Book Description
"Jim Hardy is the most knowledgeable teacher in golf. This extraordinary book will be the most revolutionary instructional book since Ben Hogan's Five Lessons."
--Peter Jacobsen, Seven-time PGA Tour event winner
Voted one of "America's 50 Greatest Teachers" by Golf Digest and ranked in the "Top 100 Teachers" list of Golf magazine, Jim Hardy is a veritable scholar of swing. He's been fixing the swings of professional and amateur golfers since 1977, and in The Plane Truth for Golfers, he makes his groundbreaking concepts available to you for the first time.
Hardy's revolutionary approach is simple: There are two sets of fundamentals to the swing, not one. There is the one-plane swing, for more athletic players, and the two-plane swing, suitable for players of all abilities. Understanding these concepts is crucial to your improvement, and Hardy breaks them down into easy-to-follow steps, complete with dozens of photographs.

Good compliment to Hogans 5 fundamentals.......2007-07-25
I must admit that as I read this book I began to realize that Ben Hogan was only 90 percent correct. As a 50 year old golfer with a life time of bad techniques there was no way I could swing the club like a person in great shape who is flexible and doesn't have so many bad habits. I have always used a 2 plane swing and didn't realize it until now. I'm glad I bought this book together with Ben Hogan's book because it allows me to make the slight adjustments to my grip and stance that will provide me with the final answer to a consistent golf swing.
Complements the DVD.......2007-06-02
Jim Hardy teaches both the one and the two plane swings, but has a bias for the one plane. The eye opener to me was the distinct difference between the two, and the realization that I had, on my own and through lessons, incorporated some features of both into my swing. That is fatal for most swings, and it was for mine. After vacillating between the two for several weeks, I decided to go with the one plane. Hardy makes it clear that either swing is fine, discusses how to decide which is best for you, instructs in both, and gives drills for both. It really helps to have a pro help with either swing, but make sure you have a pro who fully understands and can teach the plane that you want. (You will learn enough from the book to evaluate your pro). The DVD set is a little wordy, but as a visual person, I find it more useful than the book.
Innovative Concept.......2007-05-04
The concept of different swing planes is a breakthrough for instruction on the golf swing. Jim Hardy is a very reputable golf instructor. I found the DVD set to be very professionally done, but to contain too much explanation. While there are a number of examples and demonstrations of the principles that are presented, after more than 30 minutes of viewing, I found it very difficult to remain attentive to Jim's talkative teaching style. My 2-star rating applies more to the method of presentation than to these remarkable concepts. Other more skilled golfers than I have told me that they LOVE the DVD series. I suspect that experienced, skilled students of this very demanding sport will too. As for me, a high handicapper who has been playing regularly for less than a year, I found it to be "too much".
It is the Plane Truth.......2007-04-07
I believe that Jim Hardy is deinately on to something here. I always struggled with golf instruction - some tips worked like a charm while others didn't seem like they belonged at all. Now I know why - I am a one planer and alot of insruction is based around the two plane swing. I now recognize the differences and can concentrate only on things that will "fit" my swing type. My improvement is progressing very nicely now. With all the conflicting instruction out there - you owe it to yourself to read this book or get the DVD's and get working on the right swing for you.
This is a must for any serious golfer........2007-03-22
This book explains the difference in the 2 and 1 plane swing. It lets you know that you cannot throw any golf swing tip into your swing. You need to know what type of swing you are learning so you can identify what you need to work on and how to work on it. The only draw back is the 2 plane swing is an old school 2 lane swing. Meaning that the small muscles(arms and hands) are used. There are 2 plane swings that involve more big muscles in todays time and age.
Book Description
Improve your swing with the teacher the pros trust:
"(Jim Hardy) was the one person who really had the greatest influence on me in terms of my teaching. Jim had such an incredible mind for the game of golf."
--From The Only Golf Lesson You'll Ever Need by Hank Haney, Tiger Woods' golf coach
"Jim Hardy is the most knowledgeable teacher in golf. No other instructor has his understanding of golf swing techniques and what makes them work.”
--Peter Jacobsen, Champions Tour player and winner of seven PGA Tour championships
If your shots are off target and your swing needs improving, you simply won't find a better fix than the powerful breakthrough techniques of Jim Hardy. Jim's smash bestseller, The Plane Truth for Golfers, introduced the revolutionary one-plane and two-plane swings to golfers and teaching pros around the world. It changed how players think about golf and how the game is taught.
In this exciting master class follow-up, he takes your swing to the next level, giving you in-depth instruction in how to execute both of these swings perfectly for on-target shots every time.
Jim shows you how to:
- Assume the proper stance and posture for each style
- Position and move your hips, shoulders, and torso correctly
- "Feel" the difference when you correct the faults in your swing
- Gain proficiency in your swing with detailed drills for both styles
He begins by giving you a review of the basics, outlining the one-plane and two-plane swings as he emphasizes his most crucial lesson: “All swings are either one- or two-plane actions, and to become good at golf you must work towards being a fundamental purist, only learning and employing those elements relative to your swing type.” With Jim's guidance, you'll first determine which swing type is right for you, then master your specialized swing. It's a powerful feeling when your body and arms are moving in total coordination with the club, and it can only happen once you master the art of the swing.

An excellent follow up to the first book!.......2007-09-15
I have found Master Class to be an excellent follow up to the first book, The Plane Truth for Golfers. The first book lays the foundation for the two different types of golf swings, and Master Class takes you farther into the "how to's" of performing each swing. There are many more pictures in this second book demonstrating the necessary positions, and much information on the various faults for each swing and drills for how to correct them. Those that say that this book is repetitive information from the first book obviously have not read both books in detail. If you go to get a golf lesson, you don't get all of the information in the first or second lesson. That's the beauty of Mr. Hardy's teachings. He gives it to you in the proper sequence for learning it. His DVD's are excellent additions to the book that offer much more for the visual learner and also give you a glimpse into the genuine character of Mr. Hardy. There is no need for me to read any other instruction and my golf game is improving. So will yours.
The Plane Truth for Golfers Master Class.......2007-08-09
Excellent product and follow up to the original book by Jim Hardy. Well written, and gives good guides for some specific problems that players can encounter. A lot more drills than in the first book as well.
It does get more technical and slightly more complex to assimilate. Some of the things described are hard to visualize, and seem to moderately contradict some of the teachings in the first book, particularly in the use of the arms in the down swing.
Good To Know.......2007-06-01
I think it is a stretch to call this book the best one ever written on the full swing. That is too much of a blanket statement and the fact is that each golfer finds their own path to golf "enlightenment". I didn't find this book to be that much different from the Plane Truth for Golfers.
What has made me understand the difference between each swing is that there is a "Classic" swing and then there is the "Modern" swing. The classic swing is characterized by that Reverse C position caused by tilting. The modern swing is characterized by stable legs and more of a rotation of the body.
Very Nice Follow Up to Plane Truth for Golfers.......2007-05-31
I have the original Plane Truth and the DVD series. The Plane Truth Masters Class is an excellent follow up to these. I especially like the new and additional drills for each type of swing. In this book, Hardy breaks down the two swings in their own sections in the book with drill chapters that correspond to that swing type. This makes it easier for those who already know which swing type they are-
The Plane Truth for Golfers Master Class .......2007-05-21
Decent job of explaining the one and two plane swings. If you have read the first plane truth book, you really do not need to get this one. Some additional depth to the explanations, but not worth spending the additional money. If you are debating between the two books, get the first one.
Book Description
Visit New Dimensions
The most powerful adventurers know that great rewards--and great perils--await them beyond the world they call home. From the depths of Hell to the heights of Mount Celestia, from the clockwork world of Mechanus to the swirling chaos of Limbo, these strange and terrifying dimensions provide new challenges to adventurers who travel there. Manual of the Planes is your guidebook on a tour of the multiverse.
This supplement for the
D&D game provides everything you need to know before you visit other planes of existence. Included are new prestige classes, spells, monsters, and magic items. Along with descriptions of dozens of new dimensions, Manual of the Planes includes rules for creating your own planes.
To use this supplement, a Dungeon Master also needs the Player's Handbook, the
Dungeon Master's Guide, and the Monster Manual. A player needs only the Player's Handbook.

The Planes are a Source of Great Mystery - Use it!.......2007-08-07
As a DM in an ongoing campaign, I need all the help I can get. I get 5-6 different supplements a year. Partially to find new challenges and partially to keep abreast of what's happening out there in Gamer Publishing. I really liked this Planer Handbook (3.0) and I never felt the need to upgreade. It has all the info on all the inner and outer planes, atmosphere, who lives there, how to get there etc etc. I'm not sure what the difference is between the 3.0 version and the 3.5 version, but it can't be much. I say stick with this one.
Manual of the Planes (of GREYHAWK)...be advised!.......2006-03-11
If you will excuse a brief rant before I begin--why oh why do the game designers nowadays believe I will be mad if they tell me what their own setting is like? Do they think I don't have enough brains to change or tweak something if I don't like it? Everyone seems so bent on not interfering with my GM given right to be the lord of my own games that the companies are terrified to actually give a straight answer as to what their products are actually about.
That said, let me tell you what this book IS (cause the WotC guys NEVER will). This book is the cosmology for the roleplaying setting of Greyhawk. Forgotten Realms has its own cosmology. Dragonlance has its own cosmology. Eberron has its own cosmology. Each setting since third edition came out has its own planes, gods, and everything. If you're looking for one overarching cosmology for every D&D game, there ain't no such animal. Not anymore. Once you get your head around that you will have a lot less headaches and start liking this book a lot more.
Why the switch? There's a couple of good reasons for this. First, toward the end of 2nd edition it was hard to play in a game setting without running into characters who were transplants from some other world, bouncing around either through planeshifting magic, or a spelljamming ship, or a planescaping door from Sigil, or some kind of natural portal. It was far to easy to hop from setting to setting and all the crossovers started to take their toll on the integrity and mood of each campaign world. Second, in the last edition the vast number of gods from every different D&D world (including all the gods from real world mythology) had to be shoehorned into just over a dozen divine planes. Some of the choices made little sense, and all of the planes just got too crowded! Third, there was a lot of fiction produced for the various game lines, and a lot of the authors (Weis & Hickman of Dragonlance and R.A. Salvatore of the Forgotten Realms in particular) loved to add their own little bells and whistles to the planes in the novels. They would talk about planes that didn't exist in the canon setting, or would create unique mechanics for how the planes functioned in their books that didn't mesh very well with what was set up in the books. Now with the cosmologies separated, the characters in a game are likely to be from the same setting, the gods in each setting have plenty of elbow room, sharing their realms with at most half a dozen fellow gods, and the backlog of cosmological oddities due to narrative licence on the part of various authors can be divvied up effectively to each respective setting.
So understanding that, how good is the book? Well the art is fabulous full color stuff by some of the best artists in the business. The descriptions of each plane are more than lavish, with individual locales set up within each plane that spark the imagination and get one wanting to dive in and play. Acheron is particularly cool: an eternal battleground covering the faces of infinite numbers of scrapmetal cubes drifting in a black void lit only by the bonfires of various war camps on distant cubes. Often the great masses will slam into one another, spinning again off into space, crushing flat entire armies. Wow!
Unfortunately some of the graphs and explainations of how planes interconnect are pretty confusing, thick stuff. After a while all the coterminous/coexistant/transitive/subjective planes start to run together and the overlapping circle graphs surrounded by large bronze calipers and thick magnifying glasses don't help too much. There are also some features of the cosmology that bend the perceptions a little--like the fact that there are rivers and other geographical features that run from one layer of a plane to another, and even flow onto other planes, often even when the planes are suspended floating in void with no physical connection between them, or sometimes you have mention of infinite planes like Bytopia, that are flat rolling grasslands in the middle and gradually more mountainous until you get toward the edges where the mountains are impossibly tall and craggy (but then it's an infinite plane, right? So how are there "edges" to an infinite plane? Argh. Head...hurts)
The extra races and monster races are awesome. It is particularly great to see GOOD art of githzerai and githyanki (mind you it's not just good, it's sweet!) and the templates are useful. The rules for making your own cosmologies seem a bit weak and appologetic unfortunately--because this is a place where the book could really shine. Likewise the ideas for the Prestige Classes are wonderful, but the actual abilities of each class are fairly lackluster. The special planar spells just struck me as unnecessary and not very thrilling. Where they might have included a section detailing the cosmologies of their other published settings (Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance...Eberron wasn't out yet) which would have quadrupled the value of a book like this, they instead included some "example" alternate cosmologies. Some are very very cool--like the Far Realm and the Great Tree, but most seem like only partly developed afterthoughts. Interestingly the "alternate" cosmologies presented here which are said to be only examples with no tie to the D&D standard cosmology--end up in the Epic Level Handbook with races attributed to them and tied into the Greyhawk history. Wierd.
So final word. I think the book is great and I love having it in my collection. I think it's use is limited greatly by the fact that it only covers the Greyhawk setting, which is unfortunate in the extreme. Moreso I find the whole philosophy of not wanting to challenge the authority of DM's by making any decisions as far as their products go to be infuriating and frustrating. Nonetheless the ideas in this book are first rate and wonderfully laid out. I just wish the guys who write these books could decide what their settings are like and then have the guts to stick to it!
Why?.......2005-10-13
I've never understood DnD's reasoning (in any of its incarnations) for building the particular planar structure that it uses for all is worlds. if the Greeks and Babylonian and all those old civilizations made up their own cosmos, why did the creators of DnD think their world's needed to rip off those wonderful inventions instead of making up their own. Now, I realize they have tried from time to time, but no self-respecting DM will use all the junk in this book.
The only useful part of this book is the planar characteristics. They should have spent 90% of the book on that, and 10% on examples. Then they would have gotten a 5 star vote from me.
Needed to spice life up!.......2004-10-31
I picked up this book from Amazon some time ago and find that it is vital to my nwn module creation. Since acquiring this book, I have added into the module the plane of celesta, the plane of hades, the shadow plane and the planes of fire and air. My players LOVE the new areas. They let you use and create new cool critters to throw at them and expand your imagination! It has been SO fun creating these planes because you can use your create a custom area using only your imagination! Spice up your higher lvl chars lives, throw them in the shadow plane, but you will need this book to make sure you get it all right.
Excellent! Great resource for NeverWinter Nights as well!.......2004-06-21
Most D&D books I purchase are for my NeverWinter Nights modules, and this one surprised me. Excellent read, very imaginative. Makes me want to travel to some of these (and avoid others!)
The photographic and/or 3D circle illustrations are getting tired, but they are still unique enough to give the book a nice feel.
A great addition to your D&D library (or NWN!)

Great book, if you are an airline enthousiast you will love it, includes a brief history of almost every important airline and explains very clearly what each livery represents.
I highly recomend it!!!
Incredible Guide.......2006-12-14
Was waiting for something like this for years. I highly Recommend this Book. Instant access to Major and smaller carriers throught out the world. Covers just about all of them. You will NOT find any defunct airlines here from years past, BUT you will find many present day carriers. Brief descriptions about the airline and a excellent explanation of the colors, tail design, logo of the airline. All in color, no photographs of the planes, but well displayed computer designed artwork.

The Cessna 150 & 152.......2005-09-27
An excellent book for anyone who is looking at buying a Cessna 150. I would strongly recommend reading it from cover to cover before you buy, you'll be glad you did.
The definitive guide to the Cessna 150 /152.......2000-03-23
The Cessna 150 / 152, by Bill Clarke, published by Tab Books
Bill Clarke has produced a full stop work of reference on the venerable Cessna 150 and 152. In the second edition of his book, Bill starts describing in clear language an overview of the history of the most prolific aircraft manufacturer since men took to the skies. He then catalogs all the model changes and consequent variations in performance from the first 150 that came out of Wichita in 1957 to the last 152, 28 years later. As with any popular airplane, many after market modifications became available over the years. Bill has collected the best catalog of these enhancements I have ever seen. For those who want to pamper their aircraft them selves, The Cessna 150 / 152 covers all you need to know to take the best possible care of the worlds most popular training aircraft. Bill Clarke has done owners, operators and 150 / 152 aficionado's a big favor by making all they ever wanted to know available in one admirably written volume. A truly must have!
Fine 150/152 buyer's and owner's guide.......1999-11-05
This is a very good book for anyone planning to buy a 150/152. It describes all the model variations, and gives helpful shopping advice for those already sold on one of these planes, and the "Hangar Flying" section will only reinforce your decision. It has good technical info on maintenance and ADs as well. A few more good photos, and it'll be perfect.
This is a very good book on a very good plane........1999-03-30
I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the Cessna 150/152 series aircraft. It touches on the history of the design and provides detailed specs on each model year to 1985 as well as component descriptions . It also contains a good selection of interesting photographs. A list of maintenance/inspection procedures and current STC's (to 1993) are also provided. Includes hangar flying anectdotes from pilots, owners, and mechanics. NTSB statistics are compared with other light aircraft.

Great Book to Compliment Great Class.......2007-07-08
The strength of this book is its organization. The reader is first introduced to the relation of arc length, radius, and angle. Then degrees and radians are learned. Then the unit circle is introduced. This is one of the best ways to learn trig.
The textbook presents the theory in a clear way that is easy to follow. If you were to read the chapter, you know enough to answer any of the problems. And if you were decided between texts, the layout of the problems of this text would be the reason to choose it. That is because of the science and real world applications of the problems. This is not "plug and chug." It is applying what was learned.
For me this book and the class in which it was used formed the foundation of all my latter math courses. This book has some pre-calculus problems, but that isn't its focus. Calculus has its advantages, but I always found trig to be more visual than most things in calculus. It is easier to picture what is actually going on in the math problem. But if you can relate your newly learned problem solving skills when approaching calculus problems, you will have no trouble.
One of my favorite problems in this book, which was included in the sixth edition on page 281, problem 71, is about an arched doorway. I don't know if the current versions have this problem. However it is worth researching. On my website (see my profile), I discuss this problem. And the excellent problems is what make this the best trig book I've seen.

Turbine Pilot's flight manual review.......2007-05-12
This is a great product and I highly recommend it for anyone that is transitioning to turbine equipment, weather it be turboprop or turbojet/turbofan. This easy-to-read book made it easy for me to understand the new equipment that I'll be transitioning into. I read this book right before i started ground-school for my type-rating and I was surprised at how much easier it was for me to grasp the material... The ASA version is the same as the hard-cover version which sells for $25-30 more and the material is the same... There is a cd included that is excellent because it has animated examples of the material in the book.
Great beginning turbine book.......2004-01-24
This book is fantastic for someone that does not have any previous knowledge of turbine systems. Things are kept very simple. For a turbine pilot, you'll find this book is very basic, and lacking some of the finer detail you'll want/need. If you're looking to explore turbines for the first time, this is the book for you. Otherwise, I'd suggest looking for another book with more detail.
Very good book for a pilot moving to a turbo prop.......2003-03-01
Very well done. An excellent book and CD. The CD is helpful in understanding the jet or turboprop mechanical system. This book will help anyone wanting to learn to fly.
Wow!.......2002-12-17
I am currently transitioning from my previous career as an Army aviator flying helicopters to a career with the airlines. This book is a terrific aid in understanding the differences and realities of high speed and highly technical flight.
The systems and advanced avionics sections are phenomenal! They are generalized in order to apply to as many aircraft as possible, but really explain well how they operate and how you will interact with them.
My favorite part about the book is that the authors write it in an easy to understand manner. They do not write in an overly complicated technical manner, but rather at a level that a new or transitioning professional pilot can understand. They don't baby talk to you either. It's just right.
Big Kudos and a must buy!!
A "must buy" book for early professional pilots.......2001-12-21
This book is the consumate soup of all of the most important things you need to know before you go into ground school at a regional or major airline.
It was written by airline pilots who still remember how overwhelmed they were when they sat through their first aircraft systems ground school at their respective airlines.
I consider it mandatory reading before you consider setting foot in a flight simulator or airline ground school.
Bravo!
Book Description
The X-15 rocket plane flew at Mach 6.72 and at altitudes above 67 miles -- at the threshold of space! The men who flew this amazing plane became the USAF's first astronauts. Powered by an XLR-99 engine capable of producing 70,000 pounds of thrust at peak altitude, the X-15 pushed the envelope for manned aircraft past the post office. Notably, both Apollo commander Neil Armstrong and Space Shuttle commander Joe Engle piloted the X-15. Originally highly restricted, the manual was recently declassified and is here reprinted in book form. This affordable black and white facsimile has been reformatted. Care has been taken however to preserve the integrity of the text.

TRULY AMAZING DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENT!!.......2006-07-01
Wow is this SOOOO cool! The actual pilot's manual and emergency escape manual for the X-15, the first plane to fly into space. If you've ever built the Revell model for this plane, you know how incredibly cool it is! Now you can find out first-hand how to fly it, right down to making sure your fuel mixture is right. I have huge admiration for those pilots who stepped into this aircraft, when you see the cockpit layout photos it's just incredible anyone could take it all in and fly the darn thing. Anyway, well worth careful study -- I spent all afternoon curled up with this thing. My only complaint is I can't fly the real thing, except on my computer that is!
