Download or read book Not Out written by Dirk McLean and published by Lorimer. This book was released on 2012-09-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Dexter's parents' death, he's been living with his aunt in her Scarborough apartment. Even though it's been two years, Dexter is still struggling to control his anger and so far the best way for him to do this is through sports. Then one day he snaps and attacks the pitcher during a baseball game, and Dex suddenly finds himself off the team. His aunt gives him two options: find another sports team, or go back to trombone lessons. But no other coach seems willing to give Dexter and his now-legendary temper a chance . . . Dexter's best friend, Atul, suggests that he try out for the school's cricket squad, but Dexter's not so sure. Despite his Carribean heritage, he knows almost nothing about cricket, and thinks it's a wimpy sport anyway. But Dex's batting skills make him a shoo-in, and to his surprise, he even starts to enjoy himself -- until the squad captain, jealous of Dex's natural skill, makes his life even more difficult than before.
Download or read book Not Out! written by Desh Gaurav Sekhi and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronicling the Indian Premier League (IPL), India’s first sports league and the most controversial ever, this book explores the intricacies of the business and the acceptability of the IPL to take a closer look at the various scams that have plagued it. It is a blow-by-blow description of the highs, lows, and future of the IPL that has, possibly, redefined the way the rest of the world perceives India. It analyses what the league got right and what it has got wrong and why. And, what the IPL and its owner/promoter—the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)—could have done to sell the sport and build on the popularity of cricket in India, but didn’t. Analysing the spot-fixing scandal, the conflict of interest controversy, the specific issues concerning the teams, the complicated interplay between the BCCI and the IPL, this thought-provoking work brings to light many untold stories of cricket in India.
Download or read book Cooper Not Out written by Justin Smith and published by Penguin Group Australia. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I’m calling it...this is THE book of summer.' GOOD READS In the Australian summer of 1984, in the small country town of Penguin Hill, Sergeant Roy Cooper is making a name for himself. He’s been batting for his local cricket club for decades — and he’s a statistical miracle. He’s overweight, he makes very few runs, he’s not pretty to watch, but he’s never been dismissed. When local schoolgirl Cassie Midwinter discovers this feat, she decides to take the matter further. The remarkable story finds its way into the hands of Donna Garrett, a female sports columnist who’s forced to write under a male pseudonym to be taken seriously. That summer, the West Indies are thrashing Australia, and the Australian people’s love of cricket has never been lower. But Donna’s columns on Roy Cooper capture the imagination of a nation, and soon there’s pressure to select him for the national team. This would see him playing at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, carrying the spirit of every small country town in Australia along with him. Could such a miracle actually happen? This is sport, after all, and who doesn’t love a good story? COOPER NOT OUT is a funny, heart-warming novel set within real events. It is a moving and highly original tale about friendship and belief, and the joy of discovering your greatest potential. 'Cooper Not Out is the story Australia needs right now. This beautifully written book highlights life's simple pleasures, like a game of country cricket, but its emotional complexity is what makes it really sing. Justin Smith deftly handles issues of class, pride, gender, machismo, and social norms around sexuality. Frankly, it's a ripping read that will make your heart swell. Roy Cooper is a hero for our times.' Tracey Spicer 'An uplifting, inspiring, fun story, to make our hearts sing.' Canberra Times ‘I am gobsmacked. I love cricket. I love stories. I love books so I have just won the trifecta! Think The Castle, think Phar Lap, think Rocky all rolled into one. I laughed, I cried, I couldn’t put it down. This beautifully written tale has everything – it’s funny, heartwarming, nostalgic and most importantly manages to brilliantly create an atmosphere of anticipation that keeps you coming back for more. I’d give it 6 stars if I could!’ Better Reading

Book Synopsis Out of Exile, not out of Babylon by : Volker Glissmann
Download or read book Out of Exile, not out of Babylon written by Volker Glissmann and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2019-03-21 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exile and the disruptioon of the exilic period are prominent features in scholarly reconstructions of what influenced the shaping of biblical books and the development of theological thinking. The Babylonian golah community, as an exilic community, is credited by a growing number of scholars with influencing large parts of the Hebrew Bible. This study addresses the question whether the redactions show signs of an exilic mindset (first generation exiles) or are better understood as a reflection of a diaspora mindset (second/third and subsequent generations). This study also reviews all known archaeological diaspora findings from Mesopotamia in the pre-Hellenistic period (aided by insights from Elephantine) in order to build an as comprehensive as possible picture of Jewish diaspora life in Mesopotamia.
Book Synopsis Down (But Not Out) in Beijing and Shanghai by : Kelsey Cole
Download or read book Down (But Not Out) in Beijing and Shanghai written by Kelsey Cole and published by New Generation Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have for many years, like many people, harboured the ambition to write a book. For me the glass is always half full and with the experiences I have been through I finally plucked up the courage to put pen to paper. This book was written partly out of the desire to share these experiences and partly to bring a smile to the faces of the readers who may or may not have had similar experiences. It was built around a lessons learnt process of what I describe as a "e;perfect storm"e; in terms of what could go wrong when naively getting into something you are just not prepared for. It is far from being aimed at business people as day to day life is relevant to the visitor and the business person alike. Whilst this book is written about experiences in China there is a much deeper message out there of the importance of culture and business naivety and I am sure similar experiences will be relevant for others in any part of the world. China is not a unique place to do business and live, however it does come with cultural differences that many in the West have no ability to comprehend, nor the desire to. I hope you enjoy and finish this book with a smile on your face and for all of you on a long haul flight or journey, hopefully a lot closer to your destination.
Book Synopsis I Was Knocked down but Not Out! How My Faith Got Me Through!!! by : Derek G. Matthews
Download or read book I Was Knocked down but Not Out! How My Faith Got Me Through!!! written by Derek G. Matthews and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intent of this book is to serve three goals. The first being to act as an opportunity for the world to see Mr. Matthews as a man who has lived a full life that has had great experiences, adventure, and opportunities while also allowing the readers to understand how having faith through life's storms is critical. If only a single reader can walk away with a better understanding that God will never put more on us than we can bear, then the purpose of the book was met. The second goal was to let others know that the rules of the game of life change upon whom the rules best serve, and no matter what, you must be accountable for your actions and be prepared to handle the consequences of your actions. While others may conspire to bring you down, you have the ability to make decisions to not allow them to do so. The last goal was to have true reconciliation by telling my story to ensure that those only knew my name would now know my story, and I'm sure that by now, most of them would see they would have quit long ago had they walked in my shoes for just a short time.

Book excerpt: Cigarette Smoking, Alcohol Drinking & Selfless Loving cause intoxication to the Heart—isn’t it sounding familiar, yet new? Why are people addicted to smoking and drinking, despite the caution-sign of “causes cancer and kills”? Looking from their perspective, that caution sign might seem negligible because they might be experiencing something more painful than “getting killed”, yet they enjoy it! And isn’t that something related to “Heart”? The author will make you experience that ‘rarely recognized yet special feeling’ through the Hearts of Karthik and Seema, which makes you think “Love can cause intoxication yet it is worth enjoying!” It’s a story that started in the early 1990s when mobile phones were not handy, Facebook was still dreaming, and WhatsApp’s dream was not yet born. Love might seem to be “a beautiful Start” of life but when the same Love is seen as a “Destiny”, in pursuit of it, life’s journey becomes memorable! What are you waiting for! Grab your copy and read to know if such memories are worth cherishing.

Download or read book Down But Not Out written by Maurice Mayne and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2014-05-05 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maurice 'Moggy' Mayne was a cricket-loving air gunner in the Second World War, with a pretty girlfriend back home in rural England. His turret was in a Bristol Beaufort and his pilot had to fly with almost suicidal bravery at giant German warships before releasing the torpedo. No wonder Moggy's first pilot cracked up and his second liked to drink. When he was shot down, Moggy miraculously survived – unlike his best friend Stan. Moggy was sent to Stalag Luft VIIIB, an infamous German POW camp near the Polish border, where he was badly treated. Fearing losing his beloved girlfriend Sylvia forever, and risking recapture and execution, he saw the chance to escape alone, thus beginning an epic journey through Nazi-occupied Germany. As the Gestapo shot other escaped British servicemen, Moggy Mayne came agonisingly close to lasting freedom. Instead, as the war neared its end, he had to face the horrors of the 'long march' west – and he felt his life slipping away. Would he ever see his Sylvia again?

Book Synopsis Down, but Not Out by : Dipak Sarmah, IFS (Retd.)
Download or read book Down, but Not Out written by Dipak Sarmah, IFS (Retd.) and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-03-19 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blessed with extensive tracts of natural forest harboring the sandal tree (Santalum album L.), the Indian state of Karnataka was a leading producer of sandalwood, the most valuable product of the tropical forest. However, due to rampant smuggling during the last three-four decades, Karnataka’s sandalwood production slipped to abysmally low levels, with hardly any mature sandal tree being left in the forests. What, however, is providential about the sandal is its resilience to fight for survival in the face of hostile situations. Because of this resilience, sandal has been able not only to survive in areas where it occurred naturally but also to surface in areas where it was not known to have existed in the past. This extraordinary ability of sandal to survive, adjust and propagate against heavy odds provides a beacon of hope that it is still possible to restore the lost glory of sandal in Karnataka’s forests. The book, ‘Down, but Not Out – Sandal in Karnataka’, attempts at sharing some information about the extensive sandal-bearing forests that existed throughout the length and breadth of Karnataka and how they responded to management interventions during the past two hundred years. It also dwells upon the challenges associated with the management of sandal in the context of its rapidly dwindling population and suggests ways and means to re-establish and replenish its depleted stock, ensuring that the new crop of sandal does not face the same fate as the old crop did in the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Down But Not Out: Finding the Strength and Courage to Come Back By: Cameron Triplett Tough times hit us all. When they hit, how do we handle them? Down But Not Out: Finding the Strength and Courage to Come Back is the inspirational true story of Indy wrestler Cameron Valentine (better known to his friends and family as Cameron Triplett) and his miraculous recovery from a broken neck after a match gone wrong. A truly remarkable, faithful man, Cameron explains it best: I can honestly say that I don’t believe in luck. Luck is for Leprechauns. Now, I know that I’m about the same height as one (I stand in at a whoppin’ 5’ 6” tall), but I’m white… not green. So, I can’t tell you that I’m lucky, but I can tell you that I’m very blessed. God has been so good to me, and it’s my sincere prayer that this book portrays just that… HIS GOODNESS! This is a story of hope and encouragement. My neck (C3 and C4) was broken in the ring during a match with Scott Steiner, and it should’ve killed me instantly… at the very least, it should’ve left me paralyzed from the neck down. But my God had other plans. To my readers: I pray you find this book helpful in some way. God bless you! And so, with that in mind, sit back in your favorite chair and read Down But Not Out: Finding the Strength and Courage to Come Back, and be encouraged, inspired, and motivated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longevity along with wellness is a process of moving towards a higher equilibrium of physical, mental and emotional well-being to lead a long and fulfilled life, while preventing disease. This book explains the principles that govern each type of well-being: physical, nutritional and emotional-mental, and shares tips on how we can engage each principle to live longer. Finally, and critically, it explains the role stress plays in undermining the wellness equilibrium, and what we can do to heal from stress and prevent its accumulation from hampering our life's journey. While ageing and death are inevitable consequences of being alive, there are behavioural practices that can slow down the ageing process while keeping disease at bay. The book acknowledges that to be fully present in our lives and enjoy it without suffering, we need to be proactive and do the groundwork to prevent illnesses before they occur. It shares evidence-based practices-Ayurveda, yoga and Western medicine-that promote longevity, while keeping our bodies healthy and our minds alert.
