Create Mobile Version of Our Ecommerce Website
This project received 39 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $955 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Skills Required
Project Budget$250 - $1000 USD
Total Bids39
Project Description
Our current Desktop and Tablet website is: [url removed, login to view]
We want to have a mobile version of this site created. The main purpose for this mobile version is to make the checkout page much easier to purchase from if using a mobile phone, make the shopping cart, login buttons, checkout buttons, etc larger so easier to click on a mobile phone, and just overall make the site nicer and easier to view on the smaller mobile phone interface. It is very important that our Desktop version of the site is not changed at all (we also want Tablets to continue going to the current Desktop version). With the mobile version of the site we also want the ability at the bottom of the page for a user to hit something that can change them back to the Desktop version if they want, even if on a mobile phone.
The visitors to our website are mostly new visitors so it is very important that the design style and professionalism of the site remains like it is for the mobile version and that the content they are being shown remains the same as the Desktop version. Also, if content changes are made on the Desktop version of the site, it should also automatically make those changes on the Mobile version of the website as well.
IMPORTANT: Please send multiple samples with your bid of mobile websites you have created that are most similar to what we are asking. We cannot consider any bids if there are not past samples included with the bid.

Which Joe gave his name to 'sloppy joes'? We look at five interesting sandwiches and their lexical origins.
plural noun
[treated as singular] The practice or technique of deep-freezing the bodies of people who have just died, in the hope that scientific advances may allow them to be revived in the future.
- 'We know cryonics is the nutcase science of hyperfreezing cadavers in hopes that someday there will be a way to bring the dead to life.'
- 'Or perhaps I would like to see a prize awarded for research in cryonics.'
- 'I am reminded of cryonics companies, which you pay to keep your body frozen in a tank of liquid nitrogen forever.'
- 'I'm lining up a cryonics team that will be there as soon as I'm declared dead.'
- 'Most of them live in California, their passions are life extension, body sculpting, cryonics, smart drinks, funny handshakes, and a new philosophy they call 'transhumanism'.'
- 'Great title aside, the article is an interesting history of the resuscitation of those with ambiguous mortality, from mouth-to-mouth to cryonics.'
- 'Cryonicists divide the world into two groups, those who are experimenting with cryonics by being frozen vs. those who just die and are buried.'
- 'They have been entertained mostly by the sort of people who think investing in cryonics is a sensible way to achieve immortality.'
- 'I still believe that's true, but it seems the day might come when cryonics is medically prudent.'
- 'Have yourself frozen by cryonics, a near death experience that should settle once and for all any doubts about the afterlife.'
- 'An international science magazine is offering one reader the chance to win another life, through a competition offering a prize of cryonics treatment.'
- 'But as a scientist, I know quite a few such people: Extropeans, folks associated with the Foresight Institute, cypherpunks, fans of cryonics, and so on.'

This was a wonderful treat on a very cool and windy mid-Oct day. The red and gold leaves are blowing around their now bare trees. Indoors a cup of hot cocoa with peanut butter was warming and delicious. I used Splenda and a 50/50 mix of skin milk and fat free coffee creamer for that richer taste. Dark Dutch cocoa and creamy Adams pb are a match made in heaven. Now I'm looking forward to trying the peppermint So simple and so very good :D.
I made it with 2 tablespoon of sugar (that's enough sweet for me). I used dark cacao powder. I added mini marshmallows to my son's hot cocoa. He liked it. For him I didn't made a variation. For mine (on photo), I made the mocha variation with instant espresso powder. It was very yummy. I can't wait to try with peanut butter. Thanks Swissms :) Made for Market tag game
I made the peppermint variation and topped it with whipped cream and more crushed peppermint candy, so good! This is a definite keeper! Want to give the mocha, mexican, and orange variations a try too. Made and reviewed for Comfort Cafe Event - January 2010.
This made a wonderful breakfast combined with toast. One of my favorite childhood breakfasts. We made this for 4. It was enjoyed by all. Made for the Comfort Cafe 01/10
This is so good I wished I had saved this to make for after my DS came home for Christmas break. I'll have to repeat it then! Thanks for sharing!
This was really great. The first time I made this, I did it for my parent's anniversary on Tuesday, and used the mocha variation. The second time I made it was this last today, and I used the banana variation. I have to say it was very well recieved. I did a little taste test of the first variation and it was amazing, and I have to say the banana variation was amazing as well. I can't wait to try the other variations!
I made this as an after school treat for my daughter and she absolutely loved it. We tried Variation #3 (mocha) which has just a hint of coffee and it was perfect. I topped it with whipped cream and chocolate curls - um um! We can't wait to try some of the other options. Thx so much for sharing this!
Nice. We had this without vanilla as I had none on hand but I added the cinnamon and banana. DD1 (4 years old) just had hers with extra organic cane sugar. I used organic cocoa powder and half & half cream (10%) & water.
The plain recipe is delicious and has a beautifully consistent texture! We reduced sugar to 2T. I made this in the microwave following the same procedures (except simply heat the water and don't bring it to boiling). I must say, mixing the first several ingredients without the milk definitely helps the cocoa powder mix correctly without clumping. Sometimes to save on calories I substitute 1/2c water for 1/2c milk (but of course it's best as indicated). The variations sound interesting, and I definitely should try them sometime. :)
I've enjoyed this a few times now.Thanks for adding all the variations. I just tried the banana variation and it made it creamy and rich (very filling).Thanks Swissms. for another great recipe.

Just about everybody gets hit. The point is how you react when you are hit. In the fans minds and more importantly in Khan's mind this will always be there. No one will forget what happens when Khan gets hit. If Khan continues in boxing he will be hit. No matter what he changes, all this will remain the same.

I think his arrogance has something to do with it. He seems to overlook most of his opponents and think he will beat them easy. He can only blame himself for his downturn in career. If he could get with manny steward and use his jab he would be better. But he cannot defend himself and has so many childish flaws its shocking he even made this much money and won a few titles.

You mean............
You meant to say NECK/MAIN ARTERY perhaps. His brain was disconnected from his body and he never recovered; it was a freaky and unlucky situation that could happen to any fighter BUT Khan needs work and this is a good thread.

We cant sya Khan should have had his right hand guarding his chin because he was throwing a punch. No fighter can throw a right hand and still block their chin with the right glove. His technique may have room for improvement but everyone is vulnerable when punching.
Him and Chisora made the same mistake when opening up and got caught by left hooks. If you watch the two punches Khan landed beofre the 1st KD they were weak shots. What was he doing throwing them in the 1st place.
Also did anyone notice Kenny Bayliss let him have 20 seconds to recover? He went down at 0.28 and by the time they let Garcia back at him it was 0.08

khan was throwing a right uppercut to start off his combination when he was caught. garcia timed him perfectly and knew when to throw the counter left hook at that point. khan's offense is garbage and overrated. he doesn't know how to mix it up and relies to much on speed by simply moving his hands fast in front of him.

all in all, khan is and always has been at best a B level fighter, with an A level heart and D level defense. his own mind and the minds of others on his team make him out to be this world class fighter, but sooner or later he is gonna have to realize he is not world class and never will be. he can switch trainers and game plans and whatever else he wants. he is limited by what he can do in there. his arrogance is going to get him hurt, and I hope he realizes where he stands in boxing and does not try and move up and fight guys that can seriously end his career. he has some skills, he just doesnt have what it takes to be on top. he should accept that and go from there...

At least we can all agree that there's never a dull moment with amir khan no matter who he faces there's always a chance he's gonna get koed, I can see him fighting brook or malignaggi at 147 but let's not forget malignaggi has a higher ko % than pacquiao at 147 so I see malignaggi winning in round 1 by brutal ko

Editorial Reviews
I love the whole premise of this series. The sisters are the last remaining descendant of Vlad Dracule. This one really stood out, Although this isn't the first novel I've read about vampires, the story is definitely unique and well done. Plus it has that whole sible rivalry going on, which is something that I can't get enough of for some reason. Things definitely get heated when you add a cute guy.

I like this twist on the Romanian Dracula lore. Gow stays true to Romania's view of Dracula. A MUST READ!
My book club did a marathon Kailin Gow read this month. She killed it with this book. Not only is she prolific but her books are so good, they win awards. Results speaks and she has them.
One of my favorite authors. Kailin Gow can write anything and I'll buy it.
Fun and entertaining!
A vampire fan Must Read!
The Stoker Sisters is the vampire story with a new bite! Vampires can walk in the sun and shift into animals. This is the tale of two sisters who are the descents of Dracula himself and turmoil this relation brings to their life. The closeness of the sister's age causes a realistic tension and competition. As the first book in the series and my first Kailin Gow book, I enjoyed the novel, but would actually rate it 3 and 1/2 stars. The beginning was a little slow for me and having two sisters of my own, I had a difficult time initially relating to the both girls fawning over Ashwin. However, by the end of the novel I could not wait to read the next one in the series to discover what is going to happen. I recommend this book for anyone who loves vampires, romance and young romance.

Nick Waterhouse at the Detroit Bar Last Saturday Night
Nick Waterhouse
Matt Oliver
Nick Waterhouse & The Tarots
Detroit Bar
Dec. 3, 2011
With his Costa Mesa debut, Nick Waterhouse rocked out to a full house with his vintage R&B. With songs like "Indian Love Call," "Say I Wanna Know" and "Don't You Forget," Waterhouse had the crowd in a daze. Everyone was tapping their toes and skirts were swinging to every beat. It was as if we were at a sock hop in Orange County.
Matt Oliver
Waterhouse was backed by what he called the "baddest band," The Tarots. The Tarots consist of two saxophonists, two back up singers, a tambourine player, a pianist and a drummer, and they performed with vintage equipment and tube amps exclusively.
They took the stage in style; guys wore spiffy suits, while the ladies wore vintage tops and spandex bottoms. The only thing missing was a smoke filled parlor, where big band acts used play.

Waterhouse showcased his new EP Is That Clear. From beginning to end, the crowd was engaged and full of energy.
The music was a bitter sweet taste of times past. Waterhouse's iconic rock & roll yell transitioned well into his rocking guitar solos. His horn section filled out his sound.
In the middle of his set, he shared his story of moving back to Hollywood and having to settle for an apartment in Chinatown and working 30 hour weeks. He then introduced his band and each member did a rocking solo.
Paige Sargent, one of Waterhouse's back up singers and one half of The Naturelles, led a song called It's "Your Voodoo Working," a high point of the performance. Her voodoo was clearly working on the crowd; Sargent's talent rivals that of Darlene Love and Sandy Posey.
Nick Waterhouse puts on a hell of a show. Be sure to watch out for his debut LP, which will be released on Innovative Leisure in April.
Matt Oliver
Critics Bias: I listen to trance and dubstep. However, watching Nick Waterhouse made me want to give R&B a chance again. Waterhouse is the real deal.
The Crowd: Hipsters in their twenties and thirties.

Kurt von Wessely, also Curt von Wessely, (German pronunciation: [kʊʁt fɔn vɛsəlɪ]; d. 25 October 1917), was an Austrian tennis player who was active during the beginning of the 20th century.
In July 1905 he played for the Austrian Davis Cup team in a semifinal match against Australasia. The match was played on the grass courts at the Queen's Club, London, England and was won 5–0 by Australasia. Von Wessely lost his singles match against Tony Wilding in four sets and his match against Norman Brookes in three straight sets.[1][2]
Von Wessely participated in the Wimbledon Championships in 1903 and 1907 and on both occasions lost his first round match. At the time players who were defeated in the first or second rounds of the singles competition were entitled to compete for the All England Plate. In 1907 he reached the final of that competition in which he lost in two straight sets to future four–time Wimbledon champion Anthony Wilding from New Zealand.[3]
In 1901 and 1903 von Wessely reached the singles final at the Austrian Championship, played in Prague but on both occasions lost in straight sets to Major Ritchie. In 1909 he again reached the singles final and this time won the title, defeating compatriot Fritz Pipes in three straight sets.
In August 1904 he reached the challenge round of the German International Championships in Hamburg and was beaten once more by Ritchie, this time in straight sets.[4][5] In July 1905 Von Wessely won the Franzensbad tournament, through a walkover in the final against his compatriot Rolf Kinzl, and the following Marienbad tournament.[6] In September 1908 he won the singles title of the Championships of the Suisse Romande in Territet. In the final he defeated R. Norris Williams in three straight sets.
During World War I he became a lieutenant in the cavalry until a gunshot wound in the arm prevented further active duty. He died on 25 October 1917 in Vienna as a result of complications of this wound.[7]

If the Penguins are planning to rescue themselves from the State of Oblivion, Crosby might find it necessary to get Malkin and Petr Sykora alone in a room and bang their heads together a few times; followed by a simple, declarative sentence: "I WANT YOU GUYS TO PLAY AS HARD AS I AM, AND BROOKS ORPIK IS."
and more thoughts from Stan Fischler at Game On
Update 8:16pm ET: At ESPN, Scott Burnside takes a more tempered look at Malkin's performance woes.

- 'Psychological behaviorism is associationism without appeal to mental events.'
- 'The Romantic conception of the self was an outgrowth of Kant's critique of associationism.'

The #1 New York Times–bestselling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race.
For readers of Unbroken, out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.
It was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington's eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys' own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man's personal quest.

Read an Excerpt
In a sport like this—hard work, not much glory, but still popular in every century—well, there must be some beauty which ordinary men can't see, but extraordinary men do. —George Yeoman Pocock
This book was born on a cold, drizzly, late spring day when I clambered over the split-rail cedar fence that surrounds my pasture and made my way through wet woods to the modest frame house where Joe Rantz lay dying.
I knew only two things about Joe when I knocked on his daughter Judy's door that day. I knew that in his midseventies he had single-handedly hauled a number of cedar logs down a mountain, then hand-split the rails and cut the posts and installed all 2,224 linear feet of the pasture fence I had just climbed over—a task so herculean I shake my head in wonderment whenever I think about it. And I knew that he had been one of nine young men from the state of Washington—farm boys, fishermen, and loggers—who shocked both the rowing world and Adolf Hitler by winning the gold medal in eight-oared rowing at the 1936 Olympics.
When Judy opened the door and ushered me into her cozy living room, Joe was stretched out in a recliner with his feet up, all six foot three of him. He was wearing a gray sweat suit and bright red, down-filled booties. He had a thin white beard. His skin was sallow, his eyes puffy—results of the congestive heart failure from which he was dying. An oxygen tank stood nearby. A fire was popping and hissing in the woodstove. The walls were covered with old family photos. A glass display case crammed with dolls and porcelain horses and rose-patterned china stood against the far wall. Rain flecked a window that looked out into the woods. Jazz tunes from the thirties and forties were playing quietly on the stereo.
Judy introduced me, and Joe offered me an extraordinarily long, thin hand. Judy had been reading one of my books aloud to Joe, and he wanted to meet me and talk about it. As a young man, he had, by extraordinary coincidence, been a friend of Angus Hay Jr.—the son of a person central to the story of that book. So we talked about that for a while. Then the conversation began to turn to his own life.
His voice was reedy, fragile, and attenuated almost to the breaking point. From time to time he faded into silence. Slowly, though, with cautious prompting from his daughter, he began to spin out some of the threads of his life story. Recalling his childhood and his young adulthood during the Great Depression, he spoke haltingly but resolutely about a series of hardships he had endured and obstacles he had overcome, a tale that, as I sat taking notes, at first surprised and then astonished me.
But it wasn't until he began to talk about his rowing career at the University of Washington that he started, from time to time, to cry. He talked about learning the art of rowing, about shells and oars, about tactics and technique. He reminisced about long, cold hours on the water under steel-gray skies, about smashing victories and defeats narrowly averted, about traveling to Germany and marching under Hitler's eyes into the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, and about his crewmates. None of these recollections brought him to tears, though. It was when he tried to talk about "the boat" that his words began to falter and tears welled up in his bright eyes.
At first I thought he meant the Husky Clipper, the racing shell in which he had rowed his way to glory. Or did he mean his teammates, the improbable assemblage of young men who had pulled off one of rowing's greatest achievements? Finally, watching Joe struggle for composure over and over, I realized that "the boat" was something more than just the shell or its crew. To Joe, it encompassed but transcended both—it was something mysterious and almost beyond definition. It was a shared experience—a singular thing that had unfolded in a golden sliver of time long gone, when nine good-hearted young men strove together, pulled together as one, gave everything they had for one another, bound together forever by pride and respect and love. Joe was crying, at least in part, for the loss of that vanished moment but much more, I think, for the sheer beauty of it.
As I was preparing to leave that afternoon, Judy removed Joe's gold medal from the glass case against the wall and handed it to me. While I was admiring it, she told me that it had vanished years before. The family had searched Joe's house high and low but had finally given it up as lost. Only many years later, when they were remodeling the house, had they finally found it concealed in some insulating material in the attic. A squirrel had apparently taken a liking to the glimmer of the gold and hidden the medal away in its nest as a personal treasure. As Judy was telling me this, it occurred to me that Joe's story, like the medal, had been squirreled away out of sight for too long.
I shook Joe's hand again and told him I would like to come back and talk to him some more, and that I'd like to write a book about his rowing days. Joe grasped my hand again and said he'd like that, but then his voice broke once more and he admonished me gently, "But not just about me. It has to be about the boat."
What People are saying about this
- Mitchell Zuckoff, author of Lost in Shangri-La and Frozen in Time
"In 1936 nine working-class American boys burst from their small towns into the international limelight, unexpectedly wiping the smile off Adolph Hitler's face by beating his vaunted German team to capture the Olympic gold medal. Daniel James Brown has written a robust, emotional snapshot of an era, a book you will recommend to your best friends.
James Bradley, author of Flags of our Fathers and Flyboys
"I really can't rave enough about this book. Daniel James Brown has not only captured the hearts and souls of the University of Washington rowers who raced in the 1936 Olympics, he has conjured up an era of history. Brown's evocation of Seattle in the Depression years is dazzling, his limning of character, especially the hardscrabble hero Joe Rantz, is novelistic, his narration of the boat races and the sinister-exalted atmosphere of Berlin in 1936 is cinematic. I read the last fifty pages with white knuckles, and the last twenty-five with tears in my eyes. History, sports, human interest, weather, suspense, design, physics, oppression and inspiration The Boats in the Boat has it all and Brown does full justice to his terrific material. This is Chariots of Fire with oars."
David Laskin, author of The Children's Blizzard and The Long Way Home
"A lovingly crafted saga of sweat and idealism that raised goosebumps from the first page. I was enthralled by the story's play of light and shadow, of mortality and immortality, and its multidimensional recreation of the pursuit of excellence. This meditation on human frailty and possibility sneaks up on you until it rushes past with the speed of an eight-oared boat."
Laurence Bergreen, author of Columbus and Over the Edge of the World
"The Boys in the Boat is an exciting blend of history and Olympic sport. I was drawn in as much by the personal stories as I was by the Olympic glory. A must read for anyone looking to be inspired!"
Luke McGee, USA Rowing Men's National Team Coach
"The Boys in the Boat is not only a great and inspiring true story; it is a fascinating work of history."
Nathaniel Philbrick, author of Mayflower and In the Heart of the Sea
"A lovingly crafted saga of sweat and idealism that raised goosebumps from the first page.

- Laurence Bergreen, author of Columbus and Over the Edge of the World
"For years I've stared and wondered about the old wooden boat resting on the top rack of the UW boathouse. I knew the names of the men that rowed it but never really knew who they were. After reading this book, I feel like I got to relive their journey and witness what it was truly like earning a seat in that Pocock shell. The passion and determination showed by Joe and the rest of the boys in the boat are what every rower aspires to. I will never look at that wooden boat the same again."
- Mary Whipple, Olympic gold medal–winning coxswain, women's eight-oared crew, 2008 and 2012
"Daniel Brown's book tells the dramatic story of the crew that set the stage for Seattle emerging as a world-class city. Their lives define the tradition that is still University of Washington rowing today."
- Bob Ernst, director of rowing, University of Washington

If I told you one of the most propulsive reads you will experience this year is the non-fiction story of eight rowers and one coxswain training to attend the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, you may not believe me. But you'd need to back up your opinion by reading this book first, and you will thank me for it. Daniel James Brown has done something extraordinary here. We may already know the outcome of that Olympic race, but the pacing is exceptional. Brown juxtaposes descriptions of crew training in Seattle with national races against the IV League in Poughkeepsie; we see developments in a militarizing Germany paired with college competitions in depression-era United States; individual portraits of the "boys" (now dead) are placed alongside cameos of their coaches; he shares details of the early lives of a single oarsman, Joe Rantz, with details of his wife's parallel experiences. The 1936 Olympics in Berlin was the stuff of legend, when Jesse Owens swept four gold medals in field and track, but a Washington crew team won that summer also, against great odds. How that victory took place and how a group of great athletes became great competitors is something Daniel James Brown spent five years trying to articulate. Quotes from George Pocock, crafter of cedar shells, head each chapter, sharing his experience watching individual oarsmen become a team.
As a rower familiar with the '36 Olympics, I was drawn to the book out of a general interest; but I have to say it is exceptionally well written in how it puts together the characters and tells a story well beyond the world of crew. This book is going to be a best seller. If you have a chance, pick up a great coffee table book about George Pocock: Ready All Row. It sheds even more light on this central character and his accomplishments.
If all stories about rowing were written like Daniel Brown's fabulous multi-level biography, I would read every one of them. This is a wonderful account, told with such detail and precision that I sometimes felt as if I were in this tale. Mr. Brown totally sucked me into his adventure. These young men who rowed for the USA in the 1936 Olympics faced huge obstacles. It was the Depression. Many were dirt-poor. They came from a small (then) and nondescript town of Seattle. They could not have had more difficult problems thrown their way. But by taking every sliver of hope, and mixing in superb craftsmanship (from George Pocock), excellent coaching (Al Ulbrickson), and these nine perfectly attuned young men learning together........the result was perfection. This is a true Team sport. I am not giving away anything by telling you that they DO win Gold at the 1936 Olympics. It is HOW they did it that is so darn exciting. Even knowing the end result does not diminish this bigger than life adventure. This is a must read, period. Many of the old luminaries of American rowing are in this story, the good, the bad, and the legendary, including Hiram Conibear, Tom Bolles, Al Ulbrickson and George Pocock. The story of the Pocock racing shell, which was still the best racing boat in the US when I started rowing, is detailed, along with the life story of George Pocock, his personality, and his contributions to Washington crews. This is an inspirational story, one that will lift you up, and it is wonderful, not only because Brown is a great writer, but because it is true.
One of the best books, if not the best, I've read this year. High School History teachers should read and recommend this book to their students.
A riveting read! I had no idea of the tough training and total dedication this sport requires of the rowers. This biography of Joe Rantz , one of the rowers, told the incredible story of the very tough life situations he had to overcome from an early age and repeatedly throughout his life. A very well written book which I highly recommend!
Loved the book....Great insight to the athlete as well as the Coach....In additiin to the historical signifigance tgat was not ignored... must read by rowers and their familiy....
The 1936 Olympics may be best remembered for Jesse Owens winning gold medals, by nine young men from the University of Washington rowing team also had their moment of Olympic history at those games as well. Their story, from the time they were a rag-tag bunch of college freshmen to a polished team representing America in Nazi Germany, is well-documented in this outstanding book by Daniel James Brown. The book is driven by personal stories, especially that of Joe Rentz, a young boy whose father and stepmother abandoned him and his siblings during the Great Depression. Left to fend on his own, Joe was able to keep the family alive and also find a way to the University of Washington, where he was part of a seemingly rag-tag bunch of young men thrown together to form the freshman rowing crew. These young men became a team through hard work, camaraderie, excellent coaching, and a lot of perseverance. The research on this team – everything from the results to the coaches to the lives of the young men – is outstanding. Much of the knowledge came from accounts provided by either the team members or their surviving family members. Painstaking detail is written for some of these stories, such as the courtship of Joe and his future wife Joyce, the conditions the team endured in Poughkeepsie during the regatta championships (Washington became the first school to sweep the three events – varsity, junior varsity and freshman), and the experiences they each shared during their time in Berlin at the Olympics. The events of the time shaped how this team would be viewed at the Olympics, and the author does a good job of writing about the history of that time without getting too deep. The references made to the rise of the Nazis, the Dust Bowl gripping the country and the effects of the Great Depression all are important to the story but do not take away from the central theme – namely the nine young men from the University of Washington rowing team. Every aspect of the book is well researched, well written and told in the proper amount of detail. This was an inspiring tale and a book that kept my interest from beginning to end. An outstanding read that anyone will enjoy.
Inspirational, motivational - All around well written - Great book
A narrative of the development of the Olympic Gold winning crew of 1938. Excellent information on the sport and its intracacies with the depression years' impact on the country and one of the crew as he developed from college freshman crew to the varsity and then, with the crew, the Olympics. The narrative is narrowly focussed upon the topic at hand. I recommend either experience in the sport or an academic interest in it as a prerequisite. Nicely written.
Wonderful story, wonderfully told. Am in my 3rd season rowing as an adult, with a coach who rowed at Washington, so was interested in the history. But was delighted that the book is more about the rowers and the time. Really enjoyed the author's style, voice and details. Will look for more
Skeptical if this book would be worth the read. How do you turn a six minute event into a book worth reading? Brown does, and does it extremely well.
This is a truly great book. It is filled with rich descriptions. It is truly inspirational. Two thumbs up.
First off I have never written a review..read many books but have not been this moved in a long time! Don't let subject turn you off..sooo much more to this great book!!
Interesting story surrounded by some very tedious chapters.
I enjoyed the way the author set the stage for the story, talking about what things were like in Seattle and in the country as a result of the depression, as well as how events in Joe's life led to his involvement in rowing. Information about Hitler's Germany and the preparations for the Olympics are deftly woven in as well. You can almost feel the chill of the wet, cold practice days, and smell the cedar as George Pocock works on his racing shells. The team faced obstacles I wouldn't have thought about in their campaign for an Olympic medal. In the end it's is a stellar example of what can happen when people work together - the crew in the boat and all those who helped them in their quest.
Many of the customer reviews call this one of the best, most inspirational books they have ever read. THEY ARE RIGHT!
This is the best book I've read in years. Daniel Brown does an amazing job of telling this story, from the opening interview to the epilogue. It was very difficult putting the book down when I absolutely had to go to sleep or eat or get to work. It was good to learn about the "boys" as well as the coaches and the building and builder of the boats. I'm thankful that this story has come to light. USA! USA! USA!
Extraordinary book! Reads like a "can't put down" novel. Even when you know what's going to happen! I was rowing with them in the boat. The writing, the story, the characters are all awe inspiring. Don't understand why this book is not at the top of all lists. Oh wait, It's not about vampires.
I became quite connected to the people in this book and really didn't want to put book down. Loved all the historical tidbits, especially since our family are UW graduates and life residents of Washington state.
A truly exceptional telling of the coming together of 9 young men. An engrossing read that involves in you deeply into the life of one of the main characters, Joe Rantz. I never expected to be so engrossed in a book about, of all things, crew rowing.
The main character in Boys in the Boat is Joe Rantz, who is trying out for the crew team at the University of Washington, a highly esteemed college. Joe was born into a very poor family and when he was very little his mom died causing his father to become depressed. Joe's father remarried and moved his family to Sequim, Washington but later decided to move away because his malevolent, new wife did not like life there and also did not like Joe so she and Joe's dad left both of them behind in Sequim. Fending for himself in the city of Sequim shaped Joe into an independent, adroit man. One of Joe's major conflicts is the internal conflict over relying on his teammates to achieve victory because he was used to working to achieve what he wanted individually after being abandoned. Joe ends up trying to move the boat as an individual rather than working with his team putting the boat's swing in jeopardy. Another conflict is the Washingtion crew team against the California crew team. At this point in history it becomes obvious that the West is producing the best crews but the question is which one of them will be the creme de la creme. A major plot event in the rising action was the Washington Wictory at the 1934 Poughkeepsie Regatta when the freshmen crew that Joe was in seemed to effortlessly win their race. Another one was when the all sophmore varsity boat narrowly beat California at the Regatta against Berkley because this showed how evenly matched the West was. In the beginning of the book I disliked how much time the author spent describing what post WWI looked like in Washington because it added to much unnecessary information such as on page 8 when they said "tugboats belching plumes of black smoke nosed long rafts of longs into the locks that would raise them to the level of Lake Washington." I liked how the book was into sections based on the crew seasons they went through because it made the book feel very organized. I liked how the author put a quote before each chapter because it helps in showing wheat will be learned by characters in the chapter; fir example, at the beginning of chapter five the author quoted George Yeomen Peacock "Rowing is perhaps the toughest of sports. Once the race starts, there are not time-outs, no substitutions. It calls upon the limits of human endurance." I would recommend this book because it will inspire you to achieve something you want after reading what these penniless boys from twentieth century Seattle did. Also, it is a great was to learn about how Germany exposed itself to the world as a friendly, just nation. Lastly, it is neat to read about one of the long journeys most athletes we watch in the Olympics have to go through.
A page turner even though you know the ending.
I am a fan of true stories. I didn't think this was a book I was going to like but since it came highly recommended by a friend, I thought I would give it a try. What a surprise!! I LOVED this book. Could not put it down. Besides the enjoyment, I learned a lot about rowing and what it takes to be a crew member. That was a sport I never paid much attention to. The author also researched and interviewed the main character in depth. It was personal, informing and interesting. I highly recommend this book.
Never would have just picked up this book to read, but a friend recommended it. I trusted her and am so glad I did. Well written. The "boys" come alive and their quest becomes palpable. Will engage you from start to breathless finish.
This book vividly describes the personal challenges of the 30's in the USA, the growing power of Nazi Germany while providing a gripping account of competitive rowing.
