Book Synopsis Frank and George Mann: Brewing, Batting and Captaincy by : Brian Rendell
Download or read book Frank and George Mann: Brewing, Batting and Captaincy written by Brian Rendell and published by Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father and Son: Middlesex and England: Beer and Skittles: Fame and Fortune. Between them Frank and George Mann achieved, in varying measure, all these word pairs in the first half of the twentieth century. They both captained Middlesex to the County Championship and led successful England sides on tours to South Africa. Until the takeover frenzy of the 1970s, the family’s highly successful brewery business, based in East London, was a leading player in the social fabric of southern England. Mann’s Brown Ale can still be found on supermarket shelves today. Both served in Britain’s armed forces outside its shores. Both filled middle-order batting positions for county and country; they took catches, often painfully, at mid off; and every so often they sent down a few deliveries to help bring a match to its conclusion. Frank’s mighty hitting emptied beer tents, sometimes to the detriment of sales of his brewery’s products. George’s management skills were brought to bear on the administration of English cricket. Using material from a wide range of sources, Brian Rendell here brings together a story far larger than the 20,000 first-class runs they scored between them.
Download or read book 61 for 1 written by Tim Jones and published by Grosvenor House Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This definitive and expertly researched work chronicles the careers and life stories of 61 Worcestershire cricketers who played just a single game of Championship cricket for the county. The breadth and depth of material not only provides the career details of each player, which you would expect to see in such a publication, it reaches way beyond that. It includes at least one photograph of each player, and in several instances, details of births, deaths, schools, universities attended and chosen careers; have been included or corrected based on new information which has come to light. Coupled to that, it provides a fascinating insight into the lives of players and dovetails as a social history of the last 120 years. Due to this research, and because of the thorough work undertaken by the author, the identity of two players has been changed completely. It has; therefore, necessitated the re-writing of existing and hitherto definitive, established cricket records. While many of the players may not be household names, the book celebrates their remarkable lives and careers away from the cricket field, because each has a unique story to tell. Included are great Test cricketers, stalwarts of league cricket and those who excelled in their own professions or served their community and country with dignity. Whether at other sports, within education, business and commerce or during times of conflict - the latter tinged with sadness that two of the players paid the ultimate sacrifice - they all helped to forge a unique place in Worcestershire's cricketing history.

Book excerpt: Growing up on the rough streets of Newark, New Jersey, Rameck, George,and Sampson could easily have followed their childhood friends into drug dealing, gangs, and prison. But when a presentation at their school made the three boys aware of the opportunities available to them in the medical and dental professions, they made a pact among themselves that they would become doctors.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice!

You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Book excerpt: This is the third volume in a series outlining the lives of each man who has playedfirst-class cricket for Somerset. The first two books, the award-winning SomersetCricketers 1882 - 1914 and Somerset Cricketers 1919 - 1939, were widely praised ashugely informative and very readable accounts of the history of cricket in the county,with engaging detours into social history. Somerset Cricketers 1946 - 1970 continuesin the same vein and is sure to delight anyone with an interest in this fascinating club.This time the story begins in the aftermath of the Second World War, with the clubstill under the control of men who had been involved with Somerset CCC since theVictorian era and espoused what they regarded as the virtues of amateurism.Professionals were seen as a necessary evil and the winning of trophies as an irrelevance.Slowly and surely the voice of the supporters was heard as they called forchange. And yet, Somerset still managed to call on their fair share of larger-than-lifecharacters whose exploits off the pitch were at times as compelling as the flurries ofexcitement on match days. Somerset Cricketers 1946 - 1970 offers insights into thelives and times of the 113 debutants in that era and in a number of instances we readwithin the pages the frank and entertaining accounts and fond memories of thosemen themselves. As one of the players - that grizzled veteran, the late Bill Alley -once wrote: 'While other teams fretted away worrying about the destination of theChampionships, we were content to earn a reputation as the best social team in thecountry. My word, how we enjoyed ourselves!'

Book excerpt: Addressing a field that has been dominated by astronomers, physicists, engineers, and computer scientists, the contributors to this collection raise questions that may have been overlooked by physical scientists about the ease of establishing meaningful communication with an extraterrestrial intelligence. These scholars are grappling with some of the enormous challenges that will face humanity if an information-rich signal emanating from another world is detected. By drawing on issues at the core of contemporary archaeology and anthropology, we can be much better prepared for contact with an extraterrestrial civilization, should that day ever come.
