    In The Greatest U.S. Opens, veteran golf journalist and author David Barrett brings readers inside the ropes at the most dramatic tournaments since the Open's inception in 1895. Renowned as the most challenging of the major championships, the U.S. Open has showcased the country's greatest golf courses, including Pebble Beach, Oakmont, Merion and Shinnecock Hills. And, with notoriously long "Open rough" and super-fast greens, the U.S Open is typically the toughest challenge of the year, providing a forum for the greats of the game to test their mettle and prove their stature by winning multiple times--including Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods. The extreme difficulty of a U.S. Open course has also yielded the occasional and unlikely upset, including Francis Oiumet's 1913 thrilling victory over English greats Harry Vardon and Ted Ray or Jack Fleck stealing a shocking win from Hogan in 1955. Barrett also captures the tournament's many classic moments including Arnold Palmer's heroic charge in 1960, Tom Watson's chip-in to take down Nicklaus at Pebble Beach in 1982, and Payne Stewart's putt to clinch a victory at Pinehurst in 1999 just months before his tragic death.

    Modernity is under constant siege due to our meager understanding of both money and currency. Progress requires reason-and with it order, balance, invention, and labor. Instead, the world pursues progress for self-gratification and with it self-destruction. In Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Money, author David Barrett pulls from his vast economic expertise to trace the development of currency and money from Rome to the present. Pinpointing the critical decisions that gave rise to and shaped modernity, this remarkable book will alter popular perceptions of money, currency, and political economy by revealing humankind's inadequacies-as well as its brilliance. This unique resource examines the fall of Rome, the French and American Revolutions, World War I, the Great Depression, the Marshall Plan, and much more to better understand the critical role currency and money have played for the last two thousand years. The influence of key players such as Caesar Augustus, Henry VIII, Isaac Newton, Jefferson, Jackson, JP Morgan, FDR, Churchill, Reagan, and a host of others is also on full display to show that humankind's determined efforts to satisfy its cravings have produced a widespread desire to acquire and consume rather than to construct and produce.

    What is it like to spend nearly every day for a year trying to observe as many bird species as possible within the confines of Manhattan? In 2012 I did just that-it's called having a "big year"-and I was not the only one. In this book I tell how I learned to bird and how I went on to become a competitive birder. Then I give a detailed account of my 2012 battle with one of the nation's best, ornithologist Andrew Farnsworth, and others to have the biggest of big Manhattan years. You may be surprised that each year over 200 species of birds reside in or migrate through Manhattan. Observing and accurately identifying them poses many challenges. You need to know what they look like, what they sound like, and where and when they are likely to appear. Birding can be a leisurely walk in the park, or it can be something much more demanding. Manhattan is home to a number of talented and obsessive birders for whom birding is a test of brains, logistics, and physical stamina, requiring both an understanding of nature and a knack for technology. Those new to birding will learn along with me as I begin by exploring one of the world's premier birding locations, the Central Park Ramble. As my own knowledge and experience grow, I introduce the reader to a series of beautiful and rare birds to be found not only in Central Park but also in the many excellent but less well-known parks of Manhattan. Journey with me from the waters of New York Harbor, where Red-breasted Mergansers and Buffleheads swim, to the top of Inwood Hill Park, where Black Vultures and Great Horned Owls fly.
