  “Details the author’s selection of thirty-three premier English Golf Clubs. It is comprehensive, useful, well illustrated and an up-to-date reference book.” —West Sussex Golf Club 
   
  Every golf course around the world has one thing in common—they are all unique. Golf provides a different experience wherever you go. No two courses are ever the same and each has their own captivating story to tell. 
   
  Blessed with a rich and varied landscape, England has a prolific collection of coastal links and inland courses created by some of golf’s most cherished craftsmen; Sunningdale (Park Jr. & Colt), Walton Heath (Fowler), St Enodoc (Braid), Alwoodley and Moortown (MacKenzie) to name just a few. 
   
  This guide offers a golfer everything they would require to enjoy a great round of golf at the best courses England has to offer. All the information you need is right here—par scores, yardage, green-fee price indicators, booking procedure, history of each club and how best to play the course. 
   
  England is where golf’s greatest artists have gifted us moments to treasure for eternity. A young Ballesteros lifting the claret jug at Royal Lytham & St Annes, Bobby Jones storming to victory at Hoylake on his way to the grand slam, and who can ever forget Nicklaus and Jacklin bringing their titanic Ryder Cup battle to a close with a famous handshake at Royal Birkdale. 
   
  Sharing a border with its spiritual home, England is undoubtedly golf’s exquisite front garden. 
   
  “What really makes the book come alive is the amount of research Michael has clearly put in. Only the most ardent golf historian wouldn’t find out something new.” —UKGolfGuy.com

  Cowboy Up! - Life Lessons from...

  “His stories are timeless lessons of living, loving, and learning the Western way of life that will inspire all generations.” —Stuart Rosebrook, author of At Work in Arizona 
   
  If you’re served a piece of humble pie, thank the server and choke it down. So says H. Alan Day, an award-winning author and American cowboy, who grew up on a 200,000-acre southwestern cattle ranch, made a hand at age five, and lived adventures most of us only witness on Netflix. 
   
  While interacting with cowhands, horses, and the land, Alan learned valuable life lessons about loyalty, trust, humility, forgiveness, persistence, failure, innovation, and success. Now, this cowboy is ready to share his hard-earned wisdom with those who may never own or even ride a horse, much less rope a cow, train a wild mustang, or witch a well, but who, like Alan, contend day-in and day-out with the true grit of life. 
   
  Cowboy Up! is a collection of thirty-five personal stories narrated by Alan Day in his authentic western voice. These stories touch on topics that affect us all: friendship, family, business, politics, community, and conservation. As Alan learned early on, a true friend has your back for life, whether that friend has two legs or four legs. If you don’t learn to listen, you may end up swinging from your suspenders on a bunkhouse hook; and if your pickup is about to get washed away in a flash flood, you better do some quick, two-step thinking. Alan’s stories not only explore what it means to be human, they evoke laughter, disbelief, wonder, joy, and more than a few heartfelt tears.

That tradition continues with the 18th edition of Etiquette, which welcomes a new generation of Posts—Anna Post, Lizzie Post, and Daniel Post Senning—the great-great grandchildren of Emily Post. Led by Peggy Post, author of the 16th and 17th editions of Etiquette, this team shows how twenty-first-century manners are a combination of kindness, confidence, and awareness.New trends, topics, and societal hot zones include:When is it okay to “unfriend” someone on Facebook?If I’m in a middle seat on an airplane, do I automatically get both armrests?A business client is sick with a cold—am I obligated to shake his hand?Is it rude for guests to tweet from a wedding?Do I have to buy a gift if I attend a destination wedding?Can I email a condolence note?Should I cover up my tattoo for a job interview?The Posts don’t stint on classic conundrums, either. Emily Post’s Etiquette includes advice on names and titles, dress codes, invitations, table manners, workplace frustrations, and weddings.According to the Posts, though times have changed, the principles of good manners remain constant. Above all, manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. Being considerate, respectful, and honest is more important than knowing which fork to use. Whether it’s a handshake or a fist bump, it’s the underlying sincerity and good intentions of the action that matter most.

  The Passenger: California

  Passenger The

  The best new writing, photography, art, and reportage from and about California—in the “rich and engrossing” series for travelers and armchair travelers (Times Literary Supplement). 
   
  From the Gold Rush to Hollywood’s golden age to the rise of Silicon Valley, California has long stood as the brightest symbol of the American dream. In recent years, however, the country’s mainstream media has been declaring with increasing frequency—and thinly veiled schadenfreude—the “end of California as we know it.” 
   
  The pessimists point to rising inequality, racial tensions, and the impact of climate change as evidence that the Californian dream has been shattered. Between extreme heat, months-long droughts, devastating wildfires, and rising sea levels, looking at California is like watching the trailer for what awaits the world if we don’t act to reduce global warming. Faced with these pressures, more and more Californians are leaving the state, leading to an unprecedented decline in population that could change the cultural and political balance of power in the country at large. 
   
  That said, demographic decline and climate disasters don’t tell the whole story of one of the most dynamic and diverse states in the Union—one that continues to drive technological and political innovation and define the evolution of work, food, entertainment, and social relations. This volume offers a fascinating picture of California in all its complexity and contradictions—an attempt to understand the laboratory where much of the world’s future continues to be written—with pieces including: 
   
  Growing Uncertainty in the Central Valley by Anna Wiener • How Does It Feel to Be a Solution? by Vanessa Hua • The Burning of Paradise by Mark Arax • Plus: direct democracy and unsustainable development, the rise of the “land back” movement, the cultural renaissance of Los Angeles in defiance of rampant gentrification, and much more . . .  
   
  “The Passenger readers will find none of the typical travel guide sections on where to eat or what sights to see. Consider the books, rather, more like a literary vacation.” —Publishers Weekly

  I know why you're here. You've probably seen some of the influencers online bragging about how they've made millions flipping NFTs, and now they have 30 Lambos! They live in an oceanside mansion and have a private butler who picks out all of the brown m&ms from the packet before serving them. You want to live like that, right? NFTs are your ticket to millions. They have to be! Because you've already tried everything else! Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you should probably not start shopping for Lambos just yet...The truth is that a lot of those projects fail. Just hop on Twitter or discord now, and you'll see them literally begging people to buy or raise the price of their NFTs.It's because they failed to have a plan and like some brilliant person whose name I don't recall right now used to say. "If you fail to plan, you are planning the fail" The brilliant person was Benjamin Franklin btw. Thanks, Google.Lucky for you, that you somehow stumbled upon our little book. So we're going to give you a plan! We're not guaranteeing Lambos just yet; that comes in the final chapter. Just kidding, this is not financial advice, etc., do your own research We've laid this book out in easy to understand format with six different sections. Well, it's technically six after the legal stuff(please don't sue me, bro) and prologue where we introduce ourselves and give you "The Ultimate NFT Glossary" sorry, it's long but trust me, you'll need it before you embark on your journey! So, after that stuff above, you get to the six sections or phases as we like to call them. I would type them all here, but I don't want to spoil the adventure or the table of contents, for that matter! Thanks for even coming to our sales page and for even considering buying our book! The last thing, if you do get a Lambo from following our advice, you're going to have to let me put my kid's car seat in it and take it for a spin! 
  See you on the inside!
