①たおやかで強い女性
ダイヤモンドベイのラストシーンで助けに来た隣人の牧場主がヒーローです。裕福な牧場主の娘として生きてきた女性が、父親の死後、荒廃した牧場を一人でやっていこうとがんばります。娘のころに惹かれていたゴージャスな隣の牧場主もそのけなげさに惹かれて面倒を見ようとするのですが、、、暴力のために別れた前夫のストーカー行為がサスペンスタッチを加えています。リンダハワード得意のたおやかだけど芯の強い女性が魅力的です。全体の雰囲気はロマンチック。
②チャーミングなお話
Diamond Bayでちらりと登場した脇役が主人公に取り上げられております。クラシックなロマンスではお決まりの、年上の男性とまだ大人になりきっていない少女の再会という設定です。使い古された設定ですが、それなりにチャーミングなお話です。
元夫に付きまとわれて、それが段々エスカレートしてきてついに．．．というサスペンスがメインのお話です。
家族構成やヒロインの経済状態などはもちろん違うのですが、1983年の作品のAgainst the Rulesのサスペンス版といったところです。

【Buyer Reviews】
①Benjamin Bunny
My 2 year old loves this story she calls it, the bunny's friend book. She enjoys this story more than Peter Rabbit. I think that the story is more eventful than Peter Rabit; and it is nice that the bunnies get to finish their adventure. I have read hundreds of stories to my daughter and we both find this one enjoyable my 5 month old also seems to enjoy it. She likes the colorful pictures. I guess you could say that everyone is happy when this story is chosen. If you like Peter Rabbit you'll like Benjamin Bunny.
②THE TALE OF PETER RABBIT CONTINUES
"Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were -- Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter. They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big tree."
And so began one of the most famous, long lasting and beloved children's books of all time...The Tale if Peter Rabbit. Of course it did not end there and there were many other stories to follow; not only of Peter, but an array of wonderful characters all set in the whimsical world of Beatrix Potter.
The Tale of Benjamin Bunny was published in 1904 and is a follow-up to the Tale of Peter Rabbit. Benjamin Bunny is traveling down a road when he notes that Mr. and Mrs. McGregor are leaving their home (and by the way, their garden). Of course Benjamin being Benjamin he immediately heads that way. He must go past his aunts Old Mrs. Rabbit's house, a widow, living with her children Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tale and Peter, his cousins. (It is interesting that in a later tale, sequentially anyway, that Benjamin marries his cousin Flopsy and they have a family of their own...reference The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies (Potter)
He spies Peter wrapped in a pocket-hankerchief and huddled by himself, and upon questioning him finds that he has lost his clothing to Mr. McGregor and they, the clothing, now cloth a scarecrow, "topped with an old tam-o-shanter of Mr. McGregor's. Well nothing will do but to invade the forbidden garden, rescue the clothing and of course, sample and take some of Mr. McGregor's fine harvest.
Oh my, trouble begins and they soon find themselves trapped under a basket by a very fine and large cat...for five hours!
Now as most of you know, I almost never include spoilers in my reviews, but suffice to say the two wayward little rabbits are finally rescued by Old Mr. Bunny, Benjamin's father, thoroughly chastised and leaving Mr. McGregor with a thoroughly confusing set of clues as to what happened to his cat and his garden.
This is one book in a set of twelve Potter books published by Frederick Warne & Co., the original publishers of her work. They have been maliciously reproduced and both the text and the art work have stayed true to the original.
Potter set the standard, and set it high, for children's books of the future; she is seldom if ever outdone.
I suppose I like this story and it is one of my favorite as Benjamin sort of reminds me of when I was a little one, thrashings and all.
This is a nice copy of a wonderful story my one of the great masters of children's literature.

③Well writen, and great for children
Full of fun and adventure, and a great companion to have with the tale of peter rabbit. While the tale of peter rabbit is full of mischief and adventure, this tale is full of adventure and teamwork (an important quality to instill in children. The book introduces a few more colorful characters to the series, and also gives peter a better ending than the last one!
The illustrations are very captivating, and it's clear that much hard work went into them.
As a writer of children's tales about rabbits, the peter rabbit series is by far my favorite. This book makes an excellent addition. I hope you and your young ones will enjoy it.

④The original books restored and presented in a child-sized book for everyone to enjoy
My son thoroughly enjoys this series. "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny" is a particularly good story to read after the child becomes familiar with "The Tale of Peter Rabbit," which sets up this story of Benjamin Bunny and Peter Rabbit's visit to Mr. McGreggor's garden. The story itself is told in the same charming prose, using appropriate words that many of today's readers tend to avoid because they appear "too difficult." The series published by Frederick Warne, in particular, had the vision to size the book perfectly for small hands, allowing even the youngest "readers" to enjoy the story, whether it is read, or whether one studies the many delightful, detailed images that fit the text so well. I highly recommend this book, as well as the rest of the Beatrix Potter series published by Frederick Warne.
⑤Love it!
Beatrix Potter's books are classic! Great read for everyone.
Note that there are no pictures in the Kindle version!

The Natural Way of Farming: The Theory and Practice of Green Philosophy

①One more straw
Doing nothing, being nothing, becoming nothing is the goal of Fukuoka farming method, an approach to agriculture which he has pursued for over forty years with resounding success. With no tillage, no fertilizer, no weeding and no pesticides he consistently produces rice, barley , fruit and vegetable crops that equal or exceed the yield per acre of neighboring farmers who embrace modern scientific agriculture. The basis of his philosophy is that nature grows plants just fine without our interference so that the most practical approach is to get out of the way . In the course of explaining his reasoning and methods, this do-nothing farmer delivers a scorching indictment of chemical agriculture and the human assumption that we can improve on nature. He explains the beneficial role of insects and plants usually characterized as pests, the fallacy of artificially boosting fertility with petrochemical concoctions, the logical error implicit in the use of farm machinery or draft animals, and why pollution is an inevitable result of misguided attempts to improve on nature. Calculation of the energy input versus the caloric output of various farms results in the surprising discovery (perhaps it should not be) that (minimal) human labor is the most efficient way to produce food. Draft animals add more work and more energy input, small scale machines compound the problem and large scale mechanized agriculture proves to be a vast waste of energy. He calls modern American farmers "subcontractors of the oil industry," and claims that traditional Japanese farmers on 3-5 acres achieve a real net income higher than American farmers on 500-700 acres. (A skeptical friend of mine wondered if Japanese farm price supports were a factor here. Obviously a complex issue, that, but the declining economic viability of petro-chemical farming is obvious when we note that the onslaught of monster tractors and oil based fertilizers and pesticides has paralleled the collapse of the family farm. The author, to his credit, rejects any artificial manipulation of food prices and believes they should naturally be more or less the same worldwide.) Nor is this text pure philosophy, including as it does specific practical advice on the transition from scientific to natural methods. Crop rotation programs for cold or warm climates, and a ten year rotation system for grain and vegetables make this a practical manual for husbandry. As Fukuoka eloquently suggests, the universe is a circle returning to nothing. Nothing is .. the most profitable object of our meditations Doing nothing is simply going with the flow (See also his "groundbreaking" (literally) ONE STRAW REVOLUTION, Other India Press; 1992)
②It's all here
After reading the one straw revolution i really wanted to see how Fukuokas' system worked. I was not disapointed by this well layed out and functional guide to his methods. While his philosophy claims that no list of rules and time tables can acturatelly set out how natural farming should work, the publication of the hystory and methods of his experiment proves vital to the unhinging of common industrial theories on the subject.
③This book explains how to put the philosophy of One Straw
One Straw Revolution is Fukuoka's farming philosophy thesis and The Natural Way of Farming explains how to put Fukokua's philosophy into practice by detailing each of his farming methods. It explains everything mentioned in One Straw Revolution such as which crops to use as green manure and Fukuoka's recipe for seed balls. While One Straw Revolution reads like a prose Tao Te Ching, The Natural Way of Farming reads like a university science textbook due to its in-depth descriptions of Fukuoka's personal farming research. This is the perfect book to use as a practical followup to One Straw Revolution especially if you are interested in transferring Fukuoka's practices to your garden.
Fukokua has an extensive bibliography but only two of his works are currently published in the United States, One Straw Revolution and Sowing Seeds in the Desert. Therefore, The Natural Way of Farming is shipped from India where it is still being published in English. This book arrived in only four days with an expedited shipping charge of $ 6.99. It was in pristine condition even after being opened by customs.
④a revolutionary worldview and philosophy
This was the second of 3 books (translated into English) by this amazing Japanese farmer and philosopher. Comparatively little-known here, Fukuoka (RIP) is famous in India, where his techniques are being used to revive desert areas.
His keen observations of, and communion with nature, ultimately created, over the years, a natural farming technique requiring no machinery (no plowing or digging, ever!) Or fossil fuel, no chemicals, no prepared compost and very little weeding. Yields are comparable to the most productive farms. Natural farming creates no pollution and the fertility of the fields improves with each season. He calls it "do-nothing farming" but it is more like "do-little" (harvesting is the most laborious part of the year).
Here, the author continues his critique of scientific farming practices, explaining why they can never succeed, and of how our belief that we know better than nature inevitably separates us more and more from from everything, including ourselves and each other. Fukuoka explains that scientific farming attempts to correct and improve on what it perceives as the shortcomings of nature through human effort.
Scientific experiments always take a single subject and apply a number of variable conditions to it while making some prior assumption about the results. Natural farming, however, pushes aside all conditions and, knocking away the precepts from which science operates, it strives to find the laws and principles in force at the true source. Unchanging truth can be found only through experiments free of conditions, assumptions, and notions of time and space. When a problem arises, natural farming relentlessly pursues the root causes and strives to correct and restrain human action . The best plan, then, is true non-action; it is no plan at all.
He continues:. All that man really has to do is direct the vast, hidden forces of nature but people instead choose to destroy it Weeding and plowing each year depletes fertility, creating a deficiency of trace components, diminishing the soil's vitality and hardening the topsoil -. killing off microbes and turning rich, living, organic material into a dead, inanimate, yellowish-white mineral matter, the only function of which is to physically support the crops Man also makes crop disease and pest control indispensable by growing unhealthy crops. Agricultural technology creates the causes that produce disease and pest damage, then becomes adept at treating these. Growing healthy crops, in healthy soil, it should take precedence.

①One more straw
Doing nothing, being nothing, becoming nothing is the goal of Fukuoka's farming method, an approach to agriculture which he has pursued for over forty years with resounding success. With no tillage, no fertilizer, no weeding and no pesticides he consistently produces rice, barley, fruit and vegetable crops that equal or exceed the yield per acre of neighboring farmers who embrace modern scientific agriculture. The basis of his philosophy is that nature grows plants just fine without our interference so that the most practical approach is to get out of the way. In the course of explaining his reasoning and methods, this do-nothing farmer delivers a scorching indictment of chemical agriculture and the human assumption that we can improve on nature. He explains the beneficial role of insects and plants usually characterized as pests, the fallacy of artificially boosting fertility with petrochemical concoctions, the logical error implicit in the use of farm machinery or draft animals, and why pollution is an inevitable result of misguided attempts to improve on nature. Calculation of the energy input versus the caloric output of various farms results in the surprising discovery (perhaps it shouldn't be) that (minimal) human labor is the most efficient way to produce food. Draft animals add more work and more energy input, small scale machines compound the problem and large scale mechanized agriculture proves to be a vast waste of energy. He calls modern American farmers "subcontractors of the oil industry," and claims that traditional Japanese farmers on 3-5 acres achieve a real net income higher than American farmers on 500-700 acres. (A skeptical friend of mine wondered if Japanese farm price supports were a factor here. Obviously a complex issue, that, but the declining economic viability of petro-chemical farming is obvious when we note that the onslaught of monster tractors and oil based fertilizers and pesticides has paralleled the collapse of the family farm. The author, to his credit, rejects any artificial manipulation of food prices and believes they should naturally be more or less the same worldwide.) Nor is this text pure philosophy, including as it does specific practical advice on the transition from scientific to natural methods. Crop rotation programs for cold or warm climates, and a ten year rotation system for grain and vegetables make this a practical manual for husbandry. As Fukuoka eloquently suggests, the universe is a circle returning to nothing. Nothing is the most profitable object of our meditations. Doing nothing is simply going with the flow. (See also his "groundbreaking" (literally) ONE STRAW REVOLUTION, Other India Press; 1992)
②It's all here
After reading the one straw revolution i really wanted to see how Fukuokas' system worked. I was not disapointed by this well layed out and functional guide to his methods. While his philosophy claims that no list of rules and time tables can acturatelly set out how natural farming should work, the publication of the hystory and methods of his experiment proves vital to the unhinging of common industrial theories on the subject.
③This book explains how to put the philosophy of One Straw
One Straw Revolution is Fukuoka's farming philosophy thesis and The Natural Way of Farming explains how to put Fukokua's philosophy into practice by detailing each of his farming methods. It explains everything mentioned in One Straw Revolution such as which crops to use as green manure and Fukuoka's recipe for seed balls. While One Straw Revolution reads like a prose Tao Te Ching, The Natural Way of Farming reads like a university science textbook due to its in-depth descriptions of Fukuoka's personal farming research. This is the perfect book to use as a practical followup to One Straw Revolution especially if you are interested in transferring Fukuoka's practices to your garden.
Fukokua has an extensive bibliography but only two of his works are currently published in the United States, One Straw Revolution and Sowing Seeds in the Desert. Therefore, The Natural Way of Farming is shipped from India where it is still being published in English. This book arrived in only four days with an expedited shipping charge of $6.99. It was in pristine condition even after being opened by customs.
④a revolutionary worldview and philosophy
This was the second of 3 books (translated into English) by this amazing Japanese farmer and philosopher. Comparatively little-known here, Fukuoka (RIP) is famous in India, where his techniques are being used to revive desert areas.
His keen observations of, and communion with nature, ultimately created, over the years, a natural farming technique requiring no machinery (no plowing or digging, ever!) or fossil fuel, no chemicals, no prepared compost and very little weeding. Yields are comparable to the most productive farms. Natural farming creates no pollution and the fertility of the fields improves with each season. He calls it "do-nothing farming" but it is more like "do-little" (harvesting is the most laborious part of the year).
Here, the author continues his critique of scientific farming practices, explaining why they can never succeed, and of how our belief that we know better than nature inevitably separates us more and more from from everything, including ourselves and each other. Fukuoka explains that scientific farming attempts to correct and improve on what it perceives as the shortcomings of nature through human effort.
Scientific experiments always take a single subject and apply a number of variable conditions to it while making some prior assumption about the results. Natural farming, however, pushes aside all conditions and, knocking away the precepts from which science operates, strives to find the laws and principles in force at the true source. Unchanging truth can be found only through experiments free of conditions, assumptions, and notions of time and space. When a problem arises, natural farming relentlessly pursues the root causes and strives to correct and restrain human action. The best plan, then, is true non-action; it is no plan at all.
He continues: All that man really has to do is direct the vast, hidden forces of nature but people instead choose to destroy it. Weeding and plowing each year depletes fertility, creating a deficiency of trace components, diminishing the soil's vitality and hardening the topsoil - killing off microbes and turning rich, living, organic material into a dead, inanimate, yellowish-white mineral matter, the only function of which is to physically support the crops. Man also makes crop disease and pest control indispensable by growing unhealthy crops. Agricultural technology creates the causes that produce disease and pest damage, then becomes adept at treating these. Growing healthy crops, in healthy soil, should take precedence.
The author taught (and proved in his farm and elsewhere) that "nature is in balance and perfectly abundant just as it is. People, with their limited understanding, try to improve on nature thinking the result will be better for human beings, but adverse side effects inevitably appear.

【Description】
Some say it's simply information, mirroring the world Others believe it's propaganda, promoting a partisan view But news, Michael Schudson tells us, is really both and neither; it is a form of culture, complete with its own literary and social conventions and powerful in ways far more subtle and complex than its many critics might suspect. A penetrating look into this culture, The Power of News offers a compelling view of the news media's emergence as a central institution of modern society, a key repository of common knowledge and cultural authority.
One of our foremost writers on journalism and mass communication, Schudson shows us the news evolving in concert with American democracy and industry, subject to the social forces that shape the culture at large. He excavated the origins of contemporary journalistic practices, including the interview, the summary lead, the preoccupation with the presidency, and the ironic and detached stance of the reporter toward the political world. His book explodes certain myths perpetuated by both journalists and critics. The press, for instance, did not bring about the Spanish-American War or bring down Richard Nixon; TV did not decide the Kennedy-Nixon debates or turn the public against the Vietnam War.
Then what does the news do? True to their calling, the media mediate, as Schudson demonstrates. He analyzes how the news, by making knowledge public, actually changes the character of knowledge and allows people to act on that knowledge in new and significant ways . He brings to bear a wealth of historical scholarship and a keen sense for the apt questions about the production, meaning, and reception of news today.
【Review】
Schudson is at his best when he is examining widely accepted truths, or myths as he calls them, as for instance that the press forced the resignation of Nixon, or that Reagan was a Great Communicator, or that it was television coverage of the Vietnam War that caused the American public to turn against it. (Michael Davie Times Literary Supplement)
[Schudson's book] presents a fine collection of his essays and research articles ... He captures the cultural climate of past ages by describing colorful people and incidents, by citing the wisdom of well known historical figures, and by sensitive philosophizing about what it all means. (Doris A. Graber Political Science Quarterly)
This is a carefully reasoned, well-researched study that will be valuable for readers wishing to understand contemporary media practices and their relationship to the current condition of democracy in America. (James Guimond American Studies in Europe)

【Buyer Reviews of】
① parent-child conflict is realistic, hidden masterpiece
"Goof Troop" is a sequel of, son Max Goofy was the elementary school became a junior high school student, has been plunged into puberty.
Basically, it does not change're yearning While amazed to clumsy father, or fear from being grown as Goofy, or care about the eyes around, clearly rebounded to the interference of his father or, and the unrequited love to a girl of the same school, such as also trying to Susumeyo the relationship while clumsy, has become to take the adolescent-specific behavior.
And Goofy is the carefree and own pace unchanged.
But will be it frustrated son, the figure struggle trying to understand him somehow be denied, I drew the figure of parents with children of teenager realistic.
Or different from his time who are with Mickey and Donald, and sorrow of as a father, etc. or smiled a love lavishly facial expressions that are not in the words to my son, you can see the delicate emotional expression.
And, "Goofy is to be a star," benefits the video is also a must-see.
In this work, you can see the professionalism of Goofy as an actor.
He is also a genius, it was also a hard worker.
If Goofy fan, I think that it is one that should be watched.
② deep
Junior high school age, was being shown in the LHR. At the time, I thought that "- Ne-known Disney? And this title in the classroom is also the what in the junior high school students." And I saw in the rental in the mood to abort (laughs) reverse in about half the convenience of the time, but ... made me a little thought you know the intent of the teacher to see properly. It is certainly a work that does not laugh much really dark in spite of the Disney movie, but personally is the most favorite in the Disney movie. You too their little cute is Goofy in rebellious phase the first time in the first half of the Max, but the best is the scene each other to understand through it! And power line is too cool! ! (Laughs) I had a VHS, but re-buy order can not be dubbed to DVD. Just as well be re-buy!
③fun disney movie
The trick in most Goofy titles, is that the schtick needs to be paced. The cartoons allowed for a frenetic pace which was often offset by another characters style. Well, this movie succeeds in sustaining the style of Goofy, with a story that has a cast of many other funny characters.
For a Franco-American co-production, it does (for me) come as a surprise that this has been achieved. However, the answer lies in the traditional animation style, and a strong script.
Bill Farmer's voice work is totally awesome in this film, as in the Casper series, and he captures the reinvented Goofy that came to screens with the series developed around or after the success of DUCK TALES.
Stylistically, the Characters were re-done for the "modern" audience, and unfortunately were part of the Disney downgrade of the style of drawing that has led to the cessation of traditional animation methods. The problem I have with this is not the shift to a totally computer generated form, but that the style as evinced by people like the Masterful Carl Barks, but that for all the high tech gadgets that Disney has its command, it can not do the simple thing of copy the classic style.
Fortunately, A GOOFY MOVIE maintains the high visual standards, but is one of a limited number of films that led up to dross like TWICE UPON A CHRISTMAS.
The gags in this film are brilliant;. Case in point, Big Foots Dance sequence as the backdrop to a moving scene with Max and Goofy ... its clearly a reference for Adults, since the music and the Dance sequence is so 70's And the entire movie combines classic Goofy material together with contemporary references, in such a manner that the style of the Saturday Cartoon series that featured Goofy, Max, Pete, and etc, is emulated very well.
Totally worth it for the fan of Goofy and the cartoon series of the 90s.
④ Goofy best! !
The first half the son of MAX hits cold to Goofy about a little painfully. The only character Goofy is to feel the sorrow among the Disney characters. The Goofy would away son of feeling more you try to allo would be a good father. It is a little lonely. Kana may be a little more lightly because of Disney animation, and I think, but as the story great.
⑤I want to watch any number of times
It was very good.
Something cute both of them. In all.
It can be seen feeling of Goofy, you can see also Max feelings.
It is written with a child, but privately thought I wonder if adults can enjoy.
Wrote also have people are, but there are times when there is a sense of discomfort to the voice of Max at the time of the song.
But, is good enough to not be in such of mind ♪
Loss buying you think that there is no absolute!
The had a daughter-in-law, son-daughter was surprised to Pete (laughs)
Sequel also thought that I might try to buy (^^)

①親子の葛藤がリアルな、隠れた名作
「パパはグーフィー」の続編であり、小学生だったグーフィーの息子マックスは中学生となり、思春期に突入しております。
基本的には、不器用な父親に呆れつつも慕っているのは変わりませんが、グーフィーのように成長してしまうのを恐れたり、周りの目を気にしたり、父親の干渉にはっきり反発したり、同じ学校の女の子に片想いをして、不器用ながらも関係を進めようとするなど、思春期特有の行動をとるようになっています。
そしてグーフィーは、変わらずお気楽でマイペースです。
しかしそれが息子を苛立たせてしまい、拒否されても何とか彼を理解しようと奮闘するその姿は、ティーンエイジャーの子供を持つ親の姿をリアルに描いています。
ミッキーやドナルドと居る時の彼とはまた違う、父親としての悲哀や、息子へ言葉にならない愛おしげな表情を浮かべたりなど、繊細な感情表現を見ることが出来ます。
そして、特典映像の「グーフィーがスターになるまで」も必見です。
この作品では、俳優としてのグーフィーのプロ意識を見ることが出来ます。
彼は天才でもあり、努力家でもあったのです。
グーフィーファンなら、観ておくべき一本だと思います。
②深いです
中学時代、LHRで見せられました。当時は「何で中学生にもなって授業でディズニー？しかもこんなタイトル知らね～」と思っていました。しかも時間の都合で半分くらいで打ち切り（笑）逆に気になってレンタルで見たのですが…ちゃんと見て先生の意図がわかってちょっと考えさせられました。確かにディズニー映画の割には暗くて本気であまり笑えない作品ですが、個人的にはディズニー映画の中で最も好きです。前半のマックスの反抗期ぶりにちょっとグーフィーがかわいそすぎたりしますが、それを経てわかり合うシーンは最高！そしてパワーラインがかっこよすぎる！！（笑）VHSを持っていたのですが、DVDにダビングする事が出来ないため買い直しです。買い直しても惜しくない！
③fun disney movie
The trick in most Goofy titles, is that the schtick needs to be paced. The cartoons allowed for a frenetic pace which was often offset by another characters style. Well, this movie succeeds in sustaining the style of Goofy, with a story that has a cast of many other funny characters.
For a Franco-American co-production, it does ( for me ) come as a surprise that this has been achieved. However, the answer lies in the traditional animation style, and a strong script.
Bill Farmer's voice work is totally awesome in this film, as in the Casper series, and he captures the reinvented Goofy that came to screens with the series developed around or after the success of DUCK TALES.
Stylistically, the Characters were re-done for the "modern" audience, and unfortunately were part of the Disney downgrade of the style of drawing that has led to the cessation of traditional animation methods. The problem I have with this is not the shift to a totally computer generated form, but that the style as evinced by people like the Masterful Carl Barks, but that for all the high tech gadgets that Disney has its command, it cannot do the simple thing of copy the classic style.
Fortunately, A GOOFY MOVIE maintains the high visual standards, but is one of a limited number of films that led up to dross like TWICE UPON A CHRISTMAS.
The gags in this film are brilliant; case in point, Big Foots Dance sequence as the backdrop to a moving scene with Max and Goofy... its clearly a reference for Adults, since the music and the Dance sequence is so 70's. And the entire movie combines classic Goofy material together with contemporary references, in such a manner that the style of the Saturday Cartoon series that featured Goofy, Max , Pete, and etc, is emulated very well.
Totally worth it for the fan of Goofy and the cartoon series of the 90s.
④グーフィー最高！！
息子のMAXがグーフィーに冷たくあたる前半は少し痛々しいほど。ディズニーのキャラクターの中でもグーフィーは悲哀を感じさせる唯一のキャラ。そのグーフィーが良い父親であろうあろうとすればするほど息子の気持ちが離れてしまう。それが少しさみしい。ディズニーアニメなのだからもう少し軽くても良いかな、とおもうが物語りとしては素晴らしい。
⑤何回でも観たくなる
とても良かったです。
何か二人とも可愛いです。全てにおいて。
グーフィーの気持ちも分かるし、マックスの気持ちもわかります。
子どももって書いてありますが、私的には大人の方が楽しめるのかなと思いました。
書いてある方もいますが、歌の時にマックスの声に違和感があるときがあります。
でも、そんなの気にならないほどいいです♪
買って損は絶対ないと思います!
ピートに嫁・息子・娘がいたのが驚きでした(笑)
続編も買ってみようかなと思っています(^^)
David Leadbetter's Faults and Fixes/How to Correct the 80 Most Common Problems in Golf

①slice no more !
Upon purchasing this book I was able to resolve several of my most nagging golf swing faults , i.e. slicing, topping and fat shots. I now have more confidence in my game and see the results in the form of lower scores. I would highly recommend purchasing another of Mr. Leadbetters books titled "The Fundamentals of Hogan". When used in conjunction these books are a solid referance/teaching tool that should help most golfers improve thier game. Information in one title can be found in the other but The Fundamentals of Hogan goes more in depth and is a solid starting point whereas Faults and Fixes is a troubleshooting guide for when the "basics" arent working. Overall I would say that both books are an indespesible addition to any golfers library! Happy golfing !
②not for beginners
This book isn't recommended for beginners who are looking to pick up the game for the first time. I consider this more of a reference-type book. The way the book is structured - listing 80 common faults - can confuse the beginner by overloading the head with too many details. Golf is a hard enough game as it is and filling one's head with so many swing mechanics will definitely make the game more challenging and discouraging even. When professional golfers are asked what their secrets are and most of them will answer by saying: "keep it simple." For me, I try to keep only three things in my head while going through the pre-shot routine.
This book is more suitable for intermediate and advanced golfers who want to refine their games by targeting weak areas, and book will help you do that. The golf swing should feel natural and uncluttered with details. Once you get beyond the initial hurdles, this book will help you spot-check your swing...
③best book on golf published,because it gives quick solutions
After a bad day on the links (which most of us have on occasion) this is the book you need "at the ready" to solve your problem (s)quickly and easily . It is clearly written and well illustrated .I believe it belongs in every golfers library !
④Problem-Solution Drill Handbook
Leadbetter gives some great drills to correct 80 of the most common problems golfer faces. This is broken into three parts: full swing, short game, and mental/course management.
Each problem/solution drill occupies two pages, with one side identifying the fault, and the accompanying page the recommended fix. This has the excellent illustrations of Dave Smith which are now trademark of Leadbetter's book.
Might also check out John Jacob's books, especially the Swing Doctor.
