Download or read book Jimmy Jumper written by Domokos Gyorgy Varga and published by Vanguard Press. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jimmy Jumper is not your average flea. With a way-higher-than-average intelligence and the ability to talk, coupled with an astuteness and zest for life, rarely seen even in most humans, it's no wonder Jimmy has the ability to make connections with people from all walks of life. Oh, and animals too! (That is, as long as he sits snugly in their ear!) In this book, Jimmy tells his best friend, Danny, a young lad, about his amazing adventures, one of which took him as far as an uninhabited island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Or that time when he spent Christmas in a cave with a homeless couple who, despite their meagre possessions in life, showed Jimmy how true love really can overcome the most desperate of circumstances.

Book Synopsis Zan and the Mythical Art of Miz-Management by : James Alden
Download or read book Zan and the Mythical Art of Miz-Management written by James Alden and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The suggestions on management behaviour outlined in this book are in support of the principles of Miz-Management and the theoretical methodology for creating an ideal state of Mizery in the workplace. Miz is simply a contraction of the word miserable and therefore, Miz-Management means miserable management for Mizzies (masochists). While the purpose of this book remains vague, it attempts to outline largely unproven methodologies, supported by unimaginative examples of Miz-Management behaviour, specifically for those who want to be perceived as trying to improve their management skills, but who really want to be anything but successful. With the best of intentions to simply fill the void for a Miz-Management behaviour guide, unfortunately it has also been inadvertently adopted by some masochistically challenged managers for Miz-Use as an inverse guide to impede the advancement of Miz-Management in the workplace. Fortunately this counter culture will not succeed because the Miz-Force is strong.
Download or read book Rise and Fire written by Shawn Fury and published by Flatiron Books. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s hard to believe that there was a time when the jump shot didn’t exist in basketball. When the sport was invented in 1891, players would take set shots with both feet firmly planted on the ground. Defenders controlled the sport, the pace was slower, and games would frequently end with scores fit for a football field. It took almost forty years before players began shooting jump shots of any kind and sixty-five years before it became a common sight. When the first jump shooting pioneers left the ground, they rose not only above their defenders, but also above the sport’s conventions. The jump shot created a soaring offense, infectious excitement, loyal fans, and legends. Basketball would never be the same. Rise and Fire celebrates this crucial shot while tracing the history of how it revolutionized the game, shedding light on all corners of the basketball world, from NBA arenas to the playgrounds of New York City and the barns of Indiana. Award-winning journalist Shawn Fury obsesses over the jump shot, explores its fundamentals, puzzles over its complexities, marvels at its simplicity, and honors those who created some of basketball’s greatest moments. Part history, part travelogue, and part memoir, Rise and Fire bounces from the dirt courts 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. Impeccably researched and engaging, the book features interviews and profiles of legendary figures like Jerry West, Bob McAdoo, Ray Allen, and Denise Long---the first woman ever drafted by the NBA, plus dozens more, revealing the evolution of the shot over time. Analyzing the techniques and reliving some of the most unforgettable plays from the greats, Fury creates a technical, personal, historical, and even spiritual examination of the shot. This is not a dry how-to textbook of basketball mechanics; it is a lively tour of basketball history and a love letter to the sport and the shot that changed it forever.

Book excerpt: Cracker Westerns are rip-roarin, action-packed, can't-put-'em-down tales set in the frontier days of Florida. They are full of adventure, real heroes, and vivid, authentic details that bring Florida's history to life. With enough shoot-outs and stampedes for any good Western story, Alligator Gold adds its unique Florida twist with an alligator in a deep blue spring. The Civil War is over and Caleb Hawkins is finally on his way home from a Northern prisoner-of-war camp. Hawk's been trying to get his mind off giving the rotten Snake Barber part of the secret to finding his family's hidden cache of gold when he was delirious with malaria at the camp. Now he's focused on getting back to the D-Wing, his Florida cattle ranch, and Travis, his only son. But his code of honor intervenes when he encounters a very pregnant Madelaine Wilkes along the trail. Hawk is duty-bound to help her, which comes to include taking her home with him. What he learns about the father of her baby tarnishes his clear attraction to her. Maddy Wilkes has her own code of honor, which gets in the way of her strong attraction to Hawk. And Snake Barber's singular lack of moral code gets in the way of any normal life on the D-Wing. See all of the books in this series

Book excerpt: It was going on ten o'clock the next morning when Luther heard a car pull into the ranch yard. He opened the barn door and saw the SUV. The driver's and two back doors open and three people got out. Luther stopped in his tracks. Now who in the heck was this? Could it be his new southern cook had two children? Why hadn't he mentioned that little bit of news on the phone yesterday? Well, we'll see about this! He wasn't a happy man. Luther walked purposely toward the car that stood by the front porch. Just then a chilled wind whipped the lady's hat away. The woman's hair, free of its confine, flew out like a blond flag streaming in the wind. She reached up grabbing at her hair as the same frisky wind opened her coat wide enough for Luther to catch a glimpse of this delightfully shaped...lady. Oh...Wow! Luther's anger was momentarily forgotten that she was here to interview for a job. Myohmy, some southern lady, was all he could think! As he walked toward her he swept up her hat that was tumbling along the ground. "Welcome to Rocking Horse, Ma'am, I'm Luther Strong-bow." he was rather proud of being able to overcome his surprise. "I'm Miss Golight, Sir." Oh, that velvety, southern voice. Lord, help me now! "Ah, pleased to meet you. We'd better go in as the storm looks to be arriving earlier than expected." he said and offered the hat back to her. Luther opened the front door and caught a whiff of some light perfume as she passed by him causing his nose to quiver like a rabbit's. Whoa boy, that's not a good sign. Luther struggled to bring himself back to a business-like mode.
Download or read book Never Quit written by Jimmy Settle and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “That Others May Live” is a mantra that defines the fearless men of Alaska’s 212th Pararescue Unit, the PJs, one of the most elite military forces on the planet. Whether they are rescuing citizens injured and freezing in the Alaskan wilderness or saving wounded Rangers and SEALS in blazing firefights at war, the PJs are the least known and most highly trained of America’s warriors. Never Quit is the true story of how Jimmy Settle, an Alaskan shoe store clerk, became a Special Forces Operator and war hero. After being shot in the head during a dangerous high mountain operation in the rugged Watapur Valley in Afghanistan, Jimmy returns to battle with his teammates for a heroic rescue, the bullet fragments stitched over and still in his skull. In a cross between a suicide rescue mission and an against-all-odds mountain battle, his team of PJs risk their lives again in an epic firefight. When his helicopter is hit and begins leaking fuel, Jimmy finds himself in the worst possible position as a rescue specialist—forced to leave members from his own team behind. Jimmy will have to risk everything to get back into the battle and bring back his brothers. From death-defying Alaskan wilderness training, wild rescues, and vicious battles against the Taliban and Al Qaeda, this is an explosive special operations memoir unlike any that has come before, and the true story of a man from humble beginnings who became an American hero.
