Book Synopsis Soccer Greatness at Saint Finbarr’s College (Volume Ii): by : Deji Badiru
Download or read book Soccer Greatness at Saint Finbarr’s College (Volume Ii): written by Deji Badiru and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2023-06-13 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a continuation of the several previous “legacy” books about Saint Finbarr’s College, Lagos, Nigeria. It is a book of historical legacy of the school, with a long-term reputation for academic excellence, student discipline, and soccer superiority. The focus of this book is to salute, recognize, and celebrate the special group of Students, the athletes, particularly the soccer players. Much has been written about the accomplishments of other groups of ex-Finbarrians, but nothing has been written collectively about the soccer players. It is a book targeting the alumni of the school to bring appropriate glory and recognition to the soccer players of the school, many of whom have gone on to play for the Nigerian National Team as well as play professionally around the world.
Book Synopsis Wreckless in the City by : Deji Badiru
Download or read book Wreckless in the City written by Deji Badiru and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title “Wreckless in the City” is a humorous play on the words reckless (as in carelessness) and wreck (as in a traffic wreck). The hope is that with the lessons learned in this book, traffic wrecks due to recklessness could be reduced, if not eliminated, on city streets and beyond. Although the guide is primarily for teenage drivers, it is also applicable to all drivers (experienced adults included). Not only will readers learn about safe-driving tips and guidelines, the real science of physics, as it relates to motion, can also be appreciated. If I can get the reader’s initial attention through a humorous opening, I will have a chance of retaining the attention through the other critical steps of getting my point across. The goal is to have “wreckless” driving experiences in the city and everywhere else. Auto accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers, particularly young men. Worldwide records show that every year, almost two million people are killed in road accidents and about 50 million more are seriously injured.
Download or read book Margin of Death written by Deji Badiru and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margin of Death is a cautionary note on death being a slim margin away in the activities we engage in. The book presents safety and life-preservation tips to avoid, minimize, or mitigate accidental disasters that could rob people of their precious lives. Although the topic is serious and unnerving, this book is written in a humorous tone, perhaps to put readers at ease. Life is always at risk from a variety of sources, ranging from accidental, negligent, and deliberate acts. While natural age-driven death is accepted, we should minimize exposure to other non-scheduled, life-robbing incidents, a majority of which are manmade. A near miss is the one we know about, but the narrow margins are the ones we never know.
Download or read book Mathmamiya written by Deji Badiru and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2024-06-19 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a math-mentoring book without the gory mathematical expressions. The intended purpose of this book is to allay the fear of mathematics that most people have. Math is actually a tame and fun ally in accomplishing a lot of things in life, such as investment, social networking, commerce, technology, engineering, and science. I encourage and spark the interest of young people, especially girls, to embrace Mathematics to their full potential. The inherent mathematical ability may be there, but the confidence and pathway to manifest and leverage the ability may not be known. One way to discover and elicit the underlying ability is through humor and cajoling, which is the purpose of this freeform book.
Book Synopsis Physics of My Homemade Stockfish: by : Deji Badiru
Download or read book Physics of My Homemade Stockfish: written by Deji Badiru and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2024-10-22 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about recreational experimentations with making homemade food products. The author narrates how he got into the exciting act of making Stockfish, which is air dried cod fish. The title of this book follows the topical titles of some previous book titles in the ABICS Publications series. Notably, Physics of Soccer, Physics in the Nigerian Kitchen, and Physics of Skateboarding. My website www.PhysicsofSoccer.com states that "Biology determines what we are, Chemistry explains what makes us what we are, and Physics describes what we do." In Stockfish making, chemistry and biology probably plays a bigger role than physics as a science. However, figuratively, “physics” of something is often used to refer to how something is done, as in how to execute the logistics and dynamics of making homemade food products.

Denis Joseph Slattery is celebrated in this third book chronicling the history and achievements of Saint Finbarrs College, Akoka, Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria. Written by an alumnus of the college, the series examines the continuing efforts of Saint Finbarrs College Old Boys Association to enliven the story of the institution and includes stories from numerous alumni who recall Father Slattery with fondness. The Rev. Slattery, an Irish priest, member of the Society of African Missions (a Roman Catholic missionary organization), and founder of the college, touched the lives of many students who have gone on to make significant personal and professional contributions to the world. In addition to educating students, the Rev. Slattery and his college made a huge difference in promoting the value of sportsmanship, discipline, and timeless values. While the Rev. Slattery died in 2003, his legacy can be seen throughout Nigeria and beyond. Youll be inspired by how one persons commitment can lead so many others to success when you read The Story of Saint Finbarrs College.
Book Synopsis Angels with Dirty Faces by : Jonathan Wilson

Book excerpt: 'ABSORBING' Guardian 'ENTHRALLING' New Statesman 'EPIC' Evening Standard 'INESCAPABLE' The Sunday Times 'MAGISTERIAL' Irish Examiner Fully revised and updated, the definitive history of Argentinian football from the award-winning author of Inverting the Pyramid Alfredo Di Stefano, Diego Maradona, Gabriel Batistua, Juan Roman Riquelme, Lionel Messi... Argentina has produced some of the greatest footballers of all time. But the rich, volatile history of Argentinian football is made up of both the sublime and the ruthlessly pragmatic. Jonathan Wilson, having lived in Buenos Aires, is ideally placed to chart the sport's development in a country that, perhaps more than any other, lives and breathes football, its theories and its myths. Fully revised and updated, this new edition looks at the contrasting evolution of Argentinian football over the last ten years; from the chaos and violence of the abandoned 2018 Copa Libertadores final between River Plate and Boca Juniors to the revitalised national side under manager Lionel Scaloni, which triumphed at the 2019 Copa América and the 2022 World Cup. ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES is the definitive history of a great footballing nation and its many paradoxes.

Download or read book The Double: written by Adrian Russell and published by Mercier Press Ltd. This book was released on 2019-09-06 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest achievement in GAA history finally gets its due: Adrian Russell's The Double is a singular triumph. - Michael Moynihan On 16 September 1990, Cork's footballers ran out on the Croke Park pitch chasing immortality. The Rebel County hurlers, watching on from the Hogan Stand in suits, had won an unlikely All-Ireland a fortnight earlier; their thrilling final victory over Galway capped a hugely fun come-from-nowhere season. Now, if Billy Morgan's footballers could overcome their rivals in Meath, they'd secure sporting history for the county; a Senior All-Ireland double. After hitting a historically low ebb the previous year, the hurlers arrived with a bang led by a hurling fanatic priest. Fr Michael O'Brien built his by plucking players from relative obscurity, coaxing old stars back into action and trusting young guns to make a name for themselves. Billy Morgan's footballers, meanwhile, were a tight-knit, well-travelled side by the summer of 1990. A cast of strong characters, including Larry Tompkins, Niall Cahalane and Dave Barry, who trained hard and partied just as hard, they ended Kerry football's hopes, before running into the Meath machine. Cork were defending champions but questions remained: could they back it up when the pressure was piled on by the hurlers' success? In a long summer that saw the nation celebrate Ireland's Italia '90 success, Cork made its own sporting history. The Double is the story of how they pulled it off.

Download or read book Cora Staunton written by Eimear Ryan and published by The O'Brien Press Ltd. This book was released on 2019-08-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cora Staunton is an elite sportswoman: winner of four All-Irelands, 11 All-Stars and five Club All-Irelands. She is a trailblazer in the Australian Football League, and a hero in her native Mayo for her gaelic football skills. But it's been a long and eventful road for Cora. When she was young, she was small for her age, and had to prove herself at every level: to the boys in her club, to the Mayo selectors who took a chance on her as a teenager, but most importantly to herself. From Croke Park to the stadiums of Sydney, Cora has proved herself to be a master of the game. This is the story of how a young football-mad girl became a living legend. A story of female empowerment for younger readers.
Book Synopsis Angels with Dirty Faces by : Jonathan Wilson
Download or read book Angels with Dirty Faces written by Jonathan Wilson and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Masterful, Definitive History of Argentinian Soccer Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, Alfredo Di St'fano: in every generation Argentina has uncovered a uniquely brilliant soccer talent. Perhaps it's because the country lives and breathes the game, its theories, and its myths. Argentina's rich, volatile history -- by turns sublime and ruthlessly pragmatic -- is mirrored in the style and swagger of its national and club sides. In Angels with Dirty Faces, Jonathan Wilson chronicles the operatic drama of Argentinian soccer: the appropriation of the British game, the golden age of la nuestra, the exuberant style of playing that developed as Juan Perón led the country into isolation; a hardening into the brutal methods of anti-fútbol; the fusing of beauty and efficacy under César Luis Menotti, and the emergence of all-time greats. Praise for Inverting the Pyramid "Here, for the first time in decades, is a top-notch soccer book on how soccer is actually played on the field." -- Simon Kuper "An outstanding work. . . . The soccer book of the decade." -- Sunday Business Post
