Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Author Gene Logsdon?whom Wendell Berry once called ?the most experienced and best observer of agriculture we have??has a notion: That it is a little easier for gardeners and farmers to accept death than the rest of the populace. Why? Because every day, farmers and gardeners help plants and animals begin life and help plants and animals end life. They are intimately attuned to the food chain. They understand how all living things are seated around a dining table, eating while being eaten. They realize that all of nature is in flux. Gene Everlasting contains Logsdon?s reflections, by turns both humorous and heart-wrenching, on nature, death, and eternity, all from a contrary farmer?s perspective. He recounts joys and tragedies from his childhood in the 1930s and ?40s spent on an Ohio farm, through adulthood and child-raising, all the way up to his recent bout with cancer, always with an eye toward the lessons that farming has taught him about life and its mysteries. Whether his subject is parsnips, pigweed, immortality, irises, green burial, buzzards, or compound interest, Logsdon generously applies as much heart and wit to his words as he does care and expertise to his fields.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Role of a Lifetime is the story of the crucial role Larry Farmer played on teams that won three NCAA titles for UCLA under Coach John Wooden. Farmer?s record at UCLA was 89?1, the greatest winning percentage in NCAA history. (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was 88?2.) Role of a Lifetime also details how Farmer, a self-taught player from the playgrounds of Denver, managed to secure a full scholarship, make the varsity team as a sophomore, and ultimately become the head basketball coach at UCLA at the age of 30?the first black head coach for any sport at UCLA. The book chronicles the reactions of black leaders to his role as the first black head coach, as well as the inside politics that led him to resign after three years as coach, just days after accepting a two-year extension. Farmer also shares new insights about UCLA athletic booster Sam Gilbert and his role in the team?s NCAA probation. Farmer?s insider perspective during UCLA basketball?s most fabled period, combined with his natural ability to relate entertaining and informative anecdotes about legendary figures such as John Wooden, Bill Walton, Jamaal Wilkes, Reggie Miller, and many other famous players and coaches from throughout the world of college basketball, makes Role of a Lifetime a must-have for all Bruin fans and fans of basketball everywhere.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. BEYOND MERE BELIEF is a unique nonfiction Christian book that applies a dark energy analysis to theology. My book The Dual Energy Concept proved dark energy is non-atomic in nature. With its material counterpart, it comprises 96% of the universe-yet it is unseen. This is the ethereal realm. Extrapolation explains current abstracts, providing a physical understanding of such things as the soul, sin, salvation, Heaven, even the Light of God. But this book is not just about energy. It also provides new, deeper insights into other Christian concepts such as a new take on creation, another major reason Jesus had to die, the prophesied role of Jews and Christians in the End Time, the real rapture, and more. Scripture references are provided throughout for Biblical verification. Application of these topics to the four gospels rounds out the book. People from high school to middle-aged adults crave this deeper understanding of the Bible. They want more realism in what they are taught. This book's purpose is to give the masses that realism, something tactile to support their Christian faith. …
