Download or read book Gator written by Ron Guidry and published by Crown Archetype. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legendary New York Yankees pitcher Ron Guidry recounts his years playing for one of the most storied and celebrated teams in sports history--the world champion New York Yankees during their heyday in the Bronx Zoo years, with manic manager Billy Martin, headline loving owner George Steinbrenner, and an ego-driven all-star cast that included everyone from slugger Reggie Jackson and All star catcher Thurman Munson to Cy Young Award winners Sparky Lyle and Catfish Hunter. Ron Guidry, known as Gator and Louisiana Lightning to his teammates, quickly rose in 1977 to become the ace of the Yankees' stellar pitching staff, helping the team regarded as the most famous and notorious in Yankee history win the World Series. In 1978, he went 25-3 with a 1.74 ERA and won the Cy Young Award as the best pitcher in baseball, helping to bring home the Yankees' second straight World Series championship. A four-time All Star and five-time Golden Glove winner, he played from 1976 to 1988, served as the Yankees' captain in the 1980s, and remains one of the greatest pitchers in Yankee history. In Gator, Guidry takes us inside the clubhouse to tell us what it was like to play amidst the chaos and almost daily confrontations between Billy Martin and George Steinbrenner, Martin's altercations with star slugger Reggie "the straw that stirs the drink" Jackson. He talks poignantly about the death of Thurman Munson in 1979, and the impact that had on Ron and on the club. He tells stories about players like Lou Pinella, Willie Randolph, Bucky Dent, Catfish Hunter, Chris Chambliss, and Mickey Rivers, and coach Yogi Berra (who in 1984 became the Yankees' manager) and Elston Howard.

Book excerpt: In 1967, one of the hottest areas in Vietnam was the so-called DMZ in northern I Corps, where the NVA had abundant troops and in many places could call up massive artillery firepower--against Marines in the field or as counterbattery. For 13 months, author Richard Guidry, a young black Marine from Texas, fought there as an infantryman in Bravo, 1/4, in some of the war's worst infantry combat. In riveting detail and from the point of view of a black soldier, Guidry captures jungle, mountain, and grassland battles, where death could erupt in a second.

Download or read book Driving Mr. Yogi written by Harvey Araton and published by HMH. This book was released on 2012-04-03 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A warm, sentimental look at a baseball icon” (The Tampa Tribune). Driving Mr. Yogi is the story of a unique friendship between two New York Yankees legends—a pitcher and catcher—who share rides, meals, and a bond that transcends the twenty-five-year difference in their ages. The story begins in 1999, when Hall of Famer Yogi Berra is reunited with the Yankees after a long self-exile, the result of being unceremoniously fired by team owner George Steinbrenner fourteen years before. A reconciliation between Berra and the boss means that Berra will once again attend spring training. Retired-pitcher-turned-pitching-coach Ron Guidry knows the club’s young players will benefit from “Mr. Yogi’s” encyclopedic knowledge of the game, just as Guidry had during his playing days, so he encourages his old mentor to share his insights. In Yogi, Guidry finds not just a personable dinner companion or source of amusement—he finds 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. “Funny, revealing, and surprising . . . Anything that brings new Yogi Berra stories is a good book.” —MLB.com “Lovingly documented . . . You’ll find yourself wishing it ain’t over till it’s over.” —Parade magazine

Book excerpt: "....Turning the Ship is not for the faint of heart...." Dr. Voddie Baucham Elder, Grace Family Baptist Church, Houston, Texas "The Church today desperately needs prophets to challenge us on how we "do" church. Dustin Guidry is certainly a prophet! His prophetic voice will be fully understood when reading Turning the Ship. While you may not always agree with him, he will challenge the way we "do" church and how we raise our children along with living our lives as believers. Hold on as you read because you may find you don't have a rudder that is directing your own course as you journey through life." Jay McSwain PLACE Ministries, Atlanta, Georgia "It has been a long time since I have been excited about a book that I have read, other than the Bible. Dustin Guidry has excellent insight into many of the problems facing today's Christian body of believers. He also has a simple answer for these problems: God's Word. I agree with Dustin, that our families, and our churches must return to the sufficiency of scripture in all aspects of our lives." Dr. Travis Plumlee Family Ark Ministries, Conway, Arkansas Dustin Guidry is lead pastor of Ridgewood Church. He and his wife, Kerri, reside in Port Arthur, Texas with their three beautiful daughters.

Book Synopsis Modern General Relativity by : Mike Guidry
Download or read book Modern General Relativity written by Mike Guidry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Einstein's general theory of relativity is widely considered to be one of the most elegant and successful scientific theories ever developed, and it is increasingly being taught in a simplified form at advanced undergraduate level within both physics and mathematics departments. Due to the increasing interest in gravitational physics, in both the academic and the public sphere, driven largely by widely-publicised developments such as the recent observations of gravitational waves, general relativity is also one of the most popular scientific topics pursued through self-study. Modern General Relativity introduces the reader to the general theory of relativity using an example-based approach, before describing some of its most important applications in cosmology and astrophysics, such as gamma-ray bursts, neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational waves. With hundreds of worked examples, explanatory boxes, and end-of-chapter problems, this textbook provides a solid foundation for understanding one of the towering achievements of twentieth-century physics.

Download or read book Acu Kinesiology written by Dr. Richard Guidry and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This could possibly be the most important book you will ever read concerning the quality of life in the domain of health and spiritual connection to Divine Spirit. For every physical ailment there is an energetic pathology involved. It is impossible to get maximum correction in the most expedient manner, unless this energetic element is addressed. Most people in America are unaware of this energetic element. This book will introduce to you your energetic self through the four components of the Acupuncture System. There are numerous energetic healing modalities used around the world that use the principles of the Acupuncture System as a foundation. Acu Kinesiology is a system based on the principles of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the main operating system of Acupuncture. Acu Kinesiology integrates the Chakra System and the Musculo-tendeno Meridians System into the healing equation, which accounts for the exceptional speed and longevity of recovery. Acu Kinesiology effectively releases the contraction caused by energetic pathologies, enabling patients to experience symptomatic relief. This book will reveal the ways in which our energetic self is associated with the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of life. Our quality of life is determined by how good we feel in these relationships to our energetic self. When we are attuned to the flow of Divine Spirit through our energetic body, the quality of our well-being is higher.
Book Synopsis Engaging the Community in Decision Making by : Roz Diane Lasker
Download or read book Engaging the Community in Decision Making written by Roz Diane Lasker and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2009-03-23 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the rapidly growing field of community participation has promised to give people formerly excluded from decision making an influential voice about issues that affect their lives. Inclusive processes implemented in the United States and internationally have certainly given community members new opportunities to participate and be involved, but how effective are these processes in promoting the voice and influence of the people who have historically been excluded the most--the poorest, least educated, and most marginalized residents in communities? Of the various participants who have "a seat at the table," whose voices are influential, whose aren't, and why? This book summarizes how five community partnerships, working with a team of researchers, attempted to answer these critical questions. Investigating 10 cases--two from each community partnership--the study tracks the ideas of everyone involved and reveals how and why the ideas of marginalized and ordinary residents were far less likely to be influential than those of people with more clout, resources, or acknowledged expertise. Finally, the authors explain how and why these influence inequities can be overcome, providing readers with practical, evidence-based tools to help them do so. The book should be helpful to readers involved in any form of active community participation, from participatory research to civic engagement, deliberative democracy, and community initiatives.
