The Runner's Guide to the Meaning of Life

Amby Burfoot

Skyhorse Publishing, 2007

Burfoot Delivers Again
Burfoot's "The Runner's Guide to the Meaning of Life" is so simple yet so thorough. It's such a quick read, but the depth and variety of each short, powerful chapter is incredible. I literally could not put it down. I particularly connected with the chapter on ...

Back to Basics: A Complete Guide to Traditional Skills, Third Edition

Skyhorse Publishing, 2008

The Skills Your Grandparents Had, But You Probably Don't
Until I checked this book out of the library, I had rarely given a thought to getting "back to basics," that is learning how to be more self-sufficient. After I read the book, I soon bought it, because it opened my eyes to the many ways that I am almost entirely ...

Jules Archer

"Fascinating and alarmingly true!" - Time Magazine
Smedley Darlington Butler - A U.S. Marine War hero picked by the corporate elite to oust FDR so they could install their own fascist dictator. Impossible you say? You've never heard of him because they don't teach this stuff in school. I guess it's not that ...

Practical Watch Repairing

Donald de Carle

Skyhorse Publishing, 2008

Mechanical watch repair
I am amazed that this book (my edition printed in 2006) is an exact copy of a 1971 printing. Mechanical watches of today are readily described in this 35 year old text. The 1971 dust jacket has hand drawn lettering. The 2006 dust jacket has been cleaned up by ...

SAS Urban Survival Handbook

The Zen of Zombie: Better Living Through the Undead

Scott Kenemore

Skyhorse Publishing, 2007

Funny -- and wise
This book is meant as a gag, of course, but actually there is some good advice in here! You won't end up eating the brains of your friends and family (I think), but you will learn how to seize the moment, forge a new path, and act on your impulses. So, I guess I'm ...

One of the best I have ever read
I couldn't put the book down and read it almost in one sitting. He is truly inspirational. I met him in person and a "special" spirit just flows from him. Willow is truly adorable and totally devoted to him, it is so obvious. I can't say enough about a truly wonderful ...
