![]() Which - and to be clear here, I wouldn’t have read them at all if not for this fact - is a replacement for his other addictions, and a decent guideline for dealing with just about any kind of non-chemical addictive behaviour. Maybe you do, and if so, you’ll have some fun with the interstitial entries where Alice gives lots of golfing tips, as well as an insight into his “golfing addiction”. Now, I should make it clear from the outset that I don’t really care much about golf. Plus, the book’s central concept is kinda fascinating.Īlice Cooper trades on melodrama (and he’s not afraid to say so), and golf seems like an unusual juxtaposition for a man famous for (as it turns out, accidentally) killing a chicken on stage, amongst other stage stunts. For a start, he owns a lot of golf clubs, and after reading Alice Cooper, Golf Monster, I know he could afford to bend one or two over my skull. That’s cheating on the “auto” side, although I’m not likely to argue with Alice Cooper over this one. Technically speaking, Alice Cooper, Golf Monster is an autobiography, except that it has not one, but two co-writers. If I’m looking to relax and read, the odds are very good that I’ll pick up a biography. ![]() ![]() Been a good long while since I’ve done a book review, so why not one that mixes humour, hard rock and… golf? ![]() ![]() "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

More than just another book about discipline, Unconditional Parenting addresses the ways parents think about, feel about, and act with their children. ![]() That's precisely the message children derive from common discipline techniques, even though it's not the message most parents intend to send. Kohn cites a body of powerful, and largely unknown, research detailing the damage caused by leading children to believe they must earn our approval. Yet conventional approaches to parenting such as punishments (including "time-outs"), rewards (including positive reinforcement), and other forms of control teach children that they are loved only when they please us or impress us. One basic need all children have, educator Alfie Kohn argues, is to be loved unconditionally, to know that they will be accepted even if they screw up or fall short. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Civil War drags on, stalled by some horrific occurrences neither the United States nor The Confederacy want the public to know about. ![]() The year is 1877, but the history is not our own.
