Book Description
Guana, in the British Virgin Islands, is home to a remarkably diverse assortment of animal and plant life: mangroves, flamingos, iguanas, frogs, birds, snakes, spiders, tortoises, grasshoppers, and bats, to name but a few. What is so surprising about Guana's astonishing panoply is that, according to prevailing ecological theories, the island's diversity should be much lower than it actually is. This provocative book describes Guana's flora and fauna against the backdrop of islands worldwide and their ecology, evolution, and conservation. Much more than a book about one island, it raises important challenges to prevailing dogma of island biogeography and theoretical ecology. James (Skip) Lazell demonstrates that meaningful conservation and avoiding tragic loss of biodiversity demand we know far more about biological interactions, physiographic and geological structure, meteorology, and other factors. He presents compelling evidence that high levels of natural biodiversity underpin ecosystem resilience and stability. Lazell's engaging narrative, containing many entertaining asides and personal reflections, widens into an evocative commentary about the nature of life on earth.

An enlightening read!.......2007-03-24
This is an awesome book. I am visiting Guana Island and wanted to find some info about the flora and fauna of the Island before my visit. I got way more than I expected! I would have to quibble with the suggestion that this book is written for any lay person who just had a passing interest in the Island. You really do need to have at least an active interest in science and biology to really get into the book, it's not a particularly light read! If you are looking for a guide to take to the island, this is not the book either as the photographs are pretty limited. Having said all that, this is a great book which covers many thought provoking subjects and even if you have no specific interest in Guana Island it is still well worth reading.
Another great book by Lazell!.......2006-09-27
This book is both informative and entertaining. This is a great example of how intensive study of a small geographic area can be incredibly useful in understanding how "islotated" ecosystems function in a larger ecosystem.
Book Description
This book is the only comprehensive training program ever written specifically about speed bag training. The speed bag is an essential piece of equipment for boxing and it is found in many health clubs and fitness facilities. But it is also a very economical and effective exercise activity for the home. Physical benefits include a terrific shoulder and arm work-out, increased eye-hand coordination and improved rhythm and timing of your movements. Of course, there are obvious self defense benefits, such as increased punching speed and strength, as well as hitting a moving target. However, all of these benefits are attributes needed to play any sport, not just boxing! Regardless of your sport, speed bag training can increase your ability. This book uncovers the secrets of how it works. But since the potential benefits of speed bag training far surpass boxing, this book was not written from the standard "boxing" perspective. Therefore, many areas that are not used in traditional boxer workouts are covered. Also ,the author has developed a simple method to write practice exercises for each technique, and many practice combinations are offered.
It was developed to be used "under the board" during practice sessions. Topics include: equipment, swinging movements, bag rhythms, the difference between techniques and combinations, and individually identifies 24 PUNCHING & ELBOW STRIKING TECHNIQUES from the FRONT, SIDES and BACK of the bag. It clearly develops how these techniques can be joined into hundreds of different combinations. It also address how to use the unique rhythmic sounds of the bag to creatively hit with music, where you can improvise rhythmic "drum solo's" to virtually any song. This makes it the most creative and expressive work out you will ever experience. A special chapter is also included for using MARTIAL ART STRIKES and KICKING techniques. There is even a chapter for coaches and teachers, who are more interested in teaching others. The Speed Bag Bible is aimed at all levels of expertise. Don't forget to check out the two hour videotape also available on Amazon.com.

Put A Little Rythm In Your Workout!.......2006-11-18
March 19, 2004
I was trained to hit a Speedbag by my ex- Father-in- Law Raliegh Martin, when I was in my twenties. He also taught me street stuff he had picked up through life. Very different to the Taekwondo and wrestling I had previously studied. He began boxing at twelve years of age and boxed eleven years in the Navy, and he also learned Navy Jujitsu. My Ex-Father-In-Law used to take nitroglicerin pills after we worked out, but when his daughter and her mother would go to town we always forgot about any health problems or pain. He was disappointed when his daughter decided it was too much of a strain on his heart. He told me that his brother George was more skilled than he was, but that they both could hit a speedbag fast years prior. Well, that was years before I knew him. I have seldom seen anything close to what Alan Kahn shows you in his videos. The book breaks down the details of what you see in the videos. Your hands will know what to do when you include the speedbag in your workout, and you will know a real confidence!
Train hard and have fun!

Excellent Training Course!.......2006-06-18
I bought the book and the DVD and I am thoroughly impressed with the level of detail Alan goes to in both. Anyone who has seen a demo of Alan hitting the speed bag knows he is exceptional at this skill, but what became clear to me after reading the book and watching the DVD is that he is equally skilled at teaching novices how to master the techniques and nuances of the speed bag.
I would recommend that you buy both book and DVD, as they support one another quite effectively. Watching the DVD took the mystery out of several techniques that I had been struggling with for a long time. I can honestly say that after watching the DVD once, my skill level at a couple of the more difficult techniques improved greatly.
One of the best benefits of buying this training course is that you can ask Alan questions on a forum he set up specifically for speed bag enthusiasts;
speedbagforum.com
Alan and others will answer all of your questions and I learned a lot simply by reading the older threads that contained many of the same questions or discussed some of the same problems I was having.
I think the combination of the book, DVD and the coaching you can get on the forum is superb and I commend all three to anyone who desires to become a highly skilled user of the speed bag.
Semper Fi,
Mike

Definitely, THE bible of speed bag training..........2002-07-27
The speedbag has always been the most technically baffling devices for boxing for me. I could never figure out how to hit the bag, the timing, and how to control it. But after reading this book, I have alot more confidence in my speedbag training. Alan definitely breaks down the do's and dont's to speedbag training right down from equipment to proper punching technique. He gives little tips on the advantages/disadvantes of wall speedbag platforms and freestanding platforms, s-hook/chain link swivels, speedbag covers, etc. He also deals quite a bit on proper safety and common injuries associated with speed bag training. Definitely answers alot of questions for those wanting to buy their first speedbag set. In his techniques section, he goes over all the basic punch/elbow combinations, their rhythms, and how to flow from one technique to the next. Let me tell you, the first four chapters deal mostly with basics but the later chapters are filled with different punch combinations that everyone from beginner to advanced people will be challenged. And he really does create an interesting technique of blending music like reading to his speedbag sets. At first it might seem daunting, but if you really do spend time in his techniques section, which he recommends, you'll be able to read and follow his routines like second nature. Near the end of his book, he'll also include some applications for the martial artist as well as setups on different workout devices like a stationary bike to include speedbag training. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it as a must buy for the basic boxing fan to the regular fitness enthusiast.

I read the book and bought the video, the video is very effective at demonstrating the various techniques, but I couldn't take the video to the gym, so I used the book at the gym and studied the video at home. I recommend the video
Book Description
"Damn good" fiction is dramatic fiction, Frey insists, whether it is by Hemingway or Grisham, Le Carre or Ludlum, Austen or Dickens. Despite their differences, these authors' works share common elements: strong narrative lines, fascinating characters, steadily building conflicts, and satisfying conclusions. Frey's How to Write a Damn Good Novel is one of the most widely used guides ever published for aspiring authors. Here, in How to Write a Damn Good Novel, II, Frey offers powerful advanced techniques to build suspense, create fresher, more interesting characters, and achieve greater reader sympathy, empathy, and identification.How to Write a Damn Good Novel, II also warns against the pseudo-rules often inflicted upon writers, rules such as "The author must always be invisible" and "You must stick to a single viewpoint in a scene," which cramp the imagination and deaden the narrative. Frey focuses instead on promises that the author makes to the reader-promises about character, narrative voice, story type, and so on, which must be kept if the reader is to be satisfied. This book is rich, instructive, honest, and often tellingly funny about the way writers sometimes fail their readers and themselves.
Customer Reviews:
Good advice.......2007-09-04
I'm glad I bought this book. There is definitely good content here and I will continue to work with it. I just wish I were more impressed with Frey's own writing. It gets the job done in a heavy handed sort of way, but isn't something I'd want to emulate or enjoy reading for hundreds of pages. This isn't a big slam, just a little case of being fussy. Hence the 4 instead of 5 star rating. It's still a valuable reference.
An excellent book for the budding novelist to read.......2007-05-17
As a continuation of his previous book, this one provides advanced techniques for dramatic storytelling. Frey shows the writer how to build suspense and create more interesting characters, and how to deal with the "P" word; he teaches the writer in a hands-on approach that shows you how to craft a compelling, dramatic tale from your prose, from beginning to end, in a way that readers will want to read ... and enjoy.
A Damn Good Book.......2007-04-11
How To Write A Damn Good Novel II by James N. Frey is a great book. Frey builds onto what he taught in How To Write A Damn Good Novel (one) and actually contradicts some of what he wrote in that first book. He says he has grown as a writer and realized some of his original points were not entirely accurate. Both books are great, but How To Write A Damn Good Novel II is essential for writers who want to be published--and who have read the first one. I got a lot out of this book and really think it's a great addition to your collection. It's a fast read packed with valuable advice. The chapter on character and the one on re-dreaming the dream are exceptionally useful.

GOsh I am glad I do not study writing under him!.......2007-01-26
Frey makes it clear from the beginning that his books are for formulaic work only. He insists in the first section that you go elsewhere if you want to write anything but what he misnomers dramatic novels (is that like the Circe episode in James Joyce Ulysses, written in dramatic format? Dramatic novels would be dramatized dialogues with narrator little more than stage manager). Thanks. I will go elsewhere.
Has this man never read Proust? He slaughters an earnest and undereducated young woman in his creative writing class, whose novel concerns the growth and development of a young woman, for spending thirty pages on dusting, Earlier in his book he had written how much he despises the whimpy housewife novel.
I would find interesting her thirty pages on dusting, as it might evoke the drudgery of such goings on. If Proust could spend a chapter on turning over in bed, why not dusting? It seems appropriate as dusting seems to go on endlessly. Has this man never dusted? Watched a loved one dust? He speaks often about developing keen observation.
Interestingly I often found his "poor examples" more evocative and better writing than his rewritten ones well painted with cliche and bombast. He found "give a hoot" a good example of color, and not a cliche. His "improved" versions were consistently forced and artificial.
I felt his best section when he finally hit his stride somewhere around the second half of his eighth chapter of nine. Then nine returned to acknowledging his wife and agent, as in the acknowledgment, without giving further information about them, in order to include them in the index. The index also includes a reference to the author of the greatest novel of all time, Ulysses, but referring to that page, one finds him referenced not to praise Caesar but to condemn and to bury him.
The height of arrogance and reverse snobbery is to condemn James Joyce as an elitist snob, when he actually employed the most popular voices, written and oral, of his time and city, writing for all of his people and humanity. The episode popularly called Nausicaa uses the precise voice of women's magazines of the day. The Cyclops episode uses the voices of barflies as well as interjections of Yeatsian legend making, plus sports journalism, as does the Aeolus episode. The Emmaus episode parodies what passed for amateur "literese" of that time. Throughout Joyce uses the voices, the cires, heard in the streets of Dublin of that time, and if now it seems elitist to us it is only because we are a less expressive and literate society.
Instead of this book, take a level one English lit course which will tell you about the parts of a mainstream novel. This author still has no concept of what a premise really is, and his examples are ridiculous. As examples of best novels he uses continually Jaws and Carrie, and little else, except the three little pigs. I must admit I found his references to Crime and Punishment interesting enough to seek out that old Russian moralist novel once again, and the John Hurt DRAMAtization..
Study Joyce instead. He, the fountainhead of all literature, will show you all you will ever need to know.

Book Description
Even if you've never attended a wedding in the South, you'll find laughter in the pages of this deliciously entertaining slice of Southern life and love, complete with recipes, advice, and a huge dose of that famous charm"In the Mississippi Delta, funerals bring out the best in people, while weddings, which are supposed to be happy occasions, bring out the worst." So say Gayden Metcalfe and Charlotte Hays, authors of the bestseller Being Dead Is No Excuse: The Official Southern Ladies' Guide to Hosting the Perfect Funeral, who turn their keen eyes and sharp wit from the end of the life cycle to the all-important midpoint. For anyone planning, participating in, or attending a wedding (Southern or not), this book will amuse, entertain, and provide advice for marital bliss, including:--It's OK to peek at an etiquette book, but if you rely too heavily on it, people will think that you are not fully acquainted with what is right and wrong. --Anything that was not done in the past doesn't need to be done now -- consider this before ordering a groom's cake, especially one featuring a fishing-tackle or golfing theme.

Not your typical wedding book . . ........2007-10-01
I love this book! It captures the frantic activities of all involved with such
humor that you hope one of your over-age daughters will soon be headed for the altar! It definitely lives up to the title.
Truth Can Be So Funny.......2007-05-31
Wonderfully witty - way too tame a term! - but oh, so realistic book about weddings, interspersed with recipes and tales of weddings past. I loved it and am recommending it to all my southern and not so southern friends and relatives.
The Wedding Book.......2007-05-17
It was very good but not quite as good as their first book.
good book & recipes- 'being dead' much funnier.......2007-05-16
I am from the South and the funeral book had me laughing so hard i - liketa died crying. this one is good and funny but not nearly as hilarious as the first one. I have childhood memories full of the green punch so that is a great addition. The recipes look good and there seems to be extra ones including alcohol, which is probably more appropriate.
I loved how they added the author's pictures in the back. The one lady-Gayden definitely looks like she is a woman from the South. However, the other, Charlotte, definitely looks as though she has left the South, as well as forgeting her cosmetic case behind. Like myself, when you leave and live somewhere else for awhile (in the north), the pressure is off to keep yourself looking well groomed and with at least SOME makeup. Bare-faced does not look good on anyone and at least makeup protects the skin from wrinkles because of the sun's damage. If still living in the South, her friends would ask her, 'Are you OK!?' knowing she must be sick or depressed in order to be seen with no makeup and her hair looking like that. Maybe that should be their next book; the pressure of appearance, shaving your legs, and makeup in the South. I'd be happy to help them out.
I was excited to see they had another book, but it is not nearly as hilarious as the first. It seems more tamed, or influenced by someone else's editing, a humorless northerner perhaps. Still a good book with good to have recipes on hand. rms
I keep it in my Kitchen :).......2007-05-12
There are some wonderful recipes in these books...I have this one and the one about the funerals. They are kept with my cookbooks because that is pretty much what they are. Reminds me of Justin Wilsons' cookbooks.

Making the Perfect Pitch.......2007-02-22
I saw Katharine Sands speak at UCLA. She was AMAZING, and her book is absolutely what I needed. I've just finished my first novel and am mustering the courage to submit it to agents. Now I think I can finally do it, thanks to the valuable tips in her book!
Gives you the ammunition you need.......2006-12-04
Katharine Sands, a successful literary agent with the Sara Jane Freymann Agency in New York, corrals 40 top agents and experts from CAA, Trident Media, Meredith G. Bernstein, Jane Dystel Literary Management, and more and gets them to tell what really excites them about pitches, query letters and proposals. "Making The Perfect Pitch" is well organized and the approach is unique. While it's informative to have the expertise of one agent it's invaluable to have the opinion of a number of different agents'. Ms. Sands brings a breadth of knowledge and experience to writers they desperately need and seldom receive. If you're hunting for an agent, you need to know how to pitch and "Making The Perfect Pitch" gives you the ammunition to be dead on target.

Pitching Is Key To Get Any Book Published.......2006-04-23
Agents are like editors with their own individual tastes for books to champion. Is the agent lured to your project or do they reject it? Often it will depend on the pitch. Literary agent Sands writes, "You can hire a caterer, a hit man, or a dominatrix. But you can't hire an agent. Literary agents must be enchanted, seduced, and won over to take you on as a client. They must want to devote their efforts to working on your behalf."
The beauty of this title is the different voices from forty top agents. Each chapter reveals some insight into what attracts a particular agent to a particular idea. I used my yellow highlighter often with this book because of great inspirational common sense advice. Here's an example from Sands chapter on Practicing Pitchcraft, "Writing is solitary; publishing is collaborative. The key point to understand: you want to get others excited about what is exciting to you."
A call to excellence in your craft is built into the fiber of this book and repeated often. As literary agent Joseph Regal wrote in his chapter on The Providential Diamond, "No agent is waiting for something that's 'almost' there; none of us are hoping a talented newcomer will send ragged, unfocused writing, no matter how promising. If your instinct is that another pass would make it better, make that pass. And do it again, until you are certain that you have reached a point where there isn't a single thing more you could think of that would make the book better."
Any writer or would-be writer can profit from the wisdom for pitching crammed into these pages.
Possibly the best book on the subject.......2006-03-25
I've read many books intended to help writers get published, but this is possibly the best book I've seen on getting an agent to notice your work. Katharine Sands, an agent herself, has given us a reference that is a must for your writing library.
We've all seen single-source guides on pitching your book, but Sands goes one further by collecting the wisdom of some of the top agents in the publishing business:
* Sarah Jane Freymann relates seven essentials needed in a query letter.
* Robert Gottlieb tells how to stay ahead of publishing trends.
* Michael Larsen give tips on establishing a marketing niche that will appeal to publishers and agents.
* Laurie Horowitz shows how agents can turn books into films.
* Andrew Stuart gives insider tips on paring back queries to their bare essence, packing the most punch on a page.
* Jane Dystel advises the best way to stand out from the rest of the slush pile.
* Donald Maass discusses stand-out settings, memorable protagonists and intractable problems that every novel needs to be breakout-worthy.
There are forty chapters of advice from the best in the business. And while some of it will, by nature, overlap, the info here is invaluable. It's a panel discussion in a convenient book form so beginning writers can refer to it again and again.
If you're considering writing for publication, this book is peerless. Highly recommended.
Sands hits it out of the park.......2005-10-26
Tons of wonderfully helpful guidance on how to sell yourself that has application way beyond how to hook a literary agent. Many many succinct and handsomely presented examples of pitching, all as related by a slough of experts who are on the receiving end of bushels of pitches. To be savored and digested in small doses and worth returning to over and over for renewed inspiration.

Twice hooked: fisherman and fish.......2007-05-10
Reviewed by Richard R. Blake for Reader Views (4/07)
"Fish Tales" is a compilation of exciting personal stories by Steve Chapman, avid fisherman and bestselling author. These stories provide profound insights Chapman gained while fishing. He records his personal feelings and ideas. Then he reinforces these thoughts with entertaining quotes from established classical writers, and well-known contemporary personalities. The book is lavishly illustrated with colorful paintings done by popular wildlife artists the Hautman Brothers, James, Robert and Joseph. These amazing paintings bring the narrative to life.
The unique and captivating writing style of Steve Chapman lift the sounds of birds chirping, insects buzzing, and the moving water of a river pool right off the page to the listening ear of the reader. You can almost feel the tug on your line as the colorful painting help you create images of reeling in a trout, walleye, or pike. Next, Steve includes tantalizing, delicious recipes for grilled fish fillet, microwave ginger fish, and other tempting savory sensations to awake your taste buds.
The book is very well-written, with short poignant chapters. It is easy for the reader to see himself in Chapman's situations and to adapt Steve's Christ-centered principles to bring balance to their own Christian life.
Steve inspires the reader to discover the heart of God while enjoying the experiences of drawing closer to God though patiently "waiting." He parallels the sport of fishing with the lessons he learned with personal applications for Christian living.
"Fish Tales" is a great gift for the nature enthusiast, outdoorsman, or for the sports fisherman. It is an excellent book to help a father bond with his son. The inspirational thoughts and spectacular wildlife paintings make this a gift book for any occasion.
