Summary

Win at Bridge and Impress Your Friends!
When you open How to Play Bridge, you’ll discover a rich and exciting world of strategy. Bridge has long been associated with the modern aristocracy. Harold Vanderbilt (on a long ocean cruise) combined two popular variants of Whist (a 17th-century card game) to create the game we lovingly call Bridge.
This comprehensive (and easy-to-understand) guidebook explains how you can impress your opponents with your knowledge of the game. You can step up to the table with confidence after mastering the many concepts and strategies in this fascinating book:
Bidding Basics and Basic Gameplay
Playing as the Declarer and the Dummy
Scoring: Contract/Overtrick Points
Slam, Doubled, and Redoubled Bonuses
Rubber and Honour Bonuses
Avoiding Penalties and Common Errors
You’ll even learn advanced concepts like reading players’ card organization styles, noticing psychological tells, and playing well with your partner. By mastering the rules of the game and making them second nature, you can pay more attention to the cards played – and the people playing them. By understanding each player’s point of view, you can rule the table and win big at bridge!

    “The next best thing to actually seeing the prehistoric cave art of southern Franc[e] . . . A rapturous guide through five major Ice Age sites” (Archaeology).   The cave art of France’s Dordogne region is world-famous for the mythology and beauty of its remarkable drawings and paintings. These ancient images of lively bison, horses, and mammoths, as well as symbols of all kinds, are fascinating touchstones in the development of human culture, demonstrating how far humankind has come and reminding us of the ties that bind us across the ages.   Over more than twenty-five years of teaching and research, Christine Desdemaines-Hugon has become an unrivaled expert in the cave art and artists of the Dordogne region. In Stepping-Stones she combines her expertise in both art and archaeology to convey an intimate understanding of the “cave experience.” Her keen insights communicate not only the incomparable artistic value of these works but also the near-spiritual impact of viewing them for oneself.   Focusing on five fascinating sites, including the famed Font de Gaume and others that still remain open to the public, this book reveals striking similarities between art forms of the Paleolithic and works of modern artists and gives us a unique pathway toward understanding the culture of the Dordogne Paleolithic peoples and how it still touches our lives today.   “Her vivid descriptions help readers visualize the Cro-Magnon man or woman painting the beautiful bison, horses, mammoths, and other symbols. [A] fine reading experience.” —Library Journal

    How the Government Got in Your Backyard distills the science, the politics, and the unbiased, nonpartisan truth behind hot-button environmental issues from pesticides to global warming. By clearly representing what the left says, what the right says, what the science is, and what the facts are, Gillman and Heberlig don't set out to provide the answer - they light the path so concerned citizens can uncover their own true and informed opinion. In this season of political discontent, the unbiased truth about environmental policies - free of political agendas - is as refreshing as it is fascinating. How the Government Got in Your Backyard is not for Republicans or Democrats, liberals or conservatives. It's for anyone who is ready to get to the bottom line.
