Another title in the best-selling '25' series, using the same popular format. Over the last fifteen or so years, the 2/1 Game Forcing bidding method has gained substantial popularity, but for various reasons it is not taught in beginner classes. This book is therefore designed for players who are familiar with Standard bidding and are interested in switching to the 2/1 method. It covers basic concepts as well as the differences between 2/1 and Standard auctions, and includes a discussion of more advanced ideas and conventions that fit particularly well with 2/1 methods. Existing books on this topic (notably by Max Hardy and Mike Lawrence) are too advanced and/or too technical for this level of player.

William Thurston's work has had a profound influence on mathematics. He connected whole mathematical subjects in entirely new ways and changed the way mathematicians think about geometry, topology, foliations, group theory, dynamical systems, and the way these areas interact. His emphasis on understanding and imagination in mathematical learning and thinking are integral elements of his distinctive legacy. This four-part collection brings together in one place Thurston's major writings, many of which are appearing in publication for the first time. Volumes I–III contain commentaries by the Editors. Volume IV includes a preface by Steven P. Kerckhoff. Volume III contains William Thurston's papers on dynamics and computer science, and papers written for general audiences. Additional miscellaneous papers are also included, such as his 1967 New College undergraduate thesis, which foreshadows his later work.
We are challenged every day with adversity. We would like to think we are in control of all that transpires in our lives; however, we are not in control, but God is. Faith allows us to discern what God is accomplishing in our lives. Faith gives us confidence to trust in Him. Soul Food reminds us all that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of that which we cannot see. It provides for us a means of expression that brings us hope. Football is one vehicle that provides a competitive environment. It is a tough, hard-nosed sport. As Soul Food expresses, a team must come together regardless of backgrounds, race, money, family structure, and cultural differences. Soul Food addresses relationships on a team, and within a family, which is what a great team should resemble. Soul music expressed passion and concern for all. Love keeps us pursuing the best in those we encounter. As MLK said, "I dream of the day when my children are not judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character!"
