Book Synopsis The Colonel and Hug by : Steve Steinberg
Download or read book The Colonel and Hug written by Steve Steinberg and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the team’s inception in 1903, the New York Yankees were a floundering group that played as second-class citizens to the New York Giants. With four winning seasons to date, the team was purchased in 1915 by Jacob Ruppert and his partner, Cap “Til” Huston. Three years later, when Ruppert hired Miller Huggins as manager, the unlikely partnership of the two figures began, one that set into motion the Yankees’ run as the dominant baseball franchise of the 1920s and the rest of the twentieth century, capturing six American League pennants with Huggins at the helm and four more during Ruppert’s lifetime. The Yankees’ success was driven by Ruppert’s executive style and enduring financial commitment, combined with Huggins’s philosophy of continual improvement and personnel development. While Ruppert and Huggins had more than a little help from one of baseball’s greats, Babe Ruth, their close relationship has been overlooked in the Yankees’ rise to dominance. Though both were small of stature, the two men nonetheless became giants of the game with unassailable mutual trust and loyalty. The Colonel and Hug tells the story of how these two men transformed the Yankees. It also tells the larger story about baseball primarily in the tumultuous period from 1918 to 1929—with the end of the Deadball Era and the rise of the Lively Ball Era, a gambling scandal, and the collapse of baseball’s governing structure—and the significant role the Yankees played in it all. While the hitting of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig won many games for New York, Ruppert and Huggins institutionalized winning for the Yankees.

Book Synopsis Jerusalem Commands by : Michael Moorcock
Download or read book Jerusalem Commands written by Michael Moorcock and published by PM Press. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ”I will admit I was lured into temptation during the twenties and thirties, and I blame no one for what happened then, least of all myself.” Unmistakably, this is the voice of Colonel Pyat, addict, inventor, and bizarre Everyman for the twentieth century. In Jerusalem Commands, the third of the Pyat quartet, our hero schemes and fantasises his way from New York to Hollywood, from Cairo to Marrakech, from cult success to the utter limits of sexual degradation, leaving a trail of mechanical and human wreckage in his wake as he crashes towards an inevitable appointment with the worst nightmare this century has to offer. It is Michael Moorcock’s extraordinary achievement to convert the life of Maxim Pyatnitski into epic and often hilariously comic adventure. Sustained by his dreams and profligate inventions, his determination to turn his back on the realities of his own origins, Pyat runs from crisis to crisis, every ruse a further link in a vast chain of deceit, suppression, betrayal. Yet, in his deranged self-deception, his monumentally distorted vision, this thoroughly unreliable narrator becomes a lens for focusing, through the dimensions of wild farce and chilling terror, on an uneasy brand of truth.
Download or read book Exit the Colonel written by Ethan Chorin and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Exit the Colonel, Ethan Chorin, a longtime Middle East scholar and one of the first American diplomats posted to Libya after the lifting of international sanctions, goes well beyond recent reporting on the Arab Spring to link the Libyan uprising to a flawed reform process, egregious human rights abuses, regional disparities, and inconsistent stories spun by Libya and the West to justify the Gaddafi regime's "rehabilitation." Exit the Colonel is based upon extensive interviews with senior US, EU, and Libyan officials, and with rebels and loyalists; a deep reading of local and international media; and significant on-the-ground experience pre- and post-revolution. The book provides rare and often startling glimpses into the strategies and machinations that brought Gaddafi in from the cold, while encouraging ordinary Libyans to "break the barrier of fear." Chorin also assesses the possibilities and perils for Libya going forward, politically and economically.

Book excerpt: The theme was inspired by reality and perceived reality as well as the events I went through and experienced. The heroine of the book is Ren, an Eastern-European woman in her thirties, who lives alone with her daughter. She has been looking for answers in all her life. She has always felt herself an outsider, which the people around her also made her feel. She has never found her place, she has had the gut feeling that she does not belong to this world. Lots of people consider her a lunatic, so they avoid her or cut off all contact with her. She has been tortured by dreams that happened in previous ages hundreds of years ago. As he grows up, they become more and more realistic, which provoke more and more intense feelings in her. Having grown up as an orphan, she does not know about her origins, she knows nothing about her past. Her doubts culminate when her daughter reaches the age of ten, because only then does Ren realize that her daughter is carrying similar burdens. Both of their dreams are about the same thing but from a different perspective. They are involved as different characters. They experience each dream as if it had happened to them earlier, which makes it more and more difficult for them to separate from reality. Ren's senses become stronger, however, she has no idea how her percieved reality will form a new shape soon. She has the gut feeling that something fateful is about to happen to them, which she cannot prevent. In the meantime, at a faraway place in the universe, Planet Nibiru is struggling with serious problems. As a result, it has to send a reconnaissance team. The ruler of Planet Nibiru is dying, without a successor, reconnoitrers have to seek a possible Chosen One, who might be capable of filling the ruler's position. After several years of search, they detect an increasing signal, which comes from Earth, and which used to characterize the royal family. The fate of their lives and their future are in Ren's and her daughter's hand, as they soon realize that they both possess the abilities of the Chosen One and also how all this could have happened. The lives of Ren and her daughter suddenly change 180 degrees, when the reconnoitrers of Nibiru, who have never been seen before, appear on the Earth to take them to their Planet. Unfortunately, the mission does not go smoothly, because the Russian and the American Armies also detected the aliens arrival, and they want to know at any cost, why the aliens came to the Earth. The Pentagon sends a military plane to Hungary, Eastern-Europe, where they last detected the aliens presence. Scientists also participate in the mission, but their main goal is to get what the aliens came for. Ren is assisted by three scientists, who are alien-researchers, but this is not enough to leave the earth. Soon after leaving the earth, they are attacked by the mercenaries of Nibirus ancient enemy, therefore Ren and the reconnoitrers of Nibiru are bound to stay on the Earth. In order to repair the spaceshuttle, they have to penetrate into two secret terrestrial bases, which are in Antarctica and New-Mexico. Moreover, these bases are not human-controlled. They have to face an exciting and perilous journey, however, in the meantime, a several thousand years old secret is revealed. During their journey Ren and her daughter finally believe that they have a place in the world, they can get the answer to the questions where they are from, where they are going and what their mission is.
