Book Description

Never mind Michael, Shaq and the rest, the U.S. Women's Basketball Team was the real "Dream Team" at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. After a remarkable undefeated season, Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, Rebecca Lobo and their teammates brought home Olympic gold under the unparalleled leadership of three-time National Coachof the Year, Tara VanDerveer. Shooting from Outside is Tara's riveting, behind-the-scenes chronicle of the excitement, drama and triumph of that unforgettable year, as well as an inspiring account of her own career: her battle against sexual discrimination in a male-dominated field, and her ultimate ascendance to the very top of her profession. This book is the riveting true-life story of the molding of a women's team that made sports history, and an intimate portrait of an indomitable leader who turned an impossible ambition into a reality.

Great insight into women's game and top coach.......2005-04-30

This is a fun and easy read for any fan of the women's game, centered around the pivotal 1996 Olympic gold medal-winning team, which in many ways marked a turning point in establishing the foundation upon which the modern game is built.

But not only does this book offer a wonderful historical perspective, and some great stories and inside anecdotes on many top players past and present, it also provides insight into the mind of one of the college game's top coaches.

Even for those close to Stanford basketball, Tara Vanderveer is a very private inividual. That's why I found this book especially helpful in providing a better understanding of her personal history, philosophy toward the game, how she feels it should be played, and how that all filters down to the teams she puts on the floor today.

Because Tara is often softspoken in public and not one to actively seek the limelight or TV cameras like some of the other big names in her profession, there may be a tendency by some to think she is more of a hands-off coach. And despite the occasional glare from the sideline, a calm and quiet presence. Nothing could be further from the truth. This book does a good job of uncovering the intensity that boils deep inside and her unbending desire to win.

Shooting from the Outside.......2001-12-12

Tara Vanderveer is the author of the inspiring autobiography Shooting form the Outside. In this autobiography, Tara Vanderveer discusses the challenges and obstacles that she must overcome into to reach her goal of winning the gold medal. The autobiography discusses the hardships, conflicts, and problems that the team faces throughout the year and shows how teamwork can overcome anything.
This novel is pretty much an overview of the Women's Basketball team throughout their Olympic season. The novel starts out with Tara Vanderveer talking about her child hood days and how she developed a love for the game. She talks about how she use to be a mascot for the school, used to write down every new play she heard in a notebook, and how she went and watched the men's basketball team to learn any new play on offense or defense she could pick up. The story then proceeds to Coach Vanderveer discussing her thoughts and concerns for the year that lay ahead of the eleven woman that have been selected as the national team. She talks about her past failures like the 1994 World Games that have pushed her and motivated her to win the gold medal. She promised that the embarrassment and disgrace that she felt from the World Games will never happen again. One can easily feel the strong determination and motivation that Coach Vanderveer feels, and how she uses this as an ally and works the team harder than they have ever been worked before.
This book was undoubtedly worth reading from my point of view. This book taught me information about Title IX that I had previously never even heard about. The book showed me the true struggle that a woman must face and has taught me a sense of respect for woman who have succeeded in the past.
One issue the book brings up is that woman are not given enough opportunity to succeed in life. A woman's determination and motivation can easily be destroyed or brought down by the cruelness and unfairness of discrimination towards woman. Therefore, since woman can do all jobs just as productively as men, the book suggests that woman should be given fair and equal treatment and equal opportunities to men.
In conclusion, Shooting from the Outside is an excellent book that teachers lessons and values that should be known and followed by all of society. The story teachers discrimination is pointless and by not allowing woman to perform to their full capacity we are truly ruining our own opportunities to further succeed in life.

Inspirational For Any Female Athlete.......2001-04-07

This is a really inspirational book for those who care about womens' basketball. I had a really hard time putting it down. You feel as if you are part of the U.S. Olympic Team, and were there to witness the trials and tribulations of their road to Gold. Great book for those who play basketball or enjoy it. (Especially if you're female!!) I think I will start reading the book from the beginning again tomorrow. It also meant more to me then maybe someone else because I have been to Tara's Camps and been able to interact with Jennifer Azzi and Katy Steding, and other players as well. It is totally my favorite book ever!

An interesting insider view of high-stakes basketball.......1999-07-29

I confess that I have been a fan of Tara Vanderveer for nearly 10 years. I think I understand that basketball is a very major part of her life. She likes Bob Knight, sheesh. This book was a very easy read even though you already know how it will end. When you finish the book you might feel like you want to see if the players saw everything the same way. Well, this is her point of view.

Really fascinating!.......1998-06-16

I thoroughly enjoyed this in-depth view of Tara's work with the Women's National (Olympic) team of 1996. The team was a masterpiece, and being able to see it thru the eyes of its coach was really something special. It gave me great insight into Tara and her drive and dedication to the sport and to the team. A great book!!

For the obsessive, geek nirvana.......2007-04-25

A great reference to a great game. Rusel Demaria pads out the dry strategy sections with some fan-fiction to flesh out the story. It reminds me of the "choose your own adventure" books from the 1980s, which isn't a bad thing. Without it, this would be a dry tome full of stats and tables, the kind of thing one could print from an online listing.

The only criticism I have is that laying all the code on the table like this takes away a lot of the mystery and fun of the game -- it becomes painfully clear that it's a computer program when you know all the trigger points for the game's events. For the purest experience, use this as a reference if you get stuck, not as a companion piece to every mission, lest you spoil some of the surprises.

Customer Reviews:

could be even better.......2007-03-17

This book has great examples, is clear and well organized. The thing that I find falls short with books relating to VBA libraries, is that there isn't a nice little short reference containing the relevant classes, objects, syntax, and examples to call the library functions and methods. If the authors were to include this very helpful aid, I'd rate this book a 5 in a heartbeat.

Great tool to learn VBA .......2006-06-27

I've taught VBA for a few years, and this book is fantastic. If you are trying to learn VBA from the position of an intermediate Excel user, it is a GREAT way to do so. The extensive coverage of the range object is invaluable, as is the coverage on VBA's debugging tools. I've even recommended this book to Access students just to get a better handle on how to use the VBA debugging tools, because the topic is so well covered! The index leaves a bit to be desired, thus falling somewhat short as a reference tool afterwards - but if you're looking for a nuts and bolts tutorial that is practical and fun, this is it!

Great VBA Excel Book.......2006-05-27

I have may books on excel and vba for excel. This is the best self help book on vba in excel that I have encountered.

Don't Start with This One.......2004-06-24

If you're new to VBA, as I was, don't make the same mistake I did. This book is definitely not what I was hoping for. Very unorganized for a starter book, and not much good content. The book from the Wrox group is MUCH better.

There is no better book to teach and learn VBA for Excel.......2004-05-15

Although this book is indeed introductory and would not qualify as a reference manual it is the best resource that I have found to teach VBA object programming to my students. The examples are great and with the exception of Chapter 6 on Pivot Tables, maybe too difficult for a beginner, I agree with the good reviews of this book.

Book Description

To reach freedom, the most famous escapers of all time have been willing to endure the most horrific conditions—and the direst consequences if caught. The collection of tales in The Greatest Escape Stories Ever Told is gripping as only true life-and-death struggles can be: Papillon fighting through the jungles of Guiana only to commit himself to the open ocean in a sixteen-foot boat rather than face a life in exile; Rocky Gause dodging bullets as he swims through shark-infested waters to escape the Japanese at Bataan, while those around him simply quit; Latude battling against the dreaded Bastille; Baron Trenck—with chains covering almost every inch of his body—digging and digging to free himself from wrongful imprisonment; Andre Devigny, so weak from starvation and poor treatment that he could barely lift himself, shimmying across a rope only yards above a German sentry during World War II on the eve of his execution.
These are just a few of the twenty-five bold and ingenious tales of escape included in this collection. The Greatest Escape Stories Ever Told will hold readers captive for years to come!

Fascinating Collection.......2006-08-11

Reviewed by Rebecka Vigus for Reader Views (7/06)

Mr. Brown has found a fascinating collection of escape stories. Each story has it's own place in history. While the earlier stories in the book deal with escapes in Europe, the middle section deals with Native Americans who took captives, and the Civil War in America. You are then plunged in to World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Viet Nam, and of course those who were held as political prisoners. Each tale holds its own suspense and action.

The people in each of these stories held freedom above all else. They dug, clawed, ran, crawled, and swam to escape their prisons. Each individual believed enough in their own abilities to make the break for freedom.

I found it amusing that Mr. Brown chose to include fictional escapes as well as those that were true. The infamous Scarlet Pimpernel and the exploits of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn were a pleasant change from the harrowing escapes of war prisoners.

I found it very easy to read one and take time to enjoy it before moving on to the next. It was entertaining. At times I found it to be full of nail biting suspense. There were other times when I just could not put it down.

If you have any interest at all in how ways people find to escape and the human sacrifices they make this book is a must read.

A unique and compelling anthology.......2003-04-08

The Greatest Escape Stories Ever Told: Twenty-Five Unforgettable Tales compiled and edited by Darren Brown is a remarkable compilation of the most famous, desperate, death-defying and inspirational escapes throughout history which were undertaken by prisoners of war, sentenced criminals, including classic tunnel escapes, and even escapes captured in immortal prose by the likes of Mark Twain and Alexander Dumas, -- which were based on true events in history. A unique and compelling anthology, The greatest Escape Stories Every Told is enthusiastically recommended reading.

As the first of a projected four-volume collection that will portray the complete history of California, Contested Eden contains a dozen essays ranging from prehistory to 1848. Because it is often common to think of California's history as beginning with the Gold Rush, this text provides a welcome look at the rich background of the most populous state. It is sure to be of interest both to academic and novice historians. Contested Eden begins with an examination of California's natural history, and proceeds in a roughly chronological fashion through the Indian settlements, the conquest by Spain, the incursions of Russian traders, the settlers who came overland from the United States, and the role of California in the war between the U.S. and Mexico. Other essays tackle themes such as cultural conflicts and gender roles. On occasion the writing lapses into academic jargon, but for the most part the pieces are lucid and highly informative.

Book Description

Celebrating the 150th birthday of the state of California offers the opportunity to reexamine the founding of modern California, from the earliest days through the Gold Rush and up to 1870. In this four-volume series, published in association with the California Historical Society, leading scholars offer a contemporary perspective on such issues as the evolution of a distinctive California culture, the interaction between people and the natural environment, the ways in which California's development affected the United States and the world, and the legacy of cultural and ethnic diversity in the state.
California before the Gold Rush, the first California Sesquicentennial volume, combines topics of interest to scholars and general readers alike. The essays investigate traditional historical subjects and also explore such areas as environmental science, women's history, and Indian history. Authored by distinguished scholars in their respective fields, each essay contains excellent summary bibliographies of leading works on pertinent topics. This volume also features an extraordinary full-color photographic essay on the artistic record of the conquest of California by Europeans, as well as over seventy black-and-white photographs, some never before published.

found this very useful...........2002-08-27

....for my doctoral research, which involves the history of California. The editors made a conscious choice to show this history in less Eurocentric form; Native Californian voices and perspectives are taken seriously, and there is good ethnographic and naturalistic information to be had.

While I'm not an expert in this area, I do question whether the persistent use of terms like "aristocracy," "hierarchy," "wealth," "headman," and "chief" are appropriate when discussing Native Californians. My impression is that our Western and European prejudices are still at work here.

This book looks at pre-gold rush California from various angles. Essays on native California history, along with indigenous actions during early occupation years are major parts of this text.

Truly a gem of a book........2002-07-12

This elegant little book covers the elements of a senior or 1st year graduate course on complex analysis, although a really good mathematics program like at Berkeley may look upon it as providing some material for a junior course in advanced calculus. It is not a new book, i.e. it predates the space age and computers, but the material is timeless and fundamental. Highly recommended for those who want some exposure to a first-class style in mathematics.

Despite not being a very recent book, a graduate student of mathematics who has to prepare complex analysis as a general topic for his qualifying examinations may find that this text covers all the essential material in the subject.
