Here is a thorough guide to this new breed of angling, for both fresh and saltwater fishermen.  Choosing a kayak, outfitting with rod-holders and electronics, storage, anchoring systems, safetly and more--plus techniques for pursuing a wide range of species from a kayak--are all covered in this book.

With this new, fresh, and highly readable introduction to sail trim, Dallas Murphy’s PLAIN SAILING goes far to demystify the often intimidating aspects of sailing that confront the unseasoned sailor. 

By focusing on “wind awareness,” Plain Sailing will help all sailors better understand the principles and practice of sail trim—how to adjust sails so they interact most efficiently with the wind.  There is a direct relationship between sailing efficiency and sailing fun.  Knowing when, how, and why to trim your sails is the essence of sailing.  If you understand trim, you understand sailing. 

          Plain Sailing also covers how to look at sails, how to distinguish good trim from bad, how to diagnose a blown-out sail, and much more.  This book is essential reading for all beginning sailors, as well as for more experienced cruising sailors who want to get the most out of their boats. 

Groundbreaking studies show that the adult brain can learn only one new motor skill at a time.  The golf swing is a series of fundamental motor skills, all simple to learn, but not easy to master or combine. Mastery of these fundamentals is the key to consistently good golf, round after round.

In Golf from the Ground Up Bob Mullen emphasizes the critical importance of the "platform," the synergy of grip, stance, footwork, rotation, alignment, and ball position. A repeatable swing cannot happen until the fundamentals of the platform are mastered.  Errant shots come from errors in the platform, not the swing. "Get your platform fundamentals correct, " writes Mullen, "and the swing corrects itself."

This book also addresses the slice--"the number one fault in golf"--with a fresh analysis of why the slice occurs and how to cure it.  The Author''s Note''s section breaks new ground on one of golf''s perennial questions, "Hogan''s secret," with Mullen''s insighful analysis of how Hogan achieved his remarkable clubhead speed.

With clear, detailed explanations of skills golfers need to know, and drills and exercises to make them permanent, this book will help all struggling golfers take their games to a higher level.

The Complete Guide to Surfcasting also covers driving on the beach, tools and accessories for the surfcaster, basic gear maintenance, and much more. With over 250 photographs and illustrations, this is a book that can help turn the casual surfcaster into a seasoned pro.
