The Historical Dictionary of Golfing Terms
No game has a richer array of terms than golf. As new golfing terms have accumulated, old ones have changed or faded away. This concise yet informative dictionary provides definitions and the etymologies for the extraordinary vocabulary of golf, built up over its five-hundred-year history. To discover the origins of golf and its special language, Peter Davies combed little-known archives on two continents. As his unique contribution to the game, Davies?s enthusiasm and enjoyment of golf are stamped on every page of this authoritative book.
Fashion at the Edge
Caroline Evans analyses the work of experimental designers, the images of fashion photographers, and the spectacular fashion shows that developed in the final decade of the twentieth century to arrive at a new understanding of fashion's dark side and what it signifies? Drawing on a variety of literary and theoretical perspectives - from Marx to Benjamin - Evans argues that fashion plays a leading role in constructing images and meanings during periods of rapid change. She shows persuasively that fashion stands at the very centre of the contemporary, where it voices some of Western culture's deepest concerns.

The Big Three and Me
Billy Casper had a higher winning percentage than Arnold Palmer, he won twice as many times on the PGA Tour as Gary Player, and during his career he finished in the top twenty-five more consistently than Jack Nicklaus. And yet, when golf historians write about the legends of the game, with special attention paid to the above-listed "Big Three," his name is often left out of the discussion, or is at best an afterthought. In this fascinating autobiography, Casper tells his life story, shining candid insight into the man who quietly collected fifty-one PGA Tour victories, the seventh highest total in history.
Silence of the Locals
After Michael lost some members of his family, he decided that he would make a new life for himself in Wales. He had not been there very long when he noticed that the villagers ways were strange and rather alien to him. He also soon discovered that the vast majority of village matters were taboo. Strangers to the area; just like him, were constantly observed and told nothing at all. He quickly realised that being ‘a celebrity’ in a small village was very stressful and the locals became very intrusive. What reason did they have for watching him? What were they doing in their spare time? What really puzzled him was why did some of the locals quickly change the subject when he asked about a particular person?
