Extractions: List price: that's off! Average review score: This book is the best ever written on waterfowl! I read - Goose Hunting. Improving Your Skills and thought that was super. However, this book is better. I would rate it 100 star if I could because I sure learned a lot from reading this book, especially the chapters on concealment and decoys. The best waterfowl book ever written! It is a 50 star book! The great stories of experiences by the author and the super tips and pieces of advice make this book super. You will learn so much about concealment, decoys, picking the right fields to set up in, calling, shooting, equipment. The author tells it like it is while pointing out whether the piece of equipment is good or bad. He sure thinks the BALE BLIND and the TEXAS RAG decoy are bad pieces of equipment. I would recommend this book. It was a great book.

Extractions: Skating. Grades 5 and up / Ages 10 and up. Review by Lorraine Douglas. excerpt: These are times for greatness. They are trying times, too, for figure skating is dealing with new scoring systems, new structures and new challenges. But in the midst of turmoil, great skating still shines. And the list of talented skaters sparkles with new names. In each section. the biggest stars, like Evgeny Plushenko, Sasha Cohen, Shen and Zhao, and Bourne and Kraatz, are given several pages for their biographies. Their write ups include personal quotes as well as describing how they started skating and overcame challenges to achieve their dreams. Steve Milton, a sports writer, has a highly readable and energetic style. Sidebars provide vital information like birth dates, coaches, choreographers, etc., and some special tidbits of information are bulleted. There is a complete listing of the stars' standings in recent competitions. There are over 25 individual skaters featured as well as ten pairs teams and 13 ice dance couples. The shorter biographies are often one page in length accompanied with a striking photograph. These artists include the Canadian Jeff Buttle who was runner-up to Plushenko at Skate Canada 2003, a number of talented Chinese skaters like Chengjiang Li, and dancers Grushina and Goncharov.
CM Magazine: Super Skaters: World Figure Skating Stars in the four skating disciplines (men s, women s, pairs and ice The biographies arekept to one page in length full page colour photos show the skaters in action http://www.umanitoba.ca/outreach/cm/vol4/no1/superskaters.html
Extractions: Review by Irene Gordon. Not only will Super Skaters be of great interest to avid figure skating fans, but it will also be very useful for school research projects. The book is introduced by a history of figure skating, from the first use of animal bones as skate blades some 4000 years ago, to the use of metal blades in Holland in the 14th Century, to the founding of the first skating club in the world in Scotland around 1650, to the present. As well, there is a description of how skaters prepare their programs, illustrated explanations of how the various jumps are done, a listing of the Olympic gold medalists in the four skating disciplines (men's, women's, pairs and ice dance), and an explanation of how competitions are judged. "As more and more people in Europe and North America discovered the pleasures of skating, they began to skate together on ponds and lakes. The first skating club in the world, the Edinburgh Skating Club in chilly Scotland, came into being around 1650. To join the club, you had to be able to skate in a circle on one foot, then on the other foot, then jump over a pile of three hats. Perhaps these tricky exercises could be considered the first skating competition. "(Page 3)

The Olympics Short biographies supported by lots of photographs and quotes introduce the reader Icedancers Torvill and Dean, pairs skaters Gordeeva and Grinkov, solo stars http://www.childrenslit.com/th_olympics.html
Extractions: This book is part of the "Nature Company Discovery Library," a new reference series for children published by Time-Life Books. The text is engaging and offers a wealth of information including how the Olympic games began, what foods the ancient Greeks ate, medicines they used, and backgrounds of the famous Greek scientists and philosophers. Large colorful illustrations, maps, and photographs of ancient artifacts accompany the text. Each illustration and photograph has a caption giving anecdotes and dated information. The section on art and science has a four-page pullout illustrating an ancient Greek theater. A fascinating and fact-filled resource for children. 1997, Time-Life Books, Ages 10 up, $17.95. Reviewer: Cheryl Peterson Women gymnasts have always possessed precision, power and grace. But it was not until 1972 that a young Soviet athlete, Olga Korbut stepped into the Olympic spotlight and changed the face of the sport forever. Until Korbut, the stars of women's gymnastics were mature, conservative, technically sound veterans in the twenties or early thirties. Today's gymnasts are young risk-takers with a keen competitive spirit and a passion for perfection. This nonfiction book profiles eight of the world's best female gymnastsSimona Amanar, Vanessa Atler, Dominique Dawes, Ling Jie, Svetlana Khorkina, Kristen Maloney, Shannon Miller and Dominique Moceanu. Chapters giving a brief overview of the sport are also included. This is a great reference book for school or library, and or a gift book for the budding gymnast! It is part of the "Women of Sports" series. 1999, Millbrook Press, Ages 8 to 12, $22.90 and 6.95. Reviewer: Dianne Ochiltree
