Tenement: Immigrant Life on the Lower East Side
Life on the Lower East Side was bustling Immigrants from many European countries had come to make a better life for themselves and their families in the United States. But the wages they earned were so low that they could afford only the most basic accommodations—tenements. Unfortunately, there were few laws protecting the residents of tenements, and landlords took advantage of this by allowing the buildings to become cramped and squalid. There was little the tenants could do; their only other choice was the street. Though most immigrants struggled in these buildings, many overcame a difficult start and saw generations after them move on to better apartments, homes, and lives. Raymond Bial reveals the first, challenging step in this process as he leads us on a tour of the sights and sounds of the Lower East Side, guiding us through the dark hallways, staircases, and rooms of the tenements..

Nashville's Lower Broad: The Street That Music Made
A gritty, moving, and honest profile in time of a legendary wellspring of country musicLike Beale Street in Memphis and Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Lower Broadway was the heart of the country music scene in Nashville, the place where locals could rub elbows with stars and impromptu jam sessions could last late into the night. But after the Grand Ole Opry moved out of the Ryman Auditorium in the 1970s, Lower Broad deteriorated into a down-and-out skid row. When the Ryman's reopening and urban gentrification started bringing people—especially tourists—back to Lower Broad in the 1990s, locals fought to retain some of its old-time authenticity. Bill Rouda's evocative photographs captured the return of the spirit of real country music in honky-tonks like Tootsie's Orchid Lounge and Robert's Western World. Here bands like the hip, retro BR549 played for tips while fans danced the night away, ignoring the shadows of the newly constructed convention center and the glare of Planet Hollywood. Rouda's photographs also capture legends like Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson and attest to the true heart and soul of country music. 90 duotones..

You have managed to develop a respectable game of golf, but your score just doesn't seem to be getting any lower. We have all experienced the frustration of getting right up to the edge of the green only to throw away numerous shots with a missed chip or one too many putts, and now is the time to take responsibility for your score, and your short game will be the quickest way to do this. The short game is more different for women than any other part of the game.

But the short game provides a wonderful opportunity for women to even the playing field. A good short game can compensate for a multitude of mistakes and take a lot of pressure off the full swing. By identifying strengths and weaknesses, from the smallest stroke to the largest swing and applying simple methods for quick skill improvement, you will learn to self correct and better manage your own golf game. Beginning with advice on making better decisions about shot selection and practice techniques from fairway and bunker to green, The Women's Guide to Lower Scores will take players through the steps they need to conquer the game and bring on the lower scores. .
