The Authentic Swing
Author: Steven Pressfield
Publisher: Black Irish Entertainment LLC
ISBN: 1936891077
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
The Story Behind THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE If you've read his books THE WAR OF ART and TURNING PRO, you know that for thirty years Steven Pressfield (GATES OF FIRE, THE AFGHAN CAMPAIGN etc.) wrote spec novel after spec novel before any publisher took him seriously. How did he finally break through? Ignoring just about every rule of commercial book publishing, Pressfield's "first" novel not only became a major bestseller (over 250,000 copies sold), it was adapted into a feature film directed by Robert Redford and starring Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron. Where did he get the idea? What magical something did THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE have that his previous manuscripts lacked? Why did Pressfield decide to write a novel when he already had a well established screenwriting career? How does writing a publishable novel really work? Taking a page from John Steinbeck's classic JOURNAL OF A NOVEL, Steven Pressfield offers answers for these and scores of other practical writing questions in THE AUTHENTIC SWING.

The Real Analysis Lifesaver
Author: Raffi Grinberg
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691172935
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
The essential "lifesaver" that every student of real analysis needs Real analysis is difficult. For most students, in addition to learning new material about real numbers, topology, and sequences, they are also learning to read and write rigorous proofs for the first time. The Real Analysis Lifesaver is an innovative guide that helps students through their first real analysis course while giving them the solid foundation they need for further study in proof-based math. Rather than presenting polished proofs with no explanation of how they were devised, The Real Analysis Lifesaver takes a two-step approach, first showing students how to work backwards to solve the crux of the problem, then showing them how to write it up formally. It takes the time to provide plenty of examples as well as guided "fill in the blanks" exercises to solidify understanding. Newcomers to real analysis can feel like they are drowning in new symbols, concepts, and an entirely new way of thinking about math. Inspired by the popular Calculus Lifesaver, this book is refreshingly straightforward and full of clear explanations, pictures, and humor. It is the lifesaver that every drowning student needs. The essential “lifesaver” companion for any course in real analysis Clear, humorous, and easy-to-read style Teaches students not just what the proofs are, but how to do them—in more than 40 worked-out examples Every new definition is accompanied by examples and important clarifications Features more than 20 “fill in the blanks” exercises to help internalize proof techniques Tried and tested in the classroom

Godhead
Author: J. Austin Tomlinson
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781533645944
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Godhead is a story of Self-Realization. Learn how a Catholic kid abandoned religion and God altogether in search of the authentic truth of life and science, and thereafter discovered the reality of God, and the transformation otherwise known as "spiritual enlightenment," and why he believes you can do it too. The story follows Austin's journey in search of the scientific answers to life after the death of three friends and the emergence into Godlessness; spending a month in the Oregon wilderness, six months across the planet on "the Magic Island" of Brazil, and a year into the world of lucid dreaming, he ultimately rediscovers God, the reality of eternal life, and the ancient science of meditation. "Among other happenings in my life, reading Godhead has become a catalyst for deeper dedication to meditation. I think that anyone who's ready to read it in its entirety would have a similar reaction. I say this not as praise, but to give perspective on how powerful it really is, truly." Ashley Monical
