  The outdoor survival expert’s complete primer on traditional camping techniques—newly revised and updated with color photos and illustrations. Before the days of RVs and nylon sleeping bags, people still went camping. In this comprehensive volume, wilderness educator David Prescott explains the methods used during the golden age of camping, including woodcraft, how to set a campfire, food preparation, pitching a tent, auto camping, and canoeing. More than a simple how-to guide, Camping in the Old Style explores the rich history of American camping, with wisdom from classic books written by camping pioneers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Wescott also discusses his own methods, techniques, and philosophies. The information and ideas are brought to life through both archival and contemporary photographs.

  A collection of quotes, anecdotes, and malaprops from one of baseball’s wisest and wittiest personalities.  New York Times–bestselling author Phil Pepe takes readers along on Yogi Berra’s journey from St. Louis to New York’s Yankee Stadium, including all the stops along the way—from his days as a tack-puller in a women’s shoe factory, to a pre-game tribute in St. Louis, when he coined the phrase, “I want to thank all those that made this night necessary,” to his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Pepe explores Yogi Berra as a boy, player, hero, coach, manager, husband, father, and jokester, including all of the “Yogi-isms,” in an absorbing treatment that is simultaneously comical, thoughtful, and biographical.   Famous Yogi-isms:   - About a popular restaurant: “Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.” - On Little League Baseball: “I think it’s wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house.” - On why the Yankees lost the 1960 World Series: “We made too many wrong mistakes.”

  Are you looking to start trading options, but have no idea where to get started? If your answer is "yes", then this book is the number-one guide to get you started. While there are a hundred different ways to invest your money, there are very few ways to help reduce your downside risk. Options trading, if done right, can help hedge against bad stock performance. However, options trading is very confusing; with lots of methods, long definitions, and puzzling contracts. The media also tends to simplify the stock market by talking about stocks and bonds only. As a result, most people do not bother looking into options. Heck, a lot of people haven't even heard of options trading. But, I assure you, options trading can be significantly profitable, and a great complement to your existing investment portfolio.

  The dramatic expose of how the University of Oregon sold its soul to Nike, and what that means for the future of our public institutions and our society. 
  In the mid-1990s, facing severe cuts to its public funding, the University of Oregon-like so many colleges across the country-was desperate for cash. Luckily, the Oregon Ducks' 1995 Rose Bowl berth caught the attention of the school's wealthiest alumnus: Nike founder Phil Knight, who was seeking new marketing angles at the collegiate level. And so the University of Nike was born: Knight has so far donated more than half a billion dollars to the school in exchange for high-visibility branding opportunities. 
  But as journalist Joshua Hunt shows in University of Nike, Oregon has paid dearly for the veneer of financial prosperity and athletic success that has come with this brand partnering. 
  Hunt uncovers efforts to conceal university records, buried sexual assault allegations against university athletes, and cases of corporate overreach into academics and campus life. 
  Encompassing more than just sports and the academy, University of Nike is a riveting story of our times.
