Total Basketball: The Ultimate Basketball Encyclopedia
“If you don’t own a copy, you can hardly refer to yourself as a fan.” –Sam Amico, InsideHoops.com

The Everything Guide to Understanding Philosophy
“A wise man once wrote that the good teacher is one who can reveal the greatness in the simple things and the simple basics in the most complex of things. Dr. Kenneth Shouler does just that with his “Everything Guide to Understanding Philosophy.” I wish I had this book available several years ago when I taught philosophy students at universities and colleges. With a breezy style of writing, Shouler relates to the modern world the heart and core of the contributions of the giants in the field of philosophy. In short, he makes the subject live for students. Indeed, it’s a most valuable tool for any teacher or professor in the field. A must read.” –John McCollister, Ph.D., Amazon.com
The Business Playbook: Leadership Lessons from the World of Sports
“I was lucky enough to read this book after the CEO of my company asked me to purchase it and write him a quick synopsis. It was a quick but powerful read and by the end of that same weekend my senses were ablaze with newly kindled hope and inspiration!” –Reviewer on Amazon.com
“The Business Playbook is hands down the best motivational book I have ever read! Anyone who reads this book will take at least one valuable lesson that they could use in both their business and personal life!” –John Georgallis on Amazon.com
The Real 100 Best Baseball Players of All-time and Why
“In 320 pages you are blessed by the author’s ability to not only give you the best 100, but also show you why they are the best. The book is broken down into the 75 best players and the 25 best pitchers, and for the first time someone is right on track. Using statistics rather than popularity, Shouler shows how Babe Ruth really is the best of all time. I read this book in just over two hours and have re-read it several times since. A fascinating piece of work and one of the most complete books I have ever read.” –Michael J. Woznicki on Amazon.com
The Experts Pick Basketball’s Best 50 Players in the Last 50 Years
“Any time an “all-time” list is compiled, no matter how it’s done, it won’t be met with unanimous approval. To his credit, Shouler isn’t looking for that kind of response. What he tries to do, and is successful at, is create an intelligent discussion about players in the classic “Mays versus Mantle” fashion, while calling on the observations of those who observed or played with those players for their analysis.” –Fast Break Magazine, Phoenix, January, 1997
