Book excerpt: Fifty-five year-old Hack Stansky is convinced that 2001 will be The Year It Finally Happened for the Springfield Heroes, a baseball team who last won the World Series ninety-nine years ago. Sitting in historic Squiggley Field, euphorically awaiting the start of game seven of the series, Hack waxes nostalgic. He regales his son, Ernie, with the coming to America stories of Carlo Squigglini, the Italian immigrant who makes a fortune in the fast food business and becomes the owner of the Heroes, and his own grandfather, Avrum Stanskovich, who escapes the pogroms of Russia and becomes the first of the four generations of Stanskys who live and die with the Heroes. The championship game begins and the life-long dream of Springfield's long-suffering fans edges closer to reality. The near century long drought appears to be over. But what really matters most? Is it winning the championship, or is it remaining loyal to the team even when they lose?

Book excerpt: From a VICE magazine columnist, “a deeply entertaining—if occasionally horrifying” (Joshua Piven, coauthor of The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook) look at how humanity is likely to weather such happenings as nuclear war, a global internet collapse, antibiotics shortages, and even immortality. If you live on planet Earth you’re probably scared of the future. How could you not be? Some of the world’s most stable democracies are looking pretty shaky. Technology is invading personal relationships and taking over jobs. Relations among the three superpowers—the US, China, and Russia—are growing more complicated and dangerous. A person watching the news has to wonder: is it safe to go out there or not? Taking inspiration from his virally popular VICE column “How Scared Should I Be?,” Mike Pearl games out many of the “could it really happen?” scenarios we’ve all speculated about, assigning a probability rating, and taking us through how it would unfold. He explores what would likely occur in dozens of possible scenarios—among them the final failure of antibiotics, the loss of the world’s marine life, a complete ban on guns in the US, and even contact with extraterrestrial life—and reports back from the future, providing a clear picture of how the world would look, feel, and even smell in each of these instances. For fans of such bestsellers as What If? and The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook, The Day It Finally Happens is about taking future events that we don’t really understand and getting to know them in close detail. Pearl’s “well-researched speculations induce daydreams and nightmares and mark [him] as one of his generation’s most interesting writers” (Alec Ross, New York Times bestselling author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For major league baseball, the decade following Jackie Robinson's 1947 debut was one of slow yet persistent change. Four other black players made their first, brief big-league appearances that year, followed by only two in 1948 and four in 1949. But by the end of 1959, 122 black ballplayers had made it to the big leagues. Like Robinson, their lives were made difficult off the field, and on it they dodged beanballs and spikes. This book brings attention to the accomplishments of this transitional generation of African American players--made up of men like Luscious Luke Easter, Sam "The Jet" Jethroe, and Sad Sam Jones--many of whom spent years in the minors, the Negro leagues, or both before getting their shot. Chapters on each season from 1947 to 1959 incorporate biographical and career profiles for 25 players who stood out during baseball's integration. A final chapter covers the outstanding minor league players who for various reasons never got a real chance to play major league ball. Appendices include a roster of black major leaguers from 1947 through 1959, a list of black-player firsts and statistics on the year-by-year population of black players in the majors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we read old family letters or hear stories about our great-grandparents, they hold our attention in a particular way. Events from long before we were born are about us: they tell us something important about who we are. If there's a story about great-aunt Mildred on the Oregon Trail as a young child, we want to know that story, because it affects who we are today. Commonly we read the Bible as a historical text, making it a source of facts or doctrines: useful information, but perhaps not very personal. Yet the narratives in early chapters of the Bible need to be understood not as ancient history, but as part of the story of our family. Again and again, for example, the people of Israel of later generations were reminded, "Remember that you were slaves in Egypt"--they must understand that the story of the deliverance is not distant history, but their own reality. From the Mists of Eden retells eleven key stories, from Genesis through Joshua, as family stories: Aunt Hagar and Aunt Sarai, Uncle Joshua, and Uncle Red and Uncle Jacob and Uncle Joe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her memoir, Jeannie recalls her childhood years in Hong Kong and how it shaped her view as a mom, wife, and professional in America in her later years. As she grew up and became a professional, she realized that she was often seen as a "minority" because of her ethnicity and gender by Americans. Despite having laws to prohibit prejudice and discrimination, they still exist. Jeannie believes the only way to eradicate them is at the heart level. She shares vulnerably about her journey balancing family, children, work, and being a wife. She applies her knowledge of Chinese tradition and Christian values to her non-profit organization, working toward a prejudice-free and discrimination-free next generation. Jeannie strives to be an agent of change in race relations. She is helping many young Asian Americans find their ethnic identity in this polarized climate through their initiative, "Asian American Connections".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger Dale Loring is a genuine baby boomer who finds his existence in the rapidly-changing world rather perplexing. In his latest book, he once again offers a collection of lighthearted essays about his dilemmas from the perspective of his current "if-they-don't-have-a-senior-discount, I'm-not-going-there" age. Realizing that the aging process evolved in a way that his adolescent mind never envisioned, Loring now finds that his views on life changes are disturbingly similar to the views of the old people of his youth, people he frequently characterized as old fogies. His essays highlight his humorous take on life that include opinions about issues such as cell phone upgrades; a man's attention span while operating a television remote; seasonal purse shopping; the differing conversation patterns of men and women; the three hardest part-time jobs in America; the crazy world of politics where preaching to the choir dominates all campaigns; and, of course, the trauma of buying toothpaste.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the Woman of My Dreams exist? This is the question that I am asking the universe as I write my second book. I doubted the existence of the woman of my dreams when I started to write my second book. I doubted her existence because of how cruel the rest of the world could be to someone with social anxiety. I thought my years of being bullied were over before the writing of my second book. Then the bullying started all over again after I was somehow able to find the courage to let one of my angels know how I felt about her. This vilification led me into another pit of darkness. It had me believing it was wrong to love beautiful women. Yet my love for beautiful women was also the only thing to keep me alive.

Book excerpt: This book provides guidance to researchers about how to develop interview skills that align with their theoretical assumptions. Connecting "theory" and "method" can be challenging for novice researchers. Interviewing: A Guide to Theory and Practice draws from, and extends, the author′s earlier 2010 book, and focuses on three interrelated issues, how researchers: theorize research interviews; examine their subject positions in relation to projects and participants; and explore the details of interview interaction to inform practice. By developing these understandings of qualitative interview practice, Kathryn Roulston shows how researchers can design and conduct quality research projects that draw on a wide range of interview practices to provide audience members and communities with significant findings concerning social problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Quarter-Life Crisis affects many people in their twenties and early-thirties. Whether it's the apparent inability to find a career that we love; going from one failed relationship to another; feeling that we as individuals are irrelevant in the world; or having a general sense that life itself is meaningless, many of us are spending our prime years in doubt, anxiety, and fear that we will never fulfill our dreams. But contained within the seed of every "crisis" is an "opportunity" to make things better. With an emphasis on solutions rather than problems, optimism over empty complaining, QLO offers you the chance to make the most of your prime, to take control of your destiny while still young enough to reap the benefits.

Book excerpt: There’s some nasty sibling rivalry in the family assassination business . . . For Remo, Sinanju’s Holiest tradition is “cash up front” But as his long road to the rank of Reigning Master of the venerable house of assassins nears its end, the Time of Succession ritual begins. For the enforcement arm of CURE, this means making his way around the globe, killing the best assassins money can buy – and proving to kings and presidents alike that Sinanju is the primo strategic weapon around. For a reasonable fee, of course. But there is a storm cloud on the horizon of Chiun’s retirement and Remo’s promotion: a dark nemesis has been reborn from the fires of evil and has unleashed his plot for vengeance. He starts by looting Chiun’s treasure-filled basement in Sinanju. But he won’t stop until he has fulfilled a prophecy of doom that even Chiun may not be able to thwart – the death of the Destroyer. Breathlessly action-packed and boasting a winning combination of thrills, humour and mysticism, the Destroyer is one of the bestselling series of all time.
