|  | Strive to Excel by Jennifer Briggs
After the cheers have died down and the stadium is empty, after the headlines have been written and after you are back in the quiet of your own room and the championship ring has been placed on the dresser and all the pomp and fanfare has faded, the enduring things that are left are the dedication to excellence, the dedication to victory, and the dedication to doing with our lives the very best we can to make the world a better place in which to live . -- Vince Lombardi Vince Lombardi, the legendary coach of the Green Bay Packers, led his team to victory in the first two Super Bowls and to three other NFL championships. The Packers' 1997 Super Bowl win was the franchise's first since the Lombardi era. The name Lombardi is synonymous with American football tradition and excellence. In the 25 years since his death, Lombardi has continued to be known for his ability to motivate and inspire those around him. Vince developed a lot of character in his players , former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry said, character that a lot of them probably would never have had without the leadership and discipline he developed in them . Strive to Excel: The Will and Wisdom of Vince Lombardi brings together the best of the hundreds of Lombardi quotations and insights that have challenged many on and off the field. Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing , Lombardi said. Here is a book that will inspire a winning attitude and a healthy self-confidence. AUTHOR: Jennifer Briggs

 | Practical Pistol Manual by Bill Clede
Since more than 26 states have passed laws requiring training for concealed carrying of firearms, citizens and police have a duty to teach the safe and responsible use of the weapons. In eight other states that permit concealed carry with no training required, men and women have a moral obligation to learn how to carry and use their firearms safely and responsibly. This handy little book contains everything a novice gun owner needs to know to start learning the basics of competent and safe pistol use, as well as the essentials of using a gun in a potentially violent confrontation with a criminal. It is an ideal textbook for state courses required for concealed carry permits. While there are many excellent books on handguns, marksmanship and self defense, all are designed for those who want to be expert in those subjects. There are no other books which address the specific concerns of someone who simply wants to carry a concealed firearm safely and responsibly until now. Bill Clede serves on the Connecticut State Police Firearms Advisory Committee which determines what training in his state will and will not include. A fruitless search for a suitable text is what prompted him to develop this book. One of Clede's primary goals is teaching how to avoid discharging the firearm in the first place, defusing aggressive behavior without resorting to shooting someone. The Practical Pistol Manual brings all these concerns together -- safety, competent shooting, and how to deal with violent behavior -- in one concise and affordable book. This is the only book that fills the need of a text for novices that covers safety, competent shooting, and how to deal with potentially violentencounters. AUTHOR: Bill Clede
