Bridge is not difficult once you have jumped the first hurdle, but that can seem imposing to anyone who hasn't a clue about Bridge or card games in general. This book strips away the mystery and presents the basics in a wonderfully clear and concise way. It explains everything that is needed to understand the game. In less time than you would imagine you could be playing the wonderfully entertaining game of Bridge with your friends and family. Written in a way that is very easy to follow, this book provides the reader with a very hands on approach to learning the rules and flow of the game. It is a brilliantly simple read and it provides the information a player needs to get started playing.

The American Book Award-winning collection from "The best poet in Indian Country" (Sherman Alexie, New York Times-bestselling author of The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven). Hailed by the Bloomsbury Review as "the nation's foremost contemporary Native American poet" and by Sherman Alexie as "the best poet in Indian Country," Ray Young Bear draws on ancient Meskwaki tradition and modern popular culture to create poems that provoke, astound, and heal. This indispensable volume, which contains three previously published collections-Winter of the Salamander (1979), The Invisible Musician (1990), and The Rock Island Hiking Club (2001)-as well as Manifestation Wolverine, a brilliant series of new pieces inspired by animistic beliefs, a Lazy-Boy recliner, and the word songs Young Bear sang to his children, is a testament to the singularity of the poet's talent and the astonishing range of his voice.
