger pains" is louder than ever. Shaw brilliantly contrasts mystic and moral models of spirituality, represented by popular figures Deepak Chopra and Stephen Covey, with "the Jesus model," the only truly satisfying spirituality. 
But Walking on the Waves isn't just "another book about Jesus," it is another kind of book about Jesus. Theology and the doctrine of Christ uniquely blend with captivating narratives, guiding readers to a deeper encounter with the living Christ. Each chapter begins with a familiar Bible story intertwined with modern situations and characters. 
The Philosopher, the African Woman, the Girl, and the Theologian appear throughout the book, representing the various spiritualities and skeptics of today. Shaw's style both entertains and unveils postmodern inaccuracies, some that have been unwittingly accepted by Christians as well.
