    The first woman inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, there was no one like Effa Manley in the sports world of the 1930s and 1940s. She was a sophisticated woman who owned a baseball team. She never shrank from going head to head with men, who dominated the ranks of sports executives. That her life story remained unchronicled for so long can only be attributed to one thing: her team, the Newark Eagles, belonged to the Negro Leagues. 
     
     
     
    In Queen of the Negro Leagues: Effa Manley and the Newark Eagles, Negro Leagues Centennial Edition, James Overmyer brings to light new details regarding Effa Manley's fascinating story, including previously-unknown information about her childhood and family. Overmyer wonderfully portrays Effa Manley's trailblazing life, her championship baseball team, and a thriving black community in Newark that took the Eagles into their hearts. In addition, this book contains updates regarding the Negro Leagues, its talented rank of players, and Manley's induction into the Hall of Fame. 
     
     
     
    This important work shines the spotlight on a previously unsung segment of baseball history. Drawing extensively from Eagle team records and Manley's scrapbook, Queen of the Negro Leagues is the definitive biography of a groundbreaking female sports executive.

    This book contains three titles: 
    - Climbing High: The origins of rock climbing date back centuries, with early climbers seeking adventure, exploration, or even survival on natural rock formations. However, it wasn’t until the late 19th century that climbing became a formalized activity. In the mountains of Europe, climbers began developing techniques and tools that allowed them to tackle increasingly difficult routes. From its humble beginnings, rock climbing has evolved into a global sport with various disciplines, each offering its own set of challenges and rewards. 
    - Fitness and Recovery: Fitness is not just about looking good; it’s about feeling strong, energetic, and healthy in all aspects of your life. The foundation of fitness begins with understanding what it truly means to be fit and how to set yourself up for long-term success. It is important to recognize that fitness is not a one-time achievement, but rather a continuous journey that requires dedication, balance, and conTo build a solid foundation, you must first understand the four main components of fitness: strength, cardiovascular health, flexibility, and body composition. Strength refers to your muscles’ ability to exert force. Cardiovascular health focuses on the efficiency of your heart and lungs. Flexibility ensures that your muscles and joints can move freely and safely. 
    - Mind-Body Fitness: The connection between the mind and body is a vital aspect of overall health, yet it is often overlooked in modern approaches to fitness. Mind-body fitness emphasizes the interdependence of mental and physical well-being, advocating for a holistic approach that nurtures both areas simultaneously. This concept transcends traditional workouts, offering a path to not only physical strength but also mental clarity and emotional balance.
