Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Jerry was recruited by Gonzaga University during the summer of 1951. His thirty-year run as a basketball player, coach, and diversified educator in Washington State began in September of that year. The new coach, Hank Anderson, led the team on a long march to becoming the great nationally recognized basketball program that exists at Gonzaga University today. Jerry's memoirs show his enormous appreciation for Gonzaga University and his pride in being a part of that beginning greatness. Jerry started as a freshman on the first Anderson team. During four years of competition, he amassed an incredible 1,670 rebounds. Sixty years later, that record still stands! Unbelievably, the next-closest player is 760 behind. This is a record that might never be broken! He is still in the top ten in scoring and a member of the over-forty-point club. At one time, he held all the scoring records. His standing jump was 11'1''. For those who don't know, that's 13 inches above the rim. At 6'4'', he jumped center for Gonzaga in over one hundred games and controlled 90 percent of them! The many great players who came later, including John Stockton and Frank Burgess, chipped away at his early records. Describing the why, when, where, and how of his life's chronicle fulfills a family need. Additionally, the players, students, and professionals Jerry met along his journey will be pleased to know more about his voyage. During an evening visit to his son-in-law's home, Jerry discovered an inspirational force that set in motion an autobiographical explication dedicated to his family. Todd Harrison, Jerry's son-in-law, showed him a brief composition written by Todd's grandfather that described his life and the settling of a Mormon family in early Utah. The manuscript is cherished by Todd and his family because it recounts the hardships, experiences, and successes of their ancestor. It became obvious to Jerry that such a composition would be an ideal way to share parts of his boyhood and professional life more intimately with family. For whatever reasons, Jerry felt that he had not been able to fully share his life experiences with his family. He has stated, 'I just didn't talk much to the kids about other experiences in my life while they were growing up.' When Jerry began composing this book, the missed stories flowed effortlessly from his memory. In this text, he recounts personal stories about the conflicts, hardships, and successes he experienced while growing up and describes how he overcame a lifelong debilitating handicap. With sincerity and subtle humor, he recounts boyhood lessons learned and the gripping stories of peers known, players coached, professionals met, and experiences lived.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Her presence in his life was unexpected-she a landlord, he a tenant; she a vibrant Russian-born scientist, he a journalism professor near retirement. He had come to Durham on a mission to save himself at the world-famous Duke Diet and Fitness Center. She was a brilliant neuroscientist breaking new ground in the labs at Duke on the link between short-term memory and schizophrenia. She was inaccessible-a demanding lab schedule, a deep commitment to her Orthodox faith, emotionally isolated by the untimely death of her fiancé ten years previous. Her only escape was to lose herself in Russian literature, especially poetry. He sensed she cared when she emerged from her private reading nook upstairs, to spend more time reading on the adjacent couch, as he watched his nightly TV shows.

And so began the flow of poems until one day he jokingly asked her, 'If I write you one hundred poems, will you marry me ' Her affirmative answer caught him off guard. Now all can share the language of courtship inspired by his muse.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Suicide now is the eighth cause of death in the United States, yet it is discussed in hushed whispers or not at all. SILENCE is based, in part, on a true story about a wealthy, respected, successful family; what many of us would label the 'perfect' family. On first blush, it appears to be a story about reversal of fortunes, but on deeper analysis it is about self-destructive personalities that lead to suicide. SUICIDE gives the viewing audience the chance to recognize the depths of these tragedies on small doses until they can get to the point of saying, 'Suicide is not a personal tragedy but a family watershed.' The guilt left behind immobilizes even the most stable families and leaves lifetime emotional scars. Suicide can be addressed when families grasp the warning signs; rage, hopelessness, loss of control and important feelings of coping with life. SILENCE ends by giving people a philosophy that is believed to be the germ of heading off suicide- 'WE all have time to understand and know each other, but we don't.'.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A compendium of seventy poems, this book is the fifth in a series of poetry books published by Satyapal Anand. His poetry, it has been said, is more cerebral than emotional. His poems reveal many splendored splashes of color and sound. The essential mythological self of humanity as a whole sparkles in these poems. His personae are all inside his poems. 'Here' and 'now' and 'there' and 'then' combine to create the timelessness of human psyche. There is a kind of double vision, the imagist's faculty for seeing a thing at once precisely for itself and also as a part of the bigger phenomenon. In the form of a dramatic monologue, the speaker and his speech reflect the time, place, thought, social conventions, and general circumstances. Of the seventy poems, there are twelve poems directly translated from Urdu. Calling Anand's poetry as 'fresh breeze,' the noted critic Caroline Greene says that nothing extraordinary has happened in American poetry in the past half a century, and if an Urdu poet of the stature of Satyapal Anand has brought his treasure house to us, it is likely to change the scenario here.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - FOR MY LOVE ENDURES FOREVER, Book 2ABOUT THIS BOOKThe introduction to this book asks the question, 'What word would describe a life when love is taken away but not removed from the heart ' Indeed, there exist many choices of words with which to answer, probably as many choices as there are people in all walks of life faced with that question at one time or another. At the time of the death of my wife, I, a visual artist unable to express an appropriate answer in the two dimensions I knew, one I could remain living with, could only do what my heart dictated. For better or worse, for richness of thought or paucity in meaning, I arrived at a type of marriage between the known and the spiritual, one speaking of both and of the love affair that paradoxically never ended, which still exists in a spiritual context.Joseph Anthony Russo.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Just as Jesus spoke to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, so too will He speak personally to the reader as he or she 'walks' with Him. In Walk With Me, Jesus says, 'Let me take you to that moment when I will enter your heart.' To walk with Jesus, to be with Him, to listen to Him, to hear Him, makes it possible to become more like Him so that little by little our hearts and minds reflect Jesus. 'I want to let you know who you are to Me and to My Father. And to tell you that We need you. To you, beloved one, God gives His life and calls you into His very life. Come and see how our life together grows from simply being together each day.' God has His perfect plan for each of us; each of us is completely in His mind, and His will for each is perfect. The 'way' of Jesus is the holy way, the wonder-filled way, the way that bears much fruit in our life and in the world. 'I am the Friend who, through our friendship, will bring you further into eternal life.' It is the life He alone brings and nourishes. Give Him that moment to be with Him, to listen to Him, to hear Him, to let Him touch your life, and to let Him lead you. (233 words). …
