Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seasons come and go, but Wynter seemed to leave too soon. When Jonathan Pitts took his wife of 15 years into his arms for their anniversary dance, he had no idea that within a month he would be on a completely different journey, navigating life after Wynter's sudden death at the age of 38. One moment he was married to a successful author and magazine publisher, and putting the finishing touches on their book about marriage. The next he was a widower and a single father of four grieving daughters. Without warning, the future his family had planned together dissolved, leaving Jonathan trying to answer the question that echoed through his daughters’ hearts and his own: How could a loving God allow this unspeakable loss? My Wynter Season is Jonathan’s story of losing the most wonderful gift he had ever been given and his journey toward understanding life without her. Yet in the wilderness of his grief, Jonathan found himself surrounded by God’s extravagant love, and came to truly understand Christ’s life-giving promise that death is not the end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a history of a major American university from its birth on the western frontier in the eighteenth century through its two-hundredth anniversary. Told primarily through the stories of its energetic and sometimes eccentric chancellors, it's a colorful and highly readable chronicle of the University of Pittsburgh. The story begins in the early spring of 1781, when an ambitious young Philadelphia lawyer named Hugh Henry Brackenridge crossed the Alleghenies to seek his opportunity in Pittsburgh. "My object,"?he wrote, "was to advance the country [Western Pennsylvania] and thereby myself." He founded Pittsburgh Academy, later to be the Western University of Pennsylvania and then the University of Pittsburgh, and lived to see the school grow along with the city. Author Robert C. Alberts, mines the University archives and describes many issues for the first time. Among them is the role played by the Board of Trustees in the conflicts of the administration of Chancellor John Gabbert Bowman, including the firing of a controversial history professor, Ralph Turner; the resignation of the legendary football coach, Jock Sutherland; and a Board investigation into Bowman's handling of faculty and staff. We see Pitt's decade of progress under Edward Litchfield (1956-165), who gambled that the millions of dollars he spent . . . would be forthcoming form somewhere or someone; but who, as it turned out was mistaken." Pitt became a state-related university in August 1966, but financial stability was achieved gradually during the administration of Chancellor Wesley W. Posvar. The ensuing crisis of the 1960s and early 1970, caused by the Vietnam War, and the student protests that accompanied it, are described in rich detail. The history then follows Pitt's emergence as a force in international higher education; the institution's role in fostering a cooperative relationship with business; and its entry into the postindustrial age of high technology. The story of Pitt reflects all the struggles and the hopes of the region. As Alberts writes in his preface, "There was drama; there was tragedy; there was indeed controversy and politics. There were, unexpectedly, rich veins of humor, occasionally of comedy."

Book Synopsis Earnest, Earnest? by : Eleanor Boudreau
Download or read book Earnest, Earnest? written by Eleanor Boudreau and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Earnest, Earnest?, the speaker, Eleanor, writes postcards to her on-again-off-again lover, Earnest. The fact that her lover’s name is Earnest and that their relationship is fraught, raises questions of sincerity and irony, and whether both can be present at the same time. While Earnest can be read literally as Eleanor’s lover, he is best understood as another side of the poet’s self. The ambiguity at play in Earnest, Earnest? is embodied in the form of the “Earnest Postcards” that structure the book—these postcards are experimental in their use of images and formal in their dialogue with the sonnet. Thus, Earnest, Earnest? is a question of tone, address, and form.

Book Synopsis When Pitt Ruled the Gridiron by : David Finoli
Download or read book When Pitt Ruled the Gridiron written by David Finoli and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-12-24 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1929 and 1937, Hall of Fame coach Jock Sutherland took the championship program at the University of Pittsburgh that was built by his mentor Glenn "Pop" Warner, and won five of the nine national championships the school now claims. While a successful period, it was also controversial: Sutherland enjoyed the support of a group of wealthy boosters named the Golden Panthers, who helped him secure the services of the best players western Pennsylvania had to offer. While they made sure the players had what they needed, the school also made sure they had enough money to be comfortable. Critics accused Pitt of employing what amounted to professional athletes in a college sport. These accusations not only embarrassed the school administration, but led to the end of their dynasty and its coach. This book tells the exciting tale of their championship run, and describes how their downfall began what has since been a continual academics versus athletics tug-of-war at the school.
Book Synopsis Pittsburgh’s Greatest Teams by : David Finoli
Download or read book Pittsburgh’s Greatest Teams written by David Finoli and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pittsburgh is synonymous with winning. From the Penguins and Steelers to the Pirates and Panthers, the Steel City knows championships. There must be something special in the water to make Pittsburgh so particularly gifted with its sports teams. The most famous teams in the city's history would most likely be the 1970s Steelers, known as the Steel Curtain for obvious reasons, and the Penguins who raised the Stanley Cup five times. Names such as Lemieux, Crosby, Roethlisberger, Bradshaw, Clemente and Stargell are legends of American sport and members of Pittsburgh's most cherished franchises, but for every sports legend and multi-million dollar franchise, there are a dozen more talented players and long-past teams that have been forgotten to history; the Negro League's Crawford and Homestead Grays are too often overlooked in the city's sports history but were as talented as any team that has played there. Author Dave Finoli ranks the fifty greatest teams that won trophies, brought glory and lifted the hearts of Pittsburgh's devoted sports fans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voted one of the five best poetry collections for 2012 by Publishers Weekly, Animal Eye employs pastoral motifs to engage a discourse on life and love, as Coal Hill Review states "It is as if a scientist is at work in the basement of the museum of natural history, building a diorama of an entire ecosystem via words. She seem snot only interested in using the natural world as a metaphoric lens in her poems but is set on building them item by item into natural worlds themselves."

Book Synopsis Tales from the Pitt Panthers by : Sam Sciullo
Download or read book Tales from the Pitt Panthers written by Sam Sciullo and published by Sports Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2004 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pitt Panthers or the Pittsburgh Panthers? Even their name evokes an argument, a touch of controversy. For anyone who has followed the football and basketball fortunes of the University of Pittsburgh, however, controversy is just one of many facets of Pitt's programs throughout the institution's very long history. Pitt has fielded a football team since 1890 and will celebrate its 100th year of basketball in 2005. Both programs have experienced plenty of success, periods of failure, lots of humor, and some old-fashioned heartbreak along the way. Tales from the Pitt Panthers goes straight to the people who have lived with and contributed to the stories of Pitt football and basketball, including players, coaches, administrators, and fans. Author Sam Sciullo Jr. does not intend the book to be a chronological history of either sport, but rather a look back at some of famous-and not-so-famous--games, teams, incidents, and personalities from both the football and basketball programs. From the recruitment of football legends like Marshall Goldberg, Tony Dorsett, and Dan Marino, to the basketball prowess of Charley Hyatt and Charles Smith. Tales from the Pitt Panthers takes a behind-the-scenes look at a major metropolitan area's sports team that continue to excite and, at times, confound its loyalists. This is a book for fans that have ever wondered what it was like to be in the locker room just moments before the opening kickoff or have thought about the emotions felt in the aftermath of a key victory or a crushing loss. Included are stories about Tony Dorsett running to the Heisman Trophy and Pitt's national championship season in 1976, a 1970 basketball game at the Field House when a brashpoint guard decided to take strategy into his own hands, the things Larry Fitzgerald learned from his near-miss shot at the Heisman Trophy in 2003, and Jamie Dixon's thoughts when school officials searched for Ben Howland's replacement after the 2003 season. Tales from the Pitt Panthers offers a wide-angled look at Pitt football and basketball from several different perspectives, from both inside and outside the program.
