Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 28, 1896, baseball fans traveled in horse-drawn buggies to watch the Detroit Tigers play their first baseball game at the site on the corner of Michigan and Trumbull Avenues. Starting out as Bennett Park, a wooden facility with trees growing in the outfield, Tiger Stadium has played a central role in the lives of millions of Detroiters and their families for more than a century. During the last century, millions of fans have come to Michigan and Trumbull to watch the Tigers' 7,800 home games, as well as to attend numerous other sporting, social, and civic events, including high school, collegiate, and professional football games, prep and Negro league baseball contests, political rallies, concerts, and boxing and soccer matches. A companion to the narrative history, almost two hundred rare photographs capture the spirit of 140 years of baseball in Detroit. A Place for Summer furnishes a sense of the relationship between the community, its teams, and the various fields, parks, and stadiums that have served as common ground for generations of Detroiters.

Download or read book Tiger written by Steve Helling and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born to a father who described him as the “chosen one” and a mother who called him the “universal child,” Tiger Woods was groomed for the fame and influence that his parents believed was his destiny. At age twenty, he made his debut in a Nike commercial. “Hello, world,” he said. “Are you ready for me?” The world was ready. For the next thirteen years, Tiger nearly lived up to his parents' outsized expectations. He conquered the world of golf, settled down with a beautiful Swedish model, and started a family. His net worth approached one billion dollars. Everything was going according to plan—until the scandal hit. Steve Helling has long covered Tiger Woods's career, and here he draws on intimate sources— many speaking out for the first time—to create a never-before-seen portrait of the golfer.
Book Synopsis Riding the Tiger by : John Seidensticker

Lavishly illustrated in full colour, it is written by leading conservationists working throughout Asia.

Book Synopsis The iPINIONS Journal by : Anthony Livingston Hall
Download or read book The iPINIONS Journal written by Anthony Livingston Hall and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ANTHONY L. HALL takes aim at the global events of 2013 with a unique and refreshing perspective. Here are some of the topics he addresses: Public outrage over NSA spying “There’s no rationalizing their outrage over the NSA monitoring their promiscuous and indiscriminate footprints (online and via telephone). For, evidently, these nincompoops think it’s okay for Google, Amazon, Yahoo, Facebook, and others to spy on them to sell them stuff, but not okay for the NSA to do so to keep them safe.” National praise NBA player Jason Collins got for coming out “His courageous stand is somewhat undermined by the fact that he waited to take it on his way out of the league.” Women who’d rather pose nude than be caught without makeup “Who would’ve thought the liberation inherent in the sexual revolution and feminist movement would devolve into a self-abnegating farce where women themselves consider it a ‘brave decision’ to go out in public without makeup?” Mediterranean Sea becoming a graveyard for Africans migrants “I just hope the damning irony is not lost on any proud African that, 50 years after decolonization, hundreds of Africans (men, women, and children) are risking their lives, practically every day, to subjugate themselves to the paternal mercies of their former colonial masters in Europe.” Pope rebuking church for neglecting poor “Nothing indicates how far mainstream Christians have backslidden quite like the pope’s good old-fashioned religion being hailed as revolutionary.” World paying tribute to Nelson Mandela “As you see the most powerful people in the world falling all over themselves to sing Mandela’s praises in the coming days, bear in mind that the people Mandela himself loved and admired most (outside of family members) are old comrades—most of whom you will never see on TV or social media.”

Download or read book Reading Diversity through Canadian Picture Books written by Ingrid Johnston and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the value of picture books in educating a diverse society? This collection of original essays explores how preservice teachers from faculties of education across Canada engage with issues of diversity and national identity as represented in children’s picture books. Based on research drawn from education courses and student teaching experiences, the book illustrates new and culturally relevant approaches to curricula that meet the needs of increasingly diverse student bodies. The volume focuses on picture books as a central body of texts, drawing on recent reading theory and exploring the implications of bringing the works into school classrooms. Together, the essays offer a unique cross-Canada perspective on how picture books can help students and teachers explore identities, uncover personal and national histories, and locate a sense of place.
Download or read book Stretch written by James Brook and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a myriad of different leadership models and approaches, many of which are highly descriptive about the type of personality and qualities you need in order to be an effective leader.However, recent research shows that successful leaders don’t achieve success in the same way. They have unique strengths, skills and qualities that they draw on to achieve their results. What they do have in common is a true understanding of and an ability to leverage their ‘leadership edge’ – their unique strengths, abilities and skills – to influence and inspire others to achieve extraordinary results.Effective leadership is also about ‘positive stretch’ – stretching yourself and your team to push the boundaries and achieve the upper range of your collective strengths and capabilities. This is particularly relevant in today’s uncertain and competitive environment and markets, where organisations – private, public and voluntary – are all being challenged to do more with less, work smarter and optimise discretionary effort, ideas and morale of their workforce.Stretch is written as a fable and follows the journey of a leader with a deficit – or weakness-oriented – mindset, gaining insight and experience about how to lead more effectively through stretching and optimising his own strengths, as well as the strengths of the workforce, to achieve outstanding results. The book’s practical advice and theories are channelled through an accessible work of fiction, rather than an academic text, making the book relevant to a wide audience. Stretch will particularly appeal to business leaders and managers interested in leadership.
