Book excerpt: Pride and Poise: The Oakland Raiders of The American Football League takes a definitive look into the formation and turbulent early history of the Oakland Raiders. Beginning with the hurried scramble to bring professional football to a city that couldn't provide a home for the team only to suffer through three losing seasons a combined 9-33 record with 19 consecutive losses. After plodding through three head coaches and an alarming player turn around before finding a young dynamo who transformed their club from a doormat rumored to move to another city willing to pour more funds into a prolific loser before having ever played in their home city to an immediate, nearly unstoppable winner. Relive the exploits of the Oakland Raiders in a week in, week out chronicle of their first ten seasons. Meet six unique head coaches and the legends who helped to make the transitions caused by age, injuries associated with football seamless and the whirlwind transformation of a young dynamo from coach to commissioner and ultimately to ownership as he built one of the most respected and feared organization in professional sports. Packed with statistics, transactions and forgotten lore, Pride and Poise: The Oakland Raiders of the American Football League is the most complete, accurate and fair account ever produced of the early Raiders, revisiting every game, win, lose or tie as they make the great journey from near oblivion to professional football's elite and its most dominating franchise.

Book Synopsis Dear Neil Armstrong by : James R. Hansen
Download or read book Dear Neil Armstrong written by James R. Hansen and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years between the historic first moon landing by Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969, and his death at age 82 on August 25, 2012, Neil Armstrong received hundreds of thousands of cards and letters from all over the world, congratulating him, praising him, requesting pictures and autographs, and asking him what must have seemed to him to be limitless—and occasionally intrusive—questions. Of course, all the famous astronauts received fan mail, but the sheer volume Armstrong had to deal with for more than four decades after his moon landing was staggering. Today, the preponderance of those letters—some 75,000 of them—are preserved in the archives at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. Dear Neil Armstrong: Letters to the First Man on the Moon publishes a careful sampling of these letters—roughly 400—reflecting the various kinds of correspondence that Armstrong received along with representative samples of his replies. Selected and edited by James R. Hansen, Armstrong’s authorized biographer and author of the New York Times best seller First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong, this collection sheds light on Armstrong’s enduring impact and offers an intimate glimpse into the cultural meanings of human spaceflight. Readers will explore what the thousands of letters to Neil Armstrong meant not only to those who wrote them, but as a snapshot of one of humankind’s greatest achievements in the twentieth century. They will see how societies and cultures projected their own meanings onto one of the world’s great heroes and iconic figures.
Book Synopsis Engagements With The World by : Ron Leifer MD MA
Download or read book Engagements With The World written by Ron Leifer MD MA and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After fi fty years of futile research on mind and behavior, trying to fi nd their causes in the brain, without success, psychiatrists and psychologists are turning their attention to the emotions, also looking for their causes in the brain, also without success. The problem is that there is no generally accepted theory or paradigm for understanding the emotions. William James suggested that such a paradigm must meet two criteria: (1) it must explain each individual emotion (i.e., anxiety, anger, depression, etc.), and (2) it must relate all the emotions to each other. This book presents such a paradigm. It is based on the accepted biological principle that all organisms from the lowest to the highest function in two biological motives, which I call bipolar reactivity. All organisms seek pleasure and/or that which sustains and promotes life, and all organisms seek to avoid pain and/or that which threatens or disables life. Interestingly, this biological principle corresponds to a basic principle of Buddhist psychology that the pain we cause to ourselves and to each other is caused by the Three Poisons: desire, aversion, and ego. Desire and aversion link humans to the great chain of being, and ego distinguishes humans from all other beings and recognizes our unique capacity for symbolic reactivity. I have used this paradigm for fi fty years in my practice of psychotherapy and have found it very useful for understanding my patients' mental and emotional pain and helping them to understand and heal themselves.
Download or read book Maia written by Richard Manichello and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-08-20 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She was electrifying. She possessed astonishing charisma, charm, character, and poise. People would scream, and men withered in the heat of her unspeakable sex appeal as if she were some torrid female rock star. Eager fans threw flowers and gifts to her when she skated. They went absolutely ballistic. Nearly two decades later, she still creates frenzy. She's an international icon now, a planetary celebrity, playing Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and like Cher and Madonna and Sting or Celine, she needs only one name, Maia, on the world's star roster. One in the audience tonight at Caesars tells Maia's story in more detail. He knows the story of her subjugation in the Soviet Sports Gulag, her suffering and callous abuse by KGB watchdogs, and her triumphant rise to fame as a wealthy American superstar. In the time of the Cold War, he and Maia chanced to dream of a shining life in the free world together. She got the life. He was left with the dream. In fall of 1983, Soviet fighter jets have just shot down a commercial 747 carrying 269 passengers and crew over the Sea of Japan. Everyone has perished. KAL 007 is suddenly another international incident, and the US and the USSR are at it again. Eddie Genell, a young sportswriter for Athlete, one of the top monthly magazines in the world, flies into the tense atmosphere of Cold War brinksmanship to get a feature story on the Soviet Union's first female-singles figure skater with a shot at an Olympic medal in the Winter Games. Maia Larisa Ulyanova is a phenom. The incredibly stunning young skater has captured the hearts of three hundred million Russians and holds the Soviet Union's first chance to make Olympic history. World press attention has been riveted also by her extraordinary beauty and drop-dead sex appeal.

Download or read book Selfies written by Craig Detweiler and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selfies are ubiquitous. They can be silly or serious, casual or curated. Within moments, smart phone users can capture their image and post it across multiple social media platforms to a global audience. But do we truly understand the power of image in our image-saturated age? How can we seek God and care for each other in digital spaces? Craig Detweiler, a nationally known writer and speaker and an avid social media user, examines the selfie phenomenon, placing selfies within the long history of self-portraits in art, literature, and photography. He shows how self-portraits change our perspective of ourselves and each other in family dynamics, education, and discipleship. Challenging us to push past unhealthy obsessions with beauty, wealth, and fame, Detweiler helps us to develop a thoughtful, biblical perspective on selfies and social media and to put ourselves in proper relation to God and each other. He also explains the implications of social media for an emerging generation, making this book a useful conversation starter in homes, churches, and classrooms. Each chapter ends with discussion questions and a photo assignment for creating a selfie in response to the chapter.

Book excerpt: Poise: A Warrior's Guide Book Description: Poise: A Warrior's Guide charts a path toward sustained poise, a vibrant, fully alive state of consciousness that allows us to get the most from every moment of life. Poise is a sublime state, sublime because life is at its best when we are self-possessed, self-controlled, assured, in a state of equanimity. Fully poised, we are awake, composed and balanced, free from ego, affectation, fear and embarrassment. Poise is our goal because only in poise do we have access to our full powers. The book highlights how poise brings both pleasure and practical advantage. Poised, we are fully present in our environment, glad to be alive. Poised, we see that this moment is all we need to be happy. Balanced and composed, we are able to draw all that is pleasurable from any situation. Poised, our gratitude is complete, and our hearts are light, no matter what is happening. Poised, we enjoy the pleasure of being in love -- with other people and with our mother earth. Poised, we live in possibility and delight. Poise is the ultimate cool, attractive and sane. Poise brings practical advantages to every situation because poised, we are fully ready to create the best outcomes for others and ourselves. We are able to draw on our considerable personal resources -- physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual -- to capture the full potential of the moment. Poised, we can solve problems better than we can in any other state of consciousness. We hear at our most intuitive level, see with our greatest clarity and use all our senses at their optimal level, so that we can acquiesce to what wants to emerge. The book examines the great costs to us when we lose our poise. Our poise blown, we make mistakes. Our judgment is distorted and we make bad decisions. Without poise, our enjoyment of life is diminished. Worse, our potential evaporates temporarily or even permanently. Failing to sustain our poise, we lose access to our love. Poise reveals what keeps us trapped in a limited life, circling in an eddy, going nowhere. When we lose our poise, a universal pattern of thinking and behavior unfolds. These patterns are deep and difficult to discern, but the reader will learn to see them in the moment and be able to divert them from their usual path. Once we understand this pattern, we can begin to deconstruct our predictable failed responses to our unresolved issues. Rich with examples, the book lays out a clear path toward sustained poise. The reader will learn about letting go of the bad explanations that cause us to lose our poise and learn how to develop good explanations that set us free to flow into every life opportunity. Once we learn how to sustain our poise, our relationships with other people and with our planet will be transformed. This book refers to poised men and women as "warriors" or "warrior travelers," people who pursue breakthroughs in personal awareness. Warrior travelers are impeccable men and women who give their best at all times. In a deeper sense of impeccability, warriors are keenly aware of the short time we have on earth, thus they bring a vibrant appreciation and zest to every moment. Knowing they have no time to waste, warriors come alive now, joyful, unencumbered, humble and alert. By traversing a path of love and avoiding the worn ruts of ordinary human behavior, warrior travelers seek power, a mobilization of personal energy that allows them to witness the full wonder of the world. Because they strive to become the epitome of poise, nothing could be more fortunate than being a poised warrior.
