From Howard Schwartz, The Gambler's Book Club:
Tony (Sonny) Daniels of the Boston area has published The Wise Guy's Bible ($49.95, paperbound, 325 pages, 8 x 11 format) which should prove interesting to both aspiring bettors, bookmakers (and their lawyers), researchers, and perhaps fledgling law enforcement personnel who do not know the difference between legal and illegal gambling and who may need a one-volume text-book for a quick lesson.

Daniels openly admits he did 18 months at Lewisburg Federal Prison Camp for refusing to divulge his "knowledge and gambling contacts" (he was held in contempt of court).

In 48 chunky chapters, Daniels covers an enormous amount of territory including chapters on the "economics" of bookmaking, sports services, setting up a 900 number service, and explaining the various bets including parlay cards, parlays, round robins, betting squares, totals, and teasers.

If you have an interest in money laundering, the RICO (Racketeering Influenced and Corruption Organization Act) statutes, state laws, or some fascinating material on how street bookmakers operate and the laws they try to circumvent, this one-volume source is sure to stay on your desk a long time.

Product Description

James Cook's three epic journey's in the eighteenth century were the last great voyages of discovery. When he embarked for the Pacific in 1768, a third of the globe remained blank. By the time he died in 1779, Cook had explored more of the earth's surface than anyone in history.

Adventuring in the captain's wake, Tony Horwitz relives his journeys and explores their legacy. He recaptures the rum-and-lash world of eighteenth century seafaring gang members, and the king of Tonga. Accompanied by a carousing Australian mate, he meets Miss Tahiti, visits the roughest bar in Alaska, and uncovers the secret behind the red-toothed warriors of Savage Island.

Throughout, Horwitz also searches for Cook the man: a restless prodigy who fled his peasant boyhood, and later the luxury of Georgian London, for the privation and peril of sailing off the edge of the map.

Fun Book

This book is a wonderful combination of a history book (Captain Cook) and a travel narrative. The author is very thorough and has a good sense of humor. Captain Cook is one of the greatest explorers of all time and this bookwill inform you and entertain you at the same time.

A real unique biography
I had purchased this book after reading the book on Magellan.I would reccomend that book as well.Magellan's story got me interested in other explorers and so I started looking for a book on Cook, of whom I knew just a little.I looked for a good biography on cook and came across this book.It seemed different becuase It wasn't a straight forward biography.I didn't know at first how this would work out becuase I really enjoyed the Magellan book.But I really enjoyed this book as well.You do get a very good biography of Cook but you also get to enjoy the author's journey which although not as dramatic is a great break from the heavy life of cook.This unique combination keeps you interested and brings Cooks discoveries into the present.A thoroughly enjoyable book.Highly recommended.

A plain, zealous man
In his three most recent books, of which "Blue Latitudes" is the middle, Tony Horwitz has gone where someone else has gone before.But those someone elses were a long time ago and he is curious about the historical truth to be found in the places they went as well as the way it reverberates in contemporary culture.His products are immensely readable, intelligent journalistic hybrids of history, travel and human folly. He always delivers surprises just when we think we'd learned everything there is to know about his topics in school.

"Blue Latitudes," as its subtitle states, "boldly goes where Captain Cook has gone before."Accordingly, Horwitz leaves his Virginian home for Tahiti and other exotic South Pacific locales, New Zealand, Australia, Alaska and Hawaii, hitting the high points of Cook's three groundbreaking charting and scientific marine expeditions that took place from 1768 until his death on 14 February 1779 in Hawaii.His was a mission that epitomized the values of the Enlightenment, that yielded information still relied upon today.Though Cook did not intend to slaughter or conquer the cultures he encountered, the introduction to Europeans was the door to extinction for the native cultures.Visiting the contemporary descendants of the original populations, Horwitz mostly finds that paradise has been paved over in more than one sense.A vast range of ignorance, apathy, revisionism and mythologizing have disfigured historical knowledge.

Horwitz alternately marvels at Cook's achievements and deplores what has become of the places he left behind.Sometimes, he just laughs or gets seasick.Horwitz begins his adventure by signing on for a very long week aboard the replica of Cook's first ship, the Endeavor.His companion throughout the South Pacific and the journey to the Captain's native Yorkshire is an English ex-pat living in Australia, Roger Williamson, whose uninhibited character lands them in some interesting situations, including a reenactment festival in Australia that dissolves into beer cooler races and wet T-shirt contests.Through all of it, though, Horwitz never loses his gaze on Cook, managing to make sense of an elusive personality and his mysteriously violent end.As Horwitz, Roger and the gentle Cliff Thornton, the president of the Cook Society in London, gather on the site more than two centuries later to commemorate the grim anniversary, their collective personalities and goals echo the lessons of the past and present.

Very good
This is a skillful interweaving of two stories: (1) the 18th century maritime explorations of Captain James Cook, and (2) the author's travels to places that Cook visited or lived in. This book also skillfully blends history, geography, biography, biology, anthropology, sociology, linguistics and travel in a delicious down-to-earth way. If you've never listened to an audiobook before, consider getting the audiobook version of this book instead of the print version. One of the advantages of the audiobook version is that the book's reader, Daniel Gerroll, delights the reader with no less than a half dozen different dialects of English, thereby helping to transport the listener to the various places that are visited in this story.
