Beschreibung

Michelangelo, thirty years old, was a sailor in the Mediterranean, a train driver in South America, a driver in Northern Europe and dreams of becoming an airplane pilot.
The thirst for adventure and the need to experience his solitude lead him to Kenya, where the casual discovery of a poster will push him to travel to Tanzania to face the highest mountain of the continent: Kilimanjaro. Climbing is an opportunity to test himself once again, to return to experience the thrill of the unknown, to remember the past but above all to dream of the future.

Edoardo Albasini was born in Florence in 1991.
At the age of twenty he moved to London, where he carried out the most varied professions until he found the only business that seemed to do for him: aviation.
Thus he begins to travel, six months a year in a suit and tie and the remaining backpacking. He visits more than 105 countries, noting his adventures and reflections in his notebooks.
Author of Via nella notte, Nient'altro che vita and Vertigine.
Vertigo is his first book translated and published in English.
He has more than 22,000 followers on Instagram with his profile Thevanishedchronicles, where he talks about his travels.
Verfügbar seit: 16.05.2023.

    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.

    An uplifting leadership book about a coach who helped transform the nation’s worst high school hockey team into one of the best. Bacon’s strategy is straightforward: set high expectations, make them accountable to each other, and inspire them all to lead their team.   When John U. Bacon played for the Ann Arbor Huron High School River Rats, he never scored a goal. Yet somehow, years later he found himself leading his alma mater’s downtrodden program. How bad? The team hadn’t won a game in over a year, making them the nation’s worst squad—a fact they celebrated. With almost everyone expecting more failure, Bacon made it special to play for Huron by making it hard, which inspired the players to excel. Then he defied conventional wisdom again by putting the players in charge of team discipline, goal-setting, and even decision-making – and it worked. In just three seasons the River Rats bypassed 95-percent of the nation’s teams.   A true story filled with unforgettable characters, stories, and lessons that apply to organizations everywhere, Let Them Lead includes the leader’s mistakes and the reactions of the players, who have since achieved great success as leaders themselves. Let Them Lead is a fast-paced, feel-good book that leaders of all kinds can embrace to motivate their teams to work harder, work together, and take responsibility for their own success.
