Summary

In Pumping Irony, fitness expert Andrew Ginsburg presents a workout and diet program that helps one lose weight, build muscle, and sculpt a unique body. Ginsburg treats each physique as an art project, except the body is the canvas, the weights are the paintbrush, and the food is the paint. In addition to the diet and exercise regime, this book offers unique insight into finding the right trainer, advice on how to sniff out fake trainers, gym etiquette, and details regarding how to find the right gym attire. The mental side of fitness is also discussed to keep the trainee motivated to reach their fitness goals. Pumping Irony presents a tried and true workout and diet strategy that leaves nothing to chance. By combining extensive fitness knowledge with engaging humor, this book makes the notion of going to the gym a fun and exciting one. Readers will be able to laugh their way through the workout, regardless of its intensity.

    Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) photographer Alyn Robert Brereton offers both the beauty and the dirt of the western United States in Cowboys and Rodeos. This stunning coffee-table book is a piece of art, showcasing a working ranch in northern California, horses, cattle, tack, boots, buckles, cowgirls, cowboys, and rodeos. Brereton provides some information about the various rodeo events that are then highlighted with spectacularly timed photography that captures the skill, strength, courage, and bone-jarring rides of the cowboys and cowgirls. You will be awed at the rough-stock events—bareback bronc, saddle bronc, and bull riding—and how the cowboys stay on the animals, or not, shown in amazing images. The timed events—steer wrestling, tie-down roping, team roping, barrel racing, and breakaway roping—require precision and finesse from both the riders and the photographer. And not to be forgotten are the bullfighters and clowns, mutton bustin’ little cowfolk, and other entertainment such as goat scrambles, trick-riding, and roping skills that are a part of rodeos and Western Americana.

    Son of Havana - A Baseball...

    Luis Tiant is one of the most charismatic and accomplished players in Boston Red Sox history - a cigar-chomping maestro who was the heart and soul of Boston's teams in the 1970s. In his white polyester uniform, with a paunch in his belly and a Fu Manchu mustache on his face, Tiant looked like a guy rolling out of bed for a Sunday-morning beer league. But nobody was a tougher competitor on the diamond, and few were as successful. There may be no more qualified pitcher not yet enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
     
    His big-league dreams came at a steep price-racism in the Deep South and the Boston suburbs, fifteen years separated from a family held captive in Castro's Cuba. But baseball also delivered World Series stardom and a heroic return to his island home after a half-century of forced exile. The man whose name-"El Tiante"-became a Fenway Park battle cry has never fully shared his tale in his own words, until now.
     
    In Son of Havana, Tiant puts his huge heart on his sleeve and describes his road from fields strewn with rocks and rubbish in Havana to the pristine lawns of Major League ballparks. Ballplayers, family, and media also weigh-in-including a foreword by fellow 1975 hero Carl Yastrzemski and the first in-depth interview ever with Hall of Fame catcher Carlton Fisk on the magic behind the Boston batterymates.
