This Los Angeles Times bestseller takes a riveting look at the life and times of depression-era golf legend Bobby Jones. In the wake of the stock market crash and the dawn of the Great Depression, a ray of light emerged from the world of sports in the summer of 1930. Bobby Jones, a 28-year-old amateur golfer, mounted a campaign against the record books. In four months, he conquered the British Amateur Championship, the British Open, the United States Open, and finally the United States Amateur Championship, an achievement so extraordinary that writers dubbed it the Grand Slam. No one has ever repeated it. Mark Frost uses a wealth of original research to provide an unprecedented intimate portrait of golf great Bobby Jones. In the tradition of The Greatest Game Ever Played, The Grand Slam blends social history with sports biography, captivating the imagination and engaging the reader. The Grand Slam is a biography not to be missed.

Super Slam!: Adventures with North American Big Game is Chuck Adams's first book retracing his epic journey to take all 28 North American big game species with a bow. Chuck relives those incredible hunts - all in one book - one that no serious bowhunter will want to be without it. Imagine staring at a snarling 9' polar bear at 15 steps with nothing but a bow in your icy hand and no backup firepower. Imagine a raw, raining, 15-day hunt for Alaska brown bears and placing a tiny sight pin on a 1,400-pound monster. Imagine trekking for the Grand Slam of wild sheep; muskox 50 miles from the North Pole; and a world record elk in the Montana mountains. The writing is vintage Chuck Adams - spine tingling, extreme bowhunting adventure with practical, proven bowhunting knowledge woven throughout.
