Beschreibung

'Who's this grey-haired bleeder?' 
Few people expected the slim, bespectacled 33-year-old who made his Test debut at Lord's in 1975 to be the one to rescue England after a first Test thrashing in the Ashes – especially after he took a wrong turn in the pavilion on his way to the middle. Yet David Steele faced down the fearsome pace duo of Lillee and Thomson, saving the honour of English cricket by drawing the remaining three matches and finishing top of the England batting averages. It propelled him into a national hero and led to him becoming the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. 
A dogged and determined batsman cast from the same mould as his contemporary, Geoffrey Boycott, Steele also stood up to the destructive bowling of the West Indies, twice helped take Northamptonshire to the brink of the County Championship, was named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year and won the NatWest Trophy with Derbyshire. 
In this authorised biography produced with the help of hours of interviews with David Steele, Ian Addis and Andrew Radd dig into the memories of a cricket icon whose Churchillian efforts with the bat made him the unexpected saviour of English cricket.

    Only one man is recognized by three world religions as liberator, lawgiver, prophet and pastor. That man is Moses, and his story leaves a profound imprint on Western civilization.In this audio program, you will address the various struggles and triumphs throughout the life of Moses and come to better understand his legacy for the future generations of God's chosen people, the Israelites, as well as for us as Christians today. This study will unite the accounts of Moses in the first five books of the Bible and illustrate clearly the full significance of this faithful servant.The story of Moses is one of the most well-known biblical accounts. The burning bush, the plagues in Egypt, the parting of the sea and the 10 Commandments are widely familiar scenes that have been adapted for novels, art and film over the centuries. But what is factual and what fictitious elements have current adaptations added to our imagination?With Dr. Stephen B. Reid, Professor of Christian Scriptures at Baylor University, you'll discover that the story of Moses begins with the story of his people. How did this people, promised the land of Canaan, get so off course that they landed in Egypt? You will begin with the opening chapters of the book of Exodus which depict the context of Moses' birth, adolescence and early career. As Moses flees into the wilderness he meets Zipporah, Jethro and the LORD. These encounters compel him return to Egypt and the vocation that will take the rest of his life.Explore the ten plagues, Passover, the miracle at the sea of reeds, the adventures in the wilderness, the Covenant and Law at Sinai and Moses' reflections in his farewell address in Deuteronomy. This detailed course offers profound insight into the narrative of one of the Old Testament's most important figures

    About Book 
    A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that both he and others in Auschwitz coped (or didn't) with the experience. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. 
    The sort of person the concentration camp prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone. Frankl came to believe man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living. 
    Viktor Emil Frankl M.D., Ph.D.,  
    was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor. Frankl was the founder of logotherapy, which is a form of Existential Analysis, the "Third Viennese School" of psychotherapy. 
    His book Man's Search for Meaning (first published under a different title in 1959: From Death-Camp to Existentialism. Originally published in 1946 as Ein Psycholog erlebt das Konzentrationslager) chronicles his experiences as a concentration camp inmate and describes his psychotherapeutic method of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most sordid ones, and thus a reason to continue living. He was one of the key figures in existential therapy.

    Robert Plant: The Voice That Sailed the Zeppelin follows the iconic singer through his heights of fame with classic rock giant Led Zeppelin, his second life as a multimillion-selling solo artist, and his more idiosyncratic pursuits. A wealth of former associates lend their voices and recollections to an account that steps far beyond the tried and tested tales of Zeppelin's life and times.This biography details Plant's early years as an unknown in Birmingham, England, with fresh depth and insight. It likewise tells the Zeppelin story from new and unexpected angles, focusing on Plant's contributions to the band's success and on the toll/effect of that success on him as a performer and an individual.After drummer John Bonham died in 1980 and Zeppelin broke up, Plant went solo two years later, in time becoming the only former band member to maintain an unbroken career to this day. His single-mindedness in meeting this challenge might well be his greatest personal attribute, enabling him to push forward without regard for his past or any related expectations. Dave Thompson shows how it is Plant's determination alone that ensured Zeppelin reunions would not become a routine part of the classic rock furniture, as he created a body of work that in so many ways artistically rivals what he recorded with the band.

    From the New York Times bestselling author of Bad Feminist: a searingly honest memoir of food, weight, self-image, and learning how to feed your hunger while taking care of yourself. 
    "I ate and ate and ate in the hopes that if I made myself big, my body would be safe. I buried the girl I was because she ran into all kinds of trouble. I tried to erase every memory of her, but she is still there, somewhere. . . . I was trapped in my body, one that I barely recognized or understood, but at least I was safe." 
    In her phenomenally popular essays and long-running Tumblr blog, Roxane Gay has written with intimacy and sensitivity about food and body, using her own emotional and psychological struggles as a means of exploring our shared anxieties over pleasure, consumption, appearance, and health. As a woman who describes her own body as "wildly undisciplined," Roxane understands the tension between desire and denial, between self-comfort and self-care. In Hunger, she explores her past—including the devastating act of violence that acted as a turning point in her young life—and brings readers along on her journey to understand and ultimately save herself. 
    With the bracing candor, vulnerability, and power that have made her one of the most admired writers of her generation, Roxane explores what it means to learn to take care of yourself: how to feed your hungers for delicious and satisfying food, a smaller and safer body, and a body that can love and be loved—in a time when the bigger you are, the smaller your world becomes.
