Very Worthwhile Read
"Hitler's Flying Saucers: A Guide to German Flying Discs of the Second World War" is a very worthwhile read. If you don't already know about the reality of the German flying disks you will probably be surprised by the overwhelming amount of data presented in this book documenting these disks. These include actual photos of the people who invented and worked on various flying disks, pictures and diagrams of the disks themselves, official patents, photocopies of actual news articles reporting eye witness sightings of the German disks, declassified government documents confirming the German disks and much more. The book also reports on what it calls "lore" - setting such aside in its own section of the book. In the main, this makes it easy to distinguish the rumor and speculation from the documented facts generally found in the rest of the book. In those cases where speculations are brought into the discussion in sections of the book not under the heading of "lure" they are clearly identified as such.If you've already researched this subject of German disks, as I have, then the book will still prove helpful by separating and categorizing the various disk projects according to who worked on each project, and the design elements and principles involved with each project, to give you a workable overview of the development of the Nazi saucers. You will also find out that the German saucers ended up in the USA along with the Nazi scientists who created them. Shortly after that, "UFO" sightings of "flying saucers" began in the USA. This book was an excellent source of research material for my Tsiyon Radio program, "Flying Saucers a Sign? #238", showing how some flying saucers work, and that they are definitely man-made technology. While the content of the book is excellent I withheld one star because I found the layout and font-face hard to read. I still read it though, which gives added force to the remaining four stars.

Amazing
This is a well written and informative book. Even if only half of it is true it is still astonishing. Easy to read with well presented reasoning. After reading each chapter on a different technology it is easy to forward think and see present technology was built on top of some of this research. very good.

More pieces of the puzzle
Mr. Stevens has written a credible examination that shows German work lead to actual designs. The first concern of Air Material Command at Wright Field was that saucers being seen in the US in 1947 were Russian designs based on German work. In fact, an order was issued to locate the Horten family and another to canvas German aviation scientists about any work that occurred during the war. They denied knowing of such work but referred to the saucer aircraft as "practical and desirable." The Canadian company, A.V. Roe, succeeded in deveoloping a design for a circular craft for the US Air Force. The developer, John Frost, also believed the Germans had built such craft. See Flying Saucer Aircraft by Bill Rose for more details.

While stories of aliens makes for interesting fiction and movies, it is far more sensible to consider man-made craft as a viable alternative. See the March 1956 issue of Mechanix Illustrated. The book about German Weapons and Secret Weapons by Rudolf Lusar should not be dismissed lightly. Some like to point to such books as some sort of self-aggrandizement by the Germans for accomplishments that never were. On the contrary, why publish such information at all if it wasn't true? It would only amount to another reason to ridicule them.

The UFO "Mystery"Solved
I often ask people, "if aliens are coming to Earth, where's the evidence? Where are the bodies? The ships? Why are they landing in the backwoods making crop circles if they are so advanced? Why did they seem to prolifierate right after WWII?"Stevens has the answers in this volume, a companion to his equally informative Hitler's Suppressed and Still-Secret Weapons, Science and Technology. It's no suprise, to rational thinkers, that "UFOs" are government projects. Nor is it a suprise that they promote UFO theories to hide thier projects. This book will depress people waiting for aliens to save them, but students of military and "top secret" history will enjoy it. For more, see Steven's other book and Nick Cook's The Hunt for Zero Point:Inside the Classified World of Antigravity Technology. For more on the fallacy of "aliens" see Lights in the Sky & Little Green Men.

Facts in abundance!
In this book, there are NO leaps of faith, wild theories, unsupported opinions, or mystical crap. This is solid well documented facts. The supporting documents are printed in the book for all to see! Now that this book (and a few others in German); the US, England, and Russia should just go ahead and "open up the real books. This is the Real UFO story, quite real and not so unidentified after all. Secrets never remain secret for long, the time has come to "come clean" and move foward.
Highly Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!!!! ... Read more

Disc Golf
A very interesting and enlightening guide book for a sport that few people are familiar with. The book does a good job of providing orientation about the game and is very instructional as well. Easy and enjoyable reading.

Great for beginners
Great stuff for the amateur. I learned how to throw an Anhyser from this book, which has helped my game immensely. The videos I have watched are not as detailed in the description of method. Plus I can refer back easily with the book. I pack it with me to the coarse.

Read me, please.
O.K.I've written three reviews of this book but withdrawn every one because my reviews are longer than the book (and I'm conscientious, too).In essence, as a dedicated amateur and student of the game, I must advise beginners against this book, if only for one reason:
The driving methods advocated by the author (namely the 180 degree and 360 degree turns) are antiquated and even counter-productive, rather than merely innocuous.The "X-step" or "scissors step" run-ups that are now used by the vast majority of good players are never even mentioned once in this book.To make matters even worse, the author illustates his run-ups by using footprints much as one might see in a dancing class.This important section is just plainly insufficient and out-of-date from start to finish.
For anyone still with me, this book is written by a playwright, director, screenwriter and someone who is an "avid disc golfer".Is that it?Does merely loving a sport entitle you to give instructions to others?I think not.If he had other credentials, I'm sure he would have listed them but he doesn't. (I guess birds gotta' fly and writers gotta' write.)In fairness, some parts of the book aren't bad and even entertaining.However, the out-dated practical information, omissions and inaccuracies are too much to ignore.Folks, I must tell you that good disc golf just ain't easy.A good throw is as tricky to attain as a good tradional golf swing.It will take a lot of practice to get to the proficiency level many of you will want.Therefore, starting with ineffective or incorrect techniques will only force you to unlearn things later on.(The 180 degree turn driving technique is an excellent example.)This is, in essence, a cutesy and folksy little book that won't be of much practical help to a beginner (except in advising you to be polite, take along plenty of water and not be a "Chatty Cathy".Wow!A Chatty Cathy?How about that one.)Finally, and importantly, the drawings are often vague, give no sense of the dynamics involved and sometimes illustrate anatomical impossibilies.
Try the internet (some good video stuff there), go to your local course and join a local club.See, in person, what works and what doesn't. I've found that people are usually very willing to help a beginner get started.(Especially with a little flattery.) Learning disc golf is true hands-on stuff!You have to see it and you have to do it.Reading about it and looking at static drawings just won't make you happy for very long.I promise.
Well ... still a pretty long review but I guess I'll go with it.By all means give this game a try, though.It can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities and can be downright addictive. I promise you that, too.

Great reference guide!
I first bought this book after only throwing five or six times, and man did that help me get a better idea of what I should be working on, and most importantly in what order! This book was a life saver to me as a beginner! Now that i read through it, it's nice to brush though it from time to time just to brush up on things you may be over looking. I've loaned this book to a couple of my friends I throw with, and even though they have been throwing for years, they were still suprised with the tips they were able to pick up from this guide! Also as a newbie, there is a great guide to discs in the back, really outlines the disc selection pretty well, making it easy for me to know what to look for!

great gift for the disc golfer
I got this book for my brother in law who loves to go disc golfing and is fairly new to this sport.My husband and other brother also love to play and when this was given they spent the evening testing out the moves that this book shows.This book is easy to read and gives alot of great description of how to throw each different disc.This book got much praise not only from the brother who received it but also from the other men in the house.My husband now wants one for himself ...

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Disc dog is the more generic name for what is commonly called Frisbee dog. In disc dog competitions, dogs and their human disc throwers compete in events such as distance catching and somewhat choreographed freestyle catching. The sport celebrates the bond between handler and dog, by allowing them to work together. The term "disc" is preferred because "Frisbee" is a trademark (held by Wham-O) for a brand of flying disc. The sport got its start in the early 1970s, paralleling the rise in popularity of Frisbee sport. The definitive moment came on August 5, 1974 when Alex Stein, a 19-year-old college student from Ohio, and his dog, Ashley Whippet, jumped the fence at a nationally broadcast baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds. Stein had with him a couple of flying discs, which he threw for the dog. Ashley astonished the crowd with her disc-catching, as she ran up to 35 miles per hour and leaped 9 feet in the air to snag the Frisbees. The stunt was so novel that the game was stopped and Joe Garagiola continued to announce the flying disc action on the field. Finally, after eight minutes, Stein was escorted off the field and arrested. The nationally televised exhibition of Ashley's skill did much to fuel interest in the sport. Stein worked with Irv Lander and Eldon McIntire to create the Frisbee Dog World Championship for people and their dogs. Even today, Stein and McIntire continue to contribute to the sport. Teams of one person and one dog compete in the standard distance "toss and fetch" event. Points are awarded to the team for catches at varying distances. Competitions also often feature the dynamic freestyle event, which consists of short routines choreograph...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=516571 ... Read more

Product Description
Flying discs (commonly called Frisbees) are disc-shaped objects, which are generally plastic and roughly 20 to 25 centimeters (8-10 inches) in diameter, with a lip. The shape of the disc, an airfoil in cross-section, allows it to fly by generating lift as it moves through the air while rotating. The name Frisbee is a registered trademark of the Wham-O toy company, but is often used generically to describe all flying discs. Flying discs are thrown and caught for recreation, and as part of many different flying disc games. A wide range of flying disc variants are available commercially. Disc golf discs are usually smaller but denser and are tailored for particular flight profiles to increase/decrease stability and distance. Disc dog sports use relatively slow flying discs made of more pliable material to better resist a dog's bite and prevent injury to the dog. Ring shaped discs are also available which typically fly significantly farther than any traditional flying disc. ... Read more

Excerpt:Various bouncy balls. A bouncy ball , power ball or super ball is a popular toy which rebounds proportionally to the amount of force used when thrown at a hard surface. In the United States , they are often sold from bulk vending machines for 25 cents or more. These vending machines can be found in a variety of venues from grocery stores , department stores, strip shops, and malls . Since bouncy balls are often sold alongside candy, there have been instances of customers mistaking them for gumballs and almost choking on them. This has been recognized and addressed by the increase in size of some bouncy balls (some have doubled in size from the originals), yet retaining the same price. They vary from different colors and designs. They are exported from China to the United Kingdom and the United States .

Excerpt:Barbie Barbie is a fashion doll manufactured by the American toy-company Mattel, Inc. and launched in March 1959. American businesswoman Ruth Handler (1916 2002) is credited with the creation of the doll using a German doll called Bild Lilli as her inspiration. Barbie is the figurehead of a brand of Mattel dolls and accessories, including other family members and collectible dolls. Barbie has been an important part of the toy fashion doll market for fifty years, and has been the subject of numerous controversies and lawsuits , often involving parody of the doll and her lifestyle. History The original Barbie was launched in March 1959 Ruth Handler watched her daughter Barbara at play with paper dolls, and noticed that she often enjoyed giving them adult roles. At the time, most children's toy dolls were representations of infants. Realizing that there could be a gap in the market, Handler suggested the idea of an adult-bodied doll to her husband Elliot, a co-founder of the Mattel toy company. He was unenthusiastic about the idea, as were Mattel's directors. During a trip to Europe in 1956 with her children Barbara and Kenneth, Ruth Handler came across German toy doll called Bild Lilli . The adult-figured doll was exactly what Handler had in mind, so she purchased three of them. She gave one to her daughter and took the others back to Mattel. The Lilli doll was based on a popular character appearing in a comic strip drawn by Reinhard Beuthin for the newspaper Die Bild-Zeitung . Lilli was a working girl who knew what she wanted and was not ... ... Read more

Chapters: Flying Disc Techniques. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 41. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Flying discs (including Frisbees) can be thrown in many ways. All involve spinning the disc to give it gyroscopic stability, and accelerating its mass to a certain velocity. Without spin, a disc will wobble and fall; without velocity, the disc will not go anywhere. Using these two guidelines, any number of throws are possible. Most discs are designed to create lift when thrown with the flat side up. Right-side up throws are all similar in that they react the same way to the tilt of the disc when it is released. A disc thrown right-side up will accelerate in the direction of the low end of the disc. A disc tilted leading-edge up will lose speed at the end of the throw and make a gentle landing; if tilted sideways (known in aeronautics terms as roll), it can curve around objects. There is a language for describing throws that curve. Both descriptions are relative to the direction the person is facing and intends to throw. This axis is marked in red in the picture. In disc golf, inside-out throws are referred to as "hyzer" throws and outside-in throws are known as "anhyzer." "Hyzer" is a reference to H. R. "Fling" Hyzer and the etymology can be traced back at least as far as 1975 . "Anhyzer" is a pun and refers to Anheuser-Busch. This is probably the most commonly learned throw, and also one of the most powerful. This throw is also known as the flick, two-finger, or the side-arm. Focused in the wrist, this throw takes little time to execute. Along with the backhand, it is one of the two most common throws used in Ultimate, as it allows throws from the opposite side of the body from the backhand.

Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Frisbee Dog World Championship (also known as the Ashley Whippet Invitational World Championship and the Canine Frisbee Disc World Championship) is an annual competition for disc dogs. In 1975, Irv Lander, Alex Stein and Eldon McIntire first organized a World Championship for flying-disc (Frisbee) catching dogs and their handlers. The event continued annually. Stein and his disc dog, Ashley Whippet, won the first three championships in 1975, 1976 and 1977. McIntire was the owner of another disc dog named Hyper Hank. Lander worked for Wham-O, the maker of the Frisbee, which is a registered trademark of Wham-O. He was a promoter of the Junior Frisbee Disc Championships, an event for humans. In the early years the championship took place alongside the "human" Frisbee championships, sponsored by Wham-o, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Eventually, it turned into a contest series and, in the early 1980s, was named the Ashley Whippet Invitational (AWI). The competition series included local and regional events where dog and handler pairs would qualify for the Ashley Whippet Invitational World Finals Championship. Until the mid-1990s there was only one organization for disc dog competitions. For many years the AWI World Finals was the only championship event. The final event was contested as a one day, "winner take all" type event. The early qualifying format included 4 to 6 regionals with the 1st and 2nd place teams each earning a trip to the World Finals Championship. It was a closed regional system, meaning that the dog and handler team had to live and compete i...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4184682 ... Read more
