In those seasons he accounted for 24 wins, pitching for a team that finished annually in last place. He also won 20 games for the Louisville Colonels in one season of his tenure with them, from 1923-1927. Holley was the son of a farmer from Benton, Marshall County, Kentucky.

First published in 1963, Eight Men Out has become a timeless classic. Eliot Asinof has reconstructed the entire scene-by-scene story of the fantastic scandal in which eight Chicago White Sox players arranged with the nation's leading gamblers to throw the Series in Cincinnati. Mr. Asinof vividly describes the tense meetings, the hitches in the conniving, the actual plays in which the Series was thrown, the Grand Jury indictment, and the famous 1921 trial. Moving behind the scenes, he perceptively examines the motives and backgrounds of the players and the conditions that made the improbable fix all too possible. Here, too, is a graphic picture of the American underworld that managed the fix, the deeply shocked newspapermen who uncovered the story, and the war-exhausted nation that turned with relief and pride to the Series, only to be rocked by the scandal. Far more than a superbly told baseball story, this is a compelling slice of American history in the aftermath of World War I and at the cusp of the Roaring Twenties.",4.04761,4.0,$9.99,250 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/eight-men-out/id431242832?mt=11

But for a man like the Babe, for whom the phrase “larger than life” seems to have been coined, those millions of words have created a mythologized legacy. Who was the real Babe Ruth? Relying on exhaustive research and interviews with teammates, family members, and friends, historian Robert W. Creamer separates fact from fiction and paints an honest and fascinating portrait of the slugger. This is the definitive biography of a man who was, in legend and in truth, the best who ever lived.“The best biography ever written about an American sports figure.” —Sports Illustrated “The first really adult biography of the Babe, as well as one of the best, and least sentimental, books about a great sports figure ever written.” —Time “Perhaps the best portrait yet struck of an American sports hero.” —Roger Angell, The New York TimesRobert W. Creamer (1922–2012) was one of the most distinguished American sportswriters of the last half-century. When Sports Illustrated was founded in 1954, Creamer was one of the first writers added to its masthead. In the late ’60s he began work on a definitive biography of Babe Ruth, whom Creamer had seen as a boy in the stands at Yankee Stadium, when the great player was in his decline. After five years’ work he released Babe, which is still called one of the greatest American sports biographies of all time. In 1984 he published a biography of Casey Stengel, the only man to have worn the uniforms of all four New York ball clubs. Despite retiring in 1984, Creamer continued to write for Sports Illustrated and provide commentary for historical sports documentaries.

The Boston Red Sox. For a hundred years, no two teams have locked horns as fiercely or as frequently – and no two seasons frame the colossal battle more perfectly than 2003 and 2004. Now, with incredible energy and access, leading sports columnist Mike Vaccaro chronicles the history of the greatest rivalry in sports, and the two stunning American League Championship Series that define a century of baseball.October 17, 2003: A night no Yankees or Red Sox fan will ever forget. At 12:15 am, bottom of the eleventh inning of game seven of the ALCS, New York third-baseman Aaron Boone launches a ball over Yankee Stadium’s left-field fence. The Yankees win their 39th pennant – and send the perennially vexed Boston Red Sox home . . . again . . . suffering another devastating loss to their longtime nemesis.October 20, 2004: A year later, an eerie reprise – but this time things are different. After losing three straight to the Yankees, Boston has charged back to win the next three, forcing a decisive game seven. From the start of the game Boston is in control, and by winning this game they march toward their first World Series victory since 1918. These two explosive years define an extraordinary, epic rivalry – from Mariano Rivera and Roger Clemens to Pedro Martinez and Curt Schilling, Derek Jeter and Aaron Boone to David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez, from nearly a century of Yankee domination to the undisputed breaking of “The Curse.” With the razor-sharp instincts that have made him a top sports journalist, Mike Vaccaro delves into the history of the rollicking rivalry: a vicious collision in 1903 (between the New York Highlanders and Boston Pilgrims) that draws first blood; the era of Babe Ruth and his legendary trade from the Red Sox to the Yankees, ushering in the notorious Curse; the golden age of DiMaggio and Williams; the unstoppable power of Mantle and Maris; the heart and soul of Fisk and Yazstremski versus Pinella and Munson; and the modern era of dueling owners, skyrocketing payrolls, and a renewed rivalry that attracts sell-out crowds even to Yankees-Red Sox spring training games.EMPERORS AND IDIOTS is as lively, fascinating, and raucous as the teams themselves – a must-have volume for any Yankees or Red Sox fan.From the Trade Paperback edition.",,0.0,$11.99,416 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/emperors-and-idiots/id420770308?mt=11

During his thirteen seasons with the New York Yankees, he played in ten World Series and won nine world championships. For his career, he was a two-time batting champion, three-time Most Valuable Player, hit 361 home runs, and maintained a .325 batting average. His fifty-six-consecutive-game batting streak in 1941 has yet to be broken. DiMaggio's baseball career began in 1932 when he filled in at shortstop at midseason for a minor league team. In 1934 he became the property of the New York Yankees, which marked the beginning of his road toward greatness in the nation's most famous city on one of the most hallowed fields in the sport. Off the field, his life was marked by a famous marriage to and divorce from Marilyn Monroe, a late-1960s popular song, and a somewhat unhappy retirement. On baseball's one hundredth anniversary in 1969, he was voted the greatest living player of the game, and the Yankees erected a plaque to him among the memorials to Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. On March 8, 1999, at the age of eighty-four, DiMaggio died after a five-month battle with cancer. In I Remember Joe DiMaggio, dozens of the great ballplayer's contemporaries, teammates, coaches, fans, friends, and relatives recall their favorite memories and anecdotes of this man who became an icon of America.

The year is famous, but most fans know very little about the season.
During that tumultuous summer, the Great War in Europe cast an ominous shadow over the national game, as enlistments and the draft wreaked havoc with every team's roster. Players and owners fought bitterly over contracts and revenue, the parks were infested with gamblers, and the Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs almost called off the World Series. And a Boston player known as The Colossus -- 23-year-old Babe Ruth -- began his historic transformation from pitching ace to the game's greatest slugger.
Wood also poses a chilling question: Was the 1918 World Series fixed?
Sports Illustrated called the book ""an entertaining and exhaustive account of a tumultuous season"" and Robert W. Creamer, author of the definitive biography of Ruth, said ""Mr. Wood has lit upon one of the most turbulent and important and at the same time least known years in baseball history.

He is close to eclipsing the winning records of two of the greatest pitchers to have played the game, yet few realize the full measure of his success. That his career can be characterized by such words as dependability and consistency defies all odds because he has achieved this with baseball’s most mercurial weapon—the knuckleball. Knuckler is the story of how a struggling position player bet his future on a fickle pitch that would define his career. The pitch may drive hitters crazy, but how does the pitcher stay sane? The moment Wakefield adopted the knuckleball, his career sought to answer that question. With the Red Sox, Wakefield began to master his pitch only to find himself on the mound in 2003 for one of the worst post-season losses in history, followed the next year by one of the most vindicating of championships. Even now, as Wakefield battles, we see the twists and turns of a major league career pushed to its ultimate extreme. A remarkable story of one player’s success despite being the exception to every rule, Knuckler is also a lively meditation on the dancing pitch, its history, its mystique, and all the ironies it brings to bear.",4.05263,4.0,$9.99,288 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/knuckler/id427269778?mt=11

834703902,Called Out but Safe,Al Clark,UNP - Nebraska,"May 01, 2014",The Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska,A Baseball Umpire's Journey,"If an umpire could steal the show in a Major League game, Al Clark might well have been the one to do it. Tough but fair, in his thirty years as a professional umpire he took on some of baseball’s great umpire baiters, such as Earl Weaver, Billy Martin, and Dick Williams, while ejecting any number of the game’s elite—once tearing a hamstring in the process. He was the first Jewish umpire in American League history, and probably the first to eject his own father from the officials’ dressing room. But whatever Clark was doing—officiating at Nolan Ryan’s three hundredth win, Cal Ripken’s record breaker, or the “earthquake” World Series of 1989, or braving a labor dispute, an anti-Semitic tirade by a Cy Young Award winner, or a legal imbroglio—it makes for a good story.

394347853,Campy,Neil Lanctot,Simon & Schuster,"Mar 08, 2011",Simon and Schuster Digital Sales Inc.,The Two Lives of Roy Campanella,"Neil Lanctot’s biography of Hall of Fame catcher Roy Campanella—filled with surprises—is the first life of the Dodger great in decades and the most authoritative ever published. Born to a father of Italian descent and an African- American mother, Campanella wanted to be a ballplayer from childhood but was barred by color from the major leagues. He dropped out of school to play professional ball with the Negro Leagues’ Washington (later Baltimore) Elite Giants, where he honed his skills under Hall of Fame catcher Biz Mackey. Campy played eight years in the Negro Leagues until the major leagues integrated. Ironically, he and not Jackie Robinson might have been the player to integrate baseball, as Lanctot reveals. An early recruit to Branch Rickey’s “Great Experiment” with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Campy became the first African-American catcher in the twentieth century in the major leagues. As Lanctot discloses, Campanella and Robinson, pioneers of integration, had a contentious relationship, largely as a result of a dispute over postseason barnstorming. Campanella was a mainstay of the great Dodger teams that consistently contended for pennants in the late 1940s and 1950s. He was a three-time MVP, an outstanding defensive catcher, and a powerful offensive threat. But on a rainy January night in 1958, all that changed. On his way home from his liquor store in Harlem, Campy lost control of his car, hit a utility pole, and was paralyzed below the neck. Lanctot reveals how Campanella’s complicated personal life (he would marry three times) played a role in the accident. Campanella would now become another sort of pioneer, learning new techniques of physical therapy under the celebrated Dr. Howard Rusk at his Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. As he gradually recovered some limited motion, Campanella inspired other athletes and physically handicapped people everywhere. Based on interviews with dozens of people who knew Roy Campanella and diligent research into contemporary sources, Campy offers a three-dimensional portrait of this gifted athlete and remarkable man whose second life after baseball would prove as illustrious and courageous as his first.",4.0,4.0,$14.99,528 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/campy/id394347853?mt=11

In Derek Jeter: A New York Yankees Legend, Newsday columnists and photographers chronicle the most compelling moments of the Yankee shortstop’s storied career from the day he was drafted in 1992. Born in New Jersey and raised in Michigan, Jeter’s fate was sealed when he boldly announced to his fourth-grade class that he would one day become shortstop for the New York Yankees. Showing early promise, the New York Yankees drafted Jeter right out of high school in 1992 and he made his debut in the Majors in 1995. During his first full season in 1996, Jeter was named Rookie of the Year and helped the Yankees win the World Series for the first time in 18 years. He would go on to win World Series championships in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2009.

Helmed by the sagacious Casey Stengel and staffed by the league’s detritus, the new Mets played 162 games and lost 120 of them, making them statistically the worst team in the sport’s modern history. It’s possible they were even worse than that. Starring such legends as Marvin Throneberry—a first baseman so inept that his nickname had to be “Marvelous”—the Mets lost with swashbuckling panache. In an era when the fun seemed to have gone out of sports, the Mets came to life in a blaze of delightful, awe-inspiring ineptitude. They may have been losers, but a team this awful deserves to be remembered as legends. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Jimmy Breslin including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection. “The book that first put the name Jimmy Breslin in lights.” —New YorkDaily News “The Theater of the Absurd has not yet—by a country mile—produced anything like the Mets.” —The New York Times “A touching, enjoyable, and interesting addition to anybody’s sports reading list.” —Patrick Conway Jimmy Breslin (b. 1930) is a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist who has, for more than fifty years, been among the most prominent columnists in the United States. Born in Queens, New York, Breslin has worked in New York City newsrooms since the 1940s. He has been a columnist since 1963, when he won national attention by covering John F. Kennedy’s assassination from the emergency room in the Dallas Hospital and, later, from the point of view of the President’s gravedigger at Arlington Cemetery. He has run for citywide office on a secessionist platform, befriended and been beaten up by mobsters, and received letters from the Son of Sam during the serial killer’s infamous 1977 spree. Known as one of the best-informed journalists in the city, Breslin’s years of insightful reporting won him a Pulitzer in 1986, awarded for “columns which consistently champion ordinary citizens.” Although he stopped writing his weekly column for Newsday in 2004, Breslin still writes books, having produced nearly two dozen to date.

The New York Yankees are one of baseball's most iconic franchises and as much a part of New York as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. From Joe DiMaggio and Derek Jeter to Babe Ruth and Masahiro Tanaka, from Hall of Famers to rookie busts, the Yankees are baseball's most beloved franchise. Jim Kaat, who has the unique experience of playing for the Yankees as well as calling games for them in the booth, had a prime seat to watch it all unfold. In this book, Kaat and Greg Jennnings provide a closer look at the great moments and the lowlights that have made the Yankees one of baseball's keystone teams. Through the words of the players, via multiple interviews conducted with current and past Yankees, readers will meet the players, coaches, and management and share in their moments of greatness and defeat. Readers will find access to the clubhouse as Kaat recounts moments such as Jeter's last contest at Yankee Stadium; David Wells' perfect game; and the elation of the 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000 World Series championships.

Whatever promise or hope or grandeur dreams held by the franchise and its fans after a second place finish in its inaugural season in St. Louis was quickly replaced by this abysmal reality: the Browns were dead last in the eight-team American League ten times in 52 seasons.Then in 1954 the club began play in Baltimore and its new owners shed the ""Browns"" and every imaginable link to the club's past. It's not that the Orioles don't respect history ... it's that from the very beginning Baltimore was intent on making its own history.And to that end the franchise has been extraordinarily successful.In St. Louis, the Browns had more 100-loss seasons than any team in baseball history -- in Baltimore, it barely took Earl Weaver a decade to manage the Orioles to five 100-win seasons. In St. Louis, the Browns backed into one Pennant in five decades. In Baltimore, the Orioles built a powerhouse that dominated the better part of two decades and won six Pennants.There have been ups-and-downs obviously -- like every franchise -- and plenty of lean years to go with the championships, but with its successes and the many legends its produced since 1954, the Orioles have achieved the same ""status"" if you will as its division rivals New York and Boston as being one of baseball's truly great franchises.A virtual who's who of baseball royalty spent time playing in Baltimore -- from Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson and Jim Palmer, to Cal Ripken, Jr. and Eddie Murray, to today's superstars Chris Davis and Manny Machado. You can't discuss the game's greatest moments without including the Orioles. You can't tour the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown without seeing the influence of the Birds.This is a book of trivia and history. It's meant for diehard baseball fans, but whether or not you count yourself part of Orioles fandom is irrelevant, because the history of the Birds is inextricably linked with the history of baseball -- so sit back and reminisce with ten chapters of Baltimore Orioles history, baseball stories, and 200 brand new trivia questions that will wrack your brain and test your skills.

He was certainly one of the most successful. He managed the fabled New York Yankees from 1949 to 1960 and compiled ten American League pennants and seven world championships during that time. He was also without question one of the game's all-time characters, best known for conversing in a mangled form of English that came to be known as Stengelese."" Beyond the comedy and the world championships, however, his baseball life spanned the ages, from the dead-ball era to Astro Turf. He began his big league career by playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1912 and ended it by managing the hapless New York Mets in 1965. Between the first and last stop, Stengel was a World Series hero; a failed manager with the Brooklyn Dodgers and Boston Braves; a washed-up, aging manager in the minors; and the wacky interloper who took over the stuffy, staid Yankees in 1949 and reformed them into a dynasty. In Casey Stengel: Baseball's ""Old Perfessor, "" dozens of former players, friends, and associates recall the Stengel myth and the Stengel reality. They explore his managing style with great teams and with horrible teams; his pioneering, controversial techniques; his humor, his edginess, and his weaknesses; why some players hated him while others loved him; why some think he was a genius and others think he was merely the right man in the right place at the right time. What emerges is a fascinating ride through baseball history and a thoughtful look at the life of a man who was counted out, mocked, and underestimated--and yet he never gave up, finally finding success in his later years.",,0.0,$5.99,242 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/casey-stengel/id502517999?mt=11

In doing so, Gennaro addresses some key questions that affect how teams make decisions, how they assemble their roster, and ultimately, their bottom line:-How does winning affect revenues for each team?-How much value does a berth in the postseason generate for the Red Sox and Yankees?-What is the Yankees’ marginal revenue vs. marginal cost of winning?-What is the economic value of a highly productive Twins’ farm system?-Why is a player’s value “situational”, depending on the competitiveness of his team and the market in which he plays?-How much was Carlos Beltran worth to the Mets in 2006?-How can we quantify Derek Jeter’s “marquee value”…his ability to draw fans?-What is the relative cost of developing talent vs. buying it in the free agent market?-How can we quantify Nomar Garciaparra’s injury risk and its impact on his dollar value?-What is the dollar value of Cubs’ fans loyalty to their beloved team?-How have the Red Sox, Yankees and Cubs built their team as a brand?-How much Babe Ruth was worth to his Yankee teams of the 1920s and 1930s.?Baseball teams may have thought conceptually about some of these concepts, but Diamond Dollars gives them the math to measure the effectiveness of their thinking and practices.“Diamond Dollars provides an insightful look at the business of baseball—at the free agent market, teams’ scouting and player development systems, and how clubs market their brands. The book mixes Vince’s business acumen as a top executive at a Fortune 50 company with his passion for the national pastime.”--Mark Attanasio, Chairman and Principal Owner, Milwaukee Brewers“Vince Gennaro shows a profound understanding of the economics of a team’s baseball decisions. His analyses of a team’s win-revenue relationship, the player development system and player valuation, make for a remarkably innovative examination of the baseball front office model that’s just as informative for a baseball executive as for a fan.”--Chris Antonetti, General Manager, Cleveland Indians“Diamond Dollars offers up exciting and stimulating new ideas about the business of baseball.

Dee,"Apr 16, 2009",The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group,The Evolution of an American Folk Hero,"Today the baseball catcher is a familiar but uninspiring figure. Decked out in the so-called tools of ignorance, he stolidly goes about his duty without attracting much attention. But it wasn't always that way, as Peter Morris shows in this lively and original study. In baseball's early days, catchers stood a safe distance back of the batter. Then the introduction of the curveball in the 1870s led them to move up directly behind home plate, even though they still wore no gloves or protective equipment. Extraordinary courage became the catcher's most notable requirement, but the new positioning also demanded that the catcher have lightning-fast reflexes, great hands, and a cannon for a throwing arm. With so great a range of needed skills, a special mystique came to surround the position, and it began to seem that a good catcher could single-handedly make the difference between winning and losing.",,0.0,$15.99,400 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/catcher/id388465365?mt=11

The Indianapolis Clowns were a black touring baseball team that featured an entertaining mix of comedy, showmanship, and skill. Sometimes referred to as the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball‒though many of the Globetrotters’ routines were borrowed directly from the Clowns‒they captured the affection of Americans of all ethnicities and classes.
Alan Pollock’s father, Syd, owned the Clowns, as well as a series of black barnstorming teams that crisscrossed the country from the late 1920s until the mid-1960s. They played every venue imaginable, from little league fields to Yankee Stadium, and toured the South, the Northeast, the Midwest, the Canadian Rockies, the Dakotas, the Southwest, the Far West‒anywhere there was a crowd willing to shell out a few dollars for an unforgettable evening.
Alan grew up around the team and describes in vivid detail the comedy routines of Richard “King Tut” King, “Spec Bebob” Bell, Reece “Goose” Tatum; the “warpaint” and outlandish costumes worn by players in the early days; and the crowd-pleasing displays of amazing skill known as pepperball and shadowball. These men were entertainers, but they were also among the most gifted athletes of their day, making a living in sports the only way a black man could. They played to win.
More than just a baseball story, these recollections tell the story of great societal changes in America from the roaring twenties, through the years of the Great Depression and World War II, and into the Civil Rights era.",,0.0,$39.99,424 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/barnstorming-to-heaven/id911887136?mt=11

Leroy “Satchel” Paige was arguably one of the world’s greatest pitchers and a premier star of Negro Leagues Baseball. But in this biography Donald Spivey reveals Paige to have been much more than just a blazing fastball pitcher.
Spivey follows Paige from his birth in Alabama in 1906 to his death in Kansas City in 1982, detailing the challenges Paige faced battling the color line in America and recounting his tests and triumphs in baseball. He also opens up Paige’s private life during and after his playing days, introducing readers to the man who extended his social, cultural, and political reach beyond the limitations associated with his humble background and upbringing. This other Paige was a gifted public speaker, a talented musician and singer, an excellent cook, and a passionate outdoorsman, among other things.
Paige’s life intertwined with many of the most important issues of the times in U.S. and African American history, including the continuation of the New Negro Movement and the struggle for civil rights. Spivey incorporates interviews with former teammates conducted over twelve years, as well as exclusive interviews with Paige’s son Robert, daughter Pamela, Ted “Double Duty” Radcliffe, and John “Buck” O’Neil to tell the story of a pioneer who helped transform America through the nation’s favorite pastime.
Maintaining an image somewhere between Joe Louis’s public humility and the flamboyant aggression of Jack Johnson, Paige pushed the boundaries of segregation and bridged the racial divide with stellar pitching packaged with slapstick humor. He entertained as he played to win and saw no contradiction in doing so. Game after game, his performance refuted the lie that black baseball was inferior to white baseball.

He is also the winner of more National Coach of the Year awards than any other college coach. Garrido’s former teams at Cal State Fullerton and, more recently, at the University of Texas together have compiled a total of five College World Series championships under his leadership. But despite his unmatched record as a winner, Coach Garrido is not a win-at-all-costs coach. He teaches his players to focus on developing character, being good teammates, mastering all facets of the game, and playing with joy in the moment rather than focusing on the scoreboard. Augie teaches that the challenges faced in the batter’s box or on the pitcher’s mound are universal—and that the lessons learned on the diamond are applicable off the field, too. Life Is Yours to Win follows the coach’s journey of self-discovery and his evolution from being driven by fear to being motivated by passion. His unique and compelling book offers this revered leader’s philosophy on life and his thoughtful approach to helping young men understand both who they are and how they can be successful in their work, their relationships, and their communities. Every individual will find advice worth following including: •BE A PLAYER, NOT A PROSPECT—If you want to be considered a star in your field, whatever that may be, you need to be fully engaged. Augie once had his Labrador retriever demonstrate the joy of play to a team that needed a reminder of why they loved baseball as children. •STEP UP, SUPERMAN—Augie stages a costumed Superhero Scrimmage each Halloween to remind his players that their inner superhero is just waiting for the perfect moment when preparation meets opportunity, potential is fulfilled, and destiny is realized. •THE FEARLESS FIELD—To be successful in the often cruel game of baseball, players must master fear and other emotions so they are energized rather than paralyzed. Augie once rented a hearse and placed a casket on the pitcher’s mound to help a slumping Cal State Fullerton team bury their fears and put losses behind them. •BUDDHA AT BAT—Bunting and other “small ball” skills are not as glorified as home runs and big plays, but Coach Garrido’s teams are known for putting players in scoring position and winning games by following a Zen-like philosophy of claiming small victories during each at bat, in each inning that add up to winning records. Augie’s coaching methods are unconventional, but his creativity and wry humor provide masterful life lessons. His insights will help you both on and off the field by providing fresh approaches to conquering fears, living with joy and passion in each moment, establishing personal principles, and appreciating the value of both losing and winning. This is a book by a beloved college coach but it is packed with Major League insights and anecdotes featuring many of baseball’s greatest players and most inspiring spirits. Life Is Yours to Win will appeal to anyone who appreciates the wisdom of a proven winner in sports and in life.",4.33333,4.5,$11.99,272 Pages,English,Self-Improvement,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/life-is-yours-to-win/id394348669?mt=11

Far more than a book about baseball, it is a deeply felt story of triumph and failure, dreams and disappointments. Jim Abbott has hurled another gem.”—Jonathan Eig, New York Times bestselling author of Luckiest Man NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Born without a right hand, Jim Abbott dreamed of someday being a great athlete. Raised in Flint, Michigan, by parents who encouraged him to compete, Jim would become an ace pitcher for the University of Michigan. But his journey was only beginning: By twenty-one, he’d won the gold medal game at the 1988 Olympics and—without spending a day in the minor leagues—cracked the starting rotation of the California Angels. In 1991, he would finish third in the voting for the Cy Young Award. Two years later, he would don Yankee pinstripes and pitch one of the most dramatic no-hitters in major-league history. In this honest and insightful book, Jim Abbott reveals the challenges he faced in becoming an elite pitcher, the insecurities he dealt with in a life spent as the different one, and the intense emotion generated by his encounters with disabled children from around the country. With a riveting pitch-by-pitch account of his no-hitter providing the ideal frame for his story, this unique athlete offers readers an extraordinary and unforgettable memoir. “Compelling . . .

911869484,Dixie Walker of the Dodgers,Maury Allen,University of Alabama Press,"Jul 26, 2010",Chicago Distribution Center,The People's Choice,"Fred “Dixie” Walker was a gifted ballplayer from a family of gifted athletes. (His father, uncle, and brother all played major league baseball.) Dixie Walker played in the majors for 18 seasons and in 1,905 games, assembling a career batting average of .306 while playing for the Yankees, White Sox, Tigers, Dodgers, and Pirates. Walker won the 1944 National League batting title, was three times an All-Star, and was runner-up for Most Valuable Player in the National League in 1946. He was particularly beloved by Brooklyn Dodgers fans, to whom he was the “People’s Choice.”
But few remember any of those achievements today. Dixie Walker—born in Georgia, and a resident of Birmingham, Alabama, for most of his life—is now most often remembered as one of the southerners on the Dodgers team who resented and resisted Jackie Robinson when he joined the ball club in 1947, as the first African American major leaguer in the modern game. Having grown up in conditions of strict racial segregation, Walker later admitted to being under pressure from Alabama business associates when, in protest, he demanded to be traded away from the Dodgers.
Written by a professional sportswriter knowledgeable of the era and of personalities surrounding that event, and Dixie Walker’s daughter, this collaborative work provides a fuller account of Walker and fleshes out our understanding of him as a player and as a man. Walker ultimately came to respect Robinson, referred to him as “a gentleman,” and gave him pointers, calling him “as outstanding an athlete as I ever saw.”",,0.0,$27.99,287 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/dixie-walker-of-the-dodgers/id911869484?mt=11

The more controversial topics Andrew Zimbalist probes include the conflicts of interest arising from Selig’s original role as owner/commissioner; Selig’s response to the persistent steroids scandal; the commissioner’s role in promoting and marketing the sport; player relations and the collective-bargaining agreement; managing explosive conflicts among the owners; the game’s economic challenges; major changes made on Selig’s watch; and Selig’s growing compensation. Underlying this very public evaluation is a far more challenging question: given the legal, economic, and political architecture of Major League Baseball, can any commissioner act in the best interest of the game? Based on dozens of interviews with Selig, former president and chief operating officer of Major League Baseball Bob DuPuy, and scores of baseball insiders and interested outsiders, as well as on mountains of historic baseball documents, In the Best Interests of Baseball? challenges everything you thought you knew about the game, the Major Leagues, the players, the owners, and, most of all, the man at the helm.

424755147,Andrew ''Rube'' Foster,Phil S. Dixon,Xlibris,"Jun 25, 2010","Author Solutions, Inc.",A Harvest On Freedom's Fields,"From the best-selling author of the Negro Baseball Leagues: A Photographic History, 1867-1955 comes the definitive biography on the career of an outstanding baseball pitcher, manager, and President of the Negro National League. Andrew ""Rube"" Foster is in a class all to himself as an architect of race relations and social progress in American baseball. His most lasting legacy was the founding of the Negro National League in 1920, which provided opportunities for an entire generation of African-American athletes. Although there were few opportunities when he was in his youth, Foster, the son of a former slave, sought success on baseball fields throughout the South with the Waco Yellow Jackets. Leaving Texas in 1902, he arrived in Chicago where two African-American men, Frank C. Leland and William S. Peters, had already achieved some of what Foster had dreamed of doing himself. They were operating their own teams, hiring talented players and turning a profit on their labor. Labeled as aloof and ineffective as a pitcher, Foster left Chicago after only one season with the Chicago Union Giants. Yet believing in himself, Foster traveled East to where Grant ""Home Run"" Johnson was training his Cuban X Giants team, and sought employment. In his only season with the Cuban X Giants Foster's pitching led them to the World's Championship. Foster was lured to the Philadelphia Giants in 1904, a team under the leadership of Sol White, and Foster promptly pitched them to their first World's Championship. Philadelphia's Championship run was repeated in 1905 and 1906. Having matured as a player under Johnson's and White's guidance, Foster sought to manage a team of his own in 1907. Although revered as a stern taskmaster, Foster had great charisma with players and fans. In 1907 he returned to Chicago, this time as manager of Leland's team, the Chicago Leland Giants. Arriving with Foster were players from the Brooklyn Royal Giants, Philadelphia's Giants, and the Cuban X Giants. As a result, he fired all of Leland's former players and replaced them with men that had played in the East. Foster's new team dominated baseball's freedom fields as no African-American team had before them. In 1909, the Foster-led Leland Giants captured the City League pennant and then battled the National League's Chicago Cubs for City Championship honors. The next year, in 1910, Foster fielded his best team ever. His team finished with just six games lost. Having won many victories, Chicago's Leland Giants symbolized economic equality, inspired social change, and provoked African-American pride. Crowds filled the parks when and wherever Foster and his team appeared. Charles Comiskey and members of the Chicago White Sox, the World's Champion Chicago Cubs, John McGraw and Connie Mack sought to see the legendary Andrew ""Rube"" Foster in action. Based on twenty years of research, Andrew ""Rube"" Foster: A Harvest on Freedom's Fields is an inspiring story of an enduring figure and the many individuals who inspired his success on baseball fields all over America.",,0.0,$9.99,217 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/andrew-rube-foster/id424755147?mt=11

508961999,Don't Kill The Umpire,Peter Morris,Now and Then Reader,"Mar 07, 2012",Now and Then Reader LLC,How Baseball Escaped Its Violent Past,"If baseball is sometimes called the “pastoral game,” is it because it was once played in pastures? Maybe, but more telling is its attitude toward violence, which plays a peculiar, sublimated role in the sport. In stark contrast to the play of football and other widely appreciated American games like basketball and ice hockey, baseball players are schooled to take their aggressions out on the ball, not on other players. Yet the game was not always one of quiet courage played by gentlemen, as Peter Morris shows in this fascinating historical profile of the rise and fall of violence as a part of our national pastime.

When it came to drafting ballplayers and building a World Series club, few in baseball history can match his extraordinary success. The lessons of Lajoies illustrious career and the brilliance of his philosophy are put to print in Character is Not a Statistic. After a playing career that fell achingly short of the major leagues, Lajoie returned to Detroit to become a teacher in the mid-1960s. But his unyielding passion for baseball and desire to atone for a broken dream pulled him back to the game as a scout. From there, hed go on to build World Series Championships from scratch by finding players who possessed the very character he lacked as a young athlete. Starting as an area scout for the Cincinnati Reds in 1965, Lajoie later moved up the ladder with the Detroit Tigers and was the architect and general manager of their 1984 World Series crowning. Lajoie would then be instrumental as an assistant GM for two more franchises who dominated their decades with championships and titles; the 1990s Atlanta Braves and the 2000s Boston Red Sox. Perhaps no one alive has scouted more baseball over the last 50 years or has better stories to tell about finding the greats. Though the modern era has seen the depersonalization of scouting via statistics and radar gun readings, Lajoie was immensely successful through five decades by emphasizing what a player had inside him. His belief in a players humanity and character persists to this day. This book is not only a biography, but a collection of great baseball stories and a manual for the next generation of fans and scouts alike. Lajoie tackles such controversial issues as the Moneyball movement, the importance of a strong manager, scouting for makeup, making trades, preventing pitching injuries, running a farm system, and ranking both the best general managers and scouting directors of the modern era.",,0.0,$9.99,356 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/character-is-not-statistic/id451852281?mt=11

The very word brings to mind summer days, a feeling of youthful exuberance, and rebirth. Baseball is nostalgic in its essence, and I hope that I have captured that feeling in this book. The stories of the rise of many young hopeful ballplayers who had the talent and drive to make it to the big leagues and in some cases rise to the very pinnacle of success is what prompted me to write their stories.
Over the years of my stint covering the Appalachian League, I witnessed a great many players make it to ""The Show."" If you are a fan of baseball, as I am, you will enjoy discovering the history of this talent-rich league as well as the biographies of the players and managers who passed through the Appy League on their way up the ladder.

But it also had plenty of tradition. Names like Snider and Mays, Durocher and Dark were still in uniform 11 years after the celebrated Giants-Dodgers playoff decided by Bobby Thompson's homer in the ninth in 1951. The move west in 1958 had not mellowed any memories—Candlestick Park and Dodger Stadium replaced the Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field, but the intensity of mutual dislike was the same. Add to this the uncanny resemblance of the Dodger-Giant standings going into the 1962 playoffs to that of their 1951 ranking, and you have a season-ending script that stands as one of the most memorable and amazing in the game's history. In CHASING OCTOBER, David Plaut captures in fascinating detail all the great moments, raw emotion, and nail-biting suspense of the unforgettable fight to the finish. Each team finished the regular season with imposing 101-61 records. Each had its heroes: Orlando Cepeda, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Felipe Alou, and Jack Sanford were Bay Area favorites. In Los Angeles, Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Maury Wills, Tommy Davis, and Frank Howard were as recognizable as the Hollywood celebrities who turned out nightly at Chavez Ravine to cheer them on. Each team had their own pressures as well. Younger Dodgers supported manager Walt Alston, others openly preferred coach Leo Derocher. On the Giants, minority players were not always enamored of their manager, Alvin Dark. Just as in 1951, the playoff featured rallies, drama, and tactical blunders that sent the action into the ninth inning of the final game before being decided. With updates and a new preface, this 50th Anniversary Edition of CHASING OCTOBER is a must not only for the fans of these two exciting franchises, but for any lover of baseball. In capturing the exhilarating spirit of the intense rivalry between the Dodgers and Giants, Plaut gets to the essence of baseball's hold on the imagination.",,0.0,$7.99,248 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/chasing-october/id533462451?mt=11

Fenway may not offer fans the best seats or even adequate parking, but when game-goers walk through the park's gate, the smell of hotdogs and roasted peanuts, the sight of Fenway's brilliant green grass and the roar of the Fenway faithful overwhelms the most jaded of baseball enthusiasts, even Yankee fans.At Fenway celebrates the rich history of Fenway Park home to the Boston Red Sox. Told through the wit and perceptions of Dan Shaughnessy, sports columnist for the Boston Globe and one of New England's most admired sportswriters, At Fenway is the writer's hometown tribute to the park how growing up with Fenway and the Red Sox affected his life and the lives of the many die-hard fans living in ""Red Sox Nation."" Author of The Curse of the Bambino, Shaughnessy takes readers on a walking tour of the fabled park itself, exploring every nook and cranny that makes Fenway unique. He traces the early history of Fenway from the day owner John I. Taylor broke ground for its construction in 1911 to the building material that went into the making of Fenway's ""Green Monster"" wall. In addition, Shaughnessy introduces readers to some of the unrecognized figures who keep Fenway's cherished traditions alive, including Helen Robinson, who has operated the park's switchboard for more than half a century, and head groundskeeper Joe Mooney, who ""protects and defends the green, green grass of Fenway Park.""A book that uniquely captures the spirit of Fenway Park and what it means to be a Boston Red Sox fan, At Fenway also explores the ""good, bad, and ugly"" moments that have nurtured Fenway's love-hate relationship with fans. From the dark day of January 5, 1920, when Babe Ruth left the Red Sox to play for the Yankees, to the Red Sox's 1967 Cinderella-story pennant victory; from Carlton Fisk's 1975 World Series home run to the crowd-silencing homer Bucky Dent hit that clinched the Yankees' 1978 playoff birth, At Fenway recalls the park's greatest and worst moments and talks with the players who created them.Rumors that the Red Sox will close Fenway in a few years have already provoked outrage among the faithful. Closing Fenway will mark the end of an era, and Dan Shaughnessy captures this era in all its tragic glory. At Fenway will be read and cherished by Red Sox fans and all fans of baseball as it ought to be.From the Hardcover edition.",,0.0,$9.99,256 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/at-fenway/id420541948?mt=11

As proof, team captain Paul Konerko toed traditionally shaky ground in Chicago by suggesting the White Sox didn't have to make the playoffs in order to have a successful season. (Even on the north side of town it's rare to see any member of the Chicago Cubs, perennial losers committed to a lengthy rebuilding process, downplay the significance or possibility of a playoff berth so forthrightly.) To the amazement of fans, division rivals, and baseball enthusiasts across the country, however, the White Sox spent much of the season atop the AL Central. Using strong contributions from three comeback player of the year candidates—Alex Rios, Adam Dunn, and Jake Peavy—as well as solid pitching and defense, the White Sox cobbled together enough winning streaks to be leading their division by the All-Star break. Rookie manager Robin Ventura, who had no previous managerial experience at any level, maintained a composure and focus throughout the season that was matched by his business-as-usual ballclub. While the season was filled with feel-good stories, it eventually was defined by a gut-wrenching slide in the final weeks of September when the White Sox squandered a three-game division lead with 3 weeks left in the season. Ultimately, the Detroit Tigers beat out the Sox for a playoff berth and the South Side boys of summer were forced to spend the fall thinking about what might have been. Comprised of articles from the Chicago Tribune's season-long coverage of the team, this book brings the heartbreaking story of the 2012 Chicago White Sox to readers with its insightful, award-winning sports reporting and commentary. Fans can relive the excitement of a team no one expected to compete and determine just what went wrong at season's end, as told through the trusted voices and beautiful photography of the Chicago Tribune staff.",,0.0,$2.99,100 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/chicago-white-sox-2012/id576249182?mt=11

A number of expansion teams in the four major sports never have won a World Series, Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, or NBA title in their brief histories. But no team ever has gone 100 years without winning a championship. Following the Cubs' quest to avert that infamous distinction is the backdrop for Living the Dream, which, for author Jim McArdle, it truly was. McArdle, a former Cubs employee as editor of the official team magazine Vine Line, quit his job to devote himself completely to the 2008 Cubs' season. Thanks to clubhouse access generously offered by the team and an apartment located just beyond Wrigley's left-field fence, McArdle was uniquely positioned to compile this fascinating story.",,0.0,$11.99,272 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/living-the-dream/id721722395?mt=11

No fans are more perpetually disappointed than those of the Chicago Cubs—a team that has not won a World Series since 1908. And chief among the forlorn is Jack Frost.
From his assigned seat in the cafeteria at the Bide Awhile Rest Home, Jack reads the sports pages every day and checks out the standings. In the middle of June, the Cubs are already thirteen and a half games out. Last place again—or rather, still.
Into this sea of depression drops one Clarence Beazely, a new resident at the home and a baseball fan. But Beazely is not your everyday fan, nor is he your everyday rest home resident. He has extraordinary powers, and in a very friendly way he offers Jack a tantalizing deal. Of course it comes at a cost, but if the price seems a little steep, does it really matter as long as the Cubs might have a chance to be… WORLD CHAMPIONS?

Author, sportswriter, and eternal fan of the game, Lonnie Wheeler systematically identifies the performance-enhancing qualities (PEQs) that together comprise the “communicable competitiveness” that he calls “teamship.”Intangiball is not designed to debunk Moneyball, but rather to sketch in what it left out: “What order is there to a baseball world in which a struggling rookie benefits not a bit from the encouraging words of the veteran who drapes his arm around the kid’s shoulders; in which Derek Jeter’s professionalism serves none but him; in which there is no reward for hustle, no edge for enthusiasm, no payoff for sacrifice; in which there is no place for the ambient contributions of David Eckstein, Marco Scutaro, or the aging, battered Scott Rolen; in which shared purpose serves no purpose?”Intangibles, as it turns out, not only ennoble the game; they help win it.

1024240493,Chris Von der Ahe,Steve Pona,Saint Louis Baseball Historical Society,"Sep 03, 2015",Steve Pona,A Case for Hall of Fame Consideration,"Chris Von der Ahe is the most under-appreciated and most misunderstood Founding Father in baseball history. There is a chance the most passionate baseball historian in the Society of American Baseball Researchers (SABR) knows his name, knows the American Association and his St. Louis Brown Stockings. There’s a chance that person may know about his club winning four-consecutive AA championships and competing in four World Series in the 1880’s. But there’s only a tiny chance that same historian could connect Von der Ahe to his long list of innovations that disrupted the National League’s monopoly and laid a new foundation that defined base ball as America’s National Pastime.
If that researcher has heard Von der Ahe’s name, he may also have heard that Von der Ahe was a buffoon who barely spoke English, or that Charlie Comiskey was Von der Ahe’s baseball genius. The researcher probably may have even heard that Von der Ahe was a womanizer who squandered his fortune. Well, it’s true that Von der Ahe was an easy target for his enemies in the media and rival businessmen who were trying to displace him as the promoter of professional base ball in St. Louis. But none of his human failings should diminish his contributions to the game.
So, we decided enough is enough. Our team of passionate researchers and award-winning authors decided to pull back the veil to reveal the truth about “Der Boss President,” Chris Von der Ahe. We decided to dispel the myths, hyperbole and fiction and replace them with fact. We decided that the “best fans in baseball” should know the history of the team they now call Cardinals and embrace Von der Ahe as the grandfather of professional baseball in St. Louis. And we also believe that he deserves his place in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum as one of the most important contributors the great game has ever seen.

Farrell, Mickey Donovan—the main character in Dreaming Baseball—grew up on the South Side of Chicago dreaming of becoming a star for the White Sox. Donovan’s childhood dream came true in 1919 when he made the team. Despite the fact that he spent most of his rookie season on the bench, it was truly a magical year—until the Black Sox scandal turned it into a nightmare.James T. Farrell dreamed of one day playing second base for his hometown Chicago White Sox, but, failing that, he became one of America’s great novelists. Farrell loved the game of baseball with the same passion he brought to the celebrated Studs Lonigan trilogy.In the 1950s Farrell signed an agreement with A. S. Barnes to write two baseball books. The first book published from this deal was My Baseball Diary, in 1957, still considered one of the very best fan books on baseball. The second baseball book was to be a novel about the infamous 1919 Black Sox scandal. Though several draft s of the novel were written, it remained unpublished—until now. Editors Ron Briley, Margaret Davidson, and James Barbour worked with the various manuscript drafts to see Farrell’s vision to print as Dreaming Baseball.Farrell’s Donovan speaks, feels, and dreams for all baseball fans in this wonderfully rich novel about our favorite American pastime.“The heart of Farrell’s baseball novel is the story of a young boy who dreams of playing one day for his hometown team and lives that dream, only to see it ruined by the social realities and personal failure that often shadow the dreamer. For Farrell, baseball is where youthful dreams begin, but it’s also a test of character when the dream-come-true becomes a nightmare.

Mike had other ideas. Overcoming his detractors, he became the National League rookie of the year in 1993, broke the record for season batting average by a catcher, holds the record for career home runs at his position, and was selected as an All Star twelve times. Mike was groomed for baseball success by his ambitious, self-made father in Pennsylvania, a classic father-son American-dream story. With the Dodgers, Piazza established himself as baseball’s premier offensive catcher; but the team never seemed willing to recognize him as the franchise player he was. He joined the Mets and led them to the memorable 2000 World Series with their cross-town rivals, the Yankees. Mike tells the story behind his dramatic confrontation with Roger Clemens in that series. He addresses the steroid controversy that hovered around him and Major League Baseball during his time and provides valuable perspective on the subject. Mike also addresses the rumors of being gay and describes the thrill of his game-winning home run on September 21, 2001, the first baseball game played in New York after the 9/11 tragedy.

Surrounded by a squad decidedly lacking in talent, Carlton overcame insurmountable odds. For a Phillies team that won just 59 games, he posted 27 wins a record 46 percent and in so doing captured his first of four Cy Young Awards in a career that culminated in his induction into the Hall of Fame.
In Drinking Coffee with a Fork, Steve Bucci and Dave Brown chronicle Carlton’s extraordinary and improbable ’72 season. Drawing on interviews with Carlton’s teammates, coaches, opponents, and the writers who covered the team, as well as newspaper accounts and box scores of the games, Bucci and Brown recreate the phenomenal performance by the man called Lefty his early season duels with superstar pitchers Bob Gibson and Juan Marichal, his brilliant shutout against the Expos in a game marred by a bench-clearing brawl triggered by a retaliatory beanball thrown by Carlton, and a remarkable and exhilarating 15-game winning streak, achieved while the Phils rarely won on days that he didn’t pitch.
Throughout the book, the authors intersperse memorable conversations and anecdotes involving Carlton from the dugout, the locker room, and the team hotel which illuminate Lefty' s eccentricities, including his intense pregame preparation, his uncanny focus and concentration on the mound, and the sage and sometimes offbeat advice that he imparted to his fellow Phillies.
After recounting Carlton’s amazing season, Bucci and Brown rely on statistical analysis and opinions solicited from some of the country’s foremost baseball experts including Bob Costas, Jayson Stark, and Tom Verducci to dissect this thought-provoking question: Is Carlton’s 1972 season the greatest ever for a pitcher?",,0.0,$8.99,362 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/drinking-coffee-with-a-fork/id943582160?mt=11

It began in 1999, when Yogi Berra was reunited with the Yankees after a long self-exile, the result of being unceremoniously fired by George Steinbrenner fourteen years before. A reconciliation between Berra and the Boss meant that Berra would attend spring training again. Guidry befriended “Mr. Yogi” instantly. After all, Berra had been a mentor in the clubhouse back when Guidry was pitching for the Yankees. Guidry knew the young players would benefit greatly from Mr. Yogi's encyclopedic knowledge of the game, just as Guidry had during his playing days, so he encouraged Berra to share his insights. Soon, an offhand batting tip from Mr. Yogi turned Nick Swisher’s season around. Stories about handling a hitter like Ted Williams or catching Don Larsen’s perfect game captured their imaginations. And in Yogi, Guidry found not just an elder companion or source of amusement — he found a best friend. At turns tender and laugh-out-loud funny, and teeming with unforgettable baseball yarns that span more than fifty years, Driving Mr. Yogi is a universal story about the importance of wisdom being passed from one generation to the next, as well as a reminder that time is what we make of it and compassion never gets old. “A refreshing change from the normal diet of sports books out there . . .

Award-winning essayist Lucas Mann delivers a powerful debut in his telling of the story of the 2010 season of the Clinton LumberKings. Along the Mississippi River, in a Depression-era stadium, young prospects from all over the world compete for a chance to move up through the baseball ranks to the major leagues. Their coaches, some of whom have spent nearly half a century in the game, watch from the dugout. In the bleachers, local fans call out from the same seats they’ve occupied year after year. And in the distance, smoke rises from the largest remaining factory in a town that once had more millionaires per capita than any other in America.

Going to his first game as a kid in 1940’s New York was the start of a lifelong love affair. This heartfelt valentine to America’s game evokes a simpler time in our country’s history: complete with the smells of popcorn, beer and hot-dogs; the sight of the green, closely-mowed infield; the dark brown dirt paths; the crisp white uniforms; the sound of the excited voices of announcers; the crack of the bat; and the roar of the crowd.

The Bucs' 20-year drift raises provocative questions about why we root for sports teams in the first place. Why would fans invest emotionally in a team with so little to offer? And why do fans who openly describe themselves as ""masochistic"" and ""delusional"" stick around?Charlie Wilmoth chronicles the losing streak and explains how the Bucs finally built a team strong enough to challenge it.

He slid across the plate in the bottom of the 9th for the Braves, giving them the pennant with a heart-wrenching 3–2 victory. The run began a mind-numbing slide that enters its third decade of sub.500 performances. The curse of Sid Bream was born.Until the surprising 2012 campaign, a generation of Steel City baseball fans had hungered for the Pirates to be involved in an actual pennant race, a goal that even the most diehard could not have imagined. There was a time that it wasn’t a far-off dream, but instead an annual right. From 1970 through 1979, Pittsburgh won six eastern division crowns and two national championships. While impressive, the 1970s were only the second-best decade in franchise history. Classic Bucs looks back to the beginning of the twentieth century, the indisputable best decade of the Pittsburgh Pirates, when a young and brash team captured four senior circuit titles and their initial World Series in 1909.During the years between those two memorable seasons, the club won two other world championships in 1925 and 1960, the latter of which culminated in arguably the greatest contest in the history of the game. On a memorable fall afternoon on October 13, 1960, a second baseman known more for his defensive prowess than his bat became the only man in the history of the World Series to end the last game of the fall classic with a home run. The second baseman was Bill Mazeroski, and he smacked a Ralph Terry pitch over the left field wall at Forbes Field to give the Bucs a wild 10–9 victory over the New York Yankees and send the town into hysterics.Incredible moments like this are the inspirations for this book chronicling the 50 greatest Pirate games of all time. Memories of these games are sure to bring a collective smile to the Pirates Nation.

While the Browns, Indians, and Cavaliers have certainly caused more than their fair share of frustration and heartbreak over the past century, there are countless moments of glory in the fertile athletic history of Northeast Ohio that receive little notice east of Shaker Heights or west of Rocky River. Jonathan Knight’s Classic Cleveland Series sets out to combat this trend, bundling together the most memorable moments of Cleveland’s beloved athletic clubs. In three separate publications, Knight ranks the fifty greatest games in each franchise with entertaining accounts of each contest, properly placing them in the broad landscape of civic history. Regardless of what the current editions of the Browns, Indians, and Cavs accomplish, every contest played is another chapter in an epos connecting each generation of fans to the ones before it. The Classic Cleveland Series colorfully illustrates that regardless of today’s final score, the simple continuation of the saga is reason enough for reflection and celebration. Classic Tribe counts down the fifty greatest Cleveland Indians games, from wild ninth-inning comebacks to dazzling pitching performances to spellbinding playoff encounters. The storied history of Cleveland’s endearing baseball franchise is sprinkled throughout these tales, from weekday matinees at cozy League Park at the dawn of the twentieth century to unforgettable autumn nights at Jacobs Field. Knight ranks World Series masterpieces alongside incredible individual performances and historic achievements: two perfect games seventy-three years apart, the most memorable of the 1954 Tribe’s record 111 victories, and the greatest comeback in baseball history.

In his memorable debut book, Stefan Fatsis takes you inside the Northern League, and in the process discovers how very much baseball still means to America. Commentator Peter Gammons calls the Northern League ""the past and future of grassroots baseball in America."" Revived in 1993 by a group of minor league executives fed up with the politics of their sport, it has restored baseball to six communities in the upper Midwest and Canada, which have embraced their teams with a fervor any major league team would envy. More than that, the league has breathed new life into a game that, at the major league level, has lost its way and abandoned its fans. The Northern League's startling success has inspired a movement that could, in time, change the face of baseball, as other independent leagues are forming rapidly in its wake. Wild and Outside tells the Northern League's story, from the events that created it through its tumultuous and triumphant second season. Fatsis writes with the authority of a trusted insider, having closely followed the league since its inception. The result is a book as rich in insights into baseball's problems as it is full of indelible portraits of the people who make the Northern League special; a book that blends the texture and history of grassroots baseball with the many dramas of the league's 1994 season.",,0.0,$11.99,288 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/wild-and-outside/id537206861?mt=11

574316537,Good Enough to Dream,Roger Kahn,Diversion Books,"Oct 28, 2012",Diversion Publishing Corp.,,"Roger Kahn’s first major league hit, THE BOYS OF SUMMER, was his runaway bestseller that immortalized the 1950s Brooklyn Dodgers. Now Kahn does the same for players whose moment in the sun has not yet arrived.
GOOD ENOUGH TO DREAM is the story of Kahn’s year as owner of the Class A, very minor league, Utica Blue Sox. Most of the Blue Sox never made it to the majors, but they all shared the dream that links the small child in the sandlot with the superstar who has just smacked one out of the stadium. This is a look at baseball unadorned, a game still sweet enough to lure grown men to leagues where first-class transportation was an old school bus and the infield was likely to be the consistency of thick soup. It is a funny and poignant story of one season, and one special team, that will make us hesitate before we ever call anything “bush league” again.

649170699,Foul Ball (Rosetta Books Sports Classics),Jim Bouton,RosettaBooks,"Mar 20, 2012","ROSETTABOOKS, LLC",,"In his first diary since Ball Four, Jim Bouton recounts his amazing adventure trying to save a historic ballpark in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Host to organized baseball since 1892, Wahconah Park was soon to be abandoned by the owner of the Pittsfield Mets, who would move his team to a new stadium in another town--an all too familiar story.
Enter Bouton and his partner with the best deal ever offered to a community--a locally owned professional baseball team and a privately restored city-owned ballpark at no cost to the taxpayers.
The only people who didn’t like Bouton’s plan were the Mayor, the Mayor’s hand-picked Parks Commissioners, a majority of the City Council, the only daily newspaper, the city’s largest bank, it’s most powerful law firm, and a guy from General Electric. Everyone else--or approximately 98% of the citizens of Pittsfield--loved it.
The “good old boys” hated Bouton’s plan because it would put a stake in the heart of a proposed $18.5 million baseball stadium--a new stadium that the citizens of Pittsfield had voted against three different times!
In what one reviewer called “that same humane, sarcastic voice” Bouton unmasks a mayor who brags that “the fix is in,” a newspaper that lies to its readers, and a government that operates out of a bar.
But maybe the most incredible story is what happened after Foul Ball was self-published--a story in itself. Invited back by a new mayor, Bouton and his partner raise $1.2 million, help discover a document dating Pittsfield’s baseball origins to 1791, and stage a vintage game that's broadcast live by ESPN-TV.
Who could have guessed what would happen next? And that this time it would involve the Massachusetts Attorney General?
“What Foul Ball shares with Ball Four,” wrote John Feinstein, “is Bouton’s humor… and a remarkable tale that--if you didn’t trust the author--you would find difficult to believe.”

As Monte Irvin, a teammate and fellow Hall of Fame player, writes in his foreword, “Wells really could do it all. He was one of the slickest fielding shortstops ever to come along. He had speed on the bases. He hit with power and consistency. He was among the most durable players I’ve ever known. Yet few people have heard of the feisty ballplayer nicknamed “El Diablo. Willie Wells was black, and he played long before Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier. Bob Luke has sifted through the spotty statistics, interviewed Negro League players and historians, and combed the yellowed letters and newspaper accounts of Wells’s life to draw the most complete portrait yet of an important baseball player. Wells’s baseball career lasted thirty years and included seasons in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Canada. He played against white all-stars as well as Negro League greats Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, and Buck O’Neill, among others. He was beaned so many times that he became the first modern player to wear a batting helmet. As an older player and coach, he mentored some of the first black major leaguers, including Jackie Robinson and Don Newcombe. Willie Wells truly deserved his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame, but Bob Luke details how the lingering effects of segregation hindered black players, including those better known than Wells, long after the policy officially ended.

720890473,Baseball in Blue and Gray,George B. Kirsch,Princeton University Press,"Oct 24, 2013",Princeton University Press,The National Pastime during the Civil War,"During the Civil War, Americans from homefront to battlefront played baseball as never before. While soldiers slaughtered each other over the country's fate, players and fans struggled over the form of the national pastime. George Kirsch gives us a color commentary of the growth and transformation of baseball during the Civil War. He shows that the game was a vital part of the lives of many a soldier and civilian--and that baseball's popularity had everything to do with surging American nationalism. By 1860, baseball was poised to emerge as the American sport. Clubs in northeastern and a few southern cities played various forms of the game. Newspapers published statistics, and governing bodies set rules. But the Civil War years proved crucial in securing the game's place in the American heart. Soldiers with bats in their rucksacks spread baseball to training camps, war prisons, and even front lines. As nationalist fervor heightened, baseball became patriotic. Fans honored it with the title of national pastime. War metaphors were commonplace in sports reporting, and charity games were scheduled. Decades later, Union general Abner Doubleday would be credited (wrongly) with baseball's invention. The Civil War period also saw key developments in the sport itself, including the spread of the New York-style of play, the advent of revised pitching rules, and the growth of commercialism. Kirsch recounts vivid stories of great players and describes soldiers playing ball to relieve boredom. He introduces entrepreneurs who preached the gospel of baseball, boosted female attendance, and found new ways to make money. We witness bitterly contested championships that enthralled whole cities. We watch African Americans embracing baseball despite official exclusion. And we see legends spring from the pens of early sportswriters. Rich with anecdotes and surprising facts, this narrative of baseball's coming-of-age reveals the remarkable extent to which America's national pastime is...",,0.0,$13.99,168 Pages,English,United States,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/baseball-in-blue-and-gray/id720890473?mt=11

Frank Cashen looks back over his twenty-five-year career in baseball. Best known as the general manager of the New York Mets during their remaking and rise to glory in the 1980s, Cashen fills the pages with lively stories from his baseball tenure during the last half of the twentieth century. His career included a stint with the Baltimore Orioles of the late ’60s and ’70s, working with manager Earl Weaver and the great teams of the early ’70s, including such players as Jim Palmer, Frank Robinson, and Brooks Robinson.

Winning in Both Leagues also chronicles the drafting of Billy Beane, who would later be the focus of the New York Times bestseller Moneyball.

567129289,Francona,Terry Francona & Dan Shaughnessy,Houghton Mifflin Harcourt,"Jan 22, 2013",Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company,The Red Sox Years,"From 2004 to 2011, Terry Francona managed the Boston Red Sox, perhaps the most scrutinized team in all of sports. During that time, every home game was a sellout. Every play, call, word, gesture—on the field and off—was analyzed by thousands. And every decision was either genius, or disastrous. In those eight years, the Red Sox were transformed from a cursed franchise to one of the most successful and profitable in baseball history—only to fall back to last place as soon as Francona was gone. Now, in Francona: The Red Sox Years, the decorated manager opens up for the first time about his tenure in Boston, unspooling the narrative of how this world-class organization reached such incredible highs and dipped to equally incredible lows. But through it all, there was always baseball, that beautiful game of which Francona never lost sight. As no book has ever quite done before, Francona escorts readers into the rarefied world of a twenty-first-century clubhouse, revealing the mercurial dynamic of the national pastime from the inside out. From his unique vantage point, Francona chronicles an epic era, from 2004, his first year as the Sox skipper, when they won their first championship in 86 years, through another win in 2007, to the controversial September collapse just four years later. He recounts the tightrope walk of managing unpredictable personalities such as Pedro Martinez and Manny Ramirez and working with Theo Epstein, the general managing phenom, and his statistics-driven executives. It was a job that meant balancing their voluminous data with the emotions of a 25-man roster. It was a job that also meant trying to meet the expectations of three owners with often wildly differing opinions. Along the way, readers are treated to never-before-told stories about their favorite players, moments, losses, and wins. Ultimately, when for the Red Sox it became less about winning and more about making money, Francona contends they lost their way. But it was an unforgettable, endlessly entertaining, and instructive time in baseball history, one that is documented and celebrated in Francona, a book that examines like no other the art of managing in today’s game.",4.37021,4.5,$9.99,368 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/francona/id567129289?mt=11

962922962,Winning on the North Side: The 1929 Chicago Cubs,Gregory H. Wolf,Society for American Baseball Research,"Jan 29, 2015",Smashwords,,"“The best team I ever played on was McCarthy’s twenty-niners. It was strictly power all the way. No tricky baseball.” —Cubs first baseman Charlie GrimmThis book celebrates the 1929 Chicago Cubs, one of the most exciting teams in baseball history. Bashing their way to the pennant by crushing their opponents in a high-scoring era, skipper Joe McCarthy’s North Siders were an offensive juggernaut, leading the majors with 982 runs scored. Future Hall of Famers Hack Wilson, ’29 NL MVP Rogers Hornsby, and Kiki Cuyler, along with Riggs Stephenson formed one of the most potent quartets in baseball history, collectively scoring 493 runs and knocking in 520. As awe-inspiring as the Cubs offense was, their pitching was almost as good. Charlie Root, Guy Bush, and Pat Malone anchored a staff that finished second in team ERA and led the league in shutouts.The Cubs’ magical season came to an ignominious conclusion when they faced Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics in the World Series. Long before the “lovable loser” moniker was attached to the Cubs, Chicago’s crushing defeat in five games helped craft the narrative of fateful losses.The Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) invites you to read the life and baseball stories of all the roster players and the coaching staff and relive an important part of baseball history. Also included are biographies of club owner William Wrigley, visionary executive Bill Veeck, Sr., and Margaret Donahue, the first female executive in baseball history. A summary of the regular season and World Series, as well as essays on the 1929 Athletics, Wrigley Field, Catalina Island, and fate of the Cubs after 1929 round out this volume. With contributions from 26 members of the SABR BioProject, this book is a riveting account of one of the most memorable teams in Chicago sports history.Introduction by Gregory H.

394348193,Baseball in the Garden of Eden,John Thorn,Simon & Schuster,"Mar 15, 2011",Simon and Schuster Digital Sales Inc.,The Secret History of the Early Game,"Think you know how the game of baseball began? Think again. Forget Abner Doubleday and Cooperstown. Forget Alexander Joy Cartwright and the New York Knickerbockers. Instead, meet Daniel Lucius Adams, William Rufus Wheaton, and Louis Fenn Wadsworth, each of whom has a stronger claim to baseball paternity than Doubleday or Cartwright. But did baseball even have a father—or did it just evolve from other bat-and-ball games? John Thorn, baseball’s preeminent historian, examines the creation story of the game and finds it all to be a gigantic lie, not only the Doubleday legend, so long recognized with a wink and a nudge. From its earliest days baseball was a vehicle for gambling (much like cricket, a far more popular game in early America), a proxy form of class warfare, infused with racism as was the larger society, invigorated if ultimately corrupted by gamblers, hustlers, and shady entrepreneurs. Thorn traces the rise of the New York version of the game over other variations popular in Massachusetts and Philadelphia. He shows how the sport’s increasing popularity in the early decades of the nineteenth century mirrored the migration of young men from farms and small towns to cities, especially New York. And he charts the rise of secret professionalism and the origin of the notorious “reserve clause,” essential innovations for gamblers and capitalists. No matter how much you know about the history of baseball, you will find something new in every chapter. Thorn also introduces us to a host of early baseball stars who helped to drive the tremendous popularity and growth of the game in the post–Civil War era: Jim Creighton, perhaps the first true professional player; Candy Cummings, the pitcher who claimed to have invented the curveball; Albert Spalding, the ballplayer who would grow rich from the game and shape its creation myth; Hall of Fame brothers George and Harry Wright; Cap Anson, the first man to record three thousand hits and a virulent racist; and many others. Add bluff, bluster, and bravado, and toss in an illicit romance, an unknown son, a lost ball club, an epidemic scare, and you have a baseball detective story like none ever written. Thorn shows how a small religious cult became instrumental in the commission that was established to determine the origins of the game and why the selection of Abner Doubleday as baseball’s father was as strangely logical as it was patently absurd. Entertaining from the first page to the last, Baseball in the Garden of Eden is a tale of good and evil, and the snake proves the most interesting character. It is full of heroes, scoundrels, and dupes; it contains more scandal by far than the 1919 Black Sox World Series fix. More than a history of the game, Baseball in the Garden of Eden tells the story of nineteenth-century America, a land of opportunity and limitation, of glory and greed—all present in the wondrous alloy that is our nation and its pastime.",3.94118,4.0,$11.99,384 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/baseball-in-the-garden-of-eden/id394348193?mt=11

Wagner,Taylor Trade Publishing,"Nov 29, 2004",The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group,The Year the Cubs Played Hardball with the Curse (But Lost Anyway),"There is a theory that if the Cubs ever win the World Series, it would upset the delicate balance of the cosmos and bring the apocalypse. Following a fiery explosion, the thinking went, the world would be cast into everlasting darkness. Dogs would sleep with cats, Cubs fans would get along with White Sox fans-stuff like that. Evidently the Chicago Cubs are determined to prevent such a calamity. Notwithstanding such off-season acquisitions as Derrek Lee, Todd Walker, Todd Hollandsworth, and Greg Maddux-clearly designed to position the 2004 Cubs for their first World Series appearance in nearly 60 years-the Cubs collapsed in not only predictable but almost poetic fashion. In late September the Cubs were poised to snatch a wild card spot in the playoffs, only to be suddenly reminded of who they were. When famed sportscaster Steve Stone's constructive criticism of the club drew more attention than the team's play on the field, the team's fate was sealed. All it took was a loss to Atlanta on October 1 to take them officially out of the running. With great wit and insight, veteran sports writer and Chicago native Will Wagner chronicles the entire 2004 season from the melting snows of spring through the melting team chemistry of autumn, from soaring hopes to Sulkin' Sammy Sosa. Ever the hopeless Cubs fan himself, Wagner is still philosophical following The Year That Should Have Been: ""Better times are ahead for the cubbies. That's what keeps us going.

Just 13 years after Alexander Cartwright codified baseball's rules, the Washington Nationals Baseball Club formed and in 1867 toured the country spreading the ""baseball gospel."" By 1901 the team became one of the first eight major league teams in the newly formed American League. Players such as Walter Johnson, probably the greatest pitcher of all time, and other Senators under the stewardship of owner Clark Griffith successfully led the club in 1924 to what many consider to be the most exciting World Series in baseball history. Later, the Homestead Grays played at Griffith Stadium and fielded a team featuring legendary Negro League greats such as Josh Gibson and Buck Leonard. The powerhouse Grays, during a ten-year span, won nine Negro League World Championships, a record that may never be equaled in any team sport again. When the Grays disbanded, the original Senators left for Minnesota in 1960, and the expansion Senators of the 1960s relocated, the city was left without a professional baseball team. While many feared that baseball in D.C. was over, a spirit remained on the diamond and is still felt today as children and adults team up in one way or another to play the national pastime in the nation's capital.

Me preparé para tratar de tocar la bola de nuevo, pero Reggie Cleveland me lanzó otra bola hacia adentro. Era como si ellos estuvieran viendo las señas, lo cual era muy probable. Era como si supieran con antelación que iba a intentar tocar la bola. Personalmente, pensé que estaban cometiendo un error. Si fuera mi equipo y Reggie Jackson quería tocar la bola, yo le dejaría hacerlo. Pero la cuenta se puso a mi favor, el toque de bola quedó descartado y Cleveland me lanzó una bola deslizadora.

Give me the best you have in the shop.” Jim wound up and put one over that just cut the corner of the plate. Joe made a mighty swing at it, but it was just beyond his reach.
“Nearly broke your back reaching for that one, eh?” laughed Jim, as the ball was thrown back to him. “I was just kidding you that time,” grinned Joe. “I’m going to kill the next one.” Again the ball whizzed to the plate. It was a fast, straight ball with a slight hop to it. Joe caught it near the end of his bat and “leaned on it” heavily. The ball soared out between right and center, and the outfielders covering that position gave one look at it and then turned and ran with the ball.

At a time when the New York Yankees were in free fall, having failed to win a World Series in 17 years and had not played in one in 14 years—the Bronx Bombers’ longest drought since before the days of Babe Ruth—along came four young players whose powerful impact returned the franchise to its former glory. They were a diverse group from different parts of the globe: Mariano Rivera, a right-handed pitcher from Panama, who was destined to become the all-time record holder in saves and baseball’s greatest closer; Derek Jeter, a shortstop raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, who would become the first Yankee to accumulate 3,000 hits; Jorge Posada, an infielder-turned-catcher from Puerto Rico, who would hit more home runs than any Yankees catcher except the legendary Hall of Famer Yogi Berra; and Andy Pettitte, a left-handed pitcher born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who would win more postseason games than any player in baseball history. Together they formed the “Core Four,” and would go on to play as teammates for 13 seasons during which time they would help the Yankees advance to the postseason 12 times, win the American League pennant seven times, and take home five World Series trophies. This book follows these phenoms from the minor leagues to the present, detailing their significant contributions to a winning major league franchise.

360606470,Crazy '08,Cait N. Murphy,HarperCollins e-books,"Oct 13, 2009",HarperCollins,,"From the perspective of 2007, the unintentional irony of Chance's boast is manifest—these days, the question is when will the Cubs ever win a game they have to have. In October 1908, though, no one would have laughed: The Cubs were, without doubt, baseball's greatest team—the first dynasty of the 20th century.Crazy '08 recounts the 1908 season—the year when Peerless Leader Frank Chance's men went toe to toe to toe with John McGraw and Christy Mathewson's New York Giants and Honus Wagner's Pittsburgh Pirates in the greatest pennant race the National League has ever seen. The American League has its own three-cornered pennant fight, and players like Cy Young, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, and the egregiously crooked Hal Chase ensured that the junior circuit had its moments. But it was the National League's—and the Cubs'—year. Crazy '08, however, is not just the exciting story of a great season. It is also about the forces that created modern baseball, and the America that produced it. In 1908, crooked pols run Chicago's First Ward, and gambling magnates control the Yankees. Fans regularly invade the field to do handstands or argue with the umps; others shoot guns from rickety grandstands prone to burning. There are anarchists on the loose and racial killings in the town that made Lincoln. On the flimsiest of pretexts, General Abner Doubleday becomes a symbol of Americanism, and baseball's own anthem, ""Take Me Out to the Ballgame,"" is a hit. Picaresque and dramatic, 1908 is a season in which so many weird and wonderful things happen that it is somehow unsurprising that a hairpiece, a swarm of gnats, a sudden bout of lumbago, and a disaster down in the mines all play a role in its outcome. And sometimes the events are not so wonderful at all. There are several deaths by baseball, and the shadow of corruption creeps closer to the heart of baseball—the honesty of the game itself. Simply put, 1908 is the year that baseball grew up.Oh, and it was the last time the Cubs won the World Series.Destined to be as memorable as the season it documents, Crazy '08 sets a new standard for what a book about baseball can be.",3.875,4.0,$10.99,400 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/crazy-08/id360606470?mt=11

One of baseball’s most valuable franchises, they had recently suffered an embarrassing September collapse and two bitter losing seasons. Their GM had made costly mistakes. And their principle owners were embroiled in the largest financial scam in American history.To whom did they turn? Sandy Alderson, a former marine who served in Vietnam and graduated from Harvard Law. In 1981, Alderson started in baseball with Oakland, where he led a revolution in the sport. The A's partnered with Apple, pioneered using statistical analysis, and became a powerhouse, winning the 1989 World Series. When new owners slashed payroll in the 1990s, Alderson's under-the-radar creativity and intelligent management were thrust into the spotlight.Granted unprecedented access to a working GM over several seasons, bestselling author Steve Kettmann traces Alderson’s history and his renewal of the Mets despite a limited budget, through big trades that brought back high-profile prospects to the development of young aces including Matt Harvey, Zach Wheeler, and Jacob deGrom.

820581446,Creating the National Pastime,G. Edward White,Princeton University Press,"Apr 10, 2014",Princeton University Press,"Baseball Transforms Itself, 1903-1953","At a time when many baseball fans wish for the game to return to a purer past, G. Edward White shows how seemingly irrational business decisions, inspired in part by the self-interest of the owners but also by their nostalgia for the game, transformed baseball into the national pastime. Not simply a professional sport, baseball has been treated as a focus of childhood rituals and an emblem of American individuality and fair play throughout much of the twentieth century. It started out, however, as a marginal urban sport associated with drinking and gambling. White describes its progression to an almost mythic status as an idyllic game, popular among people of all ages and classes. He then recounts the owner's efforts, often supported by the legal system, to preserve this image.Baseball grew up in the midst of urban industrialization during the Progressive Era, and the emerging steel and concrete baseball parks encapsulated feelings of neighborliness and associations with the rural leisure of bygone times. According to White, these nostalgic themes, together with personal financial concerns, guided owners toward practices that in retrospect appear unfair to players and detrimental to the progress of the game. Reserve clauses, blacklisting, and limiting franchise territories, for example, were meant to keep a consistent roster of players on a team, build fan loyalty, and maintain the game's local flavor. These practices also violated anti-trust laws and significantly restricted the economic power of the players. Owners vigorously fought against innovations, ranging from the night games and radio broadcasts to the inclusion of African-American players. Nonetheless, the image of baseball as a spirited civic endeavor persisted, even in the face of outright corruption, as witnessed in the courts' leniency toward the participants in the Black Sox scandal of 1919.White's story of baseball is intertwined with changes in technology and business in America and with changing attitudes toward race and ethnicity. The time is fast approaching, he concludes, when we must consider whether baseball is still regarded as the national pastime and whether protecting its image is worth the effort.",,0.0,$30.99,384 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/creating-national-pastime/id820581446?mt=11

Former MLB commissioner Fay Vincent draws from his ongoing oral history of the game to celebrate the era that spans the Miracle Mets through free agency to Cal Ripken’s historic consecutive-games streak. Willie McCovey remembers meeting the Giants’ other Willie and the powerful impact that Willie Mays had on him. He expresses pride that the Giants chose to honor him at their ballpark with McCovey Cove. Teammate Juan Marichal, one of baseball’s Latino pioneers, recalls encountering racism for the first time in America. He recounts fortuitously overhearing a conversation among Latino ballplayers before a Giants-Pirates game that provided him with crucial information about Roberto Clemente. Managers Dick Williams and Earl Weaver assess their Hall of Fame careers. Williams remembers his contentious relationship with Charlie Finley and explains why he never managed for George Stein-brenner. Earl Weaver says he has changed, that umpires were ""fantastic people,"" and that he shouldn’t have gotten thrown out of so many ballgames. Read it here for yourself. Tom Seaver, one of the dominant pitchers of his era, shares a funny incident from his first All-Star game, when he was young and looked even younger, and discloses the important piece of baseball wisdom that Gil Hodges gave him early in his career that has guided him ever since. Don Baylor recalls playing with a variety of teammates and teams, including the remarkable experience of playing in three consecutive World Series with three different teams, going from the 1986 Red Sox that came so close to winning the Series to the 1987 Minnesota Twins team that actually did it.

Bruce Froemming, MLB’s longest-serving umpire, reveals the rules behind the fine art of allowing managers and coaches to have their say and still maintain absolute control over the game.

DBA Independent Publishers Group","From Worst to First, the Improbable Dream Season of the 2013 Red Sox","When John Farrell was introduced as the new Red Sox manager in the fall of 2012, he took over a last-place team lacking talent and cohesion. A franchise that once made Boston proud had become an embarrassment. Just one year later, the Red Sox have won the World Series, their third title in a decade.
There were many keys to the team’s success: General manager Ben Cherington remade the roster with a series of mid-range free-agent signings. The returning players recommitted themselves, bonds were formed, and beards were grown. The Red Sox never had more than a three-game losing streak and led the majors in runs scored. They regained the respect of Red Sox Nation and lifted a city still reeling from the senseless violence that marred its beloved marathon just as the baseball season was getting underway.
With emotions running high and “B Strong” signs cheering them on at Fenway, the Red Sox wrote their own worst-to-first story that brought them to a World Series meeting with who else but the St. Louis Cardinals, the longtime foe who had denied Williams, Pesky, and Doerr in 1946, as well as the Impossible Dream team of 1967, while providing the foil for the lovable “idiots” of 2004. The 2013 season was destined to be just as drama-filled and unforgettable. As in 2004, it would end in victory for the Red Sox. No more curses; in just one season, this was fortune reversed.
It’s a journey that transcends sports—a tale of resolve, resilience, and, finally, redemption. And it’s all chronicled in the new, must-have keepsake book by Triumph Books and the Boston Globe, For Boston: From Worst to First, the Improbable Dream Season of the 2013 Red Sox. Relive each dazzling moment of the team’s latest eventful season and incredible playoff run with this special commemorative book—128 pages of award-winning reporting, vivid storytelling, dramatic photography, complete game summaries, and statistics. Plus, look back at the historic importance of this World Series match-up with a special Sox–Cardinals retrospective section that makes this the perfect souvenir or gift for any fan.
This has been a season to remember for Red Sox fans, a journey of deep lows and great highs that both underline and transcend the sport of baseball. For Boston offers the perfect way to replay those moments and revel in the triumph of a team and a city that refused to be counted out.",,0.0,$7.99,128 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/for-boston/id742386310?mt=11

Previously, the major cities monopolized Texas minor-league ball, but with the rails came small-town teams without which the league may have floundered. Sherman, Denison, Paris, Corsicana, Cleburne, Greenville and Temple teams produced some of the Texas League’s greatest players and provided unprecedented statewide interest. The 1902 Corsicana Oil Citys was one of the most successful teams of the time, claiming the second-best winning percentage and baseball’s most lopsided victory, 51–3 over Texarkana’s Casketmakers. In its only year in the league, Cleburne won the league championship and team owner Doak Roberts discovered the great Tris Speaker.

Statistical analyses of baseball abound: different ways of breaking down everyone’s individual performance, from hitters and pitchers to managers and even owners. But surprisingly, team success-what makes some teams winners over an entire season-has never been looked at with the same statistical rigor. In It Ain’t Over ’Til It’s Over, The Baseball Prospectus Team of Experts introduce the Davenport Method of deciding which races were the most dramatic-the closest, the most volatile-and determine the ten greatest races of modern baseball history. They use these key races (and a few others) to answer the main question: What determines who wins? How important are such things as mid-season trades, how much a manager overworks his pitchers, and why teams have winning and losing streaks? Can one player carry a team?

Once the understanding of what a scout looks for is understood, Perkin delves into the current major leaguers and gives scouting insight on their game, skills, and influence on the sport.

Directed at coaches, managers, players and their parents in youth baseball programs, these books provide information, inspiration and hands on instructional training workouts. Until the 1940s everyone followed one rule book and that was the book used by the professional leagues. Through the middle of the 20th century it was one coach or manager per team. All communities had one semipro and one high school team. Youth teams under age 15 did not get their start until after World War II. Clinics and camps were non existent as well.Major League baseball players were unable to get into the coaching and teaching at these lower levels. Teaching skills were seldom passed on. At the 5 to 8 age level expertise at the kindergarten age had not even set into schools. Today, it is difficult to find good teachers at this level let alone someone who can coach.A practice session until 1960 was primarily hitting and outfield/infield practice. Players who came early to practice would form into groups and play various versions of pepper. There was little time for individual pre game conditioning.Coaches usually came from the local semipro team or a high school with a teacher who might have played or had a P.E. class in college.We are in an entirely new era. Now one has to be a wise parent to point their child to the proper team, recognize a quality coach, the cost out of pocket to play on a team, etc. There are many other instructional variables that will be covered in this guidebook and those to follow in the series, Baseball the Pro Way.The 11 innings (chapters) comprise a full year.

594087266,Five Seasons,Roger Angell,Open Road Media,"Feb 05, 2013","OpenRoad Integrated Media, LLC",A Baseball Companion,"Roger Angell’s chronicle of baseball’s most fascinating and unforgettable yearsClassic New Yorker sportswriter Roger Angell calls 1972 to 1976 “the most important half-decade in the history of the game.” The early to mid-1970s brought unprecedented changes to America’s ancient pastime: astounding performances by Nolan Ryan and Hank Aaron; the intensity of the “best-ever” 1975 World Series between the Cincinnati Reds and the Boston Red Sox; the changes growing from bitter and extended labor strikes and lockouts; and the vast new influence of network television on the game. Angell, always a fan as well as a writer, casts a knowing but noncynical eye on these events, offering a fresh perspective to baseball’s continuing appeal during this brilliant and transformative era.“A book for people who miss good writing, who miss clarity, lucidity, style and passion. It’s a book for all seasons.” —The New York Times Book Review“Roger Angell is the clear-eyed poet laureate of baseball. His books are like long, wonderful strings of base hits by the home team.” —New York Post“Angell . . . comes from the magazine writer’s school of sportswriting: calm, meditative, not deadline driven or space cramped, free to follow the fast-and-slow, squeeze-and-relax rhythms of the game.” —Time“Roger Angell is a stunning writer. . . . A writer who can translate the nuances of the game with perfect clarity.” —The Wall Street JournalRoger Angell (b. 1920) is a celebrated New Yorker writer and editor. First published in the magazine in 1944, he became a fiction editor and regular contributor in 1956; and remains as a senior editor and staff writer. In addition to seven classic books on baseball, which include The Summer Game (1972), Five Seasons (1977), and Season Ticket (1988), he has written works of fiction, humor, and a memoir, Let Me Finish (2006). He edited the short story collection Nothing But You: Love Stories from The New Yorker (1997). In 2011, he was awarded the PEN/ESPN Lifetime Achievement Award for Literary Sports Writing.

543583327,Where's the Play? ,Kendall Gleed,"BookLocker.com, Inc.","Jun 30, 2012","BookLocker.com, Inc.","Boys, Baseball, and the Power of America's Favorite Pastime","The question, “Where’s the play?” may not mean much to the average person, but these were the famous words spoken by our Knothole League baseball coach at any given time on the field, and seared into our tiny little orb-like brains. Ultimately, this oft repeated expression would greatly contribute to what I now look upon as a trifecta: achieving our every hope and dream; restoring distinction and prominence to our community; and saving our sponsor from the ache of financial ruin. My dad barked this signature phrase to challenge our self-thinking out on the field. Little did he or any of us know that these simple words, spoken to us at an impressionable age, would become a beacon to guide our vision of life to this day.
The four main characters: the coach, the sponsor, Robbie (our star pitcher), and me (the weakest link) are each given a chapter so the reader can become better acquainted with them and to help understand their pivotal role in the creation of the dream team. The rest of the team is described in great detail throughout various portions of the book.
Originally, we didn’t seem destined for the success we had. Few kid leagues in the world faced a team as formidable as Shotwell’s Shockers. They were every opponent’s nightmare and every coach’s dream. The Twin Falls Realty Classics (my team) was confronted with just such a curse. The only thing that made it worse was the Shockers knew they were the best, and there was nothing we could do about it—At least, not until we got a new coach (my dad), rearranged our team a bit, and emerged from Tee-ball to fast-pitch.
With the best pitcher in the league and a good coach to help mold his raw skills and teach the fundamentals to us addle-heads of the Peanut League, our little brotherhood of beatniks would have the most amazing championship season we could imagine. Not only did we win it all with a rookie coach in that first year of fast-pitch ball, but we were able to maintain our dominance the following years to the extent that, today we might look back on those days and call ourselves a dynasty.
Plenty of summer fun, laughter, and excitement is interspersed with memories of days gone by in Where’s the Play? which recounts the value of good-hearted, caring coaching and sponsorship, and the joys of playing the game. The narrative will leave the reader inspired by the upbeat, positive, visionary coach; equally enamored by the loveable and affable sponsor; and unavoidably enchanted by a team of misfit kids who, against great odds, fight their way to the elusive championship game in their beloved stadium. The energy leading up to the final contest is rich with anticipation.",,0.0,$4.99,180 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/wheres-the-play/id543583327?mt=11

In fact, statisticians have shown that, for the most part, athletic streaks occur about as often as would be expected by random chance. If one flips a coin a thousand times, many “streaks” of consecutive heads (or tails) will occur along the way. This counterintuitive finding implies that the notion of momentum in sports is greatly overstated.After a brief initial foundation on the study of streaks and relevant methods of statistical analysis, Alan Reifman focuses on actual sports streaks, from the famous—Joe DiMaggio getting at least one hit in fifty-six consecutive games in 1941 and the Los Angeles Lakers winning thirty-three straight games in the 1971–72 season—to the less well-known, such as the University of Dayton men’s basketball team going 0-for-24 on three-point shot attempts in a 2008 game. Reifman also examines psychological and physiological mechanisms in sports performance, as well as the implications of those mechanisms for coaching and sport psychology practice.

957659567,Baseball's All-Time Best Hitters,Michael J. Schell,Princeton University Press,"Dec 03, 2013",Princeton University Press,How Statistics Can Level the Playing Field,"Tony Gwynn is the greatest hitter in the history of baseball. That's the conclusion of this engaging and provocative analysis of baseball's all-time best hitters. Michael Schell challenges the traditional list of all-time hitters, which places Ty Cobb first, Gwynn 16th, and includes just 8 players whose prime came after 1960. Schell argues that the raw batting averages used as the list's basis should be adjusted to take into account that hitters played in different eras, with different rules, and in different ballparks. He makes those adjustments and produces a new list of the best 100 hitters that will spark debate among baseball fans and statisticians everywhere.Schell combines the two qualifications essential for a book like this. He is a professional statistician--applying his skills to cancer research--and he has an encyclopedic knowledge of baseball. He has wondered how to rank hitters since he was a boy growing up as a passionate Cincinnati Reds fan. Over the years, he has analyzed the most important factors, including the relative difficulty of hitting in different ballparks, the length of hitters' careers, the talent pool that players are drawn from, and changes in the game that raised or lowered major-league batting averages (the introduction of the designated hitter and changes in the height and location of the pitcher's mound, for example). Schell's study finally levels the playing field, giving new credit to hitters who played in adverse conditions and downgrading others who faced fewer obstacles. His final ranking of players differs dramatically from the traditional list. Gwynn, for example, bumps Cobb to 2nd place, Rod Carew rises from 28th to 3rd, Babe Ruth drops from 9th to 16th, and Willie Mays comes from off the list to rank 13th. Schell's list also gives relatively more credit to modern players, containing 39 whose best days were after 1960.Using a fun, conversational style, the book presents a feast of stories and statistics about players, ballparks, and teams--all arranged so that calculations can be skipped by general readers but consulted by statisticians eager to follow Schell's methods or introduce their students to such basic concepts as mean, histogram, standard deviation, p-value, and regression.

He opened the door to an NCAA basketball locker room in his explosive bestseller A Season on the Brink. Now, turning his eye to our national pastime, sports journalist John Feinstein explores the colorful and mysterious world of minor-league baseball—a gateway through which all major-league players pass in their careers . . . hoping never to return. Baseball’s minor leagues are a paradox. For some players, the minors are a glorious launching pad toward years of fame and fortune; for others, a crash-landing pad when injury or poor play forces a big leaguer back to a life of obscure ballparks and cramped buses instead of Fenway Park and plush charter planes. Focusing exclusively on the Triple-A level, one step beneath Major League Baseball, Feinstein introduces readers to nine unique men: three pitchers, three position players, two managers, and an umpire. Through their compelling stories, Feinstein pulls back the veil on a league that is chock-full of gifted baseball players, managers, and umpires who are all one moment away from getting called up—or back—to the majors. The stories are hard to believe: a first-round draft pick and pitching ace who rocketed to major-league success before finding himself suddenly out of the game, hatching a presumptuous plan to get one more shot at the mound; a home run–hitting former World Series hero who lived the dream, then bounced among six teams before facing the prospects of an unceremonious end to his career; a big-league All-Star who, in the span of five months, went from being completely out of baseball to becoming a star in the ALDS, then signing a $10 million contract; and a well-liked designated hitter who toiled for eighteen seasons in the minors—a record he never wanted to set—before facing his final, highly emotional chance for a call-up to the big leagues. From Raleigh to Pawtucket, from Lehigh Valley to Indianapolis and beyond, Where Nobody Knows Your Name gives readers an intimate look at a baseball world not normally seen by the fans. John Feinstein gets to the heart of the human stories in a uniquely compelling way, crafting a masterful book that stands alongside his very best works.From the Hardcover edition.",3.73333,3.5,$12.99,384 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/where-nobody-knows-your-name/id707345384?mt=11

It can change a game in a heartbeat, making a tight game into a blowout or a seemingly easy win into a nail-biter. Homers are majestic, powerful, and awe inspiring. And sluggers are the sport's biggest stars, from the days of Babe Ruth through Barry Bonds. David Vincent, called ""The Sultan of Swat Stats"" by ESPN, delves into the long history of the home run with great detail and color. He starts when the rules of the game were highly unstable and sometimes the definition of a home run could change in a park from year to year; follows through the ""Deadball Era,"" when the home run was rare; explores the explosion Babe Ruth brought to baseball in the 1920s; discusses how both world wars affected homer statistics; looks at great home run races such as Maris versus Mantle in 1961; assesses the effects of the juiced ball, juiced players, thin air, and smaller ballparks; and so much more.

For more than a decade, John Sexton has taught a wildly popular New York University course about two seemingly very different things: religion and baseball. Yet Sexton argues that one is actually a pathway to the other. Baseball as a Road to God is about touching that something that lies beyond logical understanding. Sexton illuminates the surprisingly large number of mutual concepts shared between baseball and religion: faith, doubt, conversion, miracles, and even sacredness among many others. Structured like a game and filled with riveting accounts of baseball’s most historic moments, Baseball as Road to God will enthrall baseball fans whatever their religious beliefs may be. In thought-provoking, beautifully rendered prose, Sexton elegantly demonstrates that baseball is more than a game, or even a national pastime: It can be a road to enlightenment.",3.95833,4.0,$9.99,256 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/baseball-as-a-road-to-god/id553281517?mt=11

Austin,UNP - Nebraska,"Apr 01, 2013",The Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska,,"Late in 1937 Hugh Alexander, a kid fresh out of small-town Oklahoma, had just finished his second year playing outfield for the Cleveland Indians when an oil rig accident ripped off his left hand. Within three months he was back with the Indians, but this time as a scout—the youngest ever in Major League history. In the next six decades he signed more players who made it to the Majors than any other scout. His story, Baseball's Last Great Scout, reads like a backroom, bleacher-seat history of twentieth-century baseball—and a primer on what it takes to find a winner. It gives a gritty picture of learning the business on the road, from American Legion field to try-out camp to beer joint, and making the fine distinctions between ""performance"" and ""tools of the trade"" when checking out prospects. Over the years Alexander worked for the Indians, the White Sox, the LA Dodgers, the Phillies, and the Cubs—and signed the likes of Allie Reynolds, Don Sutton, and Marty Bystrom.

He did just that, building a 14-year career that included three all-star appearances, four Gold Gloves, a bout with alcoholism, and the ignominy of being traded for the infamous ""player to be named later."" Now that he's coaching minor leaguers half his age, and his 15-year-old son has the potential to be a fourth-generation major leaguer, Bret is ready to reflect on and tell the story of baseball from the perspective of his family's 70-year history in the sports. Combining the brashness and candor of Ball Four with a dollop of Big Russ and Me sentiment, this book will trace the evolution of the game--on the field and behind the scenes--from Ray Boone's era in the 1950s to Bob Boone's in the 70s and 80s to Bret and Aaron's era in the 90s and 2000s, when players made millions, dined on lobster in the clubhouse, injected themselves with PEDs, and had their choice of ""Annies""--female clingers-on, or as today's players call them, ""road beef."" Along the way, the book will touch on pieces of Boone family lore, including Bret hitting zero dingers in a home run derby and Aaron's home run (if you don't know what this is referring to, then consult the nearest Red Sox fan). Blending nostalgia, behind-the-scenes profanity, close analysis of the game that only players can offer, and insight into baseball's ongoing evolution as a sport and a business, Bret Boone will offer a one-of-a-kind look at America's favorite pastime from a family who has seen it all.From the Hardcover edition.",,0.0,,English,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/home-game/id1031069437?mt=11

No one, however, has ever tried to resurrect the hitting techniques of Cobb, Speaker, Wagner, Lajoie, and their contemporaries. The task is daunting.

Harris's case is presented somewhat narratively, since many of his insights dawned upon him only after painful experiences with coaches both amateur and professional. Aware that the most controversial claim of yesteryear's hitting stars--their ability to step where they saw the pitch coming--seems highly implausible today, he constructs arguments with tireless humor as well as great ingenuity.

579306154,Manchester United: Thirty Memorable Games from the Sixties,Iain McCartney,JMD Media,"Nov 15, 2012",JMD Media,,"England's 1966 World Cup victory brought thousands of new supporters flocking to games and Manchester United revelled in the post 1966 boom, never looking back, as far as attendances were concerned. Within the pages of this book, we travel back to those fondly remembered days and relive the defeats, as well as the victories in Manchester United's Thirty Memorable Games of the Sixties. The sixties are still considered something of a mythical decade. The Profumo Affair rocked the government; match fixing allegations rocked football; music, well it simply rocked to the sound of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Tamla Motown; while the Stretford End rocked to the brilliance of Best, Law and Charlton. Many who were around at the time will confide that the 'free love' part of the decade simply passed them by. If you were a football lover, however, you certainly made sure that you did not miss Manchester United and the merlinic trio if they were within travelling distance of where you lived. In the 1960s, and indeed the decade preceding them, supporters would not think twice about going to watch a team other than their favourites, as there was a wealth of exciting players scattered throughout the First Division at this particular time. Manchester United of course, were blessed with the three European Footballers of the Year, but they only strutted their stuff together in the latter half of the decade. Strange as it may seem, the United of the early part of the sixties, although containing some talented individuals, were a team who could scale the heights one week, while seven days later be so mediocre that slow hand claps and boos would replace the clatter of the wooden rattles as they celebrated yet another goal. Football was still relatively free of any tactical hindrances and games, often played out on a quagmire of a pitch, flowed from end to end with gay abandon. It was a sport, not a business.

853746889,Mancini - Diary of a Champion,Harry Harris,Empire Publications,"Jun 01, 2012",Directebooks Ltd,,"This is the inside story of Manchester City's first title in 44 years and perhaps the most remarkable football season of all-time written from the point of view of the man in the eye of the storm - City manager Roberto Mancini. A season that ended so dramatically, with two injury-time goals at the Etihad to secure the club's first Premier League title, had begun serenely for the Sky Blues as they romped to the top of the league scoring goals almost at will, culminating in a 6-1 romp at Old Trafford. Holding the lead at the top from September until March, their title juggernaut was halted by Manchester United's incredible run of performances and the loss of form of key players. It took a remarkable collapse from United to hand back the initiative, a second chance Mancini's men gratefully accepted with a run of six wins to secure the title - yet there was so much more to this incredible season. Controversy was never far away: Carlos Tevez on-off transfer, his shocking refusal to come off the bench in Munich and his subsequent 'strike' became an unwanted distraction. Yet his return just in time to add much needed impetus to City's waning title challenge, made him a hero once more for supporters who wanted him 'rot in the reserves'. Then there were the antics of Mario Balotelli; the fireworks on and off the pitch including several red cards and a disastrous performance against Arsenal that appeared to undermine his manager and team-mates. So often a club regarded as the punch-line of British football, Harry Harris looks at City's rise from the ashes following the influx of Mansour's millions. The FA Cup triumph that ended the club's 35-year wait for a major trophy and October's stunning 6-1 derby victory at Old Trafford appeared to signal a shift in power in Manchester. City's title win has confirmed that an exciting new era in British football is about to dawn and this book follows every kick, tantrum and controversy throughout their remarkable season.",,0.0,$4.99,672 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/mancini-diary-of-a-champion/id853746889?mt=11

The name of Charlie Buchan also looms large even today in the tale of a football club whose history can be cut like a knife. Although Charlie Buchan might still be a revered figure on Wearside, his team mates aren't and yet the 1912/13 season, which is the subject of this book, produced arguably the fi nest Sunderland team ever to grace the famous red and white striped shirts. It came the closest the club has ever come to winning the double, almost became the first English football club to achieve it in the 20th century, yet the names of Albert Milton, Frank Cuggy, Jackie Mordue and the rest of Sunderland's league champions and FA Cup finalists that season have long since been cast into the annals of the club's history.

The was team guided by Bob Kyle, Sunderland AFC's longest serving manager, he too also forgotten. This book looks at the matches and the characters that shaped an immensely successful 1912/13 season. Although they were crowned league champions, perhaps an enduring highlight, although it ultimately ended in defeat, was the now legendary FA Cup final which took place at The Crystal Palace in April 1913, before a world record crowd.

Having retraced his Gate 17 roots, Marco sets out to explain the mythical concept of 'Being Chels', the peerless state of true blue mind that followers of Chelsea's rivals struggle to come to terms with. Drawing his conclusions from impromptu encounters with Blues fanatics he meets en-route, including club owner, Mr Abramovich, Marco is left in no doubt that Chelsea Football Club is an association, a fellowship of mankind founded on the commonly shared belief that what goes around comes around and that when it comes around you should make the most of it because it might not come around again for years.",,0.0,$2.99,309 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/one-man-went-to-mow/id624644631?mt=11

Pele's in there, so is Bobby Moore, and what all-time player list would be complete without Terry Hurlock? More than just a collection of great players, Perry explains in his own inimitable way exactly why these players made the cut. So, while Pele would make everyone's list for his amazing goal-scoring feats, Perry can't help but admire the Brazilian's drug of choice—Viagra—to guarantee he still keeps scoring despite pushing 70! From Cryuff's turn and 20-a-day habit to Brazilian maestro Ronaldinho, who still manages to be the best player in the world despite being a fixture on the Barcelona party circuit; and from the flamboyant skills, poetry, and kung-fu fighting of Eric Cantona to the va-va-voom of Thierry Henry; Perry has a host of great players from the history of the game—from the 1960s up to the present day—and from all corners of the globe. Packed full of facts and uproarious stories from the man himself, Perry Groves' Football Heroes is guaranteed to have you believing, just for a little while, that We All Live in a Perry Groves World.

507259843,Justin Fashanu,Jim Read,JMD Media,"Mar 01, 2012",JMD Media,The Biography,"For over 20 years Justin Fashanu was the only professional footballer anywhere in the world who had come out as gay. This first account of his life shows how he survived the bullying of Brian Clough, public rejection by his brother, John, and abuse from the terraces. But it also tells of clubs eager to sign him, support from managers and teammates, and affection from supporters.
As a child, Justin Fashanu was put into care and eventually raised by white foster parents in Norfolk. At a time when black players were routinely subjected to racist abuse he rose to fame as a forward for Norwich City where he scored a famous goal. He became the first black player to command a £1 million transfer fee when he joined Nottingham Forest. A knee injury forced him out of top level football. Desperate for the wealth and celebrity he had lost, Fashanu’s attempts to sell fabricated sex scandals to the tabloid press ended in a humiliating exit from Britain. Based in the USA for several years he returned to England when facing charges of sexual assault and committed suicide.
This meticulously researched book shows Justin Fashanu to be a complex character, whose life was full of incident, conflict and controversy on and off the pitch. Perhaps the biggest conflict of all was between his beliefs as a born-again Christian and his sexual orientation, one which was still tormenting him in the last hours of his life.
At a time when British professional football is trying to tackle its reputation for homophobia, this biography is a timely reminder that an openly gay man has already played for clubs in England and Scotland. It has taken this detailed investigation to give a balanced account of his positive and negative experiences.
Justin Fashanu was a charming man who became a reluctant pioneer. He showed courage in persisting with his career and speaking back to his critics. This flawed hero is a significant figure in football, in the story of black people in Britain and in gay history. This is the story of his fascinating life.

Por ello, nuestro proyecto parte del respeto a ese trabajo existente y pretendemos dar una propuesta fundamentada, para aquellos clubs que consideren conveniente hacer variaciones en el funcionamiento de su fútbol formativo, relanzándolo a nuevos objetivos.
Creemos necesario disponer de un proyecto organizativo de suficiente nivel para la Cantera de nuestro Club, con un Organigrama operativo, desarrollado por áreas o parcelas de trabajo y con descripción y normas para prestar un adecuado servicio.
El Fútbol Formativo debe ser un proyecto entroncado en el Club, en su Consejo de Administración e incluso en la masa social.
El proyecto hay que enraizarlo en todos los estamentos internos y debe incluir objetivos deportivos de alto rendimiento, pero no hay que olvidar que los Clubs son “Sociedades Anónimas Deportivas”, y el factor socio-económico, es primordial, por lo que hay que articular ambos objetivos.
Abogamos por mantener y desarrollar un estilo propio en lo que respecta a la formación integral de jóvenes futbolistas, pero con aplicación de aspectos organizativos y metodológicos modernos.
Este libro, trata de facilitar el trabajo a realizar en todo Club de élite, que buscando optimizar sus resultados económicos y deportivos, piensen en potenciar y relanzar su Fútbol Formativo como base de su crecimiento institucional.
Los autores de la presente obra, llevamos muchos años haciendo el trabajo práctico y día a día, en la formación de jóvenes futbolistas y siempre lo hemos hecho con fundamentación y enriqueciéndolo con las experiencias de los mejores analistas de las distintas áreas formativas y estudiando los factores de rendimiento que deben concurrir en el futbolista de élite.
Basados en nuestra experiencia, creemos que los Clubs que apuesten por su Cantera, estarán mas cerca de conseguir sus objetivos deportivos, su éxito social como institución y mas cerca de una economía más saneada.
Lo que sí nos parece difícil, es que la dotación de plantillas de los Clubs de élite se formen a golpe de talonario exclusivamente, con pocas opciones a la Cantera, porque eso no hay patrimonio que lo aguante, y luego llegan las debacles económicas, que pueden arrastrar a los Clubs a delicadas situaciones.
Creemos en la Cantera, en un Fútbol Formativo organizado y desarrollado con calidad para que aporte la base de las primeras plantillas de nuestros Clubs, ayudando a sanear su economía.""",,0.0,$10.99,148 Pages,Spanish,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/organizacion-del-futbol-formativo/id998839778?mt=11

One of British soccer's true greats
Plucked from Irish club Distillery by Nottingham Forest in 1971, the young Irishman went on an incredible jouney that saw him clash against some of the game's biggest characters. He twice won the European Cup. A talented midfielder, O'Neill played for Manchester City in between spells at Norwich before ending his playing career at Notts County in 1985. As the first Roman Catholic captain of his country, O'Neill marshaled Northern Ireland's golden generation, who battled through to the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 1982, knocking out hosts Spain on the way. But soccer was by no means the only path O'Neill could have taken: he was forced to curtail a law degree at Queens University Belfast. He cut his soccer management teeth at Grantham Town and Shepshed Dynamo, and his stock grew as he took Wycombe Wanderes for the GM Vauxhall Conference to the old Second Division in a matter of years. However it was at Celtic that O'Neill would enjoy his most trophy-laden years, winning an unprecedented treble in his first year before narrowly missing out on UEFA Cup glory a year later, before retiring. A legend from his playing days, he returned in 2006 to manage the Republic of Ireland national side. This biography details his incredible career, a must have for the fans of the Northern Ireland legend.

Jimmy Jones, a prolific goalscorer for Belfast Celtic, was dragged from the pitch by the opposing fans, and beaten so badly that his career was ended. And with that ended the existence of Belfast Celtic after fifty-eight years in the game. In Political Football Barry Flynn traces the development of the team from its beginnings, in an attempt to discover the reasons behind the tragic events. Like that of every football club, the story of Belfast Celtic is one of victories and defeats. Theirs, however, is a story riddled with violence and hatred culminating in near-murder. Political Football reveals how the political and social unrest that took hold of the city of Belfast was reflected in the history of the club, how tensions between two communities spilled onto both the pitch and the terraces, with devastating consequences.",,0.0,$15.99,176 Pages,English,History,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/political-football/id500969628?mt=11

Traditional football clubs will struggle to keep pace with wealthy owners and corporate giants who treat them as mere commodities. National treasures can literally disappear overnight through self-indulgent management. The future of football may well rest with virtues like loyalty, faith and a good heart, on which great clubs like Liverpool are built. Author M.J. Curtis, takes us on a journey where old-fashioned values oppose the modern day superclass motif; that more is more.
Fortunately there are a multitude of fans who believe we live in a society not an economy. Football fans love the game and do not see their club as a transaction. They see themselves as part of a community. They love their team and stick by them no matter what. That's football. Real football.
In Liverpool KISS, readers find out if virtue has any place left in modern sport. The story is a poignant sports adventure for all football fans given the changing nature of club ownership in the 21st century.

Matchfixing i fodbold? Er det ikke noget med en dansk 2. divisionsspiller, der har ""spillet på egne kampe""? Glem det, matchfixing på den internationale scene er big business styret af den kinesiske mafia. Mere indbringende end narko, trafficking og illegal våbenhandel – og stort set uden risiko. Matchfixing i fodbold er højteknologisk online-betting, der bringer mindelser om aktiehandlen på verdens børser. Og det er – i den anden ende af fødekæden – mænd med sjove hatte, der sidder på tribunerne til en fodboldkamp og sender skjulte beskeder til spillerne eller dommeren.
Det er én måde, det foregår på. Der er mange andre, og i Brett Forrests sensationelle bog Matchfixeren kommer du for første gang med hele vejen ind i fodboldens skyggeverden og ser det med egne øjne. Mød Wilson Perumal, engang småfusker i 80’ernes Singapore og Malaysia og i dag en af verdens største matchfixere. Og hans modstander: Chris Eaton, forhenværende politimand i Interpol og tidligere øverste sikkerhedschef i det internationale fodboldforbund, FIFA.
Matchfixeren er en true crime-thriller om Chris Eatons jagt på Perumal og matchfixingens bagmænd. Det er en historie, der tager dig med til fiktive fodboldkampe i Afrika, til den store matchfixingskandale i Finland, til VM i Sydafrika og rundt i det syndige og mærkværdige Asien, hvor intet er, hvad det giver sig ud for, og hvor gamblingmarkedet er det glade vanvid. Og så kommer du med til FIFA’s hovedkvarter i Zürich, hvor kampen mod matchfixing i Det Smukke Spil burde være mest indædt, men langtfra er det.",,0.0,$21.99,304 Pages,Danish,True Crime,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/matchfixeren/id883173146?mt=11

There were a number of great players that graced the pitches of Great Britain in the 1960s and 1970s. This book tells the story of one of them. Gordon Banks is still regarded as England s finest ever goalkeeper. His club career took him to Chesterfield, Leicester City and Stoke City. He was paid £2 a match at Chesterfield, and his transfer from Leicester to Stoke was for £50,000 well below some current Premiership players wages today! Capped seventy-three times by England, Gordon went on to lift the World Cup as England s goalkeeper and make arguably the save of the century in Mexico in 1970. The youngest of four brothers from Sheffield, Gordon abandoned plans to become a bricklayer when Chesterfield came looking. He was later to marry and have three children. As television allowed fans to watch from the comfort of their own living rooms or the pub, Gordon Banks was ever present, and he remains much admired and revered to this day.1",,0.0,$9.99,160 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/gordon-banks-a-biography/id766385518?mt=11

In the course of a career which took him from Corporation pitches in the north of Glasgow to Wembley and further afield at various times he regularly played alongside Bill Shankly, Matt Busby, Gordon Smith and Willie Waddell. As a juvenile player in Glasgow he was described by Sir Alex Ferguson's father as a 'star' and he went on to play with distinction for Ashfield, St Johnstone, Everton, St Mirren, Hibernian and Rangers. He assisted Everton to win the League Championship in 1939, toured North America in the same year with the SFA and was the outstanding player of the touring party, won several trophies while playing as a 'guest' player with Hibernian during the Second World War and represented Scotland in nine war-time internationals against England. In 1945 he came to Ibrox and was a regular at outside-left in the very successful Rangers side of the immediate post-war years.
As well as providing a statistical record of Jimmy Caskie's career the book places this against the background of the turbulent times in which football was being played. It deals with such issues as the numbering of players, dual control of games by two referees, concessionary gates for the unemployed during the Depression and the dangers associated with large crowds at games which were not all-ticket. The problems faced by football during the Second World War, such as the 'guest' player system, the controversey surrounding reserved occupations for players and the shortage of kit and balls brought about by rationing, are discussed. Post-war football had its own problems in the shape of severe winter weather which resulted in games being played in fog on frozen, heavily sanded pitches, league reconstruction, a threatened players' strike (in which Jimmy Caskie took a leading part) and disputes with the authorities over industrial absenteeism caused by the playing of games on mid-week afternoons (there were no floodlights) and with the chancellor of the exchequer over gate admission prices and these are also discussed. The circumstances which led to the 1947 boardroom coup at Ibrox and the decision by the SFA not to send a team to Brazil for the World Cup in 1950 despite receiving a specific invitation from FIFA to do so are explained.
In short the book highlights the differences between the way football was played and organised before, during and after the Second World War and the modern game.",,0.0,$6.99,156 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/possilpark-to-ibrox/id948682542?mt=11

599558568,Norman 'Black Jake' Uprichard,Chris Westcott,Amberley,"Jul 22, 2012",Amberley Publishing Holdings Limited,,"This is the fascinating tale of a young lad from Lurgan, a bit of a rebel, who excelled both at soccer and Gaelic football. His dual allegiances incurred the wrath of the Gaelic Athletic Association hierarchy and he received a mandatory life ban when his dalliances with the 'other' game were discovered. As a teenager Norman was thrust into the limelight by virtue of a move to the most famous English club of the day, Arsenal, before spells at Swindon Town and Portsmouth. Full international honours soon followed, and Norman was capped eighteen times for Northern Ireland. What makes this book so compelling is how it captures the social context of the period of the 1930s through to the culmination of Norman's career, when Northern Ireland reached the World Cup finals at Sweden in 1958. All this against a backdrop of recurring injuries and a serious fall-out with Norman's club manager at Portsmouth, which provoked him to write an explosive article for the Daily Express, unheard of at a time before the maximum wage was abolished, when footballers were considered by many no more than slaves of their club. Norman was a character. Some of his escapades may seem far-fetched but are wholly true as he recalls the highlights of his life and career.

Tienen lugar cada cuatro años y vamos a por la vigésima edición. Las internacionales obreras no alcanzan esa cifra ni de lejos. Los concilios, que se celebran desde el siglo IV, sí, aunque por poco. Los Juegos Olímpicos también, pero envidian la popularidad de los Mundiales de Fútbol, que de alguna manera nacieron de ellos. La Copa Mundial de la FIFA, su nombre oficial en la actualidad, nos ha traído nuevos héroes ya mitológicos: Pelé, Beckenbauer, Maradona, Ronaldo
El primer Mundial celebrado en Uruguay, en medio de la crisis económica que siguió al crack de la bolsa de Nueva York, no tuvo mucho eco. Solo participaron trece equipos sin necesidad de fase previa de clasificación. En el próximo que se jugará en Brasil, en medio de otra crisis no menos dura que la del 29, jugarán treinta y dos conjuntos. Se calcula que el número de espectadores que lo seguirán rebasará con creces los mil millones. En este libro se encuentran todos los datos de las confrontaciones realizadas hasta hoy, según el riguroso orden cronológico de la competición. Al final de cada uno de los capítulos, que se corresponden con cada una de las ediciones de la Copa del Mundo, M. Á. Mateo y J. A. Bueno -autores ya de una exhaustiva y universal Historia del Fútbol- han destacado un dream team y un quinteto de jugadores.

One hundred matches are featured, starting with a 5-2 drubbing of Sheffield United in 1967 and ending with the 4-1 triumph in the first derby at the cursed City of Manchester Stadium. Not all of the games in between provided quite as much pleasure. The book contains affectionate portraits of the City greats down the years, together with fortright appraisals on the rich assortment of blundering buffoons which the club has seen fit to inflict upon its famously loyal supporters. However, even when describing the club's darkest moments and teh individuals responsible for them, humour is never far away - be it biting, dry, self-deprecating or just plain daft. This approach capture perfectly the essence of what it is to be a City fan. The book also embraces diverse elements of popular culture over the period. Musical reference points abound, whilst the likes of Sid Waddell, Curly Watts, Ian Hislop, Tony the Tiger and Cyanide Sid Cooper all somehow find themselves featuring in the story. And how the hell did Albert Pierrepoint get in there? The games chosen generally present a balanced picture of the club's ups and downs over the years but - even in the interests of fair-mindedness - the author can't bring himself to include any of the numerous defeats suffered at the hands of Manchester United. After reading the book, you'll understand why. When it comes to United, we are not dealing with a fair-minded man. All long-term followers of football causes will be well familiar with the emotional peaks and troughs described so strikingly in this book. Most, like the author, will have experienced more troughs than peaks. But it's the range of imaginative, often scarcely credible, ways in which City have brought both highs and lows into the lives of their fans which truly sets them apart.

Especially when the same man became the first manager in Britain to take his club to a European final. Scot Symon did all that and more and yet he is now an almost forgotten Rangers manager. Scot Symon actually took Rangers to two European finals and had he won one, his place in history would have been assured. Instead, he became Ibrox’s forgotten man, his contribution woefully neglected. Now, in Great Scot, David Leggat tells the fascinating story of Scot Symon and shows how he helped shape the history of Rangers, managing legendary players such as John Greig, Willie Henderson and the greatest of them all, Jim Baxter who gave his genius to Symon’s most outstanding team. And among the biggest names in Scottish football, past and present, who tell their Symon stories, there is a heartfelt tribute to Scot Symon from the last signing he made for Rangers Sir Alex Ferguson. With such support, Great Scot sets out to show that James Scotland Symon was one of the most remarkable managers Scotland has ever produced and why he now deserves his rightful, prominent place in the history of Rangers and Scottish football.",,0.0,$1.99,256 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/great-scot/id570548114?mt=11

1031325965,Luis Suarez,Frank Worrall,John Blake,"Apr 01, 2015","Chicago Review Press, Inc. DBA Independent Publishers Group",The Biography of the World's Most Controversial Footballer,"
He's the best striker in soccer today—and the most controversial—and this is the first biography of the Uruguayan superstar
He has transformed Liverpool into a title-chasing team, but Suarez has also consistently grabbed the headlines for all the wrong reasons. In this first biography on the player, soccer biographer Frank Worrall digs deep to reveal what makes Suarez tick as a soccer player and a man. It tells the full story of how a troubled boy from a poverty-stricken neighborhood became the most coveted striker in world soccer today. By the age of 18 he was in the first team at Nacional and played a major role in their 2006 league triumph. Yet, for all the accolades he was earning, he missed his childhood sweetheart, Sofia, who had left Montevideo after her parents moved to Barcelona. Now Luis had a new ambition: to join a club in Europe so they could be together again. Fortunately, Luis earned a move to Holland and was reunited with the girl who would eventually become his wife, becoming the star player at Groningen before moving to Dutch giants, Ajax. Events took a turn for the worse when he became public enemy number one at the 2010 World Cup after handballing on the line in Uruguay's quarter-final against Ghana. Next, his time in Holland ended in shame when he was banned for biting an opponent, earning the unwanted nickname of ""The Cannibal of Ajax."" In January 2011, Liverpool provided him with an escape route from Amsterdam and he quickly became the hero of the Kop with his spectacular repertoire of goals. He was lauded as the best number seven at the club since the legendary Kenny Dalglish—but also lambasted for biting Branislav Ivanovic and becoming embroiled in a race row with Patrice Evra. Hero and villain, this is the full, undiluted story of Luis Suarez, the King of the Kop.",,0.0,$8.99,240 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/luis-suarez/id1031325965?mt=11

Antonio Conte come calciatore, è stato capitano e simbolo della Juventus (13 stagioni, 5 scudetti, 1 Champions League, 1 Coppa Intercontinentale, 1 Coppa UEFA, 1 Supercoppa UEFA); in Nazionale è stato vicecampione del mondo nel 1994 e vicecampione d’Europa nel 2000.
Diventato allenatore, ha riportato il Bari in serie A; passato alla Juventus, è stato Campione d'Italia per 3 stagioni consecutive (2012, 2013, 2014). Dal 19 agosto 2014 è c.t. della Nazionale italiana. Tra i riconoscimenti personali: 3 Panchine d’oro come migliore allenatore di Serie A (2012, 2013, 2014) e 1 Globe Soccer Awards come miglior allenatore dell’anno (2013).
L'autobiografia di Conte Testa, cuore e gambe (Rizzoli) ha venduto 20.000 copie.
Il libro di Alessandro Alciato racconta, per la prima volta, il metodo di lavoro di Antonio Conte, c.t. della Nazionale, attraverso episodi assolutamente inediti. Tutti i capitoli sono legati alla sua leadership e ai meccanismi attraverso cui essa si realizza: dietro al grande allenatore c'è anche un grande motivatore, e questa è proprio la parte che rivela l’autore.
La gestione del gruppo, la preparazione della partita e l’importanza dell’intervallo (con le sue sfuriate), il modo unico e schietto di comunicare, i litigi con i dirigenti, le pagine dei giornali appiccicate alla porta dello spogliatoio per caricare i giocatori, le riunioni tecniche con i giornalisti (è l’unico allenatore al mondo a farle)… Metodo Conte spiega le prodigiose doti del personaggio ma mette in luce anche gli aspetti negativi della sua personalità (come la totale mancanza di fiducia verso l’ambiente in cui lavora, da cui discende la mancanza di rapporti con i colleghi).
Il volume comprende anche preziose testimonianze – anche queste inedite – di personaggi che ne hanno accompagnato la crescita umana e sportiva.",,0.0,,Italian,Italian,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/metodo-conte/id1006665085?mt=11
996997264,"Procuratore? No, grazie!",Luca Vargiu,Mazzanti Libri,"May 20, 2015",ME Publisher,,"Perché un libro così? Se lo chiede anche Felice Accame nella prefazione. Perché un agente di calciatori, giovane ma pur sempre attivo nell’ambiente di competenza, sente il desiderio, quasi la necessità, di scrivere in un libro tutto il disagio che gli deriva dal suo lavoro e, mettendosi controcorrente rispetto all’andazzo generale, intende denunciarne i vizi, l’immoralità, la contraddittorietà? E lui, l’autore, come fa a convivere con questo sistema e poi a denunciarlo apertamente? La risposta la fornisce direttamente e francamente lo stesso Vargiu: “Ho deciso di appuntare le situazioni più particolari nelle quali mi sono venuto a trovare, e così, appunto dopo appunto, mi sono ritrovato con una storia interessante da raccontare. Raccontando quello che accade a bordo campo mi rivolgo ai giocatori e alle famiglie che pensano di trovare nel calcio la via facile per il successo, mentre descrivendo tutto quello che accade al di fuori del campo mi rivolgo alle tante persone che credono di poter entrare nel dorato mondo pallonaro con facilità e senza competenza alcuna”. Sono parole sue. E queste parole rispecchiano fedelmente il contenuto del libro e le sue conclusioni insieme al suo messaggio etico. Il calcio italiano è malato. Non è una novità ma siano addetti ai lavori siano semplici appassionati, quando si intende entrare nei merito dei motivi e prevederne i metodi di guarigione, si limitano ad analisi e ragionamenti generici e spesso prigionieri di pregiudizi e luoghi comuni. Vargiu si spinge al di là del confine del “detto e non detto” per svelarci – senza risparmiare una certa brutalità cronistica – le reali sconcezze del mondo calcistico italiano, attraverso certo la “finzione letteraria” ma senza concedere sconti a nessuno. Nemmeno a se stesso.
Luca Vargiu, come dice Elisabetta Bucciarelli nella postfazione, è uno strano procuratore di calcio ancora in tempo a cambiar mestiere. Genovese e genoano, vive nel cuneese con moglie, due figlie e una gatta che del Calcio non sopportano nulla. Agente di calciatori dal 2009, racconta le sue (dis)avventure pallonare e il mondo del calcio con i suoi personaggi particolari in un blog, www.pallecalciepallonisgonfiati e in questo libro.

878617879,Græsset er altid grønnere i Brasilien,Henrik Brandão Jönsson,ArtPeople,"May 22, 2014",ArtPeople A/S,Historien om verdens bedste fodboldland,"Med fem VM-titler og en nærmest endeløs række af stjerner op gennem historien er Brasilien fodboldens stormagt nr. 1. Inden det forestående VM har den svenske korrespondent og brasilienkender Henrik Brandão Jönsson rejst det mægtige land tyndt for at trænge ind under huden på det brasilianske folks forhold til det smukke spil. Et forhold, der er lige så passioneret og voldsomt, som det komplekse brasilianske samfund er.
Resultatet er et brag af en bog, der tager læseren med langt ind i den brasilianske virkelighed og møder nogle af de største fodboldprofiler. Blandt andre måltyven og problemmageren Romário, der i dag er toppolitiker, trænerlegenden Mario Zagallo, vidunderbarnet Neymar og i den mere kuriøse ende: driblelegenden Garrinchas uægte svenske søn. Læs også om 80’ernes landsholdskaptajn, Sócrates, som satte gang i demokratibevægelsen og væltede militærdiktaturet. Om VM-målmanden Barbosa, der lukkede et mål ind og aldrig blev tilgivet. Og om Confederations Cup i 2013, hvor befolkningen satte bål i gaderne, og landsholdet rejste sig af asken.
Græsset er altid grønnere i Brasilien skildrer den brasilianske fodbolds historie fra Charles Miller, der gik i land i 1890’erne med Brasiliens første læderkugle under armen, over Pelé og den gyldne generation til vore dages titelaspiranter med Neymar i spidsen. Men det er lige så meget en bog om nutidens Brasilien – et land, som i det nye århundrede har undergået kæmpe omvæltninger og i dag udgør en af verdens stærkeste økonomier.",,0.0,$21.99,264 Pages,Danish,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/gr-sset-er-altid-gr-nnere/id878617879?mt=11

Brazil's total expenditures are thought to have been as much as $20 billion for the World Cup this summer and Qatar, which will be the site of the 2022 World Cup, is estimating that it will spend $200 billion.How did we get here? And is it worth it? Those are among the questions noted sports economist Andrew Zimbalist answers in Circus Maximus: The Economic Gamble Behind Hosting the Olympics and the World Cup. Both the Olympics and the World Cup are touted as major economic boons for the countries that host them, and the competition is fierce to win hosting rights. Developing countries especially see the events as a chance to stand in the world's spotlight. Circus Maximus traces the path of the Olympic Games and the World Cup from noble sporting events to exhibits of excess. It exposes the hollowness of the claims made by their private industry boosters and government supporters, all illustrated through a series of case studies ripping open the experiences of Barcelona, Sochi, Rio, and London.
Zimbalist finds no net economic gains for the countries that have played host to the Olympics or the World Cup. While the wealthy may profit, those in the middle and lower income brackets do not, and Zimbalist predicts more outbursts of political anger like that seen in Brazil surrounding the 2014 World Cup.",,0.0,$18.99,174 Pages,English,Economics,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/circus-maximus/id950072835?mt=11

Along with brothers Jim and Willie, the McLean’s have had a huge impact on the Scottish game. Now, in Football in the Blood, Tommy tells his story for the first time and reveals the highs and lows of a remarkable career. After success with Kilmarnock as part of the 1964/65 Championship-winning team, Tommy moved on to Rangers and was an integral part of the European Cup Winners’ Cup team in 1972, later also becoming one of Jock Wallace’s treble-winning heroes. Later, when he hung up his boots, Tommy moved into management, firstly at Morton and then at Motherwell where he brought the club from the brink of bankruptcy to a Scottish Cup final and European football. Now Tommy McLean discusses openly his and brother Jim’s courageous decision to face each other as opposing managers in the Scottish Cup final just days after the death of their father, and describes the personal turmoil behind the scenes during one of the most difficult periods of his life. He also reveals the real ins and outs of his Hearts managerial stint, his controversial six days as manager of Raith Rovers and what it was like to work with his brother Jim McLean at Dundee United.

The intervening eighty years have seen Town leapfrog around the divisions, but it was all so different in the 1920s. The club was feted the world over; the team was littered with international players, and the name of manager Herbert Chapman was revered throughout the land.To mark their success, Huddersfield Town were heavily featured in the cigarette and trade cards of the day. Many were black and white or sepia, but there were also colour items, all of which now command a high price at any fair or auction site.Roger Pashby presents a selection of his many trade and cigarette cards, and hopes that they will bring to mind something of the proud history of this West Yorkshire club. The vast majority of them concentrate on the ‘good times’ from 1910 to the 1950s, as these are also some of the hardest cards to find.
Now into their second century as a member of the Football League, it is hoped that Town will soon head back to the more lofty perches of the English League pyramid; until then, these images may suffice to recall the successes of a bygone, happier age.

For many decades it was strictly controlled but in recent years laws regarding gambling on sport have been relaxed. A Government Act of 1960 legalised off-course bookmaking, which led to the opening of betting offices where customers could place cash bets on horse racing and many other sports.
There is a substantial market in Britain for betting on sport. Initially horse racing was the main betting sport but now more is wagered on soccer than any other sport. It is still possible to bet on soccer matches through The Pools.
One of the main developments in betting legislation in Britain was the introduction of the National Lottery in 1993. This led to a more significant gambling culture and saw increased levels of interest in traditional sports betting through bookmakers.
Even though since the start of the 1990s there has been a massive growth in sports betting, wagering on sports has always been a popular pastime in the UK. Certain events and circumstances fostered more interest in this activity and the industry looks set to continue to grow with more events shown live on television, creating more betting opportunities.",,0.0,$2.99,88 Pages,English,Reference,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/guide-to-sports-betting/id662511832?mt=11

It begins over a century ago, when Mr. George Holcroft, was given charge of Leigh St. Peters R.L.F.C. in 1889.
He married and when his family grew up, Jack, Harry, William and Tom all played for local teams. They married and George's grandsons Bert and Bill also played.
Bert Holcroft has been a distinguished servant for the game of Rugby all his life. He holds coaching certificates from BOTH the Australian and British governing bodies - one of only a handful of men to achieve such an honour in the game's history.
For 20-odd years Bert Holcroft has had one of the unlikeliest jobs in sport - teaching Australian Rugby Coaches how to coach!
Considering the Australian dominance of World Rugby in recent years, that might seem a par with taking coal to Newcastle.
But make no mistake, Bert Holcroft has done as much as anyone to ensure Australia's re-emergence as a major Rugby power.
On the face of it, Australia wouldn't seem to need any outside help, let alone from a Pom. Their record of only one Test defeat since 1978 speaks for itself. But Bert's reputation is nation-wide ""down under"" - quite simply he's one of the best in the business.
Bert, who played for Leigh between 1950-60, has spent much of his latter years Down Under lecturing to top-grade coaches in New South Wales.
Born and bred in Cameron Street, Leigh, Bert has few peers when it comes to teaching the basics of the 13 a side game. Since emigrating in the late 60's, Bert has dedicated his life to coaching and fitness techniques. Teams in Queensland, New South Wales and Sydney have all come under his influence - often with spectacular results. Bert's credentials are impeccable.
Last summer, he achieved the highest accolade in Australia - his Grade Three certificate personally signed by the then Australian league chairman Kevin Humphreys and the Director of Coaching, Peter Corcoran. Three years earlier, Bert has sailed through his Grade One and Two with flying colours. In 1953, he was awarded his senior coaching certificate in England.
Bert, who held a number of posts at Hilton Park before emigrating to Australia, has spent a lot of his time heavily involved with Rugby in the universities there. He became director of coaching for the University of New South Wales and later coach of the Combined Universities side.
Coaching Accreditation awarded by the Australian Institute of Sport, Department of Sport and Recreation NSW and the NSW Rugby League for administration, as well as being awarded National Coaching Certificates in both Britain and Australia - one of only a handful of people to do so.
Eventually the offer of a job in Sydney came - to coach Premiership glamorous club, Eastern Suburbs.",,0.0,$9.99,164 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/book-4-soccer-coaching-knowledge/id1042248251?mt=11

Football's First One Hundred Years provides a very detailed picture of the football played outside the confines of the public schools, revealing a culture that was every bit as sophisticated and influential as that found within their prestigious walls.Football, The First Hundred Years sets forth a completely revisionist thesis, offering a different perspective on almost every aspect of the established history of the formative years of the game.

1036189489,Muzzy,Muzzy Izzet & Lee Marlow,Trinity Mirror Sportmedia,"Sep 02, 2015",Trinity Mirror Digital Media Ltd,My Story,"For nearly a decade, Muzzy Izzet was a regular in Leicester City’s midfield – a key figure in a team which defied critics and made history.
Two good feet. Stamina. Decent in the air. He could run, shoot, pass, dribble, read the game, track back, tackle and score goals, brilliant goals, and one – a bicycle kick at Grimsby Town in 2002 – still rated as Leicester City’s greatest-ever goal.
A half-English/half-Turkish kid from London’s East End, Izzet learned his trade the hard way; in kids’ leagues, playing against youngsters two or three years older, then as a young pro at Chelsea, kicked all over the Southern Counties League.
When it looked like he couldn’t get a break, he contemplated jacking in the only thing he could do – the only thing he wanted to do – to go roofing with his old man. Enter Martin O’Neill and Leicester City…
Inspired by the Northern Irishman’s unique motivational methods, Muzzy flourished in a side littered with big characters who worked hard and played hard, established names like Steve Walsh and Garry Parker who helped new faces like Neil Lennon, Robbie Savage and Emile Heskey.
This is more than just a football book. It’s about what happened in the changing room, in the bar, being banned from La Manga – not once, but twice – and what happened when O’Neill’s side was dismantled, the club was relegated and, later, fell into administration. Muzzy was there for it all – the good times, the bad, the bits in between.
Then there was Turkey. The dressing room rite of passage that spared no blushes and the secret drama behind the World Cup semi-final…
Funny, unflinching and occasionally heartbreaking, Muzzy: My Story lifts the lid on 1990s football and a Leicester City legend, remembered fondly by all those who saw him.",,0.0,$9.99,304 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/muzzy/id1036189489?mt=11

This has rarely been demonstrated so vividly as by the Manchester City team who briefly, but unforgettably, illuminated the late sixties. And no one was more caught up in their struggles and their triumphs than James Lawton, a young sportswriter starting out on a career that would take him to all the great events of world sport. Yet still, 50 years after Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison began to shape the brilliant team, he counts watching their rise to glory as one of the most exciting times of his professional life.Francis Lee, Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee - these players loomed large over the game as they charged at the peaks of English football, and today evoke a period of the sport's history that seems distant and unknowable, hard to see except through the rose-tinted gloss of nostalgia.Lawton goes back to those heroes, interviewing all the main players and characters who are still alive, and vividly brings to life the story of that City team which with such wonderful panache, and freedom, won the first division title, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the European Cup Winners Cup between 1967 and 1970.This, though, is not just the story of one team, but a broader one of how sport can sometimes so perfectly mirror the exaltation and the despair of the real world, how it carries those who do it, and sometimes even those who merely see it, to moments that will claim a permanent place in their hearts.",,0.0,$22.99,320 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/forever-boys/id1032578454?mt=11

It is written by a range of concerned academics and writers, all of whom have an active relationship with the contemporary football world. The book assesses the changes that have occurred in many areas of football culture and the political and academic debates that have accompanied these changes.English football in particular, it seems, is 'fat city'. The Premiership, now eight years old, has, via satellite television, become a globalised phenomenon: there are Liverpool supporters in Bangladesh, Chelsea fans in sub-Saharan Africa and Manchester United followers across the globe. Grounds are full. Top class football attracts people to bars and pubs in huge numbers. Hooliganism appears a thing of the past. Everyone seems to love football and/or to support a team. The British football media are generally euphoric in their rendering of contemporary football culture.However, the contributors to this book argue that the heavily commodified, PR-driven and cartelised British football world, with which so many contemporary politicians and other public figures rush to identify themselves, has either created, exacerbated or continued to ignore serious problems of social exclusion problems of class and community, race and ethnicity, gender, sexuality and age.",,0.0,$64.99,288 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/british-football-social-exclusion/id464575456?mt=11

DBA Independent Publishers Group",The Autobiography of Goalkeeping Legend John Burridge,"John ""Budgie"" Burridge is a true journeyman pro and a hero to football fans up and down the country. In a unique career spanning 30 years, Budgie played 771 league games for 29 teams, including Crystal Palace and QPR (under Terry Venables at both clubs), Southampton (alongside a young Alan Shearer), Manchester City, Aston Villa (where he would play against Barcelona in the European Super Cup), Wolves, and in Scotland with Hibernian where he was a hero in their League Cup win of 1991. That happy sojourn to Edinburgh would end in acrimony, however, as he ended up in a dressing-room fight with the manager. Highly respected as a goalkeeper, but denounced by many as an ""oddball"" (he admitted that he often slept wearing only his goalkeeper's gloves), Budgie was famous for his madcap antics and his pre-match stretching routines. He would also make a point of going on a lap of honor to salute his club's fans at the end of every game, win lose or draw—a gesture that endeared him to legions of supporters as a man of the people. The Burridge story was far from over when he finally retired in 1997, at the age of 47. He lapsed into depression and spent months in the Priory Clinic as he struggled badly to cope with the void in his life. He became player-manager at non-league Blyth Spartans—only to later be convicted for dealing in counterfeit leisurewear. The prosecution case was significantly strengthened by the fact that there was video evidence of half the team wearing Burridge's sportswear before an FA Cup match. Together with his wife of more than 30 years, Budgie moved to Oman in the Middle East to take up a coaching post with the national team. He sustained serious injuries when he was knocked down by a car in 1999, but is back in good health. He is still employed with the Oman FA, lives there, and acts as a TV pundit and newspaper columnist in Singapore. Burridge is still fascinating and funny to this day, and in this tell-all autobiography he reveals the truth behind his astonishing football career.",,0.0,$13.99,288 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/budgie/id495958800?mt=11

Havia goleado, jogado bem, era favorito absoluto: seria campeão. Então, o que deu errado? O Brasil fez um a zero no segundo tempo, diante de um estádio ensandecido de alegria. O improvável, então, resolveu entrar em campo e o Uruguai fez o que ninguém imaginaria, virar o jogo e vencer a “imbatível” Seleção Brasileira no templo máximo do futebol: o Maracanã. O estádio ficou mudo.
Para tentar entender o contexto daquele 16 de julho de 1950, o jornalista Geneton Moraes Neto fez uma expedição atrás dos protagonistas dessa tragédia esportiva. “Pude ver que, por trás da derrota, escondiam-se dramas humanos: o estigma do naufrágio acompanharia os jogadores pelo resto da vida. Valia a pena ouvir a voz dos renegados”, conta Geneton. E foi por achar “os derrotados, os esquecidos e os dissidentes mais interessantes do que os vitoriosos”, que o autor pesquisou e entrevistou os 11 jogadores da seleção de 50. Em 1987, três décadas depois do fatídico jogo, Barbosa, Augusto, Danilo, Juvenal, Bauer, Bigode, Friaça, Zizinho, Ademir, Jair, Chico e o massagista Mário Américo voltaram ao palco daquela final a convite do jornalista Geneton Moraes Neto. Foi a primeira e última vez que isso aconteceu.
Fim de uma história? Ou o eterno retorno de fantasmas e medos de quem está prestes (em 2014) a sediar a próxima Copa, e que já tem definido o Maracanã como palco da final?",,0.0,$5.99,164 Pages,Portuguese,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/dossie-50/id727670388?mt=11

He relished the big stage and although he unquestionably had the ability to play at any level, he always preferred to stay true to his roots as a local hero in the West of Scotland. Tragically, his life was cut short in 1995 when this larger-thanlife character who had enjoyed an incredible career died suddenly from a brain haemorrhage at the age of just thirty-nine. Now, in Coop, author Neil Drysdale examines the life of this sporting idol and includes exclusive interviews with some of the biggest names in football, including Sir Alex Ferguson, Gordon Smith, Craig Brown, Tom Boyd, Bobby Russell and Andy Roxburgh. But it also gives the fans who applauded his talents at Rangers, Motherwell and Clydebank the chance to pay homage to his myriad gifts and to remember his astonishing talents.

Revised and Updated,"Alex MacDonald’s compelling memoirs cover his formative years as a player with St Johnstone, his rise to fame with Rangers, his transfer to Hearts where he became player-manager, and his time in charge at Airdrie. But Doddie is quintessentially a Rangers man, having grown up in Glasgow supporting them and then going on to play a key role in the club’s 1972 Cup Winners’ Cup triumph. Doddie won 12 medals in a glittering career, including a highly-prized European one during his time with Rangers, yet as he reveals, a chance meeting with Celtic manager Jock Stein might have resulted in him signing for the Old Firm’s other half. Etched indelibly in his memory, too, is the dejection he suffered when Hearts lost the League Championship and Scottish Cup within the space of a week in the mid-1980s and his subsequent delight at leading Airdrie into Europe. Doddie is a fascinating story, both for his lifelong love affair with football and his more personal story of growing up in Glasgow, his love of animals and his midlife crisis when he put the car in the garage and headed out on the highway on a brand new Harley Davidson. It has been a life full of adventures and characters and the highs and lows of his life and career are entertainingly and engagingly told.",,0.0,$1.99,256 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/doddie-my-autobiography.-alex/id689828455?mt=11

These fringe nations include a greater part of Africa, the USA, Australia, Israel, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, Indonesia, Thailand, Maldives and Sri Lanka, and while these countries are rarely noticed by the global football media, they nonetheless have great potential to excel, and many have a rich soccer heritage that still holds a place of central importance in the every day life of the people.This book was previously published as a special issue of Soccer and Society.",,0.0,$54.99,264 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/fringe-nations-in-world-soccer/id708260508?mt=11

616133619,From Goal line to Touch-Line,Jack Crompton,Empire Publications enquiries@empire-uk.com,"Mar 04, 2013",Smashwords,,"Jack Crompton is one of only two surviving members of Manchester United's illustrious 1948 FA Cup winning side and the first to pen his autobiography. Jack served the club as goalkeeper, trainer and caretaker manager for almost 40 years between the 1940s and the 1980s. His career between the sticks brought the first taste of glory to Matt Busby's United, starring in a team that helped transform the club from pre-war also-rans to England's best supported club. As a keeper Jack was an automatic choice until the signing of Reg Allen and the emergence of Ray Wood in the 1950s. With the emergence of the Babes, many of whom Jack captained in the club's reserve team, Jack moved on to coach Luton Town in 1956. But in the wake of the Munich Air Disaster two years later, he returned to the club to assist Jimmy Murphy and, after his recovery, Matt Busby in United's re-building.An integral part of United's coaching set-up throughout the sixties, Jack was a trusted figure for players and management and helped guide the club to honours culminating in long-awaited European success in 1968. As assistant to Wilf McGuinness Jack witnessed first-hand the difficulties the club faced following Busby's retirement and moved on to coach at Preston with Bobby Charlton before managing Fourth Division Barrow. He returned to Old Trafford under Dave Sexton as reserve coach, finishing his lengthy professional association with the club as caretaker manager during a tour of the Far East in 1981 which could have ended in diplomatic disaster without Jack's forward planning and patience.

656106202,Craig Bellamy: GoodFella,Craig Bellamy,Trinity Mirror Digital Media,"Jun 03, 2013",Trinity Mirror Digital Media Ltd,My Autobiography,"CRAIG BELLAMY is one of those footballers you can’t ignore. If he plays for your team, you love him. If he doesn’t . . .
Everyone thinks they know Bellamy. Pace and passion. A handful for defenders. Scoring goals and winding up opponents. Winning friends – and making enemies.
Blessed with a natural talent, he has enjoyed a colourful career at a host of top clubs. The proud Welshman is one of the top ten appearance makers for his country. But his rise to the top of the game wasn’t easy. It could have all been so different.
He came from a loving family but temptations lay in his way. Follow the crowd or follow a dream? Join your mates in a gang on the streets or try to make it as a pro? It was a choice between the two.
Bellamy chose football and became a rebel with a cause. He quickly climbed the ladder and shared dressing rooms with some of the biggest stars in football – from Ryan Giggs to Steven Gerrard. His burning desire to succeed made him a winner on the pitch, but that same passion also got him into trouble. There were famous bust-ups with John Arne Riise and Alan Shearer, not to mention rows with Graeme Souness, Rafa Benitez and Roberto Mancini.
Away from the spotlight, there is a different side to Bellamy. His earnings from this book will be going to the Craig Bellamy Foundation, a charity which offers children in Sierra Leone the chance to fulfill their sporting potential. He is a devoted Dad and was heartbroken at the tragic and shocking death of his close friend Gary Speed.
Craig Bellamy: GoodFella uncovers the real man behind the player and reveals the untold stories of a life inside football’s fast lane.

Molti da allora hanno definito Pep Guardiola l'«Obama catalano»: l'allenatore e il presidente sono entrambi personaggi giovani, eleganti, sportivi e grandi comunicatori, capaci di far uscire una società e un paese da una situazione di crisi, perché degni di fiducia e in grado di trasmettere valori forti e credibili.
Miquel Àngel Violan ha scritto un libro sull'allenatore catalano che non è soltanto imperdibile per gli amanti del calcio, ossia per chi vuole sapere tutto sui metodi di Guardiola e sulla sua grande capacità di gestire successi e sconfitte. È anche un libro di ispirazione per chiunque si trovi a guidare un gruppo di lavoro, una società, una classe di studenti… perché contiene lezioni di leadership e suggerisce tecniche e strategie utili e applicabili in tanti altri ambiti.
Elemento portante del «metodo Guardiola» è il sentire comune. Nessuno come l'allenatore catalano sa promuovere l'intelligenza condivisa, capace di stimolare sinergie e moltiplicare il valore delle capacità individuali. Nessuno è in grado di creare motivazione come lui.

Wie sieht seine Flugbahn aus? Den Ball im Blick rennt der Fußballspieler alle 70 Sekunden eines Matches los, um mit seiner Mannschaft das Runde ins Netz zu jagen und Gebete der Fans zu erfüllen. Fußball ist, wie jedes Kind weiß, von magischem Denken durchdrungen: ""Wenn mein Fuß beim nächsten Schritt auf die Linie zwischen den Steinplatten trifft, dann gewinnt Deutschland..."" Wie aber steht es mit der Wissenschaft, mit Flugbahnen der postaristotelischen Physik oder mit der berechenbaren Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Deutschland und nicht Brasilien oder Spanien Weltmeister wird?
Tore folgen dem ""Gesetz der kleinen Zahlen"", schreibt Raúl Rojas im e-Book ""Aus der Tiefe des Raumes"" und verrät vor der WM in Brasilien, wann die entscheidenden Tore fallen, um wieviel schneller das Spiel geworden ist, wie es wissenschaftlich um den neuen ""Brazuca""-Ball steht, ob Spieltheorien beim Elfmeter helfen, und dass der Soccer-Power-Index (SPI) mehr aussagt als das FIFA-Ranking. Rojas dribbelt und zaubert mit Karl-Heinz Rummenigges Satz ""Fußball ist keine Mathematik"".
Stimmt schon, so Rojas, Professor für Mathematik und Informatik: Fußball hat eine nicht zu vernachlässigende zufällige Komponente, die die besten Versuche, Ordnung im Chaos zu finden, durcheinander bringt. Aber mit Mathematik, Physik und mit Wirtschaftswissenschaften lassen sich Aussagen treffen, die das Ball-Geschehen besser beleuchten, wie das Buch vorführt. Etwa wenn es darum geht, die Weltmeisterschaft am Computer zu simulieren, um herauszufinden, welche Mannschaft die besten Chancen hat, das Turnier zu gewinnen.

He was also capped once by England. The book which is co-authored by Sheffield-based journalist, Nick Johnson, opens with Sterland recounting plans to commit suicide after being forced into premature retirement from playing. Following an indifferent start to his career at Sheffield Wednesday, Sterland made his name as a marauding full-back, playing under high-profile managerial trio Jack Charlton, Howard Wilkinson and Ron Atkinson. He made a big-money move to Glasgow Rangers, where he played under another well-known football personality, Graeme Souness. Despite being at Ibrox for only a brief spell, Sterland is fondly remembered by Rangers fans for scoring the goals which helped the Glasgow giants win the first of a record-equalling nine league titles. Following his transfer to Leeds, where he played alongside the likes of Eric Cantona and Gordon Strachan, Sterland won a First Division championship-winner’s medal, making him one of only a handful of players to win the league title in both England and Scotland.

Regarded as a legend by fans of both Hibernian and Liverpool, Peter’s playing career also included spells with Nottingham Forest and Bristol City before he moved into football management. From the Cowshed to the Kop is a compelling account of a career spanning almost forty years. As soon as he joined Hibernian as a teenager, his quality shone through, and amongst his 99-goal tally was Hibs’ first in a glamour-friendly against a world-class Real Madrid side, which included Hungarian talisman Ferenc Puskás. He also starred in the famous Napoli game where Hibs beat the Italian giants 50 at Easter Road to overturn a seemingly impossible 41 deficit. After a two-year spell in the English First Division with Nottingham Forest, Bill Shankly made his move and signed Cormack for Liverpool for a club record equaling fee of £110,000. He soon established himself as a key part of one of the greatest footballing sides of all time and won two League Championships, an FA Cup medal and two UEFA Cup medals before injury forced him out of the team.

After two years as assistant at Ibrox, the ever-popular 'Totts' took St Johnstone to the hallowed land of the Premier League. Sacked in bizarre circumstances, he immediately bounced back to take control of top-flight Kilmarnock, and even the second managerial 'red card' of his career couldn't stop him guiding his beloved Falkirk to the Scottish Cup Final - against Killie - just months later. At Brockville, Totten met his greatest ever footballing challenge when the Bairns entered provisional liquidation. However, that was nothing compared to the battle of his life - against a medical condition known as the 'silent assassin'.",,0.0,$9.99,251 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/from-the-kop-to-the-kelpies/id978315602?mt=11

There is no place on the pitch for player contact, let alone the sort of hard, robust tackling that could earn a player such a nickname. But 25 years ago, things were different. Only when players really overstepped the mark were their names added to the referee's little black book. And Pat Van Den Hauwe had a reputation as one of the hardest players in the game. In a career encompassing some 401 Football League appearances for Birmingham City, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, and Millwall, he notched up two league titles and a European Cup Winner's Cup medal—but he also made his mark as one of the toughest and most feared defenders in the game. But Pat wasn't just a tough player on the pitch. The way he lived his life meant that he needed to be tough off the pitch as well.

685298173,Are You Watching the Match Tonight?,Brian Barwick,Carlton Books,"Aug 15, 2013",Carlton Books Ltd,The Remarkable Story of Football On Television,"Football and television have been interwined in culture for more than 50 years and Brian Barwick has played a massive role in the continuing inter-reaction between them. Are You Watching the Match Tonight? tells the story of how football on television became a national obsession. The first live football match in England was the 1938 FA Cup final, and the winning goal was a penalty in the last minute of extra time - proof that football can deliver the dramatic like no other sport. Football on television went from grainy film-edits in the 1950s to the first dedicated highlights shows; Match of the Day first aired on 22 August 1964 (ITV's regional shows began in 1965). The FA Cup final, once the only match ever certain to be shown live, became an all-day event with ITV's FA Cup Wrestling Special competing with the BBC's It's An FA Cup Knock-out. The 1966 World Cup brought live international matches into the public's home for the first time and the BBC coverage of the final will forever be remembered by Kenneth Wolstenholme's legendary, ""Some people are on the pitch...they think it's all over...here comes Hurst...it is now!"" Soon commentators, presenters and analysts such as Wolstenholme, Barry Davies, John Motson, Brian Moore, Martin Tyler, Keith Macklin, Gerald Sinstadt, Jimmy Hill, Brian Clough and Terry Venables became national figures and their sucessors, Gary Lineker, Gabby Logan, Jeff Stelling, Adrian Chiles, more so.

La vera storia dei presidenti di Serie A","In tribuna come nei salotti buoni del potere. FUORI GIOCO è il ritratto dell'oligarchia italiana vista attraverso il calcio di serie A e la storia dei suoi presidenti.
Una galleria di dieci personaggi (il nuovo arrivato Thomas Di Benedetto, Claudio Lotito e la Lazio del dopo-Cragnotti, i gemelli diversi Enrico Preziosi e Silvio Berlusconi, gli Agnelli e Diego Della Valle, ovvero la scalata di un parvenu con il mito dell'Avvocato...), quasi una squadra. Senza dimenticare i potenti del tempo che fu, che accompagnano ciascun capitolo, da Ferlaino a Cecchi Gori, da Sensi a Tanzi. E con due storie poco note ma molto significative: il re dei supermercati Maurizio Zamparini alla guida del Palermo e il patron dell'Udinese Giampaolo Pozzo.
I presidenti sgomitano, attaccano, fanno gol o li subiscono (vedi l'abisso finanziario dell'Inter di Moratti, 1351 milioni di euro di perdite in diciassette stagioni, un record assoluto), tra affari, cordate e lobby, patti di sindacato, banche e giornali, operazioni immobiliari e finanziarie, rapporti con la politica, in tribuna e fuori dallo stadio.
La trama del potere vista attraverso il calcio passa dalla prima e la seconda repubblica, da Andreotti a
Berlusconi, da Geronzi a Profumo. In queste dieci storie c'è l'Italia. Ci sono i banchieri e i furbetti del quartierino, la Tangentopoli di ieri e quella di oggi, bancarotta, evasione fiscale e criminalità organizzata. Una trama senza soluzione di continuità, che arriva fino ai giorni nostri, all'ondata d'indignazione che attraversa il paese e aggredisce il Palazzo, la classe politica e quella economica, ma guai a chi tocca il calcio e la squadra del cuore. C'è chi l'ha capito e continua indisturbato a giocare la propria partita.",,0.0,$12.99,287 Pages,Italian,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/fuori-gioco/id507315596?mt=11

He followed Jimmy into the school team, local Barnsley and England schoolboy teams and when the elder Greenhoff finally tasted glory as a professional with Leeds United in the 1968 League Cup Final, Brian was at pitch-side as an enthusiastic ballboy.One of the last youngsters scouted by Matt Busby, Brian joined the newly crowned European champions just weeks after their emotional Wembley triumph that same year. Unfortunately, injuries and the club's subsequent slump meant that his career ground to a standstill, as successive managers battled to keep the most famous name in football in the First Division. It wasn't until the arrival of Tommy Docherty that his career really took off. A promising central midfielder, he dropped back to centre-half in an emergency and never looked back, earning plaudits from the media and selection from successive England managers.Undeterred by relegation from the top flight in his full season, Brian led United to glory from the back as a ball-playing defender. Promotion was followed by cup final devastation in 1976 as United's odds-on favourites crashed to Second Division Southampton before he returned, alongside brother Jimmy to triumph in 1977 beating Liverpool.Yet that proved to be the peak of Brian's football career - within weeks his mentor had been sacked as United boss and the arrival of Dave Sexton led to his eventual departure for Leeds United. With the move down the football ladder, his international career also petered out.After brief trips to play in South Africa and Finland, he joined his brother at lowly Rochdale, Jimmy as manager and Brian as player-coach. Sadly, the job proved momentous for all the wrong reasons as relations between the pair suffered in the aftermath of Jimmy's dismissal. Aside from a brief detente a few years later, the pair haven't spoken for over 20 years. Now Brian has decided to set the record straight: “I’m always asked ‘how’s your brother?' as I’m sure he is. There’s only so long that you can avoid the question and though it has been extremely difficult to put on record - for my family as well as me - I feel that it is the right time to put an end to the questions.""""GREENHOFF!"" is the story about one of United's best loved sons in one of the club’s most infamous eras.",,0.0,$7.99,326 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/greenhoff!/id575952326?mt=11

That day seemed a world away from 1993 when he burst on to the scene as a fresh-faced young star with Manchester United. A dark-haired lad from the streets of Northern Ireland with a God-given talent, he was dubbed the new George Best.
One of the famous Fergie fledglings, he made his debut aged just 17 before moving on to Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle where he came so close to landing a Premiership title winner’s medal. International caps piled up too.
It was a thrilling adventure. Flying down the wing and sharing pitches and dressing rooms with legends, but behind the success and glamour, it was a different story.
Like Best, Gillespie had a talent for self-destruction. He liked a drink and there were women but they weren’t causing a big problem – it was keeping hold of the millions he had earned from the game that ultimately proved his downfall.
It wasn’t just about gambling. A nightmare ordeal during a training break in La Manga landed him in jail for a crime he did not commit. Then, in 2010, Gillespie became headline news again when a series of flawed business deals saw him declared bankrupt.
How Not To Be A Football Millionaire is one of the most honest autobiographies you will read, about a player who lived the football life to the full.
It tells a fascinating and moving human story of the darker side of the glory game.
About winning and losing, fortune and fate, hope and heartache...

999509590,Chelsea's Season 2014/15,Evening Standard Sports Staff,Evening Standard Ltd,"May 28, 2015",Evening Standard Ltd,Mourinho's Return to the Top of the Premier League,"This was the year that Jose Mourinho delivered on his promise to bring the Premier League trophy to Stamford Bridge and did so in emphatic style.
Some had their doubts whether Chelsea were wise to reappoint the Special One back in 2013, but their voices have been well and truly silenced now.
Mourinho guaranteed he would win the title in his second season back in charge of his beloved Chelsea and that's exactly what he did in arguably the most dominating campaign in recent history as they led for a record 268 days.
This ebook documents the story of a quite remarkable triumph where the Blues led, the second weekend aside, from start to finish and their rivals simply had no answer.
Helped by the dazzling skills of Footballer of the Year Eden Hazard, the fight of top scorer Diego Costa, the artistry of midfielder Cesc Fabregas and leadership of captain John Terry, Chelsea literally proved too tough to beat.
In the first half of the season, there was no better team to watch as Mourinho abandoned his more conservative approach to entertain football fans up and down the country.
While things became more attritional after the new year, Mourinho still demonstrated why he is the best manager in the country by finding ways for his team to win games when the team was below their best.
As frustration grew among their beleaguered opponents, accusations over being 'boring' were thrown Chelsea's way.
But it was Mourinho and Chelsea who had the last laugh as the club won their fourth, his third, English championship in 11 years and no-one could argue they didn't deserve it.",,0.0,$2.99,247 Pages,English,Football,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/chelseas-season-2014-15/id999509590?mt=11
796574155,Futebol Nation,David Goldblatt,Nation Books,"May 13, 2014","The Perseus Books Group, LLC",The Story of Brazil through Soccer,"No nation is as closely identified with the game of soccer as Brazil. For over a century, Brazil’s people, politicians, and poets have found in soccer the finest expression of the nation’s collective potential. Since the team’s dazzling performance in 1938 at the World Cup in France, Brazilian soccer has been revered as an otherworldly blend of the effective and the aesthetic. Futebol Nation is an extraordinary chronicle of a nation that has won the World Cup five times and produced players of miraculous skill, such as Pelé, Garrincha, Rivaldo, Zico, Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho. It shows why the phrase O Jogo Bonito—the Beautiful Game—has justly entered the global lexicon. Yet there is another side to Brazil and its game, one that reflects the harsh sociological realities of the “futebol nation.” David Goldblatt explores the grinding poverty that creates a vast pool of hungry players, Brazil’s corrupt institutions exemplified by its soccer authorities, and the pervasive violence that has seeped onto the field and into the stands.Futebol Nation illuminates both Brazilian soccer and Brazil itself; its brilliance, its magic, its style, and the fabulous myths that have been constructed around it; as well as its tragedies, its miseries, and its economic and political injustices.

Known to all as Hotshot, he had been introduced to drugs and violence at an early age, joining a teenage gang at just ten years old. By the age of fifteen he was attending drug-fuelled all-night raves and committing serious crimes to finance his partying.
But not even ecstasy or acid compared to the buzz that he got from fighting. He became addicted to terrace violence and was determined to follow in the footsteps of the older United thugs of the notorious Red Army. Hotshot soon put together a gang of his own, leading them into battles up and down the country and taking them abroad on organised looting and shoplifting sprees.
This was the heyday of hooliganism, and his crew clashed with the likes of West Ham’s Inter City Firm, the Chelsea Headhunters, the ‘Yids’ of Tottenham and the Service Crew from Leeds. They also fought repeatedly with their derby foes from Manchester City, meeting in city centre pubs and nightclubs in a long-running battle for supremacy.
As the years went by, the hectic lifestyle took its toll. Hotshot was arrested in a massive police operation against United’s gang, became addicted to alcohol and cocaine and saw his best friend develop a heroin habit. The days of wanton violence were replaced by a battle for survival. With contributions from fellow United hooligans from the early days up to the current Moston Rats, 'Hotshot' reveals the highs and lows of a rollercoaster race in the fast lane.",,0.0,$6.99,272 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/hotshot/id633488416?mt=11

Kevin’s mum, Anne, was not there to answer his call but she never let her son down.
From that fateful day, April 15, 1989, she embarked on a remarkable 24-year battle to see justice done.
Convinced of a cover-up by the powers that be, she left no stone unturned in her quest to uncover the truth.
It was a campaign that she fought to her dying day, succumbing to cancer at the age of 62 in April, 2013. Anne’s efforts had not been in vain.
Just months earlier, a historic breakthrough saw the original inquest verdicts quashed, following a public apology to the Hillsborough families by Prime Minister David Cameron.
Her daughter Sara, Kevin’s sister, was with Anne every step of the way. Now, with the help of personal recollections penned by her mum in her final months, she tells the real story of Anne’s remarkable journey – her spirit in the face of the many setbacks and her defiant refusal to accept defeat.
Anne’s final message before losing her fight for life was ‘I never walked alone’. This book is dedicated to everyone who has ever fought for justice in the name of the 96.",,0.0,$2.99,320 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/anne-williams/id765553523?mt=11

How about recovering from your goalkeeper being sent off after a couple of minutes to win on opposition turf, a double over your rivals on the way to winning your first title while they get relegated, or even beating them in European competition?
Then again, it's not always been plain sailing. Who can forget the two disallowed goals and a missed penalty in stoppage-time, or the publicly paraded yet ultimately failed signing of the rivals’ star player, and that's without even considering the FA Cup Final between the two sides?
Derby's Days delves deep into the rivalry to see just what makes it tick and why it is so special to everyone involved – from players to managers to supporters.
And as the title suggests it’s a look at all things great and good from a black and white perspective, celebrating the history of this most anticipated of fixtures and looking back in great detail over many of the Rams’ greatest moments against their foes from along Brian Clough Way.
Gareth Davis is a former member of Derby County's media department, initially as website editor and later as programme editor, covering the George Burley to Nigel Clough years and incorporating promotion to the Premier League in 2007.
A lifelong Rams fan, he is an experienced football journalist and writer who has also worked for the Matlock Mercury during his professional career and has contributed to countless other outlets including the Derby Telegraph, the Manchester Evening News and the official website of the Football League.

420264932,Outcasts United,Warren St. John,Random House Publishing Group,"Apr 21, 2009","Random House, LLC","A Refugee Team, an American Town","BONUS: This edition contains a reader's guide. The extraordinary tale of a refugee youth soccer team and the transformation of a small American town Clarkston, Georgia, was a typical Southern town until it was designated a refugee settlement center in the 1990s, becoming the first American home for scores of families in flight from the world’s war zones—from Liberia and Sudan to Iraq and Afghanistan. Suddenly Clarkston’s streets were filled with women wearing the hijab, the smells of cumin and curry, and kids of all colors playing soccer in any open space they could find. The town also became home to Luma Mufleh, an American-educated Jordanian woman who founded a youth soccer team to unify Clarkston’ s refugee children and keep them off the streets. These kids named themselves the Fugees. Set against the backdrop of an American town that without its consent had become a vast social experiment, Outcasts United follows a pivotal season in the life of the Fugees and their charismatic coach. Warren St. John documents the lives of a diverse group of young people as they miraculously coalesce into a band of brothers, while also drawing a fascinating portrait of a fading American town struggling to accommodate its new arrivals. At the center of the story is fiery Coach Luma, who relentlessly drives her players to success on the soccer field while holding together their lives—and the lives of their families—in the face of a series of daunting challenges. This fast-paced chronicle of a single season is a complex and inspiring tale of a small town becoming a global community—and an account of the ingenious and complicated ways we create a home in a changing world.",4.04348,4.0,$13.99,336 Pages,English,Social Science,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/outcasts-united/id420264932?mt=11

545429833,Pray,Nick Hornby,Penguin Publishing Group,"Jul 16, 2012",Penguin Group (USA) Inc.,Notes on a Football Season,"Nick Hornby, author of the bestselling soccer classic Fever Pitch, offers an insightful account of an extraordinary sports season. Concentrating on a number of significant games in British soccer during the 2011–2012 season, Hornby chronicles the emotional, political, and societal highlights and woes that played out on the field. There were alleged racist clashes, revealing the deep cultural fissures still present in British life. There was a fairy-tale return for the legendary Thierry Henry, and the terrifying collapse of Bolton’s Fabrice Muamba, clinically dead for seventy-eight minutes after a heart attack. Throughout, Hornby delves into the impact of the economy on the beloved sport of Britain. As sheikhs and oligarchs buy and sell teams and players at astronomical financial levels, other teams are left behind to struggle with diminished talent. And as income inequality hits all-time highs worldwide, so it does in British soccer.It was a season of tumultuous incident and enormous entertainment, a season more glorious than most. By the end, in May 2012, fans of most clubs had been enthralled, appalled, depressed, elated, shocked, and enraged. Along the way, soccer had somehow managed to encompass politics, high finance, the law, and matters of life and death.

Tragedy unexpectedly strikes when Gracie's older brother, star of the high school varsity team and her closest confidant, is killed in a drunk-driving accident. Wracked with grief over her family's loss, Gracie decides to fill the void left on her brother's team by petitioning the local school board to allow her to play in the boys' soccer league.At first, no one can understand what Gracie is up to, not her mom (Elisabeth Shue), her former soccer star dad (Dermot Mulroney), the team or school officials. Everyone warns Gracie that pursuing her dream is a waste of time—that soccer is a sport for boys and boys only. Undeterred, Gracie finds reserves of strength she never knew existed, and persists in changing everyone's beliefs in what she is capable of, including her own.Based on true events in the lives of the Shue family (producer and co-star Andrew Shue, Academy Award®-nominated actress Elisabeth Shue and their family), Gracie is an exciting and emotional sports story that marks the dramatic feature debut of Academy Award®-winning director Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth). This young adult novel includes an eight-page color photo section and a Q&A with Andrew Shue and Elisabeth Shue about the real-life story behind the film. 8-page color photo insert.",,0.0,$3.99,160 Pages,English,Fiction & Literature,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/gracie/id504396288?mt=11
920821581,Football and Migration,Richard Elliott & John Harris,Taylor and Francis,"Sep 19, 2014",Taylor & Francis Group,"Perspectives, Places, Players","Football is an incredibly powerful case study of globalization and an extremely useful lens through which to study and understand contemporary processes of international migration. This is the first book to focus on the increasingly complex series of migratory processes that contour the contemporary game, drawing on multi-disciplinary approaches from sociology, history, geography and anthropology to explore migration in football in established, emerging and transitional contexts.
The book examines shifting migration patterns over time and across space, and analyses the sociological dynamics that drive and influence those patterns. It presents in-depth case studies of migration in elite men’s football, exploring the role of established leagues in Europe and South America as well as important emerging leagues on football's frontier in North America and Asia. The final section of the book analyses the movement of groups who have rarely been the focus of migration research before, including female professional players, elite youth players, amateur players and players’ families, drawing on important new research in Ghana, England, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Few other sports have such a global reach and therefore few other sports are such an important location for cross-cultural research and insight across the social sciences. This book is engaging reading for any student or scholar with an interest in sport, sociology, human geography, migration, international labour flows, globalization, development or post-colonial studies.",,0.0,$54.99,238 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/football-and-migration/id920821581?mt=11

501048904,Blackpool's 1953 FA Cup,Roy Calley,JMD Media,"Feb 07, 2012",JMD Media,Tangerine Wizards,"It has been said that the 1953 FA Cup Final between Blackpool and Bolton Wanderers has become one of the most mythologized in British sporting history. Forever remembered as the ‘Matthews Final’, despite the hat-trick from team mate Stan Mortensen, it is now elevated to a status in history that became more than just a football game. It defined an era. The newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II was present at the game, and television beamed the excitement into thousands of homes for the first time. The story of the game itself is remarkable, yet Blackpool’s route to the Twin Towers was tortuous in itself with doubts and fears littering the pathway to eventual glory. At the time the seaside town played host to one of the most attractive and magnetic of football teams with the famous names of Stanley Matthews, Stan Mortensen, Harry Johnston, Ernie Taylor and the rest expertly marshalled by the astute management of Joe Smith. Their style of football, alongside their bright tangerine shirts, lit up grounds up and down the country and it is fair to say that Blackpool Football Club held a special place in many fans’ hearts. The 1953 FA Cup Final triumph made legends of the players and the team. All 11 men that day, coupled with the genius of manager Joe Smith, can rightly be described as ‘Tangerine Wizards’.
The Author

Although living on the South Coast and working in a career that often involves weekends, he still travels to as many games as possible to watch the ‘Mighty Pool’. Hehas followed Blackpool, his local football club, since 1967.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s Roy had his first experience of writing about the club when he created the fanzine 'View From The Tower’.

The Games we Love to Hate…
The local derby isn't just about football, it's about pride, and being able to hold your head up when you go to work on Monday morning, and knowing your lads are better than the other lot. Sadly, the opposite can also be true. The scum up the road can ruin your entire season in ninety gut-wrenching minutes. However, what happens on the pitch is only half the story…
From Britain's most authoritative writers on football hooliganism comes a fascinating examination of the passions and emotions that are an integral part of the local derby. Derby Days takes a frank but often humorous look at why these games are so important to supporters and examines the lengths to which many will go to put one over their local rivals.",,0.0,$3.99,157 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/derby-days/id498509963?mt=11
489449386,Expat Evertonian The diary of a football fan working abroad,Cliff Green,JMD Media,"Dec 14, 2011",JMD Media,Part 2: A Clearer Picture,"On Friday, 1 September 1989 Cliff Green boarded a plane from Heathrow to Nairobi to begin what he imagined to be a two year interlude to his teaching career in the UK. He was 27 and had never lived overseas before. In all respects he was very much a 'homeboy' being immensely attached to the British culture notably pop music, English pubs, Coronation Street and, most significantly, Everton Football Club. In all respects he was the last person on earth that anyone would have expected to live away from the shores of the UK. He even surprised himself with the decision. On 15 March 2011 he returned to England after more than two decades of teaching overseas in a journey that included Kenya, Bermuda and Uganda and a career path that led to his appointment in 2009 as Principal of one of the largest international schools in East Africa. There was also a personal journey of discovery and adventure loaded with humour and surprise and, while the pull of British culture diminished, the passion for Everton just grew and grew, no matter how difficult it may have been to 'get the result'.
Cliff Green was born in Andover, Hampshire on 27 September 1961. He developed a love for football from an early age and became besotted by Everton during the 1970 championship run-in idolising the Holy Trinity of Kendall, Harvey, Ball as well as his favourite centre-forward of all time, Joe Royle. Through the dire eighties of turgid football and an empty trophy cabinet, he clung onto the belief that Everton would once again become great. Determined to be a part of the revival, he left home to study for a degree in mathematical statistics at The University of Liverpool in 1980. After graduating in 1983, he worked as a trainee chartered accountant in Dale Street, Liverpool while watching Everton every week, including their most successful season in their history, and going to Rotterdam to see his team lift their only European trophy in 1985. The following year he left accountancy and studied for a PGCE at Bolton Institute of Higher Education while watching most of Everton's matches during their final championship winning season. After two years teaching at Shrewsbury Sixth Form College, he left England for a teaching career described in this book. On 21st December, 1996 he married a Ugandan lady called Violet. They have three children, Christopher, Vincent and Clair. ",,0.0,$6.99,50 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/expat-evertonian-diary-football/id489449386?mt=11

Bidini begins to understand what this tournament means to all those involved. He sees firsthand the power of sport to transform the lives of those on the edge—how the decision to play this game can mean the difference between survival and heading down a road of addiction, poverty, or crime. Home and Away offers a powerful look at the poor and dispossessed, from the barrios of Mexico City and the shanties of West Africa to the streets of North America and Europe, illuminating the renewed meaning that these players find in such an inspiring game.",,0.0,$15.99,192 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/home-and-away/id737595788?mt=11

Through the dire eighties of turgid football and an empty trophy cabinet, he clung onto the belief that Everton would once again become great. Determined to be a part of the revival, he left home to study for a degree in mathematical statistics at The University of Liverpool in 1980. After graduating in 1983, he worked as a trainee chartered accountant in Dale Street, Liverpool while watching Everton every week, including their most successful season in their history, and going to Rotterdam to see his team lift their only European trophy in 1985. The following year he left accountancy and studied for a PGCE at Bolton Institute of Higher Education while watching most of Everton's matches during their final championship winning season. After two years teaching at Shrewsbury Sixth Form College, he left England for a teaching career described in this book. On 21st December, 1996 he married a Ugandan lady called Violet. They have three children, Christopher, Vincent and Clair. ",,0.0,$6.99,50 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/expat-evertonian-diary-football/id489448329?mt=11

Bajo la mirada de ese juego sencillo a la par que magnético, está el registro vivo de momentos apasionantes, trágicos, sublimes y dramáticos. Como un fiel retrato de los pueblos que lo han adoptado, el fútbol ha sido testigo tanto de barbaridades sociales cuanto de episodios de éxtasis colectivo, ha sufrido y ha provocado injusticias, repartido placer y fascinación con la misma desenvoltura con la que se ha generado grandes traumas y pequeñas lacras, pero, eso sí, ha estado siempre presente.
No es en balde que esa forma original y hábil de competir en grupo realzando las individualidades, es la única actividad humana de la que se tiene conocimiento, seguida por la nada insignificante cantidad de cuatro mil millones de personas, todos los fines de semana, a todas horas y en cualquier lugar. No existen fronteras geográficas, ni barreras sociales que limiten el gusto por ese juego. El fútbol como espectáculo, podrá ser caro e inaccesible; como negocio, podrá tener entrañas oscuras y a veces inescrutables, como tantas otras actividades de la selva contemporánea; seguramente, no siempre, el sentido común y la honradez pautarán sus mecanismos de control. Con todo ello, es la gran dehesa contemporánea, en la que todavía es posible decidir libremente complacerse o no, que en raras ocasiones excluirá aquellos que decidan incorporarse a el para practicar, admirar o sufrir. Sí, porque el fútbol es, ante
todo, tierra de incertidumbres y de padecimientos – que siempre ofrece su cara más atractiva, renovadora, revitalizadora. Y por la que siempre se tendrá que estar dispuesto a padecer.
En 150 años, el deporte que nace en el corazón de la Inglaterra de la Revolución Industrial pasó por innumerables periodos de transformación y de adecuación a las diversas culturas. Se fue moldeando a la diversidad de idiosincrasias de las sociedades a las que se fue incorporando, agregó costumbres locales respondiendo a un prolongado y largo proceso de maduración y, cuando parecía consolidado, acabó sometido a las leyes del mercado y sumergió en una nueva aventura revolucionaria, pautada por la tecnología, por la velocidad de transmisión de la información y por la globalización. No obstante, nunca perdió su esencia humanista porque, en este juego, por la lúcida percepción y la sabiduría del escritor uruguayo Eduardo Galeano, “donde menos se espera salta lo imposible, el enano propina una lección al gigante y un negro esmirriado y chueco deja bobo al atleta esculpido en Grecia”.",,0.0,Free,346 Pages,Spanish,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/futbol-150-anos/id747952662?mt=11

In recent years, however, the very term ‘community’ has become the focus of renewed interest within popular discourse and amongst academics, politicians and policy makers. It has become something of a ‘buzz’ word, wheeled out as both a lament to more certain times and as an appeal to a better future: a term imbued with all the richness associated with human interaction.
‘Community’ has also been employed increasingly within football, for instrumental reasons concerned with policy and stadium redevelopment, and in broader rhetoric about clubs, their localities and fans. This book brings together a range of key debates around contemporary understandings of ‘community’ in world football. Split into four sections, it considers
political and theoretical debates around football and its connection with community;
different national and ethnic football communities;
instrumental uses of football to bridge gaps within and between groups;
future directions in the football and community debate.

The pair made an instant impression.Ossie claimed the limelight with his wonderful control and endearing accent, but when Ricky dribbled his way round half the Manchester City team to score the greatest ever Wembley goal in 1981 he swerved his way into the hearts of the nation and a permanent place in English football folklore.For so long uncomfortable speaking in English, in And Still Ricky Villa – through the translation of Federico Ardiles (Ossie’s son) – for the first time Ricky is able to tell his story. From his childhood growing up on a farm in rural Argentina, when he would ride to school on horseback, to becoming Argentina’s first million dollar player, starring for his country alongside a promising teenager called Diego Maradona and winning the World Cup on home soil as part of Argentina’s 1978 squad.He talks in depth about arriving in London with Ossie and – despite the tickertape reception – his frustration at being unable to communicate properly and his subsequent despair. He tells of how he grew to love Spurs and English football (and the English countryside), reveals the elation of scoring that wonder goal at Wembley and how he was torn between two countries at war during the Falklands conflict. Packed with great stories,And Still Ricky Villa is a vibrant account of the life of one of English football’s most-loved characters and a fascinating insight into what it was like to be a foreign player in the first division in the 1970s and 80s.",,0.0,$5.99,288 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/and-still-ricky-villa/id448304992?mt=11

Ma lui, per tutti il Trap, Giuanin per il suo maestro Nereo Rocco, non è tipo da grancassa e alle parole ha sempre preferito la concretezza del fare. Fin da quando, ragazzino, per non dare un dispiacere al padre che vedeva il calcio con il fumo negli occhi (“Sudi e ti prendi la tubercolosi!”), finiti gli allenamenti con il Milan andava a lavorare in cartotecnica. Dopo sedici anni da giocatore in rossonero conditi con due Scudetti, due Coppe Campioni e una Intercontinentale, da allenatore ha reso grande la Juventus in un decennio d’oro, ha guidato l’Inter allo Scudetto dei record, ha vinto il titolo tedesco con il Bayern Monaco in tempi in cui andare ad allenare all’estero era cosa da pionieri, ripetendosi poi anche in Portogallo e in Austria. Ed è facile immaginare che avrebbe vinto qualcosa anche in Nazionale, se non fosse stato defraudato di un Mondiale (complice l’indimenticabile arbitro Moreno) e di un Europeo (con l’indigesto biscotto di Svezia- Danimarca). Ma soprattutto, il Trap si è fatto amare ovunque per il suo entusiasmo e la dialettica inimitabile, sempre accompagnato da questa frase-mantra, “Non dire gatto (se non ce l’hai nel sacco)”: un inno spiccio alla prudenza, un amuleto, un modo semplice e immediato per ricordare con orgoglio le proprie origini popolari. Nella sua autobiografia, scritta con il grande amico Bruno Longhi e impreziosita da due inserti ricchi di foto inedite e memorabilia, Giovanni Trapattoni ripercorre quasi sessant’anni di calcio e di storia italiana, ci svela tanti retroscena – il 17 come numero fortunato, il rito dell’acqua santa, i colloqui più divertenti con campioni del calibro di Platini, Matthäus, fino all’esplosivo Edmundo –, ci racconta come la passione di una vita possa essere vissuta con innata leggerezza, eleganza e straordinaria autoironia.",,0.0,$14.99,300 Pages,Italian,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/non-dire-gatto/id1027389778?mt=11

Como diz João Máximo, na apresentação do livro:
""(...) Em duas palavras, é obra definitiva: depois dela nada mais poderá ser acrescentado à crônica de 16 de julho de 1950, como nada se pôde acrescentar à tragédia dos Cluter depois de A Sangue Frio.
Anatomia de uma derrota foi considerado um dos melhores livros do ano em 1985, quando foi lançado. Assim a imprensa se manifestou quando do lançamento deste livro:
""Um dos dez melhores livros do ano! A tragédia da derrota do Brasil na Copa de 50, em pleno Maracanã, é reconstituída em detalhes e explicada num estudo emocionante e bem fundamentado. Um livro admirável!"" (Revista Veja)
""Um extraordinário talento para investigar tragédias ilumina essa bela leitura de cabeceira. Uma reconstituição poucas vezes conseguida na crônica esportiva."" (Revista IstoÉ)
""Nada falta neste livro sobre a perda do Campeonato Mundial pelo Brasil em 1950, incluindo a reprodução de toda a transmissão radiofônica da grande final Brasil x Uruguai. Uma monografia exaustiva, obsessiva, na ânsia de se completar."" (O Globo)
""A seriedade da pesquisa resultou num livro escrito com sensibilidade e competência. Nele está não só o drama, mas o seu cenário social, político, psicológico. Um documento precioso!"" (O Estado de São Paulo)

Fútbol! explains why competitors and fans alike are so fiercely dedicated to soccer throughout the region.From its origins in British boarding schools in the late 1800s, soccer spread across the globe to become a part of everyday life in Latin America—and part of the region’s most compelling national narratives. This book illustrates that soccer has the powerful ability to forge national unity by appealing to people across traditional social boundaries. In fact, author Joshua Nadel reveals that what started as a simple game played a seriously important role in the development of Latin American countries in the twentieth century. Examining the impact of the sport in Argentina, Honduras, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, and Mexico, Nadel addresses how soccer affects politics, the media, race relations, and gender stereotypes.With inspiring personal stories and a sweeping historical backdrop, Fútbol! shows that soccer continues to be tied to regional identity throughout Central and South America today. People live for it—and sometimes kill for it. It is a source of hope and a reason for suicide. It is a way out of poverty for a select few and an intangible escape for millions more.",,0.0,$12.99,292 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/futbol!/id844451546?mt=11

And what an extraordinary life it was. Jock Wallace was undoubtedly one of the finest managers ever to work at Ibrox. He was one of the last of the old-style Scottish managers but also became a very modern manager as he built his own teams and steered them to tremendous success. He played his part in the 1972 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup victory, managed the team that ended Celtic’s bid for ten-in-a-row and went on to glory with two domestic Trebles in three years. Big Jock also charts his tense relationship with that other Rangers legend, Willie Waddell, and how their arguments led to Wallace walking out on his beloved Rangers at the moment of his greatest triumph. It also shows how Wallace was far more than just a strict disciplinarian and was, in fact, tactically astute and ahead of his time.",,0.0,$4.99,256 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/big-jock/id896691402?mt=11

1005584209,Che viaggio la Juve,Giuseppe Andriani,Giuseppe Andriani,"Jun 11, 2015",Simplicissimus Book Farm S.r.l.,,"Da Rimini a Berlino in linea d'aria ci sono 943 chilometri. Il viaggio più bello della Juventus però è stato più lungo, più faticoso di quanto quei chilometri vogliano farci credere. Sono serviti 9 anni, quasi. Ero un bambino nel 2006, più o meno. Ero un liceale. E quando un ex compagno di classe mi ricorda che tra quei banchi si parlava della Juventus in B mentre oggi su whatsapp commentiamo una semifinale contro il Real Madrid ho i brividi. E se non ero un bambino nel 2006, a Rimini, lo ero nel 2003, a Manchester. E lo ero ancor di più nel '97. E qualcuno di voi sarà stato bambino ad Atene nel 1983. O qualcun altro quando la Juventus in Europa non vinceva mai. Che ci son voluti anni per arrivare alla prima Coppa Uefa, e ancor di più alla prima Champions. A Bruxelles, all'Heysel. Quando anche chi era bambino ha visto la nuda e cruda violenza di un mondo che non sempre dimostra di meritare un gioco così bello come il calcio. Scegliete voi dove inizia il vostro viaggio, godetevelo. Questa non è solo una storia d'amore, questo è il viaggio di un bambino, tifoso della Juventus. Dovunque sia partito. Io credo di esser partito da Rimini. O forse ero partito da Manchester, e non me n'ero nemmeno accorto. Dovunque siate partiti siamo arrivati tutti insieme a Berlino. E diciamoci la verità, non ci credevamo nemmeno noi. A Manchester ero un bambino. Ma non guardai il rigore di Sheva che batteva Buffon. A quell'età si pensa che se vuoi vincere, vinci. E non si accetta la sconfitta in una finale di Champions League contro la squadra rivale. Non ricordo tantissimo, e a distanza di anni non ho avuto il coraggio e il fegato di rivederla. Ricordo il palo di Conte, un gol annullato al Milan con grande paura. Un divano e tante emozioni. Ricordo che mi fu spiegato che se Nedved avesse giocato avremmo vinto noi, sicuro. Eppure questa teoria non l'ho mai capita. Ma ci piace crederlo, serve forse a zuccherare un po' il dolore di quella notte. Le telecamere andarono su Sheva che esultava con Dida. Poi Buffon che si inginocchia vicino al palo e piange con le mani sul volto. Non credo che questo viaggio sia iniziato lì, ma quella notte ho capito che “non è solo un gioco”. E questo è il viaggio di un bambino che piangeva con Buffon quel 28 Maggio, e che ha pregato con Buffon per la finale di Berlino. Ma Gigi nella capitale tedesca c'era già stato. Era l'Estate del 2006. Il mondiale, la vittoria, la coppa del mondo. Un paese in festa. E un'immagine in testa, nella mia: Guido Rossi alla premiazione che esulta felice.

Derby County’s supporters voted themselves Player of the Year in 2008, following on from Steve Howard, hero of the fans in 2007 as the Rams marched back into the Premier League. The parallels are intriguing. Back in ’69 an outspoken genius of a manager, Brian Clough, dragged Derby County out of the doldrums to win promotion to the top flight of English football for the first time in 16 years. In 2007 another firebrand boss, Billy Davies, achieved a similar miracle with a club that had flirted with relegation the previous season. This book features every single Player of the Year since 1969, giving an insight into the managers and personalities that have made Derby County irresistible through years that have included two Championship wins, famous European adventures… and a few disasters along the way too. From McFarland, O’Hare, Mackay, Todd and Hector, through Buckley, Gemmill, Davison, Saunders and McMinn, to Gabbiadini, Yates, Poom, Idiakez and Howard…they are all here, the Rams stars voted as the best by fans throughout almost 40 years of football at the Baseball Ground and Pride Park.

Fausto Bagattini, in questa seconda puntata della sua indagine sul ruolo più poetico fra tutti quelli che rendono poetico il gioco del calcio, ci racconta storie di campo e aneddoti di vita al limite dell’incredibile.

Starting in the top division under the financial control of Robert Maxwell, the team had an international backbone of Shilton, Wright and Saunders, but as the tycoon’s business empire began to struggle, funds to the football club dried up. They were soon relegated, and after Lionel Pickering took control many millions of pounds were poured into the club for Arthur Cox and Roy McFarland to purchase new players – Craig Short, Tommy Johnson, Paul Kitson, Marco Gabbiadini and Paul Simpson. The team reached one Play-off semi final and a Play-off Final in 1994, both ending in defeat and another Wembley appearance in the Anglo-Italian Cup, again losing out to the Italian side Cremonese.
Jim Smith was appointed by Mr Pickering in 1996 and a new team was formed, and with new first-team coach Steve McClaren directing play they won promotion to the Premier League in their first season in charge. They were helped by the signing of the Croatian international captain Igor Stimac, and that saw just one defeat in 21 games after his arrival.
Off the field, the Baseball Ground was no longer suitable for top-flight football, and the decision had been made to move to a purpose-built stadium on the Pride Park area of Derby, opened by the Queen in July 1997. Premier League money and the new stadium saw an influx of exciting foreign players and flowing football before the turn of the millennium.
Memorable Matches of the 1990s features 30 of these games from the decade, including the great games (Aston Villa in the FA Cup, Leeds United and Manchester United in the Premier League and the unforgettable 6–4 defeat by Chelsea and the 4–4 draw at Bradford City on Good Friday), the promotion game against Crystal Palace, the two Wembley appearances, the last match at the Baseball Ground and the not-so-great 7–1 defeat at home by Liverpool and relegation from Division One.",,0.0,$12.99,192 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/derby-county/id474441242?mt=11

Unfortunately, so has the number of sports injuries. Why? More games, more competitions, and early specialization have all contributed, but so have our methods of training them. High pressure to perform along with an increased volume and intensity of training has combined to hamper young soccer athletes. They favor one side, overuse one muscle group, and do it over and over again. This is a recipe for injury. In Fit 2 Finish, Dr. LeBolt takes a sport scientist's eye to the training of our soccer-loving kids. She distills the gems of two decades of coaching and injury prevention training to display the methods that have worked to make her athletes safer, healthier and more effective, all while never losing the fun. Coaches at all levels can apply the Fit2Finish principles to every facet of their coaching: warm up, skills and drills, game play, post game routines, recovery, rest and preparing for the next game. Fit 2 Finish is the training manual and the game plan for the coach who's first objective is to keep kids healthy and in the game. Yes, we must address the 'too much, too early' in today's youth sports, but while we go about changing the culture, the kids who are currently in it need saving.

Que Marcos passou a Copa de 2002 sonhando que levaria um frango igual ao da final do Mundial Interclubes de 1999? Que Félix jogou a Copa de 1970 com as mãos livres e resolveu usar as luvas justamente na decisão contra a Itália? Que Barbosa, mesmo considerado culpado pela derrota de 1950, seguiu sendo convocado pela Seleção e só não foi à Copa de 1954 porque quebrou a perna? Que o goleiro holandês Jan Jongbloed viveu um drama muito pior do que perder duas finais seguidas de Copa do Mundo (1974 e 1978): viu o filho, também goleiro, morrer em campo atingido por um raio? E que Yashin, o Aranha Negra, já vestiu a camisa do Flamengo? Essas e outras histórias curiosas estão reunidas no livro ""Goleiros - Heróis e Anti-Heróis da Camisa 1"", do jornalista Paulo Guilherme. A obra é recheada de histórias curiosas e emocionantes de goleiros consagrados, como o bicampeão mundial Gilmar dos Santos Neves, outros não tão consagrados assim, como Borrachinha, do Botafogo-RJ, que para honrar o nome do pai parou a máquina do Flamengo de Zico & Cia. Revela ainda as personalidades que na juventude foram goleiros, como Che Guevara, Julio Iglesias e o Papa João Paulo II. O livro conta toda a história dessa que é a posição mais polêmica do futebol, desde a criação do esporte, o início do jogo de bola no Brasil ? quando os aristocratas desfilavam sua elegância em campo e a torcida tentava subornar o goleiro adversário com propostas tentadoras das donzelas ? até os dias de hoje, mostrando que a evolução do futebol, as mudanças na regra, nos uniformes, na bola, se deve, em grande parte, à evolução dos goleiros. Enquanto todos reconhecem que o Brasil tem os melhores atacantes do mundo, por aqui o talento dos goleiros brasileiros está sempre sendo questionado.

Durch die im Fußball geltende Tatsachenentscheidung und der damit verbundenen Unanfechtbarkeit trägt der Unparteiische eine große Verantwortung und Macht. Spieler unterliegen gewissen Leistungsschwankungen. Ebenso sind Schiedsrichter von der Beeinflussung durch innere und äußere Faktoren nicht ausgenommen - unabhängig davon, ob es sich um Kreisliga- oder Bundesliga-Referees handelt. Diese vielfältigen Effekte auf den Unparteiischen sind Inhalt des vorliegenden Buches.
Die methodische Grundlage der Untersuchung bildeten qualitative Interviews mit Schiedsrichtern. Unparteiische aller Klassen kamen zu Wort, so waren auch Bundesliga-Referees unter den Befragten. Bei der Auswertung der Interviews wurde deutlich, dass eine Vielzahl von Einflussfaktoren auf den Schiedsrichter selbst und auf seine Entscheidungen einwirkt. Neben den Rahmenbedingungen wie Wetter, die Stimmungslage, frühere Erfahrungen mit den betreuten Vereinen sowie Sympathie oder Antipathie für bestimmte Spieler finden auch Manipulation durch Akteure und Funktionäre sowie die Beeinflussung durch Fans Beachtung.
Schiedsrichter stehen also im ständigen Dilemma, trotz ihres Strebens nach einer neutralen Spielleitung doch unter permanenter Beeinflussung zu entscheiden. Von ihnen wird erwartet, unabhängige und objektiv richtige Entscheidungen zu treffen.

Mesmo antes de se tornar um evento que movimenta bilhões de pessoas e cifras extraordinárias, o torneio de futebol entre nações realizado a cada quatro anos foi pontuado por inúmeras idas e vidas no ambiente político internacional, dúvidas e tragédias, crescimento e evolução técnica, mobilização social e utilização pelos poderes constituídos.
A pedra fundamental de um Mundial de Futebol realizado como evento independente, à parte da Olimpíada, foi esboçada já na fundação da FIFA, em 1904, mas lançada efetivamente após a Primeira Grande Guerra, sendo que a definição do primeiro país-sede (Uruguai) ocorreria em 1929, no Congresso da Fifa realizado em Barcelona, ainda em um ambiente de intensa agitação geopolítica. Ali foi definido que o Mundial seria disputado a cada quatro anos, alternando com diferença de dois anos com os Jogos Olímpicos. Teria sedes a princípio com alternância de continentes – entre Europa e América do Sul – e seria aberto a todas as nações filiadas em um processo de competição eliminatória, cujos vencedores fariam a fase final.
No Brasil de 2014, a Copa do Mundo chega a sua 20ª edição com números estratosféricos de popularidade e de mercado.

Dabei sieht er die Bearbeitung des Themas als eine besondere Herausforderung an, weil es dazu in der speziellen Fußballliteratur kaum Lesenswertes und Informatives zu finden gibt. inwieweit erzieherische Aspekte des Sports einer gesellschaftlichen Abhängigkeit und einem damit verbundenen Wandel unterliegen, werden exemplarisch ausgewählte Vertreter ihrer Zeit und auch politische Systeme vorgestellt.

Even before becoming a multibillion dollar event that involves billions of people as well, this international football championship, which takes place every four years, has been marked by countless ups and downs in the international political scenario, doubts and tragedies, growth and technical evolution, social mobilization and use of vested powers.
The landmark of a World football championship as an independent event, aside from the Olympic Games, was firstly thought of at FIFA’s very foundation, in 1904, but effectively launched after the First World War, being the first Host country (Uruguay) defined in 1929, during FIFA’s congress, which was held in Barcelona, being the atmosphere of yet intense geopolitical unrest. At that meeting, it was decided that the championship should be held every four years, alternating with the Olympic Games, although with a two year difference between the two events. Initially the hosting locations would be alternated among the participating continents – Europe and South America – in which all the affiliated nations could take part, in a process of eliminatory competitions, being the final phase played by the winners of the eliminatory phase.
In 2014’s Brazil, the World Cup has come to its twentieth edition, having its popularity and market rates reached stratospheric heights.

Arrivò a interrompere il dominio delle squadre del Nord che avevano vinto tutti i campionati di calcio tra il 1946 e il 1955. La Fiorentina era qualcosa di veramente nuovo, sia nell’organizzazione che nel gioco: l’avevano umilmente costruita il presidente Enrico Befani, il direttore sportivo Luciano Giachetti e l’allenatore Luigi Ferrero. In seguito arrivò il tecnico emergente Fulvio Bernardini a costruire lo squadrone, convincendo la società a prendere due grandi attaccanti: il brasiliano Julinho e l’italo-argentino Montuori.
Che c’era qualcosa di nuovo nell’aria, fu subito evidente nella partita contro la Dinamo Mosca del mitico Lev Jascin. A quella vittoria in amichevole seguirono, una dopo l’altra, quelle in campionato: Milan, Juventus, Inter furono annichilite dalla superiorità dei viola. Lo scudetto, infatti, arrivò il 6 maggio 1956 a Trieste, a sei giornate dalla fine.
L’ebook di Raffaello Paloscia, grande voce del giornalismo sportivo, è un diario che ripercorre giorno per giorno le imprese della “squadra dei miracoli”, dalla vittoria sulla Dinamo alla ingiusta sconfitta nella finale di Coppa dei Campioni con il Real Madrid.

The 1970s—the last decade when every fan of every soccer club could wish for the stars
For supporters of provincial lightweights like Derby County, Nottingham Forest, and Leeds United, their wishes came true in the seventies when they landed the Division One title. It was the decade of the underdog—when the FA Cup was still soccer's Holy Grail and teams like Sunderland, Ipswich, and Southampton came in from the sticks to produce their own brand of Wembley magic. It was the decade when every team had its characters: Stan Bowles, Charlie George, Duncan McKenzie, Frank Worthington, Tony Currie, Rodney Marsh. These personalities are gone now, replaced by an influx of anonymous foreign journeymen. This book harks back to a lost era when the game still belonged to the fans; they could identify with the players, recognize their heroes, and believe they all had a shot at glory. It remembers dramatic matches packed with action and controversy; recalls mercurial managers like Shankly, Clough, Revie, and the Doc—and asks the question: who was the finest player from soccer's last great decade?",,0.0,$7.99,288 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/best-pele-half-time-bovril/id917359172?mt=11

The competition is fierce as Old Trafford has played host to so many legendary talents, from the Busby Babes in 1950s to the 1968 European Cup winners and the Treble winners of 1999.
Who plays in the heart of the defence, Jaap Stam, Steve Bruce, Nemanja Vidic or Rio Ferdinand? And how can you ever possibly separate Paul Scholes, Bryan Robson and Roy Keane?
It gets even harder when having to choose between Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and George Best.
Up front there are only two places, so who from Wayne Rooneyhange, Denis Law, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Eric Cantona will make it on to the team sheet?
Experienced football writer Sam Pilger selects his side from this vast array of talent and aims to finally settle the debate of who should be included in United’s greatest ever XI. A lifelong United fan, and the author of several books on United’s history, Sam Pilger has interviewed and got to know nine of the eleven players in his side, and so provides his own unique and personal insights in to what makes each of them great.

He reveals the inside track on the reigns of managers Joe Royle, Kevin Keegan and Stuart Pearce, as well as the power struggles in the boardroom in the years preceding the takeover by City’s current regime.As well as Dennis’s reflections on his football journey, and his forceful views on Manchester City and the game itself, the book is also packed with great stories – from the Sunderland training session which involved the defenders heading golf balls, to a tour to the Far East with City when Asa Hartford offered to help stretcher him off then promptly dropped him. At the New York Cosmos – who had signed him to replace none other than Pelé during the razzmatazz heyday of the North American Soccer League, and for whom he starred alongside Franz Beckenbauer and Carlos Alberto – he rubbed shoulders with icons of showbiz and sport like Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall, Rod Stewart and Bjorn Borg.Offering an intelligent insight into the world of football from the perspective of both a player and a club director, Dennis Tueart: My Football Journey is a powerful and entertaining story of the Sunderland cup final hero, Manchester City legend and one of the game’s most opinionated and enduring personalities.All Dennis’s royalties from the sale of this book will go to the teenage and young adult cancer unit at The Christie cancer centre in Manchester.",,0.0,$5.99,304 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/dennis-tueart/id491059901?mt=11

La piedra fundamental del Campeonato Mundial de Futbol realizado como evento independiente, fuera de los Juegos Olímpicos, se planteó ya en el momento de la fundación de la FIFA, en 1904, pero sólo se hizo efectiva después de la Primera Guerra Mundial, siendo que el primer país sede (Uruguay) se había definido en 1929, durante el Congreso de la entidad, realizado en Barcelona, aún en un ambiente de intensa inestabilidad geopolítica. Se definió además que se disputaría el Mundial a cada cuatro años, de forma alternada con los Juegos Olímpicos, con una diferencia de dos años entre sendos eventos. Para la organización serian designados países de Europa y Sudamérica, en un principio de forma alternada entre ambos continentes, y la participación estaría abierta a todas las naciones afiliadas, a través de un sistema de competición eliminatoria, cuyos vencedores compondrían la fase final.

Eine Betrachtung der Entwicklung des Fußballs von 1954 bis 1970",Holger Skorupa,GRIN Verlag,"Feb 26, 2008",ciando GmbH,,"Der Fußball nahm zwischen 1954 und 1970 eine rasante Entwicklung. In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wurde 1963 der erste Spieltag der Bundesliga ausgetragen , die brasilianische Nationalmannschaft gewann bis 1970 dreimal die Weltmeisterschaft und durfte somit als erste Fußballnation überhaupt den Coupe Jules Rimet auf ewig behalten. Italienische Vereine errangen zahlreiche Triumphe in den europäischen Vereinswettbewerben und in England begeisterte die Generation Golden Sixties die Zuschauer in den Stadien. Doch welche Ursachen hatte etwa die dominante Stellung der brasilianischen Mannschaft bei den Weltmeisterschaften Warum war das Mutterland des Fußballs im gleichen Zeitraum während der Turniere um den Coupe Jules Rimet erfolglos Inwiefern war es gerechtfertigt, die erfolgreiche, wenngleich unansehnliche Spielanlage in Italien als Anti-Fußball zu bezeichnen Die Erörterung jener Fragen liegt der vorliegenden Ausarbeitung zugrunde und soll klären, welche taktische Ausrichtung zwischen 1954 und 1970 die erfolgreichste Prägung besaß. Darüber hinaus wird im Folgenden die Situation und der Status des Fußballs innerhalb der bezogen auf die Weltmeisterschaftsturniere bis einschließlich Mexiko 1970 vier führenden Nationen analysiert und interpretiert.

With 33 criminal convictions against him, plus a further 33 cases either dropped or found not guilty, he has been remanded nine times including one charge of attempted murder when he was aged just 18. He became rapidly embroiled in a life of violence and was in and out of prison just as many times as he was in and out of the hospital. His was a life dedicated to football violence in the shape of the Celtic Soccer Crew. O'Kane's memoirs are about the extraordianry struggle of a gang of football hooligans to survive, despite discovering an unexpected enemy: the indomitable Celtic Support - a support that guarded its reputation and good name with a passion O'Kane hadn't reckoned with, even as a Celtic supporter himself.

563548696,Liverpool,David Hills & The Guardian,Guardian Books,"Sep 19, 2012",Guardian News and Media,20 Defining Matches,"In December 1959 the Guardian ran a story on a struggling Second Division club: “W. Shankly was appointed manager of Liverpool last night at a salary reported to be £2,500 a year.”
Five years on, the struggle was just a memory. The Guardian's Eric Todd was at Anfield to watch Shankly's dramatically reshaped Liverpool surge to the Division One title. “The handclapping created the impression of millions of dried peas being dropped on a corrugated iron roof... The Liverpool players did a lap of honour. As they reached the Kop, they slowed down – I swear some of them bowed – a deserved tribute to a section of the local population which, if it did but know it, 'rode sublime upon the seraph-wings of ecstasy'. If the Kop thinks that too fancy, no matter. 'Ee I Alley Oh, Liverpool are the champs.' Europe has been warned.”
The extraordinary Shankly years are just part of Liverpool's remarkable history – the club growing from a 19th-century base to become European football's dominant force, powered by some of the game's greatest stars, from Billy Liddell to Ian Rush.
Based on original reports from the Guardian and Observer archives from the last 120 years, this unique collection revisits 20 of the club's defining matches, from its first FA Cup final in 1914 and the rise and fall of Kenny Dalglish, to one almighty night in Istanbul.

As a footballer, he carved out a fearsome reputation for Rangers, Zenit St Petersburg and the Netherlands. Throughout his time at Ibrox, his aggressive approach won him hero status among the Rangers fans, and off the field he was just as dynamic a force, finding himself on the front pages of the national newspapers as often as in the sports sections. After leaving the club in 2006 and signing for Zenit St Petersburg, he went on to defeat his former teammates in the final of the 2008 UEFA Cup and established as wild a reputation in Russia as he had in Glasgow. In a career that saw him win twelve caps for Holland and an array of silverware and titles for Fortuna Sittard, AZ Alkmaar, Rangers and Zenit St Petersburg, Ricksen has stood out both on and off the field with the sheer force of his personality and his never-say-die attitude.

501036900,Celtic in the 1980s,Sean Huddleston,JMD Media,"Feb 07, 2012",JMD Media,The Lost Decade,"The book will look at Celtic in the 1980s, the triumphs and disasters both on and off the pitch, and contextualise the changing world around Parkhead from politics to fashion, from music to television. Each season will be taken in turn and every major issue and event will be covered in suitable detail. Ultimately, it will be a journey to one of the most controversial and action packed eras of the club’s history.This work is a wistful and nostalgic look at this period. Any supporter who underwent their ‘formative’ years in this period will normally re-count it in reasonably glowing terms. However, this work is also a lament. The club refused to join the football ‘new order’ at this time and the legacy that this left was an embittered and cynical one which could be argued has never left the club’s support. Supporters, like myself, who grew up listening to other supporters who had their formative experiences in the 1960s and 1970s listened to tales about the club climbing its way to the top of European football’s gentry and establishing Celtic as a recognisable member of the continentsí footballing elite. Indeed, a fear was taking hold that the club was slipping towards mediocrity.This is not an exploration of a ‘dark time’ for Celtic. Rather, the 1980s has the feel of a ‘lost decade’, a lost time where Celtic could have, and should have, been at the top table of domestic and European football. Instead, for every wonderful (and they were wonderful) success that Celtic experienced, two steps back were the next moves taken.The AuthorSean Huddleston, 33, was born and raised in Belfast before spending the majority of his adult life in Glasgow after initially attending the University of Strathclyde to study Modern British History. Sean is a history teacher of eight years, historian and writer having written for The Times website, CQN Magazine as well as being an established writer for the Celtic website The Celtic Underground for the last two years. Sean has also been a season ticket holder at Celtic Park for the last five years as well as a shareholder for the last three. Sean also worked in the Celtic museum and visitor centre for six years gaining a valuable insight into club history, memorabilia and records.Sean has recently successfully completed an Mres in Modern British History specialising in the history of identity in Scotland and Ireland.
Sean’s first ever Celtic game was the infamous ‘Cliftonville friendly’ that was held in Belfast, August 1984 (and subsequently abandoned due to rioting!).

DBA Independent Publishers Group",,"Boxing Day 1920, and 53,000 men, women and children pack inside Goodison Park. The extraordinary crowds have come to watch two local rivals play a match for charity. But this is no ordinary charity fixture. Eleven of the players are international celebrities and their team is the biggest draw in British—and world—football. Yet they are all full-time factory workers—and they are women. They are the ladies of Dick Kerr electrical works. And the male football establishment is terrified by them. With the men away fighting from 1914–1918, most of the workers in the factories of northern England were women. And many factories had a ladies’ football team. In December 1917, the team from the Dick Kerr factory challenged the ladies of the nearby Arundel Coulthard Foundry to a charity match. It was the first of 828 games for Dick Kerr Ladies as over the decades they scored more than 3,500 goals and raised the equivalent of £1million for an array of charities. By 1920, ladies’ football was a major spectator sport. But away from the cheering terraces the bastions of professional men’s football viewed the mass popularity of women’s soccer with increasing alarm. On December 5, 1921 the Football Association met in London. After a brief debate behind closed doors it unanimously passed an urgent resolution: women’s football was banned from all professional football grounds. Dick Kerr Ladies did not give in, playing their matches on parkland with thousands of spectators turning up to watch. But constant pressure from the FA meant that one by one, teams began to fold. It would take until 1971 for the FA to lift its ban. Today, women’s football has once again claimed a place in the global game. But it came too late for the pioneers of the sport: Preston Ladies—née Dick Kerr Ladies—played their last match in 1969. Girls With Balls tells the extraordinary story of the time when women ruled the football world. With recollections from the last remaining member of the team from Dick Kerr’s glory years and a treasure trove of contemporary photographs, this is the missing chapter in the history of football, its last great secret. It is a story of men with power, wealth and a fiefdom to protect.

Soccer superstar and darling of the paparazzi, David Beckham has reached iconic status across the world for his achievements and exploits both on and off the field. This all-inclusive biography traces his incredible life starting from his early years playing for Manchester United at the age of 17 up to his career with Paris Saint-Germain in 2013—his entire salary for which he pledged to a Parisian children's charity. Beckham’s successes on the field—he is the only player to score a goal in three different World Cups—are only matched by his public accomplishments. Aside from his marriage to Victoria Beckham, he is also known for his support for UNICEF, his work as a goodwill ambassador for the charity, and for founding soccer academies in both Los Angeles and London. Beckham was instrumental in promoting London's 2012 Olympics, and carrying the Torch was a fitting reward.

In May 1967 Celtic were the undisputed champions of Europe. But could they maintain their position? The answer looked like a resounding ""no"" after an early failure in next season's European Cup and an ill-fated trip to South America which they would have been better to have had nothing to do with. Even in Scotland, their position seemed to be tottering badly in January 1968. Could they fight back?
This book supplies the answers.

A flashing strokeplayer who could take any bowling attack apart, he also played football at the highest level, winning an FA Cup-winners medal with Arsenal.

DBA Independent Publishers Group",Rangers Legend,"Ally McCoist is one of Scottish soccer's best-loved characters. In a two-decade career, he won the hearts and minds of legions of fans as he established himself as one of the most popular sporting personalities in the UK. A schoolboy prodigy, it was always clear that McCoist was destined for top flight soccer. At just 16 he signed his first professional contract with St. Johnstone, shooting to prominence in the 1980-81 season, scoring 22 league goals, and playing a starring role for the Scottish youth team. He was soon hot property. After two years of mixed fortunes at Sunderland, McCoist returned to Scotland and signed with his boyhood heroes, the Glasgow Rangers. Over the next fifteen years, he established himself as arguably the greatest goal-scorer ever to play for the club. He not only gave heart and soul for Rangers but was also capped 61 times for Scotland. An authoritative and affectionate portrait of this much-loved sportsman, Ally McCoist: Rangers Legend charts the highs and lows of a fascinating career, culminating in McCoist reaching legendary status. It also looks at the events that helped to shape his life—overcoming homesickness when first playing for an English club and how he coped when his young son had to undergo several life-saving operations. Having hung up his boots, Ally's vibrant personality made him a natural for the television screen. Now, however, he has come full circle and returned ""home""—after a successful spell as assistant manager at his beloved Rangers, he has taken over the reins to become manager. This wonderful book is a must-read for any soccer fan, or indeed for anyone captivated by this large-than-life character.",,0.0,$8.99,432 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/ally-mccoist/id917346228?mt=11

360606773,Beckham,David Beckham & Tom Watt,HarperCollins e-books,"Oct 13, 2009",HarperCollins,,"In England, where he spent ten seasons leading his storied club Manchester United and his nation to soccer glory, he is so wildly popular that his countrymen voted him the face they'd most want to see imprinted on their money. (Winston Churchill finished second.) In Japan, where he is worshiped as much for his headline-making fashion trends as for his ability to bend a ball around a wall of defenders, women styled their bikini waxes after the blond mohawk he sported during the 2002 World Cup. And in Spain, within days of his $41 million trade to Real Madrid, his new team received two million requests to buy his number 23 jersey. The legend of David Beckham -- soccer god, global sex symbol, style icon -- has been celebrated around the world, arguably more than Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan combined. Now, with the publication of his long-awaited autobiography, the man who inspired the surprise hit movie Bend It Like Beckham is set to conquer the last remaining outpost where soccer is not a national religion: the United States.Beckham is a classic rags-to-riches saga: a boy, David, is born to a poor East End London family. He develops prodigious soccer skills, and his parents nurture him until he becomes one of the most gifted athletes of his generation. He grows up to marry Victoria -- a Spice Girl, ""Posh"" -- and enters a celebrity whirlwind of Princess Diana -- esque proportions. Together, the Beckhams are Britain's new royal couple -- their 240-acre estate outside of London is known as Beckingham Palace -- and their presence at parties or charity events guarantees endless tabloid stories and photos as well as adoring mobs that must be restrained by police barricades. Their life is as much a study in managing fame as it is in sports and pop phenomena.In Beckham he talks candidly about the pressures of celebrity -- his wife and sons were the targets of a 2002 kidnapping plot; how he balances his roles as a devoted husband and besotted father with his globetrotting existence as an international soccer player; the behind-the-scenes stories of his most memorable career moments, such as the penalty kick against archrival Argentina in the World Cup that redeemed him to a nation who blamed him for their failure in the previous World Cup; the controversy surrounding his move to Real Madrid and the falling out with the man who shaped his career, Manchester United's famously combative manager Sir Alex Ferguson; and, finally, his love of America -- his first son was conceived in and named Brooklyn -- where, like the great Pelé, David can imagine playing out his final seasons.So much has been written about David Beckham that it's easy to think we know everything about the world's most famous athlete, but only Beckham himself can set the record straight on his beliefs, his dreams, his loves, his fears, and, above all, his sense of who he is. Beckham is an intimate account of an extraordinary life, a life in which, against all odds, he has managed to keep both feet on the ground.",3.875,4.0,$10.99,464 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/beckham/id360606773?mt=11

548625160,Perry Boys,Ian Hough,Milo Books Ltd,"Jul 27, 2012",Milo Books Limited,The Casual Gangs of Manchester and Salford,"'A kaleidoscope of football and fashion; drugs and violence; music and sex.' - United We Stand magazine.
In the late 1970s, a small body of violent young trendsetters exploded out of England's north-west to bewilder, terrify, and eventually enlighten the rest of the country. Their novel hooligan style came to be known as the 'casual' movement, with its wedge haircut and obsession with designer clothing and training shoes. Ian Hough came of age at the epicentre of the explosion, in 1979 in north Manchester, where outsiders branded these unlikely-looking pretenders Perry Boys due to the Fred Perry polo shirts they wore with their narrow cords and Adidas Stan Smith trainers.
Hough witnessed the sudden ramping up of an age-old rivalry between Manchester and Liverpool's Scallies, as the two cities' football hooligans realised each was a carbon copy of the other, and how they all in turn were embracing a form of organised violence, thievery, and thinking that was yet to see the light of day elsewhere in the UK. As the enlightened tribes of the north-west dug in for the long war, slashing each other with craft knives and engaging in battles involving thousands, the rest of Britain began to pick up the styles for themselves.
He describes, in vivid and often humorous prose how the Perry Boys kick-started a national fashion eruption whose tremors are still being felt. The book moves through the 80s underground, as the psychedelic fragments of what came to be termed the Rave scene gravitated from the council estates and football stadia of Manchester into the nightclubs. Manchester's subsequent descent into mayhem, in the form of gangsters, drug dealers, and music, now bathed in the strange glow of hallucinogenic drugs like Ecstasy, spawned the 'Madchester' scene of modern urban legend. The sense of unreality and optimism which accompanied Manchester United's domestic and European successes later became inextricably dovetailed to the scene in the city.
Rounding off with the story of how this unlikely new style had proved contagious across the UK, and how its perpetrators proceeded to travel the globe in search of greener pastures, Hough describes the mass exodus of young people, many of whom exported the philosophy of the Perry mindset, grafting and simply travelling for its own sake, around the globe. This book is for anyone who is interested in how things began, whether it was football hooligan culture or the Rave mentality.",,0.0,$3.99,320 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/perry-boys/id548625160?mt=11

DBA Independent Publishers Group",The Biography of Ryan Giggs,"The story of the most decorated player in English soccer history, with 11 Premier League titles, two Champions League victories, and four FA Cup winner's medals to his name
Giggs is an astonishing player with an unparalleled career, and here is his amazing story. By the time he made his Manchester United first team debut at 17, many considered Giggs to be the greatest talent since George Best. By the advent of the Premier League in 1992, he was firmly established as United's left winger, a position he continued to dominate until late in his career, when Ferguson switched him to a deeper role in central midfield. Famed for his pace and skill on the ball, Giggs has scored vital goals throughout his career, most notably his incredible solo effort in the 1999 FA Cup semi-final replay against Arsenal. He was an integral part of the historic 1999 Treble-winning side, and is the only Man U player to have played in both the 1999 and 2008 Champions League victories. Giggs eclipsed Bobby Charlton's record in April 2009, when he made his 800th appearance for United. That year also brought his 11th Premier League winner's medal and the PFA Player of the Year award. Giggs has scored nearly 150 goals for United and his incredible record with the club has ensured that he will go down in history as one of United's greatest ever players.

He is one of the biggest and most influential characters in the Anfield dressing room.
Pepe began his career with Barcelona before leaving to join Villarreal in 2002 and then Liverpool in 2005, where he has so far won the UEFA Super Cup and FA Cup. He has won The Golden Glove award for clean sheets in a season more than any other Premier League goalkeeper. He is also a European Championship and World Cup winner with Spain.
Tony Barrett, his co-author, is the Merseyside Football Correspondent for The Times newspaper, and lives in Liverpool.
Pepe Reina is a hero to the fans of Liverpool Football Club.
The Reds’ goalkeeper has established himself as one of the big stars at Anfield and worn the captain’s armband in the absence of Kop legends Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher.
Pepe: My Autobiography is the fascinating personal account of his rise to the top of the game. From winning the FA Cup, European Championship and World Cup, to the agony of a Champions League final defeat and surviving the off-pitch drama that tore one of the country’s greatest football clubs apart.
Pepe has witnessed first-hand the rise and fall of Rafa Benitez’s Spanish revolution at Anfield and he gives his revealing insight on some amazing Kop glory nights as well as the controversial departures of compatriots Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres.
He also speaks openly about the ill-fated reign of Roy Hodgson and the events that forced him to consider his Reds future before the arrival of new American owners and Kenny Dalglish’s celebrated return.
Pepe paints a colourful portrait of his legendary Spanish team-mates and reveals how bittersweet experiences suffered by his goalkeeper father provided him with the personal inspiration to succeed.
Away from the pitch, Pepe is a real family man who feels at home in Liverpool, and someone who likes to enjoy every day to the full.

489417732,In Search of Alan Gilzean,James Morgan,BackPage Press,"Oct 17, 2011",BACKPAGE PRESS LTD,The Lost Legacy of a Dundee and Spurs Legend,"NOMINATED FOR BEST FOOTBALL BOOK OF 2010 IN THE BRITISH SPORTS BOOK AWARDS
Updated second edition
True greatness does not feel the need to proclaim itself from the rooftops. It is happy to state its case quietly, yet with utter conviction. Alan Gilzean was a truly great footballer. Every observer of his talent confirms this as an indisputable fact: from the legendary Jimmy Greaves, who regards him as the best striker he ever played with, to Don Revie, the former Leeds United and England manager, who described the former Tottenham striker as the best touch player in Europe, and Spurs fans whose spine-tingling refrain, Gilzean, Gilzean, Born is the King of White Hart Lane, continues to echo down the generations.
It is now 36 years since Gilzean retired from professional football and his life and times have become shrouded in mystery and rumour. All that exists are the memories of his greatness ... but how long before even those are forgotten forever? After fans on Tottenham Hotspur online forums claim that Gilzean is living as a down-and-out, James Morgan, a lifelong Spurs fan and sports journalist with The Herald, Scotland's leading quality newspaper, is filled with a fierce desire to separate fact from fiction and sets out on a journey In Search of Alan Gilzean.
The facts of his illustrious career are down in black and white: 169 goals for Dundee, including 52 in one season, a record that stood until Henrik Larsson broke it in 2001; a league championship medal with the great Dundee team of the early 1960s; then, a move to Spurs in December 1964, where, over the course of the next decade, he forms unforgettable partnerships with Greaves and Martin Chivers. Gilzean's greatness shines like a beacon, but where is the rest of his story?
Morgan soon discovers that a sprinkling of newspaper cuttings, a Wikipedia page and idle internet chatter, are all that exist of a life less ordinary. The Scottish Football Association Hall of Fame website included a Swede, Larsson, and a Dane, Brian Laudrup, but no Gillie. Dundee FC has named lounges after former players who are not fit to lace Gilzean's boots. Spurs haven't heard from him in years. Former team-mates are none the wiser. One of the best British strikers of his generation is a forgotten man. Morgan's desire to change this, and find out the full story, takes him on an exhilarating personal journey all over Britain. From Gillie's birthplace, in the small Perthshire village of Coupar Angus, to Dundee, London and beyond, he leaves no stone unturned.
Initially, Gillie hovers in the shadow before emerging as a fascinating and complex character whose natural reticence has obscured his legacy. Morgan's portrait of the original King of White Hart Lane restores him to his rightful place in football folklore and stands as the only faithful testimony to the life of a bona fide British football legend.",,0.0,$5.99,410 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/in-search-of-alan-gilzean/id489417732?mt=11

Tall, handsome and as stong as an ox he was a national treasure and a true Boy's Own hero.But by the 70s Tommy's life was in ruins. Bankrupt, drinking heavily and on the dole after a succession of failed managerial posts and business ventures, the famous football legend faced jail after numerous court appearances. Withdrawn, depressed and out of love with football and life he came close to ending it all. In ""Get In There!"" - which Lawton would famously shout as the ball hit the back of the net from one of his bullet headers - his great friend, former Nottingham Evening Post editor, Barrie Williams, and his son, Tom Lawton Junior, have pieced together an exclusively personal account of Tommy Lawton's extraordinary life. Packed with wonderful memories and anecdotes, the book brings the story of Tommy Lawton, the footballer, to life: the poor working class background, the emerging talent, playing for Burnley aged 16, signing for Everton and practising headers for hours with the great Dixie Dean, starring in England's greatest ever attack with Stanley Matthews and Stan Mortensen. It also tells the moving, human story of Tommy Lawton, the man: how the idolised star's life descended into a cruel morass of debt, poverty, drink, shame and scandal before a chance encounter put him back on top, where he belonged. Beyond Tommy, the book encapsulates a footballing heyday when the stadiums were packed with working men straight from the factories and the players earned just a few pounds a week, smoked cigarettes at half-time and went on holiday to Blackpool if they were lucky.

In December 1957, seven months after Villa had lifted the FA Cup, Gerry’s ambition had been fulfilled when Eric Houghton signed him from Cardiff City for a club record of £22,000.It took Gerry a season or so to find his feet and establish himself to the Villa Park faithful after an indifferent start to his Villa career, but on 14th November 1959, Gerry Hitchens embarked on a goalscoring streak which will probably never be matched again when he grabbed 10 goals in 3 games, including 5 in one match against Charlton in a record 11–1 home victory. From then on, Gerry Hitchens would become a household name and a Villa ‘icon.’ He scored 42 goals in the 1960–61 season under Joe Mercer and he became seemingly irreplaceable for Villa. England came calling shortly afterwards and his name was soon on everyone’s lips.After nearly four years at Villa and 96 goals later, Gerry Hitchens had seemingly ‘outgrown’ Villa and a wonderful display for England in Rome, where he scored two goals in a 3–2 victory, stamped his arrival on the international scene and scouts from Italy and Spain were asking who this “Itchens” was. The Italians soon found out in June 1961 when Gerry signed for Inter Milan for £85,000 and a huge signing on fee.

But it is also a book about what it has meant to be a Manchester United supporter during the remarkable 25-year reign of Sir Alex Ferguson. The book begins in the winter of 1986 - when Sir Alex found himself in charge of a demoralised club facing relegation - and describes the creation of his first great side, including Schmeichel, Bruce, Pallister, Keane, Ince, Giggs, Hughes and Cantona. It goes on to introduce Fergie's Fledglings - the generation of David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, Gary and Phil Neville - who were thrown straight into Ferguson's side as teenagers, won the double in 1995 and went on to seal the treble in Barcelona in 1999. It then describes how, after Beckham left for Real Madrid in 2003, United were knocked off their perch first by Arsenal, then by cash-rich Chelsea. Ferguson needed a response to Jose Mourinho's spectacular revolution ... And in Rooney and Ronaldo, playing alongside Rio Ferdinand, Scholes, Giggs, Tevez and Vidic, he found one. As much an homage to a great man as it is a passionate account of one fan's lifelong devotion to his team, Life with Sir Alex is a the perfect read for football fans all over the world.",,0.0,$11.99,256 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/life-with-sir-alex/id570757023?mt=11

Recognise the name? Of course you don’t. That’s because most of Smith’s years in the game were spent outside the vaunted, big-money environs of the Premier League and this sporting memoir is all the more entertaining as a result. 1995: an adolescent Ben arrives at the training ground of one of England’s biggest clubs to begin his journey and realise his dream of playing top-flight professional football. Aged just sixteen, he shares pre-season sessions at Arsenal with the likes of Dennis Bergkamp and Ian Wright. Surely this is the start of a stellar career?

It is a concept that many don't take seriously or even consider, but knowing what to do to maintain a safe core temperature when lost in a blizzard or in the desert could save your life. Lundin delivers the message with wit, rebellious humor, and plenty of backcountry expertise. Cody Lundin and his Aboriginal Living Skills School have been featured in dozens of national and international media sources, including Dateline NBC, CBS News, USA Today, The Donny and Marie Show, and CBC Radio One in Canada, as well as on the cover of Backpacker magazine. When not teaching for his own school, he is an adjunct faculty member at Yavapai College and a faculty member at the Ecosa Institute.

727770084,Fields of Dreams,Chris Arnot,Step Beach Press,"Nov 08, 2012",Directebooks Ltd,Grounds That Football Forgot But the Fans Never Will,"Football is big business. Everybody knows that. Football is also show business - increasingly so as the Premier League clubs offer big money to lure big-time players from around the globe. But the loyalty of long-term fans was nurtured on crumbling terraces and in rickety stands that reared up from red-brick streets. Fans put up with discomfort, questionable safety standards, verbal and sometimes physical threats, watery Bovril and primitive toilets. Why? For the camaraderie forged by a common cause; the moments of magic that transform a humdrum Saturday afternoon or a chilly, floodlit evening; the unlikely victories against seemingly impregnable opponents; the chance to say “I was there”.Fields of Dreams is a book that goes in search of those moments, those memories from Maine Road and Highbury, the Baseball Ground and the Goldstone Ground, the Dell and the Den and many more. Chris Arnot travels from the south coast to Wearside, from Cardiff Bay to the Humber Estuary to tease out the tales of 25 grounds that football forgot but the fans never have and never will.",,0.0,$9.99,160 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/fields-of-dreams/id727770084?mt=11

Another 66 appearances as substitute boosted his Anfield career total and it was for his role as Liverpool's number 12 for which he is best remembered. Fairclough was, and always will be, the original 'Supersub'. Yet, it is a moniker he loved and loathed in equal measure and one he felt ultimately held him back in his career. In this refreshingly candid autobiography Fairclough relives the highs and lows of a colourful career. He recalls his meteoric rise to stardom and the priceless contribution he made to the Liverpool's remarkable success under Bob Paisley. From his key role against St Etienne on arguably Anfield's greatest night, through a career that witnessed 19 major trophies, Fairclough lifts the lid on what life was really like for him in the Anfield dressing room of that time, his often fraught relationship with Paisley and explains the psychological burden of being cast as 'the outsider looking in'. In an evocative collaboration with journalist Mark Platt, Fairclough's story is at once a compelling insight into one of the greatest teams in football history, populated by the great players whom David played with and against, and the gripping and characteristically honest memoir of one of Liverpool's most popular sons.",,0.0,$9.99,272 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/supersub/id1026127504?mt=11

Dall’altra c’é Andrew Jennings, giornalista d’inchiesta abituato a sporcarsi le mani: ha studiato la Mafia a Palermo accanto a Giovanni Falcone, è stato cronista di guerra in Medio Oriente e Cecenia, ha rivelato la corruzione endemica del Comitato Olimpico Internazionale negli anni Novanta e da allora ha continuato a seguire la scia delle tangenti.
Quando le loro strade si incrociano ha inizio un duello senza esclusione di colpi. Jennings incalza Blatter ogni volta che ne ha l’occasione, Blatter lo scredita agli occhi dell’opinione pubblica e lo bandisce da tutte le conferenze stampa ufficiali della Fifa. Ma il marcio che viene a galla è vastissimo: i Mondiali sono assegnati ai Paesi che sostengono Blatter nel consiglio direttivo della Fifa, le squadre dei Paesi ospitanti ricevono arbitraggi favorevoli (basti pensare a Byron Moreno di Italia-Corea del 2002), la compravendita dei diritti marketing e televisivi è pilotata.
E c’è una montagna di denaro che la Fifa ricicla, nasconde ai quattro angoli del mondo, utilizza per corrompere ancora e ancora. Le prove e i documenti raccolti da Jennings sono così schiaccianti che l’Fbi decide di acquisirne i dossier: e quando sviluppa le indagini si ritrova tra le mani il più grande scandalo sportivo della Storia, che culmina con le dimissioni di Blatter nel giugno 2015. Omertà è il racconto in prima persona di una battaglia lunga quasi quindici anni, è un’inchiesta serrata che si legge come un romanzo, un libro dedicato a tutti quelli che vorrebbero che il calcio tornasse a essere “solo” il gioco più bello del mondo; ma anche agli amanti delle spy story, peccato che tutto quello che racconta Andrew Jennings sia tremendamente vero e puntualmente documentato.",,0.0,$14.99,370 Pages,Italian,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/omerta/id1040921906?mt=11

In the most colourful book ever written about the club, we learn about the long-running feud between Kenny Burns and Trevor Francis, how Forest were cheated out of a European final by a ‘dodgy’ referee, how Brian Clough once punched Stuart Pearce in the dressing room and why Roy Keane once called the author a ‘fecking idiot’.
From the ‘glory years’ Garry Birtles, John Robertson, Viv Anderson, John McGovern and many others pay tribute to Clough and recall those magical days when unheralded, unfashionable Forest won the European Cup twice and could rightly claim to be the greatest football team in the world. Nigel Clough lifts the lid on what it was really like to be the manager’s son, the fiercely secretive Des Walker breaks the habit of a lifetime to offer a personal insight and Pearce explains why a part of him will always hate Derby County and Liverpool. Add to that the revealing, often controversial, stories of Ian Storey-Moore, Archie Gemmill, Larry Lloyd and Niel Webb and Deep into the Forest is the ultimate read for Forest’s supporters and a lasting tribute to Brian Clough.",,0.0,$9.99,239 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/deep-into-the-forest/id426364031?mt=11

Updated and expanded, this biography brings the story right up to the end of Mourinho's first season with Chelsea since he left in 2007, showing exactly why English soccer would be infinitely poorer without the colorful and commanding presence of the ""Special One""
The ""Special One"" returns as ""the Happy One,"" calmer and better than before. Grayer, perhaps less flamboyant, even opting for a self-inflicted crew cut, but he's still the Special One, still confrontational, passionate, and full of chutzpah. Jose Mourinho is a masterful tactician, and surely now the best boss in the business. In his first stint at Stamford Bridge he won two League titles back to back, the FA Cup and two League Cups, and included a still-unsurpassed Premier League points tally record of 95 in the 2004/05 season. And after six years spent sweeping all before him with Real Madrid and Inter Milan, his absence certainly made the heart grow fonder. Chelsea's army of fans love him every bit as much as they used to, and those heady days beckon once more for Chelsea since he replaced the hugely unpopular Rafa Benitez in June 2013. One thing has changed, though—Chelsea is no longer the richest club around. But when his new Blues demolished Manchester City at the Etihad, Gary Neville heralded Mourinho's master class: ""He's shrewd, he's smart and he calls it on. He's good and he knows he's good.

After the World Cup win, crowds outside the team hotel in Kensington sang “For he's a jolly good fellow” to Alf Ramsey, looking forward to years of domination. Nearly five decades later, the wait goes on.
This is the story of how the England national team grew into the country's most engaging football soap opera; how they rose from a 19th-century team of public schoolboys, became champions of the world, then descended into a tormented string of bizarre near misses, false dawns and botched quarter-finals – and went from being led by a Sir, to a Turnip, then a Swede.
Based on original reports from the Guardian and Observer archives from the last 140 years, we revisit 20 of England's defining matches – from the 1934 Battle of Highbury and the shame of Nazi salutes in Berlin to the highs of Euro 96 and beyond, all in the words of contemporary writers. This unique collection also poses some big questions: what are the lessons of the past – and what is it that makes England's fans keep believing?

Like any sane person, his response is to travel to Luton, Crewe and Hinckley. After a decade's exile in Scotland, he sets out to reacquaint himself with England via what he considers its greatest asset: football. Watching teams from the Championship (or Division Two as any right-minded person calls it) to the South West Peninsula Premier, and aimlessly walking around towns from Carlisle to Newquay, Gray paints a curious landscape forgotten by many. He discovers how the provinces made the England we know, from Teesside's role in the Empire to Luton's in our mongrel DNA. Moments in the histories of his teams come together to form football's narrative, starting with Sheffield pioneers and ending with fan ownership at Chester, and Gray shows how the modern game unifies an England in flux and dominates the places in which it is played.

As EURO 2000 approached, attention once again focused on the potential threat posed by the activities of football hooligans. Not just those from England, but also from Holland, Belgium, Germany,Italy, France and even Turkey. Yet as this last year has proven, whilst the hooligans in other nations cause as much, if not more, trouble than their English counterparts, it is the activities of the fans from this country which always seems to attract the greatest scrutiny. And with good reason. For hooliganism is on the rise in England again. And from amongst their number has emerged a new breed of thug, more dangerous and cunning than their predecessors ever were.
Hooligans who have adopted the style and mannerisms of the old school casuals whilst embracing the technology of the mobile phone, the pager and more importantly, the Internet. How has it come to this? And why? More importantly, how can we stop them?
Using the hard-edged, in-your-face style of his previous books, Dougie Brimson explores every aspect of the hooligan issue and lays it bare. From the birth of the problem in the fourteenth century to the explosion of organised violence via the world wide web, Barmy Army examines the people, the causes, the methods and the history of this frightening, yet fascinating problem.",,0.0,$1.99,182 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/barmy-army/id481223903?mt=11

DBA Independent Publishers Group",The Biography,"Harry Redknapp is one of the biggest and best-loved characters in English football. From West Ham to Bournemouth, Portsmouth to Tottenham, legions of fans regard him as one of the game's true legends. Signing for West Ham United as a 17-year-old in 1964, Redknapp went on to make 149 top-flight appearances for the club. In 1972 he moved to Bournemouth and played 101 times before returning in 1982 to take up his first coaching role, as assistant manager, stepping up to take the reins as manager after helping the club avoid relegation from the Football League. A major car accident in 1990 forced him to rethink his career options and, disillusioned with life at Bournemouth, he made the switch to another of his former clubs, West Ham. In an eight-year association with the club he was instrumental in bringing top players like Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Michael Carrick, and his own nephew Frank Lampard through the youth academy ranks. Redknapp then headed to Portsmouth, gaining promotion in 2003 and keeping them in the top flight the following season. Off the field things were less rosy, and disagreements with owner Milan years saw him make a controversial move to bitter rivals Southampton in late 2004. This time he was unable to work his magic, and Southampton were relegated from the Premier League for the first time in 27 years. Redknapp resigned after just a year in the job, courting controversy yet again with a return to Portsmouth. He arrived in the middle of a relegation dogfight, but Portsmouth survived and the following season Redknapp led the side to their highest league placing in almost 50 years. Tipped to take the helm at Newcastle United in January 2008, Redknapp instead remained at Portsmouth, steering the club to their first FA Cup victory in 69 yeras with a 1–0 win over Cardiff City. Despite this success, Redknapp joined Tottenham Hotspur in October 2008, taking over from beleaguered boss Juande Ramos. Within two weeks Spurs were out of the relegation zone, cementing his status as ""Harry Houdini,"" master of the great escape. He has since notched up victories against Liverpool and Manchester City, and led the club to the semi-finals of the Carling Cup.",,0.0,$9.99,270 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/harry-redknapp/id535227489?mt=11

There seems to be few books dedicated to Norwich, even though it’s the highest achieving club in Norfolk. It looks at the 2011/12 season on and off the field, from the jubilation of promotion from the Championship to the thrills and spills of competing with the best teams in England, the feelings before, during and after games and the all consuming nature of being a Norwich supporter.
Over the years much has happened at Carrow Road. The supporters have been poked, prodded, dealt cruel blows and seen dour performances. They've been encouraged to pay up and shut up, and believe the line that you can be prudent and ambitious.
But since the club board changed and the management team was reinvigorated it’s been a fantastic rollercoaster ride. The spirit of the team, the dedication of the support, and the humour and excitement surrounding the club has catapulted Norwich back to where they belong – in the Premier League.
It casts a humorous eye over the strange world of a football fan. Dealing with a whole host of subjects from the weekly hike to Norwich from London to watch games, the constant struggle to convince your partner that you aren’t crazy and the weird and wonderful opportunities that arise to show your support for the team.
It tells of some of the extraordinary situations he has found himself in over the club’s first season back in the big time since 2005.
Being a Norwich fan is never easy, but the ride is worth it.
James Scoltock was educated at Acle High School, East Norfolk Sixth Form College and Lincoln University. He worked as an English teacher in Japan before returning to the UK and being given his first break in journalism with The Sunday Times before moving over to the world of automotive publishing with Automotive Engineer.
His love affair with football began over two decades ago, watching the great Liverpool teams of the 1980’s, but it was Norwich that stole his heart.
Now exiled in London, James is a season ticket holder and resident of the Barclay’s stand at Carrow Road.
He’s seen relegation, a title winning League One team, a return to the Championship, and the delirium of a return to the Premier League.",,0.0,$5.99,70 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/barlay-boy-season-in-the-sun/id483524398?mt=11

Women's soccer requires more than most. Two U.S. leagues have disappeared in the past decade. Players have put in countless hours of work for limited opportunities.
For this book, veteran women's soccer writer Beau Dure tracked the Washington Spirit through its debut season, from the first league draft to chilly early-season practices and the frustrations of a long winless streak. He watched a young team react to a coaching change, injuries, bus rides that were longer than they should have been, hundreds of autograph-seekers at every game, the occasional stray dog on the practice field, and the challenges of playing at a professional level. He watched as fans grew attached to the players, mourned the losses and eventually cheered the Spirit's success at the end of the season.
Featuring interviews with everyone who played for the Spirit, plus coaches and several people outside the club, the book goes behind the scenes to show the team on the practice field, on the bus and in a team-building exercise. Players talk about their love of the game and what they've done to pursue their dreams -- the travels to isolated spots overseas, the second jobs, and the endless quest for self-improvement.
The Spirit didn't win the league title or make the playoffs. But the team inspired thousands of fans through its first year, and players and fans finished the season already looking forward to the next one. The team restored professional women's soccer to Washington, laying a foundation to make sure the Spirit will endure.",,0.0,$5.99,326 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/enduring-spirit-restoring/id726670673?mt=11

913022825,Fergie Rises,Michael Grant,Aurum Press,"Aug 21, 2014",Quayside Publishing Group,How Britain's Greatest Football Manager Was Made At Aberdeen,"When Sir Alex Ferguson retired at the end of the 2013 season, he was the most successful football manager Britain had ever seen, having won twice as many trophies as his nearest rival. But that success had not come easily. Thirty-five years previously he had arrived at the rain-swept training ground at Aberdeen F.C. as the recently sacked manager of St Mirren; a hothead with a troublesome reputation and a lot to prove. Not for nothing, many thought he was a risky choice.
Fergie Rises returns to a time when Ferguson was lucky to get Aberdeen, not the other way around. It’s the story of an eight-year revolution that saw the Dons and their ambitious young manager knock the Old Firm off their perch, taste victory in Europe for the first time, and electrify Scottish football. When Ferguson finally left the club for Manchester United, in 1986, fans and rivals were unanimous in believing he had engineered one of the most astonishing upheavals in the game’s history.
Taking a view from inside the dug-out, and with the guidance of the giants of that Aberdeen team – including Willie Miller, Jim Leighton and Gordon Strachan – Michael Grant lays bare the full story of this remarkable but little known period of Ferguson’s career, revealing it as the crucible in which Britain’s greatest football manager was forged. Along the way he examines the personal tragedies Ferguson overcame – the deaths of his father and his mentor Jock Stein – and the rivalries, setbacks and triumphs that shaped a sporting genius.",,0.0,$14.99,352 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/fergie-rises/id913022825?mt=11
504780943,Barclay Boy Season in the Sun: Part 2,James Scoltock,JMD Media Ltd,"Feb 22, 2012",JMD Media,,"PART 2 of James Scoltock's diary following Norwich City in the Premier League.
There seems to be few books dedicated to Norwich, even though it’s the highest achieving club in Norfolk. It looks at the 2011/12 season on and off the field, from the jubilation of promotion from the Championship to the thrills and spills of competing with the best teams in England, the feelings before, during and after games and the all consuming nature of being a Norwich supporter.
Over the years much has happened at Carrow Road. The supporters have been poked, prodded, dealt cruel blows and seen dour performances. They've been encouraged to pay up and shut up, and believe the line that you can be prudent and ambitious.
But since the club board changed and the management team was reinvigorated it’s been a fantastic rollercoaster ride. The spirit of the team, the dedication of the support, and the humour and excitement surrounding the club has catapulted Norwich back to where they belong – in the Premier League.
It casts a humorous eye over the strange world of a football fan. Dealing with a whole host of subjects from the weekly hike to Norwich from London to watch games, the constant struggle to convince your partner that you aren’t crazy and the weird and wonderful opportunities that arise to show your support for the team.
It tells of some of the extraordinary situations he has found himself in over the club’s first season back in the big time since 2005.
Being a Norwich fan is never easy, but the ride is worth it.
James Scoltock was educated at Acle High School, East Norfolk Sixth Form College and Lincoln University. He worked as an English teacher in Japan before returning to the UK and being given his first break in journalism with The Sunday Times before moving over to the world of automotive publishing with Automotive Engineer.
His love affair with football began over two decades ago, watching the great Liverpool teams of the 1980’s, but it was Norwich that stole his heart.
Now exiled in London, James is a season ticket holder and resident of the Barclay’s stand at Carrow Road.
He’s seen relegation, a title winning League One team, a return to the Championship, and the delirium of a return to the Premier League.",,0.0,$6.99,192 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/barclay-boy-season-in-sun/id504780943?mt=11

London's violent football following London is home to some of British football's most notorious hooligans. However, the history of such infamous 'firms' as the ICF, the Headhunters and the Bushwhackers has never been fully documented... until now.
From the authors of the bestselling Everywhere We Go and England, My England comes a remarkable and frank examination of football violence involving the supporters of clubs from the capital. They explain not only how these groups have gained and maintained their reputations, but also why hooligans from other parts of the country see a trip to London as their biggest challenge, and how the system of public transport opens up opportunities for those who wish to fight.
Each of the major clubs is studied to assess why some seem to attract a more violent following than others and to explain how different inter-club and inter-regional rivalries have evolved.
Capital Punishment is an eye-opening study of a problem that refuses to go away.",,0.0,$3.99,165 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/capital-punishment/id498509510?mt=11

Tactics, motivation, fitness and luck play a part; but is an expensive squad increasingly essential for success?
Which managers have excelled in the transfer market? And who blew their budgets on bad buys?
Which clubs punched above their financial weight, and which ones punched well below theirs?
What players proved to be great value for their price tag, and who ended up as a shocking waste
of money?
By converting all Premier League transfer fees since 1992 to current-day prices – using our
specially devised Transfer Price Index (TPI) system to give precise ‘football inflation’ figures – teams could be accurately assessed against one another, whether from 1993 or 2010. How would
the prices paid for Dean Saunders, Roy Keane or Frank Lampard compare with Thierry Henry, Wayne Rooney or Robinho?
All 43 clubs to have played in the Premier League up to May 2010 are analysed, with noted writers
and journalists – including Jonathan Wilson, Gabriele Marcotti and Oliver Kay – also providing their views on the club they support or report on.
All in all, it makes for an entertaining and revealing read on the world’s most popular game, and its most appealing league.
“If you really want to know what has happened to the Premier League over its 18-year history, and
why so many people have become disgusted by its rapacity and selfishness, I urge you to seek out
a copy of Pay As You Play. ... [Football analysis] is best left to the professionals, like the admirable

De Riotinto a la Roja explores the long and fraught development of soccer in Spain that began with a group of British engineers and sailors playing soccer in Bilbao’s shipyards and ultimately led to an influx of South American and European stars whose engagement with homegrown players helped overcome political rivalries and resulted in some of the most exciting and technically sublime soccer ever seen. The book journeys through some of the most extraordinary characters and matches that have defined Spanish soccer while also serving as an invaluable study on Spain’s recent history, during which regional tensions and sectarianism have played out on soccer pitches all over the country—especially in the rivalry between F. C. Barcelona and Real Madrid, two of the richest, most powerful, and successful teams in the sport’s history.

To sæsoner i én og samme klub var nok, mente den rastløse globetrotter, der efter Anden Verdenskrig trådte frem som den første moderne fodboldtræner.

Boa parte da imprensa e grande parte da torcida quer o veterano Romário na Copa do Mundo. Mas Felipão fecha o grupo, forma a Família Scolari e embarca para a Ásia apostando suas fichas em Rivaldo, Ronaldinho Gaúcho e, principalmente, Ronaldo, o Fenômeno.

Santista desde criança, mas encantado pelo estilo de jogo do clube espanhol Barcelona, ele elucida de forma clara e objetiva a estratégia tática coletiva do time catalão e a importância desse novo estilo de jogo para a evolução do esporte. Ao longo do livro, o autor enfatiza as principais características que o fizeram considerar o Barcelona como o melhor time do mundo: qualidade e eficácia no passe; posse de bola absoluta (em torno de 70% por jogo); goleiros e zagueiros tão habilidosos quanto os laterais, volantes, meio-campistas e atacantes; toques curtos (4 a 5 metros) e repetidos; boa distribuição e ocupação do campo: os jogadores, como em um sistema de rodízio, fazem a bola correr de um lado para o outro, com a permanente perspectiva de ela sempre voltar ao ponto de origem; treinamento com foco em situações reais de jogo; retomada da bola, via marcação por pressão.

He also helped establish the club as the top team in Europe, leading the side to its first European Cup in 1977.

480606861,John Lyall,Philip Stevens,JMD Media,"Nov 14, 2011",JMD Media,West Ham Legend,"John Lyall was one of the most successful managers in English football in the 1980s. The former West Ham full-back, forced out of the game by a horrific knee injury at the age of 23, showed immense courage and determination to transform himself into a top coach. Lyall led West Ham United to their highest-ever top-flight league position, won the FA Cup against the mighty Arsenal and took the club to the final of the European Cup-Winners’ Cup. He was revered by the Upton Park faithful who loved him, not just for his success, but for encouraging his teams to play football the Hammers way.
Cruelly sacked by West Ham in 1989, Lyall was soon snapped up by Ipswich Town, then languishing in the lower half of the old 2nd Division. Lyall achieved a minor miracle with the Tractor Boys winning promotion to the Premier League in only his second season at Portman Road.
In this fascinating insight into English football in the 1980s, Philip Stevens recalls how England managers, Sir Bobby Robson and Terry Venables regularly turned to the former West Ham coach for advice. The story of how these three top football brains worked together will make interesting reading for all football lovers.
In researching the book the author was privileged to have access to the Lyall family. The pride they have in John’s career is recalled here through a wealth of anecdotes and stories. The family’s involvement in the book provides a unique insight into the life of one of the most loved and respected figures in professional football in the past 40 years.

613841329,Old Trafford: 100 Years of the Theatre of Dreams,Iain McCartney,Empire Publications enquiries@empire-uk.com,"Feb 22, 2013",Smashwords,,"Recognising football's exponential growth in the 1900s and the need to safely house vast numbers of supporters, Davies recognised that the champions of England and 1909 FA Cup winners needed a more spacious home than tatty old Bank Street, in Clayton, a ground with few facilities and a capacity of less than 25,000. A brewer by trade, the chairman found a spare plot of land in Old Trafford and, bolstered by the club's success, appointed famed football stand architect Archibald Leitch to construct a 100,000 capacity stadium on the site. Built in 1909 and officially opened in February 1910 for the league visit of Liverpool, Old Trafford was instantly acclaimed by one reporter as ""the most handsomest [sic], the most spacious and the most remarkable arena I have ever seen. As a football ground it is unrivalled in the world, it is an honour to Manchester and the home of a team who can do wonders when they are so disposed."" Unfortunately the stadium arrived at just the wrong time for the club as United were about to begin a 37 year trophy-free run, the longest in the club's history. Consequently, United's average attendance before the war rarely topped the 30,000 mark, in a ground with a capacity of over 70,000. The luckless stadium suffered further blows on the nights of the 8th and 11th March 1941 when it was bombed during The Blitz. And so for four seasons after the war United were forced to play their 'home' fixtures at Maine Road. Now in its second 'life' Old Trafford was no longer alone as a large capacity stadium, yet United's resurgence under Matt Busby filled it more often than not. The arrival of floodlights and European football heralded a new chapter: the stadium is widely regarded as at its best on such occasions and from the first game against the immortals of Real Madrid in 1957 the ground hosted continental opposition and became renowned across Europe. In the sixties the ground had a new cantilever stand added to the west in preparation for the 1966 World Cup Finals and, later, more seats were added at the Scoreboard End and behind the Stretford End. However these improvements were as nothing compared to the dramatic changes brought about in the wake of the Taylor Report. The birth of the Premier League and United's domestic dominance helped transform the ground - first into an all-seater stadium, then steady season-by-season growth saw it swell to hold over 75,000. For a period during the protracted construction of Wembley, the ground even became the national stadium hosting twelve England matches. In 'Old Trafford' Iain McCartney updates his original 1996 book. Featuring the original site plans, never-seen-before pictures of the ground's construction, development and, of course, the great matches hosted there. Almost alone now among the grounds built during the first football boom in the early 20th century, Old Trafford has become an essential part of the English football landscape to the extent that it is inconceivable that any future World Cup bid would not feature it prominently. A century on, it is still 'an honour to Manchester', and the north's prime football arena.",,0.0,$3.99,476 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/old-trafford-100-years-theatre/id613841329?mt=11

1029112368,Hard Case,Jimmy Case,John Blake,"Dec 01, 2014","Chicago Review Press, Inc. DBA Independent Publishers Group",,"
Jimmy Case is best remembered for a spectacular FA Cup final goal, and a deserved reputation as one of soccer's genuine hard men. But that does scant justice to a career that covered more than 700 appearances for 7 league clubs and did not end until he retired, through injury, at the age of 41. Raised on Merseyside, Jimmy began at his beloved Liverpool, becoming a key player in the all-conquering team of the late 1970s alongside stars like Kevin Keegan, John Toshack, Ray Clemence, Phil Thompson, Kenny Dalglish, and his two great mates, Tommy Smith and Ray Kennedy. At Anfield, where he was signed by Bill Shankly and guided by Bob Paisley, Jimmy won a boxful of medals: four league titles, three European cups, plus a host of other domestic honors which tell the truth about Jimmy Case—that he had much more than a tough tackle and a ferocious shot. As the man himself says, you couldn't get in that Liverpool team if you couldn't play. His ambition was to play his entire career at Liverpool, but fate sent him on a different route: to Brighton, where he almost won the FA Cup; to Southampton, where he played more than 200 games; to Bournemouth; Halifax; Wrexham; and a single outing for Darlington. Along the way he came up against players like Andy Gray, Graeme Souness, David Speedie, Graeme Sharp, and Norman Whiteside, often with painful results. Packed with incident and anecdotes, usually funny—but occasionally sad—this is the story of Jimmy Case, a true soccer legend.",,0.0,$9.99,240 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/hard-case/id1029112368?mt=11

Bicampeão do mundo de futebol, o Brasil busca o seu terceiro título e a almejada posse definitiva da Taça Jules Rimet, depois de uma participação desastrosa na Inglaterra, em 1966.
João Saldanha comanda a Seleção durante as Eliminatórias, fechando a sua passagem com uma campanha arrasadora. Entretanto, é demitido e em seu lugar assume Mário Jorge Lobo Zagallo, jovem treinador que participou das duas conquistas mundiais como ponta-esquerda.
Há quem questione as condições técnicas de Pelé, em sua quarta Copa do Mundo. Acompanhado de uma legião de craques, o Rei quer coroar a sua história em Mundiais com uma atuação à altura da lenda que construiu desde 1958.
“Campeões para Sempre” conta a trajetória do Brasil, desde a preparação até a grande final no Estádio Azteca, resultado de uma ampla pesquisa que resgata os principais lances de cada partida disputada e retrata – por meio dos “infogols” – todos os detalhes que conduziram a bola até o fundo das redes dos adversários.

580744971,Barca Verdens bedste fodboldhold,Graham Hunter,EC Edition,"Nov 21, 2012",eBokNorden,,"""Barça: Verdens bedste fodboldhold"" er BOGEN om FC Barcelona og den spillestil, som har begejstret en hel verden og gjort Barça til et forbillede og en magtfaktor i international fodbold.
FC Barcelona er verdens bedste fodboldhold. Det bedste i sin generation og måske det bedste af alle hold gennem tiden. Vi begynder med Champions League-finalen på Wembley i 2011 mod Manchester United. Vi er med inde i Barcas omklædningsrum og kommer helt tæt på holdets karismatiske træner, Pep Guardiola.
Historien fortælles gennem Barcas største personligheder - Guardiola, hans mentor Johan Cruyff, Xavi, Iniesta og ikke mindst Messi, måske den bedste fodboldspiller, vi har set - fra holdets åbenbaring i slutningen af 1980’erne til helgenkåringen i London 2011. Endelig giver Hunter sit bud på, hvorfor det blev Peps assistenttræner Tito Vilanova, der nu har overtaget trænerstolen efter Guardiola.
Forfatteren Graham Hunter flyttede til Barcelona i 2001. Han er journalist med et internationalt ry og dækker spansk fodbold og FC Barcelona for Sky Sports, BBC og aviser og magasiner over hele verden. Hans adgang til holdet er enestående, og han er den eneste engelsktalende journalist, der har interviewet Pep Guardiola i hans tid som Barcelonatræner.
Kåret som 'Årets bedste fodboldbog 2012' af Football Supporters Federation.

Bring up soccer, and most will think of Johan Cruyuff, the Dutch player thought to rival Pele in preternatural skill, and Ajax, one of the most influential soccer clubs in the world whose academy system for young athletes has been replicated around the globe (and most notably by Barcelona and the 2010 world champions, Spain). But as international bestselling author Simon Kuper writes in Ajax, The Dutch, The War: Soccer in Europe During the Second World War, the story of soccer in Holland cannot be understood without investigating what really occurred in this country during WWII. For decades, the Dutch have enjoyed the reputation of having a “good war.” The myth is even resonant in Israel where Ajax is celebrated. The fact is, the Jews suffered shocking persecution at the hands of Dutch collaborators. Holland had the second largest Nazi movement in Europe outside Germany, and in no other country except Poland was so high a percentage of Jews deported. Kuper challenges Holland’s historical amnesia and uses soccer—particularly the experience of Ajax, a club long supported by Amsterdam’s Jews—as a window on wartime Holland and Europe. Through interviews with Resistance fighters, survivors, wartime soccer players and more, Kuper uncovers this history that has been ignored, and also finds out why the Holocaust had a profound effect on soccer in the country. Ajax produced Cruyuff but was also built by members of the Dutch resistance and Holocaust survivors. It became a surrogate family for many who survived the war and its method for producing unparalleled talent became the envy of clubs around the world. In this passionate, haunting and moving work of forensic reporting, Kuper tells the breathtaking story of how Dutch Jews survived the unspeakable and came to play a strong role in the rise of the most exciting and revolutionary style of soccer — “Total Football” — the world had ever seen.

Dieses Buch richtet sich an Jugend- und Seniorentrainer, die erst relativ wenig Erfahrung im modernen Training und Wettspiel gesammelt haben.
In diesem Buch wird ausführlich das Umschalten von Abwehr auf Angriff, das Umschalten von Angriff auf Abwehr und der Konter abgehandelt (einschließlich extremes Angriffspressing).
Theoretische Grundlagen werden nur kurz abgehandelt, danach geht es sofort weiter mit elementaren Übungen (vom Torwart angefangen) bis zu Konterschulungen und Übungen für das Umschalten für die komplette Mannschaft.
Im Amateur- und Jugendbereich sieht man sehr häufig ein unstrukturiertes oder monotones Umschalten bei Ballverlust oder Ballgewinn. Hierdurch kommt es im Laufe der Saison zu unnötigen Punktverlusten. Dieses Buch zeigt nun wie einfach diese Defizite im Training mit einfachen Übungen beseitigt werden können.
Ausführlich wird auch auf extremes Angiffspressing eingegangen. Denn oft wird bei eigenen Ballverlusten im Bereich des gegnerischen Strafraums falsch agiert. Bei einem geschulten Pressing der gesamten Mannschaft kann in dieser Situation oft der Ball zurückerobert und mit einem Torerfolg beendet werden.

Although the Preston lads were often lacking in big numbers, they were always prepared to stand their ground and have a go, knowing that it was quality, not quantity that would count when standing toe to toe with their rivals. In this brutally honest book, staunch PNE fan Bill Routledge recalls the days when the dawn of Saturdays signaled a rush of adrenalin and a wave of anticipation; a time for the lads to put aside the worries of the working week and experience the buzz of mayhem on the terraces. He describes a time when music and fashion were vital to the identity of the firms, as well as examining the history of violence at Preston North End, the roots of the different factions and how they got their names. Together with other faces from the PNE firms, he details hair-raising tales of violent clashes with other mobs, as well as the fans' misdemeanors on foreign soil. This fascinating insight into life on the frontline is as shocking as it is exciting—but it's not short of laughs either. It is a truthful account of the highs and lows of being a devoted, passionate football fan waiting for glory.

È l’esplorazione di un mondo che gli amanti del calcio non conoscono, vale a dire la storia vera di questo sport, il suo fascino mondiale, la sua universalità, le sue radici, le sue trasformazioni, il suo potere, i suoi limiti, le sue leggi, la sua naturale bellezza, i suoi inganni, le sue sofferenze, le sue tragedie, i suoi trionfi.
Le pagine coinvolgono illustri protagonisti del gioco, da Kopa a Di Stéfano, da Puskás a Cruijff, da Maradona a Pelé ma anche da Camus a Montesquieu, a Pascal, abbracciando l’agone e la cultura, il letterato e il tifoso, il mondo che gioca e ha giocato con una palla e il suo mistero.
È un’opera di studio e di scoperta, non un semplice racconto di cose di football.
Ne risulta l'amore assoluto che Michel Platini ha per il pallone che è cosa assai differente dal calcio, un rapporto infantile, genuino, immediato, puro, che, tuttavia, deve fare i conti con una realtà aspra, quella del denaro facile, dei nuovi poteri che, comunque, non violenteranno mai lo spirito originario di questo sport unico.
Il viaggio è lungo ma veloce e rapido. La storia del calcio non si conclude con l’ultima pagina, l’ultima parola. Si ferma lo spazio di un pensiero. E continua. Come la storia di Michel Platini.” Dalla presentazione di Tony Damascelli",,0.0,$14.99,288 Pages,Italian,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/parliamo-di-calcio/id924487128?mt=11

848368149,Joe Fagan: Reluctant Champion,Andrew Fagan & Mark Platt,Aurum Press Ltd,"Aug 16, 2012",Quayside Publishing Group,The Authorised Biography,"On May 30, 1984 Joe Fagan made football history. He became the first English manager to win the Treble. After just one season as coach he had led Liverpool to victory in the League Cup, the League Championship and finally the European Cup, beating AS Roma on home soil after a gripping penalty shootout. It was an unprecedented triumph, the culmination of a twenty-five year career at the very heart of the Liverpool machine, and the end of a golden age. Unassuming, down-to-earth, and never one to court publicity, little is known about Joe Fagan: a man who played a pivotal part in Liverpool’s domination of the game in the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties, but whose achievements were later obscured by disaster. A Scouser born and bred, he joined the Anfield coaching staff in 1958, after a playing career at Manchester City and years learning his craft in the lower leagues. At the time Liverpool were in the stranglehold of Second Division mediocrity – but then, a year later, Bill Shankly arrived, and everything changed. With a knack for nurturing the talents of precocious youngsters, Fagan quickly became part of Shankly’s trusted inner circle. Indeed, not only was Fagan one of the original members of the fabled Boot Room, he is widely credited with its creation. Under Bob Paisley Fagan was appointed second-in-command. So when Paisley stepped down, the reluctant Fagan was the obvious and only choice to succeed him – and what followed surpassed the dreams of even the most success-spoilt Kopites. However, just one year after Liverpool’s European triumph in Rome, the death of 39 fans at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels saw the club’s glittering record tarnished by tragedy, and English football exiled from Europe. Fagan announced his retirement just hours later – and stepped back into the anonymity he craved. Now, drawing for the first time on Joe Fagan’s own diaries, as well as a raft of new interviews with players, colleagues and contemporaries, this biography celebrates the record of one of football’s least celebrated greats, and reveals the inner workings of Liverpool’s golden age.",,0.0,$9.99,352 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/joe-fagan-reluctant-champion/id848368149?mt=11

908995284,Danny is Different,Tedi Tuttle Wixom,EBooks2go,"Aug 13, 2014",eBooks2go Inc,,"Danny Is Different, a Children’s illustrated story, is about a little green snake that is born with special needs. His parents who are upper class snobbish snakes living a fast-paced life in the city, are afraid of what the neighbors may think if they take their son out in public because he is handicapped. Mrs. Slither wonders if she should allow one of their country kinfolk to adopt him so that she and her husband don’t have to deal with a son who is physically disabled. But she changes her mind when her newborn snake son says, “I love you.” Fatherhood becomes the richer due to the fact that Mr. Slither has stayed overlong at work before his son’s birth, and Mrs. Slither’s social status may have to be compromised—the couple have to deal with this issue and therefore they are forced to spend more time at home as a family.
This book is about fatherhood, motherhood, and growing up to accept the role of being parents. It focuses on what it means to love a child with special needs and learning that perhaps their son’s handicap can be an asset. This story displays a mother and a father accepting a baby who has special needs; it concentrates on family relationships, peer pressure, uncomfortable social settings, and social norms. It tackles bullying and how to overcome that, even when being mocked in social settings or causing awkward situations for upper-class snob snakes. Danny Is Different centers around being unique and accepting others who may appear physically different. This text covers gossip and overcoming prejudices, at home, in the family, and in the community.
Danny doesn’t realize he is handicapped and he continues what he does best, he becomes a soccer player and learns to play with the kids (cats and dogs) on the other side of town who honor him and aspire to be like him, because he is a World Cup-type soccer player. How can that be? The city neighbors are never clued in to Danny’s special needs until one day when their neighbor Cindy Snooty spies on them and realizes that Danny is different. She can’t wait to spread the gossip. Danny’s parents are shocked when the city councilman, Jeremy Flake stops by to investigate the claims that Danny is malformed. He informs Mr. and Mrs. Slither, that the community can’t have this type of person living in their neighborhood.
What happens to the family? Are they railroaded out of town? Does justice triumph or prejudiced neighbors win out?",,0.0,$0.99,34 Pages,English,Education,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/danny-is-different/id908995284?mt=11

Se l’Inter non è mai stata in serie B, è tutto merito dei suoi uomini valorosi che nel corso degli anni hanno difeso, con la testa e con i piedi, la sua gloriosa storia. Si va dagli albori, in piena guerra, con personaggi quali Ermanno Aebi e Virgilio Fossati, al tempo di Giuseppe Meazza, Benito Lorenzi, István Nyers e Lennart Skoglund. Negli anni Sessanta la Beneamata può vantarsi di essere veramente “grande” grazie alle sapienti cure del “Mago” Helenio Herrera, che ha portato alla ribalta calciatori del calibro di Mario Corso, Sandro Mazzola, Giacinto Facchetti, Luis Suárez, Armando Picchi e Tarcisio Burgnich. La “Grande Inter” sale così sui tetti più alti d’Italia, d’Europa e del mondo, e non c’è avversario che riesca a contrastare il suo dominio. Finita l’epoca del presidente Angelo Moratti, iniziano i brevi regni di Fraizzoli e Pellegrini. Nascono i vari Evaristo Beccalossi, Alessandro Altobelli, Gabriele Oriali e Nicola Berti, tutti giocatori italiani in una squadra che da sempre è stata definita cosmopolita. A Giovanni Trapattoni spetta il compito di rilanciare l’Inter dei record nel campionato 1988-1989 con Giuseppe Bergomi, Lothar Matthäus, Aldo Serena e Andreas Brehme; mentre José Mourinho ha l’onore di regalare a Massimo Moratti il Triplete.

Born in 1989, Bale first attracted the attention of Southampton FC at the age of just nine. In school, he was such a prodigious talent that his PE teacher, Gwyn Morris, had to impose special restrictions on him to make it fair for the other pupils—these included playing one-touch football and not using his left foot. In April of 2008, Bale became the second-youngest player ever to sign for Southampton. Despite playing at left-back he scored five goals and was extremely impressive in his first season. The Premier League soon came calling and in 2007 Bale signed a four-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur. His career at White Hart Lane didn't get off to the best start, as he played in a record 24 games without a win, but in late 2009 he seized his chance to secure a regular place in the first team and since then he had proved to be a top-class footballer with a stunning hat-trick in Tottenham's Europa League tie against Inter Milan at the San Siro and a man-of-the-match performance in the return leg. Bale has unsurprisingly also made several appearances for Wales, and his talent has been compared to that of the legendary Ryan Giggs.""",,0.0,$15.99,276 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/gareth-bale/id534560708?mt=11

506186139,Kinkladze The Perfect 10,David Clayton,Instinctive Product Development,"Feb 24, 2012","LibreDigital, Inc.",,"FOR MANY MANCHESTER CITY FANS, Gio Kinkladze - 'Kinky' - was the greatest player to ever wear the famous sky blue jersey. The Georgian midfielder arrived in 1995 under the tutelage of Alan Ball for #2 million, arguably the best money the club ever spent, and within a few games had the City fans eating out of the palm of his hand with a series of breathtaking displays. Despite his wonderful skills, he couldn't single-handedly stop the Blues from being relegated at the end of his first season, by which time he was perhaps the most coveted player in Europe and had the pick of some of the biggest clubs in world football. Yet, instead of jumping ship, he opted to sign a new deal and set about trying to help his beloved Blues back into the Premiership whilst subjecting himself to two, sometimes three markers all with the simple mandate: stop Kinkladze by any means possible. Often hacked and bullied by seasoned opponents, he came back for more and played under a succession of managers in a poor team.It seemed almost cruel that fan power convinced him to remain with the club for one more season when he should have been displaying his mesmeric talents in La Liga or Serie A, and by the end of his third season with City, his career had stalled as the club were relegated again, this time to Division Two. Kinky's days at Maine Road were numbered from the minute Joe Royle arrived as manager, with the new boss determined to offload a player he felt the club and fans had an unhealthy obsession with. The funds of his [pound]5.5 million sale to Ajax helped keep the Blues afloat and able to rebuild and return stronger, while Kinky's largely disastrous time in Holland further hindered his progress. He returned to England with struggling Derby County and, after wooing the Rams faithful, took a chance on finding a new club in 2003. Trials at Portsmouth, Bolton and Leeds resulted in nothing and he was forced to look to the club he began with, Dynamo Tblisi, to do what he does best, play football.

What he lacked in natural ability as a footballer, he made up for in raw passion and commitment to the cause.
He started his football education under the greatest – Sir Alex Ferguson – at his beloved Manchester United. After a headline-making loan spell in Belgium, he embarked on an eventful career journey, taking in stops at high-flying Derby County, Southampton, Sunderland and Stoke City.
Sharing Premier League dressing rooms and pitches with some big names, he experienced both sides of the game – from the gut-wrenching agony of relegation to the ecstasy of famous victories that defied the odds.
Along the way, he worked under charismatic bosses like Jim Smith, Harry Redknapp and Roy Keane – who delivered the most bizarre team talk he’s ever heard. At Stoke, he learned about the team-bonding tricks of Tony Pulis.
It was Pulis who recognised Higginbotham’s leadership potential and gave him the armband. Backed by the formidable passion of the fans, Higgy epitomised the never-say-die spirit that made the Britannia Stadium a formidable – and occasionally controversial – place to visit.
With the ultimate prize in sight, little did he know that his finest moment in the game would immediately be followed by his worst – spelling the end of his love affair with playing football.
As honest and whole-hearted as his career on the pitch, ‘Rise Of The Underdog’ is the entertaining inside story of how an ordinary lad worked his way up the professional ladder, learning the lessons it takes to survive at the highest level of the English game.",,0.0,$8.99,288 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/danny-higginbotham-rise-underdog/id981095081?mt=11

858789262,Danish Dynamite,Rob Smyth and Others,Bloomsbury,"Apr 24, 2014",INscribe Digital,The Story of Football†™s Greatest Cult Team,"The Denmark side of the 1980s was one of the last truly iconic international football teams. Although they did not win a trophy, they claimed something much more important and enduring: glory, and in industrial quantities. They were a bewitching fusion of futuristic attacking football, effortless Scandinavian cool and laid-back living. They played like angels and lived like you and I, and they were everyone's second team in the mid-1980s. The story of Danish Dynamite, as the team became known, is the story of a team of rock stars in a polyester Hummel kit. Heralding from a country with no real football history to speak of and a population of five million, this humble and likeable team was unique. Everymen off the field and superheroes on it, they were totally of their time, and their approach to the game was in complete contrast to the gaudy excess and charmless arrogance of today's football stars. That they ultimately imploded in spectacular style, with a shocking 5-1 defeat to Spain in the 1986 World Cup in a game that almost everyone expected them to win, only adds to their legend. For the first time in Emglish, Danish Dynamite tells the story of perhaps the coolest team in football history, a team that had it all and blew it in spectacular style after a live-fast-die-young World Cup campaign. Featuring interviews with the players themselves, including Michael Laudrup, Preben ElkjÁ¦r and Jesper Olsen, as well as with those who played or managed against them, this is a joyous celebration of one of the most life-affirming teams the world has ever seen.",,0.0,$16.99,256 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/danish-dynamite/id858789262?mt=11

About the author
Allan was born in Suffolk in June 1974 and raised in Harleston on the Norfolk / Suffolk border. It was a time when Bobby Robson's Ipswich was becoming one the nation's leading sides and his footballing loyalities could easily have fallen either way. A school visit in the spring of 1982 from Norwich Manager, Ken Brown and striker Ross Jack was soon followed by Allan's first game at Carrow Road, a memorable 4-2 win over Watford side featuring a young John Barnes. The win kick started a late and unlikely surge to promotion and Allan was hooked. Like many Norwich fans, Allan has experienced highs such as the UEFA cup adventure, the win in front of the last standing kop at Liverpool and the play off semi-final victory over Wolves. He has also suffered lows that come with supporting your team, with the 1992 FA Cup semi-final defeat and of course the 1-7 home defeat to Colchester coming to mind. Allan is a qualified accountant whose passion lies in football. He has coached at soccer schools in the USA and played regularly until injury ended his playing days, but also gave him an opportunity to start writing. He currently lives in Bristol with his wife Libby and despite the long distances still gets to see Norwich City play as much as he can.",,0.0,$6.99,256 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/hall-fame-norwich-citys-all/id572842914?mt=11

This book follows the fortunes of Manchester United from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. It is the story of how a pre-war giant fell asleep and very nearly did not wake up again. It is the story of record highs and record lows, of protests, punch-ups and revolts, of heroes, villains, wizards and saviours, of great escapes and even greater cock-ups, of joy and pain, tragedy and despair. Amazingly, it is a story that has never properly been told before. Hopefully, it has been now. 'Back from the Brink' chronicles the departure of the father of Manchester United, John Henry Davies and the arrival of its saviour and inspiration James Gibson. The debt modern United fans owe these two men cannot be underestimated. Had it not been for Davies there would be no Manchester United -- when Newton Heath were bankrupted in 1902 he changed the name of the club, found them a new stadium and injected the style and panache now associated with the club throughout the football world. As for Gibson, he took a floundering club playing before dwindling support and introduced such notions as corporate hospitality, the tracksuit manager and a youth system as early as 1931. Thus Gibson paved the way for Busby and Ferguson -- yet this tale concentrates on an era before glory and Manchester United became inextricably linked. As United fans approach another era of uncertainty regarding their club, Back from the Brink is the first proper examination of a period during which the club won nothing but laid the groundwork for the clubs post-war success.",,0.0,$4.99,679 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/back-from-the-brink/id615783500?mt=11

A top-scoring striker with Paris Saint-Germain and captain of the Swedish national team, he has dominated the world’s most storied teams, including Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, and AC Milan. But his life wasn’t always so charmed. Born to Balkan immigrants who divorced when he was a toddler, Zlatan learned self-reliance from his rough-and-tumble neighborhood. While his father, a Bosnian Muslim, drank to forget the war back home, his mother’s household was engulfed in chaos. Soccer was Zlatan’s release. Mixing in street moves and trick plays, Zlatan was a wild talent who rode to practice on stolen bikes and relished showing up the rich kids—opponents and teammates alike. Goal by astonishing goal, the brash young outsider grew into an unlikely prodigy and, by his early twenties, an international phenomenon. Told as only the man himself could tell it, featuring stories of friendships and feuds with the biggest names in the sport, I Am Zlatan is a wrenching, uproarious, and ultimately redemptive tale for underdogs everywhere.Praise for I Am Zlatan“Terrific . . . Far more insightful than your typical jock memoir, Ibra’s book tells his story of growing up as the son of immigrants in Sweden and pulls no punches when it comes to his opinions of some of the biggest names in the game.”—Sports Illustrated“The most compelling autobiography ever to appear under a footballer’s name.”—The Guardian “The story of Zlatan—from his days as an immigrant kid juggling a soccer ball so he won’t get bullied to his emergence as the genius player who scored the greatest goal ever—is as compelling and fancy-footed as his game.”—Aleksandar Hemon, National Book Award finalist and author of The Lazarus Project“I love this book. I love it because it’s so much bigger than soccer. I Am Zlatan is a story of hope and grit and what an immigrant kid who comes from nothing can accomplish with hard work and belief in himself. It’s also a beautiful window into our new, more open, more diverse world.”—Marcus Samuelsson, bestselling author of Yes, Chef “Probably the bestselling European immigrant’s tale since Zadie Smith’s White Teeth . . . Once you get past the obligatory snigger prompted by the phrase ‘footballer’s autobiography,’ you can see that Zlatan’s book strangely resembles an earlier immigrant’s tale: Portnoy’s Complaint.”—Financial Times“He is skillful.

La chiave narrativa proposta in Fan 31 è dunque trasversale: i fatti sportivi si intrecciano indissolubilmente con la vita e viceversa.""Fan 31"" racconta vere esperienze di tifo nelle quali diversi supporter bianconeri si potranno riconoscere. Per questa ragione, oltre a un diario sui generis dell’ultima stagione bianconera, rappresenta un prezioso manuale “senza tempo” del vero tifoso, juventino.",,0.0,$4.99,93 Pages,Italian,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/fan-31-31-partite-della-juve/id655299013?mt=11

426130185,Hall of Fame,Bob MacCallum,Derby Books Publishing Company Ltd,"Mar 14, 2011",Derby Books Publishing Company Limited,Rangers All-Time Greats,"A sporting Hall of Fame is a rather American institution but Rangers became one of the first football clubs (if not the first one) in Britain to set up its own Hall of Fame to honour the greatest figures from its past. The club’s owner, Sir David Murray, established the Hall of Fame in 2000 as a way of commemorating the achievements of the most celebrated players in the history of Rangers. Since 1873, world-class footballers and great characters have been a hallmark of the club and have helped to make it the world’s most successful club with a record 51 League championships. Despite the fact that great players come and go, the club goes on. The Hall of Fame currently has 71 members ranging from one of the club’s founders, Moses McNeil (1873-82) to captain Barry Ferguson (1996 – the present) Their names are picked out in gold on a panel given pride of place above the famed marble staircase inside the entrance to Ibrox Stadium. The initial list that contained players from the earliest days of the club was compiled by a committee but in recent years the Rangers fans themselves get a chance to vote new players into the Hall of Fame, choosing from nominees submitted by the original committee of Sir David Murray, Gers’ legends and current employees, John Greig and Sandy Jardine, present Assistant Manager and record Rangers goal-scorer, Ally McCoist and club historian, David Mason. Three players, from decades spanning the 1950s until the present day, are elected every March and presented with their award at a star-studded ceremony where former players team up once more and reminisce about what it was like to play for the greatest club in the world.
This book gives a pen portrait of every player elected to the Rangers’ Hall of Fame but also gives an overview of the era in which they played as well as a description of the career of the Gers manager who signed them for the club. Hopefully, this book will remind fans of truly great Rangers who gave such pleasure to millions by their skill, courage, determination and loyalty to the club. As former legend Sammy Cox said, after flying in specially from Canada where he has lived for over 50 years, when he was presented with his award, 'Once a bluenose, always a bluenose.'",,0.0,$9.99,224 Pages,English,Football,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/hall-of-fame/id426130185?mt=11

Ltd,"Sep 23, 2015","Black Inc., an imprint of Schwartz Media Pty Ltd",The Inside Story of the Tumultuous First Decade,"In November 2004, shopping centre billionaire Frank Lowy walked into a packed media conference and announced the creation of a new professional football league. Armed with $15 million of government funds, Lowy was about to wake the sleeping giant of Australian sport. The A-League kicked off in 2005.
Over the competition’s first decade it has seen more than its fair share of drama, on and off the field. International superstars have come to play, eccentric billionaires have bought and sold franchises, and clubs have folded after haemorrhaging millions of dollars. Yet the football has been passionate and captivating, and attendances and television audiences have grown as Australians have embraced the game as never before.
Relying on unprecedented access to key figures in the code, John Stensholt and Shaun Mooney reveal the true story behind the A-League’s first ten years: the egos, the power plays and the rows between some of Australia’s richest men as they try to make the world game Australia’s favourite sport.
‘Money, power, ego and ambition. Throw in the odd football match and you have the story of the A-League – from forgotten game to unforgettable glory.’—Francis Leach, ABC
‘Once I started, I couldn’t put it down. A wonderful and riveting insight into the first decade of the A-League.’—Ray Gatt, the Australian
‘There’s enough in this for a 20-year period, such has been the last decade in Australian club football. Entertaining, informative, this covers it all – the good, the bad, the ugly.’—Adam Peacock, Fox Sports

DBA Independent Publishers Group",The Biography of Mancester United's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer,"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is an Old Trafford legend. After three injury-ravaged years, he blazed back to reignite his career and that of his club, Manchester United. His fantastic goals have thrown out a challenge to the Abramovich empire which had emerged in his absence and risen to dominate the Premiership, challenging Man United's position as the world's greatest club. Famous for his youthful looks and uncanny ability to score in the dying minutes of important games, often coming on as a 'super-sub', he's one of football's most cerebral and naturally gifted strikers. His last-gasp winner in injury time against Barcelona in 1999's Champions League final helped secure the crowning glory of Man Utd's glorious Treble. Plagued by a knee injury, Solskjaer has nonetheless earned sixty caps for Norway, and continues to put them away to deadly effect for his club, who never tire of singing 'You Are My Solskjaer' whether he's on the pitch or not. And he's committed his future to Old Trafford with the prospect of coaching duties after 2008, where his knowledge of the game, skill and attitude can continue to benefit his adopted home. In this informative and insightful book, sports writer Ian MacLeay charts the highs and lows of The Baby Faced Assassin's career to provide an in-depth look at both the man and the striker who looks set to go down in history alongside Denis Law and Jimmy Greaves.

It became one of the most notorious soccer gangs in Britain.Mark Chester was a founder member of the N40. Already a hardened fighter, he had been expelled from school after an unsettled childhood and joined the Staffordshire Regiment, only to be discharged for misconduct. Stoke City's emerging 'casual' mob became his family. 'Right or wrong, I was ready to be a committed football hooligan,' he says.He recounts tales of raucous coach trips from the Glebe pub and the pivotal clashes with the likes of Everton, Manchester United and West Ham that defined the new firm. Formidable characters came to the forefront, men like the giant Mark Bentley, Philler the Beast and the legendary Miffer, while hair-raising clashes with the likes of Millwall, Spurs, Aston Villa and Manchester City saw the gang's reputation spread.The N40 code was simple: whatever the odds, they would always make a stand. Many times they fought when heavily outnumbered yet often came out on top. They developed a closeness and cohesion rare among the football gangs. Loyalty was their watchword.Soon they were joined by the Under-Fives, a younger element determined to win acceptance from the terrace legends they admired and who carved out their own niche as well as fighting side by side with the old-school heads.
Police operations, bans from the ground and the introduction of ID schemes have prevented many from attending games, but the author, long 'retired' from the scene, argues that in the new millennium the gangs are back - and as ferocious as ever. NAUGHTY is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the illicit but seductive lure of terrace combat, the emotional ties of a gang and the addictive buzz of Saturday afternoons.",,0.0,$2.99,382 Pages,English,Soccer,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/naughty/id432484171?mt=11

Clive Charles was born in Canning Town, just a few miles from the Hammers' Upton Park home; Ade Coker came to London from Nigeria; and Clyde Best had made his way to London's Docklands from Bermuda. All went on to great success in the United States. After being named by Pelé in the all-time greatest NASL team, Charles managed the leading College side Portland Timbers, guided the American Women to World Cup glory, and achieved historic results in Olympic competition with the U.S. Under-23s. Best grew to be a legend in the NASL, and along with Charles, was one of only four former West Ham players to manage at international level when he took over the Bermudan national side. Coker was another leading light in the modern game and represented the U.S. at international level, overcoming devastating injury. Painstakingly researched, with a foreword and interview with entertainer Kenny Lynch on the nature of support in the 1970s from a black perspective, this book tells the story of three young black men who changed sports history.

Written by Johnny Maynell, the book tells you everything you need to know about the club right up to the end of season 2010-2011.
For the purposes of the electronic version, the editorial sections of the book have been broken down into three distinct sections so that the reader can pick and choose the individual part of the book that most attracts their interest. These three sections are:
1 - The History (including History of the Grounds)
2 - The Players and Managers
3 - The Matches to Remember
The book also includes 400 pages of statistics, with every team line up, result, attendance and scorers. However the limitations of the current e-book readers means that these cannot be recreated electronically. If you want to see this information then unfortunately it is only available in the hardback format.
Each of the three e-books include the Forewords and the Introduction from the author from the original publication.
Halifax Town was formed in 1911 following a letter by E.A. Jones which appeared in the pages of the Halifax Courier and two subsequent public meetings at the now long since defunct Saddle Hotel. The intention was to build up the club and take it to the higher echelons of the Football League. Instead, the club found itself floundering for much of the time amid poor attendances, poor results and dire financial straits. Some folk might argue the club was not worth the bother. But for those who embraced it over the years, they could not – or would not – live without it.
Over the years Halifax Town have written themselves into the record books, though not always for the right reasons. The supporters have suffered more than most, for if the yearly struggles were not hard enough to take, then what of the club’s liquidation in 2008? Major successes over 97 years could be counted on two fingers – promotion in 1969 and the Conference title in 1998 – though the back-to-back promotions the reformed club has achieved under Neil Aspin must not be overlooked.

As he writes in Dances with Trout, “Fly-fishing is solitary, contemplative, misanthropic, scientific in some hands, poetic in others, and laced with conflicting aesthetic considerations. It’s not even clear if catching fish is actually the point.”",4.45454,4.5,$9.99,208 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/dances-with-trout/id381490240?mt=11

The large number of drivers in the F1 history is surprising. In total, more than 800 drivers have participated in the F1 race weekends. We all remember the champions, but they would not exist without the other participants.
Many of the drivers´ quotes have become classics and they symbolize the characteristics of the drivers. Michael Schumacher, Bruce McLaren and Ayrton Senna provide us with brilliant quotes related to the sport. On the other hand, some of the not so well-known drivers such as Johnnie Parsons, Hernando da Silva Ramos and Brian Redman, have been able to express their thoughts amazingly well.

717285094,Terror in the Trees,Backpacker Magazine,AIM Media,"Sep 30, 2013",Active Interest Media,Haunted Trails and Chilling Tales from the pages of Backpacker Magazine,"A rustle of branches. A snapped twig. An ominous howl, too close for comfort. In the inky darkness of the backcountry, even the smallest noise can get your mind racing. It’s nothing, you tell yourself at first, nothing to be afraid of. Nevertheless, you start to sweat a little. Your heartbeat quickens. Your fingers inch toward your headlamp. You try not to utter a single sound as you lie awake in your sleeping bag, waiting for the unseen horror to reveal itself. If you’re like us, these phantoms have cost you hours of sleep over the years.
Ghost stories are a vital part of hiking culture. Around the glow of the campfire, we dole out morsels of terror in order to thrill our companions and scare our kids. All in good fun, sure. But spooky stories also force us to confront some of our most primal fears. Death. Loss. Evil. Isolation. The supernatural. The unexplainable. The wilderness has a way of letting our imaginations run wild; from vicious murderers to grotesque creatures to malevolent spirits, there’s no limit to the amount of terrifying ghouls and worst-case scenarios our brains can conjure. These stories invoke our dread of the unknown, then dare us to overcome it.
Our pseudonymous storyteller “Neville Franks” plays on these nightmarish anxieties masterfully in “The Lost Boy of the Ozarks,” an unnerving ghost story set in the sinister Missouri woods. Meanwhile, reporter Steve Friedman will make your blood run cold with his account of unsolved murder in “Terror in the Trees.” And if those two yarns don’t frighten you off, you can read our list of “America’s Scariest Trails,” a rundown of the country’s eeriest settings and unexplained phenomena. From gusts of wind that push unsuspecting visitors over the falls at Yosemite, to the unquiet graves of the Grand Canyon, to the cannibalistic Wendigo of northern Minnesota, we wouldn’t blame you if you swore off solo hiking for a while. Of course, brave souls can always use BACKPACKER’s trail beta to go and judge these spooky spots for themselves.

Research will help the decision but even then you will probably be detecting a very large area of land with a pitifully small search head. Conventional wisdom says that you would have to cover every square inch of a site with a metal detector to be sure of finding all treasure within detection range. This takes a lot of time. Now and again sites are available long enough to be able to complete a thorough search but in most cases they are not. The plough comes along, turns the ground over and you are back to square one! Or the tide comes in, turns the beach over and you are back to square one!But how do you put the search head in the right place?Savvy treasure hunters know that there are natural attractive forces anyone can tap into that will drive you and your metal detector to where treasure lies buried. The basically free technology you can use to exploit these attractive forces is given several names but most commonly it is called dowsing. Once you add dowsing to your treasure hunting arsenal you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it. As you quickly learn to apply the technology discussed in this manual, your finds rate will rapidly increase beyond recognition...Faithful Attraction: How to Drive Your Metal Detector to Find TreasureWith over 40 years experience in metal detecting and treasure hunting, the author, David Villanueva, recognized the problem many years ago. Most of the time there is only a small window of opportunity in which to recover treasure. To be consistently successful you need to get in there fast, dig the treasure up and move on to the next site. Rinse and repeat! More than 20 years ago, David discovered part of the answer, when he met British dowser and treasure hunter Jim Longton. Since then practice in the field and exchanges with other successful treasure hunters have resulted in refined technology to the point that David is regularly finding treasure. This book shows you clearly and concisely how, for almost no cost, you too can easily develop your own faithful attraction to treasure.Contents include:1. Introduction2. How Does Dowsing Work3.

This course on environmental disease and injuries includes sections on venomous snake bites, spider bites, insect stings and bites, anaphylactic shock, poisonous marine animals, and hepatitis. The identification of types of snake bites and types of venoms is the main concern of the section on snakes. The spiders that are identified can be as lethal as some types of snakes, but many of the insects are not. These insects are included because they are medically important, in terms of pain and the possibility of an allergic reaction. Many people can show an allergy that will progress to anaphylactic shock. Some types of marine life can emit a poison that is more lethal than that of any snake.
The lesson on hepatitis identifies the various types of this disease. The routes of person to person transmission, and disease precautions, will be of special interest.

Along the route, he offers a lyrical and ceaselessly fascinating shipboard perspective on the country's rivers, lakes, canals, and towns. Brimming with history, drama, humor, and wisdom, RIVER-HORSE belongs in the pantheon of American travel literature. In his most ambitious journey ever, Heat-Moon sets off aboard a small boat he named Nikawa (""river horse"" in Osage) from the Atlantic at New York Harbor in hopes of entering the Pacific near Astoria, Oregon. He and his companion, Pilotis, struggle to cover some five thousand watery miles -- more than any other cross-country river traveler has ever managed -- often following in the wakes of our most famous explorers, from Henry Hudson to Lewis and Clark. En route, the voyagers confront massive floods, submerged rocks, dangerous weather, and their own doubts about whether they can complete the trip. But the hard days yield up incomparable pleasures: strangers generous with help and eccentric tales, landscapes unchanged since Sacagawea saw them, riverscapes flowing with a lively past, and the growing belief that efforts to protect our lands and waters are beginning to pay off. And, throughout its course, the expedition enjoys coincidences so breathtaking as to suggest the intervention of a divine and witty Providence. Teeming with humanity and high adventure, Heat-Moon's account is an unsentimental and original arteriogram of our nation at the edge of the millennium.

But how many of us can afford such a spread without a crippling mortgage? If you can't make the hefty payments on your survival retreat, the bankers will evict you, leaving you worse off than those who failed to prepare in the first place. M.D. Creekmore's motivation for finding a low-cost retreat was the need to live on a lot less money after he lost his job and got divorced. He started living in a travel trailer, parked on two acres he'd bought a few years back to use as a campsite and bug-out location, never dreaming he'd be living there full time. But he has called his trailer home for the past four years and says that ""for the first time in my life, I'm actually content."" Living off the grid in a travel trailer isn't for everyone. But if you are looking for a way to own a debt-free home—and enjoy the security that comes with it—here's the author's dirt-cheap plan for finding suitable land; buying a used trailer; securing it against the elements and intruders; providing alternative power sources; dealing with water and waste issues; maximizing your space; and establishing a workable storage system for food, water, medicine, tools, and other equipment.

424496424,Exploring the Other Island, & John Turner,Harbor Electronic Publishing,"Feb 21, 2011",UNET 2 Corporation,A Seasonal Guide to Nature on Long Island,"“A singularly effective guide. Inspired concept. Highly recommended!” George Plimpton noted on the first edition of John Turner’s classic guide to the natural world of Long Island.
Now Turner, one of New York’s most knowledgeable and eloquent naturalists, has produced a new edition, greatly expanded and thoroughly updated.
With more than 80 photos by leading nature photographers and 24 line drawings by artist Maria T. Hoffman, the new edition offers a rich experience of the “Other” Long Island—the one far removed from the malls and highways, developments and office parks. It’s remarkable that so much of the natural world remains to explore in this limited space that is also home to nearly eight million people (as well the native fauna Turner so affectionately describes).
Turner discusses nearly 300 species of flora and fauna that call Long Island home—an abundance that is due in no small part to the island’s unusually varied ecology.
Exploring the Other Island offers 41 chapters and 14 additional essays divided by season. But it is also truly a guidebook. Each section concludes with notes on Where to see what has been discussed, and When. The Index of Species is a valuable reference. The Index of Locations lists a remarkable 116 local, county, state, and national parks and other destinations. If you find yourself, for example, in Caumsett State Park just turn to the Locations Index to discover what to look for. There are also four appendixes to guide you to further study.

Less known, however, is how vital these canines are to fishermen. For many anglers, packing your tackle and wading through the river without a trusted fishing dog is a recipe for disaster.In Fishing Dogs, Raymond Coppinger sheds light on the true value of fishing dogs of every size, shape, and color. Monsoon dogs, for example, lay in the bilge of boats until they are disturbed by the shipping of water. At that point, they rise up out of the bilge and unleash with tremendous power a series of epicentric rotational reciprocations, thus expelling inches of boat-threatening water. Coppinger also introduces readers to the Maine bowplunk dog, which received its name from its deeply ingrained habit of standing, proud and brave, on the bow of his master’s boat as it moves through the choppy waters off Maine’s coast.As a biologist, distinguished fisherman, and a known storyteller and fan of satire, Coppinger is more than qualified to discuss the various breeds of fishing dogs, in addition to topics as the evolution of dogs from wolves, the dangers of crossbreeding, and finding a fisherman’s perfect fishing dog.",,0.0,$13.99,128 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/fishing-dogs/id683950447?mt=11

837662299,Cold Burial,Clive Powell-Williams,St. Martin's Press,"Apr 29, 2014","Macmillan / Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC",A True Story of Endurance and Disaster,"For schoolboys in the 1920s, too young to have experienced first-hand the horrors of World War One, theirs was yet the age of adventure. Their imaginations fired by the exploits of Robert Scott, T. E. Lawrence, Ernest Shackleton, and George Mallory, and by the novels of John Buchan and Jack London, they dreamed of exploring and conquering new frontiers. Lawrence had retreated from public life, and Scott, Shackleton, and Mallory were by then all dead, but their heroic feats remained the measure of British manhood, the standard to be carried forward.In the Spring of 1926, Edgar Christian, a young man of eighteen fresh out of public school, joined his dashing cousin, the legendary (if somewhat self-styled) adventurer Jack Hornby, and a friend named Harold Adlard on an expedition into the Barren Lands of the Canadian Northwest Territories. The plan was to hunt caribou and trap for fur. For young Edgar, the Barrens expedition offered a chance to prove himself and to find his direction in life; for Hornby, a veteran of the Great War as well previous forays into the Northwest (he was known in some quarters as ""Hornby of the North""), it represented his latest date with disaster. Together they would demonstrate that civilized men could survive, even thrive, in one of the world's most inhospitable regions. They were proved wrong.Based in large part upon a diary left behind by Edgar, discovered when his body and those of his companions were found two years after their deaths, Clive Powell-Williams' account of the expedition is a gripping narrative of innocence and experience, youthful idealism and unyielding nature. It matters little that we know in advance the tragic outcome, for in its unfolding Cold Burial recounts a tale of courage, folly, and ultimately redemptive love that will haunt readers long after they've read the last page.",,0.0,$7.99,250 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/cold-burial/id837662299?mt=11

By age twelve, he was stalking squirrels and cottontails, and it wasn't long before he'd mastered a tack-driving Remington 511 .22 with five-shot clip that thinned out the jackrabbits that swarmed southwest Kansas in the 1950s.
Later, he'd buy a Winchester Model 12 that opened up a whole new realm of wing shooting. It was a love affair that would continue through marriage, graduate school, and a distinguished career as a public school and university teacher-all the way until ""retirement.""

1045589946,Winter in the Wilderness,Dave Hall,Cornell University Press,"Sep 30, 2015",Cornell University Press,A Field Guide to Primitive Survival Skills,"Camping or backpacking in winter is appealing for many who enjoy the serenity of wilderness settings without the crowds and bustle of the summer season. But as rewarding as they can be, these outings require special preparation and a different set of skills than are necessary at other times of the year. Snowfall can quickly cover one’s tracks and make orientation difficult. Hypothermia is insidious, and rapidly changing weather conditions can become treacherous, even life-threatening.
In addition to those who are exploring the outdoors recreationally, there are also those who find themselves in unexpected winter survival situations. Each year, people become stranded in wilderness areas, and in most cases they are not equipped to face the challenge of spending an indefinite amount of time outside. Without sufficient gear or knowledge of how to improvise without it, injury or death is often the result. The development of some basic skills, however, can help avert such unfortunate outcomes.
As the founder of the renowned nature awareness program Primitive Pursuits, Dave Hall has been practicing survival skills for more than twenty years and has amassed a comprehensive understanding of winter survival. By refining these skills, Dave has reached a point of understanding that is without peer. Through detailed explanations, illustrations, and personal anecdotes, Winter in the Wilderness imparts Dave’s knowledge to readers, who will learn to meet their most basic needs: making fire, creating shelter, obtaining safe drinking water, navigating terrain, and procuring sustenance.
Winter in the Wilderness is a handbook for those who want to explore cold-weather camping and those who might find themselves in need of this critical information during an unexpected winter’s night out. Whether used for pleasure or for survival, Winter in the Wilderness emphasizes the benefits of enriching and deepening our connection with the outdoors.",,0.0,$13.99,288 Pages,English,Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/winter-in-the-wilderness/id1045589946?mt=11

994209414,Starting a Troop of The Boy Scouts,Farley Mishra,MobiPubber,"May 12, 2015",Todd Gilson,,"Suppose you should wake up Christmas morning and find yourself to be the owner of a bicycle. It is a brand-new wheel and everything is in perfect working order. The bearings are well oiled, the nickel is bright and shiny and it is all tuned up and ready for use. If you are a careful, sensible boy you can have fun with it for a long time until finally, like the “One Hoss Shay” in the poem, it wears out and goes to pieces all at once. On the other hand, if you are careless or indifferent or lazy you may allow the machine to get out of order or to become rusty from disuse, or perhaps when a nut works lose you neglect it and have a breakdown on the road, or you may forget to oil the bearings and in a short time they begin to squeak and wear. If you are another kind of a boy, you may be careful enough about oiling and cleaning the wheel, but you may also be reckless and head—strong and will jump over curbstones and gutters or ride it over rough roads at a dangerous rate of speed, and in this way shorten its life by abuse just as the careless boy may by neglect.
It is just so with the human body which, after all, is a machine too, and, more than that, it is the most wonderful and perfect machine in the world. With care it should last many years. With abuse or neglect it may very soon wear out. The boy who neglects his health is like the boy who allows the bearings on his wheel to become dry or the metal parts rusty. The chief difference is that when the bicycle wears out or breaks down we may replace the parts or even buy another machine, but when our health is injured, money will not restore it.",,0.0,$0.99,454 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/starting-troop-boy-scouts/id994209414?mt=11

660505841,Astoria,Peter Stark,Ecco,"Mar 04, 2014",HarperCollins,"John Jacob Astor and Thomas Jefferson's Lost Pacific Empire: A Story of Wealth, Ambition, and Survival","In 1810, John Jacob Astor sent out two advance parties to settle the wild, unclaimed western coast of North America. More than half of his men died violent deaths. The others survived starvation, madness, and greed to shape the destiny of a continent.At a time when the edge of American settlement barely reached beyond the Appalachian Mountains, two visionaries, President Thomas Jefferson and millionaire John Jacob Astor, foresaw that one day the Pacific would dominate world trade as much as the Atlantic did in their day. Just two years after the Lewis and Clark expedition concluded in 1806, Jefferson and Astor turned their sights westward once again. Thus began one of history's dramatic but largely forgotten turning points in the conquest of the North American continent.Astoria is the harrowing tale of the quest to settle a Jamestown-like colony on the Pacific coast. Astor set out to establish a global trade network based at the mouth of the Columbia River in what is now Oregon, while Jefferson envisioned a separate democracy on the western coast that would spread eastward to meet the young United States.Astor backed this ambitious enterprise with the vast for-tune he'd made in the fur trade and in New York real estate since arriving in the United States as a near-penniless immigrant soon after the Revolutionary War. He dispatched two groups of men west: one by sea around the southern tip of South America and one by land over the Rockies. The Overland Party, led by the gentlemanly American businessman Wilson Price Hunt, combined French-Canadian voyageurs, Scottish fur traders, American woodsmen, and an extraordinary Native American woman with two toddlers. The Seagoing Party, sailing aboard the ship Tonquin, likewise was a volatile microcosm of contemporary North America. Under the bitter eye of Captain Jonathan Thorn, a young U.S. naval hero whose unyielding, belligerent nature was better suited to battle than to negotiating cultural differences, the Tonquin made tumultuous progress toward its violent end.Unfolding from 1810 to 1813, Astoria is a tale of high adventure and incredible hardship, drawing extensively on firsthand accounts of those who made the journey. Though the colony itself would be short-lived, its founders opened provincial American eyes to the remarkable potential of the western coast, discovered the route that became the Oregon Trail, and permanently altered the nation's landscape and global standing.",4.25926,4.5,$9.99,400 Pages,English,History,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/astoria/id660505841?mt=11

You’re better off to watch, wait, and remain calm…letting it all happen, rather than trying to make it happen.” As the wry and perceptive essays in Another Lousy Day in Paradise prove, Gierach knows his writing as well as his fishing.Paradise, Gierach shows us, is relative; it can be found in the guilty luxury of fishing private waters or when one is soaked to the skin, in a small canoe on a big lake in a storm a hundred miles from anywhere, exhilarated after a day’s fishing. There are also pleasures to be found in unexpected places: solitary fishing trips, fishing for less-appreciated fish like carp, or meeting a guide who at first seems like an inarticulate ax murderer but who proves to be a “Zen master among fishing guides.” The point is to let things unfold as they will—because after all, says Gierach, “Basically, the world is a big, dumb trout, and you’re a fisherman with all the time in the world.” As Gierach fans know, this is a description of paradise.",5.0,5.0,$13.99,240 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/another-lousy-day-in-paradise/id381487096?mt=11

* Climbing etiquette you won’t learn at the gym but need to know
* Advice from “Rock Maestros” Justen Sjong, Kevin Jorgeson, Tommy Caldwell, Robyn Ebersfeld and experts at the Access Fund, Black Diamond, Leave No Trace, and more
* Mix of lore, how-to, humor, and entertainment — a reference book that’s easy to read and makes for good campfire talk
Dogs at the trailhead, belayers in lawn chairs, long lines queued up at the classics in Eldorado Canyon — the crags seem more crowded and more crazy than ever. In fact, according to the Outdoor Industry association, in the United States more than 3.6 million people participated in climbing in 2011. Many of these new climbers are entering outdoor climbing solely through rock gyms, without having the opportunity to apprentice with an experienced friend or mentor— resulting in climbing accidents and conflicts. How do you become a responsible crag citizen?Crag Survival Handbook: The Unspoken Rules of Climbing is longtime climber Matt Samet’s personal handbook to becoming a member of the climbing community. While Samet discusses key skills like movement, dealing with fear, gear management, and how to fall, he also delves into crag culture: ethics, access, dealing with conflict, dogs and kids at the crags, and Leave No trace practices. Samet lays out the unspoken rules you need to know. Chapters include: Heads up! Safety, Hazards, and Basic Crag Awareness

Gierach travels to Wyoming and Maine and points in between, searching out new fly-fishing adventures and savoring familiar waters with old friends. Along the way he meditates on the importance of good guides (""Really, the only thing a psychiatrist can do that a good guide can't is write prescriptions""), the challenge of salmon fishing (""Salmon prowl. If they're not here now, they could be here in half an hour. Or tomorrow. Or next month""), and the zen of fishing alone (""I also enjoy where my mind goes when I'm fishing alone, which is usually nowhere in particular and by a predictable route""). On a more serious note, he ponders the damaging effects of disasters both natural and man-made: drought, wildfires, and the politics of dam-building, among others. Reflecting on a trip to a small creek near his home, Gierach writes, ""In my brightest moments, I think slowing down...has opened huge new vistas on my old home water. It's like a friendship that not only lasts, but gets better against the odds."" Similarly, Still Life with Brook Trout proves that Gierach, like fly-fishing itself, becomes deeper and richer with time.",4.77778,5.0,$13.99,224 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/still-life-with-brook-trout/id381499663?mt=11

Whittam,ABW eBooks,"Oct 08, 2013",Arthur Brindley Whittam,,"The photo archive is from the “Golden Years” of BriSCA F1 Stockcar Racing, which is mainly the 1970s. Change was, basically unknowingly, introduced by a youthful 391 Stuart Smith who built a new chassis and fitted a spanking new engine - which took him to his first World Title and the coveted Gold Roof.
For those who were either there and remember this period, these photo albums will bring back some memories.
Sadly some of the biggest names in the sport at that time have passed on, so in a way these pictures keep alive memories of the exciting period when F1 Stockcar's started to evolve into the sport it is today.
The eBooks include pictures from lowly novice white tops who moved on after a season or two, - to the stars and legends some were to become. 391 Stuart Smith, 396 Doug Cronshaw, 2 Willie Harrison, 306 Mick Noden, 252 Dave Chisholm, 375 George Ansell - and many more.
You can see 53 John Lund in a car that looked as if it would not make a lap - yet statistics show he apparently went on to achieve more than the Legendary Stuart Smith.
The photo images cater for those who like to see - what I called back then - a car portrait, which is the car racing - and for those who like the ""Crash Bang Wallop"" of stock cars, there are enough pictures to keep you happy!",,0.0,$5.99,108 Pages,English,Photography,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/brisca-f1-stockcar-racing/id686859283?mt=13

If you’re thinking of travelling across a desert, then you must be prepared because you never know when something will go wrong. You must know what to do in case your car breaks down or somehow you find yourself in the middle of the desert.The desert is characterized by endless miles of nothing but extremely high temperatures, desert plants and desert features such as sand dunes. While in the desert, you might travel for several hours or even days without seeing any sign of human civilization. This means that the only way you can come out of the desert alive is by knowing how to survive in it.Because of poor or no cellphone network coverage in most parts of deserts, you won’t be able to call for help. Since the roads in most deserts are rarely used, it might take several days or even weeks before a single car passes through them. This means that you should be prepared to survive alone as nobody will come to your rescue while in the desert.The book, “How to Survive in a Desert” is designed to help anybody survive in the desert for as long as possible. With this book, you’ll know what to carry when travelling across a desert. You’ll also learn what to do and what not to do while in the desert.Although it is quite difficult to call for help while in the desert, this book is equipped with tips on how to send a distress signal to other people.

In My Life in Fishing, as only the most accomplished captain and guide can, he shares his tips and insights gleaned from this lifelong pursuit for any and every species, including especially giant tarpon.

There are stories and glimpses that you won’t find in other history books – an amusing episode with Harry and Bess Truman on board Stu’s skiff, an impromptu side-of-the-road meeting with baseball hall-of-famer Ted Williams that led to a forty-year friendship, and an afternoon of drinking Cuban mojitos aboard Pilar with Ernest Hemingway that includes Hemingway’s own mojito recipe.

Lake Fishing, River Fishing, Sea Fishing.",Greg Vinall,Greg Vinall,"Jan 21, 2013",Smashwords,,"(Article, 53 pages, 17000 words)Most people suck at choosing which lure to use.For example, did you know that some fish species can see different colors than other species can, and some fish can even see colors that humans can’t?Did you know that that the colors fish see depends on how deep they are?Have you ever wondered why fish sometimes charge at your lure, then turn away at the last second without striking?Would you like the confidence to choose the best lure colors for any fishing scenario?For the majority of lure fishers, choosing which colored lure to tie on their line is nothing more than a game of chance. Knowing how to pick the right colored lure requires an understanding of how fish see objects and how light and color behave in the fish’s world, and most folks just don't posses that.I’m fortunate to have spent the majority of my working life in a career that allows me to improve my knowledge of how fish behave, and these days I put a lot of thought into lure color selection. I make my lure choices based on the intimate understanding of lakes, rivers and oceans that my profession as an aquatic scientist has provided as well as my past experience with a fishing rod.With all that knowledge, I’d love to say that I’ve always made intelligent decisions about what lures to buy or use for a particular situation.Unfortunately, I can’t say that.Like so many others, my approach to lure color selection for many years was little more than a lottery. I caught fish by switching lures a hundred times until I found one that worked, and very often I wasted a lot of valuable fishing time before I started catching fish. The trouble with this approach is that the next time you go to wet a line the conditions have changed and you have to start over and waste time all over again.I’m glad to say that many years ago I stopped playing the lottery and started to put serious thought into how I could make intelligent lure choices, and since then I haven’t looked back.I’m not going to tell you that I have the secret formula for knowing which lure style or color of lure the fish are going to be smashing on any given day, because that would be ridiculous. Conditions constantly change and fish, like humans, can change their minds, defy logic and rewrite the rules any time they wish.But what I can do is offer you an understanding of the many interrelated factors that affect the appearance of your lures to the fish. In my experience this knowledge is invaluable for increasing your chances of catching a fish.In this eBook I take some very complex scientific concepts and simplify them, giving you a starting point for eliminating the least likely lures and going straight to the top few that are most likely to work on the day. After that, it’s up to you to go through the daily process of trial and error that all lure fishermen must go through.",,0.0,$2.99,69 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/why-fish-dont-see-your-lures/id596642566?mt=11

Charged by a grizzly. Swept into an ice cave. Lost and alone. Over our 40-year history, BACKPACKER readers have been obsessed with survival stories. On a visceral level, they’re dramatic, compelling reads. But even more importantly, survival tales have the power to inform us and move us deeply, cutting to the core of the human struggle. Almost 100 years later, it’s still a thrill to read about Ernest Shackleton and the crew of the Endurance’s death-defying Antarctic struggle, or the Donner party’s ill-fated journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. We’re still captivated by the tenacity, innovation, and grit that survivors of all stripes show in making it home alive despite the worst of Mother Nature’s indifference.
The stories collected here are perhaps not quite so epic as Shackleton’s, but that doesn’t make them any less dramatic, dangerous, or real. They happened to real hikers and backpackers like you, and along with sending tingles down our spines, they remind us that in the wilderness, nothing is ever truly certain or routine—that’s part of the point of heading there in the first place.
And remember, these are BACKPACKER stories, so that means there’s a lesson in each one, and real advice that you can take with you into the backcountry, so you don’t make the same mistakes that these unlucky (or lucky) survivors made, and can find your way home.",,0.0,$5.99,85 Pages,English,Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/backpacker-magazines-true/id692838303?mt=11

Growing up on a remote island off of Britain's windswept coast, he was taught by his father to sail and climb at an early age. Inevitably, it wasn't long before the young explorer was sneaking out to lead all-night climbing expeditions.As a teenager at Eton College, Bear found his identity and purpose through both mountaineering and martial arts. These passions led him into the foothills of the mighty Himalayas and to a karate grandmaster's remote training camp in Japan, an experience that soon helped him earn a second-degree black belt. Returning home, he embarked upon the notoriously grueling selection course for the British Special Forces to join the elite Special Air Service unit 21 SAS—a journey that would push him to the very limits of physical and mental endurance.Then, disaster. Bear broke his back in three places in a horrific free-fall parachuting accident in Africa. It was touch and go whether he would walk again, according to doctors. However, only eighteen months later, a twenty three-year-old Bear became one of the youngest climbers to scale Mount Everest, the world's highest summit. But these were just the beginning of his many extraordinary adventures. . . .Known and admired by millions as the star of Man vs. Wild, Bear Grylls has survived where few would dare to go. Now, for the first time, Bear tells the story of his action-packed life.

Spires,Progressive Management,"Sep 16, 2011",Smashwords,"Mountain Operations Field Manual - FM 3-97.6, FM 90-6 (Value-Added Professional Format Series)","Part of our value-added professional format series, the Mountain Operations Field Manual describes the tactics, techniques, and procedures that the United States (US) Army uses to fight in mountainous regions. It is directly linked to doctrinal principles found in FM 3-0 and FM 3-100.40 and should be used in conjunction with them. It provides key information and considerations for commanders and staffs regarding how mountains affect personnel, equipment, and operations. It also assists them in planning, preparing, and executing operations, battles, and engagements in a mountainous environment. Army units do not routinely train for operations in a mountainous environment.The US Army has a global area of responsibility and deploys to accomplish missions in both violent and nonviolent environments. The contemporary strategic environment and the scope of US commitment dictate that the US Army be prepared for a wide range of contingencies anywhere in the world, from the deserts of southwest Asia and the jungles of South America and southeast Asia to the Korean Peninsula and central and northern Europe. The multiplicity of possible missions makes the likelihood of US involvement in mountain operations extremely high. With approximately 38 percent of the world's landmass classified as mountains, the Army must be prepared to deter conflict, resist coercion, and defeat aggression in mountains as in other areas.Throughout the course of history, armies have been significantly affected by the requirement to fight in mountains. During the 1982 Falkland Islands (Malvinas) War, the first British soldier to set foot on enemy-held territory on the island of South Georgia did so on a glacier. A 3,000-meter (10,000-foot) peak crowns the island, and great glaciers descend from the mountain spine. In southwest Asia, the borders of Iraq, Iran, and Turkey come together in mountainous terrain with elevations of up to 3,000 meters (10,000 feet).This field manual has been converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction.As a bonus, this reproduction includes FM-1, The Army Field Manual, a capstone manual containing the vision for the Army - sold separately for $5.99. FM 1 establishes the fundamental principles for employing Landpower. The most important of these are the Army's operational concept and the fundamentals that support it. They form the foundation for all Army doctrine. All Soldiers should understand and internalize them. FM 1 describes the American profession of arms, the Army's place in it, and what it means to be a professional Soldier.This is a privately authored news service and educational publication of Progressive Management.",,0.0,$9.99,274 Pages,English,Mountaineering,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/21st-century-u.s.-military/id471775327?mt=11

Hunting lions with hounds on dry ground in the Southwest is arguably the hardest method of hunting these large cats. Kibler has mastered this skill and his hunting adventures have elevated him with the Lee brothers and Ben Lilly to a legendary status as a master lion hunter of the American Southwest. He’s one of the last of a handful of purists who disdains any method other than dry-ground, fair-chase hunting. In his more than three decades of chasing lions through the toughest desert country in North America, he’s guided clients to hundreds of trophy cats and captured lions for various government and private biological studies. In his quest, he’s bred his own lion dogs and largely trains and shoes his own mules. Predictably, he’s had close encounters in his decades astride mules in the desert wilderness, and though it has on occasion been a near thing, he’s survived them all to write this, his first book. Kibler has followed a lion into a pitch-black cave with an ice-cold underground pool, dealt with a tom cat that eluded him for more than two years, and taken lions sitting on ledges mere inches wide and hundreds of yards up a steep cliff. Lion Tales contains some of the most interesting stories ever written on hunting mountain lions in the United States.",,0.0,$19.99,228 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/lion-tales/id912974415?mt=11

And his nonangling friends and family may never again entirely recognize him, either.” In other words, he (or she) will have entered Gierach territory. And fishermen who choose to brave the crowds at the big hold, commune with the buddies at the “family pool,” or even wade into questionable waters in the dark of night are sure to recognize themselves in Even Brook Trout Get the Blues.Whether debating bamboo versus graphite rods, describing the pleasure of fishing in pocket waters or during a spring snow in the mountains, or recounting a trip in pursuit of the “fascinatingly ugly” longnose gar, Gierach understands that fly-fishing is more than a sport. It’s a way of life in which patience is (mostly) rewarded, the rhythms of the natural world are appreciated, and the search for the perfect rod or ideal stream is never ending. It is not a life without risks, for as Gierach warns: “This perspective on things can change you irreparably. If it comes to you early enough in life, it can save you from ever becoming what they call ‘normal.’” Even Brook Trout Get the Blues will convince you that “normal” is greatly overrated.",,0.0,$13.99,224 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/even-brook-trout-get-the-blues/id381480781?mt=11

Outdoorsman or angler are broad terms and applies to a large population. However, the title does not encapsulate someone who frequently engages in either. Ultimately, anglers, hunters, hikers, etc., are ordinary people whose lives move from anecdote to anecdote, until life gets serious. An outdoorsman is not immune to failure, complex life decisions, nor are things simpler. Being on the water with a fly rod or in the alpine with a rifle does not provide answers because neither a mountain or a fish can talk. However, when life brings trauma, a fly rod can be the best weapon with which to keep fighting.

It has been restored page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible. This book was created using print-on-demand technology.

This popular classic work by Girl Scouts of the United States of America is in the English language, and includes all the graphics and images from the original edition. If you enjoy the works of Girl Scouts of the United States of America then we highly recommend this publication for your book collection.Scouting (or the Scout Movement) is a movement that aims to support young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, that they may play constructive roles in society, with a strong focus on the outdoors and survival skills. During the first half of the 20th century, the movement grew to encompass three major age groups for boys (Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Rover Scout) and, in 1910, a new organization, Girl Guides, was created for girls (Brownie Guide, Girl Guide and Girl Scout, Ranger Guide). It is one of several worldwide youth organizations.In 1906 and 1907 Robert Baden-Powell, a lieutenant general in the British Army, wrote a book for boys about reconnaissance and scouting. Baden-Powell wrote Scouting for Boys (London, 1908), based on his earlier books about military scouting, with influence and support of Frederick Russell Burnham (Chief of Scouts in British Africa), Ernest Thompson Seton of the Woodcraft Indians, William Alexander Smith of the Boys' Brigade, and his publisher Pearson. In the summer of 1907 Baden-Powell held a camp on Brownsea Island in England to test ideas for his book.

975594345,River Girls,Cecilia Marie Kleinkauf & Christy Ruby,Johnson Books,"Jan 01, 2006",Cecilia Kleinkauf,Girls: Fly Fishing for Young Women,"
River Girls is a book in which four girls, just like you, each tell the story of how they began fly fishing and why they think you should give it a try. Besides their stories, there's lots of information and comments from the girls on how to get started, the gear and how to use it, places to go fly fishing, illustrations of how to cast, pictures of girls out enjoying fly fishing, and much more.
In River Girls, Cecilia ""Pudge"" Kleinkauf uses the real-life experiences of four young women- Alyssa, Samantha, Alex, and Blair- to create an informative and engaging introduction to the sport of flyfishing for pre-teen and teenage girls. Using a ""girls can do this, too"" approach, the book conveys the idea that flyfishing is more fun and challenging than other kinds of fishing and that it is definitely not just a sport for boys.
So, how do you know if fly fishing might be a sport for you? Well, if you’re a girl who enjoys nature, someone who likes spending time around water and who wants to learn new skills, you should definitely give fly fishing a try. The River Girls and their book are here to help.

Mais avec une prime de 100 000 dollars à la clé, Freddo, Karim et Kevin qui n’ont jamais mis les pieds en montagne, sont prêts à prendre tous les risques. C’est précisément ce qu’escomptait le président Laurier, sponsor de cette expédition improbable. Il espère ainsi venger sa fille Caroline qu’ils ont sauvagement agressée dans le RER. Pour Basile, il s’agit d’un double challenge : ramener les trois voyous sains et saufs, et les conduire sur le chemin de la rédemption par la montagne.

He debunks commonly held myths about people and bears. For instance, menstruating women don't have to stay out of bear country, he says. And no, don't roll up in a ball when faced with a charging bear. So much of conventional wisdom about bears is often just plain bad advice; Smith tells you what you should do instead and why. He also reviews specific outdoor activities -- from fishing to mountain biking to hiking with young children to trail running -- assessing the likelihood of bear encounters and suggesting tactics for coping in different settings and situations. This second edition incorporates new research (Do bear bells work? Does tent color or shape make a difference in attracting bears?) and adds more charts and sidebars to make material accessible at a glance.

Vincent Thibault explores the philosophical and spiritual aspects of the art of movement and offers ideas on health, sports, urban living, and the relationship between the body and the environment.

This is the first anthology of John Gierach’s work, a collection that is sure to delight both die-hard fans and new readers alike. To enter Gierach’s world is to experience the daily wonder, challenge, and occasional absurdity of the fishing life—from such rituals as the preparation of camp coffee (for best results, serve in a tin cup) to the random, revelatory surprises, such as the flashing beauty of a grayling leaping out of the water.

His motive has been not only to learn about the area he calls almost a black hole for Americans and foreigners alike’ but also to get to know the people who live there and the wilderness many of them know little about. This book comprises 10 essays covering his visits to the grounds of the ancient Anazasi civilization, to mountains such as Timpanagos and Tukhunikivats, to the mining country of Carbon County and to the various sites associated with the Mormon pioneers who settled Utah 150 years ago revealing that the land of the Latter-Day Saints has much to reward those who are curious enough to venture there. Ian ventures along a series of trails through the remoter and almost wholly ignored parts of the 'American Mountain West'. His travels are based on either cultural or geographic themes allowing him to gain both insight and knowledge of the region, and to experience the wilderness areas of some of America's most beautiful landscapes. Along the way he befriends many Mormons, a people readers will want to know more about given the candidacy of the first LDS Presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, in November's US elections. After opening with The Road to Zion, Ian ventures out first with an essay that conjoins Scotland and Utah through a chance meeting with a Utah mountaineer then deals with his experiences along the Cactus Ed Trail, which looks at Edward Abbey, author of Desert Solitaire. The essays that follow this are: On The Mormon Trail, The Brigadoon Trail, On The Trail of The Ancient Ones, On The Cowboy Trail, On The Indian Trail, The Hanksville Trail, On the Trail of the Mountain Men, and finally On the Miners' Trail.

Laced with the inimitable blend of wit and wisdom that have made him fly-fishing’s foremost scribe, Fool’s Paradise chronicles the fishing life in all its glory (catching your biggest fish ever) and squalor (being stranded in a tent during a soaking rainstorm). In Gierach’s world, both experiences are valuable, and perhaps inevitable. Fishermen everywhere will understand Gierach’s quest to discover and explore new waters (and then not to divulge the best locations to anyone), the unlikely appeal of winter fly-fishing, or his dismay at encroaching development (“You never get to point at a meadow full of browsing mule deer and say, ‘You know, all this was once condos.’”). Braving trips on small prop planes and down “Oh-My-God” roads, Gierach and his fishing buddies pursue bull trout in British Collumbia, steelhead in the Rocky Mountains, and pike so fierce that a wise fisherman wears Kevlar gloves for the obligatory trophy photo.Equal parts fishing lore, philosophy, and great fish stories, Fool’s Paradise may not be a perfect substitute for actually being out on the water, but it’s surely the next best thing.",4.42856,4.5,$11.99,224 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/fools-paradise/id381509269?mt=11 959450453,Fly-Casting Finesse,John L Field & Macauley Lord,Skyhorse Publishing,"Apr 21, 2015","The Perseus Books Group, LLC",A Complete Guide to Improving All Aspects of Your Casting,"Fly-Casting Finesse reveals expert John L.

It runs the gamut from one-hand spey techniques to dealing with wind on the flats.Although not a complete casting curriculum, the purpose of the book is to help anglers learn how to achieve more and know where to get assistance. Many of the skills at the highest levels of fly-casting require an educated sense of feeling in the rod hand that enables the caster to use finesse and seemingly minimal effort to manipulate the rod and line. The book will guide people down the path of acquiring that magical touch.According to Field’s philosophy, readers should first learn all casting styles and techniques to adapt them for any species and location they encounter, and secondly, they should know the history and purpose of presentation, so they can be innovative in the future.

Now this new edition updates the growing body of evidence linking the lack of nature in children’s lives and the rise in obesity, attention disorders, and depression. Louv’s message has galvanized an international back-to-nature campaign to “Leave No Child Inside.” His book will change the way you think about our future and the future of our children. “[The] national movement to ‘leave no child inside’ . . . has been the focus of Capitol Hill hearings, state legislative action, grass-roots projects, a U.S. Forest Service initiative to get more children into the woods and a national effort to promote a ‘green hour’ in each day. . . . The increased activism has been partly inspired by a best-selling book, Last Child in the Woods, and its author, Richard Louv.” —The Washington Post “Last Child in the Woods, which describes a generation so plugged into electronic diversions that it has lost its connection to the natural world, is helping drive a movement quickly flourishing across the nation.” —The Nation’s Health “This book is an absolute must-read for parents.” —The Boston Globe Now includesA Field Guide with 100 Practical Actions We Can Take Discussion Points for Book Groups, Classrooms, and Communities Additional Notes by the Author New and Updated Research from the U.S. and Abroad",4.41667,4.5,$9.99,416 Pages,English,Parenting,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/last-child-in-the-woods/id365101108?mt=11 559865453,Kickball365 Official Circuit Rulebook,"Kickball365 Rules Committee & Kickball365, Inc.","Kickball365, Inc","Jan 04, 2012","Kickball365, Inc.",v.2012,"The code of rules governing the playing of competitive adult kickball games by professional teams who comprise the Kickball365 Circuit Series is the Official Circuit Rulebook.

With every chapter, you get a history lesson, a hunting lesson, a nature lesson and a cooking lesson. . . . Meat Eater offers an overabundance to savor.”—The New York Times Book Review Steven Rinella grew up in Twin Lake, Michigan, the son of a hunter who taught his three sons to love the natural world the way he did. As a child, Rinella devoured stories of the American wilderness, especially the exploits of his hero, Daniel Boone. He began fishing at the age of three and shot his first squirrel at eight and his first deer at thirteen. He chose the colleges he went to by their proximity to good hunting ground, and he experimented with living solely off wild meat. As an adult, he feeds his family from the food he hunts. Meat Eater chronicles Rinella’s lifelong relationship with nature and hunting through the lens of ten hunts, beginning when he was an aspiring mountain man at age ten and ending as a thirty-seven-year-old Brooklyn father who hunts in the remotest corners of North America. He tells of having a struggling career as a fur trapper just as fur prices were falling; of a dalliance with catch-and-release steelhead fishing; of canoeing in the Missouri Breaks in search of mule deer just as the Missouri River was freezing up one November; and of hunting the elusive Dall sheep in the glaciated mountains of Alaska. Through each story, Rinella grapples with themes such as the role of the hunter in shaping America, the vanishing frontier, the ethics of killing, the allure of hunting trophies, the responsibilities that human predators have to their prey, and the disappearance of the hunter himself as Americans lose their connection with the way their food finds its way to their tables. Hunting, he argues, is intimately connected with our humanity; assuming responsibility for acquiring the meat that we eat, rather than entrusting it to proxy executioners, processors, packagers, and distributors, is one of the most respectful and exhilarating things a meat eater can do. A thrilling storyteller with boundless interesting facts and historical information about the land, the natural world, and the history of hunting, Rinella also includes after each chapter a section of “Tasting Notes” that draws from his thirty-plus years of eating and cooking wild game, both at home and over a campfire. In Meat Eater he paints a loving portrait of a way of life that is part of who we are as humans and as Americans.Praise for Meat Eater “Full of empathy and intelligence . . . In some sections of the book, the author’s prose is so engrossing, so riveting, that it matches, punch for punch, the best sports writing.”—The Wall Street Journal “Steven Rinella is one of the best nature writers of the last decade. . . .

Everyone wants to get rid of such a lifestyle where you are dependent on these artificial things to survive. In many instances, people become so addicted and dependent on them that it becomes difficult and sometimes even impossible to survive without them. People spend all their lives working hard to earn a decent living and income, but the utility bills drain most of these hard earned funds. What if there was a way they could get out of this routine of bill payments and frustration. Going “Off the Grid” is the answer to such problems. All you have to do is produce your own resources and energy. This is why more and more people are turning towards this greener and environment-friendly way of living.The phenomenon of living with less is something that is everyone seeks. The idea of living with less has been described by Thoreau in Walden. Human lives have become very artificial and technical. There are a number of manmade technologies that we are now dependent upon. In many cases, our survival has become impossible without the presence of these human technologies. Our lives have become robotic like science fiction movies. There is a gadget for every activity and function. There are times in everyone’s lives where we want to have a reprieve from these gadgets and technological wonders. This is when people rush towards the great wilderness and outdoors where the living is still natural and untouched by human evolution. You do not rely on utility services and manmade resources out in nature. There are many people in the world who want adopt this way of living in the natural habitat for their entire lives.

In one climbing year Peter Boardman visited three very different sacred mountains. He began in the New Year, on the South Face of the Carstensz Pyramid in New Guinea. This shark’s fin of steep limestone walls and sweeping glaciers is the highest point between the Andes and the Himalaya, and one of the most inaccessible, rising above thick jungle inhabited by warring Stone Age tribes. During the spring Boardman was on more familiar, if hardly more reassuring, ground, making a four-man, oxygen-free attempt on the world’s third highest peak, Kangchenjunga. Hurricane-force winds beat back their first two bids on the unclimbed North Ridge, but they eventually stood within feet of the summit leaving the final few yards untrodden in deference to the inhabiting deity. In October, he was back in the Himalaya and climbing the mountain most sacred to the Sherpas: the twin-summited Gauri Sankar. Renowned for its technical difficulty and spectacular profile, it is aptly dubbed the Eiger of the Himalaya and Boardman’s first ascent of the South Summit took a committing and gruelling twenty-three days. Three sacred mountains, three very different expeditions, all superbly captured by Boardman in Sacred Summits, his second book, first published shortly after his death in 1982. Combining the excitement of extreme climbing with acute observation of life in the mountains, this is an amusing, dramatic, poignant and thought-provoking book, amply fulfilling the promise of Boardman’s first title, The Shining Mountain, for which he won the John Llewelyn Rhys Prize in 1979. Peter Boardman and Joe Tasker died on Everest in 1982, whilst attempting a new and unclimbed line. Both men were superb mountaineers and talented writers. Their literary legacy lives on through the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature, established by family and friends in 1983 and presented annually to the author or co-authors of an original work which has made an outstanding contribution to mountain literature.

All men are not equal and some can take, others can not! … Being a member of a drastically unequal party [as] regards age, position and ability combined with experience (and I shall not try to judge my own position) I might say the experiment has been a failure in all except congeniality …” — From Jack Durrance’s expedition diary, July 20, 1939 The story of the 1939 American K2 expedition is well known among mountaineers: world-class German-born climber Fritz Wiessner and Pasang Dawa Lama came within 800 feet of attaining the world’s second-highest unclimbed summit before turning back for more supplies. Rejoining them on the descent was Dudley Wolfe, who had stayed not far below. Upon reaching the lower camps, the party found them stripped of supplies and deserted. Wiessner decided to descend further to investigate, and left Wolfe behind — alone. Later, unable to descend solo, Wolfe had to be rescued; but the attempt failed, and Wolfe and Sherpas Pasang Kikuli, Pasang Kitar, and Phinsoo died. Initially, Wiessner was held responsible, but in time the blame shifted to climber Jack Durrance and another Sherpa. The disaster was considered one of the worst accidents in the climbing history of the Himalaya. It was also the subject of much speculation for years afterward; in 1961, Italian climber Fosco Maraini claimed it a tragedy “ on which no full light has ever been shed.” For some historians, the speculation would not rest. There were too many missing pieces, inconsistencies, and unanswered questions for a disaster of this scale. Unfortunately, reliable documentation was scarce. So was the cooperation of the remaining expedition members, who did not want to rekindle the controversy that arose from the expedition’s failure. They echoed the neutral statement issued by the investigating committee of the American Alpine Club in 1940, which said, in effect, let sleeping dogs lie. When Andrew J. Kauffman and William L. Putnam later began work on Wiessner’s biography, they found discrepancies in the account of the K2 incident. Intrigued, they dug deeper and began to uncover a larger tangle of events than had been previously suspected. The recent availability of Jack Durrance’s own trip diary further enabled them to unravel the events of the ill-fated adventure on K2. K2: The 1939 Tragedy retraces the expedition’s key elements — the debilitating weather, the personalities and weaknesses of party members, Wiessner’s “romantic vision” uncharacteristic of the climbing era —and reveals the steps that led toward catastrophe. This story stands as one of the most dramatic, complex, and instructive in mountaineering history.

The loss of Alison Hargreaves and six companions in 1995 was a grim echo of the multiple deaths in 1986 and of earlier disasters which have become part of climbing legend. K2 has always attracted the greatest names in mountaineering. Wiessner, Houston, Bonatti, Diemberger and Bonington are among those whose lives have been permanently scarred by their experiences on it. At the same time some inspiring new routes have been achieved on the world's most difficult 8000-metre peak.

Incredibly, he accomplished that feat without the aid of bottled oxygen for every mountain but one. By preference, he climbed solo or in small teams, without Sherpas. During twenty-three expeditions, he spent a total of three years clinging to the sides of dangerous mountains. He lost more than twenty climbing friends and, in April 2014, witnessed Everest's deadliest avalanche. His book is a riveting, often thrilling account of what it takes to challenge the Earth's highest peaks and survive. It tells of death-defying ascents and even riskier descents, the gut-dropping consequences of the smallest mistakes or even just bad luck, the camaraderie and human drama of expeditions, the exhilaration of altitude.

Swept over the edge of a 75-foot cliff, he plummeted to the rocks below. Against all odds, he survived the fall--regaining consciousness shrouded in darkness and sub-zero temperatures, separated from his supplies, and in excruciating pain from a broken leg and shattered pelvis. With frostbite and internal bleeding beginning to take their toll, Jones summoned his deepest will to live and began three agonizing days dragging himself over frozen terrain to safety--only to discover that his true ordeal was yet to begin. The doctors who initially treated him were astonished that any person could sustain such massive trauma and exposure and still be alive. Then, after an initial round of extensive surgeries and recoveries that equaled if not exceeded the pain of the injuries themselves, Jones was told he would almost certainly never walk again. Over the next two years he endured constant physical therapy and additional surgery, with latent effects from the fall still threatening his life. At one point, he slipped into unconsciousness under anesthesia just as he heard a doctor telling his mother he was going to die. But with a soldier's heart he made his way to recovery, regained full mobility, and has made his story known in this remarkable book. In the bestselling tradition of Into Thin Air and Touching the Void, Darkness Descending is a classic tale of triumph over adversity and what it means to never give up.

Through Smythe, an experienced high-altitude mountaineer, the reader experiences all the tension, fatigue, discomfort and struggle of a major expedition but is also able to enjoy the sublime descriptions of nature at its wildest and most beautiful. Smythe is a keen observer of light, cloud and colour and his spiritual prose conjures up a palpable sense of the Himalaya. There is a rich sense of history within these pages; the book is very much of its time. However, the sometimes harsh colonial attitudes do not eclipse the genuine respect Smythe has for his Indian and Sherpa companions, nor what these remarkable men achieved. Through this journey, we are led from the dank, steamy foothills of the Himalaya, to its harsh and inhospitable peaks as Smythe and his team push themselves to their limits. In his own words: '˜A real appreciation of life is made up of contrasts. Civilisation cannot be properly appreciated unless you have lived in the wild '¦ we had sweated and we had shivered; we had experienced comfort and discomfort; we had gazed upon ugliness and beauty; we had known comradeship; we had found peace.'

So for the days when you sit by the fire, you need this book—especially if you have a spot in your heart reserved for the peaks of the great Northeast!” —Bill McKibben, author of Wandering Home “No Limits But the Sky is a treasure. This collection of stories from over a century of mountain adventures captures the richness of the climbing life and the wild and varied lineage of all who wander out into the hills.” —Sarah Garlick, climber and award-winning science and nature writer “No Limits But the Sky takes the reader on a trek through more than a century of Appalachia, with authors ranging from world-renowned to little-known. All share a passion for mountains and an unquenchable thirst for adventure. Locales vary from mighty K2 to modest Mount Crescent—the scale of the peaks varies, but the spirit of the authors is invariably high.” —Peter Crane, Curator, Mount Washington Observatory “If you share my passion for mountain adventure, No Limits But the Sky is a must-read.

Peary from realizing his lifelong dream of becoming the first man to set foot on the North Pole. On that dark morning on Canada’s Ellesmere Island, it was cold enough to freeze a bottle of brandy. Though appearing solid, the ice sat atop seawater, and shifted violently according to the whims of the ocean below. Peary was used to the conditions—he’d barely survived them just three years before when he first tried, and failed, to reach the earth’s northernmost point. But this time around, no amount of peril could dissuade Peary and his party from their attempt. He cried “Forward, march!” and the journey of a lifetime began. Written with thrilling detail and heart-pounding suspense, Peary to the Pole is the definitive account of one man’s trek through some of the world’s most treacherous terrain, in search of adventure, discovery, and immortality.“In writing Peary to the Pole, Walter Lord had to face problems more complex than in any of his adult books about the Titanic disaster, Pearl Harbor or the Alamo. . . . A sound, thorough job.” —The New York Times Book Review “A master narrator.” —Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. “Walter was a giant, there is no other way to describe him.” —John Maxtone-Graham, author of Titanic TragedyWalter Lord (1917–2002) was an acclaimed and bestselling author of literary nonfiction best known for his gripping and meticulously researched accounts of watershed historical events. Born in Baltimore, Lord went to work for the Office of Strategic Services during World War II. After the war’s end, Lord joined a New York advertising firm, and began writing nonfiction in his spare time. His first book was The Fremantle Diary (1954), a volume of Civil War diaries that became a surprising success. But it was Lord’s next book, A Night to Remember (1955), that made him famous. The bestseller caused a new flurry of interest in the Titanic and inspired the 1958 film of the same name. Lord went on to use the book’s interview-heavy format as a template for most of his following works, which included detailed reconstructions of the Pearl Harbor attack in Day of Infamy (1957), the battle of Midway in Incredible Victory (1967), and the integration of the University of Mississippi in The Past That Would Not Die (1965).

Covering three expeditions to familiar and unfamiliar ranges in Nepal, the Karakoram and the Kumaon, each shares the exhilaration of attempting new alpine-style routes on terrifyingly committing mountains. In 1989 Victor Saunders and Steve Sustad completed a difficult route on the West Face of Makalu II, only to be brought to a storm-bound halt above 7000 metres while descending. Without food or bivouac gear, they endured a tortuous descent after a night in the open. Two years later the pair were with a small team in the Hunza valley exploring elusive access to a giant hidden pillar on the unvisited South-East Face of Ultar, one of the highest and most shapely of the world’s unclimbed peaks. Climbing at night to avoid being caught out by the torture of sun on ice, they were a few pitches from the summit ridge on soft snow and rotten ice before equipment failure committed them to a dire descent. In 1992 Victor Saunders was part of a joint Indian-British team climbing various peaks in the Panch Chuli range and exploring its approaches from the west. A happy and successful expedition narrowly avoided ending in tragedy when Stephen Venables broke both legs in a fall on the descent from Panch Chuli V and Chris Bonington survived another fall going to his aid. The dramatic evacuation of Venables, in which the author took a major part, forms an exciting climax to a book which describes at first hand what it is like on the cutting edge of contemporary alpine-style climbing in the world’s highest mountains. As well as exciting climbing action, No Place to Fall offers enviable mountain exploration, enriched by sharing the lives of the mountain peoples along the way. Victor Saunders also casts a perceptive, if bemused, eye over his fellow climbers and reflects on the calculation of risk that drives them back year after year to chance their lives in high places.",,0.0,$6.99,300 Pages,English,Mountaineering,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/no-place-to-fall/id623048119?mt=11 889776545,Moments à Part,Thierry Clavel,Ibex Books,"Jun 15, 2014",Immateriel.fr,Carnets d'un skieur de pente raide,"La vie n’est décidément pas un long fleuve tranquille.

Scendendo, tuttavia, in seguito a un incidente la corda che teneva legati i sette scalatori si rompe, e quattro di essi perdono la vita precipitando nel vuoto. Pochi giorni più tardi, Jean-Antoine Carrel arriva in cima dal versante italiano. Carrel è il vero «eroe» dell’avvincente racconto che Reinhold Messner fa della «conquista» di questa splendida e montagna: Carrel, la guida della Valtournanche che per primo osò pensare di salire il Cervino, fino ad allora considerato inespugnabile per le condizioni meteorologiche che lo caratterizzano, per la severità delle sue pareti, per l’aspetto maestoso che dai tempi più remoti ha alimentato miti e leggende paurose. E Carrel è caratterialmente l’opposto del «dandy» Whymper: taciturno, istintivo, dominato dal senso di responsabilità per le persone che scalano con lui, affidabile fino alle ultimissime ore prima di morire lui stesso sul Cervino, venticinque anni più tardi, dopo aver assicurato la salvezza ai suoi compagni. Perché la corda che teneva gli inglesi si sia rotta è ormai chiarito da tempo, ma è la questione del «senso di responsabilità» che interessa soprattutto Messner. E in questo libro affascinante, che prende le mosse dal grande classico di Guido Rey, Il Monte Cervino, Messner è come se facesse parte dell’una e dell’altra della cordata dei due personaggi contrapposti, Whymper e Carrel, che rappresentano due modi radicalmente diversi di vivere la montagna, pur accomunati come sono dalla medesima, bruciante, passione.Perché Messner vuole capire: «Voglio salire con questi due alpinisti.

Even alpine climbers - who this book is primarily aimed at - tend to focus too much on upper body fitness, when in-fact much of alpine climbing involves the legs. In rock climbing most of us only really notice our shortcomings when it comes to a hard rock-over and desperate one leg press, say on a gritstone climb, or when forced to stand on a tiny hold for twenty minutes fiddling in a wire. The reality is that although we imagine that our climbing is limited by our ability to 'hold on', much of our ability is due to our ability to 'push on' - the legs propelling us up the rock, up peaks, and just as importantly back down again. This short instructional book is designed to provide some basic guidance, ideas and work outs for all climbers, especially those that undertake leg intensive climbing such as Alpine and mountaineering. The text is not designed to be exhaustive, and in many ways it should act as the first step in learning more about an area of training that you find works for you.",,0.0,$2.99,26 Pages,English,Mountaineering,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/legs/id677176825?mt=13 878825509,Moonwalker,Alan,BackPage Press,"May 15, 2014",BACKPAGE PRESS LTD,Adventures of a midnight mountaineer,"Moonwalker is a unique story, the memoir of a man whose love of Scotland's mountains would override his body-clock and all conventional notions of health and safety. When Alan Rowan finished his shifts as a sub-editor at a national newspaper at midnight, he knew he was too jacked up on deadline adrenaline to attempt sleep. At the same time, he was starting to worry if he would ever complete his ambition to reach the summit of every Munro in Scotland those peaks of over 3000ft. One crazy night, he decided upon a single solution to both problems. He would begin his ascents in the middle of the night, see the sun rise above the clouds and then come down the mountain just as everyone else was going up. We see Alan's transformation from desk jockey to midnight mountaineer, meet dodgy car salesmen, rabid sheepdogs, charging deer, superstitious Germans and crooked confectioners - all the while seeing the best of Scotland in a unique light.

With clever wit, sharp observations, and insightful reflections, Child's writing covers the full spectrum of the mountaineering experience. Entertaining even to those who have never been above sea level, Child's stories reveal climbing's other face. His description of the daily habits of mountaineers on expedition (who don't bathe for months) is both disgusting and horrifyingly funny. A post-climb fiasco in the offices of petty Pakistani bureaucrats proves that not all epics take place on high mountain faces. Falling of a rock climb in front of his mother is an exercise in humility. Child takes up climbing controversy with the same keen insight. His investigation of Tomo Cesen's claimed first ascent of Lhotse's south wall is considered the definitive report on this controversial event. A hard look at the media frenzy around the death of Alison Hargreaves on K2 evolves into a brilliant, impassioned defense of a friend. He also speaks out on the money- and media-driven expeditions that now crowd Everest. But Child never preaches. Whether contrasting his clumsy performance with Lynn Hill's elegant moves on a climb in the remote mountains of Kyrgyzstan or reflecting upon artifacts (from crucifixes to pink flamingos) that decorate the world's highest peaks, he writes it as he sees it, with a dose of wit.

Well anyone who may need to place, use or remove a peg, meaning big wall climbers, winter climbers and alpinists. Someone once asked me how you went about placing a peg when climbing a big wall, to which I replied ‘just hammer it in until it doesn’t come out’. This may have seemed like a pithy answer, but at the time I thought that this was simply how you did it, after all, it wasn’t rocket science and that’s how I’d always approached the art of pegging. But in writing this book I’ve come to the conclusion that in fact pegging is far more complex then just hammering away on a lump of steel, especially if you’re going to do it safety and without too much impact on the rock. Driven draws together the entire contents of my brain - well the bits that touch on pegs anyway - and aims to pass on a bit more knowledge than my pithy answer.

Da tempo, infatti, viaggia da solo, lasciandosi alle spalle gli impegni di lavoro, quelli familiari, la tecnologia e le comodità della vita quotidiana, per spingersi verso mete lontane, curioso degli angoli del mondo distanti dalla nostra civiltà, di cime che toccano il cielo. Questo è il racconto della sua scalata in solitaria sulla montagna più alta della catena delle Ande: l'Aconcagua. Ma a rendere ancora più preziosa questa narrazione così intensa c'è l'elemento anagrafico: nel 2011, quando Pietruccio intraprende il viaggio, ha 70 anni. E il numero sette è anche quello dei settemila metri dell'Aconcagua. In queste pagine si nascondono le domande che un uomo pone a se stesso sulle motivazioni più profonde della vita. Interrogativi che suonano forti nella mente quando la solitudine ti avvolge e la sfida è quella dei tuoi pensieri. Il cammino nella natura ostile e selvaggia diventa metafora del percorso della vita. Mentre racconta ciò che vede e sente - sulla pelle il vento freddo, il cuore in gola per la fatica e lo spettro della morte che segue ogni passo - Pietruccio guarda anche alla sua storia umana, alla ricerca di risposte a quell'inquietudine che spesso lo ha accompagnato.

In this fascinating book, which includes white-knuckle accounts of his own climbs in the South Island and the Italian Alps, Paul chats with some of New Zealand’s most experienced climbers, such as Bill McLeod, Lydia Bradey and Erik Monasterio, to find out why they are drawn to the mountains, and why, even after losing close friends, they keep returning to this place of ‘other-worldly limbo’. Accompanying the text are Paul’s spectacular photographs from his own climbs. An active climber for many years, Paul Hersey has completed more than 60 rock and alpine first ascents in New Zealand and Europe, and has participated in expeditions to the Pamirs and the Himalayas. He has worked as an ice climbing and glacier guide on Franz Josef Glacier, and as a rock climbing instructor in the United Kingdom. As a writer Paul has at times been employed as a newspaper reporter, magazine journalist and photographer. The former climbing columnist for Wilderness magazine, he continues to write for The Climber and the Alpine Journal. Paul is currently an outdoors shop retail manager in Dunedin.

Dealing with a chaotic build-up and bureaucratic obstacles so huge they verged on comical, the mountaineers gained access to Shishapangma’s unclimbed South-West Face where Doug Scott, Alex MacIntyre and Roger Baxter Jones made one of the most audacious and stylish Himalayan climbs ever. First published in 1984 as The Shishapangma Expedition, Shishapangma won the first ever Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature. Told through a series of diary-style entries from all the climbers involved, Shishapangma reveals the tense nature of Himalayan decision-making, mountaineering tactics and climbing relationships. Tense and candid, the six writers see every event differently, reacting in different ways and pulling no punches in their opinions of the other mountaineers quite literally at one point. Nonetheless, the climbers, at the peak of their considerable powers and experience, completed an extremely committing enterprise. The example set by their fine climb survives and several new routes (all done in alpine style) have now been added to this magnificent face. For well-trained climbers, such ascents are fast and efficient, but the consequences of error, misjudgement or bad luck can be terminal and, sadly, soon afterwards two of the participants were struck down in mountaineering accidents MacIntyre hit by stonefall on Annapurna’s South Face and Baxter-Jones being caught by an ice avalanche on the Aiguille du Triolet.

From that moment on, it seemed nothing else in his life mattered nearly as much as his next vertical fix. Ten years later, Fawcett was the most famous rock climber in Britain and among the best in the world, part of a new wave whose dedication to training transformed the sport, pushing standards further and faster than ever before - or since. His legacy of new climbs ranks him alongside the very best in the history of the sport. He was also the first to style himself a professional rock climber, starring in the landmark television documentary ""Rock Athlete"", and appearing on the covers of magazines around the world. But far from enjoying the fame, Fawcett found the pressures of the limelight too much to bear, and at the end of the 1980s he faded from view.

For eleven months the mountaineer has sighed for the mountain wind on his cheek, for the lilt of the mountain stream, for the feel of rock in his hand, for the crunch of frozen snow beneath his feet, for the smell of mist and the fragrance of alp and pine forest. In his spare moments he has read about mountains, pored over maps, and studied guidebooks. Then comes the day when he inspects his boots, his ice axe, and his rope. He packs his rucksack. He buys his railway ticket. The incredible has become credible. For two weeks, three weeks, or a month he will escape from civilisation and all its works; he is off to the mountains.’ In Mountaineering Holiday, Frank Smythe records an outstanding Alpine climbing season’ his 1939 summer holiday Writing in his typically engaging style of keen observation, entertaining anecdote and remarkable knack for description, Smythe takes the reader with him on his trip into the Alps. Arriving unfit and out of practice, he gets stuck behind slower climbers and spends rainy days confined to the valleys before making an impressive number of successful ascents and historic climbs: Mont Tondu, the Aiguille de Bionnassay, the Brenva Face and an ascent of the Innominata Ridge of Mont Blanc. There is a wonderful sense of familiarity about the book. Smythes’s experiences and emotions are instantly recognisable by the modern climber, evoking memories of other trips and mountain days. And his examination of our need for mountains and wild places reaches conclusions that strike a chord with everybody who enjoys the great outdoors. Yet this is the 1930s. Mountaineering equipment and technique are in their infancy. Attitudes within climbing are markedly different to those of today and the first ascents of many major routes are still to be claimed.

Combining a powerful yet intimately told story with 150 colour photos, maps, archival video and audio recordings, “Everest: High Expectations” sets a new standard for illustrated ebooks as it chronicles both Canadian expeditions’ quest to put a new route up the world’s highest peak. In 1982, a team of Canada’s best climbers confidently trekked to Everest through Nepal’s post monsoon rains. Within a month, four people were dead and half the climbers had returned home. The much-diminished team salvaged the expedition by putting six climbers on the summit via the traditional South Col route but its mission was incomplete. Four years later, a second team returned to make mountaineering history. Not only did the 1986 Canadian Everest Light Expedition establish a new route on Everest without Sherpa support, but it also put the first North American woman on top. Despite several subsequent attempts, that route (via Tibet) has never been repeated. This book, co-written by international adventure photojournalist Pat Morrow and alpine guide Sharon Wood, provides a fascinating insiders’ look at an era when climbing with style was more important than “peak bagging” and Everest was only approached after a long mountain-climbing apprenticeship. “High Expectations” delivers classic high-altitude drama — a near miss in a massive avalanche, speedy alpine-style ascents from the South Col to summit, a risky nighttime descent of the Hornbein Couloir, a fiery gas explosion in a tent and weeks battling jet stream winds in an atmosphere starved of oxygen. Both authors make candid observations on how their lives were affected by the Everest experience and offer frank assessments of the change in attitude today toward Everest and climbing standards.

Ranging from fleeting moments of transcendence to full-blown encounters with ghosts and everything in between—visions, near-death experiences, psychic communication—many extreme athletes have experienced these moments of connection with the beyond, but have been reluctant to talk about them.In Explorers of the Infinite, award-winning outdoors journalist and lifelong adventure sports devotee Maria Coffey probes the mystical and paranormal experiences of mountaineers, snowboarders, surfers, and more. She reviews cutting-edge science, and consults the history of philosophy and spirituality to answer the question: Could the state of intense “aliveness” that is the allure of extreme sports for so many actually be a route to a connection with the beyond?Coffey investigates the scientific explanations for mystical phenomena, ranging from simple explanations to theories from consciousness studies and quantum physics, and leaves us wondering where science ends and spirituality begins.An energetic, you-are-there look at the spiritual lives of extreme athletes, Explorers of the Infinite asks why extreme athletes take the risks that allow them to push the limits of consciousness, what they encounter there, and what we can learn from them.",,0.0,$16.99,304 Pages,English,Mountaineering,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/explorers-of-the-infinite/id357997833?mt=11 888687371,Sicurezza in montagna,Piergiorgio Vidi & Adriano Alimonta,Hoepli,"Jun 12, 2014",Edigita Editoria Digitale Italiana Srl,Conoscere le manovre di corda per l'autosoccorso e la progressione su roccia e ghiaccio,"L'arrampicata praticata nelle varie discipline, dalla ""sportiva"" in falesia, alle vie alpinistiche impegnative, passando per le vie ferrate e le ascensioni classiche, sono un grande divertimento se affrontate in sicurezza.

Murray's great classics of mountain literature,"In Mountaineering in Scotland, climber and mountaineer W.H. Murray vividly describes some of the most sought-after and classic British climbs on rock and ice, including the Cuillin Ridge on Skye and Ben Nevis. The book – written in secret on toilet paper in whilst Murray was a prisoner of war – is infused with the sense of freedom and joy the author found in the mountains. He details the hardship and pleasure wrung from high camping in winter, climbs Clachaig Gully and makes the second winter ascent of Observatory Ridge. Murray recounts his adventures in Glencoe and the mountains beyond – including a terrifying near-death experience at the falls of Falloch. Murray’s first book, Mountaineering in Scotland is widely acknowledged as a classic of mountaineering literature. It inspirational prose – as fresh now as when first published – is bound to make a reader reach for their tent and head for the hills of Scotland.

In this case, Kirkpatrick uses his 12-day solo climb of the Reticent Wall on California's El Capitan as the experience that helps him understand how growing up poor and struggling with dyslexia and low self-confidence set him on a path of extreme adventure.Kirkpatrick's writing is gripping and highly entertaining -- even non-climbers will enjoy his raw intensity, gallows humor, and honest, self-deprecating storytelling style. This book is a Boardman-Tasker Prize winner, which is recognition given for outstanding mountaineering literature. From the judges' remarks: “The book is very cleverly structured....The cuts from scene to scene and climb to climb work wonderfully well -- a sort of mountaineering Day of The Jackal -- as Kirkpatrick comes closer and closer to his nemesis on Reticent Wall. And it is this climb, the running narrative of the book, that grips the most: 14 pitches of aid climbing, unrelieved by conversation with a partner other than himself, should by rights be boring.

Tilman, the solution lay in Africa gold prospecting, mountaineering and a 3,000-mile solo bicycle ride across the continent. Tilman was perhaps the greatest explorer of his time, a famed mountaineer and pioneering sailor who made first ascents throughout the Himalaya, attempted Everest, and sailed into the Arctic Circle. For Tilman, the goal was always to discover new places, to explore rather than conquer. Snow on the Equator chronicles Tilman’s early adventures; his transition from East African coffee planter to famed mountaineer. After World War I, he moved to Africa, meeting Eric Shipton and beginning a hugely successful mountaineering partnership. He hunted game, experimented with mining and climbed Mount Kenya, Kilimanjaro and Ruwenzori before embarking on a remarkable bicycle odyssey across Africa recounted here in splendidly funny style. Tilman became one of the greatest of all travel writers. His writings are the works of a subtle and wry humourist with an ironic, yet cultured and committed world view.

Fuji, Japan’s highest peak and affectionately referred to by the Japanese as Fuji-san, is considered one of the world's most beautiful mountains.Mt. Fuji is climbed by at least 300,000 people every year and, including the hundreds of thousands of tourists who travel up to the 5th Stations for sightseeing & don't even climb the peak, it comes as no surprise that Mt. Fuji is generally regarded as the most visited mountain in the world.

Whether these needs result from physical evolution or intelligent design, they produce a concern about ultimate cause, meaning, and purpose for existence known as the ontological imperative. Since understanding ultimate concerns is beyond physical science, elusive, and mysterious, people tend to attribute explanation to a metaphysical realm resulting in spirituality. Mountains symbolize obstacles in meeting the needs, and experiences in climbing mountains provide a vehicle both actually and figuratively for exploring associated mechanisms and impacts. Pursuit of the ontological imperative stimulates the attitude of spirituality that becomes conceptualized into personal religious systems forming beliefs that can be shared with others. Shared religions acquire dogma, structure, ritual, faith, and worship that then become institutional religions. As science develops, physical explanations supplant metaphysical explanations that many times conflict with religion. Faith in established belief competes with science producing a great dilemma. A great paradox is that both are needed despite the conflict. The first chapter relates a personal experience climbing Mount Fuji that nearly ended in disaster, with the question of why people do such things. Chapter 2 is a brief summary of research supporting the human need of stimulation and challenge. Subsequent chapters alternate between mountain climbing experiences and brief summaries of research about why people continue to pursue difficult tasks, progressing from stimulation & challenge to goal accomplishment; emotions & awe; consciousness & cognition involving brain, mind, spirit, and soul; search for ultimate reality involving ontological imperative, spirituality, personal religion, and institutional religion; and finally to pragmatic reality involving science-religion dilemma and need-for-both paradox. This bottom-up approach leads to the final chapters proposal for ameliorating conflict and dilemma caused by some religious beliefs: by accepting the great paradox and pursuing a seemingly unattainable goal; recognizing personal characteristics of spirituality exemplified in the five-factor model of personality; abopting an attitude of nognosticism whereby the limitations of present knowledge are acknowledged; and accepting ecumenical humanism whereby alternate beliefs are tolerated. Such an approach might be classified as pragmatic pluralism. A basic theme is that for life to be meaningful and manageable, people need a sense of purpose and coherence that is best met by having a belief about the unknown and doubt of its validity.

Many of Beetham's images, including those made on the 1924 expedition, were for over 25 years curated by Michael Lowes and are reproduced in this book with the kind permission of the Bentley Beetham Trust and Durham University. His images of Tibet are 'an important historical record of Tibetan culture and a way of life that in modern times has rapidly begun to disappear'.

Climb long enough and finding yourself in a jam far from help is inevitable. In Climbing: Self Rescue, two longtime climbing instructors and guides teach how to improvise your own solutions, calling for outside help only when necessary. Because few climbers carry fancy (and expensive) search and rescue gear, all skills taught in this book use the items typically found on a climbing rack: rope, carabiners, slings, and cord. Text, illustrations, and photos explain knots, belaying and hauling systems, rappelling, ascension, passing knots, how to safely assist and rig an injured climber, and more. Roughly half of the book is devoted to real-life climbing scenarios and solutions ranging from moderate to severe.

A pioneer in the sport-climbing revolution of the 1980s and a bouldering legend in the 1990s, he is one of the most iconic rock climbers in the sport’s history, In Statement, Moon’s official biography, award-winning writer Ed Douglas paints a portrait of a climbing visionary and dispels the myth of Moon as an anti-traditional climbing renegade. Interviews with Moon are complemented with insights from family and friends and extracts from magazines and personal diaries and letters. Ever since I first set foot on rock at the tender age of seven years, climbing has been the most important thing in my life. In fact I would go so far as to say it is my reason for living and as long as I am able to climb I hope I will.

Succeeding requires a solid understanding of belaying and other climbing techniques that are used in various climbing disciplines, but are detailed here specifically for sport climbing. Targeting varying abilities, Sport Climbing teaches climbers how to rehearse moves and train for routes, how to get through the pump, how to fight until the end of a pitch, how to stay composed when tired, and how to best use their bodies to climb efficiently and expertly. Whether inspiring new climbers to learn the nuances of scaling vertical terrain, or delving into a deeper, more conceptual understanding of how to go about projecting a route, Andrew Bisharat brings confidence and a level of practicality to the sport. He demonstrates how skills specific to redpointing transfer over to traditional climbing, making this a must-have book for any climber.

In My Life he tells the story of how he turned from a fragile child wrapped, quite literally, in cotton bindings,’ into one of the most important mountaineers in the world. Leaving school in 1920, Heckmair dedicated himself to climbing, becoming a full-time mountain vagabond’. Penniless, he lived in Alpine huts and cycled from climb to climb, even riding from Germany to the High Atlas mountains of Morocco. He rapidly developed as a mountaineer, making an ascent of the Walker Spur in awful weather, and a solo ascent of the Matterhorn in walking shoes, a feat that nobody believed. But his crowning achievement, climbed in full media glare, would always be his Eiger ascent. Events did not always run smoothly arrested after a quarrel with a farmer, he escaped through a window (never imprison mountain climbers in towers’). When arrested again, his ice axes mistaken for deadly weapons while he slept on a park bench, Heckmair chose to stay put, preferring the cell bunk to his bench. At times, the book ventures into darker territory. As one of the great German climbers of the 1930s, Heckmair inevitably attracted the attention of the Nazi party, he found his Eiger triumph twisted to suit their ends, and he himself seated next to Hitler at a party.

When he is not exploring, Damien Gildea lives in Australia.EXCERPTIntroduction Climbing in Antarctica is a special experience that never fails to affect those fortunate enough to do it. For most of Antarctica’s human history this experience was restricted to those who worked as part of national government Antarctic programs, requiring great financial and logistical efforts. Visitors – and in Antarctica we are all visitors – were a small cog in a vast scientific and political machine. The scope and quality of work done by these programs has been incredible and continues to be so, providing us with critical insights into not only Antarctica but also our world as a whole. However, in purely mountaineering terms, the activity of such operations was understandably limited. Mountaineering merely enabled scientific work, with recreational climbing discouraged and usually unrecorded. In the following pages I hope to preserve at least some of those ascents, as often they have proven to be more significant to those involved than the official scientific record may indicate, and they are part of the rich human history of Antarctica that should be recorded for all to enjoy.",,0.0,$2.99,192 Pages,English,Specialty Travel,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/mountaineering-in-antarctica/id973462744?mt=11 928767423,Conquistadors of the Useless,Lionel Terray and Others,Vertebrate Publishing,"Oct 01, 2014","The Perseus Books Group, LLC",From the Alps to Annapurna,"I have given my whole life to the mountains. Born at the foot of the Alps, I have been a ski champion, a professional guide, an amateur of the greatest climbs in the Alps and a member of eight expeditions to the Andes and the Himalayas. If the word has any meaning at all, I am a mountaineer.’ So Terray begins Conquistadors of the Useless not with arrogance, but with typical commitment. One of the most colourful characters of the mountaineering world, his writing is true to his uncompromising and jubilant love for the mountains. Terray was one of the greatest alpinists of his time, and his autobiography is one of the finest and most important mountaineering books ever written. Climbing with legends Gaston Rébuffat, Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal, Terray made first ascents in the Alps, Alaska, the Andes, and the Himalaya. He was at the centre of global mountaineering at a time when Europe was emerging from the shadow of World War II, and he came out a hero. Conquistadors tells of his war-time escapades, of life as an Alpine mountain guide, and of his climbs including the second ascent of the Eiger North Face and his involvement in the first ever ascent of an 8,000-metre peak, Annapurna. His tales capture the energy of French post-war optimism, a time when France needed to re-assert herself and when climbing triumphs were more valued than at any other time in history. Terray’s death, in the Vercors, robbed mountaineering of one of its most passionate and far-sighted figures.

However, by the 1990s this interesting and exhilarating sport became a hobby for even the Average Person. ROCK CLIMBERS need to be perfectly fit, physically, using the muscles in their arms and legs to pull themselves up the challenging rock formations, and mentally, controlling their hands and feet accurately, getting proper grips to get to the top. ROCK CLIMBING is quite dangerous. In fact, it is one of the most dangerous adventure sports. Not only did Rock Climbing gain increasing popularity throughout the world, but with it came a lot of variations as well. The two main branches would be TRADITIONAL ROCK CLIMBING and SPORT CLIMBING.

The emphasis here is on their "golden age" in the 1980s and 1990s when, despite the economic and social baggage of their struggling country, Polish climbers were the first to tackle the world's highest mountains during winter, including the first winter ascents on seven of the world's fourteen 8000-meter peaks: Everest, Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga, Annapurna, and Lhotse. Such successes, however, came at a serious cost: 80 percent of Poland's finest high-altitude climbers died on the high mountains during the same period they were pursuing these first ascents. Award-winning writer Bernadette McDonald addresses the social, political, and cultural context of this golden age, and the hardships of life under Soviet rule. Polish climbers, she argues, were so tough because their lives at home were so tough—they lost family members to World War II and its aftermath and were so much more poverty-stricken than their Western counterparts that they made much of their own climbing gear. While Freedom Climbers tells the larger story of an era, McDonald shares charismatic personal narratives such as that of Wanda Rutkiewicz, expected to be the first woman to climb all 8000-meter peaks until she disappeared on Kanchenjunga in 1992; Jerzy Kukuczka, who died in a fall while attempting the south face of Lhotse; and numerous other renowned climbers including Voytek Kurtyka, Artur Hajzer, Andrej Zawaka, and Krzysztof Wielicki.

There was no glow of city lights on the horizon, no ranger station at the edge of the next valley, no quaint general store, no paved road. There was nothing but space, unbounded and untamed. A brilliant moon lit the blackness crystal clear. Moonshadows of every blade of grass danced silently in the wildness. It was the emptiest, quietest place I had ever been. I threw my arms out wide and spun slowly around and around in the dazzling clarity of the night, the stars blurring into ribbons of light above me."" Mongolia. It was Erika Warmbrunn's dream. To escape deep into parts of Asia inaccessible to tours and guidebooks, to abandon herself to the risks of the unknown. And so, with only a bicycle named Greene for a traveling companion, she set off on an eight month, 8,000 kilometer trek that stretched across the steppes of this ancient land, on through China, and down the length of Vietnam. Freed by Greene's two wheels from the tyranny of discrete points on a map, she found that the true merit of travel was not in the simple seeing, but in flowing with the unexpected adventure or invitation, in savoring the moments in between -- the daily challenges of new words and customs, the tiny triumphs of learning a new way of life, the daunting thrill of never knowing what the next day would bring.

Elle marque toujours fortement ceux qui ont la chance fabuleuse de la vivre. Dans l’histoire de l’homme au pôle Sud, elle a pendant des années été essentiellement réservée à ceux qui travaillent à des programmes scientifiques gouvernementaux et nationaux sur l’Antarctique, disposant de moyens logistiques et financiers énormes. Cependant, et cela va de soi, jusqu’il y a quelques années, l’aspect purement « alpin » de ces explorations restait marginal. L’alpinisme n’était qu’un moyen au service de la science. L’escalade « récréative », elle, était mal vue et le plus souvent ignorée. Dans les pages qui suivent, j’espère préserver la mémoire de certaines de ces ascensions, souvent plus importantes pour ceux qui les ont réalisées qu’elles ne le paraissent au travers des comptes-rendus scientifiques officiels. En tout état de cause, l’alpinisme fait partie intégrante de la riche histoire de l’homme en Antarctique, qui se doit d’être écrite pour le profit du plus grand nombre.Les visiteurs – et en Antarctique nous sommes tous des visiteurs – ne sont que les tout petits pions d’une vaste machine scientifique et politique. Incroyable envergure, admirable qualité du travail accompli jusqu’ici et aujourd’hui encore dans ces recherches !

Everest the Cruel Way is Joe Tasker’s story of an attempt to climb the highest mountain on earth an attempt which pushed a group of Britain’s finest mountaineers to their limits. The goal had been to climb Mount Everest at its hardest: via the infamous west ridge, without supplementary oxygen and in winter. Tasker’s epic account vividly describes experiences which no climber had previously endured. Close up and personal, it is a gripping account of day to day life on expedition and of the struggle to live at high altitude. Joe Tasker was one of Britain’s best mountaineers. He was a pioneer of lightweight, Alpine-style climbing in the Greater Ranges and had a special talent for writing.

He successfully led seven expeditions in the highest Antarctica Mountains, from 2001 to 2008. He is the author of the book entitled Antarctic Mountaineering Chronology, published in 1998, and of detailed topographical maps of the Livingston Island (2004) and Vinson Mountain (2006). His articles and photographs were published in many periodicals around the world, as the American Alpine Journal or the American magazine called Alpinist. He also led a skiing expedition to the South Pole and took part in several expeditions in the Himalayas, in Karakorum and in the Andes. When he is not exploring, Damien Gildea lives in Australia.EXCERPTThe Transantarctic Mountains stretch over 3500 km across the continent and divide it into East and West Antarctica. Consisting of many smaller ranges and mountains, the Transantarctics contain some of Antarctica’s highest mountains and potentially some of its most difficult climbing. Vinson’s stream of Seven Summits climbers provide the financial base for the logistical operation into the Sentinel Range. Without such a desirable commodity, however, the Transantarctics have no such customers and hence no established operation. It can be done, but it costs.Nonetheless, the Transantarctics are certainly not ‘unexplored’, as government scientists and their support personnel from the New Zealand and US programs based at Ross Island have been working in many locations along the range for decades. A number of these scientific parties have travelled to, and within, the range by helicopter, enabling access to very remote locations and often the helicopters have been used to land high on the mountains themselves. Before the advent of helicopters, teams travelled into the nearby ranges by dogsled.

The remaining nine lost their way and ended up on another mountain slope known as Kholat Syakhl (translated at 'Mountain of the Dead' due to the previous deaths that occurred there).

As per its name, the 1971 International Himalayan Expedition (IHE) was unambiguously multi-national, conceived at least in part to demonstrate that nationalistic rivalries could be amicably transcended by the cooperation required in the climbing of Everest. This conception was the brain child of Swiss-American Norman Dyrenfurth, who had already secured a distinguished legacy as leader of the highly successful 1963 American Everest Expedition, and hoped to up the ante by not only the international perspective, but also by attempting two new technical routes on the mountain. Unfavorable weather and strong ego drives thwarted both these objectives−the ego drives being at least as much personal as nationalistic.

Albert Grüner aus Längenfeld in Tirol hat in jungen Jahren zu klettern begonnen, in den Felsen und an den gefrorenen Wasserfällen. Trainiert wurde auf der Dachrinne und im Holzstadel, wo ihm sein Vater die kleinsten Holzleisten montiert hatte: An diesen galt es, mit den Fingern und dem Eispickel so oft wie nur möglich Klimmzüge zu ""pumpen“. Das Gleichgewicht wurde auf den verschieden Brückengeländern im Ort geübt, und es war eine Zeit, in der es noch keine Kletterhallen oder Klettergärten gab. (Grüner war einer von jenen, die an deren Entstehungen mitwirkte.) Die Ziele passten sich den Bergen an - sie wurden immer höher. Marmolada, Civetta, die Drei Zinnen Königsspitze, Eiger, Matterhorn, Walkerpfeiler, Mont Blanc und viele andere Gipfel wurden auf den schwersten Routen begangen. In diesem Werk erzählt Grüner von seinen Erlebnissen in den Bergen.

A történetekből megismerhetjük a hegymászó kalandjait Erdélytől a Himalájáig, az első sziklamászástól a tragédiával végződő legutolsó expedícióig. Az alpinizmus mellett feltárulnak előttünk Ázsia, Afrika és Dél-Amerika egzotikus vidékei, amelyek évtizedek alatt Erőss Zsolt második otthonává váltak. A könyv azonban akkor is lenyűgöző lenne, ha főszereplője ki sem lépett volna a kertjéből. Nem csak azt meséli el, hogyan hódította meg első magyarként a világ legmagasabb csúcsát, hanem azt is, miért nem esett kétségbe egyik lábának elvesztése után, és miért volt egyértelmű számára, hogy folytatnia kell a hegymászást. A neves alpinista kalandjait, életét olyan bölcs eltökéltség hajtotta, amely ötleteket adhat számunkra is, hogyan váltsuk valóra vágyainkat a Föld egy távoli pontján, vagy akár egészen közel. A regényes életrajz írója, Földes András amellett, hogy Erőss Zsolt barátja volt, hegymászó is. Elkísérte őt néhány expedíciójára, hogy belülről mutathassa meg ezt a félelmetes, ugyanakkor lenyűgöző világot. „Ez a derű, ez a megható és naiv elhivatottság volt az, ami népszerűvé tette jóval a hegymászók körein túl is. Megdöbbentem, amikor láttam, a városban járva nemcsak fiatalok, sportemberek ismerik fel, hanem idős asszonyok, öregurak is szorongatják a kezét. Sorsa már nem a hegyekről szólt, hanem arról, hogy mindig van tovább, hogy érdemes küzdeni, hogy van remény. És mindezt hitelesebben közvetítette, mint egy délutáni szappanopera. Nem manír volt csendessége, és hogy közvetlenül, türelmesen viszonyult barátaihoz, hegymászótanítványaihoz, majd később rajongóihoz is. Előadásait ezrek látogatták, mert szavaiból nem saját nagyszerűségének tudata sugárzott, hanem a szeretet az iránt, aminek él. Nem gondolta, hogy valaha tett volna bármit, amivel a többiek fölé kerekedett. Egyszerűen csak élt. Tudta azt is, hogy az élethez hozzátartozik a halál, ezzel lesz kerek a történet. Így most csak annyi történt, hogy Erőss Zsolt teljessé tette életét, felmászott a hegyek közé, és tovább emelkedett a szokásosnál. - Földes András",,0.0,$11.99,436 Pages,Hungarian,Mountaineering,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/eross-zsolt/id874279059?mt=11 396119018,Forever on the Mountain: The Truth Behind One of Mountaineering's Most Controversial and Mysterious Disasters,James M.

A lo largo de toda esta aventura, las experiencias vividas en estas altas cúspides del planeta le van dando respuesta a las grandes preguntas que todos hemos tenido alguna vez. Así, su visión del Universo y de Dios se va transformando con lo cual su vida llena de temores y complejos de la niñez pasa de ser algo preciado que cuidar y atesorar para convertirse en la única oportunidad de explorar y vivir en plenitud.

Then a storm exploded on the mountain, ripping the team to shreds, forcing brave men to scratch and crawl for their lives. Rescuers who reached Weathers saw that he was dying, and left him. Twelve hours later, the inexplicable occurred. Weathers appeared, blinded, gloveless, and caked with ice—walking down the mountain. In this powerful memoir, now featuring a new Preface, Weathers describes not only his escape from hypothermia and the murderous storm that killed eight climbers, but the journey of his life. This is the story of a man’s route to a dangerous sport and a fateful expedition, as well as the road of recovery he has traveled since; of survival in the face of certain death, the reclaiming of a family and a life; and of the most extraordinary adventure of all: finding the courage to say yes when life offers us a second chance.

But No Shortcuts to the Top is as much about the man who would become the first American to achieve that goal as it is about his stunning quest. As Viesturs recounts the stories of his most harrowing climbs, he reveals a man torn between the flat, safe world he and his loved ones share and the majestic and deadly places where only he can go.A preternaturally cautious climber who once turned back 300 feet from the top of Everest but who would not shrink from a peak (Annapurna) known to claim the life of one climber for every two who reached its summit, Viesturs lives by an unyielding motto, “Reaching the summit is optional. Getting down is mandatory.” It is with this philosophy that he vividly describes fatal errors in judgment made by his fellow climbers as well as a few of his own close calls and gallant rescues. And, for the first time, he details his own pivotal and heroic role in the 1996 Everest disaster made famous in Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air.

Squarely athwart the latitudes known to sailors as the roaring forties and furious fifties, Patagonia is a land trapped between angry torrents of sea and sky, a place that has fascinated explorers and writers for centuries. Magellan discovered the strait that bears his name during the first circumnavigation. Charles Darwin traveled Patagonia's windy steppes and explored the fjords of Tierra del Fuego during the voyage of the Beagle. From the novel perspective of the cockpit, Antoine de Saint-Exupry immortalized the Andes in Wind, Sand, and Stars, and a half century later, Bruce Chatwin's In Patagonia earned a permanent place among the great works of travel literature. Yet even today, the Patagonian Andes remain mysterious and remote, a place where horrible storms and ruthless landscapes discourage all but the most devoted pilgrims from paying tribute to the daunting and dangerous peaks. Gregory Crouch is one such pilgrim. In seven expeditions to this windswept edge of the Southern Hemisphere, he has braved weather, gravity, fear, and doubt to try himself in the alpine crucible of Patagonia. Crouch has had several notable successes, including the first winter ascent of the legendary Cerro Torre's West Face, to go along with his many spectacular failures. In language both stirring and lyrical, he evokes the perils of every handhold, perils that illustrate the crucial balance between physical danger and mental agility that allows for the most important part of any climb, which is not reaching the summit, but getting down alive. Crouch reveals the flip side of cutting-edge alpinism: the stunning variety of menial labor one must often perform to afford the next expedition. From building sewer systems during a bitter Colorado winter to washing the plastic balls in McDonalds' playgrounds, Crouch's dedication to the alpine craft has seen him through as many low moments as high summits. He recounts, too, the riotous celebrations of successful climbs, the numbing boredom of forced encampments, and the quiet pride that comes from knowing that one has performed well and bravely, even in failure. Included are more than two dozen color photographs that capture the many moods of this land, from the sublime beauty of the mountains at sunrise to the unrelenting fury of its storms.Enduring Patagonia is a breathtaking odyssey through one of the worldís last wild places, a land that requires great sacrifice but offers great rewards to those who dare to challenge it.",,0.0,$11.99,256 Pages,English,Mountaineering,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/enduring-patagonia/id420796394?mt=11 828313498,Scotland's Mountains Before the Mountaineers,Ian R Mitchell,Luath Press Ltd,"Jan 27, 2014",Midpoint Trade Books,,"Winner of the Outdoor Writers GUld Award for ExcellenceIn this new book on pre-mountaineering ascents and near ascents in the Highlands, we have at last a work which does justice to those who lived and worked, travelled and fought in the Highlands before Walter Scott.

In 1986 Margo Chisholm entered recovery after many years of a life-threatening addiction to alcohol, cocaine and laxatives which nearly destroyed her—physically, mentally, and spiritually. In 1988, healthy and fit once again, she climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro to celebrate her 40th birthday, her sobriety, (and to bring closure to a long-time fascination with high mountains). Standing on the summit of Kilimanjaro, in the cold, clear beauty of sunrise at 19,000 feet, a box of dreams she didn’t know she had exploded and revealed a passion for climbing high mountains. This passion led to the dream of being the first woman to climb the Seven Summits, the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. Spurred by her newborn love affair with the world's loftiest peaks and most beautiful and inaccessible places, Margo met some of the toughest challenges and conditions Nature could provide. Following the invitation of her heart, this ordinary middle-aged woman with no formal mountaineering training and no previous experience took on increasingly greater climbing challenges as she pursued more difficult and dangerous summits. In order to face these outside, physical challenges, Margo also dived deeply into the internal depths and dark places that had hidden behind her addictions for so many years. And somewhere along the way—amid magnificent wildernesses of towering pinnacles and breathtaking, ice-covered vistas—Margo Chisholm realized she had reached a summit deep within herself; a place in the heart and soul where she discovered the pride, fulfillment and inner peace she had always longed for. To The Summit: A Woman’s Journey into the Mountains to Find Her Soul is a vivid telling of an ordinary woman following her dream of climbing all over the world, of her experiences on those climbs and of the life-changing moments that can happen when dreams are pursued.

In Mixed Emotions, Child remembers the mountains, the people, and the episodes that have made me feel my life acutely, including the 1986 K2 tragedy that killed 13 climbers; a near-fatal snakebite in his native Australia; and the loss of climbing partner Pete Thexton. He recalls his associations with world-renowned mountaineers Doug Scott, John Roskelley, Voytek Kurtyka, and Don Whillans. Child also narrates fascinating off-mountain journeys to a secluded Hindu shrine, and the remote, harsh landscape of the Baltoro Glacier, where progress has left its indelible mark. Finally, Child comments on some less tangible aspects of climbing, such as the ghostly presence that accompanies climbers under duress, and the meanings of and inevitable meetings with death.",,0.0,$9.99,272 Pages,English,Mountaineering,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/mixed-emotions/id568396303?mt=11 421129700,No Magic Helicopter,Carol Masheter,EBookIt.com,"Feb 17, 2011","Archieboy Holdings, LLC",An Aging Amazon's Climb of Everest,"When the bottom fell out of Carol Masheter's life at age 50, she took up mountaineering to cope with her grief and anger.

Surely that meant it was a good year to climb Denali?There had been an unprecedented spell of good weather on the peak known as Mt McKinley, one of the Seven Summits, a peak notorious for its severe conditions and cold temperatures that trapped climbers in storms for days on end. This year people were climbing straight up and reaching the summit without a hitch, and coming back down again days ahead of schedule.But it would take two weeks of hauling 30kg sledges while carrying 20kg backpacks before Mark Horrell's team would be in a position to launch an attack on the summit themselves, and they knew these statistics evened themselves out eventually.Would the weather hold, or would they find themselves fighting to survive in the teeth of a storm?This is Mark's account of his expedition to climb Denali's West Buttress as part of a commercial team, and contains lots of useful advice, like not falling asleep while using a pee bottle, how to avoid bonking on the trail, and how to make a sledge travel in the right direction by shouting at it.",,0.0,$1.99,132 Pages,English,Travel & Adventure,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/denali-nights-commercial-expedition/id909489575?mt=11 577030944,"Outdoor Praxis Alpinklettern: Praxiswissen zu Ausrüstung, Technik und Sicherheit am Berg ",Peter Albert,Bruckmann Verlag GmbH,"Apr 17, 2012",GeraNova Bruckmann Verlagshaus GmbH,,"Ab nach draußen – Faszination Alpinklettern Alles, worauf es ankommt beim Alpinklettern: Praxisnahes und anschauliches Profiwissen vom Training bis zur Taktik.

Documenting climbs in the 1980s, at a time when the greatest mountains in the greatest ranges had been climbed by numerous routes, collected like sets of stamps and written about extensively by the world’s leading climbers, Saunders and his companions relished the exploration of the thousands of peaks in the 6000 and 7000 metre range. These slightly humbler, but often more aesthetically satisfying and no less testing summits of the Karakoram and the Himalaya, were ripe fruit for the committed alpinists of the day. Saunders describes four lightweight expeditions to the Karakoram, beginning with Uzum Brakk, or Conway’s Ogre, which he visited in 1980. Along with his two climbing companions, neither of whom he knew at all well, he discovered the serious nature of Karakoram glaciers, and faced up to the violent weather that eventually beat them back on the summit ridge after they had nominally completed their route. The trio interrupted their attempt on Uzum to perform a dramatic rescue of two badly injured Japanese climbers on nearby Latok IV, and this contact led indirectly to Bojohaghur Duanasir, one of the highest unclimbed mountains in Pakistan, which became the object of the North London Mountaineering Club’s attentions in 1982. Here, in the company of such friends and climbing partners as Mick Fowler, the joy of new route finding on an unclimbed 7000-metre peak outweighed the perilous bivouacs and torture by lightening. 1983 offered a rare chance to join Indian climbers on the front line of the Indian-Pakistan border conflict across the Siachen Glacier. The pleasure of solving intricate technical problems with Stephen Venables high above the firing line was brought to an abrupt end by a dropped rucksack which caused an epic descent from just below the then unclimbed summit of Rimo. The fourth expedition was an attempt on the stunning peak of Spantik. First glimpsed from Bojohaghur, this a mountain whose awe-inspiring Golden Pillar, soaring 4000 feet to the summit ridge, demanded attention. Saunders’ ascent in 1987 with Mick Fowler, and subsequent pitch-by-grunt account, proved to be one of the most exciting and difficult ascents of the decade by British alpinists. Saunders communicates the highs and lows of expedition life with relish, good humour, honest trepidation and a keen eye for the idiosyncratic among his companions. Elusive Summits is a wonderful celebration of the sheer exhilaration that comes from the hardest level of alpine-style exploration in the Karakoram.",,0.0,$5.99,300 Pages,English,Mountaineering,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/elusive-summits/id623048125?mt=11 419385400,Phyllis Munday,Kathryn Bridge,Dundurn,"Jan 01, 2002",Dundurn Press Limited,,"In 1924 Phyllis (Phyl) Munday did what no other woman had done before - reached the summit of Mt.

I kicked off my shoes and prepared to climb in stocking feet, aware of an enormous sense of occasion as I laid hands on the rock and stepped up on the first rounded hold. It was not a hard climb but that was unimportant. I felt instinctively at home and at the finish experienced such a surge of happy elation that I knew then I was committed to climbing.’ Martin Boysen’s passion for crags and mountains springs from his deep love of nature and a strong sense of adventure. From his early days on rock as a Kent schoolboy after the war, he was soon among the most gifted climbers of his or any generation, famed for his silky technique. Boysen made a huge contribution to British rock climbing, especially in North Wales; he discovered Gogarth in the 1960s and climbed some of the best new routes of his era: Nexus on Dinas Mot, The Skull on Cyrn Las and the magisterial Capital Punishment on Ogwen’s Suicide Wall. For more than two decades, Boysen was also one of Britain’s leading mountaineers. A crucial member of Sir Chris Bonington’s team that climbed the South Face of Annapurna in 1970, Boysen was also part of Bonington’s second summit team on the South West face of Everest. In 1976 he made the first ascent of Trango Tower with Joe Brown. Along the way, Boysen climbed with some of the most important figures in the history of the sport, not just stars like Bonington and Brown, but those who make climbing so rich and intriguing, like Nea Morin and the brilliant but doomed Gary Hemming. He joined Hamish MacInnes hunting gold in Ecuador, doubled for Clint Eastwood on the North Face of the Eiger and worked on director Fred Zinnemann’s last movie.

Pritchard started climbing in Lancashire before moving to join the vibrant Llanberis scene of the mid 1980s, at a time when the adventurous development of the Dinorwig slate quarries was in full swing. Many of the new slate routes were notable for their fierce technical difficulty and sparse protection, and Pritchard took a full part in this arcane sub-culture of climbing and at the same time deployed his skills on the Anglesey sea cliffs to produce a clutch of equally demanding wall climbs. Born with an adventurous soul, it was not long before Pritchard and his friends were planning exotic trips. In 1987, paired with Johnny Dawes, Pritchard made an epoch-making visit to Scotland's Sron Ulladale to free its famous aid route, The Scoop. Pritchard and Dawes, with no previous high altitude experience, then attempted the Catalan Pillar of Bhagirathi III in the Garwhal Himalaya in India, a precocious first expedition prematurely curtailed when Pritchard was hit by stonefall at the foot of the face. In 1992, Pritchard and Noel Craine teamed up with the alpinists Sean Smith and Simon Yates to climb a big wall route on the East Face of the Central Tower of Paine, Patagonia. Pritchard followed this with an equally fine first ascent of the West Face of Mt Asgard on Baffin Island. Other trips to Yosemite, Pakistan and Nepal as well as returns to Patagonia resulted in a clutch of notable repeats, first ascents and some failures. The failure list also included two life threatening falls (one on Gogarth, the other on Creag Meaghaidh), which prompted the author into thought-provoking personal re-assessments, in advance of his later near-terminal accident on The Totem Pole in Tasmania. A penetrating view of the adventures and preoccupations of a contemporary player, Deep Play stands alone as a unique first-hand account of what many consider to be the last great era in British climbing.",,0.0,$13.99,168 Pages,English,Mountaineering,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/deep-play/id561110881?mt=11 685374098,Hanging By a Thread,Mark Reeves,Snowodnia Mountain Guides,"Aug 07, 2013",Mark Reeves,"The History, Science, Technology and Culture of Rock Climbing and Mountaineering","Essentially an anthology of climbing history, but viewed from the previously unexplored perspective of science and technology.

The book includes all the data on participation of Slovenian alpinists, be it in Slovenian or foreign expeditions. It is written in the author's characteristic lively and interesting style, and the text is richly accompanied with numerous photos. The book's author Viki Grošelj, born on 3 June 1952, is a renowned alpinist, Himalayan climber, mountain rescuer and mountain guide. By profession, he is a PE teacher. As an alpinist, in addition to numerous ascents accomplished in domestic and foreign mountains, he participated in more than thirty expeditions in the mountains outside of Europe. In the Himalayas, he has accomplished eleven ascents to the peaks of ten eight-thousanders. With the exception of Makalu, Everest and Kangchenjunga, he climbed all of the peaks without the use of supplemental oxygen. Although his climbs to eight-thousanders present the core of his alpinism, Grošelj is also the first Slovenian who has climbed the highest peaks of all continents. In addition to his projects 8000+ and Highest Peaks of the Continents, he completed his third alpinistic project On the Skis from 0 to over 8000 Metres, on which he had worked for thirty years. Grošelj is the author of fourteen books and a co-author of more than twenty, including Seven Summits by the British publisher Mitchell Beazley in 2000, and Die Grossen Wände by the German publishing house BLW in the same year - two books which particularly celebrate the Slovenian alpinism and its achievements globally. He has published many articles in Slovenian and foreign magazines and newspapers. He was twice a member of the team that received the Bloudek Award (1975 and 1979). He was also a member of the team who were awarded the national Gold Star of Merit and selected for the best sports team of Yugoslavia for their climb to Everest in 1979. He won the Bloudek Plaque in 1984. Grošelj also won the Alpine Association of Slovenia Award for the Most Successful Alpine Skier in 2001. He received it for his descent from the 8201 metre high Cho Oyu. In 2001, he initiated the establishment of the Slovenian section of Mountain Wilderness International, an international association that fights to protect the unspoiled mountain nature at home and abroad, and to protect and preserve the natural heritage in the mountains, especially the last remaining pristine mountain wilderness. From 2001 to 2004 he also acted as its Secretary General. In May 2002, the President of the Republic of Slovenia, Milan Kučan, awarded Grošelj with the Honorary Order of Freedom of the Republic of Slovenia for outstanding alpinist accomplishments, important for the promotion of Slovenia in the world, and especially for his work with youth and his contribution in mountain rescue. In 2005, Grošelj led and coordinated the successful rescue mission for Tomaž Humar in the south face of the Pakistan's eight-thousander Nanga Parbat. In 2009, the Alpine Association of Slovenia awarded him with a special recognition for the dedication shown in coordinating the most demanding rescue missions for members of the Alpine Association of Slovenia in the Himalayas. In the years between 2005 and 2013, Grošelj prepared a documentary TV series in collaboration with TV Slovenia - Giants of the Himalayas, in which he presented the fourteen mountains of our planet which are more than 8000 metres high, and the history of the ascents to their peaks.",,0.0,$9.99,248 Pages,English,Mountaineering,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/giants-of-the-himalayas/id1002387786?mt=11 1010500866,In Some Lost Place,Sandy Allan,Vertebrate Publishing,"Jul 08, 2015","The Perseus Books Group, LLC",The first ascent of Nanga Parbats Mazeno Ridge,"In the summer of 2012, a team of six climbers set out to attempt the first ascent of one of the great unclimbed lines of the Himalaya the giant Mazeno Ridge on Nanga Parbat, the world’s ninth highest mountain. At ten kilometres in length, the Mazeno is the longest route to the summit of an 8,000-metre peak. Ten expeditions had tried and failed to climb this enormous ridge. Eleven days later two of the team, Sandy Allan and Rick Allen, both in their late fifties, reached the summit. They had run out of food and water and began hallucinating wildly from the effects of altitude and exhaustion. Heavy snow conditions meant they would need another three days to descend the far side of the killer mountain’. I began to wonder whether what we were doing was humanly possible. We had climbed the Mazeno and reached the summit, but we both knew we had wasted too much energy. In among the conflicting emotions, the exhaustion and the elation, we knew our bodies could not sustain this amount of time at altitude indefinitely, especially now we had no water.

Tiefpunkt war Anfang März 2012, als der Steirer Gerfried Göschl bei dem Versuch, als erster Mensch einen Achttausender im Winter über eine neue Route zu besteigen und zu überschreiten, starb. Gerfried Göschl war eine Ausnahmeerscheinung im Höhenbergsteigen - und zwar nicht allein aufgrund seiner Leistungen, sondern vor allem wegen seiner Persönlichkeit und Kreativität. Von Beginn seiner Laufbahn als Bergsteiger trug er den persönlichen Nutzen und Wert des Bergsteigens nach außen und gab ihn weiter: Kindern vermittelte der ausgebildete Pädagoge über das Bergsteigen Selbstvertrauen und Selbstwertgefühl. Als Expeditionsorganisator schaffte er es, in dem häufig von Egozentrikern und Einzelkämpfern dominierten Feld des Spitzenalpinismus schlagkräftige Teams zu formieren, in denen jeder entsprechend seiner Stärken optimal wirken konnte.

Indeed, Hall attempted to climb the mountain during a deadly season in which eleven people perished. And he was, in fact, pronounced dead, after collapsing from altitude sickness. Two Sherpas spent hours trying to revive him, but as darkness fell, word came via radio from the expedition's leader that they should descend in order to save themselves. The news of Hall's death traveled rapidly from mountaineering websites to news media around the world, and ultimately to his family back in Australia. Early the next morning, however, an American guide, climbing with two clients and a Sherpa, was startled to find Hall sitting cross-legged on a sharp crest of the summit ridge. In this page-turning account of survival against all odds, Hall chronicles in fascinating detail the days and nights that led up to his fateful night in Mount Everest's ""death zone."" His story is all the more miraculous given his climbing history. Hall had been part of Australia's first attempt to reach the top of Everest in 1984 but had not done any major climbing for many years, having set aside his passion in order to support his family. While others in the team achieved their dream during this 1984 expedition, Hall was forced to turn back due to illness. Thus, his triumph in reaching the summit at the age of fifty is a story unto itself.

On 1 August 2008 Ger McDonnell became the first Irish person to reach the summit of K2 as part of the Norit K2 team. But neither Ger nor the other climbers knew that below them an avalanche had swept away their ropes. Joy soon turned to dismay for the McDonnell family waiting at home as Ger’s status on Norit’s website, ‘Gerard McDonnell status unknown’, remained unchanged for what seemed like an eternity. The descent witnessed one of the worst tragedies in recent climbing history. Echoing Ger’s final message before he set off for the summit, The Time Has Come pieces together the details of what happened that fateful day and recounts stories from Ger’s remarkable life, from his childhood in Limerick and his move to Alaska to his love of music and of climbing. Using eyewitness accounts, countless hours of interviews with surviving climbers, family, friends and others involved, photographic research and Ger’s own writings, a compelling story of bravery and heroism in the face of terrible odds emerges.

While the interest in My Life at the Limit is that it exposes much more of the man than his climbing career, that career is still utterly remarkable--and Mountaineers Books is proud to present this book, which is core to our mission, to audiences across North America.",,0.0,$9.99,251 Pages,English,Mountaineering,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/reinhold-messner-my-life-at/id937805770?mt=11 630987065,Fall of the Phantom Lord,Andrew Todhunter,Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group,"Aug 03, 1998","Random House, LLC",Climbing and the Face of Fear,"In 1989, while attempting a new route on a difficult overhanging rock face, climber Dan Osman fell. Again and again, protected by the rope, he fell. He decided then that it would not be in climbing but in falling that he would embrace his fear--bathe in it, as he says, and move beyond it.A captivating exploration of the daredevil world of rock climbing, as well as a thoughtful meditation on the role of risk and fear in the author's own life.In the tradition of the wildly popular man-versus-nature genre that has launched several bestsellers, Andrew Todhunter follows the lives of world-class climber Dan Osman and his coterie of friends as he explores the extremes of risk on the unyielding surface of the rock.Climbing sheer rock faces of hundreds or thousands of feet is more a religion than a sport, demanding dedication, patience, mental and physical strength, grace, and a kind of obsession with detail that is crucial just to survive. Its artists are modern-day ascetics who often sacrifice nine-to-five jobs, material goods, and the safety of everyday life to pit themselves and their moral resoluteness against an utterly unforgiving opponent.In the course of the two years chronicled in Fall of the Phantom Lord, the author also undertakes a journey of his own as he begins to weigh the relative value of extreme sports and the risk of sudden death. By the end of the book, as he ponders joining Osman on a dangerous fall from a high bridge to feel what Osman experiences, Todhunter comes to a new understanding of risk taking and the role it has in his life, and in the lives of these climbers.Beautifully written, Fall of the Phantom Lord offers a fascinating look at a world few people know.

He showed his black-sheep tendencies when, after graduating from Yale University, he rode the rails to come back West, where he worked in Central Washington orchards and on a highway crew at Chinook Pass. Later he became a skilled lawyer, a champion of civil and environmental causes, and president of King Broadcasting, the communications empire built by his mother, Dorothy Stimson Bullitt. While he was always drawn to the mountains, it wasn’t until Bullitt reached his 50s and 60s that he sought challenges on North America’s formidable peaks, including Denali and Mount Rainier. Not until he was 70 did he take up rock climbing, but it became a match and foil for his passions and, at times, his inner demons. Illusion Dweller, named after a particularly hard-earned and difficult climb (5.10b) at Joshua tree, is Bullitt’s climbing memoir, published posthumously and based on his own detailed manuscript.

By 1953 Sherpa Tenzing Norgay stood on the summit of Everest, and the coolies had become the ""Tigers of the Snow.""Jonathan Neale's absorbing new book is both a compelling history of the oft-forgotten heroes of mountaineering and a gripping account of the expedition that transformed the Sherpas into climbing legends. In 1934 a German-led team set off to climb the Himalayan peak of Nanga Parbat, the ninth highest mountain on earth. After a disastrous assault in 1895, no attempt had been made to conquer the mountain for thirty-nine years. The new Nazi government was determined to prove German physical superiority to the rest of the world. A heavily funded expedition was under pressure to deliver results. Like all climbers of the time, they did not really understand what altitude did to the human body. When a hurricane hit the leading party just short of the summit, the strongest German climbers headed down and left the weaker Germans and the Sherpas to die on the ridge. What happened in the next few days of death and fear changed forever how the Sherpa climbers thought of themselves. From that point on, they knew they were the decent and responsible people of the mountain.Jonathan Neale interviewed many old Sherpa men and women, including Ang Tsering, the last man off Nanga Parbat alive in 1934. Impeccably researched and superbly written, Tigers of the Snow is the compelling narrative of a climb gone wrong, set against the mountaineering history of the early twentieth century, the haunting background of German politics in the 1930s, and the hardship and passion of life in the Sherpa valleys.",,0.0,$7.99,250 Pages,English,Mountaineering,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/tigers-of-the-snow/id422597509?mt=11 717855562,Savage Arena,Joe Tasker & Chris Bonington,Vertebrate Publishing,"Oct 01, 2013","The Perseus Books Group, LLC",,"I could never again maintain that I was caught up in this game unwillingly. I knew now what I wanted to do. Willingly would I accept the hardship and fear, the discipline and the sacrifices, if only I could be given back the chance to climb that mountain.’ Joe Tasker lies, struck down by a tooth abscess, in a damp, bug-infested room in the Himalaya, wondering if he will be well enough to climb Dunagiri, his first venture to the big’ mountains. He is there with Dick Renshaw to attempt to make a two-man ascent of the Peak one of the first true Alpine-style expeditions to the Greater Ranges; an attempt that forms part of this tale of adventure in the savage vertical arena of hostile mountains. Joe Tasker was one of Britain’s foremost mountaineers. A pioneer of lightweight mountaineering and a superbly gifted writer, in Savage Arena he vividly describes his participation in the first British winter ascent of the North Face of the Eiger; his first ascent of the West Wall of Changabang with Peter Boardman considered to be a preposterous plan by the established climbing world; the first ascent of the North Ridge of Kangchenjunga; and his two unsuccessful attempts to climb K2, the second highest mountain in the world. This is a story of single-minded determination, strength and courage in a pursuit which owes much of its value and compulsion to the risks entailed risks which often stimulate superlative performances. It is also a story of the stresses, strains and tensions of living in constant anxiety, often with only one other person, for long periods in which one is never far from moments of terror, and of the close and vital human relationships which spring from those circumstances. It is a moving, exciting and inspirational book about the adventuring spirit which seeks endless new climbing challenges to face, alluring problems to solve and difficulties to overcome, for it is not reaching the summit which is important, but the journey to it. Joe Tasker and Peter Boardman died on Everest in 1982, while attempting a new and unclimbed line. Both men were superb mountaineers and talented writers. Tasker’s first book, Everest the Cruel Way, was first published in 1981. Savage Arena, his second book, was completed just before he left for Everest. Both books have become mountaineering classics. The literary legacy of Tasker and Boardman lives on through the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature, established by family and friends in 1983 and presented annually to the author or co-authors of an original work which has made an outstanding contribution to mountain literature.

Certainly you know his name. If you have been on a trail since 1959 the chances are good you have heard of him, very possibly a tale about him. Without question the best-known inhabitant of the White Mountains in this century was Joseph Brooks Dodge, Huts Manager of the Appalachian Mountain Club, Pinkham Notch, New Hampshire. He became a legend during his lifetime. The legend has grown in the years since his death.” Here is the first book to tell about that legend thanks to Bill Putnam’s long and intimate friendship with Joe Dodge, and his numerous anecdotes which make this remarkable man come to life. Joe himself tells much of the story in his colorful and often blunt speech. Joe Dodge managed the far flung AMC Hut System, running from Lonesome Lake to Evans Notch, each hut providing food, shelter, and sleeping quarters for hikers. In addition he founded the Mount Washington Observatory because he was interested in weather and realized the importance of establishing a permanent year-round outpost on the highest peak in northeast North America. He was also a public servant of the community where he lived. Joe Dodge was a builder, too — of huts located miles from the nearest habitations or highways. Just as important, he was a builder of public awareness that these huts and all outdoors belonged to and must be open to the public. He was also an educator who shared with all his wisdom, his knowledge, and his zest for learning.

Here, the celebrated mountaineer records his expeditions since 1990. Despite work and family commitments, he has maintained a regular series of big trips’ to challenging objectives around the world with a sequence of major successes: Taweche (1995, with Pat Littlejohn), Changabang (1997, with Steve Sustad, Andy Cave and Brendan Murphy), Arwa Tower (1999, with Sustad), Mount Kennedy (2000, with Cave), Siguniang (2002, with Paul Ramsden). Siguniang’s hard ice climbing on a fabulous face in deepest China was so admired by the international climbing community that it won the US Golden Piton’ and the French Piolet d’Or’, both awards given for the finest alpine achievements in the world during that year. The author describes his travels in the great traditions, with engaging modesty and wit, but the climbs themselves are frequently so dramatic that the anxiety and tension forces its way to the surface to be matched by a corresponding relief and triumph when success and safe descent is achieved. Mick Fowler has thus become Britain’s most successful exponent of high-standard lightweight mountaineering in the greater ranges. At 48 he is already something of an elder statesman of a cadre of international activists. They are steadily ticking off the most challenging lines in the world a golden age’ of super-alpinism that is now in full swing. How this influences activities on the 8000m peaks where the dangers (rarefied air, weather severity and sheer scale) are greater is an open question. History suggests that as major challenges on the lower peaks are steadily mastered the focus will return to technical challenges offered at the higher altitudes. Whether the results will exceed achievements such as the Kurtyka/Schauer (Gasherbrum 4) and the Bohigas/Lucas (Annapurna 1) remains to be seen. The combination of exotic travel with major climbs provides the ultimate adrenalin-soaked holiday experience that Mick Fowler has mastered to the full. We are transported from the cliffs of Jordan, to remote peaks in deepest Asia, via Taweche and Changabang in the Himalaya, with jaunts to the Andes and Alaska thrown in for good measure. That Fowler has organised this routine for years, while holding down a conventional nine-to-five job with the Inland Revenue, has constantly amazed his peers.

While many consider Antarctica a flat land of snow and ice, Queen Maud Land offers steep rock spires jutting out of the horizontal ice, all sharp summits, blank faces and ridges at crazy angles. They are not as high as the Sentinel Range, nor as deeply hidden as the central Transantarctics, but they are real climbing – narrow, steep, technical and cold.The Orvinfjella is the most famous and popular area, consisting of the smaller ranges of Fenriskjeften (‘wolf’s jaw’) Massif, the Holtedahlfjella and Conradfjella. East of here is the Wohlthat massif where less climbing has been done.

Vertical Pleasure begins with Fowler’s early teenage years on easy British rock and Swiss 4000m peaks under the guidance of his father. A frenzied spell follows, with climbing worked in around jobs, discos and girlfriends before Fowler takes a job at the tax office and settles in London. Long-distance drives in clapped out mini-vans see him tackle new winter routes in the Scottish Highlands, always managing to return for work on Monday mornings. He dodges vomiting fulmars, sinking boats and over-enthusiastic policemen in the pursuit of first-ascents on remote sea-stacks and crumbling coastal cliffs, and tackles Alpine testpieces as he develops into one of Britain’s finest mountaineers. Along the way, the sport of chalk-climbing is born on the White Cliffs of Dover and a burst and frozen water pipe allows the first winter ascent of St Pancras station in London.

His love for the mountains and great outdoors started as a boy growing up in Wyoming. Weekends were often spent in the Wyoming hills and mountains hunting Indian artifacts or catching trout. Climbing always interested him, but for most of his life he never considered becoming a mountain climber. But as he commuted to his job in Boulder, Colorado, one beautiful and huge mountain greeted him each day – Longs Peak. The dormant desire to climb mountains came alive. A goal was set to climb Longs Peak. This was an especially challenging goal as Carl was still recovering from kidney cancer. Together with his rehabilitation specialist, plans were made to climb Longs Peak. With a significant amount of physical conditioning, Carl stood on the summit of this great Colorado 14er. A passion to climb mountains was born. In the summer of 2009, Carl put work on the backburner to focus on mountain climbing. Ten mountains were selected. He had two primary goals for the Summer of Climbing -- first, to summit each mountain. Second to look for the defining moment of each climb and then to develop life lessons around the defining moments. The Result is Reaching New Heights, A Summer of Climbing. Join Carl as he climbs. Experience the thrill, pain and sense of accomplishment as he works his way to the summit. Then spend time in reflecting on the defining moments and the lessons he learned.

When a resurgent Phil Mickelson won the Tour Championship in September 2009, he was quick to credit a series of simple putting lessons from veteran golf champion and instructor Dave Stockton. As a top coach, Stockton has taught a long list of pro players-including Annika Sorenstam, Yani Tseng (winner of four LPGA tournaments), Adam Scott (Texas Open champion), Hunter Mahan (Phoenix Open champion), and Morgan Pressel (World Ladies Championship of Japan winner)-the putting strategies that finessed their game.Stockton's breakthrough concept is that every player has their own Signature Stroke, which is unconscious. Good putting comes from the mind, Stockton says, not from a series of stiff mechanical positions. With visualization, the right frame of mind, an efficient pre-putt routine, and connection to the individual internal stroke signature, any player can make far more putts. Putting has always been taught as an offshoot to the full swing, when in reality it is far different- almost a different game. Unconscious Putting will help players get out of the rigid, mechanical, overthinking trap.In Unconscious Putting, Stockton shows how players at every handicap level-from pros to weekend golfers-can putt effortlessly and with confidence by integrating a new mental approach with a few simple physical routines that will keep them locked on target. Readers will also gain invaluable advice on reading greens and equipment. Illustrated throughout and filled with anecdotes about how Stockton's lessons have helped today's leading players, Unconscious Putting is a must-have golf book and a category classic-in-the-making.",4.60221,4.5,$18.99,112 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/unconscious-putting/id440416039?mt=11 584325232,Sandy Parr at the 19th Hole,Mohamed Noorani,Xlibris,"Nov 17, 2012","Author Solutions, Inc.",,"When Mohamed Noorani writes, he uses the nom de plume of Sandy Parr. Sandy Parr writes mostly on golf. He loves golf, but he is not the typical, ardent, or fanatic golfer who habitually watches the World Golf Ranking. Instead, Sandy spends his time writhing and agonising just to understand why the incorrigible weekend golfers (including him) find it so hard to shave off their handicap. He never pretends that he has the answer, or is even near to it. Nonetheless, he knows from observation that the touring pros are way ahead of the weekend golf nuts, simply because of their prowess in reaching the greens in regulation, their superiority in the delicate chipping and pitching shots, and their confidence in putting. In other words, the pros are superior in everything. This book is a compilation of what Sandy Parr had noted about golf as seen from the eyes of a weekend golfer. Sandy would advise that the easiest shots to shave off your score are found in the short game. Chipping, pitching, and putting dont require tremendous swing speed or physical ability. Plus, they can be practiced in your backyard or living room. Having a reliable tee shot that land in the fairway is important as well. Finding the short grass off the tee is much more important than distance, especially for high handicappers.",,0.0,$4.99,252 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/sandy-parr-at-the-19th-hole/id584325232?mt=11 912743287,Activity Guide Gardasee,Eugen E.

Anything could happen, take it easy, take no risks. Just get to the finish and win. The challenge and anticipation that pushes me to try harder. The obsessive urge to achieve. It’s not all about winning. Why do I do it?’ Growing up in Bristol, Heather Dawe was 17 when she started running. Having fallen in to the teenage trap of smoking and drinking she resolved to do something about it, not knowing then where it would take her. A climber since her youth, an obsession with wild places and the mountains was engrained in her DNA. Moving to Leeds to study, she began to compete in fell races and mountain marathons, joking in the pub one night that she could race at the highest level. Being hit by a car doing over 40mph while cycling would have ended many athletes’ dreams, but Dawe’s drive pushed her even harder. Hard enough to make her pub joke a reality, hard enough to win Elite Mountain Marathons, to win the Three Peaks Cyclo-cross race and to complete the Bob Graham Round. Pushing harder still, she entered the Tour Divide racing the 2745-mile route of the Continental Divide in North America as she to sought to discover her physical and emotional limits. Dawe writes of what it takes to compete in adventure races; the training, the sacrifice, the mistakes that must be made in order to learn and develop.

Joseph S.F. Murdoch First published in 1928, Charles Blair Macdonald's Scotland's Gift is arguably the most important book ever written on early American golf. Macdonald, known as the father of golf course architecture, nearly single-handedly elevated American golf to world-class status when he built his masterpiece, National Golf Links of America on Long Island. Macdonald, instrumental in the rise of American golf, chronicles how golf grew from being a little-known Scottish oddity with a mere handful of American courses in 1890 and spread like wild fire to some 4,000 courses by 1927. Macdonald captures the drama surrounding the U.S.G.A.'s early days, and how it unified a game once on the perilous verge of splintering into myriad forms and factions. This classic volume is also a seminal work on golf course design. Macdonald shares his theories on golf course architecture, and how he successfully- though amid great controversy-transplanted classic holes of the British Isles to American soil. Macdonald also details the creations of the National Golf Links of America as well as his other masterstrokes including Yale University, Chicago Golf Club and Mid Ocean in Bermuda.

Even if – with brute force – you did eventually pull the arm down it is far more difficult, isn’t it?This is just a simple demonstration of how what we visualise impacts on what we can physically achieve.In your golf game there are frequent situations during play when what you are brooding on; your inner-self-talk and visualisation can result in a great game or a mediocre game or even – unfortunately – a disastrous game!Which would you rather have?In this e-book I’ve taken 7 questions golfers often ask about how to handle – or rather eliminate – the negative outcomes their thoughts can have on their game.Enjoy reading – and discovering – how you can unleash your true golfing potential.",,0.0,$1.99,33 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/unleash-your-true-golfing/id619391279?mt=11 939390587,Secrets Of Consistent Golf Swing,Hendrik Germain,Ecom Crest,"Nov 09, 2014",Ecom Crest,Creating A Perfect Golf Swing,"Rather than rushing into a game of golf, this book teaches you how to develop an understanding of what to do, how to do it and practice your plan until it becomes routine.

W. Norton & Company,"Nov 09, 2015",288 Pages,,"The life and death-defying feats of Alex Honnold, a visionary climber of the sort that comes along only once in a generation.Only a few years ago, Alex Honnold was little known beyond a small circle of hardcore climbers. Today, at the age of thirty, he is probably the most famous adventure athlete in the world. In that short time, he has proven his expertise in many styles of climbing and has shattered speed records, pioneered routes, and won awards within each discipline. More spectacularly still, he has pushed the most extreme and dangerous form of climbing far beyond the limits of what anyone thought was possible.Free soloing, Honnold’s specialty, is a type of climbing performed without a rope, a partner, or hardware—such as pitons, nuts, or cams—for aid or protection. The results of climbing this way are breathtaking, but the stakes are ultimate: if you fall, you die.In Alone on the Wall, Honnold recounts the seven most astonishing climbing achievements so far in his meteoric and still-evolving career. He narrates the drama of each climb, along with reflective passages that illuminate the inner workings of his highly perceptive and discerning mind. We share in the jitters and excitements he feels waking in his van (where he lives full time) before a climb; we see him self-criticize in his climbing journal (a veritable bible for students of the sport); and we learn his secrets to managing fear—his most enviable talent. Veteran climber and award-winning author David Roberts writes part of each chapter in his own voice, and he calls on other climbers and the sport’s storied past to put Alex's tremendous accomplishments in perspective.Whenever Honnold speaks in public, he is asked the same two questions: ""Aren't you afraid you're going to die?"" and ""Why do you do this?"" Alone on the Wall takes us around the world and through the highs and lows in the life of a climbing superstar to answer those fascinating questions. Honnold's extraordinary life, and his idiosyncratic worldview, have much to teach us about risk, reward, and the ability to maintain a singular focus, even in the face of extreme danger.",,0.0,,English,English,Mountaineering,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/alone-on-the-wall/id967634783?mt=11 440951659,Mastering The Finer Details Of Golf,Michael Woods,BT Elite Publishers LLC.,"Jul 08, 2011",BT Holdings LLC (DBA: BT Elite),,"If you really want to get your golf game sorted once and for all, you need the advice the most highly paid golf experts use, and this is what this book will give you.

During the next thirty years citizens could travel freely if they had the money. Most did not, but alpinists did.Through elaborate training régimes and state-supported expeditions abroad, Yugoslavian alpinists began making impressive climbs in the Himalaya as early as 1960. By the ’70s, they were ascending the 8000ers. These teams were dominated by Slovenian climbers, since their region includes the Julian Alps, a fiercely steep range of limestone peaks that provided the ideal training ground.After Tito died in 1980, however, the calm ended. Interethnic conflict and economic decline ripped Yugoslavia apart. But Serbian strongman Slobodan Milošević misread the courage and character of several Yugoslavian states, including Slovenia, and by 1991 Slovenia was independent.The new country continued its support for climbers, and success bred success. By 1995, all of the 8000ers had been climbed by Slovenian teams. And in the next ten years, some of the most dramatic and futuristic climbs were made by these ferocious alpinists.

The one person who took an interest in him was Father Martin, a Benedictine monk who understood the loneliness of an orphan’s life. He instilled in Ross an enduring love of two solitary, reliable pursuits: golf and books. Over the years, and through the loss of his beloved mentor, Ross comes to rely on these trustworthy tools, sure that they will never abandon him.As an adult and a college professor of literature, Ross encounters two people who will challenge and forever change his life: Julia, the student who opens his heart only to make him feel more vulnerable than ever, and Johnny Durocher, a spit-fire new professor–and terrifically talented golfer–who becomes Ross’s first true friend. Durocher’s one serious dream is to play the amateur tournament on the Old Course at Saint Andrews, but when an unforeseen tragedy keeps Johnny from playing, Ross must make the boldest decision of his life. As he travels to Scotland to confront his failures and fears, Ross embraces his wonder of the ancient game and plays a round of golf in honor of his friend, and the boy he used to be.With characteristic poignancy and style that have earned Don J.

His stunning performance electrified the golf world and showcased a swing that has endured as a model of good mechanics, rhythm, and repeatability. In The Timeless Swing, Watson draws on all the knowledge and expertise he has accumulated over the course of his extraordinary career, imparting lessons that will help golfers of any age play to the best of their abilities and enjoy the game more. From fundamentals like learning the proper grip to advanced shotmaking techniques such as swinging in wind, he breaks down the full swing into all its parts and explains with his trademark easy voice the most effective ways for mastering each. Watson complements these lessons with time-tested drills and also offers a variety of tips and exercises to help golfers continue to swing well as they get older. And for the first time ever, he reveals the two key concepts he considers the most important of all—concepts that can enable players of all levels to attain a timeless swing. The Timeless Swing is illustrated with stunning photographs by award-winning Golf Digest photographer Dom Furore, and Watson carefully draws the reader’s eye to what is essential in each photo, providing the kind of easy-to-understand guidance usually found only in private lessons. With a foreword by Jack Nicklaus and archival highlights of Tom Watson’s most memorable shots and tournaments, this is an indispensable guide from a consummate teacher and one of the most respected and admired players in the game.Special Bonus for this multimedia eBook edition: Each chapter includes an embedded, instantly viewable video of Tom Watson teaching key lessons.",3.8797,4.0,$24.99,224 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/timeless-swing-embedded-videos/id394348968?mt=11 844570026,Silent Mind Golf,Robin Sieger & Tony Jacklin,Aurum Press Ltd,"Apr 01, 2012",Quayside Publishing Group,How to Empty Your Mind and Play Golf Instinctively,"Imagine being able to achieve the perfect mental state to make your best possible swing over every shot - stepping up fearlessly, with an inner calm that allows you to play great golf every time you stand over the ball.Now, Robin Sieger, a lifelong golfer who also happens to be one of the world's leading motivational speakers, removes the mystery behind the mental prowess that lies at the heart of peak performance.Too often golfers concentrate all their efforts on technique, in the belief that it is only the mechanics of the game they need to master.

Staged at the Medinah Country Club just outside of Chicago, the 2012 event has already gone down as the most remarkable competition in its 85-year history. The American team had home advantage, and a golf course unapologetically set up to suit its own players. Supported by tens of thousands of loud and proud fans, the USA's star-studded line-up dominated the first two days and ended the Saturday with a seemingly unassailable 10-6 advantage. No away team had ever won the Ryder Cup from such an unpromising position. Sunday was singles day, traditionally the forte of American teams. The situation looked bleak, especially when European team member and number 1 golfer in the world, Rory McIlroy, very nearly missed his tee-off time. Yet slowly but surely, the European team - who had top-loaded their line-up in one last throw of the dice - started to turn the scoreboard blue. With inspirational captain Jose Maria Olazabal stiring European blood with thoughts of the late Ryder Cup magician Seve Ballesteros (whose silhouette was emblazoned on the players' sweaters and bags), the tide turned and the previously dominant American players started to crumble in the face of the onslaught. Suddenly European players were holing miraculous putts to win holes out of the blue. Something very special was happening. When German Martin Kaymer sank his putt on the eighteenth green to clinch the point that retained the Ryder Cup, the most astonishing comeback in the event's long and distinuished history was complete.

He roared past a who’s who of top golfers that day to win his sixth Masters title—a record that still exists. Most experts agree that it was the most thrilling day of tournament golf ever played. Upon the twenty-fifth anniversary of arguably the most exciting Masters in history, THE 1986 MASTERS is nearly a hole-by-hole account written by a veteran sports journalist who was there. Illustrated with more than fifty exclusive photographs of the tournament from the award-winning team at the Augusta Chronicle, it takes you right onto the course with the golfers. Author John Boyette includes commentary from interviews with the key figures connected to the 1986 Masters. From Nicklaus's wife and son to CBS announcers to the players themselves—Greg Norman, Tom Kite, Bernhard Langer, Sandy Lyle, Seve Ballesteros, and many more—an amazing chorus of voices that helps tell this remarkable story. And the voice of Jack Nicklaus shines as well, in an interview provided exclusively for the book. A thoroughly absorbing narrative about one of golf's greatest moments created by one of golf's greatest figures, THE 1986 MASTERS is a must-read for any golf fan.",,0.0,$13.99,176 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/1986-masters/id908650341?mt=11 594506101,2013 JR Golf Lesson Plans,Graham Cunningham,Graham Cunningham,"Jan 17, 2013",Graham Cunningham,A Guide to the Cirriculum,Welcome to the 2013 junior golf lesson plan manual.

The answer is identical swing tempo. This startling discovery was made by John Novosel as he studied film footage of the PGA greats. He was searching for the key that made their swings so effortless and powerful, and he found out that nearly every champion demonstrated the same tempo in their swings, a common ratio between takeaway and downswing. His breakthrough book, Tour Tempo, published by Doubleday in 2004, was an instant classic, an international best-seller and has been translated into Japanese and Spanish language editions. Its central argument -- that tempo, the most important fundamental of the golf swing, can be learned quickly and easily without expensive lessons or exhaustive practice -- is now accepted by swing coaches at every level of the game. Tour Tempo's premises have been validated by an Independent Scientific Study performed by the Departments of Physics and Biomechanics at Yale University. The Titleist Performance Institute has also confirmed our research. The book included instructional videos and the now famous Tour Tempo Tones. These gave golfers what they have been searching for all these years- immediate and dramatic improvement. And now over 100,000 golfers worldwide, from beginners through Major Championship winners on the PGA Tour, have immediately and dramatically improved their games by using Tour Tempo. But Tour Tempo, now in its 11th printing, covered only the full-swing shots. Now Team Novosel and John Garrity are back with a sequel devoted to the short game -- the putts, chips, greenside pitches and bunker shots that make up the majority of strokes played in a round of golf. Tour Tempo 2 includes a download link to the new Tour Tempo short-game tones and the videos that explain exactly how to incorporate them into your golf game. Simply by practicing to the short-game tones, the weekend golfer can master the correct rhythm in minutes. Got the dreaded ""yips"" with your putter or chipping club? TT2 has the cure. Can't hit those short game shots from 40 to 60 yards? TT2 gives you the feel for the tournament player's favorite stroke saver. Terrified of greenside bunker shots? TT2 reveals the tempo secret that makes sand play so easy for tour pros. Tour Tempo 2 is more than a short-game tutorial. The full swing is explored in several chapters that pick up where the first book left off, including a cutting edge revelation - about how you can combine Physics and Tour Tempo to achieve a consistently powerful golf swing that you might never have thought possible!

He successfully led seven expeditions in the highest Antarctica Mountains, from 2001 to 2008. He is the author of the book entitled Antarctic Mountaineering Chronology, published in 1998, and of detailed topographical maps of the Livingston Island (2004) and Vinson Mountain (2006). His articles and photographs were published in many periodicals around the world, as the American Alpine Journal or the American magazine called Alpinist. He also led a skiing expedition to the South Pole and took part in several expeditions in the Himalayas, in Karakorum and in the Andes. When he is not exploring, Damien Gildea lives in Australia.EXCERPTThis is the most popular and accessible part of Antarctica, and arguably the most beautiful. To many people the Antarctic Peninsula, with its icebergs, penguins, seals, whales, snowy peaks, and glaciers dropping into the sea, is Antarctica. No longer unexplored, the Peninsula now draws tourists and other adventurers due to its great natural beauty, a melding of mountains and sea, of rock and ice, of twilight, colour and warmth, far from the vast monochrome inland.The early years of exploration in the Peninsula region mainly consisted of commercial trips by sealers and whalers, with geographical discovery a secondary aim. The first party to visit the Antarctic for purely geographical exploration was Adrien de Gerlache’s 1897-99 Belgica expedition. Their ship became trapped in pack ice and they were thus the first people to spend a winter in Antarctica. The expedition not only included a young Roald Amundsen, who would later return south for the Pole and greater glory, but also Frederick Cook who was the ship’s doctor. Cook, part of a long and continuing tradition of dishonest polar adventurers, would gain notoriety for making fraudulent claims to have reached both the North Pole first and to have made the first ascent of Alaska’s Mount McKinley. Cook would also later spend time in a US prison, where Amundsen was a famous visitor.",,0.0,$2.99,72 Pages,English,Specialty Travel,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/antarctic-peninsula-mountaineering/id973463719?mt=11 1040351340,Mon coach de golf,Richard Trudeau,Clermont,"Jun 10, 2015",Prologue Inc,,"Pourquoi acheter ce livre de poche 1-Apprendre la base de l'élan et comprendre le bon mouvement pour plus de coups réussis. 2-Une lecture de 20 minutes seulement pourra réduire votre handicap de 5 à 10 coups selon le niveau du joueur. 3-Lors d'une partie qui se déroule moins bien : se référer au livre pour des conseils immédiats. 4-Des réponses simples à plusieurs questions incomprises. 5-Adopter une nouvelle approche mentale pour mieux performer. 6-Conçu pour les droitiers et les gauchers. 7-Qui n'a pas rêvé d'avoir un coach dans sa poche en tout temps. 8-Un petit investissement qui changera votre vision de l'enseignement du golf à tout jamais.",,0.0,$7.99,82 Pages,French,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/mon-coach-de-golf/id1040351340?mt=11 579949744,Loopers,John Dunn,Crown/Archetype,"May 14, 2013","Random House, LLC",A Caddie's Twenty-Year Golf Odyssey,"John Dunn never expected that his summer job as a caddie at the local course in Connecticut might turn into something more.

The author explains why traditional putting styles have failed to produce a single, lasting solution that works for all golfers. Based on research into vision as it applies to sports in general and golf in particular, the author argues that facing the target (the hole) creates an instinctive setup for maintaining the visual alignment of the putter before and during the stroke. Distance control is especially enhanced with the Tru-Vu putting style, as the mind's eye is more naturally able to build a mental image of the putt through visual saccades that lead up to the actual putting stroke.",,0.0,$5.99,137 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/tru-vu-change-way-you-look/id661824531?mt=11 478550711,So You Think You Can’t Putt?,James S.

From Palmer and Player, Mickelson and Vijay to Pat Boone, Stone Phillips, and even Yogi Berra, these players, teachers, businesspeople, and celebrities will help you play better and score lower. Everyone who plays golf has that little nugget of information they turn to on the course. But never before has such an array of golfing advice been pulled together in one place. Donald Trump, himself an avid—and very good—golfer, asked his friends, colleagues, and playing companions to offer thoughts on everything from the mental game to the swing to putting to playing golf the right way. And golfers being what they are, none could resist sharing words of wisdom.So here we find Vijay Singh telling us about playing simply: “You don’t need to get your golf swing by going through video cameras and stuff like that. Just kind of go out there and find yourself.” Baseball Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith talks about not overswinging: “Just learn to allow the club to do what it’s supposed to do . . . because the ball is sitting still.” Actor Michael Douglas has a specific routine to slow his tempo—he says his wife’s name, and doesn’t even think of starting to bring the club down until he gets to “Jones.” Taken together, these more than two hundred entries create a unique handbook, covering every aspect of the game—and ranging from the lighthearted to the deadly serious. Donald Trump’s book of advice is certain to take its place next to Harvey Penick’s Little Red Book as the ultimate in golf instruction.From the Hardcover edition.",,0.0,$11.99,320 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/trump-best-golf-advice-i-ever/id420777728?mt=11 382797812,Soll ich besser legen oder was ...?,Yves C.

Certainly no outdoor game can make the neophyte feel more utterly worm-like in his ability, for it is the peculiar quality of golf to appear to be absurdly easy to the onlooker and preposterously difficult to the unpractised player.

These players consistently score better than the quality of their ball-striking, the accuracy of their short games and their putting skills. Why? These golfers are playing smart. They make better decisions and fewer mistakes than those with similar skills. They assess the challenge of each shot and reach sound conclusions. They prepare well and do everything possible to ensure a good outcome. They focus on reducing the number of shots per round. They use their minds to get ahead. Playing Smart explains what this means in practice. David Richards sets out the principles that smart golfers use to get an edge. He examines every area of the game: on the tee, from the fairway, in trouble, around the green, and on the putting surface. He shows how to analyse your play and single-out the non-swing related problems that repeatedly cost shots. He also discusses the key factors that contribute to accuracy and consistency, and explains how good preparation, ‘routine’, and a rational attitude all contribute to better and more enjoyable golf. Playing Smart offers something to players of every ability. All golfers will be able to see clearly how they measure up against a ‘smart golfer’.

Eisenhower had been spotted on the White House lawn practicing his short irons in the direction of the Washington Monument. This image of “The Golfing General” was one that the American public quickly became accustomed to, as Eisenhower is said to have played nearly 800 rounds during the course of his two-term presidency. He befriended the game's most beloved players, including Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, and Byron Nelson, and was the subject of hundreds of golf jokes and cartoons.The public's awareness of Eisenhower's obsession with golf led directly to the sport's mid-century surge in popularity. In Don't Ask What I Shot, noted historian Catherine M. Lewis offers a unique alternate portrait of Ike and this watershed period in American history.“Any time you have a person in the position of President Eisenhower, who was so enthusiastic about golf and had the press paying attention to his many excursions on the golf course, it was going to make people aware of the game and how much he enjoyed playing it.” --Arnold Palmer""Don't Ask What I Shot is a fascinating examination of one of golf's pivotal decades, and the remarkable president who did more to popularize the game than any other in history."" -Mark Frost, award-winning author of Grand Slam and The Greatest Game Ever Played""Whatever remained to be done to remove the last traces of the average man's carefully nurtured prejudice against a game originally linked with the wealthy and aloof was done by President Eisenhower.""--Herbert Warren Wind, renowned golf writer.",,0.0,$12.99,288 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/stock-market-strategies-that/id527003602?mt=11 501065667,Putter Perfection,Sean Weir,Overspin Media,"Feb 03, 2011",,The Groundbreaking Guide to Finding The Right Fit for You Game,"Putter Perfection is the first guide to walk you through the modern essentials of putter fitting, offering clear and concise tips so that you can find a better fit for better results on the green. “Goes through everything you need to know.” –New York Times “Devoted to setting golfers on the right path.” –Golf Digest PGA Tour professionals are fanatical about making sure that their putters are properly fitted.

Based on Emily Post Institute surveys on golfers' most annoying incidents on the course, Peter addresses:How to deal with the biggest frustration in golf—slow play.What to do if you break the cardinal rule of never being late.When is a ""gimme"" acceptable?The difference between friendly play and tournament play.Dealing with sandbaggers and other cheats.Do's and don'ts when playing for ""a little something.""Peter Post's useful tips on the subtleties of the game—such as how and when to offer advice, strategies for speeding up play, and ""piniquette""—will help longtime golfers be better companions on the course.

Golf magazine writers and TV commentators certainly don't have a shortage of golf swings to analyze. So, I suppose we will never know the answer. This all creates a certain amount of confusion for the average golfer who is trying to improve their swing. After years of frustrating golf and countless swing changes, I thought that there must be a simpler way to look at the golf swing. Rather than look at all the differences, I wondered instead if there was something that all good golfers do that the average golfer generally does not. Anyone that is serious about golf certainly needs to learn the fundamentals, but what I was looking for had more to do with what I call ""The Principles of Triangulation."" Although inherent to all good golf swings, these principles are rarely given priority when it comes to golf analysis. I believe they are at the heart of every good golf swing and at the core of every good golf shot. Inside your will find a thorough explanation of these principles along with illustrations and drills to help you apply them to your swing. Additional subjects include how to reduce tension, creating lag and how to start the downswing, the difference between a one-plane swing and a two-plane swing and why you should never change your natural way of swinging.This second edition continues beyond the first in that it provides the average golfer with more of an in-depth approach to game improvement. New chapters discuss game management, fine-tuning your swing, the mental aspects of the game, increasing accuracy and distance, biomechanics and much more.

But that impediment was not a leaf or twig, it was a 350-pound boulder that took six people to move! The gallery and television audience buzzed with disbelief. How could this be legal under the rules?Indeed it could, says golf legend Arnold Palmer, who throughout his distinguished career has taken part in a sizable share of rules controversies. Despite the fact that golf has fewer rules than such sports as baseball or football or rugby, it is a contest of honor, and all players, be they tour professionals or casual weekend hackers, respect the rules. But, as Palmer points out, sometimes the rules are a little confusing -- and from time to time, even the pros are puzzled.When exactly is a ball considered ""lost?? How is ""slow play? defined?

In Four Days in July, award-winning golf writer and commentator Jim Huber takes the reader from tee to fairway, from green to clubhouse, providing an intimate look at Watson's inspiring run. Entering the tournament as a sentimental wild card and nine years removed from his last top-ten finish in any of the four majors, ""Old Tom"" proceeded to shock the golf world by shooting an opening round 65. Although commentators and fans doubted he could keep up the level of play throughout the entire tournament, Watson proceeded not only to grab the lead but carry it into the final day. In Huber's hands, we can practically smell the wind blowing off the Irish Sea as we follow Watson and caddie Neil Oxman hole-by-hole along the Ailsa Course. A fascinating parallel narrative emerges as Stewart Cink, the fellow American more than twenty-three years Watson's junior who would be dubbed ""The Man Who Shot Santa Claus,"" catches Watson in the fading sunlight that Sunday in Scotland and claims the British Open in a heart-wrenching four-hole playoff.

Scott Peck, M.D., the celebrated psychiatrist and author of the best-selling self-help book of all time, The Road Less Traveled.In Golf and the Spirit, M. Scott Peck writes a book for beginners and masters alike--and even for nongolfers. It goes beyond mechanics to explore the deeper issues, ways of successfully managing the emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects of this most wonderful, maddening, deflating, and inspiring game.Playing side by side with M. Scott Peck on an imaginary course of his own design--complete with illustrations of each hole--you will come to see the profound truths in this seemingly simple game. Appreciate that life is not linear. Come to understand your own anger and how to heal that which gets in your way. Accept the gifts of humility. Appreciate kenosis, the process by which the self empties itself of self. Benefit from teachers. Know that in weakness often there is strength. Realize that to experience the blessings of golf and life fully, you must accept the divinity that underlies all things.Like the best-selling volumes of Harvey Penick and Michael Murphy, Golf and the Spirit makes a unique contribution to the literature of golf and life. It goes beyond the body to address the heart and soul of the game, creating a rare opportunity for transformation in the lives of its readers, both on and off the fairway.It seems to me the human condition is most basically that we are willful creatures living in a world that, much of the time, doesn't behave the way we want it to. We live in the tension between our will and reality. Sometimes with great effort and expertise, we can change reality or bend it to our will. At other times--also with great effort and expertise--it is we who must change by coming to accept the limitations of the world and of ourselves. How we do this--how we deal with the hazards of life--is quite akin to how we deal with the hazards of a golf course.Sooner or later golfers who stick with the game long enough will almost always come to see it as a metaphor for life. But the word metaphor fails to do justice to all that golf has to teach us. I would go even further and say that, in its own way, golf is life and, not only that, life condensed. If we choose to use it as such, I believe that golf, next to marriage and parenthood, can routinely be the greatest of life's learning opportunities.From the Trade Paperback edition.",,0.0,$13.99,352 Pages,English,Self-Improvement,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/golf-and-the-spirit/id420723543?mt=11 531321546,How I Played the Game,Byron Nelson,Taylor Trade Publishing,"Mar 08, 2006",The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group,An Autobiography,"Byron Nelson is golf's greatest living legend.

Dangerous not just for its extreme height but for a long and treacherous approach, its summit proved unreachable until 1950, when a group of French mountaineers made a mad dash for its peak. They became the first men to accomplish the feat, doing so without oxygen tanks or any of the modern equipment that contemporary climbers use. The adventure nearly cost them their lives.

With a team of surveyors and Sherpas, Eric Shipton and H.W. Tilman located and mapped the land around K2, the second-highest mountain in the world.

Old Tom, born in 1821,began life as a nobod--he was the son of a weaver and a maid. But he was born in St. Andrews, Scotland, the cradle of golf, and the game was in his blood. He became the Champion Golfer of Scotland, a national hero who won tournaments (and huge bets) while his young son looked on. As ""Keeper of the Green"" at the town’s ancient links, Tom deployed golf’s first lawnmower and banished sheep from the fairways.Then Young Tommy’s career took off. Handsome Tommy Morris, the Tiger Woods of the nineteenth century, was a more daring player than his father. Soon he surpassed Old Tom and dominated the game. But just as he reached his peak--with spectators flocking to see him play--Tommy’s life took a tragic turn, leading to his death at the age of twenty-four. That shock is at the heart of Tommy’s Honor. It left Tom to pick up the pieces--to honor his son by keeping Tommy’s memory alive.Like the New York Times bestseller The Greatest Game Ever Played, Tommy’s Honor is both fascinating history and a moving personal saga.

For more than a decade, golf was dominated by one galvanizing figure: Eldrick “Tiger” Woods. But as his star has fallen, a new, ambitious generation has stepped up to claim the crown. Once the domain of veterans, golf saw a youth revolution in 2014. In Slaying the Tiger, Shane Ryan introduces us to the volatile, colorful crop of heirs apparent who are storming the barricades of this traditionally old-fashioned sport. As the golf writer for Bill Simmons’s Grantland, Shane Ryan is the perfect herald for the sport’s new age. In Slaying the Tiger, he embeds himself for a season on the PGA Tour, where he finds the game far removed from the genteel rhythms of yesteryear. Instead, he discovers a group of mercurial talents driven to greatness by their fear of failure and their relentless perfectionism. From Augusta to Scotland, with an irreverent and energetic voice, Ryan documents every transcendent moment, every press tent tirade, and every controversy that made the 2014 Tour one of the most exciting and unpredictable in recent memory. Here are indelibly drawn profiles of the game’s young guns: Rory McIlroy, the Northern Irish ace who stepped forward as the game’s next superstar; Patrick Reed, a brash, boastful competitor with a warrior’s mentality; Dustin Johnson, the brilliant natural talent whose private habits sabotage his potential; and Jason Day, a resilient Aussie whose hardscrabble beginnings make him the Tour’s ultimate longshot. Here also is the bumptious Bubba Watson, a devout Christian known for his unsportsmanlike outbursts on the golf course; Keegan Bradley, a flinty New Englander who plays with a colossal chip on his shoulder; twenty-one-year-old Jordan Spieth, a preternaturally mature Texan carrying the hopes of the golf establishment; and Rickie Fowler, the humble California kid striving to make his golf speak louder than his bright orange clothes. Bound by their talent, each one hungrier than the last, these players will vie over the coming decade for the right to be called the next king of the game. Golf may be slow to change, but in 2014, the wheels were turning at a feverish pace. Slaying the Tiger offers a dynamic snapshot of a rapidly evolving sport.Praise for Slaying the Tiger“This book is going to be controversial. There is no question about it. . . .

Hugo became at that moment the first athlete in the world to accomplish the huge challenges of long distance swimming and mountain climbing: the solo swim of the English Channel and the summit of Mount Everest, a conqueror of both sea and land.After reaching the summit Hugo faced an unpredicted situation of extreme survival under difficult circumstances: with no oxygen, no tent, no sleeping bag at 28,000 feet caught in a storm that would take the temperature down to 49 °F below zero. From Camp Four the news spread across the mountain all the way down to Base Camp and to the world; Hugo had perished, no one had ever survived a single night at such altitude under such conditions. Back in 1996 several climbers had been trapped in South Col to die in an event still considered the greatest tragedy in History of Everest.But the unthinkable happened, something never ever seen before. In a journey into himself that at times verged on delirium, Hugo not only survived one whole night above 28,000 feet in Everest but, near dawn, he climbed down to Camp Four, which for any other individual would have been impossible to perform after being at extreme altitude for more than 34 hours.Was it his willpower, his determination or his impeccable training? Or was it an exercise of certainty? Perhaps none of the above would have occurred if at the time he hadn’t managed to become one with the mountain.While Hugo, a brave Mexican and human being, goes on the tale of his climb to the highest mountain in the world, we will be led along an experience that for sure will invite us to reflect, and certainly, to make us become one with Everest.",,0.0,$4.99,122 Pages,English,Mountaineering,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/an-everest-survivor/id1042821934?mt=11 357299741,Moment of Glory,John Feinstein,"Little, Brown and Company","May 13, 2010","Hachette Digital, Inc.",The Year Underdogs Ruled Golf,"After winning 6 of the 12 Majors from 2000 to 2002, Tiger Woods struggled in 2003.

Plus, it’s fun to be able to put the ball in the hole on your first lesson! Other basics covered are fitting your clubs to get the most out of them by making the clubs personally fit you, and you’ll also get a quick overlook of the rules and etiquette of the game. Take some practice drills and you’ll be all ready in no time for the greens.

In order to analyze the various problems that prevent the golfer from feeling in tiptop condition, it is important to recognize the characteristics and originality of the individual’s swing. We must consider the balance of the various aspects of body wellness and we have to go beyond merely focusing on muscular flexibility and strength.It has already been widely demonstrated that each golfer possesses their own personal and unique swing (even though everyone has their own reference model), and it’s at the moment when difficulties to maintain an efficient and winning swing arise, that intervention is necessary.In fact, we believe that every golfer has to seek his own uniqueness, and only with personalized help will he be able to refine and strengthen his swing and make it a winning one.When pain and physical disturbances start to upset the joy of the game, it is crucial not to underestimate them; they are our alarm bells. At this point, medicine and golf must begin to speak the same language.Let’s discover how our journey into golf now faces the secret, behind which lurks the source of those problems that disrupt the beauty of this game.Are you ready?",,0.0,$28.99,127 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/play-golf-in-perfect-health/id912379010?mt=11 573760515,Beyond the Mountain,Steve House,Patagonia Books,"Oct 25, 2009",Patagonia Books,,"Beyond the Mountain is an autobiography by Steve House, dubbed by Reinhold Messner, “the best high-altitude climber in the world today.” His story chronicles his experiences in the world’s highest mountains, each chapter revealing a different aspect of mountaineering.

Frustrated, he did not play again for six months; when he did he carded a 77. Determined to understand why he was able to shave nearly 40 strokes off his score, Kelley spent three decades of trial and error to unlock the answer and to recapture that one wonderful day when golf was easy and enjoyable. In 1969, Kelley self- published his findings in The Golfing Machine: The Computer Age Approach to Golfing Perfection. The bestselling instruction books of the day required golfers to conform their swings to the author's ideals, but Homer Kelley configured swings to fit every golfer. He found an enthusiastic disciple in a Seattle teaching pro named Ben Doyle, who in turn found an eager student in 13-year-old prodigy Bobby Clampett. Clampett's initial success in amateur golf shined a bright spotlight on Homer Kelley and The Golfing Machine, but when the young star suffered a painfully public collapse and faltered as a pro, critics were quick to blast Kelley and his complex and controversial ideas. With exclusive access to Homer Kelley's archives, author Scott Gummer paints a fascinating picture of the man behind the machine, the ultimate outsider who changed the game once and for all of us.",3.05882,3.0,$12.99,288 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/homer-kelleys-golfing-machine/id357988710?mt=11 474858341,"Inside, Outside, and On the Ropes",Keith Gockenbach,Keith Gockenbach,"Oct 05, 2011",Smashwords,,"With a subtitle of ""Life Lessons from Q-School and The Majors"" this new book is for all golfers who wonder what it would be like to have the game, the goals, and the guts to try and make it on The PGA TOUR's Champions Tour.

A Morris & Sullivan Mystery originally published by Crown Publishing and Ballantine Books, it is now available in a high-quality ebook format, with active Contents and proper digital presentation. Missing at his tee time at the U.S. Open outside Atlanta is the latest leader of America's greatest tournament. Where is he? And how does his fate relate to the apparent suicide of a teaching pro turned TV commentator? The Open compresses the lives and fortunes of the world's greatest golfers into 72 holes. To the winner goes immortality, and upwards of a million dollars. The losers inherit a lasting obscurity. All the careful rituals and ribbings in the game conceal a deadly chemistry of money and pressure -- the fear of losing, the thefts of time, the erosion of skill and nerve. John Morris, traveling the circuit as the veteran Associated Press sports reporter, knows all too well the contradictions and vices of the game he has covered for 21 years: whose lives and skills are unraveling, whose wives are willing, whose iron ambitions are merciless. And yet the grace and geometry of golf are Morris's life. That and Julia Sullivan. Atlanta police detective Jack Rutledge seeks only the killer and will destroy anyone, or any sport, standing in his way. That may have to include Morris, who has doubts about the quick accusations of the Atlanta police and the self-serving political maneuvering of tournament officials.

In Royal and Ancient, Curt Sampson, the bestselling author of Hogan and The Masters, draws a definitive and affectionate portrait of this legendary tournament, with a fascinating narrative of both its rich history and its exciting present.The thread of Royal and Ancient is the 1999 cham-pionship--the most astonishing four days in British Open history. Sampson follows individual players as they meet the gut-wrenching challenge of the links at Carnoustie: the icy classicist, Steve Elkington; the good-looking bon vivant, Andrew Magee; the struggling hopeful, Clark Dennis; Zane Scotland, the youngest Open qualifier in history. Sampson is there for Jean Van de Velde's dramatic collapse on the final day, probing both Van de Velde and his caddie for their emotional insights. He gets inside the heads of stars and journeymen, caddies and groundskeepers, and shows how they prepare and how they think as the tournament pro-gresses, from the qualifying rounds to the practice sessions, all the way through the play-off on the final day.Beyond his excellent reportage, Curt Sampson captures British Open history as it's never been captured before. With an insider's knowledge and expertise, he draws us into the rare-fied atmosphere of tradition and myth, telling the amazing--and sometimes heartbreaking--stories of past champions, of triumphs and tragedies, of deaths and ghosts. We hear the unexpectedly poignant story of one of the early greats, Tommy Morris, the invincible champion of the 1860s and 1870s, and explore the loyal Scottish fascination with the legendary Ben Hogan. The reminiscences of past and current participants combine with the behind-the-scenes stories of everyone from the club superintendent to the local pub owners to give an intimate look at this unique tournament.In his book The Majors, John Feinstein called Curt Sampson's The Masters the best book ever written about that Augusta event. Now, in Royal and Ancient, Sampson cracks the inner circle of another remarkable major to provide this fascinating and truly all-embracing view of the British Open.From the Hardcover edition.",,0.0,$12.99,272 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/royal-and-ancient/id443961802?mt=11 938620916,Best Climbs Tahquitz and Suicide Rocks,Bob Gaines,Falcon Guides,"Jun 18, 2013",The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group,,Best Climbs Tahquitz and Suicide gives climbers a selection of hundreds of the very best routes at two of the country's most popular climbing destinations.

How different? Well, for starters, Long John thinks the PGA Tour ought to permit Bermuda shorts, make carts mandatory, let him wear his hair down to his butt if he wants to, and strip-search tournament patrons at the entrance gate to keep cameras and cell phones off the course.In Golf My Own Damn Way, you'll take a virtual ride on Big John's magic bus as he tells you the best way to grip it so you can rip it. Looking for a sure cure to bunkerphobia? It's here. A one-hour golf lesson that's 100 percent guaranteed to make you a better golfer? Ditto. Want to know why you should occasionally leave your big dog in your trunk, how to watch your weight, and what golf and sex have in common? You came to the right book. And while he's busy explaining all these and many other things, Daly also tells you why you should keep your head out of the game, let your belly lead your hands, listen to your right foot, check your ball position—and buy a hybrid (the club, not the car).Following in the spike prints of his 2006 bestselling autobiography, My Life In and Out of the Rough, Golf My Own Damn Way is an off-the-wall and intensely personal yet imminently practical and accessible tip sheet on how to cut ten strokes off your score—now.

The crowning moment of Hogan’s comeback was his dramatic victory in the 1950 U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club near Philadelphia, where his battered legs could barely carry him on the 36-hole final day. Miracle at Merion tells the stirring story of Hogan’s triumph over adversity—the rarely-performed surgery that saved his life, the months of rehabilitation when he couldn’t even hit a golf ball, his stunning return to competition at the Los Angeles Open, and, finally, the U.S. Open triumph that returned him to the pinnacle of the game. While Hogan was severely injured in the accident, fracturing his pelvis, collarbone, rib, and ankle, his life wasn’t in danger until two weeks later when blood clots developed in his leg, necessitating emergency surgery. Hogan didn’t leave the hospital until April and didn’t even touch a golf club until August. It wasn’t until November, more than nine months after the accident, that he was able to go to the range to hit balls. Hogan’s performance at the Los Angeles Open in early January convinced Hollywood to make a movie out of his life and comeback (Follow the Sun, starring Glenn Ford). Five months later, Hogan completed his miraculous comeback by winning the U.S. Open in a riveting 36-hole playoff against Lloyd Mangrum and George Fazio, permanently cementing his legacy as one of the sport’s true legends.",,0.0,$16.99,320 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/miracle-at-merion/id677376330?mt=11 609534953,"Links, Lore, & Legends",Art Stricklin,Taylor Trade Publishing,"Aug 26, 2005",The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group,The Story of Texas Golf,"Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, Dave Marr, Ben Crenshaw, Lanny Wadkins, Sandra Haynie, Rick Beem—names known to golfers everywhere—populate Texas golf history.

Credited with transforming the short games of world-class golfers like Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Annika Sorenstam, and Yani Tseng, Dave Stockton is one of the most sought-after coaches in golf. Yet Stockton’s natural abilities are more like the average player’s than those of most tour superstars. Not particularly long off the tee and average in terms of ballstriking, Stockton has won multiple major championships through a willingness to set his ego aside and analyze his game objectively—precisely what make him so effective as an instructor. The hallmark of Stockton’s coaching is the idea that “trying doesn’t work.” He shows students how to get out of their own way and let their subconscious take over. In Own Your Game, Stockton recreates the experience of riding eighteen holes with him at one of his highly sought-after corporate outings. He explains how any player can learn to use his or her mind effectively—both in the microcosm of the shot at hand and in plotting a way through a round. Amateur golfers are tired of trying to imitate the swings of the pros—to mostly disastrous results. Stockton gives players the tools and the freedom to play better with the swing they currently have.

Really, I’m serious. If you have ever tried being really positive while playing golf, you may have experienced some success but what do you do when you start playing poorly? It is very hard to keep positive when you have no idea where the ball is going. I tried the positive thinking route myself and when things got tough the only explanation for my poor performance was that I was not being positive enough. There had to be more to it than that I thought, so I went about trying to discover the truth about how our mind gets in the way of good performance. What I found changed the way I played and coached golfers forever.What I am going to share with you has the ability to do the same for your game. You have the opportunity to really understand what is causing your golf to be erratic. You can stop riding the roller coaster of emotions, from frustration to disbelief and back, and develop a way of thinking and playing that provides you with a calm confidence in your ability to play to your potential. By adopting this new way of practicing and playing you can find another level of performance that is not defined by your past levels but reaches new heights. Calm and confident, focused and enjoyable golf.I am sharing my techniques with you having practiced them with golfers of all abilities for the last ten years. While it must be stressed that these techniques will not appeal to everyone, the benefits of their use are universal and you need only bring an open mind, patience and persistence and you are bound to get good results. I have worked with amateurs who have struggled with the yips and the shanks and helped them overcome them using these techniques. I have worked with professionals who were not making their fair share of putts and they have turned their putting around to go on and win repeatedly. For the long game and the short game these techniques help you to overcome your doubts and play to your potential.The key skill that you will learn to improve is the skill that underpins peak performance in every walk of life, relaxed concentration. Golfers and golf commentators often talk about focusing well and good concentration, but there is little information about how to improve and perfect relaxed concentration, a skill that all agree is a prerequisite for good golf.This is not popular golf psychology. I will not encourage you to sit in a chair, close your eyes & imagine yourself playing really well. If you want the positive thinking route then don’t buy this book. I only deal with reality. In fact it has been said that my techniques are so simple that you actually think much less on the golf course & play better. Does that sound good to you?I am not going to give you 20 free bonuses if you buy today, nor am I going to offer you money back guarantees. There are no guarantees but I promise you that if you are patient & practice these simple exercises with an open mind you will get the benefits. You will also have direct access to me.

DBA Independent Publishers Group",The Inside Story of the Gleneagles Ryder Cup," A gripping account of the European victory over the U.S. in the epic Ryder Cup battle at Gleneagles, September 2014 Europe's blistering win had been nearly 24 months in the making—on both sides of the Atlantic. Following the ""Miracle"" at Medinah in 2012, the Americans pulled out all the stops, appointing veteran Ryder Cup hero Tom Watson as captain. As Watson put it, they were seeking ""redemption"" for the devastating meltdown they had suffered two years before. Put under pressure, the Europeans bet on an outlier: Irishman Paul McGinley, a diminutive stalwart touring pro, a team man, and an astute tactician. It was a fight between acumen and aura. Acumen won. On this occasion the European triumph was not miraculous; it was meticulous, the product of an extraordinarily detailed plan that rode the dramatic swings of fortune of the golfing calendar. Since Medinah, the golfing world had not just evolved, it had turned on its head. There was a new order. The old were fading, injured, out of form, unable to maintain winning habits. The younger generation had taken over. When it came to the showdown, the biggest event in his sport, McGinley's master plan came to fruition. Telling the inside story of an enthralling contest, from the build-up, including the appointment of both captains and the assembly of their teams, through to the dramas of the week at Gleneagles, this is a fascinating look at the pivotal moment that has established Europe as the undisputed leaders in the Ryder Cup.

Smith,University of Chicago Press,"Jun 07, 2013",Chicago Distribution Center,Optimum Performance from Tee to Green,"Golf is perhaps the most complicated simple game ever invented. Golfing greats like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods make the sport look easy, but anyone who has ever picked up a club knows how truly frustrating golf can be. The success of each shot depends on a diverse range of factors, from the club you choose and the speed with which you swing it, to your mood, the weather, and even the type and cut of the grass. Science plays a crucial role in most, if not all, of these factors, and in Golf Science, sports science expert Mark F. Smith investigates the cutting-edge scientific wonders that take the ball from tee to hole. Each chapter explores a different facet of the game—mind and body, the swing, the equipment, the environment, coaching with technology, the practice process, and the score—and is organized around a series of questions. What happens in the brain during the preshot routine? Does head movement hinder swing performance? Will I hit the ball farther with a longer driver? Why do I lose distance into the wind? What can I learn from watching my ball in flight? How should practice be structured? What are the key stats in golf that I need to know? Each question is examined with the aid of explanatory diagrams and illustrations, and the book can be used to search for particular topics, or read straight through for a comprehensive overview of how golfer and equipment work together.

Its 230 pages mainly consist of nearly 100 games that help golfers practice the types of shots encountered on the course while at the same time under the same pressure that is felt on the course. With this many competitive practice games you're sure to find plenty of new ones along with some familiar ones that have an added twist. It is crucial to practice in the same environment in which you're going to play. Visit www.golfscrimmages.com for interactive scoreboards, game uploads, tutorial videos, and more… To do this, two components must be introduced to your practice - Pressure and Physical Conditions that are similar to the golf course. Pressure is applied through a scoring system, a goal and a consequence if that goal is not attained or a simple contest against a friend. Physical Conditions found on the course must also be present. This includes different lies, awkward stances, various situations and circumstances as well as varying your club and target. A lack of these components is why so many golfers have a hard time transitioning a respectable game to the course. It creates a wider division between the practice tee and the first tee. The games within this book are what make practice more similar to playing and therefore more meaningful and effective.

It erupted into a national news story, one never told in its entirety—until King of Clubs: The Great Golf Marathon of 1938. In September 1938, thirty-two-year-old J. Smith Ferebee agreed to play 600 holes of golf in eight cities, from Los Angeles to New York, over four consecutive days. The ordeal meant playing more than thirty-three rounds in just ninety-six hours. The stakes: Ferebee’s friend and former business partner Fred Tuerk agreed that if Ferebee succeeded, he would pay on Ferebee’s behalf a $20,000 mortgage on 296 acres of waterfront Virginia land. If Ferebee lost, he would surrender to Tuerk his ownership stake in the property. Brokers on LaSalle Street in Chicago piled up bets. Before long, the marathon was estimated to be worth $100,000, or well more than $1 million today. Playing despite a severe leg injury, Ferebee faced one obstacle after another, including a gambler’s brazen sabotage attempt in Philadelphia. He started the morning rounds before dawn and ended the afternoon rounds in darkness, with lighting provided by spectators’ cars, local fire departments, or flares. Remarkably, Ferebee never lost a ball.

With Open, John Feinstein goes behind the scenes to tell for the first time the full story of how the 2002 U.S. Open Championship came into being-how a public course was transformed into one of the most difficult and surprising in the tournament's history, and how the greatest golfers in the world rose to its almost insurmountable challenges. The Black course at the public golf club in Bethpage, New York, has long had a mythic status among golfers. Designed by legendary course architect A. W. Tillinghast in 1936, it is known as a work of genius-with long fairways, gorgeous vistas, and roughs and bunkers that stymie all but the very best golfers. It is a course where any player can compete, but its cult reputation means that golfers often have to camp overnight in the parking lot to get a tee time the next day. The 2002 U.S. Open at Bethpage Black was the first time in history that golf's greatest championship had been held at a true public course. Open is the full drama of that championship, from the moment that officials first considered holding it there until the last putt rolled in at dusk on Sunday. Along the way, John Feinstein reveals the full glory of golf as it's never been explored before. He digs deep to find out what it really takes to make golf's most famous event worthy of the champions who compete in it. He tells the remarkable story of the artisans who transformed the Black from a downtrodden and rough-around-the-edges public course to one that top pros hailed as ""unbelievable"" and ""the toughest par-70 I've ever played in my life."" He also tracks the drama of the masters who battled for supremacy at the Black-Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia, Nick Faldo, Phil Mickelson, Jeff Maggert-to show how true champions respond to the toughest conditions. Open is the story of people who devote their entire lives to golf, both behind the scenes and inside the ropes. Their struggles and exhilarations as they master the monster known as Bethpage Black make for a story every golf lover will want to read again and again.",4.44444,4.5,$9.99,384 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/open/id357655233?mt=11 624601433,PGA Pro-Tipps 4,Professional Golfers Association of Germany e.V.,Professional Golfers Association of Germany e.V.,"Mar 18, 2013",digitalmobil GmbH & Co.

The popularity of the Ryder Cup, played every other year in the fall (alternately in the United States and in Europe), has soared in the last ten years. Its worldwide television audience is now the largest of any in golf, and the last tournament, in 2002, was viewed by an estimated 100 million fans.The story of this meteoric rise -- and all the rich history that predated it -- is told in the actual voices of more than forty players and other participants, including Ryder Cup players and captains Curtis Strange, Dave Stockton, Sam Torrance, and Tony Jacklin; American legends Hale Irwin and Billy Casper; U.S. network television commentators Peter Alliss, David Feherty, Peter Oosterhuis, and Jimmy Roberts; Tour players Peter Jacobsen, Tom Lehman, and Brad Faxon; and such names from the past as Dow Finsterwald, Johnny Pott, and Tommy Bolt. More than recalling simply the play-by-play, Us Against Them also goes behind the scenes -- to the Ryder Cup tournament director whose participation almost ended in his own bloody death, to the matches in Britain that nearly ended in blows, to the car crash that some say decided the outcome of one of the matches, to a small plane carrying players that almost fell from the sky, and to the prominent American network golf commentator who introduced himself to a U.S. president while dressed in a large plastic garbage bag!",,0.0,$4.99,304 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/us-against-them/id456073650?mt=11 660815555,Shadows on the Green,Malcolm Hamer,Acorn Independent Press,"Oct 06, 2013",Acorn Independent Press,,"‘Goes at a gallop from fairway to green’ - Irish Independent ‘Packed with interest and golfing knowledge.

Charting Poulter's life from when he first picked up a golf club aged seven and hit the ball 140 yards to his triumphant, pumped-up charge in the 2012 Ryder Cup, this is a story every golf fan will want to read. Poulter has earned his success the hard way and the book details how he grafted to become a professional golfer, having to pay to play at the golf club that employed him. It details his struggle to turn professional in 1994 before his obvious talent saw him join the European Tour in 2000, where he immediately won Rookie of the Year. Today, Poulter is known for being one of the most flamboyant and outspoken voices in professional golf, unmissable on the course with own range of garish clothing. Now a fixture in the world's top 15 players, a friend and neighbour of Tiger Woods in Florida and one of the most recognizable and sometimes controversial players on the planet, the book looks at all the stories, such as why he wore an Arsenal shirt at the Abu Dhabi Championship in 2006 and how he almost came to blows with Colin Montgomery in a London restaurant. Of course, the book also looks closely at all Poulter's golfing achievements. And what a golfer Poulter is. Ranked fourth in the World Golf Rankings in 2010, he is a stalwart of the European Ryder Cup team, twice victor in the World Golf Championship Matchplay Tournament and a winner of numerous European and PGA Tour events.

In the three decades since, he established himself as the most dominant golfer of all time and became the wealthiest athlete on the planet. And beside him was his father and best friend, Earl Woods. In His Father's Son, bestselling author Tom Callahan recounts the life of Earl Dennison Woods and his son. Callahan recounts Earl's boyhood in Manhattan, Kansas, his days as a star baseball player at Kansas State, and his military career with the special forces. He details Earl's final tour in Vietnam, where he became close friends with a South Vietnamese operative named Tiger Phong. Earl picked up golf after his retirement from the military, and when he became a father for the last time, his son-another Tiger-would watch him hit balls from his high chair. As soon as Tiger could stand, he was swinging a golf club. Under Earl's tutelage, he went on to the most storied amateur career in golf history. He was a millionaire the day he announced he was going pro. Callahan follows Tiger through every one of his major championship wins, discussing his complex and ever-changing relationship with his father. He places Tiger into the context of golf history, detailing his chase of Nicklaus's records and his interactions with fellow pros. He reveals that Tiger stepped away from golf after his father's death, and examines Tiger's recent troubles in light of his father's own womanizing.

The idea that individuals could easily learn enough psychology to improve their personal performance was radical then, but commonplace today.However, these early self-help writers built their approach using theological terms which were commonly understood at the time. In our modern world, that is no longer the case—although the terms themselves are still widely used. As a result, much of what passes for sports psychology sounds more like ""wishcraft.""In ""Think Like a Golfer"" Mike Southern, author of the long-running Ruthless Golf blog, teaches you the lost concepts behind the terms... and he does it without writing an evangelistic tract! ""The basics of self-belief,"" he writes, ""are the same whether you're talking about belief in God, belief in yourself, or belief that your car will start when you turn the key in the morning.""In this book you'll learn:** how true self-belief differs from mere self-hypnosis and wishful thinking** the mechanics of self-belief—how a belief is actually built and grounded in reality so it improves your performance** why trying to believe ""hard enough"" rarely works** what useful self-talk sounds like and techniques for getting dependable results** how self-belief helps you make better strategy decisions on the course** how to avoid the pitfalls of self-doubt and deal with pressure** what ""the Zone"" is and how it's related to self-beliefYes, you CAN improve your performance on the golf course.

Half of the essays are brand new, the others are all reworked and rewritten, based on pieces that were originally published in Golf Digest. Often biting, usually cranky, always hilarious and surprising—this is Dan Jenkins at his best, writing about the sport he loves the most. ""I've always wanted to do something for the golfer who has everything. I thought about a suede golf cart, or maybe a pair of cashmere Footjoys. Then I settled on writing this book."" So begins Dan Jenkins's latest—and funniest—collection of golf essays. The book consists of thirty-eight essays, all of them, as Dan says in the first essay, are ""literally throbbing with opinion."" In this book Dan delves into the greatest rounds of golf he's ever seen; the funniest things said on a golf course; the rivalries on tour and in the press box; the game's most magical moments—and its most absurd. Unplayable Lies is an ode to the game Jenkins loves. But it is Dan Jenkins, so nothing—even the game of golf—can escape his wrath, his critical eye, or his acerbic pen. The best way to describe it is to turn the book over to Mr. Jenkins: In ""Titanic and I""—probably the most hilarious and surprising essay in the book, telling true stories of Titanic Thompson: gambler, golf hustler, accused murderer, legendary storyteller—Dan explains how Titanic would win a wager by saying he could knock a bird off a telephone wire: ""Titanic would drop a ball on the ground and take out his four-wood, waggle it, and pretend to aim at the bird on the wire. When some sucker would bet him he couldn't do it, Ti would pull out a gun he carried and shoot the bird off the wire.""

The technical protection systems are covered, of course. But 30 years of alpine climbing experience has convinced the authors that mastery-and safety-lie in the far more difficult task of knowing exactly which techniques to use, where and when. Therefore, they teach step-by-step decision-making skills, providing scenarios, checklists, and self-posed questions to inform the decision process. Alpine Climbing assumes some prior knowledge, primarily in rock climbing skills and techniques. Basic knots, belaying, rappelling, building rock anchors, leading, placing rock protection, and movement skills on rock: variations of these skills that are of particular value in the alpine environment are addressed in this book. Kathy Cosley and Mark Houston have been guides and climbing instructors for more than 20 years. In 1988, Kathy was the first American woman to climb the Eiger's North Face. Mark was among the first guides certified by the International Federation of Mountain Guides Association. Together, they made a lightweight and fast ascent of the South Face of Aconcagua.

But, this is more than a golf book. It’s the story of two young men, and the people who filled their lives - the mentor who dominated Ken Venturi, the agent who loomed too large over Rory McIlroy, and the two young girls who became their first loves and lost their men as they became champions. Uniquely, it pits the incredible struggles and victories of perhaps the single most naturally talented golfer from the 1950s and ’60s (Ken Venturi, US Open champion, 1964) against the game’s most naturally talented golfer of today (Rory McIlroy, US Open champion, 2011). It puts them on the same tee boxes, on the same greens, on the same day. Masters of Men uniquely, and dramatically, brings together for two days, two remarkable golfers from two different ages in golf on the final day of their greatest failure, and the final day of their most remarkable triumph. It weaves in elements of cultural and social history, examines the birth of two of the greatest golf courses in the United States, Augusta National and Congressional CC, and examines the journey undertaken by the game of golf, and its greatest players from generations past, from Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan, to Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, to Greg Norman and Tiger Woods.

Here he shares his experiences and techniques.""You may be surprised to learn about the true cause of your yips.It is not a mechanical issue. Although it is true to say that when you play your chip shot or your putt, your technique does break down, this is not the cause of the problem.Trying to fix your technique does not address the cause of the problem. It is like removing the leaves of a weed. It may temporarily seem to have cured the problem but unless you get to the root and pull it out, your problems will remain.No, the true cause of your yips is you. Your very own mind has become conditioned to respond in this way when you play your chip or putt. Isn’t this why when you are feeling relaxed, perhaps practicing alone, your yip can be less severe?The way out of the problem lies in the same place. Inside You.You must strengthen and condition your mind to remain calm and concentrated when you play these shots.The exercises and routines in this e-book, if practiced regularly, will do just that, strengthen and condition your mind.If you are patient and persistent you are bound to be successful in overcoming your yips""",,0.0,$9.99,73 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/golf-yips-practical-exercises/id878254778?mt=11 598643062,Now You Know Golf,Doug Lennox,Dundurn,"Sep 02, 2008",Dundurn Press Limited,Now You Know - The Book of Answers,"Everybody seems to be a golfer or at least knows someone who is.

Nearly thirty years after his death, Jones remains president-in-perpetuity of the Augusta National Golf Club, which he co-founded, the host venue of the annual Masters Golf Tournament. Jones's record stands as a landmark in golf history. By the time he retired from competitive golf in 1930 at the age of twenty-eight, he had won four U.S. Opens, three British Opens, and five U.S. Amateur titles -- all without ever earning a dime for any of his triumphs. Jones's status as the greatest amateur golfer ever was clinched in 1930 when he won the U.S. Open, British Open, U.S. Masters, and British Amateur. That made him the only golfer ever to win all four Grand Slam events in one calendar year.

If I were able to turn someone into an enthusiast, I’d be ecstatic.The hardest thing for beginners about backpacking is really knowing where to get started.

It can turn professionals into jelly and dominate the games of most amateurs. It alters swing paths, causes “tap-in” putts to go awry, and transforms a golfer from a brilliant shot-maker on the practice range into an incompetent hack on the course.Most golfers understand this, but do not have the tools to overcome it. That’s where Dr. Gio Valiante comes in. A pioneering sports psychologist, Valiante has studied the sources of an athlete’s fear, investigated the physiological and neurological impact of fear on performance, and, most important of all, developed a groundbreaking program for conquering it. With Valiante's help and by applying Fearless Golf, Justin Leonard went from three consecutive missed cuts to three consecutive top tens, and Chad Campbell recently moved from 98th in the world to 7th. Davis Love III went from zero wins in 2002 to four wins in 2003, and Chris DiMarco made the 2004 Ryder Cup Team.Emphasizing the need to replace a fixation-on-results with a commitment to mastery of one’s body and one's mind, Valiante’s approach will not only help golfers reach their true potential, it will make playing every round fun again. Through concrete confidence and mastery drills, he presents specific ways readers can break free of fear’s grasp and perform at their best—even under the most extreme pressure. With detailed quotes and anecdotes given exclusively to Dr. Valiante from the best players in the game—including Jack Nicklaus, Ernie Els, and other tour professionals, Fearless Golf is the ultimate guide to the mental game, the hottest topic in golf today.",4.14444,4.0,$14.99,288 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/fearless-golf/id420338443?mt=11 535732525,"Golf's All-Time Firsts, Mosts, Leasts, and a Few Nevers",Al Barkow,Taylor Trade Publishing,"Mar 16, 2012",The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group,,"Hereis the ultimate golf reference book, meant to feed golfers’ insatiable hunger for the statistics and trivia of their game.

Azotada por feroces temporales, es un sistema continuo de cuencas glaciares de 13.000 kilómetros cuadrados, donde, debido a la inclemencia geográfica y climática, nada ni nadie puede habitar. Es, esencialmente, un desierto blanco e inhóspito. Durante los últimos 50 años hubo varios esfuerzos de grupos expedicionarios de diversos países por realizar allí su mayor desafío: el cruce longitudinal. Un objetivo formidable que requería no solo recorrer 400 kilómetros a pie, sino que además sobrellevar el clima, los quebrados glaciares y la falta de cualquier tipo de apoyo externo. Más de 25 intentos se llevaron a cabo, pero todos ellos fallaron. Hasta que a fines de enero de 1999, un desconocido pero experto grupo de 4 chilenos ingresa al área con el manifiesto objetivo de crear el fin de la historia. “Bajo la marca de la ira” es el relato de dicha expedición y conforma un poco usual libro de aventura y exploración. Basada en la bitácora escrita in-situ por Rodrigo Fica, relata el contexto en el cual se dio la travesía, incluyendo aquí un repaso de la historia de los intentos anteriores de Cruce, las características del Campo de Hielo Sur, y, por supuesto, el detalle de la desesperada lucha por sobrevivir que estos expedicionarios debieron afrontar durante los 98 días que estuvieron abandonados a su suerte.

Eighty-one years later he is still there, still dispensing wisdom to pros and beginners alike. His stature in the golf world is reflected in the remarkable array of champions he's worked with, both men and women, including U.S. Open champion and golf's leading money winner Tom Kite, Masters champion Ben Crenshaw, and LPGA Hall of Famers Mickey Wright, Betsy Rawls, and Kathy Whitworth. It is not for nothing that the Teacher of the Year Award given by the Golf Teachers Association is called the Harvey Penick Award.Now, after sixty years of keeping notes on the things he's seen and learned and on the golfing greats he's taught, Penick is finally letting his Little Red Book (named for the red notebook he's always kept) be seen by the golf world. His simple, direct, practical wisdom pares away all the hypertechnical jargon that's grown up around the golf swing, and lets all golfers, whatever their level, play their best. He avoids negative words; when Tom Kite asked him if he should ""choke down"" on the club for a particular shot, Harvey told him to ""grip down"" instead, to keep the word ""choke"" from entering his mind. He advises golfers to have dinner with people who are good putters; their confidence may rub off, and it's certainly better than listening to bad putters complain. And he shows why, if you've got a bad grip, the last thing you want is a good swing.Throughout, Penick's love of golf and, more importantly, his love of teaching shine through. He gets as much pleasure from watching a beginner get the ball in the air for the first time as he does when one of his students wins the U.S. Open.Harvey Penick's Little Red Book is an instant classic, a book to rank with Ben Hogan's Modern Fundamentals of Golf and Tommy Armour's How to Play Your Best Golf All the Time.",4.01935,4.0,$12.99,176 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/harvey-penicks-little-red/id470002104?mt=11 535588810,I Golf Therefore I Am--Nuts!,George Fuller,Human Kinetics,"Oct 01, 2008","Human Kinetics, Inc.",,"Laugh at the obsessions, frustrations and elations that frequently occur for those daring enough to call themselves “golfers” with I Golf, Therefore I Am-Nuts!

In Passion for Golf, Roland Merullo looks carefully at those connections and at the reasons why people find themselves irresistibly attracted to golf. Drawing on the triumphs and travails of playing partners, friends, and family members, and mixing in anecdotes from his own adventures on and off the course, Merullo explores the notion of a 'true goal of golf,' a hidden attraction that, ultimately, has more to do with deep peace and satisfaction than with the dream of playing on the PGA tour. He finds connections between fairway lessons and the mystical wisdom of Lao Tzu, Theresa of Avila, Thoreau, Jesus, Buddha, and Walt Whitman, among many others, and looks into the role of ego, anger, and silence in golf and life. More than anything else, Passion for Golf is a celebration of the game, an examination of the roots of our passion for it, and a meditation on the lessons every golfer carries away from the course and into his or her life. Publishers Weekly wrote, “For average hackers who struggle weekly to lower their scores, this slender, accessible guide offers insight into the emotional stumbling blocks that get in the way of improvement and, most importantly, enjoyment of the game… Readers who enjoyed Michael Murphy's Zen of golf classic, Golf in the Kingdom, should have room for this spiritual journey in their Christmas stocking.

The only people that are not frustrated golfers are those that dont play. Anybody and everybody who plays the game will indeed be humbled and frustrated by it, even the best players on the planet. When it comes to golf, frustration is not just possible or probable, it is, in fact, unavoidable and inevitable. Being classified as a frustrated golfer, however, is in no way a dubious distinction. It is not an admission of inferiority but only an admission of being human. The GREAT GOLF PARADOX: Theres probably no game more difficult to master and yet no game more enjoyable when you do, even if only for a fleeting moment. It can, at times, embarrass, humiliate, humble, infuriate, and frustrate us without mercy but in spite of that, most who play love the game and many are downright fanatical about it. Golf may best be described as a game of opposites. You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. You swing right and the ball goes left. When your body is limber you use stiff shafts. When your body is stiff you use limber shafts. The lowest score wins and the winner buys the drinks. It is also the only game I know of that can be so FRUSTRATING one moment and yet so FUN the next. Golf is indeed a game but not only a game. To its dedicated and devoted followers it is much more than that. It is in part a religion, a vice, an obsession, a passion, an affliction, a mystery, and an enigma. It can at times frustrate one beyond belief but in the blink of an eye it can also offer up unbridled joy like nothing else. G.O.L.F. can often seem like the GREATEST OF LIFES FRUSTRATIONS but it can also be a GAME OF LIMITLESS FUN. It is, in my humble opinion, still THE greatest game the good Lord ever created.

Tickets are in such demand that even the waiting list is closed, and players value the title above all others. In Making the Masters, award-winning golf writer David Barrett focuses his attention on how the Masters was conceived, how it got off the ground in 1934, and how it fully established itself in 1935. The key figure in the tournament’s creation and success was Bobby Jones, who was a living legend after winning the Grand Slam in 1930 and immediately retiring at the age of twenty-eight. He went on to found Augusta National and sought a high-profile tournament for his new course. But nearly as important was Clifford Roberts, a banker friend of Jones who not only embraced Jones’s vision but became his right-hand man in working to bring that vision to reality. Barrett explores how Jones and Roberts built the Masters from scratch, creating a golf institution embellished by the often surprising details of what that entailed as they were trying to establish a golf club and golf tournament in tough economic times. It also vividly chronicles the events of the 1934 and 1935 Masters, with Gene Sarazen’s spectacular victory in 1935 providing the climax. Set against the backdrop of golf, and America, in the 1930s, the book provides an informative and entertaining read for fans of the Masters and students of golf history.",,0.0,$16.99,272 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/making-the-masters/id574377562?mt=11 933312475,Last Mulligan,Ric K.

Thomsen was quick to agree, ""Golf can serve the needs of many. It's my job to open up to more and increase the standards within the art form -golf."" Some have asked, ""Who do you think will read it, Jack?"" ""Few"" came the reply. ""Golfers mainly-and only the most obsessive of those. There's no popular market for this book. Materialism is too much in demand, and serving the spirit has become lost."" That brief exchange reveals an unvarnished truth: golf is essentially caught in a materialistic grasp as an overview of the game, and yet as an art form, independent players function in it. The artist Vincent van Gogh had sold few of his paintings. Someone else had done that. Is the treasure the money or the art? Golf: Find Center: Enter the Circle, a genesis from a personal journal's beginning, has been imbued with a Joycean stream of consciousness that, in its intuitiveness, is likely to engage none but the determined reader. By way of contrast, however, the book's title rightly distills Thomsen's thesis. Golf, he asserts, can be a spiritual practice when done as an expression of the golfer's essential self and if engaged in it for the sheer love of golf's diversity, its wholeness, bringing on its transcendental nature. Accept Thomsen's invitation, turn your attention inward, tap into the answers that are there, feel the resultant centering, the balance, and project that centering-enter the circle.

Q School Confidential chronicles this tournament's deep, dense story of heartbreak, black humor, back-room politics and magnificent golf under dire circumstances.Using the 1998 PGA TOUR Qualifying School finals as his backdrop, golf writer David Gould recounts for the first time ever the history of the pro tour's annual qualifier, with revealing anecdotes about raw rookies, aging veterans and every dreamer in between. The vintage stories in the Q School's near and distant past tell of emotional and physical breakdown---and courage, as well---under pressure: Jim Carter's self-confessed ""choke stories"" of 1990 and 1992; Mark McCumber's recurring lost-scorecard nightmare; Peter Jacobsen's ordeal with a cheater on the Mexican border; Jim McLean's bizarre arrest on the qualifier's eve; and Mac O'Grady's violent celebration of his long-awaited Q School success. The players captured in these pages turn white with panic, vomit their breakfast, sleep in their cars, practice on interstate ranges, lose golf shoes, forget contact lenses and make fateful decisions based on faulty information.Sifting back through several eras, Gould explains the innocent aims of the first Q Schools and uncovers the tournament's pivotal role in the momentous split-up of the PGA and the PGA TOUR. He examines the difficult question of how professional golf should go about bringing in new players and letting former players regain their privileges. In the voices of forgotten or never-known tour pros from the 1970s, he narrates the frustrating ""rabbit era"" that Q School helped create, and revisits the infamous ""breakaway Q School"" of 1968. In notes that accompany this book's exclusive year-by-year scoring records, the author picks out hidden turning points, bits of trivia and strange coincidences in the lives of tour players past and present. These profiles and snapshots of the earliest Q School survivors and the most recent graduates, as well, are woven together in a warm, engaging and insightful narrative.

Sounds radical? Well, you're right on par! Golf enthusiast Michael Laughlin, whose day job is in the film business, reveals his proven, but completely radical strategies that average golfers can use to dramatically lower their score.In Radical Golf, Laughlin rethinks how the game of golf is traditionally played and shares his surprising and innovative ideas on how to play better golf. Unlike the usual technique-riddled golf books, Radical Golf offers practical and easy-to-use tips, and is written for the legion of average players who will never have the long, crunching power game of the professional. ""Golf is not a linear game,"" insists Laughlin, and ""Scoring is definitely not related to advancing the ball as far as possible on each shot."" In this fun and accessible book, the radical golfer contends, for example, that players should approach the pin much like basketball players maneuver to shoot a basket by striving to shoot from their best, or ""sweet"" spot on the court. Laughlin also suggests that golf should be played as two separate games (of tee-to-green and putts) and that golfers should keep a separate scorecard for their putting game. Equally radical, Radical Golf calls for using a 2-iron for putts rather than the ""dreaded"" putter (the loft of the 2-iron matches the putter, ""Calamity Jane,"" of legendary golfer Bobby Jones). Hole by hole, sensible shot after sensible shot, Radical Golf simulates a round of golf with a pro to show how a radical golfer can stay within strokes of par play. Written in a witty and easy-to-understand style, with entertaining sidebars and line drawings, Radical Golf will revolutionize how golf is played both on and off the course. Most of all, Radical Golf will increase the enjoyment of playing this great and challenging game.

Templeton,Vector Putting,"Apr 20, 2015",Vector Putting LLC,The Art and Science of Reading Greens and Computing Break,"INTRODUCTION Vector Putting may be unique among books on the subject of golf because the reader is never told how to grip a club or execute a swing. The book is a layman's report on a study of the physics of putting or more appropriately, what happens to the ball after it leaves the face of the putter. Most golf books on the market today deal primarily with the flying half of the game. In contrast this work deals almost exclusively with the pedestrian game of putting where the ball is rolling across the green. The term 'Vector' in the title may intimidate a few readers who are not particularly strong on science or mathematics. If you have flipped through the book you have seen a few equations, charts and graphs. Don't be alarmed. The technicalities are included for those so inclined golfers who might wish to test the ideas put forth. The text is complete without them. The book is written for golfers, period. While there is no money back guarantee that you can lower your handicap by five strokes by reading the book there is a money back guarantee that you can understand the principles of Vector Putting if you can: a. Play golf b. Count, read and write c. Participate in a few simple experiments This is not the kind of book that you will read at one sitting, the kind that you just can't put down. In fact, you have to put it down occasionally because this is a participation book. You need a putter and some golf balls and a place to putt. You can start on the den or office carpet but eventually you are going to need access to a good practice putting green. After several chapters of a close look at what happens after the ball leaves the putter, the reader will be confronted with a change of pace. The subject matter moves from physics to psychology and physiology in a search for the reason golfers misjudge the slope on the putting green. If you can't understand why you and your playing partner disagree on the break of a putt you might find some plausible answers in the discussion on perception. The remainder of the book covers the cause of break and an innovative approach to calculating rather than estimating break. The technique of Vector Putting is a fresh start on the judgment side of putting. It is based on modern technology and may very well substitute for the years of experience many coaches and instructors feel is necessary for development of the judgment and skill of low handicap golfers. Bobby Jones, America's most famous golfer, is reported to have remarked over fifty years ago, that putting could never be reduced to a science. It still hasn't, but this book represents a start. In fact it is really a preliminary report of a continuing effort. To complete the work more sophisticated test and computer equipment will be required. It is hoped that the proceeds from the sale of this first edition of Vector Putting will permit further study of the science of putting.",,0.0,$9.99,307 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/vector-putting/id542251215?mt=13 357660623,Tales from Q School,John Feinstein,"Little, Brown and Company","May 02, 2007","Hachette Digital, Inc.",Inside Golf's Fifth Major,"It is the tournament that separates champions from mortals.

Blending Buddhist wisdom, modern psychology, and practical golf instruction, Dr. Joe Parents 2002 book Zen Golf broke out to become the top instructional book in golf, and continues to be a steady bestseller. Now, in the eagerly awaited follow-up, Dr. Parent provides readers with a new approach to the aspect of golf in which mental skills have the most impact: putting. Zen Putting takes a thinking-outside-the-box approach based on the idea that by tuning into the process of putting rather than worrying about the result, golfers can get out of their own way and maximize performance. Key principles include using mindful awareness to recognize and clear away distractions and negativity, and that confidence increases when golfers take the attitude that there is something fundamentally, essentially right with them rather than focusing on whats broken or flawed. In succinct, informative chapters, Dr. Parent applies this Zen ideal to a variety of subjects for any putting situation. Chapters include: Unconquerable Confidence: brimming with strategies to cultivate confidence and turn frustration into enjoyment. Get Out of Your Own Way: exploring the obstacles we create for ourselves in putting, and how to recognize and overcome them to get the most out of our abilities. How to Make Every Putt: on reading greens; visualization; putting routine; the key components of a puttpath, pace, and roll; and taking the ideal attitude before putting. Unlike rigid how-to books on putting or fad coaching techniques, Zen Putting stirs each reader to cultivate their own unique style for synchronizing body and mind to achieve peak performance.",4.63636,4.5,$10.99,240 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/zen-putting/id361917605?mt=11 421042241,Zen Golf,Joseph Parent,Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group,"May 14, 2002","Random House, LLC",Mastering the Mental Game,"The best players know that golf is a game of confidence, and most important, concentration–the ability to focus and block out distraction. The goal of achieving clear thought is also at the heart of Buddhist teachings. In his highly original and groundbreaking book, noted PGA coach and Buddhist instructor, Dr. Joseph Parent, draws on this natural connection and teaches golfers how to clear their minds, achieve ultimate focus, and play in the moment for each shot.Zen Golf presents a simple system for building “mental game mastery.” Dr Parent’s unique PAR Approach (focusing on Preparation, Action, and Response to Results) guides golfers with specific techniques for each aspect of their games. In chapters such as “How to Get From the Practice Tee to the First Tee”, “You Produce What You Fear”, and “How to Enjoy a Bad Round of Golf”, the author shares a personal teaching regimen that has helped improve the games of professionals and amateurs alike. By combining classic insights and stories from Zen tradition, Zen Golf helps eliminate the mental distractions that routinely cause poor shots and loss of concentration, allowing golfers to feel in “the zone” that professionals have learned to master.Clear, concise, and enlightening, Zen Golf shows golfers how to prepare for, execute, and equally important, respond the results of any golf shot.

In order to see over the top of the grass they were compelled to stand upright - the first historic step towards being able to play golf.The apeman evolved into Homo habilis whose main weapon became the club. The second step towards golf had been achieved.One hundred and twenty thousand years ago an apeman, Ug Blankenthorpe, picked up a stick with a knob on the end. He instinctively liked it and started using it for hunting small mammals and striking people he didn't like. But he also had fun hitting small stones with it.To understand the evolution of the game read James Clarke’s fascinating history of golf which has been widely acclaimed by historians worldwide and beyond.For the last 20 years Clarke has been amassing information and anecdotes about the game - mainly contributed by readers of his offbeat daily newspaper column.

A four-time PGA Player of the Year, he celebrated sixty-three tournament wins and became known as a man of few words and fewer close friends. Most of what we know about Hogan has been based on myth and speculation. Until now.In the 1960s, though Hogan's competitive career was over, he kept the practice habits that made him famous and remade modern competitive golf. He hired seventeen-year-old Jody Vasquez to help. Each day, after driving to a remote part of the course at Shady Oaks Country Club, Hogan would spend hours hitting balls and Vasquez would retrieve them. There, and over the course of their twenty-year friendship, Hogan taught Jody the mechanics of his famous swing and shared his thoughts on playing, practicing, and course management—unknowingly revealing much about his character, values, and beliefs, and the events that shaped them.In Afternoons with Mr. Hogan, Jody Vasquez shares dozens of stories about Hogan, from the way he practiced, selected his clubs, and interacted with other star players to his little-known humor and generosity. Combining the gentle insight of Tom Kite's A Fairway to Heaven (which recalls Kite's golf education under Harvey Penick) with the sage perspective of Penick's own Little Red Book, Vasquez's tribute is funny, poignant, and full of advice for golfers of all levels.",4.42856,4.5,$12.99,176 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/afternoons-with-mr.-hogan/id357918284?mt=11 523087487,Balls!,Gail W.

Braman has written BALLS! (Confessions of a Rural Golf Course Owner). This is the story of the insanely odd and crazy people who frequent a nine-hole golf course beside Route 100 in Rochester, Vermont. The stories are so nearly unbelievable that one would think that the book is fiction, but I can personally vouch for the authenticity because I lived just a few miles from the course and have heard the inane questions and observed the outrageous behavior first hand... I have been hearing about this book for years and the fact that it is finally in print, despite the odds inherent in the publishing world, is a testament to the chutzpah and perseverance of Gail Braman. She owned the course, and as such interacted with the people, recorded her astute observations when it was all over and got it down on paper. You’ll enjoy the tale. -Bob Labbance, Editor * GOLF BUSINESS(Nat’l Golf Course Owners Assoc)- 2/2001 Gail Braman made the mistake of telling her recently retired husband that she didn’t want him home for lunch.

During the Depression—after the exploits of Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen and Bobby Jones (winning the Grand Slam as an amateur in 1930) had faded in the public’s imagination—golf’s popularity fell year after year, and as a spectator sport it was on the verge of extinction. This was the unhappy prospect facing two dirt-poor boys from Texas and another from Virginia who had dedicated themselves to the game yet could look forward only to eking out a subsistence living along with millions of other Americans. But then lightning struck, and from the late thirties into the fifties these three men were so thoroughly dominant—each setting a host of records—that they transformed both how the game was played and how society regarded it. Sports fans in general are well aware of Hogan and Nelson and Snead, but even the most devoted golfers will learn a great many new things about them here. Their hundredth birthdays will be commemorated throughout 2012—Nelson born in February, Snead in May, and Hogan in August—but as this comprehensive and compelling account vividly demonstrates, they were, and will always remain, a triumvirate for the ages.",3.68421,3.5,$13.99,416 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/american-triumvirate/id458975400?mt=11 453405433,Beginning Golf Tips For Ladies,Shirley Miller (SJ Miller),Shirley Miller (SJ Miller),"Jul 18, 2011",Smashwords,,"What Makes Women's Golf Different than Men's?Generally, women's golf is no different than the game men play. A regular golf course is comprised of 18 holes, broken into the front 9 and the back 9. You can elect to play 9 or 18 holes at most courses.The object of the game is to get the golf ball into the hole on the green in as few strokes as possible. Score is tracked on scorecards. ""Par"" is achieved if you match the average number of strokes on the hole. A ""birdie"" is if you get the ball in the hole in one less stroke than par. A ""bogie"" is if it takes you an additional stroke to sink your putt.For ladies, an advantage is offered by allowing them to tee off (begin their first stroke at the red tee box) closer to the pin (the flag marking the location of the hole). The difference in distance from the tee boxes varies from hole to hole. This may have some impact on calculating handicap.Women also generally use different golf clubs than men, with shorter shafts, a lighter weight and more flex. Women's golf balls generally have a rubber core (men's have a hard core), which allows them to travel farther on a slower swing. They also have more backspin. Other than that, the equipment is the same: tees, a golf bag, golf shoes, and sportswear appropriate for the course.Some people think that men and women play the game for different reasons. Men are said to enjoy the challenge and competitiveness (against others and their own personal score). On the other hand, women play golf in order to build and nurture relationships. For this reason, it has been said that women may have overall greater enjoyment of the sport!",,0.0,$2.99,21 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/beginning-golf-tips-for-ladies/id453405433?mt=11 968458503,Rare Air eBook,The Oregonian/OregonLive,"The Pediment Group, Inc.","Feb 16, 2015","The Pediment Group, Inc.",The University of Oregon's Historic 2014 Football Season,"Get the eBook that captures the Oregon Ducks’ historic season from early momentum to domination in the Rose Bowl over Florida State, plus complete coverage of Marcus Mariota’s remarkable college career culminating in the Heisman Trophy, and dominating win vs. Florida State in the Rose Bowl.

The two contrasting scenes underlined the fierce debate that had endured for many months about the continuation of professional football whilst innumerable young men were being sacrificed in the name of freedom and democracy. Britain declared war on Germany just four weeks before the 1914/15 football season was due to commence. That it did commence, and progressed to a conclusion, polarised public opinion. One faction claimed it was immoral and reprehensible to play professional sport at such a time; the other insisted it was vital in order to maintain the spirit and morale of the population. Meanwhile, professional footballers carried on scoring goals and winning and losing matches.

Il Sindaco, padre di Nadia, abbandonata la politica si è trasferito per lavoro ad Alessandria e ha ereditato le quote della società calcistica locale, portandola in serie A. Un assurdo incidente stradale trasforma, però, la festa della promozione in una tragedia, e Nadia si sostituirà presto al padre nella presidenza della squadra. Per lei tenere in vita l'Alessandria Calcio è un po' come tenere in vita lui, ora in coma in un letto di ospedale. Perché Nadia lo sa che a legarci a questa parte del mondo sono le grandi passioni, gli amori più forti. Proprio come quello per una figlia, o una squadra, o un sogno. Quando però viene meno, oltre all'affetto dei tifosi, anche il sostegno degli sponsor, e la situazione per i Grigi si fa davvero drammatica al punto che l'allenatore e i migliori giocatori abbandonano la squadra, le sue certezze si incrinano. Per giocare in serie A ora all'Alessandria serve davvero un miracolo. Magari solo un piccolo miracolo, come l'improvvisa apparizione del Vecchio, quel misterioso personaggio che tutto sembra conoscere del mondo del calcio e che ama raccontare storie che appartengono al passato e alla leggenda. Sarà lui ad aiutare Nadia a risolvere una situazione che sembra disperata. Lui a coinvolgere un ormai dimenticato allenatore (El Murcielago, il pipistrello), che ha trascorso gli ultimi vent'anni in Cina e oggi vive in uno sperduto casolare insieme al suo assistente muto Chang Khan, all'occorrenza massaggiatore, medico e «luoghista». Lui a costruire un'improbabile rosa fatta di sconfitti dalla vita e dalla sorte: giovani calciatori sconosciuti, o dai trascorsi spesso discutibili, e vecchie glorie sulla via del tramonto. E soprattutto sarà lui a guidare le emozioni della squadra, materializzandosi dal nulla proprio nei momenti più difficili, per raccontare piccoli e grandi miracoli del pallone, perché nel calcio ci sono situazioni difficili, complicate e complicatissime, ma il calcio non conosce la parola disperazione. Miracoli come quello di Kim Vilfort e del suo Europeo '92 con la Danimarca, dello Zambia campione d'Africa in Gabon nel 2012, a pochi chilometri da dove, anni prima, la stessa nazionale era rimasta vittima di un drammatico incidente aereo.

One of those blessings was an impulse to take a golf lesson having never touched a club or had any interest before.That day I was blessed again to meet John Norsworthy. Since then he has become a true friend and mentor. Although I didn’t take that first lesson until well past the age of 40, I was able, with John’s guidance and confidence in me, to go from complete novice to a single digit handicap in less than 3 years. Something I didn’t really believe was possible but John did. John is not only a great teacher but also a great gentleman. I believe this book will be a tremendous asset to golfers of all levels.The comparisons between the players of yesterday and today are revealing and show that with all the modern technology available now, not much has really changed in the last 100 years. These eternal truths will benefit the game of all golfers and more importantly will make the game easier and more enjoyable.Thank you John and bless you for making my life so much more enjoyable!Morgan is a politician, film producer and actor.

After its first years as an amateur challenge cup, the Grey Cup would go on to be awarded to the best football team in Canada, with Western challengers traveling back east to fall at the hands of the more established Toronto teams. That is, until a group of frustrated Winnipeggers paid an enormous sum during the Depression to buy up star players and bring the cup west for the first time.

The game is the highest participation sport in the nation, seeing nearly 500,000 adults play each year. We’d heard visitors easily enjoy a game without the overcrowding experienced in many other parts of the world. So, when Geoff, my best pal and golfing partner suggested we go, I was pretty darned pleased. “A golfing trip to New Zealand? When do we leave?”And it was even more exciting when two tubes looking like rocket launchers arrived on the doorstep at our home in the Pacific Northwest. Far from threatening, these travel cases for half sets of clubs would double on the course as golf bags. Geoff had thought of everything.A nation of islands in the Southern Hemisphere, New Zealand is more than 1,600 kilometres southeast of Australia. The waters of the Cook Strait separate the two main islands, the North and the South, and although it’s smaller, most New Zealanders live on the North Island. Temperatures are milder and there’s more level land, but many say the landscape of the South Island is more dramatic because of the spectacular Southern Alps.Down under, summer stretches from December through February, but it’s vacation time and accommodation reservations are recommended. Autumn runs March through May and from June through August, winter weather brings rain and snow in the high country. Hardy ones can ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon. We arrived in Auckland on the North Island at a particularly beautiful time for although October was still a bit chilly, the warm spring sun and rain refreshed the countryside, coaxed buds into bloom and renewed life in the forests. Someone once said of New Zealand greenery, “If a plant is bare, it is either not native, or dead.”For those who prefer other pastimes when their partners play a round of golf, there are many activities to while away a few hours. Some may fancy a city tour with shopping excursions, a visit to botanical gardens and their great gift shops, a tramp (walk or hike) along the many well-marked paths in the city or countryside, or just enjoy a lazy day at the beach. A personal favourite is a luxurious soak in an outdoor thermal spa—one of New Zealand’s great treats.The first section covers a large part of our North Island tour. Up the Twin Coast Highway we sought out golfing opportunities and the nation’s history and pre history. Heading east on the often remote Pacific Coast Highway, we visited the cities of Gisborne and Napier, then drove south to the capital, Wellington. An interesting and challenging aspect of the North Island is golfing alongside boiling, gurgling and plopping geothermal mud pools on courses off the Thermal Explorer Highway. At times, it became a walk on the wild side when shots strayed too close to hot spots.Our South Island tour began with a Cook Strait car ferry crossing from Wellington to the Port of Picton. We drove the West Coast from what seemed an isolated area north of Westport where caves tell a tale of an ancient past in the remains of the extinct giant flightless moa bird. Heading south into glacier country, we marveled at the dramatic scenery then turned inland to the towns of Wanaka, Queenstown, and Te Anau for Fiordland tours.Why did we enjoy our visit so much? Feeling welcome and safe has much to do with a traveler’s comfort. Never fearful, we were always greeted warmly in densely populated urban areas or in the most out-of-the-way, backcountry areas. And although rain and wind often changed our plans, they also brought a certain beauty to the country.",,0.0,$5.99,207 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/birdies-bogies-kiwis-golfing/id543125954?mt=11 792265946,Rise,Daniel Rodriguez & Joe Layden,Houghton Mifflin Harcourt,"Oct 07, 2014",Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company,"A Soldier, a Dream, and a Promise Kept","“Harrowing, heartbreaking, redemptive.” —Sports Illustrated “An inspiring story of a resilient warrior who knows what it means to keep a promise. “ —Eric Greitens, Navy SEAL and best-selling author of The Heart and the Fist Daniel Rodriguez joined the army just weeks after graduating from high school.

The Bills' incredible skill and teamwork on the field was matched only by their single-minded determination as, in the four years spanning 1991 to 1994, the team won four consecutive conference championships, and lost four consecutive Super Bowls. The peaks and nadirs of their record reflect a fascinatingly dynamic, uneven, and—at times—uncontrollable array of talents. Valerio renders in sharp detail how the Bills' unique culture was formed by an unlikely ecosystem of world-class athletes hunkered down in bleak western New York, far away from the celebrity playgrounds of other pro teams. Meticulously researched and carefully crafted, this one-of-a-kind look inside the Super Bowl-era Buffalo Bills is based on extensive interviews with the key players, coaches, and management, including Hall of Famers Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith, as well as coach Marv Levy, general manager Bill Polian, and many others, including players and coaches from opposing teams, and the reporters who covered them.",,0.0,$9.99,240 Pages,English,Football,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/second-to-none/id912529994?mt=11 424881378,Courses Called Crackers: One Golfers U.K. Quest,R.N.A.

On her rolling shores the game of golf had its origins, and to walk the links of St. Andrews is to feel at one with the shepherd who decided one day to see how far he could whack a stone with his crook. Most serious golfers will make the pilgrimage to Scotland, to try to hit the Postage Stamp green at Troon, to trace the footsteps of Ben Hogan at Carnoustie, and to brave the challenge of the Road Hole at St. Andrews; all golfers dream of taking such a trip.For the tourist or the dreamer, there can be no better guide than James W. Finegan. A passionate advocate of the game that's played on the links between land and sea, Finegan combines a writer's eye, a historian's knowledge, and a golfer's sense of wonder and apprehension to provide an impossibly ambitious grand tour of golf's native land.In a loop of a thousand miles that begins in Edinburgh and ends across the Firth of Forth in St. Andrews, Finegan covers some sixty courses, visiting the true shrines of the game, the courses that are well known and respected, and the little-known gems you might otherwise pass right by. He shares the history of the courses, both of their creation and of the most famous matches played there; he also writes marvelously about the scenic and strategic charms to be found as you play them yourself. And he provides all the information you need to make your arrangements to do just that -- because, unlike most championship courses in the United States, the great courses of Scotland are available to the public.In addition to his delightful descriptions of the golf to be found there, Finegan gives us his recommendations for places to stay, ranging from the most modest bed-and-breakfast to the most magnificent castle hotel. He describes the pleasures to be found off the beaten track: the spectacular views from a country road, or the ancient cathedral that's worth a stop on the way to the first tee. And because all the travel within the country is done by car, he spells out the actual routes from town to town and course to course.Blasted Heaths and Blessed Greens is a book to be read, to be savored, and to be tucked away in your suitcase when you finally undertake the journey of your dreams.",,0.0,$14.99,288 Pages,English,Golf,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/blasted-heaths-blessed-green/id381642758?mt=11 770488115,Rocket Experience,University of Toledo Football,University of Toledo Football,"Dec 01, 2013",David Sankovich,,Experience what makes the University of Toledo football program one of the fastest growing programs in the Mid-American Conference and all of college football.,,0.0,Free,26 Pages,English,Football,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/rocket-experience/id770488115?mt=13 617261096,"Section 6: a memoir of family, football and fandom",Chris Garson,Chris Garson,"Feb 26, 2013",Smashwords,,"The Cleveland Browns have provided fans in northeast Ohio memories to last a lifetime.

It’s a perfect and fun gift for all those with cranky old golfers in their lives, and is written by a 21 handicap player with thirty years of dedicated ‘hacking’ behind him. People who play golf are, by and large, perfect gentlemen, and ladies. It is, after all, a sport which takes pride in fair play, etiquette, good manners and consideration for others. Golf is also a rollercoaster sport, a game of outrageous fortunes that makes you feel like a Tiger one minute and a tame pussy the next. The great moments are few and far between, but it is these that keep you coming back. A stinker of a round, which would make Saint Andrew cranky as hell, will be soon forgotten if you can play a few holes well, strike the ball beautifully and pick up a par or two. It’s not surprising that many older players well and truly justify the description of Cranky Old Golfers (COGs). Golf provides them with unlimited opportunities for a good moan and groan. COGs are by definition found in the seniors section, and they gather in great numbers at every golf club in the land, most mornings. ‘Cranky’ is, of course, a perfectly normal condition for a golfer. All golfers are cranky some of the time. COGs are much more irascible than other golfers however; they have been playing golf a lot longer, and the trials and tribulations of golf have taken a toll on their nervous systems.

With an eye for detail, he recounts tales of spies sent out to capture the opposing team’s playbooks; the night the lights went out on Don Shula; wild cab rides with Fouts, Joiner, and Winslow; the zany pre-game rituals and idiosyncrasies of Russ Washington, Wilbur Young, Pat Curran, Woodrow Lowe, and others; rivalries born not on the playing field, but at the dominoes table; and plenty of pranks and good-natured ribbing.Rarely does a book offer more than a passing glance at what makes a football team a family.

Ninety-Nine Iron is the story of the 1899 Sewanee football team. The University of the South, as it is formally called, is a small Episcopal college on Mounteagle Mountain in southeastern Tennessee. It is a respected academic institution not known for its athletic programs. But in that final year of the 19th century the Sewanee football team, led by captain “Diddy” Seibels, produced a record that is legendary. In six days, on a grueling 2,500-mile train trip, the team defeated Texas, Texas A&M, Tulane, Louisiana State University, and Ole Miss--all much larger schools than Sewanee. In addition to this marathon of victory, the 21 members of the Sewanee Iron Men won all 12 of their regular games, and of their 12 opponents, only Auburn managed to score at all against them. Ten of these 12 victories were against Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association opponents, which put Sewanee in the record books for most conference games played and most won in a season. In Ninety-Nine Iron, Wendell Givens provides a play-by-play account of that remarkable season. He includes an overview of campus life at Sewanee and profiles of the players, the team’s coach (Billy Suter), the manager (Luke Lea), and the trainer (Cal Burrows). In the five years he researched the work, Givens conducted interviews with Seibels and visited the five cities in which the Iron Men had played--Austin, Houston, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Memphis. Givens has written a vivid account of a sports achievement not likely to be seen again.",,0.0,$14.99,137 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/ninety-nine-iron/id918134501?mt=11 887591030,100 Things Buckeyes Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die,Andrew Buchanan,Triumph Books,"Jul 01, 2008","Chicago Review Press, Inc.

Smith,Beacon Press,"Sep 06, 2011","Random House, LLC",JFK and the Integration of the Washington Redskins,"In 1961—as America crackled with racial tension—the Washington Redskins stood alone as the only professional football team without a black player on its roster. In fact, during the entire twenty-five-year history of the franchise, no African American had ever played for George Preston Marshall, the Redskins’ cantankerous principal owner. With slicked-down white hair and angular facial features, the nattily attired, sixty-four-year-old NFL team owner already had a well-deserved reputation for flamboyance, showmanship, and erratic behavior. And like other Southern-born segregationists, Marshall stood firm against race-mixing. “We’ll start signing Negroes,” he once boasted, “when the Harlem Globetrotters start signing whites.” But that was about to change. Opposing Marshall was Interior Secretary Stewart Udall, whose determination that the Redskins—or “Paleskins,” as he called them—reflect John F. Kennedy’s New Frontier ideals led to one of the most high-profile contests to spill beyond the sports pages. Realizing that racial justice and gridiron success had the potential either to dovetail or take an ugly turn, civil rights advocates and sports fans alike anxiously turned their eyes toward the nation’s capital. There was always the possibility that Marshall—one of the NFL’s most influential and dominating founding fathers—might defy demands from the Kennedy administration to desegregate his lily-white team. When further pressured to desegregate by the press, Marshall remained defiant, declaring that no one, including the White House, could tell him how to run his business. In Showdown, sports historian Thomas G. Smith captures this striking moment, one that held sweeping implications not only for one team’s racist policy but also for a sharply segregated city and for the nation as a whole. Part sports history, part civil rights story, this compelling and untold narrative serves as a powerful lens onto racism in sport, illustrating how, in microcosm, the fight to desegregate the Redskins was part of a wider struggle against racial injustice in America.From the Hardcover edition.",,0.0,$17.99,288 Pages,English,Football,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/showdown/id476024965?mt=11 710888356,Tales from the Texas Tech Red Raiders Sideline,Spike Dykes,"Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.","Oct 01, 2013","The Perseus Books Group, LLC",A Collection of the Greatest Red Raider Stories Ever Told,"Tales from the Texas Tech Red Raiders Sideline will examine the games, stories, and players that have enriched the Red Raiders’ 79-year history.

Great for readers of all ages.Even at a young age, if anyone told Derrick Coleman what he couldn’t do, he’d just reply, “Watch me.” Diagnosed as hearing-impaired at age three, he faced a potentially limited future, but neither he nor his family were going to let that happen. Now Derrick shares the story of his remarkable journey toward NFL stardom, of the friends and colleagues who cheered him on when skeptics tried to chip away at his confidence, and of how every challenge he faced only strengthened his resolve.At the heart of his story is his unconventional family, whose one constant was always love. When Derrick was misunderstood as “difficult,” or bullied and laughed at by schoolmates, he removed his hearing aids and listened instead to his mother’s advice: Never let anyone else tell you how far you can go.Playing football became an outlet for Derrick’s restless energy and a way of proving he could forge his own path. As a senior at UCLA, he became a standout, an award-winning player who led his team with eleven touchdowns and demonstrated to the world what his heart had known all along: He had what it took to be a champion.No Excuses is more than just Derrick Coleman’s story as a sports legend, inspirational role model, and icon.

Whether you're a die-hard fan from theHall of fame football writer Chuck Heaton looks back at his 47 years covering the Cleveland Browns.
Heaton spent an incredible five decades covering the Browns—the “old Browns” teams that fans still miss. He reported on the Browns for the Plain Dealer from 1946 to 1993—nearly the entire history of the original Cleveland franchise.
In this series of memoirs, written shortly before his retirement, Heaton reminisces about the great players he got to know, like Jim Brown, Otto Graham, and Leroy Kelly; masterful head coach Paul Brown; colorful characters like equipment manager Morrie Kono; even notorious Browns rivals like Oilers’ coach Jerry Glanville and Steelers’ owner Art Rooney. He recalls the relaxed atmosphere of training camp at Hiram College, and shares tales of life on the road with the team (including some memorably bad hotels).
If you’re a Browns fans who remembers the old teams, you’ll fondly recall the glory days in these old-fashioned, personal stories. If you’re a younger Browns fan, you’ll find out why everyone still longs for them.

Enter NFL agent Eugene Lee.

We’ll meet players in various stages of their NFL career—from college, to the pros, to life after the game. Eugene will take us into the homes of potential clients, the locker rooms of current clients, and to every nook and cranny an agent must go to keep the hopes and dreams of players alive.But above all, we’ll get insight into why Eugene has chosen to walk a path of righteousness, conducting business with the same integrity and faith by which he lives.Some say he’s a true “Jerry Maguire,” but Eugene Lee is an original, a one-of-a-kind personality whose life is just as exciting as the games played by his clients.

Having played, I thought that I knew everything there was, however, McPhilomy showed me a complete new world. The author's ability to phrase the rules so that they can be learned quickly and easily is unmatched from other works that I have read. It is Simply Stated that gave me the keys to be a successful official, working high school ball, and built my rules knowledge foundation as I move up to the college ranks. I also use Simply Stated to train new high school officials. I highly recommend Simply Stated for any official or fan who wants a clear and concise view on the rule and how it should be interpreted. I use Simply Stated as the basis for my high school rules study every year, and will for years to come.

He was widely viewed as the ablest football scout of his time and coached at the U.S. Naval Academy for 33 years; his son is New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, a three-time Super Bowl winner. When Steve Belichick died in November 2005, the New York Times headline cited him as ""Coach Who Wrote the Book on Scouting,"" and quoted Houston Texans General Manager Charley Casserly calling Football Scouting Methods ""the best book on scouting he had ever read."" Joe Bellino, Navy's Heisman Trophy winner in 1960, told the Times that Steve Belichick ""was a genius. On Monday nights, he would give us his scouting reports, and even though we were playing powerhouses, I always felt we were prepared because he found a way for us to win.""

This reissue edition makes the original 1962 text available once again in exact facsimile. The book covers how to scout opponents, recognize defenses, analyze offenses, discover ""tip-offs"" that reveal the opponent's plays, compose a useful report, self-scout, and conduct postgame analysis. ""Steve Belichick taught many younger men how to scout and how to watch film and how to prepare their teams for the next week's game,"" David Halberstam noted in the Washington Post, and his best student was his own son Bill Belichick, ""one of whose greatest skills as a coach to this day remains his ability to analyze other teams, figuring out both their strengths and their vulnerabilities, and shrewdly deciding how to take away from them that which they most want to do.""

Spending Sundays in the infamous 700 level of Veterans Stadium, or sitting in front of the TV with his father in a nearby recliner, Tom sees both the ugly and beautiful sides of Philadelphia football. Like all true Philadelphians, he connects with the players. From icons Chuck Bednarik and Steve Van Buren to modern-day greats Randall Cunningham, Donovan McNabb, and Brian Dawkins and controversial stars such as Terrell Owens, the Eagles players become a part of McAllister’s life. Watching them every Sunday, he tries to develop his own identity as a fan. Torn between his father’s calm and levelheaded fandom and the rowdy, profane, and violent crowds of Philadelphia legend, Tom struggles to achieve balance. As a rabid Eagles fan, Tom McAllister experiences plenty of defeats and disappointments, but his biggest challenge is coping with the premature loss of his father to cancer. In Bury Me in My Jersey, McAllister explores the connection between his dedication to the Eagles and the death of his father. He details the intense bonds—between fathers and sons, among friends, and even between a city and its football team—and chronicles the joys and sorrows, victories and failures, of a lifetime of sports obsession.Any fan can relate: Tom drinks to excess, spends countless hours every week posting to an online Eagles message board, and spies on players in the fruit aisle of the supermarket. Without the example of his father to guide him, Tom often finds himself stumbling off track. But it is his girlfriend and eventual wife, LauraBeth, who keeps him grounded as he matures into adulthood.A touching, funny, beautifully crafted memoir, Bury Me in My Jersey is not only a marvelous tribute to a father, a way of life, and a team and its devoted followers but also a love letter to the city of Philadelphia.From the Hardcover edition.",,0.0,$9.99,240 Pages,English,Football,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/bury-me-in-my-jersey/id420547000?mt=11 890574682,Coaching the Air Raid Offense,Rich Hargitt,Coaches Choice,"Jun 17, 2013",Coaches Choice - Healthy Learning - ACA Bookstore,,"This spread offense resource explains all aspects of the air raid system and includes particular information about everything coaches need to know to run the scheme: philosophy, personnel, practice plan, formations, no-huddle communication, run plays, screen plays, quick passing game, dropback passing game, and game planning.",,0.0,$15.99,119 Pages,English,Football,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/coaching-the-air-raid-offense/id890574682?mt=11 508744783,Football Skills & Rules,Arun Kumar Tyagi,Khel Sahitya Kendra,"May 08, 2010",Love Health LLC,,The book all about Football Skills & Rules,,0.0,$5.99,332 Pages,English,Football,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/football-skills-rules/id508744783?mt=11 947655692,Bury Me With My Whistle,Ted Knapp,Tate Publishing Company,"Sep 30, 2014",Tate Publishing,,"The book morphs from one genre to another, but there are two constants you can expect throughout its pages: football and spiritual perspective.

However, God never gives up on us, no matter how many times we make mistakes or commit sins. Remember that sinning is different from a mistake. To sin against the law of God requires intent against the law of God and the original Ten Commandments that God gave Moses. The connection between religion and sports is everywhere in our culture. Athletes and fans alike are known for praising God for all success. But beyond these public displays of religion is a spiritual connection that exits between our faith and our favorite teams. God and Football: Why Men Love the Game takes an in-depth look at this connection to show the spiritual reasoning behind our passions for the game. Playing or watching the game of football is beneficial physically and spiritually. Real-time decisions made during a game simulate decisions that will be made later in life off the field. Yet risk is involved and attached to the activity. Injuries can and do occur during games, just as spiritual injuries occur in our daily lives. While football is a fierce game, it teaches us the importance of following the rules, embracing discipline, committing to a team, and trusting in a higher power.

Young, M.D., exposes a fascinating, yet convoluted, chapter in the history of the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives-better known as the Big Ten. Following the December 1939 announcement by the University of Chicago of plans to disband its football program, rumors were rampant in the press and among among sports fans about potential suitors to replace the Maroons. A number of programs confidentially expressed an interest in joining the organization. But only two schools, Michigan State College and the University of Pittsburgh, made any effort at applying for membership. The Spartans and Panthers had strategic reasons, unique to each institution, for seeking the seat ultimately vacated by Chicago in June of 1946. Arrogance and Scheming in the Big Ten explores the roles university administrators, academicians, and athletic leaders at prominent Midwest institutions-Michigan, Notre Dame, Minnesota, Ohio State, Purdue, Iowa, Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Illinois-played in either aiding or hindering those suitors. Through painstaking research, the author dispelled a widely held myth about how a mid-sized, agriculturally based land-grant college achieved its coveted prize: membership in the exclusive club. He also discovered in letters and documents, hidden in 13 archives, that many of those highly respected university leaders, as well as the first two conference commissioners, were not opposed to using suspect tactics-rumors, twisted truth, espionage, and insider scoops-to impact the intriguing course of events leading to what proved to be the unpopular selection of a new member of the Big Ten in May of 1949.

When he was picked in the seventh-round of 1999 NFL draft, Donald Driver couldn’t find Green Bay on a map. He was given little chance of making the Packers roster, much less of amassing over 10,000 yards in his career and becoming a Super Bowl champion. But in an unlikely journey, Driver has overcome obstacle after obstacle to become one of the most successful players in the NFL. Now, for the first time, Driver recalls his time growing up in Houston, spending nights living in a U-Haul trailer with his mother and stealing cars and selling drugs with his brother to get by. He recalls what it was like to walk into the locker room as a little-regarded prospect out of Alcorn State, an athlete who one year earlier thought his future was in high jump rather than football, and why he would have never made the team without the support of General Manager Ron Wolf. With the help of his winning speed, skill, not to mention, smile, Driver became one of Brett Favre's most-trusted targets and a fan favorite at Lambeau. (Though it took some time for him to perfect his Lambeau leap.) Driven takes you inside the locker room with Favre, shares his experiences with Reggie White, and recalls his more recent role as a veteran leader for like Aaron Rodgers and Greg Jennings during their Super Bowl run in 2010. Over 14 years Driver has been through it all—game winning touchdowns, crushing playoff defeats, frightening injuries, and the glory of the Super Bowl. Traveling off the field, Driver discuss his relationship with his wife and three children: how uncertain they were when he undertook the relentless training necessary to become a champion on the 2012 season of Dancing With the Stars, and how supportive they are of his charity work and service to God.

But in 1933, former boxer and minor league baseball player Art Rooney, who had quarterbacked the squad at Duquesne University, purchased a team for Pittsburgh for $2,500. Thus began the legacy we know as “Steeler Nation.”At the time, no one could have imagined that the Pirates, as they were originally named, would become a treasured possession for Pittsburghers. For the first 40 years, the franchise was a national joke. With only one playoff performance—a 21–0 defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles for the eastern division title in 1947—highlights were minimal for a team that regularly found itself at the bottom of the standings.Then in 1969, Art Rooney’s son Dan hired Chuck Noll from the Baltimore Colts to coach his team. Noll replaced undisciplined players with future hall of famers. By 1974 the team won its first world championship and went on to capture four Super Bowl titles in six years. Noll’s legacy for excellence continued with four more Super Bowl appearances and two championships in 2005 and 2008, garnering the franchise a league record of six Super Bowl wins.Classic Steelers includes these six championship tilts and takes citizens of the Steeler Nation on a play-by-play tour of the most memorable games in the team’s history.

While the Browns, Indians, and Cavaliers have certainly caused more than their fair share of frustration and heartbreak over the past century, there are countless moments of glory in the fertile athletic history of Northeast Ohio that receive little notice east of Shaker Heights or west of Rocky River. Jonathan Knight’s Classic Cleveland Series sets out to combat this trend, bundling together the most memorable moments of Cleveland’s beloved athletic clubs. In three separate publications, Knight ranks the fifty greatest games in each franchise with entertaining accounts of each contest, properly placing them in the broad landscape of civic history. Regardless of what the current editions of the Browns, Indians, and Cavs accomplish, every contest played is another chapter in an epos connecting each generation of fans to the ones before it. The Classic Cleveland Series colorfully illustrates that regardless of today’s final score, the simple continuation of the saga is reason enough for reflection and celebration. Classic Browns counts down the fifty greatest Cleveland Browns games, from unexpected upsets to incredible comebacks to titanic championship battles. The rich, six-decade history of the Browns is layered into these tales, tying together the gritty All-American Football Conference games played in the shadow of World War II to the sleek Sunday battles at shimmering Cleveland Browns Stadium today. Knight ranks heartbreakers like The Fumble and The Drive alongside championship duels and epic confrontations with heated rivals. Included in these pages are the heroics of Browns legends like Otto Graham, Lou Groza, Jim Brown, Brian Sipe, and Bernie Kosar to name just a few. Whether it was because of the score, the weather, or an amazing individual performance, each game included in Classic Browns is worth remembering and revisiting.

Beginning in 1966, when Buffone was selected in the fourth round by the Bears, the book details his early playing days under legendary Coach George Halas all the way through the start of the new era of the franchise with John Fox. He takes readers through the exhilaration of being teammates with the legendary Gale Sayers, as well as the heartrending experience of losing teammate Brian Piccolo to cancer, which would go on to inspire the award-winning movie Brian's Song. Before retiring as the last Bear to have played under Halas in 1980, Buffone also had the pleasure of sharing the locker room with the next superstar Bears running back, Walter Payton, helping lay the groundwork that would lead to the unforgettable 1985 Super Bowl champion squad. Luckily, even after his playing days, Buffone never strayed far from the Bears organization, covering the team on television and radio for more than three decades.

In an exploration of these themes the collection provides insight into academic studies of football in Portugal, Germany, England, Spain, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, China, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the USA. At examining football-related phenomena under the headings of nations and migration, myths and business, the city and the dream, it shows how modernised football itself is object and subject in processes of both neo-liberal globalisation and counter hegemonic globalisation.While the contributions highlight characteristics of particular local and national contexts, the volume focuses on global centre-periphery-relations and migration trajectories of football professionals by analysing recent developments in post-colonial Portuguese speaking areas: The high ranking of ""Portuguese football"" not only serves in national(ist) discourses or in order to emancipate the country from a marginal position, it also turns Portugal into a football-talent exporter, confronting it partly with the same ambiguous consequences as Brazil and the African countries, who ""lose"" their football talents to the European centre.

Faced with an underachieving football club, Bluenoses’ have had to look to their heroes to justify their blind faith and continued enthusiasm – and to many Gil Merrick is the greatest hero of all! Gil is held in high esteem because he loved the club as much as the supporters, even though his father was a Villa fan. He gave his life and soul to Birmingham City, serving it as player and manager before the club broke his heart with the manner of his dismissal. Loyalty could have been Gil’s middle name.

Forest is the second oldest football league club in the world (after Notts County, which began in 1862) and Don Wright tells its unique story largely through the exceptional individuals who formed and shaped it. Inspired by Italian freedom fighter Giuseppe Garibaldi's redshirts, the young founders of the Forest Football Club, who played on the Forest recreation ground near the centre of Nottingham, decided that Garibaldi red would be their colour and so it has remained ever since. Forest are the original reds of world soccer. Walter Roe Lymbery was in turn captain, chairman and secretary/treasurer, setting the club on its feet. Another Victorian, Sam Weller Widdowson contributed new methods and ideas. He invented the shinguard, proposed the referee's whistle and introduced the 2-3-5 line-up that was universally adopted and still in use up to the 1950s. Tinsley Lindley was a famous Forester and Corinthian who championed the cause of the professional player. Forest won the FA Cup for the first time in 1898 and celebrated by opening the City Ground. Frank and Fred Forman became the first brothers from the same Football League club to be capped by England. Less well known were winger Bob Firth and centre-forward Randolph Septimus Galloway both of whom made their mark in Europe as managers. Firth made Real Madrid champions of Spain in 1932/32 and Galloway guided Sporting Lisbon to three Portuguese titles from 1950 to 1953. Back home, Bob Marsters' Forest defeated Everton to win the Victory Shield in 1919. But the master managers were Billy Walker, twenty-one years in office, and Brian Clough, eighteen years in charge. Walker gave the Reds a glorious decade when they climbed from the Third Division South to the top flight and won the FA Cup in 1959. Clough, with Peter Taylor's help, made Forest English champions and twice champions of Europe.

The opposing quarterback dropped back, raised the football, and threw a perfect spiral to his wide open teammate. Again and again the quarterback and his receiver completed passes, resulting in a stunning 35-13 defeat of Army. That school was Notre Dame and the receiver was Knute Rockne: the game of football was transformed. The story of Notre Dame’s passing attack goes back seven years, when the forward pass was first legalized as a means of opening the game up to avoid the fatalities that plagued early football and nearly saw the game banned. A student of the legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg, Jesse Harper, envisioned a mixture of precision passing and running throughout the game, and after arriving at Notre Dame, he schooled his team in his new-fangled approach. In Forward Pass: The Play That Saved Football, Philip L. Brooks introduces the reader to the dirt, spectacle, and emotion of the great teams of the early twentieth century, including Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indians, Stagg’s University of Chicago Maroons, Fielding Yost’s Michigan Wolverines, Johnny Heisman’s Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, and Gil Dobie’s Washington Huskies.

He sat in as coaches dissected game film, he ate dinner at training tables, and he listened in locker rooms. He talked with tailgating fans and college presidents, and he spent months in the company of the gifted young athletes who play the game.Fourth and Long reveals intimate scenes behind closed doors, from a team’s angry face-off with their athletic director to a defensive lineman acing his master’s exams in theoretical math.

Odessa is not known to be a town big on dreams, but the Panthers help keep the hopes and dreams of this small, dusty town going. Socially and racially divided, its fragile economy follows the treacherous boom-bust path of the oil business. In bad times, the unemployment rate barrels out of control; in good times, its murder rate skyrockets. But every Friday night from September to December, when the Permian High School Panthers play football, this West Texas town becomes a place where dreams can come true. With frankness and compassion, H. G. Bissinger chronicles a season in the life of Odessa and shows how single-minded devotion to the team shapes the community and inspires--and sometimes shatters--the teenagers who wear the Panthers' uniforms.

For much of this decade, the Buckeyes have entered the season with very real and realistic national championship hopes. Those hopes became a reality in 2002, and in subsequent years were dashed only by the slightest of margins. Then came 2006, when the expectations again were nothing less than a perfect season and a BCS bowl berth for the national title. OSU's associate athletic director Steve Snapp knew this back in the spring of 2006, which is when he began to pen his personal diary of one of the most memorable seasons in Buckeyes history. His insider's account of the magical 12-0 regular season and the stunning loss to Florida in the national championship game gives fans a rare birds-eye view of the blood, sweat, tears, and love that go into the making of a championship-caliber college football team. Follow the historic season from Snapp's personal accounts that recollect the preseason hype, the spring practices, the non-conference schedule, and then the rigorous, climactic Big Ten slate that ended dramatically with the annual showdown against Michigan. Diary of an Unforgettable Season also details the 51 days between games and OSU's mental and physical preparation for a national title game that went horribly awry.

Little did Kramer know that the 1967 season would be one of the most remarkable in the history of pro football, culminating with the legendary championship game against Dallas now known as the “Ice Bowl,” in which Kramer would play a central role. Nor could he have anticipated that his diary would evolve into a book titled Instant Replay, first published in 1968, that would become a multimillion-copy bestseller and be celebrated by reviewers everywhere, including the Washington Post’s Jonathan Yardley, who calls it “to this day, the best inside account of pro football, indeed the best book ever written about that sport and that league.”This groundbreaking look inside the world of professional football is one of the first books ever to take readers into the locker room and reveal the inner workings of a professional sports franchise. From training camp, through the historic Ice Bowl, then into the locker room of Super Bowl II, Kramer provides a captivating player’s perspective on pro football when the game was all blood, grit, and tears. He also offers a rare and insightful view of the team’s storied leader, Coach Vince Lombardi.

He ignored the cold and walked four miles, famously declaring, I still think it is a fun city.”As profound social, racial, and cultural change sank the city into repeated crises, critics lampooned Lindsay’s fun city.” Yet for all the hard times the city endured during and after his tenure as mayor, there was indeed fun to be had. Against this backdrop, too, the sporting scene saw tremendous upheaval.On one hand, the venerable Yankeeswho had won 15 pennants in an 18-year span before 1965and the NFL’s powerhouse Giants suddenly went into a level of decline neither had known for generations, as stars like Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford on the diamond and Y.A.

Określenie „brazylijski piłkarz” jest jak „francuski szef kuchni”, albo „tybetański mnich”. Narodowość wyraża autorytet, wrodzoną zdolność – bez względu na prawdziwe umiejętności. Alex Bellos, brytyjski dziennikarz, przemierzył Brazylię – od jej wielkich miast do najbardziej zapomnianych wiosek w dżungli, by udowodnić, że właściwie wszystko w piłce, poza samą piłką oczywiście, wymyślili Brazylijczycy. Grają w piłkę guzikami i samochodami. Wynaleźli piłkę błotną, siatkonogę, piłkę plażową futsal, futbol towarzyski. Jeśli więc myślisz, że wymyśliłeś właśnie coś nowego w futbolu, nie ciesz się przedwcześnie. Ktoś w Brazylii na pewno zrobił to przed tobą. W wielu krajach świata futbol nazywany jest sportem dominującym, a czasem awansuje do miana religii. Ale Brazylii to nie dotyczy. Tu piłka jest czymś więcej. Piłka nożna i Brazylia to synonimy. Brazylia jest piłką. Bellos pokazuje brazylijskie społeczeństwo przez pryzmat futbolu, jego historii, największych postaci. Z książki dowiemy się dlaczego, choć cały świat uważa Pelego za najlepszego piłkarza wszech czasów, w Brazylii jest on tylko numerem 2. Dlaczego przegrany finał mistrzostw świata jest ważniejszy niż wszystkie wygrane. Dlaczego Barbosa, bramkarz, który grał w tym finale, stał się pariasem i zmarł w biedzie okryty hańbą. Dlaczego Ronaldo musiał tłumaczyć się przed Parlamentarną Komisją Śledczą z porażki w finale mistrzostw świata.

That history would repeat itself in the 1930s and the 1940s. Stability finally occurred in the 1950s with the arrival of television. Television transformed North American sports. In 1950, Baseball, Boxing and Horse Racing were among the most popular sporting events in the country. Within 10 years, football, the NFL, would begin its ascent and by 1965 become the country's most popular sport.In the old days, you could find Chicago Bears owner and coach George Halas at the Chicago Bears offices in the fall and part of winter, the rest of the year he would be in his Chicago sporting goods store. Andy Robustelli is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame for his work with the Los Angeles Rams and New York Giants. Robustelli was a star with Los Angeles between 1951 and 1955 but requested a trade to New York because he could not be away from his thriving Stamford, Connecticut businesses and the Rams accommodated him. As Hall of Famer Artie Donovan once told me, his NFL of the 1950s bears absolutely no resemblance to today's NFL.The National Football League was in the right place at the right time. There is no better TV game than football. A viewer can see everything as it develops on the field, the line of scrimmage, the quarterback handing off or passing the ball and the receiver catching it. It’s an easy game to watch and it didn't hurt that the New York Giants won a World's Championship in 1956 and played in the ""Greatest Game of All Time"" in 1958, losing in the NFL Championship game to Johnny Unitas and the Baltimore Colts. That game started the lasting love affair between Americans and football. The Giants became the darlings of Madison Avenue, led by the handsome Frank Gifford and football gained acceptance. By 1960, the CBS show ""20th Century"" hosted by Walter Cronkite caught the football bug. The CBS weekly documentary ran a program entitled, ""The Violent World of Sam Huff."" Huff, the Giants middle linebacker was profiled and miked during a pre-season game to give the viewers an inside look during an NFL game.The move from the mom and pop operations, the old football families, the Maras in New York, the Rooneys in Pittsburgh, Halas in Chicago to today's corporate status did not come overnight. The NFL had to fend off a rival league between 1946-49, taking in three All American Football Conference franchises in 1950, and continued to be plagued by franchise failures until 1952. The NFL enjoyed some franchise success between 1953 and 1956 and started to make plans to expand with the goal of adding teams by 1961. The Giants-Colts 1958 Championship Game changed football. Dallas businessman Lamar Hunt, who struck out in his attempts to move the Chicago Cardinals to his home city talked to Houston businessman Bud Adams in 1959 about starting a rival league after Adams failed to purchase the Cardinals and move them to Houston.

In this collection of essays, Barra delves into the gridiron’s all-time greats, some of the sport’s enduring controversies, and suggests new ways to think about the game that holds our attention from August through January, every year. Barra turns his aggressively intelligent writing to the Heisman Trophy and its controversies and demonstrates why the Bowl Championship Series has not and cannot work. He explains how the infamous tie game between Notre Dame and Michigan State in 1966 changed football forever. He compares the careers of Bear Bryant and Vince Lombardi, George Allen and Don Shula, Bart Starr and Johnny Unitas, and Joe Montana and Steve Young, probing beyond the myths that surround each man and creating a new context to understand their achievements. He explains how Notre Dame embraced a destiny in pads, beyond the Gipper mystique and Rockne speeches. No other writer challenges a sport’s myths, untrue truisms, and legends the way Barra does in these essays. The achievement of a writer who manages a balance between establishment insider and outspoken iconoclast, Big Play explores issues and controversies that fire up pigskin fans.

Urlacher, writhing in pain on the Metrodome turf during the team's final game, was the final blow to the Bears' 2011 season, which had begun with a promising 7-3 record, ended with the insult of an 8-8 record, and serious injuries to the team's three biggest stars: Brian Urlacher, Jay Cutler, and Matt Forte. 2011's disappointing end marked the fourth time in the previous five seasons that the Bears failed to make the playoffs. While the most direct cause of the Bears' late-season slump was quarterback Jay Cutler's freak thumb injury in Week 11, a lack of depth, adaptability, and success in the draft meant the lion's share of the blame fell on general manager Jerry Angelo. He, along with controversial offensive coordinator Mike Martz, were dismissed at season's end and replaced by long-time scouting director Phil Emery and former offensive line coach Mike Tice, respectively. While Bears onlookers expected a big move during free agency, Emery surprised everyone by making one of his first acquisitions the all-pro wide receiver Brandon Marshall. Marshall, who played with Cutler for the Denver Broncos, instantly became the most talented receiver ever to grace a Bears roster. The reunion continued when another former Bronco, Jeremy Bates, was brought in to be the quarterbacks coach, completing the triumvirate that helped Cutler and Marshall put up some of their best statistical seasons in Denver. It seemed like the Bears were finally surrounding Cutler with the level of talent he would need to thrive in the pass-happy NFL.Despite added weapons on the offensive end, many questions persisted as the off-season continued. Would Matt Forte's tense contract negotiations be solved before training camp or would a lengthy, damaging holdout follow? Would unheralded first-round pick Shea McClellin help the Bears defensive line issues or would Emery's gamble echo the many draft busts of his predecessor? Would the offensive line protect Cutler enough for him to take advantage of his new weapons? Would Brian Urlacher return at peak form following his gruesome knee injury and mysterious surgery? Your 2012 Chicago Bears is the complete guide to all of the 2012 Bears storylines and an in-depth wrap-up of all of the team's off-season moves. This book will make sure fans are caught up on anything missed over the summer and get them ready for a Bears season filled with high expectations.

He brings the meetings, practice sessions, recruiting calls and game day experience to light like never before. Fans who want to know what goes on behind the scenes will find out in this book.”–RON ZOOK, head football coach, the University of FloridaIn Every Week a Season, acclaimed sports reporter and author Brian Curtis takes readers on an unprecedented whirlwind tour of NCAA Division I football. It’s a world that breeds great drama, a world that millions watch but few understand. It is a multibillion-dollar business. It is an obsession.To get to the beating heart of college football, Curtis embarked on a breakneck itinerary that took him where all red-blooded college football fans long to be: behind the scenes at nine big-time programs. In nine weeks, Curtis visited Colorado State University, the University of Georgia, Boston College, the University of Tennessee, the University of Maryland, the University of Wisconsin, Louisiana State University, Florida State University, and Arizona State University. He braved the rain to watch Wisconsin pull off the upset of the year; he was at Neyland Stadium to see Tennessee manage a thrilling overtime victory; he was in Tallahassee to witness Florida State’s dramatic double overtime battle for the ACC title. As added bonuses, he was with Georgia when the team fought for the SEC Championship, and on the LSU sideline when the boys from Baton Rouge defeated Oklahoma to capture the BCS National Championship. At each stop, he brings us inside the game’s inner sanctum: in team meetings and scouting sessions; on the field and on the sidelines, during scrimmages, practices, and games; at pre-game traditions, meals, and religious services; in the locker room before the game and at half-time. Virtually nothing and no one was off-limits. Along with the players, Curtis got to know the coaches–from the young guns to the legends–spending time with them in their offices and on the road. We see firsthand the challenges of running a major college football program–when called on, coaches must serve as CEOs, PR gurus, lawyers, politicians, and policemen. We also learn of the sacrifices made by wives and children that enable coaches to keep the numerous young athletes under their supervision focused, secure, and happy. Brian Curtis gives a no-holds-barred insider’s account that will rank as one of the most honest and accurate books on big-time sports in America.

Flagrantly flaunting NCAA and NFL Players Association rules, he made no-interest loans to players in exchange for the promise of representation on their lucrative pro contracts. After cleaning up his act in 2003, he moved to a new agency, only to be targeted and pushed out of the business for a new violation-one he arguably did not commit. Then, in October 2010, Luchs wrote a confessional article in Sports Illustrated, telling the truth about what he did and didn't do. Since then he has taken on a new role: whistle-blowing, truth-telling reformer. And in telling his own story, Luchs pulls back the curtain on the real economy of college football: how agents win players legally and otherwise, the staggering sums colleges make from an unpaid workforce, the shortfalls of supposed full-ride scholarships, and the myth of a college education given to scholarship jocks. Including new information about major players and scandalized programs such as USC, Auburn, and Ohio State, this book pulls no punches. It's a stunning and necessary read for anyone who loves the game, and the first step toward fixing a broken system.

A complete passing game must be able to attack a given defensive structure on all levels yet be learnable enough to yield a high degree of efficiency.

An all around nice guy with mad, albeit unorthodox, football skills that saw him shattering high school and college records on the way to the most coveted award in intercollegiate sports, The Heisman Trophy. There was not a cloud in the sky. But then something happened. Game: The Resurrection of Tim Tebow chronicles his rise and sudden fall from grace at the hands of the National Football League. Denver drafted him and he became their ‘Miracle Man’ before being cast aside like yesterday’s newspaper. The Jets took a flyer on him only to realize that they did not know what to do with him and he was a high-priced benchwarmer before being cut loose. Finally the Patriots, long known for turning the unwanted into stars, took a chance…Before cutting him a mere week before the regular season began. Through it all, Tebow retained his faith and good attitude. But there were moments when even Tebow, raised as a religious person with only positive thoughts in his heart, began to show the strain. If you’re looking for the pop culture icon, this is not the book for you. Game: The Resurrection of Tim Tebow is a hardcore story for the diehard football fan who lives by their own code and their own sense of what is important.

In September 2002, in a dingy morgue in downtown Pittsburgh, a young forensic neuropathologist named Bennet Omalu picked up a scalpel and made a discovery that would rattle America in ways he never intended. Omalu was new to America, chasing the dream, a deeply spiritual man escaping the wounds of civil war in Nigeria. The body on the slab in front of him belonged to a fifty-year-old named Mike Webster, aka “Iron Mike,” a Hall of Fame center for the Pittsburgh Steelers, one of the greatest ever to play the game. After retiring in 1990, Webster had suffered a dizzyingly steep decline. Toward the end of his life, he was living out of his van, Tasering himself to relieve his chronic pain, and fixing his rotting teeth with Super Glue. How did this happen?, Omalu asked himself. How did a young man like Mike Webster end up like this? The search for answers would change Omalu’s life forever and put him in the crosshairs of one of the most powerful corporations in America: the National Football League. What Omalu discovered in Mike Webster’s brain—proof that Iron Mike’s mental deterioration was no accident but a disease caused by relentless blows to the head that could affect everyone playing the game—was the one truth the NFL would do anything to keep secret. Taut, gripping, and gorgeously told, Concussion is the stirring true story of one unlikely man’s courageous decision to stand up to a multibillion-dollar colossus bent on silencing him, and to tell the world the truth. Advance praise for Concussion “A gripping medical mystery and a dazzling portrait of the young scientist no one wanted to listen to . . . a fabulous, essential read.”—Rebecca Skloot, author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks“The story of Dr. Bennet Omalu’s battle against the NFL is classic David and Goliath stuff, and Jeanne Marie Laskas—one of my favorite writers on earth—makes it as exciting as any great courtroom or gridiron drama. A riveting, powerful human tale—and a master class on how to tell a story.”—Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit “Bennet Omalu forced football to reckon with head trauma.

The 2014 off-season saw the excitement of Chip Kelly's NFL debut turn ugly fast. Before his second training camp even opened, the coach abruptly cut DeSean Jackson, his popular and explosive wide receiver, who signed with division rival Washington. Reporters wondered whether Kelly was built for the NFL, whether the offensive schemes that dominated the college game could work in the pros, and whether he had the fortitude to handle the media. Kelly responded to his critics by navigating crippling injuries and a fractious locker room to lead the Eagles to a 9-3 record. Then they lost three straight games, a collapse fueled by DeSean Jackson's revenge and, perhaps, Kelly's own stubbornness. Still, the Philadelphia Eagles, with Chip Kelly at the helm, continue to implement a strategy that goes beyond the X’s-and-O’s and into the very fabric of the organization. Mark Saltveit, the author of THE TAO OF CHIP KELLY, illuminates the strategies and philosophies of Chip Kelly in the nitty gritty stories of one NFL season, featuring characters such as Murderleg, Johnny Manziel, and Bryan Braman, the ex-model who grew up homeless and tackled a Titans punt returner head first—without a helmet.

But it's not as happy as it once was, as the child-sex-abuse charges against a longtime coach and the conspiracy of silence surrounding the allegations have rocked America and Division 1 college sports.The shocking stories started to pour out after the November 6, 2011, arrest of Jerry Sandusky, a former coach under the Penn State football legend Joe Paterno. Sandusky had been Paterno's top lieutenant for thirty-two years. He was also the founder of a charity, The Second Mile, that devoted itself to helping disadvantaged youth. It turns out Paterno was told about an incident involving an underage boy showering with Sandusky in the football locker room, but reported the incident to school officials rather than the police. The numerous boys in Sandusky's program who have come forward told a grand jury lurid stories of a sexual predator who stalked and abused them, sometimes even in the showers of Penn State's football complex. In Game Over, journalists Bill Moushey and Bob Dvorchak investigate claims of a startling cover-up within the Penn State hierarchy that attempted to protect its football legacy, quite possibly at the expense of disenfranchised children.Game Over is filled with the shocking details of how a culture built around one deified coach with a glorious vision to have ""success with honor"" fails to act in the best interests of the most vulnerable. University president Graham Spanier has been consumed in this firestorm along with Joe Paterno himself in what spiraled downward into the worst scandal in the history of college sports.",3.41176,3.5,$11.99,224 Pages,English,Football,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/game-over/id490895257?mt=11 708258614,"Women, Sport, Society",Roberta J Park & Patricia Vertinsky,Taylor and Francis,"Sep 13, 2013",Taylor & Francis Group,"Further Reflections, Reaffirming Mary Wollstonecraft","During the last four decades women’s and gender history have become vibrant fields including studies of attitudes regarding the limited physical and other abilities of females as well as studies of the accomplishments of notable female athletes. We have become increasingly aware that women have made contributions to physical education, dance and sport that go far beyond being teachers, athletes and coaches. They have created and implemented an astonishing variety of programs intended to serve the needs of large numbers of children and youth sometimes organizing student health services, as well as chairing departments of physical education. They have worked as directors of sport, physical education and dance, running playgrounds and recreational facilities and have created and/or served as important officers of a variety of sporting organizations. This book explores the contributions and achievements of women in a variety of historical and geographical contexts which, not surprisingly opens opportunities for additions, revisions and counter-narratives to accepted histories of physical education and sport science. It seeks to broaden our understandings about the backgrounds, motivations and achievements of dedicated women working to improve health and bodily practices in a variety of different arenas and for often different purposes.This book was previously published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.",,0.0,$54.99,224 Pages,English,Social Science,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/women-sport-society/id708258614?mt=11 727419843,Controlled Violence,Sam Huff,Triumph Books,"Aug 01, 2011","Chicago Review Press, Inc.

Despite the pronouncement by many coaches that he was too small to play football at the college level, Freddie was a tenacious competitor who vowed to start every game as a varsity Longhorn. By the start of the 1969 season, Freddie was making his mark on the college gridiron and national stage as UT's star safety, but he'd also developed a crippling pain in his thigh that worried his high school sweetheart, Linda. Despite the increasingly debilitating pain, Freddie continued to play throughout the season, helping the Longhorns to rip through opponents like pulpwood. His final game was for the national championship at the end of 1969, when the Longhorns rallied to beat Arkansas in a legendary game that has become known as ""the Game of the Century."" Tragically, bone cancer took Freddie off the field when nothing else could. But nothing could extinguish his irrepressible spirit or keep him away from the game. Although his struggle with cancer would be short-lived, Freddie's fight would inspire the nation as well as thousands of cancer victims, earning him a special citation from President Richard Nixon. Today, a photo of Freddie hangs in the tunnel at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, where players touch it before games en route to the field.

Eric was known for his skill as a key Rutgers defensive lineman and as a much-loved teammate who could make anyone smile. During the heated fourth quarter of a tie game against Army, a crushing tackle left Eric sprawled motionless on the ground while the entire stadium went silent with fear and anticipation. Doctors later discovered that Eric's body was paralyzed from the neck down, marking the beginning of a long, grueling, and emotional road to recovery.What Eric didn't know then, however, was that the months to come would be a remarkable, transformative journey—one so profound that he would call the time since his accident the best years of his life.In this moving memoir, Eric tells the uplifting story of how he is rebuilding his future in the face of hardship. Doctors said that he would never again breathe without a ventilator. Five weeks later, though, he astonished them by drawing breath on his own. He thrilled fans only months later by posting a picture of himself online standing with support during a rehabilitation session. A year after the accident, the nation watched as he led his Rutgers teammates onto the field in his wheelchair—a powerful gesture that was voted best sports moment of 2011 by Sports Illustrated readers.Now, Eric is on his way to graduating from Rutgers University, has a budding career as a sports broadcaster, and uses his experience to spread a message of belief and positivity. He also joined the roster of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in May 2012 in a symbolic move that recognized his ""character, spirit, and perseverance,"" said Bucs head coach Greg Schiano.Though Eric relies on his family, friends, and faith, his belief and hope for a better future make him a role model for anyone who has experienced tragedy or faced daunting obstacles.

It’s no secret that Texas is the capital of legendary football players. From Sammy Baugh to Earl Campbell to Robert Griffin III and scores of others in between, the Lone Star State has produced a heavily decorated list of athletic phenoms—but none has put on a display as explosive and as sudden as that of the kid they call “Johnny Football.” In Johnny Football, Texas sportswriter Mike Shropshire recounts Johnny Manziel’s extraordinary freshman season with Texas A&M in 2012—during which his unparalleled breakout performance made him the first freshman to ever win the illustrious Heisman Trophy—and follows Manziel and the rest of the Aggie squad through the much-hyped 2013 gridiron campaign. In Shropshire’s signature witty, entertaining writing style, the book tells the complete story of an unlikely star who came out of rural obscurity to lead the Aggies to a top-ten ranking in the national polls in 2012 and a victory in the postseason Cotton Bowl. But make no mistake: the tale of “Johnny Football” is larger and deeper than that of one star player. It is the narrative of how a kid from nowhere, with his country-boy values, restored vigor and pride to the Spirit of Aggieland (Gig ’Em!), and this celebration of the A&M faithful and Texas’ gridiron fanaticism is sure to make Johnny Football a treasured tale for years to come.",,0.0,$9.99,288 Pages,English,Football,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/johnny-football/id874329113?mt=11 846159695,Cristiano Ronaldo,Luca Caioli,Roca Editorial de Libros,"May 07, 2014","Roca Editorial de Libros, SL",,"Esta es la biografía más completa de Cristiano Ronaldo, el chico de oro, uno de los futbolistas más caros de la historia y uno de los mejores de todos los tiempos.

At Brockville in a Scottish Cup tie against Falkirk, with Celtic two goals down, he scored directly from a corner kick, had the goal disallowed, and scored again with the retaken corner! A few months earlier he had scored for Ireland against England at Windsor Park with a similar corner kick from the left, and that was after the cheeky Tully had assured his immediate opponent, Alf Ramsey, that the Englishman would never be picked for his country again after he had finished with him!

He shows, for instance, that contrary to popular belief the money coming in to universities from sports programs never makes it to academic departments and rarely even covers the expense of maintaining athletic programs. The bigger and more prominent the sports program, the more money it siphons away from academics.Sperber chronicles the growth of the university system, the development of undergraduate subcultures, and the rising importance of sports. He reveals television's ever more blatant corporate sponsorship conflicts and describes a peculiar phenomenon he calls the ""Flutie Factor""--the surge in enrollments that always follows a school's appearance on national television, a response that has little to do with academic concerns. Sperber's profound re-evaluation of college sports comes straight out of today's headlines and opens our eyes to a generation of students caught in a web of greed and corruption, deprived of the education they deserve.Sperber presents a devastating critique, not only of higher education but of national culture and values.

Pomerantz,Crown/Archetype,"Apr 26, 2005","Random House, LLC",The Night of 100 Points and the Dawn of a New Era,"On the night of March 2, 1962, in Hershey, Pennsylvania, right up the street from the chocolate factory, Wilt Chamberlain, a young and striking athlete celebrated as the Big Dipper, scored one hundred points in a game against the New York Knickerbockers.As historic and revolutionary as the achievement was, it remains shrouded in myth. The game was not televised; no New York sportswriters showed up; and a fourteen-year-old local boy ran onto the court when Chamberlain scored his hundredth point, shook his hand, and then ran off with the basketball. In telling the story of this remarkable night, author Gary M. Pomerantz brings to life a lost world of American sports.In 1962, the National Basketball Association, stepchild to the college game, was searching for its identity. Its teams were mostly white, the number of black players limited by an unspoken quota. Games were played in drafty, half-filled arenas, and the players traveled on buses and trains, telling tall tales, playing cards, and sometimes reading Joyce. Into this scene stepped the unprecedented Wilt Chamberlain: strong and quick-witted, voluble and enigmatic, a seven-footer who played with a colossal will and a dancer’s grace. That strength, will, grace, and mystery were never more in focus than on March 2, 1962. Pomerantz tracked down Knicks and Philadelphia Warriors, fans, journalists, team officials, other NBA stars of the era, and basketball historians, conducting more than 250 interviews in all, to recreate in painstaking detail the game that announced the Dipper’s greatness. He brings us to Hershey, Pennsylvania, a sweet-seeming model of the gentle, homogeneous small-town America that was fast becoming anachronistic. We see the fans and players, alternately fascinated and confused by Wilt, drawn anxiously into the spectacle. Pomerantz portrays the other legendary figures in this story: the Warriors’ elegant coach Frank McGuire; the beloved, if rumpled, team owner Eddie Gottlieb; and the irreverent p.a. announcer Dave “the Zink” Zinkoff, who handed out free salamis courtside.At the heart of the book is the self-made Chamberlain, a romantic cosmopolitan who owned a nightclub in Harlem and shrugged off segregation with a bebop cool but harbored every slight deep in his psyche. March 2, 1962, presented the awesome sight of Wilt Chamberlain imposing himself on a world that would diminish him. Wilt, 1962 is not only the dramatic story of a singular basketball game but a meditation on small towns, midcentury America, and one of the most intriguing figures in the pantheon of sports heroes.

The bravery of the Little Rock Nine, as they became known, captured the country’s imagination and made history but created deep scars in the community. Jay Jennings, a veteran sportswriter and native son of Little Rock, returned to his hometown to take the pulse of the city and the school as the fiftieth anniversary of the integration fight approached. He found a compelling story in the school’s football team, where black and white students came together under longtime coach Bernie Cox, whose philosophy of discipline and responsibility and punishing brand of physical football know no color. A very private man, Cox nevertheless allowed Jennings full access to the team, from a preseason program in July through the Tigers’ final game in November. In the season Jennings masterfully chronicles, the coach finds his ideas sorely tested in his attempts to unify the team, and the result is a story brimming with humor, compassion, frustration, and honesty. Carry the Rock tells the story of the dramatic ups and downs of a high school football season, and it reveals a city struggling with its legacy of racial tension and grappling with complex, subtle issues of contemporary segregation.

An Unlikely Love Story.",Buzz Bissinger,Byliner Inc.,"Apr 19, 2012",Vook INC,,"Nearly twenty-five years ago, H. G. (Buzz) Bissinger, then a young reporter for the “Philadelphia Inquirer,” moved to Odessa, Texas, family in tow, to follow the fortunes of the 1988 Permian High School football team. He hoped to write a celebratory treatment of a team and a town. The result: “Friday Night Lights,” a bestselling American classic that spawned the popular film as well as the series, considered by many one of the best on television. The original book’s most compelling character was James “Boobie” Miles, and his experience in Odessa was, as Bissinger puts it in his daringly honest sequel “After Friday Night Lights,” “a symbol of everything that was wrong with high school football.” The complex friendship between subject and author has deepened over the years, and is, Bissinger writes, “the most lasting legacy of ‘Friday Night Lights,’ or at least the legacy I care about most.” Heading into the 1988 season, Miles looked like a star-in-the-making, a sure bet to ascend to college and the NFL. Abandoned by his mother, beaten by his dad, he had scraped through a rough upbringing, but it appeared that success on the field was soon to redeem his pain. Then, in a meaningless preseason scrimmage, Boobie blew out his knee. By midseason he was off the team, no longer needed by his coaches, who had found themselves a new running back. “After Friday Night Lights”—an original 45-page story written to be read in a single sitting—follows Boobie through the dark years he suffered after his injury right up to a present that is imbued with a new kind of hope. It is the indelible portrait of the oddest of enduring friendships: that of a writer and his subject, a “neurotic Jew” and a West Texas oil-field worker, a white man raised in privilege and a black man brought up in poverty and violence, and a father and his ""fourth son."" Their story encompasses the realities of race and class in America. And reveals with heartbreaking accuracy how men rise again after their dreams are broken. It is a must-read for fans of the book, the movie, and the television series.

Beloved by fans of the Alabama Crimson Tide, by the time he retired from coaching following the 1982 season, his teams had won 323 games, a feat unmatched by any coach in college football history. Before arriving in Tuscaloosa, he had coached at Maryland, Kentucky, and Texas A&M ; his teams at Alabama won six national championships and thirteen Southeastern Conference titles. On July 17, 1981, Coach Bryant sat in his office at Memorial Coliseum reminiscing with sports columnist Al Browning of the Tuscaloosa News. Contemplating the twilight of his career, he calmly said, ""They'll forget me as soon as I croak and am buried"". When Browning objected, Coach smiled slightly and said, ""No, that's the way it is.

Eisenhower. But beyond telling the tale of this momentous event, Lars Anderson also reveals the broader social and historical context of the match, lending it his unique perspectives on sports and culture at the dawn of the twentieth century.This story begins with the infamous massacre of the Sioux at Wounded Knee, in 1890, then moves to rural Pennsylvania and the Carlisle Indian School, an institution designed to “elevate” Indians by uprooting their youths and immersing them in the white man’s ways. Foremost among those ways was the burgeoning sport of football. In 1903 came the man who would mold the Carlisle Indians into a juggernaut: Glenn “Pop” Warner, the son of a former Union Army captain. Guided by Warner, a tireless innovator and skilled manager, the Carlisle eleven barnstormed the country, using superior team speed, disciplined play, and tactical mastery to humiliate such traditional powerhouses as Harvard, Yale, Michigan, and Wisconsin–and to, along the way, lay waste American prejudices against Indians. When a troubled young Sac and Fox Indian from Oklahoma named Jim Thorpe arrived at Carlisle, Warner sensed that he was in the presence of greatness. While still in his teens, Thorpe dazzled his opponents and gained fans across the nation. In 1912 the coach and the Carlisle team could feel the national championship within their grasp.Among the obstacles in Carlisle’s path to dominance were the Cadets of Army, led by a hardnosed Kansan back named Dwight Eisenhower. In Thorpe, Eisenhower saw a legitimate target; knocking the Carlisle great out of the game would bring glory both to the Cadets and to Eisenhower. The symbolism of this matchup was lost on neither Carlisle’s footballers nor on Indians across the country who followed their exploits. Less than a quarter century after Wounded Knee, the Indians would confront, on the playing field, an emblem of the very institution that had slaughtered their ancestors on the field of battle and, in defeating them, possibly regain a measure of lost honor.Filled with colorful period detail and fascinating insights into American history and popular culture, Carlisle vs. Army gives a thrilling, authoritative account of the events of an epic afternoon whose reverberations would be felt for generations.""Carlisle vs. Army is about football the way that The Natural is about baseball.”–Jeremy Schaap, author of IFrom the Hardcover edition.",4.57143,4.5,$11.99,368 Pages,English,Football,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/carlisle-vs.-army/id420772717?mt=11 530453385,Barça - Real Madrid,Alfredo Gatius & José María Huch,LID Editorial,"May 01, 2012",LID JPB Publishing Inc.,Compitiendo por liderar el negocio del fútbol,"En poco más de diez años Real Madrid y F.C.

Paradise, for better or worse, was a hardwood court in Midtown Manhattan.When the Garden Was Eden is the definitive account of how the New York Knickerbockers won their first and only championships, and in the process provided the nation no small escape from the Vietnam War, the tragedy at Kent State, and the last vestiges of Jim Crow. The Knicks were more than a team; they were a symbol of harmony, the sublimation of individual personalities for the greater collective good.No one is better suited to revive the old chants of “Dee-fense!” that rocked Madison Square Garden or the joy that radiated courtside than Harvey Araton, who has followed the Knicks, old and new, for decades—first as a teenage fan, then as a young sports reporter with the New York Post, and now as a writer and columnist for the New York Times. Araton has traveled to the Louisiana home of the Captain, Willis Reed (after writing a column years earlier that led to his abrupt firing as the Knicks’ short-lived coach); he has strolled the lush gardens of Walt “Clyde” Frazier’s St. Croix oasis; discussed the politics of that turbulent era with Senator Bill Bradley; toured Baltimore’s church basement basketball leagues with Black Jesus himself, Earl “the Pearl” Monroe; played memory games with Jerry “the Brain” Lucas; explored the Tao of basketball with Phil “Action” Jackson; and sat through eulogies for Dave DeBusschere, the lunch-bucket, 23-year-old player-coach lured from Detroit, and Red Holzman, the scrappy Jewish guard who became a coaching legend.In When the Garden Was Eden, Araton not only traces the history of New York’s beloved franchise—from Ned Irish to Spike Lee to Carmelo Anthony—but profiles the lives and careers of one of sports’ all-time great teams, the Old Knicks. With measured prose and shoe-leather reporting, Araton relives their most glorious triumphs and bitter rivalries, and casts light on a time all but forgotten outside of pregame highlight reels and nostalgic reunions—a time when the Garden, Madison Square, was its own sort of Eden.",3.57895,3.5,$11.99,384 Pages,English,Basketball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/when-the-garden-was-eden/id454179562?mt=11 891259877,Fantasy Football (and Baseball) for Smart People: How to Turn Your Hobby into a Fortune,Jonathan Bales,Jonathan Bales,"Jun 17, 2014",Smashwords,,"Some people play fantasy sports with family and friends.

Their uncommonly competitive relationship came to symbolize the most compelling rivalry in the NBA. These were the basketball epics of the 1980s — Celtics vs Lakers, East vs West, physical vs finesse, Old School vs Showtime, even white vs black. Each pushed the other to greatness — together Bird and Johnson collected eight NBA Championships, six MVP awards and helped save the floundering NBA at its most critical time. When it started they were bitter rivals, but along the way they became lifelong friends. With intimate, fly-on-the-wall detail, When the Game Was Ours transports readers to this electric era of basketball and reveals for the first time the inner workings of two players dead set on besting one another. From the heady days of trading championships to the darker days of injury and illness, we come to understand Larry’s obsessive devotion to winning and how his demons drove him on the court. We hear him talk with candor about playing through chronic pain and its truly exacting toll. In Magic we see a young, invincible star struggle with the sting of defeat, not just as a player but as a team leader. We are there the moment he learns he’s contracted HIV and hear in his own words how that devastating news impacted his relationships in basketball and beyond. But always, in both cases, we see them prevail.A compelling, up-close-and-personal portrait of basketball’s most inimitable duo, When the Game Was Ours is a reevaluation of three decades in counterpoint.

“Your team never had a chance.”
That’s what Terry Pluto, one of Cleveland’s top sportswriters, realized after taking a hard look at the unhappy beginnings of the new Cleveland Browns franchise. This book chronicles what he found: backroom deals, big-money power plays, poor decisions, and plain bad luck that have dogged the venerable team ever since Art Modell skipped town in 1995.
When the new Cleveland Browns took the field in 1999, it was supposed to be the dawn of a grand new era of football in Cleveland. Instead, it was a rude wakeup call.
Legions of loyal fans—once heartsick, abandoned, and disgusted at the loss of their team in 1995—were ready to forgive the past and embrace the future . . . a new owner, a new team, a new stadium. They just wanted their Browns back. But it soon became clear: Browns fans got a bum deal. The NFL had traded one of the most storied teams in football history for a franchise mired in mediocrity.
These fans, after owner Art Modell skipped town with their beloved Browns, became the only fans ever to take on the NFL, demand their team back—and win. Yet while they were celebrating the supposed victory that kept “our name, our colors, our team” in Cleveland, fans should have been looking over their shoulders and keeping a close watch on the NFL. There would be few reasons to celebrate in the years to come.
How much longer would they have to wait for a return to glory? Pluto sifts through the clues and looks for answers. This is a book the NFL does not want you to read.

C’è riuscito a diventare sul serio il Capitano –era arrivato alla Terrazza Martini come uno qualunque, giusto un’intuizione di Massimo Moratti- e poi lo abbiamo rivisto là, a Madrid, piangeva di gioia, alzava la Champions al cielo. In mezzo, il legame con Giacinto Facchetti, innumerevoli allenamenti, il primo labrador suggerito da Roberto Baggio, Paula prima fidanzata e sposa e madre di tre figli, quei compagni di squadra incredibili, da Ronaldo a Eto’o, l'impegno per la Fondacion Pupi, la sua storia che è la stessa di un’Inter padrona dell’Italia, dell’Europa e del Mondo passata indenne attraverso il disastro del calcio italiano. L’ebook ‘Javier Zanetti. Il Capitano’ è disponibile per tutti, in italiano, inglese e spagnolo attraverso Skira Editore, per un viaggio incredibile attraverso prospettive esclusive, quelle di un dietro le quinte lungo quanto la carriera di Javier Zanetti, recordman in tinta nerazzurra, ma anche con la maglia dell’Argentina. E’ la testimonianza della vita eccezionale di un uomo che ha saputo tenersi stretto un sogno, dedicato ai nerazzurri, lungo come la sua vita con questi colori, intessuto di momenti di vita privata, di uscite pubbliche, di Coppe alzate al cielo. Integrità, lavoro, impegno e gioia. Nel nome di ‘Javier Zanetti. Il Capitano’, imperdibile, per chi ha il culto della storia dell’Inter. Trattandosi di un'opera illustrata con numerose immagini a colori, l'ebook 'Javier Zanetti il Capitano' è ottimizzato per la fruizione orizzontale su Tablet, Pc e Mac ed è disponibile su iBooks, Kobo e Google Play.

A year before Pittsburgh’s first Super Bowl victory launched a decade of domination, Roy Blount Jr. spent a season traveling with the team, recording the ups and downs, both large and small, in the lives of men who would soon reach the pinnacle of success in their sport. He covers everything from the birth of the “Steel Curtain” defense to the unique connection the people of Pittsburgh had with their hard-nosed team.Interspersed with vivid depictions of players like Terry Bradshaw, “Mean” Joe Greene, and Ernie “Fats” Holmes, as well as the team owners, the Rooney clan, About Three Bricks Shy of a Load harks back to a bygone era when offensive linemen could weigh about the same as the backs they blocked for, when the highest-paying team’s highest-paid player—Bradshaw—made $400,000, and when one team was able to win four Super Bowls in six years—a feat that remains unrivaled today.Uproariously funny and brilliantly written, About Three Bricks Shy of a Load was named one of the Top 100 Sports Books of All Time by Sports Illustrated.“A terrific book . . . I have never read anything else on pro football, fiction or nonfiction, as good as this.” —The New York Times Book Review“The best of all books about pro football.” —The New Yorker“Funny, smart, perceptive and winning . . . It’s actually far less about football than about people.” —The Washington Post“Both a literary and journalistic masterpiece. . . . At last, a superb and superbly hilarious writer has gone deep beneath the surface of the sport and wrenched the truth from it.” —Dan Jenkins, author of Semi-ToughRoy Blount Jr. is the author of twenty-three books. The first, About Three Bricks Shy of a Load, was expanded into About Three Bricks Shy . . . and the Load Filled Up. It is often called one of the best sports books of all time. His subsequent works have taken on a range of subjects, from Duck Soup, to Robert E. Lee, to what cats are thinking, to how to savor New Orleans, to what it’s like being married to the first woman president of the United States. Blount is a panelist on NPR’s Wait Wait . . . Don’t Tell Me!, an ex-president of the Authors Guild, a usage consultant for the American Heritage Dictionary, a New York Public Library Literary Lion, and a member of both the Fellowship of Southern Writers and the band the Rock Bottom Remainders. In 2009, Blount received the University of North Carolina’s Thomas Wolfe Prize. The university cited “his voracious appetite for the way words sound and for what they really mean.” Time places Blount “in the tradition of the great curmudgeons like H. L. Mencken and W. C. Fields.” Norman Mailer has said, “Page for page, Roy Blount is as funny as anyone I’ve read in a long time.” Garrison Keillor told the Paris Review, “Blount is the best. He can be literate, uncouth, and soulful all in one sentence.” Blount’s essays, articles, stories, and verses have appeared in over one hundred and fifty publications, including the New Yorker, the New York Times, Esquire, the Atlantic, Sports Illustrated, the Oxford American, and Garden & Gun.

Stratton,Crown/Archetype,"Sep 09, 2003","Random House, LLC",Inside the Blood Feud Between Texas and Texas A&M,"It happens once a year, creating a seismic divide throughout the country. It pits brother against brother. It breaks up business deals. It ruins relationships. And once it’s finished, all both sides want is for another year to pass by so they can do it again. It is the Texas/Texas A& M football game. And in the football-obsessed state that is Texas, no single game resonates more. Every year during the Thanksgiving holidays, the two teams meet for something that has become much more than just a game. It’s a blood feud that represents a tremendous cultural divide in the state. It’s city against country, a rural agricultural school against an urban university. And yet both sides come from the same family, warring cousins who roll up their sleeves once a year in the backyard to settle the question of who’s number one—at least for the time being.In Backyard Brawl, W. K. Stratton takes you through this rivalry and its history, covering the years when the game was postponed because the fans were just too violent, the branding of UT’s beloved steer, Bevo, by a renegade Aggie, the kidnapping of A&M’s beloved Reveille by boisterous UT students, the theft of UT’s cannon, Old Smokey, and its unceremonious dumping into the murky waters of Austin’s Town Lake, and the fistfights that broke out when celebrating UT fans rushed A&M’s nearly sacred Kyle Field after Texas won the last-ever Southwest Conference title on the Aggies’ home turf.Stratton also relates the more serious side of the rivalry, particularly the way both schools came together after tradition turned to tragedy in 1999, when the A&M bonfire collapse killed twelve students. And in a touching epilogue, he captures the angst that hit the College Station campus when officials decided to cancel the return of the bonfire in 2002.Stratton drew a bead on the 2001 season and followed both teams through their schedules leading up to the big clash in College Station. Taking you inside a renowned Aggie Yell practice and introducing you to fervid yet often zany orange-blooded Texas fans through their elaborate tailgating rituals, he creates revealing portraits of the two teams, including head coaches R. C. Slocum and Mack Brown, both of whom are legends in their own time, destined for the Hall of Fame. Backyard Brawl is a fascinating examination of the greatest war in college football, destined to become a classic for students of the game.From the Trade Paperback edition.",,0.0,$11.99,272 Pages,English,Football,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/backyard-brawl/id420772268?mt=11 903440981,Echoes from the Endzone - The Men We Became,Lisa Kelly,Dog Ear Publishing,"Jul 25, 2014",Dog Ear Publishing,,"The Notre Dame Student-Athlete: Sports fans may have an idea of what it takes to play football at a Division I college: the training, the discipline, the pain, the motivation.

We all like to think that (with a little practice) we could run faster, learn another language, or whip up a perfect soufflé. But few of us ever put those hopes to the test. In Year of the Dunk, Asher Price does, and he seizes on basketball’s slam dunk--a feat richly freighted with distinctly American themes of culture, race, and upward mobility--as a gauge to determine his own hidden potential. The showmanship of the dunk mesmerized Asher as a child, but even with his height (six foot plus) and impressive wingspan, he never pushed himself to try it. Now, approaching middle age, Asher decides to spend a year remaking his body and testing his mind as he wonders, like most adults, what untapped talent he still possesses. In this humorous and often poignant journey into the pleasures and perils of exertion, Asher introduces us to a memorable cast of characters who help him understand the complexity of the human body and the individual drama at the heart of sports. Along the way he dives into the history and science of one of sports' most exuberant acts, examining everything from our genetic predisposition towards jumping to the cultural role of the slam dunk.

Trailing 14-12 late in the fourth quarter against the Oakland Raiders in an icy, windy playoff game, the Browns opted to eschew a field-goal attempt and go for a touchdown.

Knight takes us through that unforgettable year from beginning to end, describing in great detail how the city simply fell in love with this team. It was the year long-suffering Cleveland sports fans finally had something to be proud of. Tickets were at a premium, players were pursued like rock stars, and songs were written about their on-field heroics. This was a team made up of individuals who weren't expected to be headline grabbers. It had a personable, often humorous head coach and a starting quarterback who was supposed to be too short, too slow, and whose arm was far too weak (and who, by the way, became the National Football League's Most Valuable Player in 1980). A group of football journeymen came together to form the best offensive line in the NFL, and a beleaguered defense improved just enough to help the team realize its destiny. Though the Cleveland Browns boast four world championships and possess a rich and respected past, the magical 1980 season was clearly the most memorable in team history.

Da Bears! tells the full story of the ’85 legends—with all the controversy and excitement—on the field and off. It’s been 25 years since the Chicago Bears won Super Bowl XX with what Bill Parcells called “the best defensive team I’ve ever seen” and an offense surprisingly good for a franchise where offense was often a dirty word. Now, for the first time, an incredibly candid book takes you through all the games and behind the scenes—into the huddles, the locker rooms, the team meetings, and of course the bars—for an intimate account of that unforgettable season. Here’s how a team that got booed in its regular-season opener ended up winning its first world championship in 22 years, led by the most capable, colorful, and un-PC characters ever to strap on helmets—including Jim McMahon, the hard partyer and so-called punk rocker who became a star quarterback and an antihero; William “Refrigerator” Perry, the rookie giant who turned into a full-blown national sensation; Mike Ditka, the legendarily combative head coach called “Sybil” for his mercurial moods; his nemesis, defensive coordinator, Buddy Ryan, who insulted and broke down his players, then built them back up again, military-style; Walter Payton, the hard-nosed running back and mischievous prankster; and middle linebacker Mike Singletary, known for his leadership and his jarring hits.

Ma se sei un difensore e non ti fai mai espellere nemmeno una volta e ne giochi altre settantotto con la Nazionale, e non offendi mai nessuno in tutta la tua carriera, forse lo diventi per tutti. Gaetano Scirea era davvero un angelo caduto nel mondo del pallone, come lo descrisse Enzo Bearzot, un angelo morto troppo presto, a soli trentasei anni, in un incidente d'auto in Polonia.

E proprio come in uno specchio, Giorgio Chiellini, la bandiera della Juve di oggi, è andato a cercarlo, nella memoria e nelle immagini, nelle sue gesta e nei suoi silenzi, per raccontare, in fondo, una lezione di vita e di sport. Chiellini è un difensore all'inglese, che ha fatto dell'ardore e della forza le sue armi migliori. Non ha la tecnica di Scirea, che era un libero alla Beckenbauer, come si diceva allora. Però, proprio da queste diversità, nasce la bellezza di un incontro fra anime lontane, che hanno finito per fare lo stesso mestiere, con la stessa maglia, quasi amici per la pelle, pur senza conoscersi.

He'll tell you how we got to the present state—where an agent who makes millions off the game can't sit through one; why our NBA stars couldn't capture Olympic gold; and why the game he loves is in dire need of help.Glass has seen it all as the representative of players like Mark Eaton, the seven-foot-five center found working as a mechanic because he hated basketball; Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, who converted to Islam and brought the wrath of the league upon him when he refused to stand for the National Anthem; and first-round draft pick Quincy Douby, who was forced to enter the draft before graduating from Rutgers because of the harsh NCAA rules regarding college eligibility.With informative chapters such as ""How to Feed Your Family on Only $14 Million a Year,"" ""Eighty-one Feet of White Centers,"" and ""From 6'11"" to the 7- Eleven,"" Glass shatters the myth of NBA marketing: that everything about the game is great, and that as long as the fans in the luxury boxes are happy and weighed down with expensive merchandise, all is well. But have no fear! Keith Glass doesn't preach about the evils of highlight film slam-dunks—he'll just have you falling down laughing as he flagrantly fouls the league that was once the envy of the pro sports world.",,0.0,$7.99,304 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/taking-shots/id360604721?mt=11 713402351,Vagrant Kings,R.E. Graswich,R.E. Graswich,"Sep 22, 2013",Robert Edward Graswich,"David Stern, Kevin Johnson And The NBA's Orphan Team","An inside account of NBA Commissioner David Stern's obsession with building a home for the Sacramento Kings, a tragically cursed, road-weary basketball team in Northern California. Stern worked more than a decade to anchor the Kings in Sacramento, guiding NBA owners to reject a record-setting offer from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to move the franchise to Seattle. Written by a veteran journalist and political staffer, who worked on the Kings' project with Stern and Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, ""Vagrant Kings"" provides an unprecedented look at Stern and the political, cultural and economic impact of the NBA on its host cities. The author explores the special relationship between Stern and Mayor Johnson, a former NBA all-star who never forgave his home-town team in Sacramento for failing to draft him in 1987. The book traces the history of the Kings from their Great Depression barnstorming origins in Rochester, N.Y., and explains how they became the most migratory franchise in American major league sports. The narrative follows the team through Cincinnati, Kansas City and Omaha, on its way to California. ""Vagrant Kings"" describes the Kings' often-fractured and sometimes tragic relationships with Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, Maurice Stokes, Oscar Robertson, Danny Ainge, Dick Motta, Ron Artest, Chris Webber, Olden Polynice, Bobby Hurley, Wayman Tisdale and other NBA notables. ""The appropriate outcome"" is the phrase Stern uses when a group of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, led by Vivek Ranadive, buy the Kings and vow to keep them in California, despite having been out-bid by Ballmer. Ranadive becomes the first person born in India to own an NBA franchise. Unmatched in scope, access and reflections on the emotional, political and financial decisions that swirl around major-league sports in America, ""Vagrant Kings"" is the first book to provide a deeply personal and detailed look at how David Stern runs the NBA, and how the NBA impacts its host communities.",,0.0,$8.99,310 Pages,English,Basketball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/vagrant-kings/id713402351?mt=11 910742342,NABC's Handbook for Teaching Basketball Skill Progressions,Jerry Krause and Others,Coaches Choice,"Aug 19, 2003",Coaches Choice - Healthy Learning - ACA Bookstore,,"Coaches Jerry Krause of Gonzaga and Curtis Janz of Oklahoma Christian combine forces with renowned physical education and human performance specialist James H.

From 1991 through 1993 the Bulls won three consecutive NBA titles behind the talents of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. When Jordan retired in the fall of 1993, those fans thought the good times were over. In the fall of 1995, however, Jordan was ready to make a full return to NBA action, Pippen was still the best number-two man in basketball, and then bad-boy Dennis Rodman was signed to join the franchise that had grown to hate him. Suddenly, the Bulls had the greatest team in NBA history. Tales from the Chicago Bulls Locker Room tells some of the inside stories from that team, the one that won three more NBA titles from 1996 through 1998. Seen from the eyes of three-time NBA champion center Bill Wennington, the Bulls come to life from an insider’s point of view.

He was surrounded by the best supporting cast of his career: Hal Greer and Chet Walker, two talented offensive stars transplanted from a bygone NBA franchise; Luke Jackson, the league's first true power forward; Billy Cunningham, a sixth man loaded with instant energy and offense; Wally Jones and Larry Costello, a pair of basketball reclamation projects; and, Matty Guokas and Bill Melchionni, a couple of hometown rookies.Chamberlain remade his game, forsaking his own incredible scoring prowess in favor of handing out assists to teammates. In turn, the 76ers remade basketball history, rocketing to an unmatched 46-4 record out of the gate and not stopping until they reached 68-13, a regular season mark never previously achieved in NBA history--or even imagined back then.The book gives fans a fascinating, month-by-month look at the team's amazing season, a season that also saw Chamberlain pursued by both a rival basketball league and the heavyweight boxing champion of the world. It also recounts in vivid, play-by-play detail one of the most historic playoff series in the annals of the NBA.s20The 76ers battled the Celtics again in a much-anticipated post-season confrontation. But this time the results would be different. Amid chants of ""Boston is dead"" from the long-suffering, Celtics-hating fans at Philadelphia's Convention Hall, the 76ers won the series quickly and decisively. They went on to defeat sharp-shooting Rick Barry and the San Francisco Warriors for the NBA title.In 1995, the 76ers took their place among the top ten teams in NBA history. Season of the 76ers makes the strong case that they are the best NBA team of all time. Packed with pictures, playoff box scores, and reproductions of the 76ers' championship yearbook, the book is not only the biography of a great team, it is a fun- and fact-filled sports collectible.The NBA's 2001-2002 season marks the 35th anniversary of that special ""Season of the 76ers""--a fitting time to relive this team's unforgettable achievements.",4.0,4.0,$7.99,250 Pages,English,Basketball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/season-of-the-76ers/id460105387?mt=11 470485889,Passi da gigante,Dino Meneghin,Rizzoli,"Oct 05, 2011",RCS Libri S.p.A.,La mia vita vista dall'alto,"Si potrebbe cominciare da quel giorno d’inverno del 1963 in cui un giovanissimo Dino si presentò al suo primo allenamento con la Ignis Varese indossando un paio di splendide Superga rosse, giusto il colore degli acerrimi rivali del Simmenthal Milano. Oppure da quell’abbraccio al figlio Andrea, nel 1990, alla fine dello storico match in cui si affrontarono in campo da avversari: unico caso di scontro diretto fra due generazioni nella storia del basket italiano. O ancora dalle vittorie più belle: i due “grandi Slam” (scudetto, Coppa dei Campioni, Coppa Italia e Coppa Intercontinentale), uno con Varese nel 1970, l’altro con Milano nel 1987, l’argento olimpico con la Nazionale nel 1980, l’oro europeo nel 1983. E come dimenticare quel 5 settembre 2003, data d’ingresso di Dino nella Hall of Fame di Springfield, “l’arca della gloria del basket”? Da qualsiasi punto si scelga di iniziare a raccontarla, la carriera di Dino Meneghin – amato follemente dai suoi tifosi, rispettato dagli avversari non solo per la sua grinta sotto canestro ma anche per le eccezionali qualità umane – resta meravigliosa, inimitabile. Passi da gigante ci offre l’occasione di ripercorrerla per la prima volta… dall’alto, insieme con Dino, ma anche di scoprire un basket di uomini veri e ragazzi terribili, ai tempi in cui nascondere casse di vino fresco nei bagni dei ritiri, riempire a tradimento di schiuma la vasca dell’idromassaggio e farcire le scarpe di un malcapitato compagno con la crema per i piedi erano “gesti tecnici” necessari per vincere, non meno di un terzo tempo, di un rimbalzo o di un canestro nel momento clou di una serie scudetto.",,0.0,$14.99,288 Pages,Italian,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/passi-da-gigante/id470485889?mt=11 979118269,Martha's Vineyard Basketball,Bijan C.

A world where NBA All Stars matchup against Footlocker Employees, where FIBA World Champions face High School Wannabes and where the salary of one team’s twelfth man equals that of this team’s entire roster. Faced with a physically torturous and spirit crushing season like no other, fifteen men battle the opposition, each other and themselves to succeed simultaneously against everyone from the Sport’s Bottom Feeders and those who feast at its Highest Table. Eighty one games over a mere eight months in fourteen countries for just one team; this team.The spotlight of Professional Basketball shines brightest on the chosen few, however once in a lifetime a select few from the humble majority get their twenty four seconds of fame. Semi-Pro-Am follows the reality of fifteen such men forever connected by their shared experience of reaching competitive heights beyond their wildest dreams while simultaneously battling though the juxtaposition of Basketball Backwaters.When offered a chance, the Manager of London’s biggest Basketball Club laid everything on the line to compete at a level no British team had ever before reached. Craving to sit at the top table with Europe’s most established Clubs as a part of the fledgling Continental Basketball scene, his story is one that will ring true for any underdog that has ever given their all and struggled to be unleashed.Charged with guiding his team through a torturous eighty game season, The Coach fought an ongoing battle to reach the summit of his Profession. Challenged daily by his Players, the Management and his own temperament, he was forced to handle the pressures of coaching three seasons in one. His plight and struggle to endure will be familiar to anyone who has ever or wants to succeed in this most stimulating of Professions.Recruited from all walks of life, twelve Players willed their overmatched bodies to compete with the very best in Europe while simultaneously searching for the motivation to retain their domestic title in Basketball’s Basement. Through a sometimes unwinnable schedule often compromising of nine games in five different countries over fifteen nights, their ambition to overcome will motivate everyone who has ever felt the fire of competitive spirit.Continually overstretched to breaking point and pushing the limits of a collective will, Semi-Pro-Am provides a firsthand insight into the intricate relationships that exists between all levels from Semi Professional to Amateur and the full time Professionals caught in between. A firsthand account of how an ever changing set of incredible circumstances set off a chain reaction with ramifications effecting everyone closest to them. Filled with a heartbreaking realism, at times almost fictional coincidence and the cruel humor that became everyday occurrences when people spend more time with their teammates than their families. Seasoned Veteran Professional Players, Unpaid Interns, Part Time Postmen, Wealthy Businessmen, Amateur High School Drop Outs, Next Generation Coaches and Semi Professional Athletes all play their part.Semi-Pro-Am continually shifts the spotlight from Center Court to the shadows of Professional Basketball and back again. Connecting Flights to Tour Buses, Locker Rooms to Hotel Rooms, Health Clubs to Night Clubs and Barcelona to Brighton; the reader follows in the footsteps of this once in a lifetime team that became like no other. For the first time, revealing true stories played out by those closest to the game you love; unwrapping secrets that you thought existed but could never before see.

Quietly, he has been instrumental in the team’s growth from a shoestring operation that couldn’t compete to a model NBA franchise that is always on the short list of title contenders. He has been a firsthand witness of the league’s evolution, from Bird and Magic, to Jordan, to LeBron and Yao Ming. Jerry Reynolds has been a human Swiss Army knife, serving the Kings as a scout, assistant coach, head coach, player personnel director, general manager, and television analyst. Because he has held so many positions in the Kings’ front office the last two decades, Jerry has a unique perspective on how the Kings have evolved, and he offers that perspective in Tales from the Sacramento Kings Locker Room.For those who’ve been on the Kings bandwagon only the last decade, it wasn’t always C-Webb, Peja, and Bibby.

Now imagine that he was blind until the age of six and that he’s the first black student to attend his suburban school. And there you have Michael Thompson in 1965 in San Bruno, California. He played at the school where a young English teacher was coaching “lightweight basketball,” a competition for smaller players that has since disappeared.

It is a tale of cliffhanger games and players as outsized in character as they are short in stature, from the wild-haired, bespectacled “Professor” to the well-traveled Latvian dubbed “Suitcase” to the quiet and tenacious “Salt,” as in “of the earth.” But it is also a tale of the time—of counterculture, suburbia, integration, and racial brawls erupting on the court.

For years, the boys and their legendary coach gave fans in central Kentucky, deep in the heart of basketball country, just what they wanted: state titles, national rankings, and countless trips to Kentucky's one-of-a-kind state tournament, where winning and losing can change a young man's life. But in 2009, with the economy sputtering, anger rising, and Scott County mired in a two-year drought, fans had begun to lose faith in the boys. They weren't the heroes of Scott County anymore; they were ""mini-athlete gods,"" haunted by dreams, burdened by expectations, and desperate to escape through the only means they knew: basketball. In Outside Shot, Keith O'Brien takes us on an epic journey, from the bluegrass hills and broken homes of rural America, to inner-city Lexington, to Kentucky's most hallowed hall: Rupp Arena, where high school tournament games are known to draw twenty-thousand people, and where, for the players and their fans, it feels like anything is possible. The narrative follows four of the team's top seniors and their coach as they struggle to redeem themselves in the face of impossible odds: once-loyal fans now turned against them, parents who demand athletic greatness, and scouts who weigh their every move. It delves deep inside the lives of the boys, their families, and their community---divided along lines of race, politics, religion, and sports. And it chronicles not only the high-stakes world of Kentucky basketball, but the battle for the soul of small-town America. A story of inspiration and poignancy, filled with moments of drama on and off the court, Outside Shot shows that if it's hard to win basketball games, it can be even harder to win at life itself.",4.0,4.0,$9.99,250 Pages,English,Basketball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/outside-shot/id550170234?mt=11 877422439,Shaq Talks Back,Shaquille O'Neal,St. Martin's Press,"Jul 01, 2014","Macmillan / Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC",,"It's rare to discover a candid sports autobiography-- even rare when the author is one of the most recognizable athletes in the world.

But for all his greatness, this scion of a complex family from North Carolina's Coastal Plain has a darker side: he's a ruthless competitor and a lover of high stakes. There's never been a biography that encompassed the dual nature of his character and looked so deeply at Jordan on and off the court -- until now.Basketball journalist Roland Lazenby spent almost thirty years covering Michael Jordan's career in college and the pros.

Instead, it is a true passion among players, coaches, and committed sports enthusiasts who share in its every success and setback. Outside the Limelight is the first book to look inside Ivy League basketball and at the boundless enthusiasm that defines it. With painstaking reportage, Kathy Orton vividly captures the internal fervor of the personalities who champion their gameùall the triumphs and disappointments of an Ivy hoop season. Scholarships for student athletes? None, and this is the only Division I conference that does not offer them. The TV spotlight? It barely shines, despite the passion, talent, and commitment of the players. Megadollar contracts from the NBA? Rarely does a player receive an offer. These age-old institutions are better known for turning out presidents, not point guards, and CEOs and captains of industry, not centers on the court. Orton weaves together the stories of coaches and players as they move from fall practice through an entire season and ahead to the NCAA tournament. From Harvard to Penn, Princeton to Cornell and beyond, playersùperhaps more accustomed to pomp and circumstanceùface leaky gyms, endure long bus rides, rigorous courseloads, and unbearable exam schedules.

Burns Jr.,Northeastern University Press,"Sep 08, 2012",Ingram DV LLC,UConn Basketball In the Calhoun Era,"After the 2012 season, the UConn basketball program appeared to be on the decline. Several high-profile players departed early and the NCAA confirmed that it would ban the Huskies from the 2013 NCAA tournament. But Jim Calhoun--the man who built the program in the first place--still reigned in Storrs and vowed not to leave his team in disarray. Could Calhoun save UConn basketball? He has done it before. In twenty-five years at UConn, coach Jim Calhoun changed a team, a university, a state, and college basketball. Shock the World is a riveting season-by-season, game-by-game, and player-by-player biography of Jim Calhoun's winning program. It paints a vivid portrait of college basketball in the last twenty-five years, and highlights the challenges Calhoun overcame to become the best program builder of all time and the greatest coach of his generation. Until March 2011 only four coaches had ever won the NCAA men's basketball championship three times or more. That month, with the culmination of the famous ""March Madness,"" the University of Connecticut's Jim Calhoun became the fifth. Calhoun's Huskies show that spirit, fortitude, and perseverance are keys to winning in modern collegiate sports, just as they are the keys to overcoming challenges off the court. At the end of the 2010 season an NCAA investigation, penalties, and the small number of returning players threatened to end the Calhoun era. Despite these obstacles, Calhoun, point guard Kemba Walker, and a group of freshmen led UConn to a win at the Maui Invitational in November, and UConn became the first team to capture its conference tournament by winning five games in five days. They went on to a thrilling win in the championship, making this period in the Calhoun era one of great resilience, and an enduring monument to Husky pride.",,0.0,$24.99,336 Pages,English,Sports & Outdoors,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/shock-the-world/id561201210?mt=11 505799912,Ricky Rubio,Belmont & Belcourt Biographies,Belmont & Belcourt Books,"Feb 28, 2012",Gatekeeper Press,An Unauthorized Biography,"Ricky Rubio is a phenom rising.

The “Mike” referenced here is, of course, Michael Jordan, widely acclaimed as the greatest basketball player of all time. Despite the desires of so many, none of us, with the possible exceptions of Lebron James and my nine-year old grandson, Eli Massaro Roy, will ever be like Mike. This is in part because the fundamental rules of basketball are biased, favoring some such as Jordan, James, and hopefully Eli and disadvantaging others such as most of us mortals. Put simply, the fundamental rules of basketball are decidedly political. This book explains how and why this is so. Readers who know and love basketball and especially those who do not will discover much about the game they never knew. Among the many basketball-related questions answered in the book are the following. What rule was instituted in reaction to teams’ dangerously throwing their smaller players into the balconies overlooking most early basketball courts? How did creative cheating help bring the dribble into the game? What popular singer would sacrifice “ a first born or two” to be like Michael Jordan? What is basketball’s “Bashor resiliency test?” What is a spatula pick? What key role did passionate fans have in the origins of basketball’s backboards? Likewise, readers who know and love politics and especially those who do not will discover much they did not know about politics. Why are rules or laws often stretched or broken? Why do rules become more and more complex over time? Why is no rule or law ever neutral? What roles did religion, law enforcement and the Progressive Movement play in the origin and development of basketball? Why is basketball likely the elitist of all the elite professional team sports?

Doomed from the start after losing their leading scorer and rebounder, Billy Cunningham, as well as head coach Jack Ramsay, they lost twenty-one of their first twenty-three games. A Philadelphia newspaper began calling them the Seventy Sickers, and they duly lost their last thirteen games on their way to a not-yet-broken record of nine wins and seventy-three losses. Charley Rosen recaptures the futility of that season through the firsthand accounts of players, participants, and observers. Although the team was uniformly bad, there were still many memorable moments, and the lore surrounding the team is legendary. Once, when head coach Lou Rubin tried to substitute John Q. Trapp out of a game, Trapp refused and told Rubin to look behind the team’s bench, whereby one of Trapp’s friends supposedly opened his jacket to show his handgun. With only four wins at the All-Star break, Rubin was fired and replaced by player-coach Kevin Loughery. In addition to chronicling the 76ers’ woes, Perfectly Awful also captures the drama, culture, and attitude of the NBA in an era when many white fans believed that the league had too many black players.

United by their love of the game and their yearning for companionship, they quickly forged a bond which would carry them through thick and thin (a lot of thin) and, at last, to the brink of a national championship. They were a motley group who faced challenges all too typical of inner-city America. LeBron grew up without a father and had moved with his mother more than a dozen times by the age of 10. Willie McGee, the quiet one, had left both his parents behind in Chicago to be raised by his older brother in Akron. Dru Joyce was outspoken, and his dad, who was ever-present, would end up coaching all five of the boys in high school. Sian Cotton, who also played football, was the happy-go-lucky enforcer, while Romeo Travis was unhappy, bitter, even surly, until he finally opened himself up to the bond his team mates offered. In the summer after seventh grade, the SHOOTING STARS tasted glory when they qualified for a national championship tournament in Memphis. But they lost their focus, and had to go home early. They promised each other they would stay together and do whatever it took to win a national title. They had no idea how hard it would be to pursue that promise. In the years that followed, they would endure jealousy, hostility, exploitation, resentment from the black community (because they went to a ""white"" high school), and the consequence of their own over-confidence. Not least, they would all have to wrestle with LeBron's outsize success, which brought too much attention and even a whiff of scandal their way.

Rise and Fire celebrates this crucial shot while tracing its history and shedding light on all corners of the basketball world, from the biggest NBA arenas to the playgrounds of New York City and the barns of Indiana. Part history, part travelogue, and part memoir, award-winning journalist Shawn Fury praises the jump shot, puzzles over its complexities, and marvels over its simplicity. Impeccably researched and engaging, Fury bounces from the dirt courts of the first shooters of the 1930s to today's NBA courts and state-of-the-art shooting labs, examining everything from how nets and rims affect a shooter to rivalries between shooting coaches to how the three-pointer came to rule the game. The book traces how the jump shot changed basketball history, with interviews and profiles of legendary figures like Jerry West, Rick Mount, Bob McAdoo, Ray Allen, and dozens more, including the first woman ever drafted by the NBA. Fury visits Bobby Plump, the small-town kid who hit the jump shot that inspired the movie Hoosiers; talks with Kenny Sailors, the 93-year-old father of the modern jumper; and pays homage to Denise Long and Jeanette Olson who put on one of the greatest shooting displays ever one night in Iowa in 1968.Analyzing the techniques and re-creating legendary plays from the greats-like Larry Bird, Pistol Pete, and Kobe Bryant-as well as lesser-known talents, Fury creates a technical, personal, historical, and even spiritual examination of the shot.

If the mop of brown hair and floppy gray socks didn't give him away, the behind-the-back dribbling and between the-legs passes did. Maravich first captured the nation's attention while playing basketball for his father at Louisiana State University, averaging an incredible 44.2 points per game over three years and earning college player-of-the-year honors in 1970. He went on to play for ten years in the NBA for the Atlanta Hawks, New Orleans Jazz, and Boston Celtics, garnering NBA First Team honors twice and Second Team honors two other times.

They struggle against popular representations as either threatening terrorists or geeky, effeminate computer geniuses. To combat such stereotypes, some use sports as a means of performing a distinctly American masculinity. Desi Hoop Dreams focuses on South Asian-only basketball leagues common in most major U.S. and Canadian cities, to show that basketball, for these South Asian American players is not simply a whimsical hobby, but a means to navigate and express their identities in 21st century America.The participation of young men in basketball is one platform among many for performing South Asian American identity. South Asian-only leagues and tournaments become spaces in which to negotiate the relationships between masculinity, race, and nation. When faced with stereotypes that portray them as effeminate, players perform sporting feats on the court to represent themselves as athletic.

And that’s a compliment of the highest order in a game where players’ performance fluctuates depending on the weather the day before. This Signature Workout Program focus on some of Mike’s best offensive skills, such as: • Floaters And Runners In The Lane Over “Bigs” • Midrange Pullup Jumper Off The Dribble • Using Screens To Create Space And Shots Both Inside & Outside *Always Remember: When you get into your games, you won’t need to have memorized anything from this program.

The Chicago Bulls’ top draft pick—and the second pick of the entire draft—he had the great Michael Jordan’s locker. Then he ran his high-performance motorcycle head-on into a light pole, severely damaging himself and ending his career.In this intense, hard-hitting, and deeply profound memoir, Williams talks about the accident that transformed him. Sometimes, the memories are so fresh, he feels like he’ll never escape the past. Most days, he finds a quiet peace as a commentator on ESPN and as an entrepreneur who can only look back in astonishment at his younger self—a kid who had it all, thought he was invincible, and lost everything . . . only to gain new wisdom.Williams also shares behind the scenes details of life as an All-American. He tells it straight about the scandalous recruiting process and his decision to return to Duke and Coach K—a man who taught him about accountability—to finish his education. He also speaks out about corruption—among coaches, administrators, players, and alumni—and about his time in the NBA, introducing us to a dark underworld culture in the pros: the gambling, drugs, and sex in every city, with players on every team.

A great reporter can put down the pen and pick up the rock. Ira Berkow has been many things in his life—a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, a respected columnist, and a passionate sports fan. He also knows how to thread a pass into the paint. In this wildly entertaining chronicle of his life as both a devotee and gym rat, Berkow writes with good humor and piercing insight about talking strategy with Walt Frazier, running the court with Oscar Robertson, and seeing the game from the inside. From his youth, playing on the courts in Chicago in the ‘40’s and ‘50’s to growing older and using the wisdom he’s gained to school players half his age, Berkow retains a competitive spirit, and a deep love of hoops. This moving tale of love for the game, for his friends and family, and for life itself is a must-read for anyone who wants the ball when the game is on the line.

Faced with adversity at such a young age, Isaiah had to choose—let his disability define him or overcome the challenge and shine.Overcoming that challenge is exactly what Isaiah did as he made a name for himself on Baylor University’s NCAA Division 1 basketball team. Everyone expected Isaiah to have a successful career in the NBA after college, but on June 21, 2014—just five days before the NBA draft—Austin was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects the body’s connective tissue, putting him at risk of rupturing his heart if he continued to play basketball. In seconds, Austin’s hopes for a career in the NBA became impossible.After hearing about Isaiah’s diagnosis, NBA commissioner Adam Silver invited Austin to attend the 2014 draft as his personal guest. The League recognized Isaiah’s courage, resilience, and determination in a bittersweet moment when he was made an Honorary Draft Pick.Rather than letting another challenge destroy his faith, Austin has once again strived to overcome adversity by becoming a spokesperson for The Marfan Foundation, raising awareness and understanding for the disease. Despite the many heartbreaking challenges he has faced, Isaiah’s story is inspirational and full of hope as he encourages everyone to tower in the face of adversity and keep living out your dreams, no matter what life throws your way.*Proceeds from Dream Again will go to the Isaiah Austin Foundation, which provides support for the awareness and research of Marfan syndrome and those affected by it.",4.5,4.5,$12.99,224 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/dream-again/id936215346?mt=11 957596844,Full Court Conflict,CE Butler,CE Butler,"Nov 04, 2014","Draft2Digital, LLC",,"A Baltic High team that doesn’t include Will Stover?

This program addresses the skills of actually scoring and doing moves in games with the crossover dribble. A crossover can be wide or tight, and performed at varying speeds -- the purpose of the move is to create space for yourself; what is necessary to create space is always changing depending on the circumstances of the game(s). Whatever works to make that happen, is a good use of the move at that moment. Any coach, however, will tell you that a move is worthless if it doesn't result in a made basket or at least a foul -- moves alone are not worth points. So a nice crossover move alone isn’t enough -- you gotta finish the job. This Handbook will show you how. That being said, all drills done in this program count reps by made baskets, not attempts. The moves in the demonstration videos are done form certain areas of the floor, but you are not married to these areas. When you are working through the program, work in the areas that fit your game and the situations you (expect to) see. Experiment with varying finishing techniques -- floater, runners, layups, dunks (if you can).",,0.0,$7.99,14 Pages,English,Basketball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/hoophandbook-18-crossover/id644705983?mt=11 524155292,Texas Baseball,Clay Coppedge,The History Press,"May 01, 2012","The History Press, INC",A Lone Star Diamond History from Town Teams to the Big Leagues (The History Press),"From pioneering superstars like Tris Speaker and Rogers Hornsby and Negro League standouts Smokey Joe Williams and Willie Well to present-day luminaries like Nolan Ryan, Texas has played a crucial role in the evolution of the national pastime.

A small man in a big man's game, a white man in a game dominated by black men, a rare Canadian in a US-based industry, the unlikely rise of Steve Nash, from Victoria high school to Hollywood hardwood, is compelling proof that great things await those who refuse to accept less of themselves. Nearly 2 decades into a Hall of Fame-bound career, Nash is a 2-time MVP, an 8-time all-star and wearer of one of the league's top-selling jerseys. And no one but Nash saw it coming.With the combination of wit and comprehensive reporting that distinguished Leafs AbomiNation, Feschuk and Grange tell the extraordinary story of drive, confidence, commitment and learning to do without that post-game beer that turned a Canadian's improbable NBA dream into the stuff of sporting legend. They convincingly bust a host of oft-repeated myths. That Nash is an inferior athlete is one: he might be one of the best athletes in the world, when factors like coordination, vision, balance and work ethic are given weight alongside size, speed and power. The myth that he overcame his upbringing in Canada to make it in the NBA is another: Growing up in Victoria, B.C., in the mid-1980s was more likely why he turned into the player he did.Revealing, playful and a perfect read for any sports fan, Steve Nash is the inspiring story of the consummate athletic outlier.",,0.0,$14.99,224 Pages,English,Basketball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/steve-nash/id422516369?mt=11 360628282,Longshot,Lance Allred,HarperCollins e-books,"May 26, 2009",HarperCollins,,"Lance Allred was probably the last person you'd expect to make it in professional sports. Not only did he grow up on a polygamist commune in Montana, he struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder. If those hurdles to the NBA don't seem large enough, Lance is also deaf.Self-deprecating, witty, and wholly original, Longshot is the unlikely story of an unlikely athlete, who despite these factors and a lot of setbacks along the way, finally realized his dream of playing in the NBA, becoming the first legally deaf player in the league. Lance refused to let others' expectations hinder his dreams, and his refreshing sense of humor about his disability allowed him to face these setbacks without giving up. From his childhood on the commune where he was ""Mormon royalty"" (his grandfather was prophet Rulon Allred of the fundamentalist sect) to his first time picking up a basketball (eighth grade), to his clumsy efforts to build his skills while growing into his 6' 11"" frame, Longshot is a riveting account of a young man finding his purpose and letting the love of the game drive him toward his ultimate goal. Going inside the competitive world of collegiate basketball and the strange experience of playing professionally in Europe, with paychecks that never arrive and a knee injury Lance's team didn't want to cover, Longshot recounts the moment when Lance hit rock bottom. When he came back to the United States for surgery, Lance was prepared to let go of his basketball dreams and become a high school history teacher like his dad. But luckily he had an agent who didn't want to see Lance's dream die, and who found him a deal with the Idaho Stampede, an NBA Development League team in Boise. Although it was paltry pay, it was the last resort. And Lance slowly began to be noticed.

And once you have established your ability to make outside shots, defense will adjust: crowding your space, running you off of your sweet shooting spots, attempting to disrupt your rhythm. This Handbook is the good shooter’s answer to those defensive tactics. Never allow the defense or defender to dictate your actions -- you take whatever they do (crowding your space, for example), and use it against them (using quick first-step and jab-step moves, again, for example). The drills and moves you learn here are all designed to free you to get your outside shot off -- no matter what the defense does. Once you put the ball on the floor, force the defender to react to you -- all you need is solid ball handling skills (which you got from the Ball Handling Handbook).

Filling that arena would present considerable challenges: the Wildcats hadn't been to an NCAA post-season tournament for over two decades, and attendance at Bear Down Gymnasium, which holds 3,000, was dismal. Enter Fred Snowden. Tasked with developing a basketball program that would justify the existence of the arena, the newly appointed head coach exceeded all expectations. He assembled a staff of high-quality assistant coaches, recruited dynamic, talented players who made the games exciting to watch, and -- perhaps most importantly -- got the Tucson community to support those players. He accomplished all of this while receiving hate mail and death threats from people who didn't approve of the Wildcats being led to victory by the first black coach in NCAA division one for a major school in a major conference. Tucson a Basketball Town shines a light on an often overlooked chapter in UA history. Fans of the game will be sure to root for Coach Snowden as he transforms Tucson into the basketball town we know and love.About the AuthorRobert A.

Blance. Follow Thru.,"A reliable outside shot will last you longer than the ability to fly through the lane and dunk. And there are lots of great players (Steve Nash, Isiah Thomas come to mind) who dominate games with, among other skills, great Ball Handling (See the Ball Handling Handbook) and shooting ability. Players who can “only shoot” always stick around longer than players who can “only jump,” right? Think about it. The most important factor in your shooting is consistency: Shooting the same way (whatever way that may be) every time and practicing it enough that your shots go in the basket at a high rate. We all face an issue when working out alone and shooting - chasing down rebounds and made shots. Well, Michael Jordan chased his rebounds. Kobe too. And I do also. So if you want to be a good shooter, you can, and will, do the same. If you have a rebounder, that’s great too. Taking into account that many of you work out alone, each day’s drills will not exceed 200 made shots (not counting free throws, or extra shots for the ladder drills). What matters is what you can do on a consistent basis -- so making 500 shots on Monday, and only 50 the other 6 days of the week, is not more productive than making 150 on each of 7 days. Now let’s get started.

Coach Stan Van Gundy, known to keep coaching until the final buzzer, walked to the opposing bench with 10 seconds left in the lopsided playoff elimination game to congratulate young Frank Vogel, coach of the Indiana Pacers. Even more conspicuous than this rare mid-game conciliatory gesture from Van Gundy was the absence of the team's most recognizable, talented superstar: Dwight Howard. Howard had always talked about winning a championship and bringing joy to Orlando. Despite this, the face of the franchise did not show his face throughout the playoffs, opting to undergo three weeks' worth of rehabilitation in the Los Angeles area following his season-ending back injury. This sour finale was an ignominious ending matched only by this ill-fated season's tumultuous beginning. Entering training camp after a prolonged off-season, Howard stunned the team and town by delivering a defiant trade request to Magic management. Even more devastating for Magic fans was that this request to be dealt to another team was vividly reminiscent of a similar event from a decade ago, when the Magic's last franchise star center, Shaquille O'Neal, abandoned Florida for the Los Angeles Lakers. Howard and the Magic for so long seemed like the perfect match, and had even grown up together in many ways. The 2004 NBA draft brought together a skinny, devoutly religious teenage sensation and a squeaky-clean, family-run ownership down on its luck. Howard blossomed into a global superstar, turning the Magic into contenders. The city of Orlando embraced its new happy-go-lucky hero and fell in love with its basketball team again. They were once inseparable, as close as a player and a franchise could possibly be in today’s NBA. What followed was one of the most bizarre reality shows to befall any professional sports team in memory, with Howard taking the Magic on a wild, emotional and confounding ride. There was presidential-like flip-flopping, a near trade, an 11th-hour reprieve, farcical front-office fumbling, YouTube moments, a drunk-dialing accusation, media shenanigans and one heart-attack scare, among other things. And the soap opera is far from over. Follow the Orlando Sentinel's unmatched coverage of this ongoing saga with Dwightmare: Dwight Howard, the Orlando Magic, and the Season of Dysfunction. From the very beginning of Howard's career through the ouster of coach Stan Van Gundy and general manager Otis Smith, this book is the only place where the entirety of this saga's sordid details have been collected, analyzed, and boiled down to their bare facts.

Although one of his greatest strike-out performances occurred in an all-star game, team-player Hubbell always felt that his best games were those he won for his own club, the New York Giants. Howard Ehmke had a colorful career with several teams before he found himself pitching for Connie Mack's Athletics. By 1929, however, Mr. Mack thought the aging Ehmke should retire. Determined to prove that he had a good game left, Ehmke pitched one of the most amazing World Series games on record. Feller, Hubbell, Ehmke — three great pitchers, three fine men.

You can use a leap or jump to slice through defenders and land strongly on two feet, and, unlike with your two steps, you still have the option of stoping completely and shot faking or passing after the jumpstop is completed. (There have been times when our favorite players have been allowed to jumpstop and follow that with a pivoting move. I was taught that this technique was a travel and not allowed. Thus, this program will not feature any drills in which this technique is used.) The jumpstop allows you to remain under full control of your body, absorb more contact (your center of gravity is stronger with both feet on the ground than with only one foot down), and affords you a couple of options -- described in the first paragraph -- that other ways of driving do not. This program will take you through an array of scoring moves and techniques, all using the jumpstop. While going through this program, it is very important to remember that the moves and drills you go through in practicing are not, necessarily, the moves youʼll do in the games. Understand what a drill is: a skill executed repeatedly, to be ingrained into your muscle memory. The purpose of doing basketball drills is so your body memorizes the movement, which then can be called upon instinctively and unconsciously when needed. You are not consciously memorizing these moves for doing versus a defender. In a live game, things happen too fast for any human being to think of how to react -- by the time the thought comes to you, the moment to do what you thought of has passed. And with the endless possibilities and situations in the game of basketball, memorizing moves is not a viable strategy; every single play is a unique situation. What you want to be able to do in games is to react without thinking: whatever happens, you react instinctively and decisively. This ability is developed through two combined methods: skill practice and game experience. You have taken a proactive step in the skill practice area by getting this program; go to work.

Stand beside Van Slyke in the first-base coach's box and sit beside him in the dugout to feel the emotions rise and fall with each win and each loss, as the Detroit Tigers, preseason favorites to win the 2008 American League pennant with their franchise-record $139 million payroll, deal with the daily grind of the 162-game season.",,0.0,$11.99,256 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/tigers-confidential/id579071955?mt=11 600132931,Beyond the Rules,Billy Martin and Others,BookBaby,"Jan 31, 2013",BookBaby,"Techniques, Tips and Best Practices for Scholastic / Collegiate Basketball Officiating","No matter what the vocation or endeavor, it is the people who go beyond what is expected of them who ultimately achieve the loftiest goals.The standards for excellence sit on a much higher plane than the benchmarks for competency, and everyone makes a choice, either consciously or by default, the path they will travel.

Those gaffes are swiftly decried as racist, but apart from their link to the long history of ugly racial stereotypes about black people—especially men—they are also harmful because they obscure very real, hard-fought accomplishments. As Black Men Can’t Shoot demonstrates, such successes on the basketball court don’t happen just because of natural gifts—instead, they grow out of the long, tough, and unpredictable process of becoming a known player. Scott Norman Brooks spent four years coaching summer league basketball in Philadelphia. And what he saw, heard, and felt working with the young black men on his team tells us much about how some kids are able to make the extraordinary journey from the ghetto to the NCAA. He tells the story of two young men, Jermaine and Ray, following them through their high school years and chronicling their breakthroughs and frustrations on the court as well as their troubles at home.

In the post you are starting your attack from a much closer position to the basket than when you are on the perimeter, which, practically speaking, makes your chances of scoring greater (see the shooting percentage leaders in the NBA -- always post players filling the top spots). Many times, a player who is taller than their teammates get placed in the post because they are the biggest player. This is not a negative situation to be in -- a good player is a good player at any position. Kobe Bryant and LeBron James both played center defensively for their high school teams. When LeBron’s high school team ran a set offense, LeBron was on the low block. Kobe was the tallest player on his HS team, and led them in blocked shots and rebounds. Did they complain? Kobe knew he was good; all he needed was to be in the game, period. This is the mindset of any good player. And, even when you are playing the position you wish to play, having the ability to score posting up will make you a valuable asset. The most important aspect of post scoring is footwork. Your footwork is the difference between an easy, make-able shot and a tough, well-defended, blocked or missed shot. Lastly, understand that there is not a set move or set of moves that will always work as you move up in the game. Opponents adjust and have different capabilities and experiences as you move from game to game. Never assume that what worked yesterday will work today. Have enough in your arsenal to take advantage of whatever the defense gives you. This is where your attack originates.

Suddenly, Jim found himself struggling to answer questions from Joe that had nothing to do with batting averages or World Series champions: “What are steroids? Who was using them? Wasn’t it cheating? Why weren’t the players who got caught suspended or punished by baseball?”While Jim searched for the right words and Major League Baseball dithered, Joe took matters into his own hands: he removed the players who had been named as likely drug users from his prized baseball card collection and created a cheaters pile. Then he created a different category of suspected “juicers” to keep an eye on. He took these players’ posters—even the poster of his favorite slugger, Manny Ramirez—down from his bedroom walls. The steroid scandal had clearly hit home.Rather than wait for an official explanation and apology from Major League Baseball that would never materialize, Jim and Joe set out to find their own answers. They traveled the country from coast to coast, from Spring Training contests to major and minor league games—speaking with players, prospects, and managers while tracking down the legends and ghosts of baseball’s golden age. And one day they discovered an aging but dedicated prospect who would become not only a true role model for Joe, but also the unlikely inspiration to lure both father and son back to the game they loved.By turns humorous, heartbreaking, and inspiring, Trading Manny tells the story of their journey back to baseball—how along the way Joe traded his idol Manny for a more worthy hero, and Jim discovered something invaluable about being a father.",,0.0,$15.99,272 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/trading-manny/id504487906?mt=11 423181772,Blue Streak,Dan Wiederer,IUniverse,"Mar 25, 2010","Author Solutions, Inc.","The Highs, Lows and Behind the Scenes Hijinks of a National Champion","Get ready to board the same roller coaster that the North Carolina Tar Heels rode all the way to the 2009 national championship.

The purpose of this Handbook is to introduce you to a certain set of scoring moves -- not all that exist, which is not possible since there are new ways to score that come about every day. There will be more scoring moves Handbooks in the future, with more moves and ways to get points. Since there is already a Shooting Handbook, this Handbook will focus on scoring in the basket area, not outside scoring. Remember, there are only three rules in basketball: On Offense, score. On Defense, prevent scoring. At the end of the game, have more points than the opponent. Everything else is just details. As far as scoring moves go, you will be judged on their results -- did you score a basket or not? For the sake of efficiency and what we all face in live, 5x5 games, all the basket-area scoring moves worked on in this Handbook will be executed within 3 dribbles (during the actual move; you may use some dribbles as you approach the move). We will also observe a universal, one-size-fits-all application of rules when it comes to footwork; what we call a great ‘first step’ or ‘hidden step’ in the American game (from the playgrounds to the NBA), is seen as a violation in FIBA-rules countries. All of the moves in this Handbook will invite no such conflicts. The moves and drills in this Handbook will get increasingly more challenging and intensive, and reps will increase. Your biggest emphasis in doing these workouts is not speed, how high you jump, or if you think a defender would steal/ block your move. Your emphasis is on technique. Pro basketball teams all have scouts; in post season play every team knows its opponents’ plays and actions. The best scorers have 4 or 5 moves that they use to average 20-30 points per contest for 82-100 games per season. Teams don't make entirely new play books in the playoffs, they execute those same plays so precisely that even a defense knowing what’s coming can’t stop it (Triangle Offense; Pick and Roll; Motion Offense). When you watch a game on TV, you rarely see a move done that’s never been done before -- it is just executed to perfection. This is your goal: execute your moves to perfection. Of course, no one is perfect, so your pursuit of being perfect never ends. Neither does the work you need to put into your game, no matter how good you are. Lastly, understand that there are no set moves that will always work in whatever situation. Players you face have different skills, experiences, and ways of playing. Your attack begins by taking what the defense gives you -- you must have enough skills to be able to take advantage, and enough experience/ practice to do so without thinking. The defender who cannot be scored on does not exist; only players who lack skills. Whether you can dunk or not, mix in layups, floaters and runners with your moves as you will not always be able to dunk in game situations. Dwyane Wade dunked 102 times in the 2010-11 season -- barely more than once per game -- and he scored in the mid-20s. Furthermore, DWade had more dunks last season than did LeBron James, Derrick Rose, Josh Smith, and Carmelo Anthony. Dunking does not happen as much as it seems.

After the ""opening"" of Japan by Commodore Perry, Sayuri Guthrie-Shimizu explains, baseball was introduced there by American employees of the Japanese government tasked with bringing Western knowledge and technology to the country, and Japanese students in the United States soon became avid players. In the early twentieth century, visiting Japanese warships fielded teams that played against American teams, and a Negro League team arranged tours to Japan. By the 1930s, professional baseball was organized in Japan where it continued to be played during and after World War II; it was even played in Japanese American internment camps in the United States during the war.From early on, Guthrie-Shimizu argues, baseball carried American values to Japan, and by the mid-twentieth century, the sport had become emblematic of Japan's modernization and of America's growing influence in the Pacific world. Guthrie-Shimizu contends that baseball provides unique insight into U.S.-Japanese relations during times of war and peace and, in fact, is central to understanding postwar reconciliation.

Speed Quickness Strength (without weights or equipment) Core Power Conditioning Flexibility Agility Engaging in a proper Strength Training and Conditioning program is just as important to perfect your body, as it is to improve your jumpshot! Just knowing what to do to improve your game, and how to do it efficiently and properly, is half the battle! Strength Training and Conditioning movements can be performed with little or no weights at all! The ability to improve strength without weights exists- you just have to learn proper form so that the body can move pain free and with the most range of motion to allow results to occur. Using your own body weight utilizes so much core strength and power and it is some of the most intense type of strength workouts that can be done. In fact, body weight training will also help facilitate an improvement in coordination, body awareness, and overall body balance. All athletes have the ability to evolve into great players at their sport. A few key concepts of determination, motivation, continual hard work, and a good attitude contribute to a strong mental base for performance enhancement. The other essential element in the evolution of performance enhancement is to have an age-appropriate strength training program that will enhance the ability to perform at the highest level. Having a proper strength and conditioning program should include dynamic flexibility, movement preparation, stability, strength movements, balance, functional core, agility & quickness drills, and powerful movements. While building a solid base of muscle is part of the plan, the overall goal of in-season strength training is maintenance. In-season is not the time to try to build a muscular base or improve your power. As a basketball player, you need your body to be able to be recovered from your workouts so that you can perform on game day. Therefore, during season, your workouts should focus on endurance and quickness, strength and core maintenance, and flexibility for proper recovery. Strength training for Basketball has evolved into a year-round program with periodized cycles that challenge and improve the body in a cycled pace off the court. A meso-cycle consists of a series of weeks that work on improving certain modalities of training so that the body progresses efficiently throughout the season. As the meso-cycle is completed, the next cycle will continue with a focus on different aspects of performance while keeping the strengths gained of the previous cycle. This is so important to layer your training schedule so that you have a gradual progression of training as well as continual challenges that keep the body in the optimal condition throughout the season. The workouts should be challenging, yet fun and in line with your goals. Building great training habits and a solid foundation of efficient movement will make the extra difference from performing decently to performing outstandingly! GOALS: Every athlete has their own set of goals that they want to improve and work on. What is your Goal(s)? What do you need to do to accomplish them? Other Goals: Perform a (In- home if necessary) workout challenge with No Equipment on a regular basis & be able to see/ feel the results Develop strength, speed & quickness, and stamina Stay physically and mentally strong to prevent injury The Ultimate Basketball Goal: *Be capable of competing on a physical level with any opponent",,0.0,$2.99,68 Pages,English,Basketball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/hoophandbook-5-ultimate-athlete/id644348939?mt=11 647852655,162-0: Imagine a Cubs Perfect Season,Dan McGrath,Triumph Books,"Mar 01, 2011","Chicago Review Press, Inc.

You will always have an opponent who can run faster or jump higher than you. If you master these mental aspects of the game, you will always hold a critical advantage. When I work with players, I use progressions: first, develop a single skill (a crossover dribble, for example), then, implement a combination of skills (a crossover dribble, leading into a jump shot), then, test the skill in modified games (one-on-one, two-on-two, practice scrimmages), and then use it in regulation games. With HoopLife: The Basketball Player's Max-Potential Handbook, you will learn to apply a similar discipline to your own self-improvement plan. You will learn that practicing alone is essential to your improvement, but that it’s just as important to play pick-up games, away from the judging eyes of parents and coaches, to try out those skills you have developed in isolation. Above all else, you will learn that in order to achieve your maximum potential as a player, you have to think like a point guard no matter where your coach tells you to play. You must strive to become what I call a TruePoint player, who leads your team and controls the game from wherever you’re positioned on the court.

When the Shanxi Brave Dragons, one of China’s worst professional basketball teams, hired former NBA coach Bob Weiss, the team’s owner, Boss Wang, promised that Weiss would be allowed to Americanize his players by teaching them “advanced basketball culture.” That promise would be broken from the moment Weiss landed in China. Desperate for his team to play like Americans, Wang—a peasant turned steel tycoon—nevertheless refused to allow his players the freedom and individual expression necessary to truly change their games. Former New York Times Beijing bureau chief Jim Yardley tells the story of the resulting culture clash with sensitivity and a keen comic sensibility. Readers meet the Brave Dragons, a cast of colorful, sometimes heartbreaking oddballs from around the world: the ambitious Chinese assistant coach, Liu Tie, who believes that Chinese players are genetically inferior and can improve only through the repetitious drilling once advocated by ancient kung fu masters; the moody and selfish American import, Bonzi Wells, a former NBA star so unnerved by China that initially he locks himself in his apartment; the Taiwanese point guard, Little Sun, who is demonized by his mainland Chinese coaches; and the other Chinese players, whose lives sometimes seem little different from those of factory workers. As readers follow the team on a fascinating road trip through modern China—from glamorous Shanghai and bureaucratic Beijing to the booming port city Tianjin and the polluted coal capital of Taiyuan—we see Weiss learn firsthand what so many other foreigners in China have discovered: China changes only when and how it wants to change.",4.61905,4.5,$11.99,336 Pages,English,Basketball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/brave-dragons/id438096006?mt=11 827791894,2014 NFHS Baseball Rules Book,NFHS & Elliot Hopkins,NFHS,"Feb 01, 2014",National Federation of State High School,,"Contains the rules for baseball, and are designed to explain all aspects of the game.",,0.0,$5.99,133 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/2014-nfhs-baseball-rules-book/id827791894?mt=11 1000561590,Hope,Bill Reynolds,St. Martin's Press,"Jan 26, 2016",250 Pages,"A School, a Team, a Dream","Hope High School in Providence, Rhode Island was known for its state championship basketball team in the 1960s, but the group of boys who show up to Dave Nyblom's first practice of 2012 bears no resemblance to that team.

Many people are so used to the present rules that they think that they are hardened in stone and just part of the game. This is easily proven to be wrong by reading all of the changes in basketball rules over the past 100 years. An appendix lists the major changes for the reader’s edification.The two major rules discussed are intentional fouls near the end of many games and the fouling out rule. Intentional fouling in the last minute of many games is usually disliked greatly by most basketball fans, but accepted grudgingly as part of the game. The team that commits intentional fouls may gain by doing so, and has little to lose. On the other hand, the team that is intentionally fouled has little to gain and possibly may lose by being fouled. This situation is definitely not right or logical. It should always be the other way around. If anyone is to benefit, it should be the team that is fouled. Under the present rules, the team that is ahead has no time to run their offense and take time off the clock. Their offense is often limited to only one second. The entire flow (or lack of flow) is controlled by the team that has committed a foul on purpose. Also, repeated time outs and time to shoot all the fouls may make the last minute of play take 20 minutes of real time. An original suggestion for changing the rule is offered. This rule change is much fairer than the present rules. An important point is that a team that has fairly built a lead in the first 39 minutes of the game should not be possibly penalized by unfair rules concerning intentional fouls in the last minute.A special situation concerning intentional fouls occurs with under 15 seconds left in the game, and the leading team is ahead by one point and about to throw the ball in. They are usually fouled intentionally right away. They must take 1 or 2 fouls shots, and the team that fouled them now gets the ball back with a chance to tie or win the game. This is extremely unfair. They should not have the right to get the ball back by fouling on purpose.The fouling out rule is also very unfair at times. Often a star player is charged with his second personal foul after only a few minutes of play, and ends up sitting on the bench for up to 15 minutes. Yet TV replays may show that a foul called by the referee was wrong. This is a great injustice. Similarly, a minor foul or incorrect call on a third or fourth foul may make the player sit on the bench for many minutes. Basketball seems to be the only major sport in which minor infractions can lead to expulsion from the game. Several options are offered that will improve the rules concerning fouling out of the game.Changing the rules about when time outs can be called will reward good defensive play. Specific situations and changes are explained.The shot clock in men’s college basketball has been 35 seconds since 1993. Some people think this should be reduced to 24 seconds, as is the rule in the NBA and international basketball, or to 30 seconds, as in women’s college basketball. A discussion follows with reasons for and against changing the shot clock. Another idea is to change the 10 second rule for bringing the ball across the center line to only 8 seconds. This would make the game more exciting.The final chapter discusses how to improve the use of instant replay in college basketball. Several suggestions are made to make the game fairer and the referees’ calls more accurate.The overall principle emphasized in the book is fairness. Changing a few rules will make the game much fairer..",,0.0,$2.99,81 Pages,English,Basketball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/how-to-fix-basketball-games/id826435110?mt=11 470863848,Turning Two,Bud Harrelson and Others,St. Martin's Press,"Apr 10, 2012","Macmillan / Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC",My Journey to the Top of the World and Back with the New York Mets,"Only one man, Bud Harrelson, can say he was in uniform for both New York Mets world championships: as the shortstop who anchored the infield of the 1969 “Miracle Mets” and then as the third-base coach for the storied 1986 team. In Turning Two, Harrelson delivers a team memoir as he takes fans through the early seasons, sudden success, lean years, and return to glory. Born on D-day 1944, the Alameda County, California, native made his Major League debut with the Mets in 1965. At 147 pounds he was the team’s Everyman---a Gold Glove, All-Star shortstop who won the hearts of fans with his sparkling defensive skills and trademark brand of gritty, scrappy baseball. Harrelson recalls how the gentle yet firm guidance of manager Gil Hodges shaped a stunning success story in ‘69. Bud remembers the game’s legends he played with and against, including Hall of Famers Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, Roberto Clemente, Bob Gibson (against whom he compiled a .333 career batting average), and his idol, Willie Mays---Harrelson’s teammate on the 1973 “Ya Gotta Believe” team. Harrelson writes of his famous fight with Pete Rose in the playoffs that autumn as the Mets upset the Cincinnati Reds to win the National League pennant and squared off against the mighty Oakland A’s in a dramatic seven-game World Series. After retiring as a player, Bud returned to Shea Stadium as Davey Johnson’s third-base coach in 1985 and waved Ray Knight home for the winning run in the unforgettable Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. Harrelson takes us in the dugout and on the field as he tells thrilling tales from his career and speaks candidly of the state of the game today. Turning Two is the ideal souvenir from the first half-century of the New York Mets---and from the pre-steroid era when players played the game the right way and did the little things to help their teams win.Bud Harrelson in Turning TwoOn Gil Hodges“Hodges accomplished his goal with compassion and a gentle hand and attained discipline simply by being such an imposing physical specimen. He rarely lost his temper, but on the few occasions that he did, you can bet he got our attention.”On Battling at the Plate“I have always said I’ll take God to three-and-two and take my chances. I might foul two off before He gave me ball four.”On 1969“Torre hit a smash to me at short and I’m thinking, Don’t screw up the throw; don’t rush it. I knew I could catch it. I just wanted to be sure to make a good, firm throw right at the chest of Al Weis at second base. I tossed it to Weis and he turned it over to Clendenon at first for the double play and we had won the Mets’ first title. We were the first champions of the National League East.”On Playing with Willie Mays“I reached up to catch the ball and as I did, I stepped on Willie’s foot.

Breaking Cardinal Rules is an exposé by escort Katina Powell based on her experiences providing sexual services for the basketball program at the University of Louisville. It is written with Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Dick Cady. Powell has filled five journals with details of her escort escapades, sexual encounters and her activities at the University of Louisville. Most of the U of L services she provided took place in the men's dormitory where most of the basket players reside. Her main contact and the man with the money–the school's former director of basketball operations and former graduate assistant, Andre McGee–kept Powell and her girls busy from 2010 to 2014. Powell does not present a sympathetic character. Her life is full of contradictions. She has no remorse over the choices she has made. Her story is true in all its graphic detail. ""If you think you've heard seamy tales about recruiting before, wait till you get a load of this. The Louisville high command has vowed to take the matter very seriously. It should."" -Mike Lopresti, retired USA Today sports columnist ABOUT DICK CADY Dick Cady worked for the Dearborn (Michigan) Guide, Ypsilanti Daily Press, Detroit News, Indianapolis Star and Newsday and also wrote for The Nation, NUVO Newsweekly, Indianapolis Monthly Magazine, the Johnson County Journal and Bloomington Herald-Times.

The league featured great stars like Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Elgin Baylor, and Jerry West who consistently displayed offensive versatility as well as defensive prowess. The NBA of some 50 years ago had no more than six or eight teams, but all of them were highly skilled and explosive. But today the NBA has fallen on hard timesat least in the artistic sense. In his new book How Sweet It Was: And How the NBA Can Return to Greatness, writer Joe Delmore outlines what made the league great and how it has fallen from those graces. He pays particular attention to the overpaid athletes, coaches with no authority, and selfi sh players with poorly developed basketball skills. The media, particularly cable television, shines a constant spotlight on these overcompensated athletes. In his new book, the author outlines several concrete steps that should return professional basketball to a semblance of its former glory. Players will receive better training and more classroom exposure, and contracts will be limited by their very nature. The author also outlines steps on how to improve the coaching profession.

This role could not just go to an extraordinary athlete, but one of immense character as well Things went down with integration in the National Basketball Association a bit differently. The NBA had only formed in 1946, and was still sorting out franchises and struggling for recognition on April 25, 1950 when the basketball owners sat down for the annual player draft. When the second round began, Boston Celtics owner Walter Brown selected an African-American All-American guard out of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh named Chuck Cooper. A few weeks after the draft, the New York Knickerbockers made a deal to purchase the contract of Nathaniel “Sweetwater” Clifton from the Harlem Globetrotters; he became the second African-American to sign an NBA contract on May 24. So, the 1950-51 National Basketball Association season tipped off with three African-Americans on active rosters. While Robinson became one of America's greatest heroes, the stories of the black pioneers who broke down the NBA color barrier went untold. Jackie Robinson was recognized by his sport by being elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame the first year he was eligible to appear on the ballot in 1962. Not so for Clifton.

And once you have established your ability to make outside shots, defense will adjust: crowding your space, running you off of your sweet shooting spots, attempting to disrupt your rhythm. This Handbook is the good shooter’s answer to those defensive tactics. Never allow the defense or defender to dictate your actions -- you take whatever they do (crowding your space, for example), and use it against them (using quick first-step and jab-step moves, again, for example). The drills and moves you learn here are all designed to free you to get your outside shot off -- no matter what the defense does. Once you put the ball on the floor, force the defender to react to you -- all you need is solid ball handling skills (which you got from the Ball Handling Handbook). Once you go through the Handbook and get familiar with the moves and drills while also gaining confidence in your abilities, be creative -- both with the setup of the workouts and with the actual moves.

It was part of my own definition of who I was and certainly the part I most respected. When I was a young man, I was well-built and agile and ready for the rough and tumble of games, and athletics provided the single outlet for a repressed and preternaturally shy boy to express himself in public....I lost myself in the beauty of sport and made my family proud while passing through the silent eye of the storm that was my childhood.” So begins Pat Conroy’s journey back to 1967 and his startling realization “that this season had been seminal and easily the most consequential of my life.” The place is the Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina, that now famous military college, and in memory Conroy gathers around him his team to relive their few triumphs and humiliating defeats. In a narrative that moves seamlessly between the action of the season and flashbacks into his childhood, we see the author’s love of basketball and how crucial the role of athlete is to all these young men who are struggling to find their own identity and their place in the world. In fast-paced exhilarating games, readers will laugh in delight and cry in disappointment. But as the story continues, we gradually see the self-professed “mediocre” athlete merge into the point guard whose spirit drives the team. He rallies them to play their best while closing off the shouts of “Don’ t shoot, Conroy” that come from the coach on the sidelines. For Coach Mel Thompson is to Conroy the undermining presence that his father had been throughout his childhood. And in these pages finally, heartbreakingly, we learn the truth about the Great Santini. In My Losing Season Pat Conroy has written an American classic about young men and the bonds they form, about losing and the lessons it imparts, about finding one’s voice and one’s self in the midst of defeat. And in his trademark language, we see the young Conroy walk from his life as an athlete to the writer the world knows him to be.

Working his way through the minor leagues, earning three hundred dollars a month, he survived just about everything, even riots in stadiums in Puerto Rico. And while players and other umps hit the bars at night, Harvey memorized the rule book. In 1962, he broke into the big leagues and was soon listening to rookie Pete Rose worrying that he would be cut by the Reds and laying down the law with managers such as Tommy Lasorda and Joe Torre.This colorful memoir takes you behind the plate for some of baseball’s most memorable moments, including Roberto Clemente’s three thousandth and final hit; the heroic three-and-two pinch-hit home run by Kirk Gibson in the ’88 World Series; and the nail-biting excitement of the ’68 World Series. But beyond the drama, Harvey turned umpiring into an art. He was a man so respected, whose calls were so feared and infallible, that the players called him “God.” And through it all, he lived by three rules: never take anything from a player, never back down from a call, and never carry a grudge.A book for anyone who loves baseball, They Called Me God is a funny and fascinating tale of on- and off-the-field action, peopled by unforgettable characters from Bob Gibson to Nolan Ryan, and a treatise on good umpiring techniques.

For a trio of players on the New Market Rebels, it was the beginning of a journey that would see them enjoy lengthy major league careers. For three players on the Winchester Royals, Fate had seemingly propped open the door to legitimate dreams of future seasons in the big league sun as well, but 1981 would be the pinnacle of their baseball glory. It was a summer in which the team with Dennis Clow and Steve Peruso and Clay Daniel bested the team with Tom Browning and John Kruk and Dan Pasqua. Clow, Peruso, and Daniel together totaled 11 minor league seasons. Browning, Kruk, and Pasqua each played in the majors for 10 years or more.Few would have predicted the degree of big league success for the Rebel trio. Browning was almost not allowed to return to the team, Pasqua was briefly dismissed from the team, and John Kruk, well ""Johnny"" did not fare well when he came up against a broom-stick wielding grandma after he accidentally spit tobacco juice on her carpet.It was the Winchester Royals, founded by Keith Lupton who would go on to be named the executive of the year three times in three different minor leagues, who were the superior team. Their determination, their ability to stage improbable comebacks, and most of all their talent made the 1981 Winchester Royals one of the great summer league teams ever assembled.Set as it was against the backdrop of the 1981 major league players’ strike, the story of the battle for the President’s Cup between the Rebels and the Royals epitomizes that mix of glory and poignancy that produces such passion in those who love the game.An inspiring and easy read at only 7,000 words (14 pages).",3.7788,4.0,Free,30 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/their-glorious-summer/id453404923?mt=11 573405160,"Basketball Plays, Tricks And Gimmicks",Wm.

Why run all of your set plays, quick hitters or entry plays from a 1-4 high set? Good question. Here are the reasons this alignment is great for all set plays: Less is more. This one set keeps things simple for your players. It creates excellent spacing. Offense is all about good spacing. This alignment creates good scoring opportunities for every position. It is easy to create plays for any type of shot necessary from this alignment. The plays can be run to either side of the court simply by running the mirror image of the play. It is very easy to get into from a numbered fast break system. It denies the defense from establishing its defensive priorities, making this alignment difficult to defend from the onset. What are defensive priorities? Regardless of the type of defense run, most traditional defensive systems want to establish the following priorities: Be able to apply tremendous pressure on the ball and provide help to the on-the-ball defender. Be able to provide help in any situation. Protect the rim and low post areas. Force the ball out of the middle to one side to establish a ball side and help side, allowing the defense to outnumber the offense 5-3 by virtue of the two help defenders. Defend two offensive players with one defender if possible (usually a zone defense). Establish good inside positioning for defensive rebound coverage. Clog the lane area with help defenders to prevent lane penetration via pass, cut or dribble; low post entry passes;backdoor cuts for lay-ups. Some of the ways the 1-4 high alignment prevents the defense from establishing its priorities include preventing the defense from being able to establish a help side defense,forcing the defense away from the lane area and rim, opening the area up for penetration of one form or another, and requiring the defense to guard each offensive player, including the ball, with only one defender, and operating the offense from the middle of the court to initiate the attack. In addition to the advantages the 1-4 high set denies the defense, it is versatile due to the fact all of the plays can be run as mirror images. Any play depicted being run to the right hand side of the court can be run in its mirror image on the left hand side of the court. This short book contains 30 plays to attack man-to-man defenses, zone defenses, to obtain 3-point shots, low post shots, and on-the-ball screens to create penetration opportunities. These simple plays are an excellent way to score after a time out, a dead ball or as an entry to motion or other offenses.",,0.0,$4.99,38 Pages,English,Coaching,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/coaching-basketball-30-set/id788489198?mt=11 827800249,100 Things Royals Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die,Matt Fulks,Triumph Books,"Mar 01, 2014","Chicago Review Press, Inc.

It was the quiet beginning to the most resonant baseball achievement of all time. Starting that day, the vaunted Yankee centerfielder kept on hitting-at least one hit in game after game after game. In the summer of 1941, as Nazi forces moved relentlessly across Europe and young American men were drafted by the millions, it seemed only a matter of time before the U.S. went to war. The nation was apprehensive. Yet for two months in that tense summer, America was captivated by DiMaggio's astonishing hitting streak. In 56, Kostya Kennedy tells the remarkable story of how the streak found its way into countless lives, from the Italian kitchens of Newark to the playgrounds of Queens to the San Francisco streets of North Beach; from the Oval Office of FDR to the Upper West Side apartment where Joe's first wife, Dorothy, the movie starlet, was expecting a child. In this crisp, evocative narrative Joe DiMaggio emerges in a previously unseen light, a 26-year-old on the cusp of becoming an icon. He comes alive-a driven ballplayer, a mercurial star and a conflicted husband-as the tension and the scrutiny upon him build with each passing day. DiMaggio's achievement lives on as the greatest of sports records. Alongside the story of DiMaggio's dramatic quest, Kennedy deftly examines the peculiar nature of hitting streaks and with an incisive, modern-day perspective gets inside the number itself, as its sheer improbability heightens both the math and the magic of 56 games in a row.

Officially, the Soviet Union beat the United States, 51-50, in the gold medal game at the 1972 Summer Olympic Games in Munich on a desperate basket at the final buzzer.In many ways, the game was for the Soviets a mirror image of what the U.S. Olympic hockey team would experience eight years later at the Winter Games in Lake Placid: an improbable, almost unthinkable, victory over the sport's long-time Olympic standard-bearers and a Cold War shot in the arm for a politically struggling government.But that is where the similarities end. Because there's one Olympian-sized difference between what is, arguably, each country's greatest Olympic achievement: the Soviets didn't actually win the gold medal in basketball in 1972. Or, more specifically, they have never been recognized as having won by their American opponents.

Fantasy basketball is a lot of fun, but it takes quite a bit of skill and effort to be a great manager. This book will help you know when and where to focus your efforts and how to best tweak your own approach to team management in order to fit your personal strengths / weakness.I’ve been playing fantasy basketball for more than a decade and over I’ve created multiple tools for team managers to analyze trades, compare players, and even analyze entire teams based on scheduling and other factors. I’m probably the only fantasy basketball author who has coded an entire fantasy basketball scoring system and hosted fantasy leagues on my own systems. The time I have spent studying fantasy basketball and the things I’ve learned through the development of my own systems is a big part what makes me comfortable writing this book. I decided that if I was to write a book for fantasy basketball managers then I wanted to go all. I set out to produce something that would show others the tricks of trade to become better players and that will provide huge value to readers, and this book is the culmination of that effort.A large portion of the book focuses on fantasy basketball ""strategery"" - the act of developing and carrying out a strategy. Yes, it's a bogus word - I know! The prominent use of the word in the title will hopefully be a sign to the reader that the book is written in a light hearted and down to earth way. But have no doubt that it is packed full of useful information for fantasy basketball managers.Here’s a quick listing of the types of things discussed:- Different fantasy basketball strategies and how to choose which one you want to use-How to initially rank players and how to customize / tweak your rankings- Drafting strategies- Team management tips for during the regular season, playoffs, and offseaon (keeperleagues)- Trade analysis fundamentals and how to maximize your chances of getting deals done- Lots more!“Drinking and Drafting” describes each phase of the fantasy basketball season from the preseason/offseason all the way up through the fantasy playoffs and tells you exactly what you should be doing during each phase to gain a competitive advantage. Those who are just getting in to fantasy basketball will certainly appreciate how the book is carefully broken down into manageable chunks representing each phase of the season. Following the advice presented will save new managers countless hours (and errors) and minimize many of the mistakes that are made by newcomers. Many of these mistakes have been historically made by just about everyone ever to play fantasy basketball. Just like in the Matrix - everyone falls the first time, but with this book you won’t actually have to make all of those “noob” mistakes.Seasoned fantasy basketball players will find proven ideas about what makes a fantasy basketball team successful and about how to maximize their own skills in each area of the game. There’s an abundance of information about how to identify your strengths and weaknesses as well as how to both choose and execute a strategy based on them.When you're done with “Drinking and Drafting” you’ll know more about fantasy basketball head-to-head strategy than you ever thought you would. You’ll also perform better once you start applying the concepts. You’ll know exactly what parts of your game you can improve and you’ll have actionable tips for how to make some of those improvements right away.

When it comes to scoring, aim for efficiency -- creating and finishing your scoring opportunities efficiently will earn the trust of your coaches and teammates. Being able to score with two or fewer dribbles is scoring efficiency at its best. One-Dribble scoring options were covered in the Triple Threat/ Jab Step Hoop Handbook. In this program we will cover two-dribble scoring options: ways to create and finish scoring opportunities with two or fewer bounces within the actual attack. There are some moves that will begin with an already-live dribble and other in which rhythm bounces will take you past two dribbles; the principle of scoring without wasted dribbles remains the goal. The moves in the demonstration videos are done form certain areas of the floor, but you are not married to these areas. When you are working through the program, work in the areas that fit your game and the situations you (expect to) see.

McNeill,Xlibris,"Oct 24, 2002","Author Solutions, Inc.",Baseball As a Free Enterprise Pastime and a Protestant Miracle Play,"Mark Twain called baseball ""the very symbol, the outward and visible expression of the drive and push and rush and struggle of the raging, tearing, booming nineteeth-century"". This book searches the concrete actions typical of baseball games for the meaning of what they represent. For example, the struggles in a game of individuals against a group of enemies organized to put them out represent the struggles of Americans to succeed in a fiercely competitive capitalistic economy. But baseball combines characteristics of both Christian Protestantism and industrial capitalism. So a home run represents a sudden, unexpected success and at the same time a home run embodies in a game a sudden impossible miraculous redemption.

I believe, every experience we go through in life is to prepare us for what is to come in our lives. To teach us the life lessons we need to know so we can be best prepared to handle our ultimate test, somewhere in the future. I believe, our lives are an accumulation of life lessons that can only be learned by personal experience, to be completely understood. Reading about a life lesson, or someone lecturing you about one, pales in comparison to feeling and experiencing that life lesson first hand. I truly believe that. I believe, the best way to teach someone something is to make that person believe they are learning something else.I believe the universe does that to us. It takes us on goals and missions in our lives that we believe are the most important things to us at the time. It does this to teach us lessons we need to experience and learn, so we can successfully execute them when our real mission in life finally confronts us. I believe, if you really listen, your soul will talk to you. ****** Excerpt from ""Your Soul Knows"" I know I should run. But I don’t. I rationalize to myself that I can’t. I can’t embarrass someone like that. I am trapped between shopping carts in a checkout line at the supermarket. All of my items I am purchasing on this day are on the conveyer belt, ready to be scanned and bagged by the cashier - the cashier who is using one hand to scan each item while her other hand is wiping her nose. I know I should run from this runny nose clerk, but I am trapped, I can’t go back, and I can’t go forward. Snot Lady is going to touch every one of the items I am purchasing today. For most, seeing a cashier wipe her nose a few times would definitely give one the koodies, but for me, it gives me the chills; a six-month hospital stay for Jess flashes through my mind. As my order approaches the cashier on the conveyor belt, the absolute worst possible thing happens. The cashier switches hands. The hand she was using to wipe her nose, she is now using to scan my groceries. I am always so careful, and I try to be as polite as I can, but my life is different. I detour from sneezes or coughs in a crowd, and I always run from runny noses. I try not to be rude, but sometimes it is quite obvious I just up and leave at the first sign someone has a cold. I have to; a cold to Jess inevitably turns into pneumonia, which turns into a spin of the cylinder - playing Russian roulette with our lives. I don’t know what makes me stay online today. Maybe it is wishful thinking, or maybe I realize this is the same cashier who was so nice to Cassidy last week when she asked her about her school soccer season. But whatever it is that causes me to stay, I stay. Even knowing it is a mistake. A rookie mistake. And I am not, by any means, a rookie at this. I know I should run from this runny nose, but I do not. “John, what are you doing? You can't spray Lysol on the groceries!” BettyJane screams at me as she walks into the kitchen as I am trying to decontaminate what I just purchased from the supermarket. “BettyJane, I just made a rookie mistake. I allowed Snot Lady to check me out at the grocery store, I know I should have run, but I didn't. If I can't spray Lysol on all of this, then we need to throw it all away.” “John, your NOT spraying Lysol on anything, and we are NOT throwing $400 worth of groceries away! Relax, you are probably exaggerating what you think you saw, Jess will be fine, she doesn't eat this food anyway.” “No, but we touch it when we eat it and then we will transfer it to her when we feed her.” “We have been through so much and we have never once fought with each other. And now we’re going to fight about whether you should Lysol our food or not?” I stop; I let it go; I know she’s right. But I know that I, too, am right. ****** Every Breath Is Gold Series 6 Minutes Wrestling With Life - Book 1 Again - Book 2 Your Soul Knows - Book 3",,0.0,Free,196 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/your-soul-knows/id981993112?mt=11 571448926,Basketball Officiating Mechanics Illustrated,Ken Koester,"Referee Enterprises, Inc.","Jul 08, 2011","Referee Enterprises, Inc.",2 and 3 Person High School Crews,"To be a successful basketball official, solid mechanics are essential.

Now, in this winning collection of essays, Span chronicles her love of the sport, from childhood hobby to full-blown obsession, from big break (becoming The Village Voice’s first staff sports reporter in years) to heartbreak (getting a pink slip within a year). She recounts elbowing her way to get a quote from Yankees captain Derek Jeter and waiting for Mets pitcher Pedro Martinez to put some pants on for an interview. She literally gives her lifeblood to see the Mets and hops a plane to Taiwan, home to perhaps the largest concentration of Yankees fans outside of the five boroughs. But after getting laid off and being forced to leave her press pass behind, Span wonders if her passion for the sport will fade. Highly unlikely. Baseball helped Span forge a lasting bond with her father, connect with total strangers, and endure even the toughest times. With a fresh voice, a devastating wit, and an alarmingly encyclopedic knowledge of the game, Span offers a new perspective on America’s favorite pasttime—as a journalist, a baseball nerd, a daughter, and a fervent stay-until-the-last-out fan.From the Trade Paperback edition.",,0.0,$11.99,192 Pages,English,Baseball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/90-of-the-game-is-half-mental/id420547825?mt=11 764701270,9 in 9: Nine Life Lessons Learned from Playing Nine Positions in One Nine Inning Baseball Game,Justin Toole,"Booklocker.com, Inc.","Oct 15, 2013","BookLocker.com, Inc.",,"9 in 9 is about an opportunity where I got to play every single position on the baseball diamond in one game, all nine positions in nine innings.

There are countless volumes celebrating the best teams in professional baseball. Unfortunately, winning represents only one side of the game. For every champion’s record-setting season, there has been an equally memorable story of defeat. These teams and their shameful contributions to America’s national pastime have been a neglected topic in the annals of baseball history. Until now.In You Stink!, two fanatical historians (or historian fans), Michael Aubrecht and Eric Wittenberg, give credit where it is far overdue with a statistically backed, satirical look at the worst teams and individuals ever to set foot on a diamond. You Stink! includes franchise origins, detailed stats, player profiles, photos, and more, as well as a collection of long-format essays in a “Hall of Shame” that recognizes some of the worst moments ever witnessed on a ball field. The first half of the book is based entirely on statistical data; in the second half the authors give their personal opinions.With an insightful foreword by Dave Raymond, the original “Phillie Phanatic,” You Stink! showcases disappointments on the diamond dating as far back as 1889. Readers are treated to stories of the worst teams, players, owners, calls, fans, plays, and more. A timeline of Major League terribleness and an assortment of quotations about losing complement this unique survey of shame. Ultimately, You Stink! celebrates a sport that gives us more than just wins and losses and drives to the heart of what all of us love about baseball. Fans bond with their teams, and everyone can relate to suffering through slumps.

From big arenas in Manila to makeshift hoops in small villages, basketball is played by Filipinos of all walks of life and is used to mark everything from summer breaks for students to religious festivals and many other occasions. Playing with the Big Boys traces the social history of basketball in the Philippines from an educational and “civilizing” tool in the early twentieth century to its status as national pastime since the country gained independence after World War II. While the phrase “playing with the big boys” describes the challenge of playing basketball against outsized opponents, it also describes the struggle for recognition that the Philippines, as a subaltern society, has had to contend with in its larger transnational relationships as a former U.S. colony. Lou Antolihao goes beyond the empire-colony dichotomy by covering Filipino basketball in a wider range of comparisons, such as that involving the growing influence of Asia in its region, particularly China and Japan.

A collection of all the best fiction and poetry on the sport of basketball, it glorifies the wild grace and rhythm of the game, and the place basketball has in our hearts. Great contemporary writers, from John Updike to Bobbie Ann Mason to John Edgar Wideman, and dozens of others, all have shown a soft spot for hoops in their writing. And those stories and poems are gathered here in a slam-dunk of a book. All who love the fluid, high-paced game will find themselves strangely moved by its beauty in print. Basketball is a game of a thousand frozen moments, tensions, eternities, struggles; and each of these is rendered with artistic majesty on every page. One boy learns the game from his father. Another gets a lesson from his mother, who can dunk like no one else. A rookie in the pros gets battered by his new teammates before winning their respect. A high school girl finds strength and and glimmers of her sexuality through the game. A young man plays a game against the devil himself. One man sees just how good extraterrestrials are at the game, much to his abiding awe. One man tells the story of a blind player who could still sink a jumper. Basketball is a far-reaching metaphor, embodying life, love, mortality, and all our hopes and aspirations. These poems and stories contain the game in so many permutations that no one who ever played will fail to see their game herein.

We called it the “hang-up,” says Owens. One day, in a competition to see who could pull the most cotton, Owens was leading his father, who then gave him the greatest life lesson: “It’s not what you have now that is important, it’s what you have at the hang-up.” He always reminded Ted that regardless of your station in life, whether encountering di culties or enjoying success, you should never lose sight of your ultimate goals. At the age of 5, Owens made his rst basketball goal, lifting the basketball from between his legs in an underhand scooping motion. It was at that moment that basketball became his rst love, a feeling he still embraces today. He went on to play at the University of Oklahoma for Naismith Hall of Fame Coach Bruce Drake, and he witnessed the rise of national championship programs led by football coach Bud Wilkinson, wrestling coach Port Robertson and baseball coach Jack Baer. This book is a story of the survival of a family built upon love, sacri ce, and the importance of family strength.

Herman “Helicopter” Knowings. Joe “The Destroyer” Hammond. Richard “Pee Wee” Kirkland. These and dozens of other colorfully nicknamed men are the “Asphalt Gods,” whose astounding exploits in the Rucker Tournament, often against multimillionaire NBA superstars, have made them playground divinity. First established in the 1950s by Holcombe Rucker, a New York City Parks Department employee, the tournament has grown to become a Harlem institution, an annual summer event of major proportions. On that fabled patch of concrete, unknown players have been lighting it up for decades as they express basketball as a freestyle art among their peers and against such pro immortals as Julius Erving and Wilt Chamberlain.

When the EMTs found me, there was a needle in my arm and a packet of heroin in the front seat.At basketball-crazy Durfee High School in Fall River, Massachusetts, junior guard Chris Herren carried his family's and the city's dreams on his skinny frame. His grandfather, father, and older brother had created their own sports legends in a declining city; he was the last, best hope for a career beyond the shuttered mills and factories. Herren was heavily recruited by major universities, chosen as a McDonald's All-American, featured in a Sports Illustrated cover story, and at just seventeen years old became the central figure in Fall River Dreams, an acclaimed book about the 1994 Durfee team's quest for the state championship. Leaving Fall River for college, Herren starred on Jerry Tarkanian's Fresno State Bulldogs team of talented misfits, which included future NBA players as well as future convicted felons. His gritty, tattooed, hip-hop persona drew the ire of rival fans and more national attention: Rolling Stone profiled him, 60 Minutes interviewed him, and the Denver Nuggets drafted him. When the Boston Celtics acquired his contract, he lived the dream of every Massachusetts kid--but off the court Herren was secretly crumbling, as his alcohol and drug use escalated and his life spiraled out of control. Twenty years later, Chris Herren was married to his high-school sweetheart, the father of three young children, and a heroin junkie. His basketball career was over, consumed by addictions; he had no job, no skills, and was a sadly familiar figure to those in Fall River who remembered him as a boy, now prowling the streets he once ruled, looking for a fix. One day, for a time he cannot remember, he would die. In his own words, Chris Herren tells how he nearly lost everything and everyone he loved, and how he found a way back to life.

As illuminated through David Halberstam’s trademark balance of impeccable research and fascinating storytelling, Jordan symbolizes the apex of the National Basketball Association’s coming of age. Long before multimillion-dollar signings and lucrative endorsements, NBA players worked in relative obscurity, with most games woefully unattended and rarely broadcast on television. Then came Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, Jordan’s two great predecessors, and the game’s status changed. The new era capitalized on Jordan’s talent, will power, and unrivaled competiveness. In Playing for Keeps, Halberstam is at his investigative best, delving into Jordan’s expansive world of teammates and coaches. The result is a gripping story of the athlete and media powerhouse who changed a game forever. This ebook features an extended biography of David Halberstam.“How good is this book? Well, let’s put it this way: Michael Jordan is the David Halberstam of basketball.” —USA Today “What David Halberstam delivers—and what the reader has come to expect from Halberstam—is insight, balance, analysis.” —The New York TimesDavid Halberstam (1934–2007) was a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and bestselling author. He is best known for both his courageous coverage of the Vietnam War for the New York Times, as well as for his twenty-one nonfiction books—which cover a wide array of topics, from the plight of Detroit and the auto industry to the captivating origins of baseball’s fiercest rivalry. Halberstam wrote for numerous publications throughout his career and, according to journalist George Packer, single-handedly set the standard of “the reporter as fearless truth teller.” Halberstam died in 2007.

Dr. James Naismith created the game in 1891 and while it was a popular game, the professional version of the sport did not do well. Leagues came and went. Some of the best teams in the early days didn't play in an organized league and instead barnstormed and played games wherever a promoter put down a floor and offered a few bucks to pay the players.The most successful of all the early basketball leagues, the National Basketball League, began operations in 1937. The NBL was based in the United States with teams that seemingly were aligned with the American auto industry in the Great Lakes region.In 1946, the American east coast-based arena owners began the Basketball Association of America. By 1949, the BAA owners were able to entice NBL franchises to join the new league and in 1949, the National Basketball Association was formed with the amalgamation of the two leagues.Basketball in the United States reflected the post-Civil War America. Negro players proved they could play with their white counterparts but were shut out of the professional leagues. The all-Negro clubs, the New York Rens and the Harlem Globetrotters won the World Professional Tournament in 1939 and 1940 beating established all-white National Basketball League teams. The NBL desegregated in 1942. The NBA would not sign a Negro player until 1950.The Harlem Globetrotters would be scheduled as part of an exhibition-NBA doubleheader in many NBA cities because the Globetrotters will draw a crowd. The 1950s NBA was a sports non-entity.In the 1960s, two leagues challenged the NBA for major league status in the United States. Both failed but changed the basketball industry despite financial problems.In the 1980s, the NBA was still on the brink of failure. This is the story of the professional basketball from the people who were there, their story of old cars, dance halls and chasing TV dollars.The book ends on February 1, 1984, the day David Stern became the fourth Commissioner of the National Basketball Association. Somehow the NBA survived against long odds in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Stern's NBA is sturdy. Franchise values have soared over a half billion dollars.

The world knew him as Ted Williams, The Kid, and Teddy Ballgame; at age ten, Claudia only knew him as Dad. Their life together had little to do with Triple Crowns and batting titles—instead their world consisted of casting fishing lines in New Brunswick, cross-country road trips, and squabbling at ""feeding time.""Now, in this tender and surprising memoir, Claudia, Ted Williams's last surviving child, recounts her time with one of baseball's brightest stars, offering a rare glimpse inside the Hall of Famer's life after he hung up his spikes. With a fresh insight, she presents an unexpected portrait of Ted Williams as more than the greatest hitter to ever live, but also as a flawed man with a kind heart. Having the larger-than-life and often intimidating ""Kid"" as a father was tumultuous, but never boring, and along with her older brother, John-Henry, Claudia learned to navigate their father's hot temper and eccentricities to get to know the great man beneath. Though Claudia grew up in her brother's shadow, she proved herself as an athlete and a daughter, ultimately becoming her father's caretaker and confidante. Their relationship evolved throughout her life, but they eventually formed a bond built on love, respect, and loyalty that both she and her brother shared. Opening up for the first time about the rumors that her family faced during Ted Williams's final years as well as his controversial choice to be cryogenically preserved after his death, Claudia details the full story behind her father's decision, showing that, rather than an impulsive act in his last days, it was the product of extensive family discussion that addressed his doubts about organized religion and his struggle with the end of life.Filled with personal stories of his strengths and weaknesses, accomplishments and regrets, Claudia's poignant account tells the story of a complicated man and the family he loved.

Bradley’s on-court writing is as fast and direct and full of vigor as the game of basketball. The book conveys to us what it was really all about: how it felt to be him in the moment. And he succeeds. What is more striking perhaps is that Bradley balances this with his off-court writing: scenes of driving on the bus with the team through a grey downtown Cleveland as they make their way to the airport--industrial cities that have long ago burnt out, he tell us, the car wheels sucking on the wet pavement. Bradley brings life on the road as a pro-athlete to life. He writes with a directness that is fresh and unexpected. Reader’s will enjoy this key-hole view into the life of a pro-athlete: they may laugh at some of what they see, be fascinated, and by turns, be horrified.

Play Their Hearts Out reveals a cutthroat world where boys as young as eight or nine are subjected to a dizzying torrent of scrutiny and exploitation. At the book’s heart are the personal stories of two compelling figures: Joe Keller, an ambitious coach with a master plan to find and promote “the next LeBron,” and Demetrius Walker, a fatherless latchkey kid who falls under Keller’s sway and struggles to live up to unrealistic expectations. Complete with a new “where-are-they-now” Epilogue by the author, this thoroughly compelling narrative exposes the gritty reality that lies beneath so many dreams of fame and glory.

Though the Bonnies would lose that day, the moments that accompanied that game provided St. Bonaventure's proud alumni a vast sense of pride. For a men's basketball program that was once considered an elite entity, it was fulfilling return to glory. No one could have envisioned then that St. Bonaventure basketball would endure lowest of lows almost exactly three years later. The St. Bonaventure basketball scandal of 2003 created national headlines and rocked to its core a proud institution. The university president schemed to allow an ineligible player, by NCAA standards, on the court, leading to series of damning events. Victories were forfeited, a team in turmoil quit on its season, several of those involved were fired and the president of the board of trustees, ripped by his role in the sorry state of affairs, committed suicide. As student-managers, we closely witnessed the circumstances that led to the upheaval. We were in the locker room, the coaches offices and on the team bench. We were there for all the corruption, deceit and greed.

A defender has to defend against all three threats (that is, if you are capable of attacking all three ways) and has no idea what you are going to do. Essentially, she is at your mercy. Are you prepared, skill-wise, to take advantage? This Hoop Handbook will have you on your way, with it’s focus on the jab step and options using the jab step. A jab step is a step you take with the foot that is not your pivot foot to probe and attack the defense. A jab step can be slow or quick, short or long, to the left, right, forward or backward. Its purpose is to put pressure on the defense, and to see how a defender reacts to it -- and then to take advantage of what you see and feel. This Handbook is not to tell you which moves to use and when -- that’s not how you play high-level basketball. You must develop the skills to respond to what you see in the moment, which you cannot predict. With enough skill, you will have a move or technique to react to anything and everything a defense/ defender tries. We cover passing in the Passing Mini-Handbook and shooting in the Shooting and the Scoring Moves #2 Handbooks. This Handbook will focus on attacking off the dribble for drives and jumpshots with the jab step. Once you become familiar with the movements, you will find that you can get creative and come up with your own combinations of moves and footwork -- the driving moves can be used to create jumpshots, the shooting moves can be used for driving, etc. ",,0.0,$7.99,13 Pages,English,Basketball,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/hoophandbook-13-triple-threat/id644692167?mt=11 1031293192,Basketball Fundamentals,Jay Mikes,BookBaby,"Jan 01, 1987",BookBaby,A Complete Mental Training Guide,"In Basketball FundaMENTALs: A Complete Mental Training Guide, author, Jay Mikes, introduces you to the mental fundamentals of basketball by focusing on the Three Cs of Peak Performance—Concentration, Confidence and Composure.

The Splendid Splinter. Teddy Ballgame. One of the greatest figures of his generation, and arguably the greatest baseball hitter of all time. But what made Ted Williams a legend – and a lightning rod for controversy in life and in death? What motivated him to interrupt his Hall of Fame career twice to serve his country as a fighter pilot; to embrace his fans while tangling with the media; to retreat from the limelight whenever possible into his solitary love of fishing; and to become the most famous man ever to have his body cryogenically frozen after his death? New York Times bestselling author Leigh Montville, who wrote the celebrated Sports Illustrated obituary of Ted Williams, now delivers an intimate, riveting account of this extraordinary life. Still a gangly teenager when he stepped into a Boston Red Sox uniform in 1939, Williams’s boisterous personality and penchant for towering home runs earned him adoring admirers--the fans--and venomous critics--the sportswriters. In 1941, the entire country followed Williams's stunning .406 season, a record that has not been touched in over six decades. At the pinnacle of his prime, Williams left Boston to train and serve as a fighter pilot in World War II, missing three full years of baseball. He was back in 1946, dominating the sport alongside teammates Dominic DiMaggio, Johnny Pesky, and Bobby Doerr. But Williams left baseball again in 1952 to fight in Korea, where he flew thirty-nine combat missions—crash-landing his flaming, smoke-filled plane, in one famous episode.Ted Willams's personal life was equally colorful. His attraction to women (and their attraction to him) was a constant. He was married and divorced three times and he fathered two daughters and a son. He was one of corporate America's first modern spokesmen, and he remained, nearly into his eighties, a fiercely devoted fisherman. With his son, John Henry Williams, he devoted his final years to the sports memorabilia business, even as illness overtook him. And in death, controversy and public outcry followed Williams and the disagreements between his children over the decision to have his body preserved for future resuscitation in a cryonics facility--a fate, many argue, Williams never wanted. With unmatched verve and passion, and drawing upon hundreds of interviews, acclaimed best-selling author Leigh Montville brings to life Ted Williams's superb triumphs, lonely tragedies, and intensely colorful personality, in a biography that is fitting of an American hero and legend.From the Trade Paperback edition.",3.71429,3.5,$13.99,560 Pages,English,Biographies & Memoirs,https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/ted-williams/id420660574?mt=11 727436226,100 Things Dodgers Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die,Jon Weisman,Triumph Books,"Apr 01, 2013","Chicago Review Press, Inc.
