Book excerpt: Are top scorers really the most valuable players? Are games decided in the final few minutes? Does the team with the best player usually win?Thinking Basketball challenges a number of common beliefs about the game by taking a deep dive into the patterns and history of the NBA. Explore how certain myths arose while using our own cognition as a window into the game's popular narratives. New basketball concepts are introduced, such as power plays, portability and why the best player shouldn't always shoot. Discover how the box score can be misleading, why "closers" are overrated and how the outcome of a game fundamentally alters our memory. Behavioral economics, traffic paradoxes and other metaphors highlight this thought-provoking insight into the NBA and our own thinking. A must-read for any basketball fan -- you'll never view the sport, and maybe the world, the same again.

Book Synopsis Fair Play: How LGBT Athletes Are Claiming Their Rightful Place in Sports by : Cyd Zeigler
Download or read book Fair Play: How LGBT Athletes Are Claiming Their Rightful Place in Sports written by Cyd Zeigler and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This important and accessible book about the evolving treatment of LGBTQ athletes in organized sports should be required reading for anyone involved in the playing, coaching, and administration of organized sports. Zeigler, an expert in LGBTQ athletics and cofounder of the online magazine Outsports, revisits key moments that have shaped sports participation for openly LGBTQ athletes...The author debunks the myth that having a nonstraight athlete on a team's roster is a 'distraction' and shares positive stories of younger athletes at high school and college levels who have come out to coaches, teammates, and family members. Zeigler argues that the dominant emotion holding back LGBTQ athletes is fear, reminding them and everyone else that courage is contagious." --Publishers Weekly "Outsports.com founder Zeigler gives an account of the great strides LGBTQ athletes have made in the sports world over the last 15 years...Lively and provocative, the book not only offers a much-needed perspective on what until recently has been one of the last bastions of heterosexism. It is also significant for its conscious consideration of how current developments will impact LGBTQ athletes of tomorrow. An informative, necessary work." --Kirkus Reviews "Zeigler is the cofounder of the online magazine Outsports, and he is a vocal and respected advocate for the LGBT sports community. Here he pens a series of essays about athletes who have come out, noting the misguided homophobia in the locker-room culture of sports, and the important role that straight athletes can play in the gay movement...Well researched, timely, and provocative, Zeigler's book provides readers with candid personal accounts of the struggles and triumphs of LGBT athletes across a wide spectrum of the sports world." --Booklist "Zeigler candidly examines the issues involved in gay athletes' coming-out processes, and the support (or, often, lack thereof) they receive from teammates, coaches, and their sports. front offices...Zeigler gives due credit where it's deserved, while sharply analyzing the deep undercurrents of squeamishness and hesitation that still stymie team sports' full acceptance of their LGBT participants...Cyd Zeigler is here to remind us that there's still much work to be done." --ALA's Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Round Table "Fair Play, published in conjunction with Akashic Books, tells the story of how sports are transforming for LGBTQ athletes, and specifically focuses on the time period following the turn of the 21st century. Zeigler's book covers treatment of LGBTQ athletes, touching on bullying and hazing that has surrounded, and continues to surround, LGBTQ athletes, specifically in high school and college, while weaving in stories of LGBT athletes and allies such as Michael Irvin, Fallon Fox, and Michael Sam, among others." --GLAAD The latest from Akashic's Edge of Sports imprint. When Cyd Zeigler started writing about LGBT sports issues in 1999, no one wanted to talk about them. Today, this is a central conversation in American society that reverberates throughout the sports world and beyond. In Fair Play, Zeigler tells the story of how sports have transformed for LGBT athletes, diving into key moments and issues that have shaped sports for LGBT people today. He shares intimate behind-the-scenes details about various athletes and stories--including NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin, transgender MMA fighter Fallon Fox, and NFL hopeful Michael Sam, among others--along with contextual insights about elite sports, including the overhyped "distraction" myth surrounding gay athletes. Always the forward-thinker, Zeigler maps out the necessary steps to complete sports' transformation and fully open athletics to LGBT people.

Download or read book Much Madness written by John R. Riggs and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-03-16 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: much madness is the eighteenth and final book in the Garth Ryland mystery series, which has taken him from the graves of Navoe Cemetery to the wilds of Mitchells Woods to the cave of Matatomah to the edge of Wamplers pit, and in and out of the arms of some of Oakallas most beautiful, intriguing, and dangerous women. Called an exemplary series hero by Publishers Weekly, Ryland lives and works in the small town of Oakalla, Wisconsin (Lake Woebegone made sinister), where passions run high and secrets go deep and nothing is ever quite as simple as it seems. When Larry Pug Hanson, former basketball star and current small-business owner, suddenly left town without a backward glance, all in Oakalla assumed it was to escape the cloud of scandal then hanging over him. But when his skeleton turns up in the root cellar of Rylands farm on a bright mid-March day ten years later, it raises the question of whether he ever left town at all. Ryland has gone to the farm in the hope that it might provide a suitable home for Abby Airhart and him, following their marriage in July. What he finds, along with Pug Hansons skeleton, is the realization that not only is the farm not suitable, but he doesnt want to live there anyway. Hed rather live in town, exactly where he is now living, but not in the company of both Ruth, his longtime housekeeper and confidant, and Abby. On his way home from the farm, Ryland picks up a tail that continues to shadow him in the days ahead with ever-increasing menace, as Ryland, with Abbys invaluable assistance, first has to identify Pugs skeleton and then determine who, if anyone, killed him and why. He does all this while at the same time trying not to arouse anyones suspicion into the nature of his investigation and while solving his own personal dilemma of where he and Abby are eventually going to live. In this ever-deadly game of cat and mouse against an adversary who is as ruthless as he (or she) is unpredictable, Ryland again dives beneath the surface calm of his beloved Oakalla to reveal an underbelly of violence and deceit that swallows all who swim there, even, and especially, those innocents who put their lives and trust in the wrong hands. However, it is not misguided trust but obstinance that leads Ryland too much into the melee and to the brink of his own death.
