Liberty! The American Revolution brings to life one of the most important and compelling stories in our country's history: the struggle for independence and the birth of the American nation. Historian and novelist Thomas Fleming's gripping narrative captures the high drama of the revolutionary years and the unyielding courage and political genius of the men and women who imagined a new set of political possibilities for mankind - laying the foundation for the identity and character of the American people in the process. The companion volume to the PBS television series of the same name; Liberty! is illustrated with more than 200 full color paintings and photographs; illuminating the revolutionary period as never before. Most important; Liberty! traces the evolution of the ideals that inspired a generation of Americans to struggle against Britain - then the most powerful nation in the world - to establish the free society and democratic system that is so inherently and uniquely American. A remarkable work that surges with human drama; it is a book that every American family will read and treasure for decades to come.

Working Out with Weights....a classic 34 years laterBy BA blacksheepThis is a book designed for the novice teenage weightlifter; but even an old rip like me can learn something from it. Apparently I'm doing it right; most of the exercises I do are right in line with Jarrell's guidelines. I think the remark (written in 1979) that he has "never known a homosexual weightlifter" is funny; I know several; generally young guys who play other sports and train extensively with weights and cardio in the off-season. I myself am a black belt who trains in karate all year round; and lifts weights to increase strength. I am currently trying to get my candy-ass Grandson off his butt and lifting; doing karate; swimming; ANYTHING except sitting in his room with video games. And having a nice body never hurts you chances with the girls......or the boys; if you swing that way.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Michael E JonesExcellent
