Over the last several decades, one of the most frustrating problems facing bowlers who are looking to get better at the sport has been the lack of a simple, universally accepted system that works for everyone.Enter Mark Baker and his revolutionary approach to coaching -- an approach that has made him the most sought-after bowling coach in the world. In this book, Baker reveals entirely new and simple ways to illustrate the kinds of things that can immediately improve a bowler's scores without completely reinventing the bowler's own unique style.Using empirical evidence illustrated by common traits that the vast majority of Hall-of-Fame-caliber bowlers possess, Baker convincingly (and humorously) explains what it takes to improve your bowling scores by making small, easy-to-adopt changes within the structure of your own, natural game. The Game Changer truly is a game changer when it comes to the way bowlers and bowling coaches will approach bowling improvement for the foreseeable future.

Finding himself returned to earth in 2009 on the 150th anniversary of The Origin of Species, Charles Darwin keeps a journal of his fascinating experience. Granted special powers of invisibility and instant travel, he visits the fossil sites, laboratories, and libraries of the world -- eager to explore the progress and impact of his world-changing evolutionary legacy. Startling discoveries in science and beyond science await him.Darwin discovers conclusive, worldwide fossil evidence that animal phyla appeared already fully formed at the very dawn of geological time. He is astonished by the molecular biological revolution and its revolutionary message. He is profoundly shocked by the twentieth century's great killing regimes -- rationalized by brutal new ideologies in a world where scientific naturalism eroded belief in the Creator God of History and a moral code transcending nature.I, Charles Darwin is a scientific epiphany and a moral parable. Mr. Darwin's journal is brought to light by an American historian whose many published twentieth-century-history stories dramatize the fierce contradictions assailing the tragic illusion of modern men and women that human existence is an accident of blind nature in a meaningless universe.About the AuthorNickell John Romjue studied European history and German literature at the universities of Missouri, California, and Heidelberg.

He lives with his wife in York County, Virginia.
