Experience the thrill, twenty-five years later, of Steve Scott's
epic finals match against Tiger Woods in the 1996 United States
Amateur Championship! In August of '96, Steve Scott went head to
head against Tiger Woods at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in the finals
of the US Amateur Championship. Five thousand three hundred
forty-five players whittled down to two. Scott found himself a
surprising 5-up after the first 18, but at hole 35 Tiger squared
the grueling match with an improbable 40-foot birdie putt. With the
result coming down to the last hole, the difference in the outcome
actually came earlier, when Scott reminded Woods to move his mark
back to its rightful place on hole 34. Had Scott not done the
morally correct thing, Tiger would have been penalized and, in
turn, not have won three straight U.S. Amateur Championships
(something not even the great Jack Nicklaus or legendary Bobby
Jones had done), forever changing the course of Tiger's career and
golf history. In Hey, Tiger-You Need to Move Your Mark Back, Scott
teams up with esteemed storyteller Tripp Bowden to explain,
twenty-five years later, what led to that life-changing moment and
to describe, in his own words, the exhilaration of that '96 U. S.
Amateur Championship and how it ultimately changed golf history and
the two competitors' lives. Forever. Hey Tiger-You Need to Move
Your Mark Back is a story for the ages for golf fans looking for an
unlikely new perspective on the greatest game in the world.

Dad believed people were like money. You could be a thousand-dollar person or a hundred-dollar person'even a ten-, five-, or one-dollar person. Below that, everybody was just nickels and dimes. To my dad, we were pennies. Fourteen-year-old Manny Hernandez wants to be more than just a penny. He wants to be a vato firme, the kind of guy people respect. But that's not easy when your father is abusive, your brother can't hold a job, and your mother scrubs the house as if she can was the trouble away. In Manny's neighborhood, the way to get respect is to be in a gang. But Manny's not sure that joining a gang is the solution. Because, after all, it's his life'and he wants to be the one to decide what happens to it. Winner of the 1996 National Book Award for Young People's Literature, Parrot in the Oven: mi vida is a fresh, original, and powerfully written account of one boy's coming-of-age in a difficult time. For Manuel Hernandez, the year leading up to his test of courage, his initiation into a gang, is a time filled with the pain and tension, awkwardness and excitement of growing up in a mixed-up, crazy world. Manny’s dad is always calling him el perico, or parrot. It’s from a Mexican saying about a parrot that complains how hot it is in the shade while all along he’s sitting inside the oven and doesn’t know it. But Manny wants to be smarter than the parrot in the oven—he wants to find out what it means to be a vato firme, a guy to respect. From an exciting new voice in Chicano literature, this is a beautifully written, vivid portrait of one Mexican-American boy’s life. 1998 Pura Belpre Author Award 1996 Americas Award for Children’s and Young Adult Literature 1997 Books for the Teen Age (NY Public Library) 1996 National Book Award for Young People’s Literature

Map Detailing Ancient Olmec and Maya States that Rimmed the Gulf of
Mexico It seems that the human race has an abiding tendency to know
what surrounds our often routine, mundane lives. There is an even
greater tendency to involve ourselves in perceived mystery,
particularly when it involves prophecy and doomsday scenarios. The
astronomical Alignment on December 21, 2012 is just such an event
that encompasses all the elements of a great mystery, including
doomsday prophecy and more. The book chronicles what a group of
noted scientists say we can expect to happen, as the sun and earth
align with the center of our own galaxy. The reader is cautioned to
hold on tight, and be mentally prepared for mind-bending surprises,
as a cabal of our best scientific minds slug it out over the
portent of the Alignment during a symposium at the Institute for
Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ.
Have you ever wondered why some meals make you feel energized and
alert, while others have the opposite effect? Maybe you've noticed
that certain people thrive on eating lots of meat and fat, while
others do best on a low-fat vegetarian diet. Cutting-edge
scientific studies show that people burn different amounts of
protein, carbohydrates, and fat. The Four Seasons Diet will teach
you the right way to eat for your season-type. Winter season-type:
The classic "meat eater." Burns large amounts of fat, both at rest
and during exercise. Thrives on a high-protein, higher-fat,
lower-carb diet. Suffers from hypoglycemia if too many carbs are
eaten. Tends to get fat from overeating carbs. Autumn season-type:
Similar to the Winter season-type but burns less fat and more carbs
for energy. Summer season-type: The classic "vegetarian." Burns
large amounts of carbs, both at rest and during exercise. Thrives
on a high-carb, low-fat, lower-protein diet. Suffers from low
energy if too much fat is eaten. Tends to get fat from overeating
fats. Spring season-type: Similar to the Summer season-type but
burns more fat and fewer carbs for energy. When you eat protein,
fat, and carbs in the same ratio that your body burns for energy,
amazing things can happen You will: Be less hungry as you decrease
your "hunger hormones" and boost your "feel-full hormones." Feel
more energetic when you feed your body the fuel it prefers. Have
greater mental clarity as your blood sugar stabilizes. Lose weight
effortlessly when you eat foods you "burn," rather than foods you
"store." Steven Capeder is an advocate for natural harmonious
living, which includes being at peace with your body by eating
natural foods that are most compatible with your unique
constitution. Citing more than 400 medical studies and examining
the latest research about fat-burning muscles vs. sugar-burning
muscles, Steven has unraveled many of the mysteries behind ancient
Ayurvedic medicine and the theories of Dr. George Watson. In the
process, he created four unique diets, one of which is ideal for
your body type.
In Crying for a Vision, British-born poet, musician and performance
artist Steve Scott offers a challenge to artists and a manifesto
for the arts. This new edition includes an introduction and study
guide, four newly-collected essays and an interview with the
author. Steve Scott is the author of Like a House on Fire: Renewal
of the Arts in a Post-modern Culture and The Boundaries. "Steve
Scott is a rare individual who combines a deep love and
understanding of Scripture with a passion for the arts." -Steve
Turner, author of Jack Kerouac: Angelheaded Hipster. "Steve Scott
links a number of fields of inquiry that are usually perceived as
unrelated. In doing so he hopes to open wider possibilities for
Christians in the arts, who may perhaps be relieved to find that,
in many ways, they were right all along." -Rupert Loydell, author
of The Museum of Light. Cover art by Michael Redmond
Twelve-Furlong Mile and Other Works of Short Fiction is a varied
and unique collection of ten stories built upon likable,
easy-to-relate-to characters that stray from their comfortable,
everyday surroundings and find themselves in situations filled with
humor, romance, and conflict. In the short story Twelve-Furlong
Mile, two young men take their annual trip to Las Vegas, eager to
escape the rigors of their daily lives. The End of Latency and
Summer Trade are science fiction tales, refreshing in their
approach to the genre. Ken and the Princess and Friendly Wager are
about the pursuit of true love--obtainable--but always at a price.
The Adventures of Dan Wetmeyerbent is a story about the trials of
an eighth-grader assigned to write a column for his school
newspaper. Perhaps the most touching story, The Wingman, brings a
whole new perspective to the fabled, trusty sidekick designation
for one man at an out-of-town work seminar. The stories--and their
surprise endings--are a reflection of the author Steve Scott's
appreciation for the original television show, The Twilight Zone.
The twisting plot lines, while always believable, will, at the same
time, bowl you over.
