This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three initials before his surname; public school and ‘varsity’ connections; Middlesex player, then captain; England player, then captain; MCC committee man; Test selector. To the average cricket follower of his time R.W.V. Robins (1906-1968) seemed to be a typical ‘big noise’ at Lord’s. But the detail of his life is far more interesting than that. Born the son of a Post Office clerk in working-class Stafford, his family moved to London when he was fourteen. Walter’s mother talked Highgate School into taking him on as a pupil, where he starred in the school’s cricket and football teams. His cricket reputation, underpinned by energy and commitment, got him into Middlesex sides in the summer he left school. His sporting reputation followed him to Cambridge where he was helped by a scholarship seemingly contrived out of thin air. He rewarded his supporters with sporting rather than academic achievements, and then joined the ranks of Sir Julien Cahn’s cricket-playing employees, fitting in football for the Corinthians and the odd appearance in the League. Marriage yielded a job in insurance underwriting, and allowed him to play regular county cricket. His enthusiastic batting, dynamic fielding, and sharply spun leg-breaks brought him representative-match opportunities and eventually Test games. Committee places followed, and his combative but cheerful manner found him friends, including a regular correspondence with Don Bradman, and exasperated enemies, including Enid Blyton. He led Middlesex in the Brylcreem summer of 1947. Brian Rendell here reports on a man who wanted cricket to be as exciting as football.

Book Synopsis Frank and George Mann: Brewing, Batting and Captaincy by : Brian Rendell
Download or read book Frank and George Mann: Brewing, Batting and Captaincy written by Brian Rendell and published by Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father and Son: Middlesex and England: Beer and Skittles: Fame and Fortune. Between them Frank and George Mann achieved, in varying measure, all these word pairs in the first half of the twentieth century. They both captained Middlesex to the County Championship and led successful England sides on tours to South Africa. Until the takeover frenzy of the 1970s, the family’s highly successful brewery business, based in East London, was a leading player in the social fabric of southern England. Mann’s Brown Ale can still be found on supermarket shelves today. Both served in Britain’s armed forces outside its shores. Both filled middle-order batting positions for county and country; they took catches, often painfully, at mid off; and every so often they sent down a few deliveries to help bring a match to its conclusion. Frank’s mighty hitting emptied beer tents, sometimes to the detriment of sales of his brewery’s products. George’s management skills were brought to bear on the administration of English cricket. Using material from a wide range of sources, Brian Rendell here brings together a story far larger than the 20,000 first-class runs they scored between them.

Book Synopsis The Hyperlinked Society by : Lokman Tsui
Download or read book The Hyperlinked Society written by Lokman Tsui and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2009-12-11 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Links" are among the most basic---and most unexamined---features of online life. Bringing together a prominent array of thinkers from industry and the academy, The Hyperlinked Society addresses a provocative series of questions about the ways in which hyperlinks organize behavior online. How do media producers' considerations of links change the way they approach their work, and how do these considerations in turn affect the ways that audiences consume news and entertainment? What role do economic and political considerations play in information producers' creation of links? How do links shape the size and scope of the public sphere in the digital age? Are hyperlinks "bridging" mechanisms that encourage people to see beyond their personal beliefs to a broader and more diverse world? Or do they simply reinforce existing bonds by encouraging people to ignore social and political perspectives that conflict with their existing interests and beliefs? This pathbreaking collection of essays will be valuable to anyone interested in the now taken for granted connections that structure communication, commerce, and civic discourse in the world of digital media. "This collection provides a broad and deep examination of the social, political, and economic implications of the evolving, web-based media environment. The Hyperlinked Society will be a very useful contribution to the scholarly debate about the role of the internet in modern society, and especially about the interaction between the internet and other media systems in modern society." ---Charles Steinfield, Professor and Chairperson, Department of Telecommunication, Information Studies, and Media, Michigan State University Joseph Turow is Robert Lewis Shayon Professor at the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania.

Download or read book Paradigm Lost written by William G. Spady and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Paradigm Lost, Spady explores the important changes in culture, instruction, school calendars and school agenda that school leaders must make to prepare students for the next millennium despite the fact that the current system of schooling leads to institutional inertia that counters the very changes we most need to make. Spady's big-picture view refutes the wisdom of adhering to a system of schooling—a paradigm—based on a bureaucratic-age culture, industrial-age delivery system, agricultural-age calendar and feudal-age agenda. Spady then explains how school leaders can overcome this inertia by working with staff and community members to adopt a new paradigm of schooling based on a locally developed vision of the future and what students will need to succeed in that future.
