Book excerpt: When Alton's ageing, blind uncle asks him to attend bridge games with him, he agrees. After all, it's better than a crappy summer job in the local shopping mall, and Alton's mother thinks it might secure their way to a good inheritance sometime in the future. But, like all apparently casual choices in any of Louis Sachar's wonderful books, this choice soon turns out to be a lot more complex than Alton could ever have imagined. As his relationship with his uncle develops, and he meets the very attractive Toni, deeply buried secrets are uncovered and a romance that spans decades is finally brought to conclusion. Alton's mother is in for a surprise!

Book excerpt: "The Expert Improver follows on from Danny Roth's foundation book, The Expert Beginner. Intermediate learners are introduced to more complicated bridge play and defence, as well as to new techniques and bidding conventions. Using the same radical approach as in the first book, Roth gives exercises to be done against a stop-watch. In each example every card played and bid made is explained and justified, so that the student understands the principle behind what he or she is doing. Anyone who has completed the exercises in both books will be well on their way towards becoming an expert bridge player and a popular partner."--Back cover

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The key to becoming an expert bridge player lies in acquiring a thorough knowledge of the laws and procedures of the game before sitting down to the bridge table. All too often, students are encouraged to start playing before they have grasped even the rudiments of the game, and as a result never achieve 'expert' status. The Expert Beginner offers a completely different approach to learning how to play bridge. Emphasis is placed on developing a sound platform of understanding by working through exercises with a stop-watch, so that the basic principles become second nature."--Back cover.

Book excerpt: "Fresh insights into the nature of exceptional peformance…. A deeply interesting and important book” (New York Times Book Review) that offers a revolutionary and life-changing message on the new science of human potential. Is true greatness obtainable from everyday means and everyday genes? Conventional wisdom says no, that a lucky few are simply born with certain gifts. Now you can forget everything you think you know about genes, talent, and intelligence, and take a look at the amazing new evidence. Here, interweaving cutting-edge research from numerous scientific fields, David Shenk offers a new view of human potential, giving readers more of a sense of ownership over their accomplishments, and freeing parents from the bonds of genetic determinism. As Shenk points out, our genes are not a “blueprint” that dictate individual destinies. Rather we are all the product of interplay between genes and outside stimuli—a dynamic that we can influence. It is a revolutionary and life-changing message.
