Hardback. Condición: Very Good. The most exciting stories in the Championship's history. Great Moments of the U.S. Open celebrates the accomplishments of individual champions, shares their inspirational stories and chronicles the extraordinary circumstances each faced -- all of which have helped to make the U.S. Open one of the world's premier sporting events. This book, developed by the United States Golf Association, draws together heroes from different eras who shared common experiences and emotions. The stories are brought to life with stunning archival images and artifacts from the USGA's collection, connecting the present to a more distant past. From American Francis Ouimet's shocking victory over top British professionals in 1913, to Jack Nicklaus's narrow defeat of Arnold Palmer in 1962 for his first professional win, to Tiger Woods' breathtaking comeback on a broken leg to capture the 2008 U.S. Open -- the gutsiest, classiest and most improbable victories are recounted here. Great Moments of the U.S. Open contains 27 memorable stories and five essays on America's national championship. These include: Billy Burke in 1931; who needed 144 holes to defeat George Von Elm in a playoff Ben Hogan in 1950; who won at Merion just 16 months after a near-fatal car crash Ken Venturi in 1964; who held on to win at Congressional despite suffering a heat stroke Gary Player in 1965; who became the first international champion in nearly two generations Tom Watson in 1982; whose miraculous chip-in on the 71st hole denied Nicklaus a fifth Open title Tiger Woods in 2000; whose dominating performance led to a 15-stroke victory at Pebble Beach Rory McIlroy in 2011; who set a dozen U.S. Open scoring records in a rout of the field at Congressional For all its hushed moments and idyllic settings, golf is about passion, prowess and thrills. This book goes beyond the leader boards directly to the heart of the game. Five chapters encapsulate the championship's colorful history through its great stories. These are the victories that heralded significant changes in the sport. They are the underdogs who had to overcome injuries and sickness to become champions. And they are the comeback heroes and the dominant champions who make it look easy. The book is lavishly illustrated with stunning photographs of the championship artifacts held by the USGA Museum. Readers will also enjoy some of the world's best action and course photography. Complete with a foreword by four-time champion Jack Nicklaus and essays focusing on the origins of the championship, U.S. Open courses, Francis Ouimet's 1913 victory, near misses and the rise of international players, Great Moments of the U.S. Open provides readers a unique and authoritative view on the best of America's most prestigious golf championship. Great Moments of the U.S. Open is broken down into five chapters: Defining Moments, Perseverance, Underdogs, Comebacks and Dominance. Defining Moments focuses on golfers whose victories heralded significant changes or gains for the golf world. Golfers profiled here are: Harry Vardon in 1900 Johnny McDermott in 1911 Walter Hagen in 1914 Bob Jones in 1930 Jack Nicklaus in 1962 Gary Player in 1965 Tom Watson in 1982 Perseverance focuses on golfers who overcame injuries, sickness and early-round setbacks to finally become champions. Golfers profiled here include: Billy Burke in 1931 Olin Dutra in 1934 Ken Venturi in 1964 Payne Stewart in 1999 Tiger Woods in 2008 Underdogs focuses on those golfers that everyone had counted out, or didn't even consider, yet managed to achieve remarkable victories.

Hardback. Condición: Good. This study assesses the potential that telecommunications advances hold for rural America and is the outcome of the third in a series of policy research projects into issues relating telecommunications policy and economic development undertaken by research teams of faculty and students at the Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Affairs and College of Communication, University of Texas at Austin. All three projects have been concerned with telecommunications at two levels: the effects of telecommunications advances on our economy and society and the policy framework that has resulted from divestiture of AT&T. The first project studied state telecommunication policy and resulted in the publication of Telecommunications Policy and Economic Development: The New State Role (Praeger, 1989); the second, which dealt with cities and large telecommunications users, produced The New Urban Infrastructure: Cities and Telecommunications (Praeger, 1990). Telecommunications and rural development has been much more frequently researched in Third World countries than in advanced industrialized ones and this volume represents a significant contribution to the literature on the subject.The findings are divided into four general research areas. Following an introduction, Chapter Two looks at some fascinating telecommunications applications in American rural businesses from Wal-Mart, to traditional rural businesses like the lumber industry, to the opening of new businesses like telemarketing. Chapter Three assesses the use of telecommunication for delivery of public services from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to health care and distance education. Chapter Four asserts that many of the benefits of telecommunications for rural America will only be realized if the small independent or cooperative telephone companies remain healthy and progressive. The substantial contribution to community development, from community revitalization and regional cooperation to infrastructure upgrading, is the focus of Chapter Five. A final chapter offers conclusions. This is required reading for students, scholars, and practitioners in the fields of communications/telecommunications and government.…
