This may be the most unusual golf book ever written. At one of a
series of clinics that former USPGA teacher of the year Craig
Shankland staged, he asked Moe Norman in front of about 300 people,
âWhatâs it like to hit perfect shots, Moe?â Moe paused and
looked at the audience. Then, in jest, said, âYou will
never know.â Mind Golf assembles and ignites the mental
energy of the image of the shot-to-be. Moe âPipeline
Moeâ Norman was a Canadian professional golfer and the best
ball-striker the world has ever known. Author Bob Young met the
eccentric golfer and traveled between Canada and Florida from the
early 1960s to 2004, where he was able to observe Pipeline Moe for
decades. Mind Golf is about life and golf and the
metaphysical connection between Normanâs mechanics and Youngâs
perception of the mental construct of ball striking. The core
of Mind Golf recounts the trail to Youngâs discovery,
which will help you discover it too.

One of the most perceptive descriptions of Manchester City's play
during their glory years was made by "Manchester Evening News"
reporter Peter Gardner who said that 'When Youngy plays, City
play'. For all the talk in the intervening years of greats such as
Summerbee, Bell and Lee, it was the local lad made good who made
most impact when it mattered. A tall, leggy striker with a venomous
left-foot shot, Young scored in every significant game for City in
the late 60s. Scorer of two goals in the 1968 Championship win up
at Newcastle, the scorer of the 1969 FA Cup Final winner and the
first goal in the 1970 Cup Winners' Cup final, Neil Young played as
significant a role in the success and style of the Mercer-Allison
partnership as anyone. Yet by 1972 he was allowed to leave the club
as City began their now familiar relationship with underachievement
and mismanagement. In "Catch a Falling Star", Neil Young explains
what he has been up to in the years since his sizzling shots stung
the hands of the country's finest goalkeepers. Here he frankly
discusses the problem that faced footballers of the pre-Premiership
era: 'When I left Rochdale for the last time one Friday afternoon I
had a week's wages...about GBP60. I drove home and sat in my lounge
for about two hours, wondering what the hell I was going to do. I
had a car on HP, a mortgage, a wife and three children to feed. I
was the provider who could no longer provide. I had no savings
whatsoever and my wife didn't work. I didn't see it coming. It was
a calamity waiting to happen'. Thus starts Neil's decline into
illness and depression. During the next painful decade Neil
suffered numerous illnesses, lost his family, his mother and
survived a suicide attempt. Thankfully, he has emerged with his
spirit intact thanks largely to the love of his third wife, Carmen.
"Catch a Falling Star" is the moving tale of a how a star on the
wane managed to mount a personal comeback as impressive as any
achieved on the pitch by City's star-studded squad of the late 60s.

Waging Heavy Peace is the remarkable memoir of rock icon Neil Young
Neil Young is a singular figure in the history of rock and pop
culture in the last four decades, inducted not once but twice into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Reflective, insightful and
disarmingly honest, Waging Heavy Peace is his long-awaited memoir.
From his youth in Canada to his crazy journey out to California,
through Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills & Nash, to his
massively successful solo career and his re-emergence as the patron
saint of grunge on to his role today as one of the last
uncompromised and uncompromising survivors of rock 'n' roll - this
is Neil's story told in his own words. Young presents a
kaleidoscopic view of personal life and musical creativity; it's a
journey that spans the snows of Ontario to the LSD-laden boulevards
of 1966 Los Angeles to the contemplative paradise of Hawaii today.
Along the way he writes about the music, the victims, the girls and
the drugs; about his happy family life but also about the health
problems he and his children have experienced; about guitars, cars
and sound systems; about Canada and California and Hawaii. Candid,
witty and revealing, this book takes its place beside the classic
memoirs of Bob Dylan and Keith Richards. 'Wryly funny, deeply
moving, painfully honest' Guardian 'He's talking to you, not at
you, unravelling himself as well, and you don't want it to end . .
. You see rock and roll history from the inside out, and in the
present tense' Independent 'Young appears bounteous and joyful, a
genuinely happy hippy . . . Unusually for a rock memoir, this one
is almost completely angst-free' Sunday Times 'Dryly hilarious . .
. poignant . . . Waging Heavy Peace shows that Young is still in
full possession of that stubborn, brilliant, one-of-a-kind
instrument' Rolling Stone 'A real treat . . . he writes openly and
movingly abut the key figures in his life...you feel you know Young
better for reading it' Metro

tanka and villanelle, along with other poetic forms. The language
is rich and concise, a contrast of light and shade, the ancient and
modern.
