In the booming game of golf, says Tour Pro Roger Maltbie, practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. Attacking a common complaint, this book shows golfers at all levels how to get their swings from the practice range to the golf course. And this book is for "range rats, " that enormous subculture of golfers who hang out on the practice ranges of America, people who leave the impression they would just as soon hit practice balls all day as play a round of golf. Range rats "learn' the game by experimenting and by sharing ideas with fellow golfers addicted to hours and hours on the public and private ranges of America. (In Japan the driving range is practically a way of life.) This unique golf book offers detailed charts, along with important practice.range tips, so that players at any level may keep records of every round over a reasonable period, thereby monitoring bad habits and negative tendencies the golfer can now easily spot and correct on the range. The appeal of this book is that it will deal strictly with practicing and practice-range matters -- untapped territory with enormous potential. This book does not deal with intricate swing tips or difficult golf theories. It deals with practicing only, and docs so in a lively, anecdotal way. Maltbie also gives us inside information on how big-name Tour pros practice. He offers specifics on how amateurs can adapt and actually improve their games -- by practicing the right way and the right things. The idea of this book is to lower scores by helping golfers to find out exactly what is wrong, then practicing to fix the problems. It works!

Australia’s native rodents are the most ecologically diverse family of Australian mammals. There are about 60 living species – all within the subfamily Murinae – representing around 25 per cent of all species of Australian mammals. They range in size from the very small delicate mouse to the highly specialised, arid-adapted hopping mouse, the large tree rat and the carnivorous water rat. Native Mice and Rats describes the evolution and ecology of this much-neglected group of animals. It details the diversity of their reproductive biology, their dietary adaptations and social behaviour. The book also includes information on rodent parasites and diseases, and concludes by outlining the changes in distribution of the various species since the arrival of Europeans as well as current conservation programs.

For six months in 1942, Stalingrad is the center of a titanic struggle between the Russian and German armies—the bloodiest campaign in mankind's long history of warfare. The outcome is pivotal. If Hitler's forces are not stopped, Russia will fall. And with it, the world.... German soldiers call the battle Rattenkrieg, War of the Rats. The combat is horrific, as soldiers die in the smoking cellars and trenches of a ruined city. Through this twisted carnage stalk two men—one Russian, one German—each the top sniper in his respective army. These two marksmen are equally matched in both skill and tenacity. Each man has his own mission: to find his counterpart—and kill him. But an American woman trapped in Russia complicates this extraordinary duel. Joining the Russian sniper's cadre, she soon becomes one of his most talented assassins—and perhaps his greatest weakness. Based on a true story, this is the harrowing tale of two adversaries enmeshed in their own private war—and whose fortunes will help decide the fate of the world.
