Sinopsis

Kayaking Paddle Essentials emphasizes the importance of informed gear selection for a safe and enjoyable kayaking experience. It highlights that choosing the right paddle, personal flotation device (PFD), and watertight storage solutions are crucial for mitigating risks on the water. Paddles have evolved significantly, with modern carbon fiber designs offering superior weight and efficiency compared to older wooden models. Likewise, PFD technology has advanced to provide better buoyancy and comfort. The book explores these three essential components in detail, starting with an introduction to their fundamental principles. It then delves into paddle selection, discussing blade shapes and materials, and offers guidance on matching paddles to different kayaking styles, such as touring and recreational kayaking. A significant portion is dedicated to PFDs, comparing various types and providing advice on proper fitting and maintenance. Watertight storage is also examined, with case studies on different container types and packing strategies to protect essential supplies. By combining manufacturer specifications, expert opinions, and scientific studies, Kayaking Paddle Essentials empowers kayakers with the knowledge to make confident gear choices, enhancing both their safety and overall enjoyment on the water. The book progresses systematically across chapters, building from basic concepts to real-world applications, making it a valuable resource for both novice and experienced kayakers.

    On an early morning in 1983, after the worst loss of his career (109-66 against Virginia) and amid the cries of powerful athletics boosters calling for him to be fired, Duke men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski went to breakfast at 2:00 a.m. to vent with friends. Sports journalist and Duke alumnus John Feinstein was at the table. For Coach K, “the night at Denny’s” would mark a turning point in his career and for the team, and eight years later, the Blue Devils would win their first NCAA national championship. 
      
    In Five Banners, Feinstein tells the inside history of Coach K’s forty-two-year career at Duke and its five NCAA championships, from the first, against Kansas in 1991, to the most recent, in 2015 against Wisconsin. With unparalleled access to Coach K, the team, and its staff, Feinstein takes readers on a mesmerizing ride into the locker room and onto the court. Full of intimate details, personal memories, and previously untold on- and off-court stories, it is a book that only Feinstein could write. 
      
    Feinstein explores a basketball legacy that begins with his days as an undergrad Duke Chronicle reporter covering coaches Bucky Waters and Neill McGeachy (who went 10-16 in one year as head coach), includes the “drought years” of the 1980s and the glory of the teams of the 1990s, and moves into the present day with Jon Scheyer’s succession. Drawing on new interviews, Feinstein highlights the voices of Grant Hill, Nolan Smith, Christian Laettner, Tommy Amaker, and Bobby Hurley, who each bring new insights on the championship years. 
      
    Throughout, Feinstein unveils the momentous force of college basketball as a game of intense relationships and intimate conversations. Candid, revelatory, and engrossing, Five Banners is an essential book for all Duke fans and anyone who loves the college game.

    A Grand Slam for God - A Journey...

    Burke Masters, Mike Sweeney

    Burke Masters had the perfect game plan for his life: he was going to become a Major League Baseball player. As a star infielder for Mississippi State with a game-winning grand slam to help his team reach the College World Series, he was well on his way to the career of his dreams. But little did he know that his life-changing call would not be from a recruiter to join the Major Leagues—it would be from God to become a priest.  
    In this page-turning memoir, Fr. Burke takes readers on an intimate personal journey—from his childhood outside of Chicago, to his success in baseball, to his conversion to Catholicism, and finally, to his acceptance of his vocation. Amid severe doubt and personal loss, he learned to embrace his fundamental identity—not as an athlete, but as a beloved son of God and a spiritual father to God’s people. Fr. Burke’s story is a powerful reminder that God’s plan for us is so much greater than our own; that it fulfills our dreams in ways greater than we could have imagined; and that if we only have the courage to say yes, every moment is an opportunity for a grand slam for God.
