Customer Reviews:
Great book to keep your workout goal oriented and interesting.......2006-02-24
This book is great! I have always had a problem falling into a workout rut, and this book has designed a fun golf workout that changes every two weeks. I would recommend this book or any book in this series to someone who is training for a specific sport. The book is simple to read and you can download blank workout sheets from their website so you can track your progress. The book also has pictures explaining each exercise that is well organized by muscle group. Golf season has not started yet but I am looking forward to getting out there and crushing some great shots.
New Edition is Way Better.......2006-01-23
I'm a multi sport athlete who trains all year round regardless of what sport I play. I bought a few of these Ultimate Guide to Weight Training books, and they definitely helped me train specifically for the different sports that I play. Then about a year later I received an email from amazon that there was a new edition out. These upgraded editions are even better than the originals, with more articles and a lot more sport-specific information. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who plays a lot of sports or wants to specifically focus on training for one sport in particular.
Ultimate.......2005-07-20
This was a quick, easy and informative read for the novice weight trainer/improving golfer. Very nice!
Helped my Golf Team.......2004-12-06
I'm an athletic director and I bought all the books in this series for my coaches and their athletes. We're the best conditioned team in the conference, and it gives us an edge in all sports. Especially golf, since many golfers dont work-out.
A Great Golf Fitness and Conditioning Guide..........2004-02-09
After using the Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Golf, my hanicap went from 18 to 7....I am longer, straighter, and better.....I consistently drive the ball 275 yds and am hitting each iron 10 yds longer....I owe it all the the Ultimate Guide....Thanks to Robert Price I am now one of the top golfers at my club....You can't go wrong with the Ultimate Guide people, see for yourself..

Customer Reviews:
Fountain of Youth.......2003-10-27
After using the programs in this book, I feel 10 years younger. I can actually see some definition in my physique and my golf game has improved dramatically. I hit the ball at least 30 yards farther consistantly on my drives and I'm not getting tired at the end of my rounds. This book is like weight training 101 for golf, it's written in such an easy and direct manner. Also, the recommended programs in the book are not too overbearing and really cater to the needs of us time-pressed 'middle agers'. I strongly recommend this book.

great for the beginner.......2007-03-30
too big (many) to be really portable, but with a thousand cards they're worthwhile and you could always split them up...beats making them yourself.
Sehr prakitisch!.......2006-07-28
I got these cards (1,000) to fill many of the gaps I had in my vocabulary and grammar. The cards are a bit smaller and made of a thinner stock than I imagined, but they're very efficient and serve their purpose well. Many of the cards offer variations of the words displayed, so you can learn much more than 1,000 words should you choose.
Great learning tool and an absolute bargain........2004-04-07
This is a set of flash cards that roughly corresponds to the 1000 most commonly used words in the German language. They're great. They're the perfect size, small enough to carry a bunch comfortably in your pocket, but not so small that they're difficult to manipulate in your hand. When you're done with these, buy blank ones and make your own.

An intelligent collection of opposites make learning easy........1998-12-08
By placing the opposites together on the visual cards, memorizing vocabulary is made easier. The humorous pictures make using them fun. Children seem to particularly enjoy and amuse themselves with these easy to carry along packets of German descriptive words. By focusing on adjectives and adverbs beginning speakers immediately expand their control of a language. My 12 year old son has been using the cards consistently since we obtained them for his German studies.

Flash Cards, Not Help Sheets.......2005-10-10
These are well done flash cards by the same company that makes vocabulary cards for various languages. Unfortunately, this was not clear in the description - I mistakenly presumed they were large grammar charts. These flash cards are more useful for the advanced German student rather than the beginner.

Book Description
Cartoons for connoisseurs
Just how do they do it? The artists behind the cartoons are the focus of this sweeping study that brings you everything you everwanted to know about today's best animation specialists.
We've rounded up about 80 of the world's most prominent artists/studios and arranged them from A to Z, including examples and descriptions of their work as well as biographies, filmographies, bibliographies, lists of awards received, and contact information. Profiles of the world's best animation schools are also provided.
Bonus: DVD showing examples of work, `making of,' commercials, trailers, and a selection of artist/studio reels
Customer Reviews:
No Hertzfeldt??.......2005-08-01
Any overview of today's animation is woefully incomplete without a section on Don Hertzfeldt. He's hands down the most important American animation film maker alive. One can only guess that he just didn't want to be involved with the book??
Otherwise this book is an OK, but very scattered look at some famous names in 1970's and 80's animation.
Very good sample.......2005-06-11
This is not a book about how to make animation, is a great sample of the work of many studios, styles and artists in the animation world. The photos are great, and is easy to read. I think that if you love animation, or you want to have an animation culture, you gotta have it.
LALO
Sucks........2005-02-27
The animators represented in the book and DVD of this overpriced book are by and large TERRIBLE! If this is a true reflection of the state of the art, than we are in some serious trouble. But it can't be -- because I've been to too many animation festivals to know that this is a slipshod piece of work. It took me literally an hour to realize that there was very little of any worth in this text; and if there was a studio that looked like it had interesting material, it was given two paragraphs (like all of the entries). Where are the interviews? Where is the analysis? THIS BOOK SUCKS. And the DVD! Whoa what a stinker. Some of the commercials are so bad, so grating, so abnoxious it makes you want to strangle the animated characters. And then the "serious" material is LAUGHABLE. I mean, it's like a SNL skit with the droning cellos and violins, ridiculous metaphors and pointless exercises in technique. What is the meaning of seeing a Picasso painting morph into a Van Gogh? Must have been tough to do -- too bad it's almost completely without artistic merit. What a colossal waste of time! And I don't want to spend any more of mine writing this review.
A Glossy Salute to Contemporary Animation.......2005-01-22
First and foremost, you're probably wondering which short films are included on the DVD (which is Region 1 compatible and plays beautifully). Here's the list:
Feet of Song - Erica Russell
The Man with the Beautiful Eyes - Jonathan Hodgson
Mt. Head - Koji Yamamura
Yo Yo - Little Fluffy Clouds Studio
Interrogating Ernie - Loose Moose Studio
Anijam - Marv Newland
Death + the Mother - Ruth Lingford
Local Dive - Sarah Watt
Dia de los Muertos - Vinton Studio
A Dog's Cartoon - Wild Brain Studio
There are, as others have mentioned, a wealth of other extras including excerpts, trailers and showreels. Combined with the book, which is too light on text but abundant in beautiful animation stills, the consumer is getting a tremendous value and the animation fan is getting a wonderful addition to her collection.
I particularly appreciated the integration of commercial studio work with the work of the independent masters - it gave the package a more rich overview contemporary animation. Plus, I finally got my first glimpses of some much acclaimed but hard-to-find animations: Daniel Greaves (Flatworld), Igor Kovaliov (Bird in the Window) and Gil Alkabetz (The Swamp) among others.
This book is a real treat -- highly recommended! Enjoy!

A must for you folks who work in the animation business. The eighty studios included have from six to eight spreads showing stills, roughs, storyboards and sometimes model sheets. The color, design and printing are first-class. Most of the studios are American, no surprise there but the rest of the world gets a good showing, England, France, Holland, Brazil, Russia, Australia, Japan, Portugal etc. Having so many countries helps to produce an amazing range of styles.
The several hundred beautiful images in the book are all very well but animation implies movement and this is where the DVD comes in, divided into these sections, Short films, Excerpts, Trailers, TV commercials, Making of and finally a Show Reel, it all adds up to three and a half hours viewing! My favorites are the work of Little Fluffy Clouds and Duck Soup Studios but again the work is from around the world and so really varied.
'Animation Now!' is a super package just as a book but throw in the DVD and it surely is a 'must have' goodie.
