Summary

"Lacrosse Legends" offers a captivating journey through the evolution of North America's oldest team sport, skillfully weaving together the stories of influential players who shaped its transformation from sacred Native American tradition to modern competitive sport.The book uniquely bridges three centuries of lacrosse history, with particular focus on the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) nations' foundational role in creating what they reverently called "the Creator's game." Through meticulous research combining tribal oral histories, sports archives, and historical records, the narrative unfolds across three distinct periods: the sacred origins among indigenous peoples, the crucial transitional period (1850-1950) when the sport became formally organized, and the modern era's explosive growth.Readers discover how early Native American players served as both athletes and cultural ambassadors, while Canadian innovators established the first official rulebook, forever changing how the game would be played. The book's comprehensive approach examines both men's and women's lacrosse, analyzing not just the technical evolution of play but also the broader social implications of the sport's development. By combining scholarly research with engaging biographical narratives, it offers valuable insights for everyone from casual sports enthusiasts to serious players and coaches, while preserving the rich cultural heritage that makes lacrosse unique among North American sports.

    The Secret Carp is a fishing book with a difference. As The Independent comments, it is one of the few books that manages to capture the real joy of fishing in such a way that even a non-angler could be seduced. It tells the true story of the events of a single day and night beside an English carp lake in high summer.
    When he stumbled upon a long-neglected, overgrown lake holding some monster carp, Chris Yates knew that he had discovered the kind of place about which every carp angler dreams. He set about trying to catch the huge, elusive inhabitants with rod and line. It was a quest that was to reveal many insights into the secretive behaviour of this king of freshwater fish and bring him thrillingly into contact with his quarry.
    Waiting, watching and stalking, quite undeterred by the damp sleeping bag and the cold. Yates' enthralling story whispers adventure and promise. And it is punctuated by moments of great drama as monster fish disturb the tranquil world of the angler.
    Fishermen of all persuasions will enjoy this masterful angling chronicle.

    This is the audio recording of the "Phantom Punch" title fight--the second championship bout between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston--held on May 25, 1965, at St. Dominic’s Hall in Lewiston, Maine. It also includes a follow-up analysis by boxing experts. This rematch is infamous for the controversial "phantom punch" that led to Liston's quick defeat in the first round. Ali knocked Liston down, but the punch was not clearly seen by many observers, leading to speculation about a fix. The fight was marred by confusion, as the referee failed to administer a proper count, and the atmosphere surrounding the event was tense, contributing to its notoriety.

    "Disastrously hilarious." —USA Today 
     
    "Even before the start of spring training, Herzog had said, 'If Rich Billings is the starting catcher again, we're in deep trouble.' When that evaluation was passed along to Billings, he simply nodded and said, 'Whitey, obviously, has seen me play.'" In early 1973, gonzo sportswriter Mike Shropshire agreed to cover the Texas Rangers for the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram, not realizing that the Rangers were arguably the worst team in baseball history. 
     
    Seasons in Hell is a riotous, candid, irreverent behind-the-scenes account in the tradition of The Bronx Zoo and Ball Four, following the Texas Rangers from Whitey Herzog's reign in 1973 through Billy Martin's tumultuous tenure. Offering wonderful perspectives on dozens of unique (and likely never-to-be-seen-again) baseball personalities, Seasons in Hell recounts some of the most extreme characters ever to play the game and brings to life the no-holds-barred culture of major league baseball in the mid-seventies.
