Dave Pelz's Putting Bible is the second book in a four-book series, the Dave Pelz Scoring Game Series. <br>Over 150,000 readers have purchased Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible after just its first year of release publication, making the book an instant classic. Now, let Dave help you shape up your game on the greens with his new Putting Bible, which is sure to make all other putting manuals obsolete. <br>Dave Pelz looks at putting, golf's least-understood skill, as no one has ever approached it before. Because a putt is the terminal shot on every hole and there is no possibility of recovery from short misses, putts count almost a disproportionate amount. Every golfer knows a 2-foot putt counts the same as a 300-yard drive--one stroke. And while the putting stroke is only one of several types of swings golfers make, it accounts for nearly half of all the swings made--43 percent--and perhaps as much as 80 percent of all the anguish and frustration involved in the ga...

In the Cold War, "development" was a catchphrase that came to signify progress, modernity, and economic growth. Development aid was closely aligned with the security concerns of the great powers, for whom infrastructure and development projects were ideological tools for conquering hearts and minds around the globe, from Europe and Africa to Asia and Latin America. In this sweeping and incisive book, Sara Lorenzini provides a global history of development, drawing on a wealth of archival evidence to offer a panoramic and multifaceted portrait of a Cold War phenomenon that transformed the modern world. Taking readers from the aftermath of the Second World War to the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, Lorenzini shows how development projects altered local realities, transnational interactions, and even ideas about development itself. She shines new light on the international organizations behind these projects-examining their strategies and priorities and assessing the actual res...

This bilingual (English-Spanish) catalogue raisonné of Rufino Tumayo's prints will reproduce in color every print--including xylographies, lithographies, silkscreens, artist's books and the late mixographies--ever made by the great Mexican artist. Tamayo made approximately 320 prints between 1925 and 1991. Many of them were made using different inks, and these ink colors are respected in the catalogue's printing; in several cases, the printing processes themselves will also be reproduced. Comprehensive and expert commentary is made on each print regarding print-run, workshop and publisher. This project has taken the Tamayo Museum and Foundation in Mexico City almost ten years of research to complete. Product details Format Hardback | 366 pages ...

Why do some leaders and segments of the public display remarkable persistence in confrontations in international politics, while others cut and run? The answer given by policymakers, pundits, and political scientists usually relates to issues of resolve. Yet, though we rely on resolve to explain almost every phenomenon in international politics--from prevailing at the bargaining table to winning on the battlefield--we don't understand what it is, how it works, or where it comes from. Resolve in International Politics draws on a growing body of research in psychology and behavioral economics to explore the foundations of this important idea. Joshua Kertzer argues that political will is more than just a metaphor or figure of speech: the same traits social scientists and decision-making scholars use to comprehend willpower in our daily lives also shape how we respond to the costs of war and conflict. Combining laboratory and survey experiments with studies of great power military int...

Josef Wiesehöfer bietet eine farbige, klare und informative Schilderung der Geschichte, Gesellschaft und Kultur des antiken Persiens. Ein besonderer Reiz dieser leicht lesbaren Darstellung liegt darin, daß sie auf umfangreichen Studien der persischen Quellen fußt. Es ist aber noch gar nicht lange her, da wurde die Geschichte des antiken Persiens aus einer rein europäischen Perspektive erzählt. Die Gründe dafür lagen vor allem in der nur wenig verbreiteten Kenntnis des Alt- und Mittelpersischen, die für die Lektüre der Überlieferung in der Landessprache erforderlich gewesen wäre. Aber warum sollte man diese Sprachen auch lernen - wußte man sich doch als Europäer auf der "Siegerseite" in jener großen Konfrontation im ersten Viertel des 5. Jahrhunderts v. Chr., als die Griechen die persischen Invasionsversuche abgewehrt hatten? Geschichtsschreibung war und ist eben bis heute nur allzu häufig die Geschichtsschreibung der Sieger ... Diese Einstellung führte zu einer bedauerlichen ...
