Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In an age dominated by overhyped athletes who are sometimes short on character, JoJo White's story offers a refreshing look back at one athlete's career-a career that was the product of genuine good values. In Make It Count, author Mark C. Bodanza presents a biography of a man who triumphed both on and off the basketball court. White's story is interwoven with ours as a nation. His basketball days were shaped by-and in a few cases, helped shape-events of monumental importance. Race relations, the war in Vietnam, and political tumult across the land punctuated White's years as both a Kansas Jayhawk and Boston Celtic. Bodanza shows how, through his years on the court, the point guard from St. Louis, Missouri, maintained a steady contribution to the game that became his passion while still a child. With each passing game, season, or team that formed a part of his playing days, White stayed true to principles learned before he donned his first high-school uniform. Make It Count narrates a compelling chronicle of a sports career complete with drama, triumphs, and losses, as well as an affirmation that hard work has its reward. In life, as in basketball, JoJo White's approach to each opportunity that a new day presents has always been the same: make it count.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - For centuries, the notion of everlasting life has been referred to as eternity.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Winston Churchill didn't just have a knack for statesmanship: He also had quite an eye for horses. The British politician was seventy-five when he bought his first racehorse, Colonist II, who proved to be one of the most popular and remarkable horses of his era - winning thirteen of twenty-four races and placing in five others. After Churchill's defeat as prime minister, these were much needed victories, and they helped the elder statesman deal with his political failures. Just as importantly, the success led him to buy more horses and sparked a greater interest in the sport among the general public. The rekindling of interest mirrored Churchill's own love affair with horses: One of his earliest known writings is a letter he sent to his mother in May 1882 in which he mentioned his horse, RobRoy, named after the Scottish hero. Whether or not it was one mile or more than two, the French-bred, grey colt proved that he could be just as steadfast and courageous as Churchill himself. Together, Churchill and Colonist II captured the heart of a nation. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Praise for Gaye Walsh and 'That's That' 'Generations of an Irish family cope with decades of personal and political turmoil in Walsh's endearing debut novel.' ' . . . patient and revealing narrative that emanates a spark.' 'Walsh, a poet, has a keen eye for detail most admirably in poignant moments a less insightful author might deem unremarkable.' 'A breezy read from a capable talent.' - Kirkus Reviews Photograph: Russell Metz This is a diverse collection of poems. The initial poems deal with the death of the poet's parents, their early lives together, and the immediate aftermath of sudden death with all the ghostly impressions and shadows such death leaves behind. Some poems dance around an early childhood in rural Ireland in a light way, some not so light, and the darker poems were born from the shadows created by the loss of the poet's father. Such emotions common to all, but expressed here in Walsh's unique voice. I recall that when I was about ten years old, I told my father I was frightened of ghosts. He said it was the living I should be afraid of, not the dead. In my innocence, I did not believe him. Gaye Walsh was raised on a farm in Doneraile, County Cork, Ireland. She now lives in Seattle, Washington. This is her first poetry collection. Back cover photo: Russell Metz.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Durante is old now. His face is permanently subdivided by ravines that seem to radiate from the well publicized extension in its center. But the skills that first drew people to him in a Coney Island saloon in 1910 still work. Durante continues to play Durante, a warm, good, oppressed, not fully lettered man in whom everyone can see a bit of himself. He is a throwback. In a day when entertainment is a prefabricated commodity and we are told performers are the stars before we even know their skills, Durante raucously reminds us of a time when entertainers were fun, genuine, alive. More than Durante's nose relates him to the storied wooden boy Pinocchio. They share the same impish, wondering quality. If you believe in numbers, he should have been a lawyer, maybe an insurance salesman. Because the figures were terrible. It was January 7, 1968 and teams of the National Football League were choosing the college players they wanted to hire. Rocky Bleier was not at the head of anyone's list. As a matter of fact, he wasn't even on most lists. With thousands of athletes pouring out of colleges each year, the pros need some orderly way to rate and eventually pick those few, of the thousands, they would like to add to their rosters. The worst possible rating is 2.5. Above 1.8 the player 'is not capable of playing pro ball.' Bleier was judged from 2.2 to 2.4. Wait, it gets worse. One Bleier observer noted, 'Can't win in the NFL with this kid.' Another, 'I don't think this boy can make a pro club'. The Steelers picked 18 players that year. Bleier, number 18, is the only one still in pro ball.…
